Sermon Three
Daniel’s Daily: The Words of Daniel
Two Take Aways
Sur
Sur: turn aside, remove. Used to describe when the ashes
were removed from under the altar and taken outside the camp.
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the
sanctuary of strength, and shall take away [sur: remove] the daily
sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Daniel 11:31.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice
shall be taken away, [sur: removed] and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety
days. Daniel 12:11.
Ruwm
Ruwm: to lift up or exalt. Used to describe when the
priest would lift up and exalt a wave offering before the Lord.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, [ruwm: lifted up
and exalted] and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
But when his heart was lifted up, [ruwm: lifted up
and exalted] and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly
throne, and they took his glory from him. Daniel 5:20.
But hast lifted up [ruwm: lifted up and exalted]
thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his
house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have
drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of
brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in
whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou
not glorified. Daniel 5:23.
And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart
shall be lifted up; [ruwm: lifted up and exalted] and he shall
cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
Daniel 11:12.
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt [ruwm: lift up and exalt] himself, and magnify himself above
every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall
prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall
be done. Daniel 11:36.
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon
the waters of the river, when he held up [ruwm: lift up] his right
hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that
it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have
accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things
shall be finished. Daniel 12:7.
Daniel 8:11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and by him the daily sacrifice was [ruwm: lifted up and
exalted] and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
The Word Sacrifice
"Then I saw in relation to the ‘daily’ (Daniel 8:12) that the
word ‘sacrifice’ was supplied by man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text,
and that the Lord gave the correct view of it to those who gave the judgment
hour cry." Early Writings, 74.
The Daily was Lifted up and Exalted
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and by him the daily was lifted up and exalted and the place of his
sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
The Pioneer View—Paganism
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and by him paganism was lifted up and exalted and the place of his
sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
The Modern Theologian’s View—Christ’s Sanctuary Ministry
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and by him Christ’s sanctuary ministry was lifted up and exalted
and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
The Pioneer View—Pagan Rome
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and through pagan Rome, paganism was lifted up and exalted
and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
The Modern Theologian’s View—Papal Rome
Yea, he magnified himself even to the host of heaven;
and through the papacy, Christ’s sanctuary ministry was lifted up and
exalted and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.
Two Sanctuaries
Qodesh & Miqdash
There are two different Hebrew words in the book of Daniel
that are both translated as "sanctuary". These two words are qodesh and
miqdash. Qodesh is only used in the Bible to identify God’s
sanctuary, whether earthly or heavenly; and miqdash is used to identify
either God’s or a pagan sanctuary.
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 [miqdash] was cast down.
Daniel 8:13
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto
that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision
concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation,
to give both the sanctuary [qodesh] and the host to be trodden
under foot?
Daniel 8:14
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred
days; then shall the sanctuary [qodesh] be cleansed.
Daniel 9:17
Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and
his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary [miqdash]
that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
Daniel 9:26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy
the city and the sanctuary [qodesh]; and the end thereof shall
be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel 11:31
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the
sanctuary [miqdash] of strength, and shall take away the daily
sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Four Verses
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 [miqdash] was cast down. Then I heard one saint
speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How
long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice,
and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary [qodesh]
and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand
and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary [qodesh] be
cleansed. Daniel 8:11–14.
Qodesh is exclusively God’s sanctuary. Miqdash is
a sanctuary, whether God’s or a pagan.
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. Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint
said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the
vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of
desolation, to give both God’s sanctuary and the host to be trodden under
foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall
God’s sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:11–14.
Daniel 8:11—The Place
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.

the host; and through pagan Rome, paganism was lifted up and

the host; and through the papacy, Christ’s sanctuary ministry was

Two Visions
In Daniel eight there are two different Hebrew words that are
translated as "vision". In the King James Version, in Daniel chapter eight the
word "vision" is found ten times. The word vision occurs once each in verses
one, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and twenty-seven, and twice in verses
two and twenty-six. The two different Hebrew words are: "mareh" and "chazown".
Chazown means the entire, total or complete vision.
Mareh means appearance; a snapshot of the vision.
In verses one, then twice in verse two, then in verses
thirteen, fifteen, seventeen and twenty-six, we find the word chazown
translated as vision. Chazown means the complete vision.
In verse twenty-six we find the word "vision" occurs twice.
In this verse it is actually both mareh and chazown respectively.
The first word translated as "vision" in verse twenty-six is mareh and
the second word translated as "vision" is chazown.
The first time the word "vision" occurs in verse twenty-six
is the Hebrew word mareh, meaning a snapshot. This word is also employed
by Daniel in verses sixteen and twenty-seven. The word mareh, meaning
snapshot is also found in verse fifteen, where it was translated as "appearance"
instead of "vision".
The word "vision" occurs ten times in Daniel eight: three
times it is mareh and seven times it is chazown.
Chazown: the complete vision—Mareh: the snapshot
vision
Verse Thirteen and Fourteen:
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said
unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the COMPLETE
vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of
desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under
foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then
shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
The Question of Duration
How long shall be the COMPLETE vision concerning the daily
sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary
and the host to be trodden under foot?
Pioneer View

Medes and the Persians and identifies that] the sanctuary and the host [are] to
be trodden under foot [by the two powers symbolized as] the daily [Paganism] and
the transgression [papal] of desolation?
The Modern Theologian’s View
How long shall be the COMPLETE vision concerning Christ’s
sanctuary ministry and the papacy, that trample down of the sanctuary and the
host?
The Answer
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred
days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:14.
