8:11-12 God is the Commander of heaven’s army (cp. Josh 5:13-15; 1 Sam 4:4; 1 Kgs 22:19) to whom the daily sacrifices were offered in his Temple, where God’s name resided and Israel worshiped its King (Isa 18:7; Ezek 43:6-7). • destroying (literally casting down): The religious function of the Temple was disabled. • God restrained the heavenly army for reasons known only to him. • The truth of God’s law, embodied in true worship, was also overthrown (literally cast down).
