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 禄El macho cabr铆o cobr贸 gran fuerza, pero en el momento de su mayor grandeza se le rompi贸 el cuerno m谩s largo, y en su lugar brotaron cuatro grandes cuernos que se alzaron contra los cuatro vientos del cielo.
9 De uno de ellos sali贸 otro cuerno, peque帽o al principio, que extendi贸 su poder hacia el sur y hacia el este, y tambi茅n hacia nuestra hermosa tierra.
10 Creci贸 hasta alcanzar al ej茅rcito de los cielos, derrib贸 algunas estrellas y las pisote贸,
11 y aun lleg贸 a sentirse m谩s importante que el jefe del ej茅rcito de los cielos. Por causa de 茅l se elimin贸 el sacrificio diario y se profan贸 el santuario.
12 Por la rebeld铆a de nuestro pueblo, su ej茅rcito ech贸 por tierra la verdad y quit贸 el sacrificio diario. En fin, ese cuerno hizo y deshizo.
