Daniel 8:9-14

⁹And then from one of these big horns another horn sprouted. It started small, but then grew to an enormous size, facing south and east--toward lovely Palestine.

¹⁰The horn grew tall, reaching to the stars, the heavenly army, and threw some of the stars to the earth and stomped on them.

¹¹It even dared to challenge the power of God, Prince of the Celestial Army! And then it threw out daily worship and desecrated the Sanctuary.

¹²As judgment against their sin, the holy people of God got the same treatment as the daily worship. The horn cast God''s Truth aside. High-handed, it took over everything and everyone.

¹³"Then I overheard two holy angels talking. One asked, "How long is what we see here going to last--the abolishing of daily worship, this devastating judgment against sin, the kicking around of God''s holy people and the Sanctuary?''

¹⁴"The other answered, "Over the course of 2,300 sacrifices, evening and morning. Then the Sanctuary will be set right again.'' [JC]a
