Daniel 8:13

13 Y oí un santo que hablaba; y otro de los santos dijo a aquel que hablaba: ¿Hasta cuándo durará la visión del continuo sacrificio, y la prevaricación asoladora que pone el santuario y el ejército para ser hollado

Daniel 8:13 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 8:13

Then I heard one saint speaking
An angel, either a created angel, pure and holy in his nature, as Gabriel; or the uncreated Angel Jesus Christ, the Word of God; what he was speaking of is not said; perhaps Daniel did not hear what he said, though he heard him speaking, or perceived that he spake; yet did not understand what he said, or what was the subject of his discourse; very probably it was something relative to the vision now seen: and another saint said unto that certain saint that spake;
another angel said to him that spake, whose name is unknown, only called such an one, or Palmoni, which some render "the wonderful numberer"; or, "the numberer of secrets", or "that has all secrets numbered" ^F7; and apply it to Christ, whose name is "Pele", wonderful; the eternal Word of God, that is in the bosom of the Father, and knows all secrets, and the number of times and seasons, how long they will last; what created angels know not, he does; and therefore they apply to him for instruction and knowledge in hidden things: 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 underfoot?
that is, how long will this vision last? or when will this prophecy be at an end, and have its full and final accomplishment? how long will the sacrifice be taken away, or made to cease? how long will that transgression, that abomination, making the temple desolate, the image of Jupiter Olympius set up by Antiochus, continue in it? how long shall it be given to him, or he be permitted to tread under foot, and use in the most contemptuous manner, the temple of the Lord, and his people?

Daniel 8:13 In-Context

11 Hasta contra el príncipe del ejército se engrandeció, y por él fue quitado el continuo sacrificio, y el lugar de su santuario fue echado a tierra

12 Y el ejército fue entregado a causa de la prevaricación sobre el continuo sacrificio; y echó por tierra la Verdad, e hizo cuanto quiso, y le sucedió prósperamente

13 Y oí un santo que hablaba; y otro de los santos dijo a aquel que hablaba: ¿Hasta cuándo durará la visión del continuo sacrificio, y la prevaricación asoladora que pone el santuario y el ejército para ser hollado

14 Y él me dijo: Hasta dos mil trescientos días de tarde y mañana; y el santuario será justificado

15 Y acaeció que estando yo Daniel considerando la visión, y buscando su entendimiento, he aquí, como una semejanza de hombre se puso delante de mí
