It grew so big it reached the army (06635 צָבָא tsaba’) of heaven, and it brought about the fall of some of the army (06635 צָבָא tsaba’) and some of the stars (03556 כּוֹכָב kowkab) to the ground, where it trampled them. (Dan. 8:10 NET)
And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it. (Dan. 8:27 NKJ)
Unlike Daniel, modern Commentators see nothing astonishing in this context. None of this causes them to be “faint and sick for days”.
To modern commentators, the “little Horn” must be Antiochus and the “army of God” and “stars” Israel’s saints, or priests or chief rulers. They say this because of the hermeneutical principle: "words can only mean what the author understood them to men."
But what if the Bible writer is prophesying about the future, about things he doesn't understand? What if he is told only "the prudent", critical thinkers living in the future will people understand, because then the words will be "unsealed" by the prophesied events?
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things?"
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 "Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. (Dan. 12:8-10 NKJ)
Obviously, the normally sound rule for interpretation becomes a "veil" interpreters overlay upon scripture, sealing its meaning from them. Daniel could not be prophesying about Antiochus and his profaning of the Temple, that Daniel would have understood perfectly.
Gabriel says the vision occurs in the End Time, not the time of Antiochus Epiphanes.
So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.” (Dan. 8:17 NKJ)
We who live in the End Times know what the coming "strong delusion" is, "Ancient Alien Theory". The spectacular rise of UFO spectacles is causing a massive falling away from belief in God. Given that context, what could the "army of heaven" and "Stars" be?
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?" (Dan. 4:35 NKJ)
Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. (Dan. 10:20 NKJ)
They fought from the heavens; The stars from their courses fought against Sisera. (Jdg. 5:20 NKJ)
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, (Rev. 12:7 NKJ)
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. (Rev. 19:14 NKJ)
Daniel saw a version of "Star Wars", God's angels fighting Satan's angels in service to the Antichrist, in the end time.
Today, words describing such battles are "unsealed", easily understood.
