Daniel 8:5 – As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.
The key words in this “Prophecy” are “West” and “Without Touching the Ground”. As I look at this I can say that yes Alexander the Great (Not form the M.E.) did fulfill most of Daniel 8, but this verse was not “Literally” fulfilled, and that is “Important”. So, has any nation ever fulfilled this verse “Literally”? Think hard, this is Important and has major ramifications on what follows. Well, looking back on history, No nation has fulfilled this verse; actually no nation has had the capability to “Literally” fulfill this verse, until just recently.

Daniel 8:6-7 – He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at him in great rage. I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns.

I've never thought about this passage like that before. I always looked at it, saw "Alexander", and moved along. But it's entirely possible that it, like many other prophecies, has a dual fulfillment. I shall have to study it further. This is some exciting stuff...
This was shown to me back in 1991 when I had the privilege to be apart of the first step in fulfilling this verse, and I've been keeping an eye on it. At the time that this prophecy was given Iran and Iraq were one country, and we may have to attack Iran to complete the literal fulfillment, but Iran has to be intact enough to head into Ez 38-39.
