The little horn in Daniel 8 is Antiochus, however you read it that is speaking about the Greek empire, in particular, the Seleucid empire,What the argument comes down to is the 2300 referring to the number of lambs sacrificed or the number of days within which that the sacrifice of the lambs will not be happening.
Daniel 8:14 is referring to a period of time in the end times - 2300 days. During the 2300 days the daily sacrifice will begin again and then later during the same 2300 days, the daily sacrifice will be stopped in the middle of the 7 years.
Then as it says in Daniel 8:13, once the daily sacrifice is stopped, the transgression of desolation will take place, and the sanctuary and the Jews (the host) will thereafter will be trodden under foot.
The fault in your logic is that you don't acknowledge that the daily sacrifice is a unit of two lambs being sacrificed everyday.
In Daniel 9:27, what does it say...the sacrifice or the sacrifices?
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 9:27 is about the Lord Lord Jesus who confirmed the Covent with the Jews for one week and in the midst of the week caused the sacrifice to cease by his death on the Cross.
The little horn in Daniel 7 is the Papacy, fulfilled in history, being fulfilled now and will be finally fulfilled in the near future.
