Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 8:10

10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven , and it cast down some of the host, and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

i. e. 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 chiefly the Priests, and Nobles and Champions, who were as Stars shining above the rest; these he prophaned and slew cruelly.

Marginal references: Or, against the host.; Rev. 12.4.; Or, even of the stars.
