I'll give my opinion and disappear again.
Dan 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn (Not the little horn of Dan 7:8), which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant
land.
Dan 8:11 Yea, he magnified
himself even to the prince of the host, and
by him the daily sacrifice was taken away (Dan 12:11), and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Soon after the beast makes a covenant with many possibly to reestablish the sacrifice taken away for one week the False Prophet took fro them only to break it in the middle of the week (Dan 9:27).
Dan 8:12 And an host was given
him against the daily
sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Dan 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain
saint which spake, How long
shall be the vision
concerning the daily
sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Dan 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Dan 8:25 And through his policy also
he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify
himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Surely he cannot be antichrist too, can he? Let's ask
reba.)
