Context — Daniel’s Vision of the Ram and the Goat
9From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
10It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth and trampled them.
11It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.
12And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and it flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did. 13Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”Cross References

He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.” Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city. They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands. In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer, and the LORD sent an angel who annihilated every mighty man of valor and every leader and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria.

Daniel 8:11 Summary
This verse, Daniel 8:11, describes a powerful and evil leader, the little horn, who opposes God and His people, and seeks to elevate himself above the Prince of the host. This leader removes the daily sacrifice and overthrows the place of God's sanctuary, signifying a direct attack on God's worship and people, similar to the desecration of the temple in 1 Maccabees 1:54. In simple terms, this means that the little horn is trying to take God's place and stop people from worshiping Him, as warned in Romans 1:25 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4. As believers, we can learn from this verse to be vigilant against the influences of evil and to stand firm in our faith, as encouraged in 1 Corinthians 16:13 and Ephesians 6:10-18, and to trust in God's power and judgment, as seen in Revelation 19:20.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the little horn to magnify itself to the Prince of the host?
This refers to the little horn's attempt to exalt itself above God, the Prince of the host, as described in Daniel 8:11, and is reminiscent of Satan's rebellion in Isaiah 14:13-14, where he sought to elevate his throne above the stars of God.
What is the daily sacrifice that was removed by the little horn?
The daily sacrifice refers to the regular offering made to God in the temple, as described in Exodus 29:38-42, and its removal signifies the little horn's opposition to God's worship and people, much like the desecration of the temple in Daniel 9:27.
What is the significance of the little horn overthrowing the place of God's sanctuary?
This act represents a direct attack on God's holy place and His people, similar to the desecration of the temple by Antiochus Epiphanes in 1 Maccabees 1:54, and is a fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel 8:11, highlighting the little horn's blasphemous nature and its attempt to supplant God's authority.
How does this verse relate to the end times?
The events described in Daniel 8:11 are often seen as a precursor to the end times, as they describe a powerful and blasphemous leader who opposes God and His people, similar to the Antichrist in 1 John 2:18 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, and will ultimately be defeated by God's power and judgment, as seen in Revelation 19:20.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can be alert to the subtle influences of evil in my own life, and how can I ensure that I am not being deceived by the enemy, as warned in 1 Peter 5:8?
- How can I cultivate a deeper reverence for God and His sanctuary, and what does this mean for my daily worship and walk with Him, as described in Hebrews 10:25 and Psalm 95:6-7?
- In what ways can I be a faithful witness for God in a world that often opposes Him, and how can I stand firm in my faith, as encouraged in 1 Corinthians 16:13 and Ephesians 6:10-18?
- What are some practical ways that I can support and pray for believers who are facing persecution or opposition, and how can I be an encouragement to them, as seen in Hebrews 13:3 and Galatians 6:2?
Gill's Exposition on Daniel 8:11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince host,.... Either the high priest Onias, whom he disposed of his office, and put Jason a wicked man into it; or Judas Maccabeus, the prince of the Jewish
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 8:11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 8:11
Even to the prince of the host; not only against the high priest Onias, whom he put from his priesthood, and sold the high priesthood, /APC 2Mac 4, but against God himself, which showed his daring insolence, and God’ s patience and permission, for the sins of his people. By him the daily sacrifice was taken away; for he so persecuted the people of God, that he forced them to omit the worship of God. The place of his sanctuary was cast down; he took away the use of the temple as to the holy service and sacrifices, commanding that it should not be called the temple of God, but of Jupiter Olympus, whose image he set up in it, and gave the priesthood to wicked men, as Jason and Menelaus.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 8:11
Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.Ver. 11. Yea, he magnified himself.] He extolled or extended himself, such was his insolence. Even to (or against) the prince of the host.] Christ, the captain of his people’ s sufferings, and of their salvation. He bare a hostile spirit against the God of the Jews - such a hell hound hardly ever was born - casting him out of his place, and setting up in his room Jupiter Olympus - that is, the devil; he defaced also and burned up the books of the law, all he could light on.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 8:11
(11) Prince of the host—i.e., Jehovah Himself. (Comp. Daniel 8:25, Daniel 11:36.) The daily—i.e., everything permanent in the worship of God, such as sacrifices, &c. (See Note on Leviticus 6:13.) On this conduct of Antiochus see 1Ma 1:39; 1Ma 1:45, &c., 1Ma 3:45. Place of his sanctuary—i.e., the Temple. (Comp. 1 Kings 8:13.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 8:11
Verse 11. Even to the prince of the host] They seemed, in this case, to fight against God himself. The daily sacrifice was taken away] By the destruction of the city and temple; and has never been restored from that day until now.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 8:11
11. And even unto the prince of the host it magnified itself] it not only mounted to the stars, but in impious defiance it shewed greatness (Daniel 8:4; Daniel 8:25), i.e. continued its acts of pride and presumption, even to the throne of the prince of the host, i.e. of God himself. and it took away from him (i.e. from the prince of the host) the continual (burnt-offering)] So the Heb. text (K’tib): the Heb. marg. (Qrκ) has, and by it the continual (burnt-offering) was taken away. The allusion is to Antiochus’ suspension of the temple-services for three years (1Ma 1:45; 1Ma 1:59; 1Ma 4:52 f.); see further on Daniel 11:31. The daily burnt-offering is called in Exodus 29:42 and elsewhere the ‘continual (i.e. daily recurring) burnt-offering,’ lit. ‘the burnt-offering of continuance (Heb. tβmξd)’: from this expression, the daily burnt-offering came in later Heb. to be spoken of simply as ‘the tβmξd’; and this usage is found here, and in Daniel 8:12-13, Daniel 11:31, Daniel 12:11. It does not occur elsewhere in the O.T., but it is common in the Mishna, &c., where the word is even used in the plural, ‘the tβmξds’ (ϊξιγιο). and the place of his sanctuary was cast down] or, by a change of points, which has the effect of improving the sentence, and cast down the place, &c. The Temple does not seem to have been literally ‘cast down’ by Antiochus: but it suffered severely at his hands: its sacred vessels were carried away (1Ma 1:21-23); the sanctuary is described as being ‘laid waste like a wilderness (8:39), and ‘trampled down (καταπατούμενον)’ (1Ma 3:45); and in 1Ma 4:38 we read that when Judas and his brethren went up to mount Zion for the purpose of re-dedicating it, they ‘saw the sanctuary laid desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the court as in a forest or in one of the mountains, and the priests’ chambers pulled down’ (cf. 8:48, ‘and they built the holy place (τὰἅγια), and the inner parts of the house’). place] not the usual word, but a rarer word, chiefly poetical, and meaning properly fixed or established place, used mostly of God’s abode, whether on earth, Exodus 15:17, 1 Kings 8:13, or in heaven, Isaiah 18:4, 1 Kings 8:39; 1 Kings 8:43; 1 Kings 8:49, Psalms 33:14, al.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 8:11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host - Grotius, Ephraem the Syrian, and others, understand this of Onias the high priest, as the chief officer of the holy people. Lengerke supposes that it means God himself.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 8:11
11, 12. The R.V. translates these difficult verses: “Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
