A little horn... Antiochus Epiphanes, a descendant of Seleucus. He grew
against the south, and the east, by his victories over the kings of
Egypt and Armenia: and against the strength, that is, against Jerusalem
and the people of God.
8:10. And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it
threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them.
Unto the strength of heaven... or, against the strength of heaven. So
are here called the army of the Jews, the people of God.
8:11. And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it
took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of
his sanctuary.
8:12. And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice,
because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he
shall do and shall prosper.
8:13. And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to
another I know not to whom, that was speaking: How long shall be the
vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the
desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden
under foot?
8:14. And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three
hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days... That is, six
years and almost four months: which was the whole time from the
beginning of the persecution of Antiochus till his death.
8:15. And it came to pass when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and sought the
meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of
a man.
8:16. And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and
said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
8:17. And he came, and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I
fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man,
for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.
8:18. And when he spoke to me, I fell flat on the ground: and he touched
me, and set me upright.
8:19. And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to
pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.
8:20. The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes
and Persians.
8:21. And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn
that was between his eyes, the same is the first king.
8:22. But whereas when that was borken, there arose up four for it, four
kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength.
8:23. And after their reign, when iniquities shall be grown up, there
shall arise a king of a shameless face, and understanding dark
sentences.
8:24. And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own force: and
he shall lay all things waste, and shall prosper, and do more than can
be believed. And he shall destroy the mighty, and the people of the
saints,
8:25. According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand:
and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he
shall kill many: and he shall rise up aginst the prince of princes, and
shall be broken without hand.
8:26. And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is
true: thou, therefore, seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass
after many days.
8:27. And I, Daniel, languished, and was sick for some days: and when I
was risen up, I did the king's business, and I was astonished at the
vision, and there was none that could interpret it.
