Notes

Daniel 8:11–12

God commands heaven’s army (compare Joshua 5:13–15; 1 Samuel 4:4; 1 Kings 22:19). Daily sacrifices were offered to God in his temple, where his name dwelled, and Israel worshiped their King (Isaiah 18:7; Ezekiel 43:6–7).
overthrew: The religious function of the temple was stopped.
God restrained the heavenly army for reasons only he knows.
The truth of God’s law, shown in true worship, was also overthrown (literally cast down).

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.
