And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
 

11:3 with great dominion. This mighty king is none other than Alexander the Great (334–323 B.C.). After more than another century of Persian power, and Graeco-Persian wars, Alexander decisively defeated the Persians and swiftly conquered the other nations of his day. He was the “he-goat” of the prophecies of Daniel 8:5-7,21.
