Daniel 8:10-14
8:10 It grew so big it reached the army
of heaven, and it brought about the fall of some of the army and some of the stars
to the ground, where it trampled them.
8:11 It also acted arrogantly against the Prince of the army,
from whom
the daily sacrifice was removed and whose sanctuary
was thrown down.
8:12 The army was given over,
along with the daily sacrifice, in the course of his sinful rebellion.
It hurled
truth
to the ground and enjoyed success.
8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking. Another holy one said to the one who was speaking, “To what period of time does the vision pertain – this vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the destructive act of rebellion and the giving over of both the sanctuary and army to be trampled?”
8:14 He said to me, “To 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be put right again.”
Daniel 8:23-25
8:23 Toward the end of their rule, when rebellious acts
are complete, a rash
and deceitful
king will arise.
8:24 His power will be great, but it will not be by his strength alone. He will cause terrible destruction.
He will be successful in what he undertakes.
He will destroy powerful people and the people of the holy ones.
8:25 By his treachery
he will succeed through deceit.
He will have an arrogant attitude,
and he will destroy many who are unaware of his schemes.
He will rise up against the Prince of princes, yet he will be broken apart – but not by human agency.
