This declaration in Daniel shows the same mind as the NT about the veiled OT. ie, a person could read the OT veiled and think it was all about on the ground (the old covenant, the land of israel).
Then there is the literalism question. How exactly do you throw truth to the ground? What would that look like?
Dan 8:12.
The passage is about the rebellion that destroyed Israel that came at the same time as Christ (cp the end of ch 9). Yes, it was the inevitable outcome of making all the old covenant's promises to be about the race and land, instead of Christ.
