INTRODUCTION  

Before going into our study for today, which will reveal more details about the Little Horn, let's quickly review what we had learned in our last study of Daniel 8:10 and 23. It was all about the Little Horn, who we learned is the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST (also called the Man of Sin , the Beast , the Abomination of Desolation, and even the Son of Perdition), yes, Satan, the devil himself, who had been prophesied to come and did already come on May 21,1988, contrary to the multitude of false teachers, pastors, evangelists, and prophets, to be established in place of the true Christ and Holy Spirit as the king in the corporate Christian Church, which all Christian churches are part of, as God's Judgment against them all, for His Final Judgment on this earth [had to] begin at the House of God (1Peter 4:17). 

Now, in our last study, we first looked at Daniel 8:23, which increased our understanding of this so-called Little Horn . There, we learned that, in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors [had] come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, [stood up]. The phrase, in the latter time of their kingdom , we learned pointed to the Latter Days, or that time of the final days which began on May 21,1988, when the transgressions or sins of the Christian Church and the world had come to the full maximum limit of what God would any longer tolerate before beginning His Final Judgment, first, at the House of God, and then on the whole world. It was at that time when a king of fierce countenance , which we had learned meant, a king of strong or powerful spiritual presence) stood up (was established) in the corporate Christian Church. That king, of course, is the Little Horn who, as we already stated, is the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist (also called the Man of Sin, the Beast, and the Abomination of Desolation), Satan himself, who was then given rule in the Christian Church to begin God's Judgment and the Great Tribulation at the House of God (1Peter 4:17). And that this Little Horn was said to be understanding dark sentences , we had learned, means he understands the difficult to understand parables and so deeper truths of the Bible, which has allowed him to be the ultimate and great deceiver of the whole Christian Church, especially in those deeper truths of the Bible for these Latter Days of the end-times, which we have been in ever since the Church Age spiritually came to an end and God's Final Judgment on the world began, first, at the whole House of God on May 21,1988, and then expanded to include the whole world on May 21,2011 according to the quite accurate , Biblical Timeline of History .  

From there, we proceeded to look at verse 10 of Daniel 8, where we read, 

10 And it [the Little Horn] waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground and stamped upon them . 

Where we read, And it [the Little Horn] waxed great, even to the host of heaven , we discovered meant that this Little Horn , who is the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST , Satan himself, became great to the degree and place of the very true people or armies of God [ the host of heaven ] in the corporate Christian Church, which means the devil became great as the king (from verse 23) of the whole Christian Church, to take the place of the true Holy Spirit who left the Christian Church beginning on May 21,1988, for Judgment [had to] begin at the House of God (1Peter 4:17). 

Furthermore, where we read, and it [the Little Horn] cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground and stamped upon them , we found meant that this Little Horn , the counterfeit Christ and Antichrist (also called the Man of Sin, the Beast, and the Abomination of Desolation), the very devil himself, spiritually killed (silenced - Revelation 11:7-10 ), overcame ( Revelation 13:7 ), and cast down some of God's true people ( some of the host, even of the stars ) to the earth (the devil cast down God's true people in the Christian churches) during the Great Tribulation of God's Final Judgment on His Church that began on May 21,1988 and ended on May 21,2011 when the many days of Judgment Day began. Ever since then, God continues to bring His Judgment against the whole corporate Christian Church, but He has expanded that Judgment to include the whole world as well, with no more possibility for true salvation anywhere any longer possible, not anywhere in the whole Christian Church; nor in the whole world. Yes, in so far as God and eternity are concerned, the end already came on May 21,2011, because all the remnant who would ever live eternally in the new heaven and earth were already by then set in stone (Jesus Christ). All the billions of the rest, both in the graves and still in this world, will be brought forth on the Last Day to be cast into the Lake of Fire forever, which will be when the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat (2Peter 3:10-12). Well, with that being a quick review of our last study, let's move onto today's study of Daniel 8:11, where we read, 

11 Yea, he [the Little Horn] 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 . 

Where the first part of this verse says, Yea, he [the Little Horn] magnified himself even to the prince of the host , it means that this Little Horn magnified himself [ made himself great] even to [to the degree and place of] the prince of the host . And, spiritually, who is the prince of the host (the chief of the armies or true people of God)? The answer to this question is so easy for most, I am not going to waste any time on it. All of us who were saved by May 21,2011 already know that the prince of the armies, the true people of God, is Jesus Christ. Of course, if you can only see the literal or Old Covenant meaning or application of these verses like far too many so-called Christians can only see because they have not the Spirit of God, or they have been taught incorrectly, and so are unable to perceive that the literal history of the Old Testament was but only a type or foreshadow (what we have come to call a historical parable) of things that would take place in the New Covenant, then you might be satisfied in thinking that the prince of the host in this verse only refers to the Old Covenant Yahweh, and that the host of Yahweh only refers to the ancient Israelites in and around Jerusalem during the 2nd century BC. But, ever since our last study, we have moved on from any longer focusing on the earthly type or foreshadow of things onto maturity to see the heavenly mature things: the ultimate spiritual meaning or application of the Old Covenant that is being fulfilled in the New Covenant. To begin to grasp these things, one must have been born from above by the Holy Spirit in salvation through Jesus Christ by May 21,2011, and he must have learned to compare scripture with scripture , spiritual things with spiritual (1Corinthians 2:13), by looking up each word, phrase, sentence, or written account of the Bible with the help of a concordance or computer program such as The Online Bible , and let the Bible alone define any word, phrase, sentence, or written account therein. That is, let God Himself define what He means in all His historical parables and symbolism found throughout the Bible by comparing scripture with scripture, and looking for the spiritual meaning as interpreted by God Himself, the word of God. If all you ever do is just read the Bible like any other book, you are likely still at the elementary school level or below that even in bible education, which, sadly, is where most so-called Christians are at today who reside in the Christian churches of our day. As Hosea 4:6-10 today speaks to all who have not departed out from the Christian Church in obedience to Christ. He declares, 

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children .
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore, will I change their glory into shame. 
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity .
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD .

O Yes, that passage did not just apply to ancient Israel but, as a whole, the nation of Israel during the Old Covenant was a foreshadow or type of the New Testament Church, which was to and did come in the New Covenant. Therefore, just as God physically destroyed ancient Israel, first, by the Assyrians in 709 BC and then by the Babylonians in 587 BC, so He has today been spiritually destroying the whole Christian Church ever since the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist, the devil himself was given to rule in the corporate Christian Church as judgment against them all for their sins beginning on May 21,1988 and to when they were all spiritually destroyed by September 7,1994 when the Latter Rain began. And Satan has been permitted by God to continue ruling over all the Christian churches even to this very day. Why? We read in Revelation 18:5-11, 

5 For her sins [had] reached unto heaven, and God [had] remembered her iniquities .
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double . 
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow .
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day [during the Day of Judgment that began on May 21,2011], death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her . 
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour [during the Great Tribulation period from May 21,1988 to May 21,2011] is thy judgment come. 
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more ... 

Well, before we diverge too far from our verse of study, let's now return to it .  

Okay, we all know the prince of the host is Jesus Christ. But what does it mean that Yea, he [the Little Horn] magnified himself even to the prince of the host ? In our last study of the previous verse 10, we already learned that the word translated as to in the sentence, and it [the Little Horn] waxed great even to the host of heaven meant that the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, Satan himself became great even to the degree and place of the very people of God. That is, Satan became great even to rule over God's people in the corporate Christian Church, which means that the devil became great even to rule over God's people in all the Christian churches worldwide. And, as it was also this same word in verse 10 that was translated as to in the sentence of our current verse 11, Yea, he [the Little Horn] magnified himself even to the prince of the host , it must mean that this counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist (also called the Man of Sin, the Beast, and the Abomination of Desolation), namely the devil himself, made himself great even to the degree and place of Jesus Christ Himself. That is, the devil made himself great even to the degree of making himself God in the place of Jesus Christ. That is, Satan made himself to be God in the corporate Christian Church during the Great Tribulation of God's Judgment against the Church from May 21,1988 to when the many days of Judgment Day began on May 21,2011, and even to this very day, as God continues to bring double punishment ( Revelation 18:6 ) against the Christian Church, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH ( Revelation 17:5 ). And that the time would come when Satan would rule in the corporate Christian Temple or Church is exactly what we also learn in 2Thessalonians 2:2-5, which states,

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [the day of Christ's appearing] shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin [the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST , the devil himself] be revealed, the son of perdition ;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth [rules] in the temple of God [the corporate Christian Church], shewing himself that he is God . 
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things ? 

So, when the first sentence of our verse 11 states, Yea, he [the Little Horn] magnified himself even to the prince of the host , we have learned, once again, as we have seen in many passages in our studies of the Bible, that ever since Satan was released from the pit in which he had been bound by Christ ever since the time of the cross, to finally be used by God to begin His final judgment on the world by first bringing that judgment at the very House of God beginning on May 21,1988, and then on the whole world beginning on May 21,2011, Satan ( the Little Horn ) has been ruling over the whole Christian Church in the place of Jesus Christ. He has been the perfect counterfeit Christ and ANITICHRIST (also called the Man of Sin, the Beast, the Son of Perdition, and the Abomination of Desolation). Yea, he has magnified himself to the very place where the people of God once resided, the corporate Christian Church, and to the degree of Jesus Christ. As we previously read and will now state, once again, because it is so important to realize these things during these Latter Days in which we now find ourselves: who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth [rules] in the temple of God [the corporate Christian Church], shewing himself that he is God .  

Now, our verse 11 continues by saying, and by him [the Little Horn], the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down . The place of his sanctuary obviously refers to the whole corporate Christian Temple or Church, and as this scripture says, it was cast down . Since the corporate Christian Church, which has been cast down, includes all Christian churches, we are being told that all Christian churches were cast down. And remember, this is spiritual language and so refers to the spiritual destruction of the whole Christian Church, not the physical destruction. For instance, it is the spiritual destruction of your local Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Pentecostal, Community, Reformed, Catholic; and yes, all other Christian churches worldwide. There are no exceptions! God has given all Christian churches over to the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST (called the Little Horn ), the devil himself, for the spiritual casting down of them all, which, as we have learned, began on May 21,1988 and was completed by September 7, 1994 of the Great Tribulation, the result of which continues even to this very day with the devil himself still being permitted to rule over them in complete deception. We, the Eternal Church, on the other hand, have long since departed out from all the Christian churches to obey the true Christ in declaring His Final Judgment both against the corporate Christian Church and the whole world. We, His Elect, will never be spiritually and eternally destroyed, but we are being used by our Lord Jesus Christ to bring His message of complete judgment both against the whole corporate Christian Church and the entire world, as Christ exposes the ever increasing, great sins of the people in Satan's kingdom, and then eliminates them all forever on the Last Day in the soon to come Lake of Fire that will burn up the temporal, outward garment of this earth and replace it with an eternal garment to make it the new earth in which righteousness only will dwell.  

But now, looking further into our verse 11, not only did the Little Horn (Satan) spiritually cast down the whole corporate Christian Church by having been granted and gaining rule over them all, but we read, by him the daily sacrifice was taken away . To begin to understand this sentence of our verse 11, we, first, must recognize that the word sacrifice in the sentence, by him the daily sacrifice was taken away , does not exist in the original Hebrew text. Instead, our verse simple reads, by him the daily [literally, the continual or the perpetual ] was taken away . It is just assumed that God's people would understand or realize what this continual or perpetual refers to. And, of course, to begin to understand just what the continual or the perpetual is, we must see how the word is used in other places of the Bible. To this end, the one Hebrew word (transliterated, hetamiyd) translated by the two words the daily in the sentence, by him the daily sacrifice was taken away , is only found 24 times in the Old Testament (according to a search done by the Interlinear Scripture Analyzer ). That is, this one Hebrew word transliterated as he-tamiyd (pronounced he-taw-meed), which translates as the daily (literally, the continual or the perpetual ) is found only 24 times in holy scripture. Every time, except for one, this Hebrew word transliterated as hetamiyd and translated as the continual or the perpetual refers to the daily sacrifices or offerings (only once does it refer to the daily showbread that was to be kept perpetually or continually on the table of showbread within the Holy Place of the sanctuary (Numbers 4:7). It is never used to refer to the continual burning or light of the lampstand in the Holy Place, which, if I remember correctly, is how Mr. Camping had viewed it. Therefore, the translators of the authorized version of the King James Bible did a good job to translate it like they did, which is, once again, like this: by him [the Little Horn] the daily sacrifice was taken away . It may, though, have been better to have translated it, by him [the Little Horn] the daily sacrifices [plural] were taken away since there was not just one single sacrifice in a day but multiple sacrifices or offerings both in the morning and the evening, and additional ones to these on a new moon day, a feast day, and sabbath days. But this will make no difference to our spiritual understanding of things, so we will discuss it no further. 

And now, we ask the question, what does it mean by him [the Little Horn] the daily sacrifices [plural] were taken away ? Well, most everyone already know that the Old Testament sacrifices of animals foreshadowed and pointed to the once and for all sacrifice of Jesus Christ when He came to earth to suffer and die on the cross and then be resurrected to eternally save all His people from their sins by their new spiritual births into Christ Jesus at some point during their lives. Without that sacrifice, none of us could have been eternally saved. So, spiritually, if the daily sacrifices were taken away , which all pointed to and represented the final one sacrifice of Christ by which we are saved through the forgiveness of sins and resurrection to eternal life, we are clearly being told that eternal salvation became no longer possible due to the Little Horn . Why? Because with the sacrifice of Christ having been removed or taken away, as the scripture declares, there would no longer be any payment for sin, and so eternal forgiveness would no longer be possible. And, since the spiritual meaning or application of our verse applies to the corporate Christian Church beginning on May 21,1988 when the Little Horn (the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, the Man of Sin), Satan himself, was given his seat of rule in the Christian Church as the perfect counterfeit Christ in the place of the true Christ, as God's Judgment against them all, to begin the spiritual Great Tribulation of the Bible, for judgment [had to] begin at the House of God (1Peter 4:17), salvation in the whole corporate Christian Church and the whole world became no longer possible beginning on May 21,1988 to begin the Great Tribulation. Fortunately, because God still had many of His Elect to save out in the world and outside of any church at that time, that time period of the Great Tribulation, which began on May 21,1988 when no one could any longer be eternally saved due to the daily sacrifice (Jesus Christ) having been taken away (the Holy Spirit who applies the sacrifice of Christ to one's heart was removed in the Church) and replaced by the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist and devil himself, was shortened to September 7,1994 when the Latter Rain began and the Great Multitude of Revelation 7 was saved outside of and away from the whole corporate Christian Church through ministries and people not under the authority of any Christian church, for God had entirely forsaken the whole corporate Christian Church, even to this very day.

We read about God having shortened this time during the Great Tribulation in which salvation was made no longer possible in Mark 13 where we read,  

19 For in those days shall be affliction [Great tribulation], such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be .
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days . 

And again, we read in Matthew 24,  

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be [never before was there a time in which God did no longer save as would have been from May 21,1988 to May 21,2011].
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened .  

Yes, that aspect of the Great Tribulation, which began on May 21,1988 to do with no more salvation would have continued to May 21,2011, but for the elect's sake (there was more of the elect yet to be saved in the world), it was shortened to September 7, 1994, after which God did then save all the elect before the many days of Judgment Day began on May 21,2011 and so salvation came to an end forevermore because it was now the Day of Judgment and no longer the Day of Salvation, which by definition meant that eternal salvation came to an end forever in this world. 


SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 

So, in our study of Daniel 8:11, we learned that he [the Little Horn] magnified himself even to the prince of the host . This, we discovered, meant that beginning on May 21,1988, when judgment began at the House of God and the Great Tribulation began, the Little Horn who is the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST (also called the Man of Sin, the Beast, and the Abomination of Desolation), Satan himself, magnified himself ( made himself great) even to the place and degree of Jesus Christ, who is the prince of the host , namely the chief of the armies or true people of God. In fact, the devil replaced the true Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ in the whole corporate Christian Church, which included all Christian churches, without them even knowing it. God permitted this and, in fact, brought it about to bring His Final Judgment on the world, first, at the House of God, for Judgment [had to] begin at the House of God (1Peter 4:17). The result of Satan ruling over the Christian Church was its spiritual destruction by false gospels or Christs, and by the great deception of the Antichrist, the devil himself, and so our verse states, and the place of his sanctuary [the whole Christian Church] was cast down . The Eternal Church, God's true elect, on the other hand, followed the Holy Spirit and Christ to depart out from all the Christian churches by May 21,2011, and so their lives have been being spared outside from any Christian church. They have been being made ready as a bride for her husband, without spot or blemish, outside of any church. Those who have remained in a Christian church have already been deceived, and they are all worshipping the devil who now rules over them without even realizing it. The whole thing makes us weep beyond measure, especially with earthly family members and friends involved in Satan's great deception over the Church, while God also feeds them a strong delusion that they believe a lie (2Thessalonians 2:11). 

Finally, we were told that by him [the Little Horn ] the daily sacrifices [plural] were taken away . This is the saddest thing of all! Spiritually, it means that due to the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST (also called the Man of Sin, the Beast, and the Abomination of desolation), the devil himself, the sacrifice of the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, Jesus Christ, which the Old Testament animal sacrifices pointed to and foreshadowed, was taken away . And, spiritually, with no more sacrifice for sins, there could then be no more eternal forgiveness and salvation. Fortunately, that Great Tribulation period of no more salvation both in the Church and the world, which began on May 21,1988 and was, at that time, set to end on May 21,2011 when eternal salvation would end everywhere forever, was shortened to end on September 7,1994 instead, because there were still more of God's elect out in the world apart from the Christian Church that had yet to be saved. Therefore, from September 7,1994 to when the many days of Judgment Day began on May 21,2011, the Latter Rain came about by which that Great Multitude of God's elect, as described in Revelation 7, were saved out of the Great Tribulation and outside of and away from any Christian church, for God had then already forsaken forever the whole corporate Christian Church on May 21,1988 before the Latter Rain even began, and so He would, at the time of the Latter Rain, only save His remaining elect outside of the Church. Indeed, no one has truly been eternally saved in or thru the corporate Christian Church, which includes all Christian churches, ever since May 21,1988, and even to this very day, and, yes, what will be even to the very Last Day, even though there continue to be many counterfeit salvations taking place through the counterfeit holy spirit who is the Antichrist and Beast, the Man of Sin, the Little Horn , Satan himself, to deceive God's elect, if that were possible , into returning to the corporate Christian Church where they would be in disobedience to the true Christ and worshipping the perfect counterfeit Christ, the devil himself, just like all the churchgoers are now doing in these Latter Days of great deception without even realizing it, even as they have been ongoingly receiving the spiritual mark of the beast (see Revelation 13:16 ), meaning they are not written in the Lamb's book of life, but given over to the Beast by great deception.
 
So, for all you who still think that God would never bring an end to salvation until the very end of the world, clearly, our verse of Daniel 8:11 speaks against you, for God did bring an end to eternal salvation in and thru the Christian Church before the very end ever since May 21,1988 when by him [the Little Horn], the daily sacrifice [Jesus Christ] was taken away from the whole corporate Christian Church due to the Holy Spirit having then departed out from them, which means all Christian churches worldwide, except, of course, the Eternal Church who are the true elect that have long since obeyed Jesus Christ to have left all Christian churches, just as the true Holy Spirit, and so eternal salvation, had been removed from the midst of the corporate Christian Church to allow for the counterfeit holy spirit and Christ, the devil, to take His place in the Temple so that God's Judgment would then begin at the House of God, for judgment [had to] begin at the House of God (1Peter 4:17). 


Now, until the next time, may Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee: Yahweh make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Yahweh lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
