Notes

Daniel 8:10

The heavenly army might mean either:

  1. actual divine beings, because the "small horn" tried to destroy Israel's religion, which God protected with His watchful eye and armies; and/or

  2. the human defenders of Israel who fought for God's holy people and the temple. These events affected both the physical and spiritual realms.

Daniel 8:5–12

Daniel 8:21–25 explains the symbolism.

Daniel 8:1–27

This vision builds on the vision in Daniel 7, developing additional symbolism regarding the second and third beasts (Daniel 7:5–6). It describes a small horn that comes from the goat, similar to the "little horn" in Daniel 7:8, 20–25; the "prince" in 9:26–27; and the "despicable person" in 11:21–45.
