TWOT - 2292a
saraph I. Fiery serpent. This word is used five times: of the poisonous snakes in the wilderness (Numbers 21:6, 8; Deut. 8:15) and figuratively of threatened dangerous snakes (Isaiah 14:29; Isaiah 30:6). The snakes in the wilderness were a natural phenomenon used by God to punish Israel's murmuring. But the healing brought about by the brass serpent Moses made was as miraculous as that which it prefigured (John 3:14). It is of interest that when Jesus referred to his being lifted up in terms of this verse he was actually predicting his crucifixion. "Being lifted up" was a well-understood euphemism in Jesus' day for death by crucifixion (John 12:32).

KJV - 5 verses found containing the phrase "daily sacrifice":
Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away [7311], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Daniel 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Daniel 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away [5493] the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away [5493], and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
In every case, 'sacrifice' was added in by the translators. Not that it isn't appropriate, but it gives the impression that a physical temple will exist with animal sacrifices.
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

The 'ner tamiyd' in the synagogue is the 'eternal light'.
2.3.2 The Eternal Light
Suspended above and in front of the Aron HaKodesh is the ner tamid, the eternal light. The use of a perpetual light is based on passages in Exodus and Leviticus in which the Jewish people were commanded to kee a lamp burning in the Mishkan, as they carried it with them in the wilderness. Twice God instructed Moses:
And you [Moses] shall command the Children of Israel to bring you pure olive oil... to make a lamp burn continually. —Parshat Tetzaveh, Exodus 27:20
and
Command the children of Israel to bring you pure olive oil... to make a lamp burn continually. —Parshat Emor, Leviticus 24:2
From these passages, we can understand why the ner tamid is a prominent feature of the synagogue.
Originally, the ner tamid was an oil-burning lamp. Today, for the sake of convenience and safety, an electric light is used.
Exploring Jewish Tradition, pgs 30-31
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Daniel was given a message by Gabriel, addressed to the Jew first, and then to the Gentile [Church]. There is still unfinished time of the '70 weeks' clock. What will cause it to start ticking again?
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Romans 1:18-19 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Look at the time on the clock!
Daniel 12:09 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
