Who Cast The Sanctuary Truth To The Ground?
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great...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.
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground;
Daniel 8:9,11,12
The Little Horn Entity of Daniel, the same that is the Beast Entity of Revelation, did it.
It entered the Outer Court--
1st, it replaced the Altar of Sacrifice with penance. 2nd, it made of mockery of the Brazen Laver and Baptism by twisting Baptism into sprinkling and adding infant Baptism. (The Greek word used by Paul for Baptism means immersion. And although the priests didn't immerse in the Sanctuary, they washed their feet and hands ceremonially, it was a symbol for Baptism -- but the Symbol doesn't replace the act).
It then entered the Inner Court, the Holy Place--
3rd, it took the Bread (Word of God) from the Table of Shewbread and chained them to walls in monasteries, gave the death decree for being caught with it and replaced it with "Church Tradition", later mocking the Protestants for holding to Sola Scriptura (the Bible alone)....as for the Communion service, symbolized also by the Bread and Drink Cups on the Table, it denied the people in "Mass" full participation as the people can eat the wafer but the priest drinks from the cup FOR them.4th, it replace the Altar of Incense with Confession to a human Priest rather than your High Priest in Heaven. Even role of the Holy Spirit in the process (Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26) was replaced with intercessory prayers of dead "saints".
5th, it then, as a result of all this, snuffed of the 7 Branch Candlestick, this light of truth that had been known.
--It then entered the Most Holy Place--
6th, it then reached into the Ark of the Covenant and took scissors to the Law of God changing the ordinance of the Sabbath Commandment, transferring the solemnity of the 7th day to the first day of the week (And he shall speak great words against the most High,... and think to change times and laws: Daniel 7:25). Then it ripped out the 2nd Commandment, the one against idol worship, as it set up statues of dead saints to "venerate". Like the Church of Thyatira in the seven phases of Church history (Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:20). This culminated in cutting the 10 Commandment into two so as to still have "10".
7th, it climbed up upon the Judgment Seat which is between to golden Cherubim Angels, and sat it's leader down on it declaring him the Vicar of Christ on earth and the "Holy Father".
--It Blasphemes God's Temple--
Scripture lists 2 things as specifically BLASPHEMY:
1) Claiming the power to forgive sins.
2) Claiming to be God on earth.
This Entity has done BOTH on the pages of history as it claims, through it's "Treasury of Merits" the power to forgive and that it's leader is the "Holy Father".
And he (the Beast) opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name,(by declaring himself the "Holy Father") and His tabernacle, (by declaring the power to forgive sins which takes place only in God's Tabernacle in Heaven)and Them that dwell in heaven. (those that dwell in heaven would NOT be the angelic host for they are not divine beings but rather created beings. Those that dwell in heaven is a reference to the triune Godhead. Not only is it blaspheming God, but also the Son's sacrifice by claiming it can forgive sins but also blaspheming the Holy Spirit--remember at the altar of Incense? That's where Paul tells us that the Holy Spirit intercedes--but this Beast entity has the intercessory prayer of dead "saints"....so yes, this Beast entity blasphemes all those that dwell in heaven--the Godhead).
Revelation 13:6
**The Sanctuary Truth would be brought back when the Cleansing of the Sanctuary would begin.
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake,
Q: 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?
A: And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Daniel 8:13,14
