The Daily
Dan 8:11
Yea, he(feminine) 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.
‘He’ feminine gender is changed from the masculine “The little horn”. That transition is from Pagan to Papal Rome.
Who magnifies himself?
“Magnified” # 1431 – ‘gadal’
A primitive root; properly to twist (compare H1434), that is, to be (causatively make) large (in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride): - advance, boast, bring up, exceed, excellent, be (-come, do, give, make, wax), great (-er, come to . . estate, + things), grow (up), increase, lift up, magnify (-ifical), be much set by, nourish (up), pass, promote, proudly [spoken], tower.
The verb expresses the idea that the “Little horn” illegally usurped the prerogatives that belong to the “Prince of the host”
Who is this power – “broken without hand”?
Daniel 8: 25 clearly defines who the power is.
Daniel 2: 44,45, 2 Thes 2:8 – The Papacy
“The prince of the host” – Christ
“The Prince” # 8269 - sar
From H8323; a head person (of any rank or class): - captain (that had rule), chief (captain), general, governor, keeper, lord, ([-task-]) master, prince (-ipal), ruler, steward.
Joshua 5:14,15 – “The prince of the host of Yahweh”
Daniel 12:1 – Michael is “the great Prince”
In Jude 9 Michael is identified with Christ.
“By him” should be read “From him”
“By” # 4480 – mimmennu – should be translated “From”.
“The Hebrew expression ‘mimemennu’ is not to be translated “by him” but “from him.” Who is the antecedent of him? Grammatically , the nearest and most natural antecedent is ‘ the Prince of the host.’ This is supported in the ancient versions.” BRI 404.
The Scriptures define the daily.
The correct meaning of the daily : “daily” # 8548 - tamid
From an unused root meaning to stretch; properly continuance (as indefinite extension); but used only (attributively as adjective) constant (or adverbially constantly); elliptically the regular (daily) sacrifice: - alway (-s), continual (employment, -ly), daily, ([n-]) ever (-more), perpetual.
Old Testament
Exodus 25: 30 – alway
Exodus 27: 20, 21 – always
Exodus 28:38 – continually
Exodus29:42 – continual
Exodus30:8 – perpetual
New Testament
Hebrew7:3 - continually
Hebrew7:27 – daily
Hebrew9:6 – always
Hebrew10:1 – continually
Hebrew10:11 – daily
“daily” – “tamid” in Hebrew. The word ‘tamid’ is used 17 times in Number 28 and 29, referring to the continual service in the Sanctuary.
The 'daily' is the Christ's priestly Ministry in the heavenly sanctuary.
“daily’ does not mean Paganism.
In Daniel 8, Christ is pictured as Priest.
In Daniel 9, Christ is pictured as Messiah.
“Taken away” # H7311 – Rum
‘Rum’ literally means ‘take away.’ (to remove something)
“Taken away” # 7311 – rum

Place” # H4349
The Bible defines the ‘place’ for us.
2Ch 6:30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:
We see from these verses that the ‘place’ referred to is where prayers are heard and sins are forgiven i.e. the heavenly Sanctuary..
We find in Psalm 104:5 the only instance where makon is not employed in reference to the Sanctuary.
Seven times makon is used for the designation of God’s “place of dwelling”
39" class="scriptRef">1 Kings 8: 39, 43, 49; 2 Chro 6: 2, 30, 33, 39. These texts show that God’s “place of dwelling” is in heaven.
MIGDASH, MAKON, MAGOM:
The “Sanctuary” is God’s Sanctuary.
“Sanctuary” # H4720 - migdas
Exo 15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place,(H#4349 - makon) O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in,in the Sanctuary,(H#4720 - migdas) O Lord, which thy hands have established.
place,4349 – makon
Sanctuary,4720 – migdash
Exo 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Exo 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
The Bible says that our God dwells in the migdash of the earthly Sanctuary.
Migdash may refer to God’s Sanctuary/ temple in the earth specially on the great day of atonement.
It is true that migdash can refer to a sanctuary of Satan, while qodesh solely refers to the sanctuary of God.
