The Prophecy of the 2,300 Days of Daniel (“Evenings and Mornings”)
Antiochus Called "a horn", because he had power and authority, which he increased in; although "little" in comparison to Alexander the great horn;
Towards the east; towards Armenia and Persia, the Atropatii in Media, and the countries beyond the Euphrates, whom he made tributary to him;
Towards the pleasant land; the land of Judea, so called because of its delightful great fruitfulness; and because God chose it above all others for his habitation; where his word, and worship, and ordinances, were observed and enjoyed; and where the Messiah should be born and dwell; into this Antiochus led his army, and greatly afflicted and distressed it; he made himself a master of places in Galilee and Judea
Dan 8:10 -11 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. 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.
Some of the common people he persecuted and destroyed, or brought upon them, by threats or flatteries, to destroy their true beliefs; and even some of the "stars", the lights of the people, the Priests and Levites, that ministered unto them; or the princes (Ruler), and elders of the people, whom he slew, or removed from their duties, so that they could not interpret or do the duties of their office;

In 198 BC when the Syrian empire with King Antiochus III took over Judea and Samaria. Antiochus III was fairly tolerant of the Jews and allowed them to continue to live according to their custom. However, in 175 BC, his son Antiochus IV which was called Antiochus Epiphanes (*Epiphanes,” which means “Illustrious one” or “god manifest.” His blasphemous behavior earned him another nickname among the Jews: “Epimanes,” which means “mad one.” ascended to the throne. In 168 BC, he massacred many Jews, outlawed Judaism, and looted the temple. Antiochus IV went so far as to erect an altar to Zeus in the temple and defiled it by sacrificing pigs there. Antiochus made a decree outlawing Jewish rites and worship, ordering the Jews to worship Zeus rather than the God of Abraham. He was trying to totally eliminate all traces of Jewish culture. Jews everywhere were ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods and eat pig flesh
The remaining Jews were horrified, so Judah Maccabee (meaning Judah "the Hammer") led a revolt, and in165 BC, Judah Maccabee and his followers were successful in
recapturing the temple and began the Jewish kingdom which lasted until Jerusalem fell to Roman rule. When Judah Maccabee recaptured the temple, he ordered it to be cleansed, a new altar to be built, and new holy vessels to be made. After these steps, the temple was rededicated to the Lord.
This prophecy is one that is divided among teachings, as some teach as a literal 2300 days or over 6 years, where others including us believe it was 2 sacrifices daily, morning and evening which comes to literal 1150 days which comes to a little over 3 years which coincides with the Antiochus Epiphanes of 168 BC to 165 BC when Judah Maccabee led the revolt against Antiochus.
Today, this festival is observed by lighting the candles of a menorah with nine branches, called a hanukkiah. Each night, one candle is lit by the special shamash candle until all eight other candles are lit on the final night of the holiday remembering the eight days
the oil lasted at the rededication of the second temple.
