Daniel 8:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 8:9

7 And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him,¹ attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

8 Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it ^afour notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven.

9 ^aAnd out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, ^btoward the east, and toward the ^cGlorious Land.

10 ^aAnd it grew up to ^bthe host of heaven; and ^cit cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

11 ^aHe even exalted himself as high as ^bthe Prince of the host; ^cand by him ^dthe daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of¹ His sanctuary was cast down.

12 Because of transgression, ^aan army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast ^btruth down to the ground. He ^cdid all this and prospered.

13 Then I heard ^aa holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression¹ of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”
