At what age did Alexander the Great become the greatest empire on earth?
At age 33, Alexander the Great became the then greatest empire on earth. The Grecian Empire, depicted as a he-goat from the west with a notable horn, overran the Mede and Persian Empire and extended all the way to the Ganges River.
Les explains that the he-goat coming from the west represents the Grecian Empire, and its notable horn is Alexander the Great. Unlike the Medes and Persians, who were a consortium, Alexander was a conqueror of one; he alone raised up out of the Grecian Empire. The vision shows a fight between two empires, and history confirms the Greeks won. Alexander overran the Mede and Persian Empire, took his conquest all the way to the Ganges River, and by the time he was 33 years old he had become the then greatest empire on earth.
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
