"The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia./And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."
Where the Spirit expressly names them we accept it as truth. They are are placed in the scripture for their historical value but for eliciting what their roles shall be in the divine Will. To us their importance is this: they are beasts to which the Spirit refers in the last book."And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."(Rev.17.11)
Of these eight beasts we have allusion to one who was and who shall yet reemerge in another form overarch the entire generation of Jesus Christ, In Rev.ch.19 we see Jesus in the gospels not as was presented by four saints but as one who is the king of kings, The Word of God is shown in 19.19 fighting from both fronts so the unclean spirit Satan shall be taken and bound for a millennia at the end. This is what 'even he is the eight' refers. The beast shall make his final before the day of regeneration commences. "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army."(19.19).
The Spirit is not serving a narrative from POV of man but what shall serve as instruction in our righteousness. "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war." None of the wars man ever fought can be qualified as righteous since it only has added folly on folly. What evil does is evil double fold. So what does the angel from heaven say? "For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities./Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double."(Rev.18.5-6;18.11)
