(DANIEL 8:1O)
(AND IT WAXED GREAT, EVEN TO THE HOST OF HEAVEN)
Daniel 8:10 " And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven..." This was when Antiochus IV waxed great toward the Host of Heaven. The time was 165, BC Antiochus IV entered Jerusalem, killing everyone that resisted him. Many of the Jews and Ministers were killed. Thus to give both the Sanctuary and the Host to be trodden under foot.
HE MAGNIFIED HIMSELF EVEN TO THE LEADER OF THE HOST. PAGE 31
This is reading from the Hebrew, Greeks, and English Translation Bible. Daniel 8:11 " Yea he magnified Himself even to the Leader of the Host. By him the Daily Sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down." The Prince of the Host was Judas Maccabues. When King Antiochus IV came to the village, killing all that resisted him. Antiochus tried to make the High Priest offer a pig to the goddess Zeus. This High Priest was Mattathias : the High Priest of the Host of the Children of Israel. Daniel 8:11"THE PLACE OF HIS SANCTUARY WAS CAST DOWN.
The Sanctuary was the Temple: the place of the High Priest Mattathias. Mattathias altar was the place where the High Priest offered a LAMB every evening. The Altar and the Temple were the place of his sanctuary. And when King Antiochus IV offered a pig on the altar, He defiled the Temple. This was the casting down of his place: which was the sanctuary of the TEMPLE.. AND THE DAILY SACRIFICE WAS TAKEN AWAY Daniel 8:11 "... And by him the daily sacrifice was taken away..." The Daily Sacrifice was a Lamb that they Sacrificed every evening. And when the Army of King Antiochus IV entered Jerusalem and the Temple, he defiled the Altar. This was the taking away of the Daily Sacrifice. It was quite some time before the Jews conquered Antiochus' Army and took the Temple back. They rededicated the Altar and Temple to God. page 32.
THE DAILY SACRIFICE: The daily sacrifice was of the daily Ministry of the Temple. This was just a remembrance of their sins until Christ could come and be crucified on Calvary. THE HOST GIVEN HIM BY REASON OF TRANSGRESSION
Daniel 8:12 " And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression. He cast down the truth to the ground; and He practiced, and prospered." The Host was some of the Jews that turned to Antiochus IV by reason of transgression. These were the Jews that adopted Greek Culture and Customs; in so much that they almost abandoned their Jewish religion. These that sided with the Greek Culture were the Host given unto him. Given unto Antiochus against the daily sacrifice; they were given unto him by reason of transgressions. Daniel 8:12 "... And He practiced, and prospered." He did practice, and prospered until Judas Maccabeus Conquered the Temple again.
DANIEL 8:10
CASTING DOWN OF THE STARS Daniel 8:10 " And it waxed great, even to the host of Heaven. It cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them." The casting down of the Stars: these Stars were the Priests. The Stars that were cast down were the Priests that adopted Greek Culture and Customs, almost to the Abandoning their Jewish Religion. These were the Stars that were cast down by King Antiochus IV.
THE VISION CONCERNING THE DAILY SACRIFICE
Daniel 8:13 " Then I heard one SAINT speaking, and another SAINT which spoke. How long shall it be to the Vision concerning the Daily Sacrifice? How long to the Transgression of the Desolation. To give both the sanctuary and the Host to be trodden under foot."
THE EVENINGS AND MORNINGS SACRIFICE
Daniel 8:14 " And he said to me, that it would be for 2,000and 300 evenings, and mornings. Then they will be vindicated by the sanctuary." (This is reading from the Hebrew, Greek, and English Translation Bible.) Daniel 8:14 " For 2,000 and 300 evenings and mornings, newe 33.
Then they will be vindicated by the sanctuary." newe 33. ."
(This is reading from the Hebrew, Greek, and English Translation Bible.) Daniel 8:14 " For 2,000 and 300 evenings, and mornings, Then they will be vindicated by the sanctuary." This is the first time the prophecies of Daniel, and Revelation uses the Words: Evenings and Mornings. These are the 2,300 literal days. We will not take these Days as a symbolic Year As the Other Prophecies. This is because it uses these as literal Days, as in Daniel. Daniel 8:14 uses Literal Days as Mornings, and Evenings, where as the other Prophecies users a symbolic day, meaning a Year.
THE PERIOD OF 2,300 DAYS
Daniel 8:14 " And he said to me, for 2,000 and 300 evenings, and mornings, and then it will be vindicated by the sanctuary."
TWO THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED MORNINGS AND EVENINGS: This Makes Six Years, and Three Months, and Twenty Literal Days. This was the period of time Antiochus IV cast down the Priests, and the Host of Israel. They destroyed many of the Books of the Old Testament, and went into the Temple. Antiochus IV had triumphed for Four Years before. Then the Second time he triumphed Two Years. This makes Six Years, and Three Months, and 20 Evenings, and Mornings. This was the period of time of this prophecy that Daniel spoke of. This was 2,000 and 300 Days Israel was triumphed over by Antiochus IV. After this period of time the Sanctuary, or Temple was vindicated by the Maccabeus. The remaining verses of Daniel Chapter 8, from verse 15 through 23, are just repeating. The remaining verses are the same things that I have explained up to verse 15 in Daniel: Chapter Eight.
