Daniel 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 8:10

And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven
The people of the Jews, the army of the living God, the church militant, among whom were many of the citizens of heaven, whose names are written there; such was the insolence of this king, as to molest and disturb them: and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and
stamped them;
some of the common people he persecuted and destroyed, or prevailed upon them, either by threats or flatteries, to relinquish their religion; and even some of the "stars", the lights of the people, the priests and Levites, that ministered unto them; or the princes, and elders of the people, whom he slew, as Jacchiades interprets it; or removed from their posts so that they could not do their office; or they turned apostates; and those that did not he barbarously put to death, and insulted over them, and used them in a very contemptuous manner, as old Eleazar, the mother and her seven sons; see 2 Maccabees chapter 7.

Daniel 8:10 In-Context

8 El macho cabr铆o se engrandeci贸 sobremanera, pero en cuanto lleg贸 a ser poderoso, el gran cuerno se le rompi贸, y en su lugar le salieron cuatro cuernos prominentes hacia los cuatro vientos del cielo.
9 Y de uno de ellos sali贸 un cuerno peque帽o, que creci贸 mucho hacia el sur, hacia el oriente y hacia la Tierra Hermosa .
10 Creci贸 hasta el ej茅rcito del cielo, e hizo caer a la tierra parte del ej茅rcito y de las estrellas, y las pisote贸.
11 Se engrandeci贸 hasta igualarse con el Jefe del ej茅rcito, le quit贸 su sacrificio continuo y fue derribado el lugar de su santuario.
12 Y el ej茅rcito ser谩 entregado al cuerno junto con el sacrificio continuo a causa de la transgresi贸n; arrojar谩 por tierra la verdad y har谩 su voluntad y prosperar谩.
