Daniel 8:10

10It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them.

10It grew up to the heavenly 8:10 Lit hostlights, and some of the 8:10 Lit hostlights, 8:10 Or and some of the starsthat is, some of the stars it threw down to the earth, and it trampled them.

10It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down.

10And [in my vision] this 8:10 This horn of vv 9-12 is not to be confused with the “little horn” of 7:8. The near fulfillment of the prophecy most likely pertains to Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who came out of one of the four dynasties (the Seleucid Empire) into which Alexander’s empire was divided, and became a great conqueror, ruling from 175-164 b.c. Hating God, he profaned the temple, persecuted God’s people, the Jews (represented in this passage by “host” and “stars”) and attempted to destroy the Jewish faith (see note 11:21). The far fulfillment of the prophecy in vv 23-25 most likely pertains to the Antichrist and the period of tribulation (Rev 13:4-9).horn grew up to the host of heaven, and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled on them.

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.

10It grew until it reached the stars in the sky. It threw some of them down to the earth. And it stomped on them.
