En ik hief mijn ogen op, en ik zag, en ziet, een ram stond voor dien vloed, die had twee hoornen, en die twee hoornen waren hoog, en de een was hoger dan de andere, en de hoogste kwam in het laatste op.
Wat betekent dit?

Imagine you're watching a cartoon where a strong sheep appears on screen near a big river. This sheep has two giant horns, like antennas, but one is taller because it grew last. It's like when your friend grows taller overnight!
Historische achtergrond
The book of Daniel was written by the prophet Daniel during his exile in Babylon around the 6th century BC. This vision is part of a series of prophetic dreams and visions meant to reveal future events to the Jewish people.

In modern times, this can remind us that sometimes growth happens at different rates for different parts of our lives or for different people. Just like the ram's horns, one area might seem more prominent now, but another could grow later.
