Little Horn Grows Great Unto Heaven & the Prince of the Host Daniel 8:10,11,12

10 ”10 ”And it grew up to the host of And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled to the ground, and trampled them.them.””

11 ”11 ”He even exalted himself as He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; high as the Prince of the host;

The AC will fight the “host of heaven” meaning God’s Endtime children! He will persecute and even kill some of them. He will also exalt himself above JESUS! —The Prince of Heaven’s Army!

The Little Horn Takes Away The Daily (Jewish) Sacrifices Daniel 8:10,11,12

11 .. 11 .. and by and by himhim the the daily sacrificesdaily sacrifices were were taken away, and the taken away, and the place of His sanctuary place of His sanctuary was cast down.was cast down.””

12 ”12 ”Because of Because of transgression, an army transgression, an army was given over to the was given over to the horn to oppose the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to he cast truth down to the ground. He did all the ground. He did all this and prospered.this and prospered.””

Meanwhile the Jews will have built their new Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem and started their ancient religion of animal sacrifices for sins.

The AC will then outlaw all religions, except his own, & stop the new Jewish temple sacrifices!

Angels Talk to Each Other & Daniel. 13 “13 “Then I heard a holy one Then I heard a holy one

speaking; and another holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was said to that certain one who was speaking, speaking,

"How long will the vision be, "How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?“trampled underfoot?“

14 “14 “And he said to me, "For two And he said to me, "For two thousand three hundred days; thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be then the sanctuary shall be cleansed." cleansed."

The time period from the start of the daily Jewish sacrifice through the desecration of religions & Temple, at the breaking of the Peace Covenant, until the “host”- the people of God-will be trampled underfoot, will last 2.300 days.

Temple ready for sacrifices 2.300 days before Jesus’ Return

14 “14 “And he said to me, And he said to me, "For two thousand "For two thousand three hundred days; three hundred days; then the sanctuary then the sanctuary shall be cleansed." shall be cleansed."

The time when the construction of the Jewish Temple will be completed to enable the sacrificing to start, will be 2.300 days before the Sanctuary will be finally cleansed, at the coming of Christ!Thus one can safely say that ‘the last 7 years’ 2520 days – 2300 leave just 220 days for constructing the Temple after the signingof the seven year Holy Covenant!The Templeis already prepared in Jerusalem!

15 “15 “Then it happened, Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had when I, Daniel, had seen the vision & was seen the vision & was seeking the meaning, seeking the meaning, that suddenly there that suddenly there stood before me one stood before me one having the appearance having the appearance of a man.of a man.““

Jesus tells Gabriel to make Daniel understand Daniel 8:13,14

16 16 ””And I heard a man's voice And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, Ulai, who called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision." understand the vision."

17 17 ””So he came near where I So he came near where I stood, and when he came I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the that the vision refers to the time of the endtime of the end." ."

18 18 ””Now, as he was speaking Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.and stood me upright.””

It is Jesus who is It is Jesus who is standing on the water standing on the water and orders Gabriel to and orders Gabriel to explain it all to Daniel.explain it all to Daniel.

The vision is for the End Time!The Ram is Medo Persia Daniel 8:18,19,20

19 ”19 ”And he said, "Look, I And he said, "Look, I am making known to am making known to you what shall happen you what shall happen in the latter timein the latter time of the of the indignation; for at the indignation; for at the appointed time appointed time the endthe end shall beshall be..””

20 ”20 ”The ram which you The ram which you saw, having the two saw, having the two horns--they are the horns--they are the kings of kings of MediaMedia and and PersiaPersia..””

Here you see that WE don’t interpret the Bible. The angel does! And very clearly; The ram is Medo Persia!

The Goat is Greece! Alexander the Broken Horn!Daniel 8:21,22

21 ”21 ”And the male And the male goat is the kingdomgoat is the kingdom

of of GreeceGreece. The . The large horn that is large horn that is between its eyes is between its eyes is the the first kingfirst king..””

22 ”22 ”As for the As for the broken horn and broken horn and the four that stood the four that stood up in its place, four up in its place, four kingdoms shall kingdoms shall arise out of that arise out of that nation, but not with nation, but not with its power.its power.””

The angel says that the Goat is Greece and the horns--as we learn from History --are Alexander’s & his 4 generals’ lesser kingdoms.Very simple!

The Rise of the Antichrist! Fierce Face!Daniel 8:23,24

23 23 "And "And in the in the latter timelatter time of of their kingdomtheir kingdom, , when the trans-when the trans-gressors have gressors have reached their reached their fullnessfullness, a king , a king shall arise, having shall arise, having fiercefierce features features, , Who understands Who understands sinistersinister schemes schemes..

In the last days of Alexander’s generals kingdoms, when the World’s people have become the worst ever, then will the Antichrist, who is surely alive today, rise!

He will have a fierce face & understand witchcraft & Satanic schemes or plans. He’ll be totally possessed by Satan, when he breaks the Peace Covenant & sitting in the Jewish Temple will state: “I AM GOD!”

The Antichrist will be All Powerful! Daniel 8:23,24

24 24 ““His power shall His power shall be be mightymighty! But ! But notnot by his by his ownown power. power.

Under Satan’s power he will very much grow in influence! He will destroy many of the mighty holy Children of God!

He shall He shall destroydestroy fearfully fearfully (awfully)

and shall prosper and shall prosper and thrive;and thrive;

He shall destroy the He shall destroy the mighty, and also the mighty, and also the holy peopleholy people..““

Jesus will personally destroy the AC! 2525"Through his cunning "Through his cunning

he shall cause deceit to he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; prosper under his rule;

And he shall exalt And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in shall destroy many in their prosperity. their prosperity.

He shall even rise He shall even rise against the against the Prince of Prince of princesprinces; But ; But hehe shall shall be broken be broken without without human meanshuman means..””

The AC will be super -smart & deceptive & very lifted up in pride!He’ll destroy many people

Because the Antichrist will try to fight Jesus, so Jesus will personally destroy him at the Battle of Armageddon

The Vision Concerns the Far Future! 26 26 "And the vision of the "And the vision of the

evenings and mornings evenings and mornings which was told is which was told is truetrue; ;

Therefore Therefore seal up the seal up the visionvision, for it refers to , for it refers to many days in the many days in the futurefuture." ."

27 ”27 ”And I, Daniel, fainted And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; and was sick for days; afterward I arose and afterward I arose and went about the king's went about the king's business. I was business. I was astonished by the vision, astonished by the vision, but no one understood but no one understood it.it.””

Gabriel tells Daniel to “seal up the vision” for “many days in the future!” Getting visions is hard on your body. Daniel “fainted & was sick for days!”

No one No one under-under-stood the stood the vision vision thenthen! ! But now But now many of many of us us dodo! ! We hope We hope you do you do too!too!
