And so the question is what is "the place of his sanctuary cast down"?

page 79 As for casting down the place of His sanctuary, everybody knows that Rome did this very thing. It utterly destroyed the city of Jerusalem and its temple, and the latter has never been rebuilt. Epiphanes did not destroy the temple; he defiled it, he deliberately desecrated it; but he did not injure its structure in the least. Hence he never did what this prophecy predicted.
In passing, it ought to be noted and proclaimed from the housetops that the futurist school of prophecy, in pushing this and all the many related and parallel predictions into the future, when (they say) these things will be performed by the coming antichrist, are thereby seeking to remove the brand which the Holy Ghost in prophecy has placed upon popery. Let the true follower of Christ take heed and act accordingly.
As I have already pointed out, the position here taken is that this symbol of the little horn represents Rome in its long total career, first as the pagan or imperial despotism, warring against the Jewish people and then the early Christians. And finally, extending down to our own day and into the perilous future, warring against the Christian church. The two despotisms have ruled from the same center, and the transition from the one to the other is more in name than in fact; for the latter form is a mere continuance of the other.

9 And out of one of them sprang one strong horn, and it prevailed, and it struck against the south and against the east and against the north. 10 And it was raised unto the stars of the sky. And it was thrown down upon the earth from the stars and trodden by them until the commander in chief delivers the captives. And the mountains, which were from eternity, were overthrown on account of it and their place and sacrifice were taken away. And he put it to the ground, [upon the earth], and it prospered, and it emerged, and the sanctuary will be desolated. 12 And sins were on the offering, and justice was thrown to the ground, and it acted, and it prospered. 13 And I kept hearing another holy one speaking, and the other one said to the Phelmouni who was speaking, "How long will this vision continue: even the sacrifice, which has been taken away, and the sin of desolation that has been given and the sanctuaries will be desolated unto trampling?"

9 And out of one of them came one strong horn, and it grew exceedingly great toward the south and toward the host. 10 And it became great all the way up to the host of heaven. And it fell upon the earth from the host and from the stars and trampled them under foot, 11 even until the commander in chief delivers the captives. And sacrifices were overthrown on account of it. And it emerged, and things were prosperous for it, and the sanctuary will be desolated. 12 And sin was given for an offering, and justice was thrown to the ground, and it acted, and it prospered. 13 And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one holy one said to the Phelmouni who was speaking, "For how long will this vision continue: the sacrifice, which has been taken away, and the sin of desolation that has been given and the sanctuary and the host will be trampled under foot?"
