DANIEL CHAPTER EIGHT PART FIVE
23. Does the little horn pollute the sanctuary? If so how, and how is it cleansed from the
pollution? Is it from the pollution of the little horn that the sanctuary must be cleansed?
Answer!
The answer to question number twenty-three. It is:
a. [23] Does the little horn pollute the sanctuary? If so how, and how is it cleansed
from the pollution? Is it from the pollution of the little horn that the sanctuary
must be cleansed?
1. A translation of Dan. 8:11-14.
[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 was cast down. [12] And an host was given
him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the
ground; and it practised, and prospered. [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 and the host
to be trodden under foot. [14] And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred
days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
2. What is the sanctuary in Dan. 8:11-14?
a. The events take place in the time of the end: Dan. 8:17, 19,26.
b. Thus this is the heavenly sanctuary: Heb. 8:1-6; Rev. 14:17.
3. The little horn (religious Roman phase) assaults and profanes (pollutes) the heavenly
sanctuary: Dan. 8:11-13; Dan. 11:31.
4. What is the profanation/pollution? A physical assault on the sanctuary in heaven or a
spiritual assault?
a. The use of the word “Halal” (root: HLL) for pollution/profanation. Ex. 20:25; Eze.
20:9; Eze. 22:26; Ps. 55: 19,20; Ps. 89:30,31; Lev. 18:21; Ex. 31:14.
b. Thus “Halal” (root: HLL) pollute/profane means to obscure the moral meaning of
a thing by transgression of that which God requires, which he has outlined. This
the Papacy does by obscuring the meaning of the heavenly ministration of Christ
by pointing people to pagan teachings: Dan. 8:11,12; Dan. 7;25; Dan. 11:31; 2
Thess. 2:3,4; Rev. 13:6.
5. Examples of pollution/profanation of a sanctuary: Eze. 5;5-11; Eze. 8:1-17; Eze. 23:37-39;
Zeph. 3:1-4.
a. By obscuring the truth and exalting a modified form of these same errors the
papacy profaned/polluted the sanctuary.
b. Polluting the sanctuary is therefore men’s sins and traditions corrupting the
science of salvation from in the minds of people, and in their testimony: Lev.
21:10-12,21-23; Jer. 7:28,30; Jer. 32:33,34; 2 Chr. 36:14; Eze. 44:7; Mal. 2:11.
c. There is no idea of the sanctuary being polluted/profaned by confessed sins of
the penitent (in the Bible) flowing into it.
5. Is therefore the term “Cleanse the sanctuary” (Dan. 8:14) used to mean to stop transgression
and restore the truth that is trampled?
a. The use of the phase “Cleanse the sanctuary”: Num. 29:7-11; Lev. 23:27-32; Lev.
16:3,5,7-9,15,16,18-23, 29-31,33,34; Eze. 45:18-20.
b. “Afflict your soul” in the texts means “Godly sorrow, confession and repentance
in prayer”. See: (Ps. 35:13; Dan. 9:3,4; Jonah. 3:5,6,8,10; Lk. 10:13; Ezra. 8:21;
Zeph. 3:13).
c. Nowhere is the phase “Cleanse the sanctuary” used for restoring the truth or
worship from profanity/pollution of evil men.
d. The phase “Cleanse the sanctuary” is used to mean the blotting out or
forgiveness of past sins repented of and forsaken.
e. “Cleanse the sanctuary” in Dan. 8:14 is used synonymous with “Judgment” of the
saints in Dan. 7:9,10,22, 26.
6. The question and answer of Dan. 8:13,14 should therefore be “Until when shall the Papacy
pollute/profane the sanctuary by obscuring its meaning through its false system? Until
2300 years, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed or see the forgiveness of past sins”. This
tells us that the cleansing of the sanctuary is the key or sign as to when the Papal pollution
ends, not that the cleansing is from Papal pollution. The restoring of full truth about the
sanctuary ministry of Christ returns, when he actually begins this cleansing work in the
heavenly sanctuary. See Dan. 7:26 (Rev. 10:7; Rev. 11:15,18,19) thus Dan. 8:11-15 speaks
about the horn polluting the sanctuary, but Dan. 8:14 speaks about the final forgiveness
that takes place in the heavenly sanctuary.
7. Thus it is the little horn (the Papal phase) that obscuringly pollute/profane the heavenly
sanctuary. It (the sanctuary) is cleansed not from confessed sins, that has polluted it or
from the Papal obscurity. It’s cleansing is forgiveness of sins to penitent Israel, but this
event is the time the Papal obscurity/pollution/profanity comes to an end.
