And that one having been broken, so that there were four that finally stood up instead of it, there are four kingdoms from his nation that will stand up, but not with his power.”​—Da 8 Vss. 20-22.

Upon Alexander’s death​—the breaking of the great horn on the he-goat—​the Fifth World Power of Greece was divided into four parts. Each part was ruled over by one of Alexander’s four generals​—the four little horns that replaced the great horn, but they never gained its power.
