Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 8:10

_ _ great, even to ... host of heaven — explained in Daniel 8:24, “the mighty and holy people,” that is, the Jews (Daniel 7:21) and their priests (compare Isaiah 24:21). The Levites’ service is called “a warfare” (Numbers 8:24, Numbers 8:25, Margin). Great civil and religious powers are symbolized by “stars” (Matthew 24:29). See 1 Maccabees 1:25, etc.; 1 Maccabees 2:35, etc.; 1 Maccabees 5:2, 12, 13. Tregelles refers “stars” to those Jews whose portion from God is heavenly glory (Daniel 12:3), being believers in Him who is above at God’s right hand: not the blinded Jews.

_ _ cast ... stars to the ground — So Babel, as type of Antichrist, is described (Isaiah 14:13, Isaiah 14:14), “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God.” Compare Revelation 12:4; 2 Maccabees 9:10, as to Antiochus.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 8:1-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 8:10

The host of heaven — The church of God militant, who worship the God of heaven, who are citizens of heaven, whose names are written in heaven; and among these the priests, and champions, who were as stars shining above the rest; these he profaned and slew cruelly.
