00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.759
 We're in Daniel chapter 7 this morning, earlier this year in the spring.

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.640
 We worked our way through the first six chapters of Daniel.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.280
 And just to remind you, those first six chapters are typically the ones that most people are very familiar with.

00:00:14.419 --> 00:00:19.679
 They're narrative, make for good storytelling, good children's ministry lessons.

00:00:20.059 --> 00:00:24.800
 And then you get to the back half, starting in chapter 7, and things get a little bit weird.

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:32.320
 So the back half of Daniel, starting in chapter 7, oftentimes Christians will disagree on how to interpret these verses.

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.859
 Just a disclaimer, you may disagree with me in some of the things that we'll cover over the next several weeks together.

00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:40.920
 And let me just say on the front end, that's okay.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.840
 We're okay with that.

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.060
 And I'll be the first one to tell you that I do not fully understand everything in the book of Daniel.

00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:54.719
 So even still, I'm excited to open it up and hear what God has to say for us this morning.

00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.719
 So if you would, hopefully you found it by now.

00:00:57.779 --> 00:00:58.699
 Daniel chapter 7.

00:00:58.739 --> 00:01:01.359
 Would you stand in honor of the reading of God's word this morning?

00:01:01.599 --> 00:01:02.559
 Daniel chapter 7.

00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:16.599
 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed.

00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:19.759
 Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter.

00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.300
 Daniel declared,

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:27.459
 I saw in my vision by night and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:31.359
 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

00:01:31.899 --> 00:01:34.359
 The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:41.259
 And then as I looked, its wings were plucked off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man.

00:01:41.659 --> 00:01:43.400
 And the mind of a man was given to it.

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.719
 And behold, another beast, a second one like a bear.

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:49.180
 It was raised up on one side.

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.880
 It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth.

00:01:52.219 --> 00:01:55.200
 And it was told, arise, devour much flesh.

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.719
 After this, I looked and behold, another like a leopard with four wings of a bird on its back.

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.020
 And the beast had four heads and dominion was given to it.

00:02:04.019 --> 00:02:11.719
 After this, I saw in the night visions and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong.

00:02:12.299 --> 00:02:13.879
 It had great iron teeth.

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.620
 It devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet.

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.620
 It was different from all the beasts that were before it.

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:21.759
 And it had ten horns.

00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:27.319
 I considered the horns and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one,

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.819
 before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots.

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:36.739
 And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things.

00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.099
 As I looked, thrones were placed.

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.799
 And the ancient of days took his seat.

00:02:43.359 --> 00:02:47.359
 His clothing was white as snow and the hair of his head like pure wool.

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:49.959
 His throne was fiery flames.

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:51.919
 Its wheels were burning fire.

00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.479
 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him.

00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.919
 A thousand thousand served him.

00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:01.139
 And ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:05.339
 The court sat in judgment and the books were opened.

00:03:06.299 --> 00:03:09.519
 I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking.

00:03:10.019 --> 00:03:15.019
 And as I looked, the beast was killed and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.

00:03:15.859 --> 00:03:18.719
 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away.

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.819
 But their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:28.079
 I saw in the night visions and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man.

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.819
 And he came to the ancient of days and was presented before him.

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:40.519
 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.519
 His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away.

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.240
 And his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.760
 As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.200
 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this.

00:03:58.540 --> 00:04:02.480
 So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:07.240
 These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:15.120
 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever, and ever.

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.959
 Then I desired to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest,

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.860
 exceedingly terrifying with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze,

00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:27.959
 in which devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet.

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:32.360
 And about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up,

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:37.579
 and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things,

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:39.680
 and that seemed greater than its companions.

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:47.920
 As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them until the Ancient of Days came,

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.079
 and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High,

00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:53.740
 and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.

00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:55.680
 Thus he said,

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.439
 As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.600
 which shall be different from all the kingdoms,

00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:07.139
 and it shall devour the whole earth and trample it down and break it into pieces.

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.560
 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,

00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:13.600
 and another shall arise after them.

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.060
 He shall be different from the former ones,

00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:17.960
 and shall put down three kings.

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:20.620
 He shall speak words against the Most High,

00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.120
 and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.840
 and shall think to change the times and the law,

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:30.340
 and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:32.780
 But the court shall sit in judgment,

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:35.000
 and his dominion shall be taken away,

00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:37.740
 to be consumed and destroyed to the end.

00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.480
 And the kingdom and the dominion

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.180
 and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven

00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:46.399
 shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High.

00:05:47.139 --> 00:05:49.220
 His kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:52.360
 and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.439
 Here is the end of the matter.

00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.879
 As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me,

00:05:57.939 --> 00:05:59.060
 and my color changed,

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.120
 but I kept the matter in my heart.

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.060
 And the grass withers and the flower fades,

00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:07.540
 but the word of our Lord endures forever.

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:08.720
 Would you pray with me once more?

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:12.939
 Father, we ask now as we open up this chapter

00:06:12.939 --> 00:06:15.759
 that you would make all things clear.

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:20.040
 Father, that your spirit would empower the preaching of your word.

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.240
 Lord, would you help us to grow in our love for Christ?

00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:27.300
 Would we submit to his reign and rule even now?

00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:28.260
 We pray in Jesus' name.

00:06:29.140 --> 00:06:29.439
 Amen.

00:06:30.200 --> 00:06:31.040
 You may be seated.

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.700
 In my hometown, there was a cheap dollar movie theater

00:06:37.700 --> 00:06:39.620
 that showed movies on their second run,

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:42.680
 and it was one of the best, cheapest ways to go out with some friends

00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.259
 and see a movie on the weekends.

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.959
 And so what we would do is we would go,

00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.399
 we would pick a movie to watch,

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.579
 we'd go there, pick whatever we wanted to see,

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.340
 and then we would leave there discussing whatever it was that we had just seen.

00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.759
 And depending on the movie,

00:06:56.899 --> 00:06:58.519
 sometimes that conversation was quick,

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.199
 and the movie was simple, easy to understand.

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:06.539
 And at other times, we sat there and talked for hours and hours

00:07:06.539 --> 00:07:07.819
 about what we had just seen.

00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:09.639
 Sometimes it was difficult to understand,

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.699
 and even sometimes we went back the following week

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:14.980
 to watch the same movie over again

00:07:14.980 --> 00:07:18.560
 so that we could see those same scenes play again in front of our eyes

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.959
 and try as best as we could to understand

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.259
 what in the world we had just seen.

00:07:24.039 --> 00:07:27.180
 Daniel 7 is a little bit like that.

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:32.840
 This is a vision playing out in Daniel's mind as he dreams.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.220
 He sees these scenes flashing in front of him.

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.860
 What he sees is shocking to him.

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.879
 It's upsetting to him.

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:42.120
 It's all a lot to process.

00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:44.780
 And when he's all done seeing these visions,

00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:46.399
 when it's all over, he walks away asking,

00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:48.060
 what in the world did I just see?

00:07:49.340 --> 00:07:53.759
 And I'm guessing that as I read through Daniel 7 just now,

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.279
 many of us are feeling the same way.

00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.339
 So what we're going to do before we enter back into the theater

00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:04.659
 of Daniel's vision once more

00:08:04.659 --> 00:08:07.019
 and see these scenes play in front of us again,

00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:10.000
 I want to give us the big idea here from Daniel 7.

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:13.500
 The big idea, the message of Daniel 7 is this.

00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:18.539
 God defeats the kingdom of man by the son of man.

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.120
 That's the big idea.

00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.600
 God defeats, he triumphs over the kingdom of man

00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:31.579
 by giving an eternal kingdom to one like a son of man.

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.779
 And we who belong to him,

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.759
 we get to enjoy his reign and rule forever.

00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:40.860
 That's Daniel 7.

00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:42.740
 So what we're going to see here this morning is

00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:44.899
 two scenes and a summary.

00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.720
 Two scenes and a summary.

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.700
 First, scene number one is the scene on earth.

00:08:52.920 --> 00:08:54.040
 Look there to verse one with me.

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:57.220
 Verse one says that this dream came to Daniel

00:08:57.220 --> 00:09:00.220
 during the first year of Belshazzar's reign.

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.860
 And so we're actually, we're going back in time here chronologically.

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.680
 We've already seen Belshazzar come and go.

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:09.300
 You remember the story with the writing on the wall.

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:11.200
 But we should know prophetic literature

00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.139
 doesn't always write in a straight line.

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.620
 We shouldn't expect it to.

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:19.320
 And so here in the first year of Belshazzar's reign,

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:22.000
 we're told Daniel sees this vision.

00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:23.600
 Verse two says,

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.120
 The four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.679
 And out of this sea come four beasts.

00:09:31.700 --> 00:09:33.600
 We're told in the second half of the chapter

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.539
 that these four beasts,

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.480
 they represent four kingdoms.

00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:38.700
 And if that sounds familiar to you at all,

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.159
 that's good.

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:40.399
 You have a better memory than I do.

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.159
 You're thinking back to Daniel chapter two.

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.439
 You remember from Daniel chapter two,

00:09:45.579 --> 00:09:47.980
 it was Nebuchadnezzar who had a dream.

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.559
 And he was dreaming about this statue

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.059
 that was made up of these four parts.

00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:54.779
 And the four parts of that statue,

00:09:54.939 --> 00:09:56.159
 you remember, what do they represent?

00:09:56.899 --> 00:09:58.419
 Four kingdoms.

00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.439
 What we see here in chapter seven

00:10:01.439 --> 00:10:03.360
 is that Daniel chapter two

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:04.980
 and Daniel chapter seven,

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:06.779
 they sync up.

00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.199
 Daniel has sort of an expanded vision,

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.100
 an expanded view of these same four kingdoms

00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:14.640
 from Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:15.280
 What are they?

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.320
 The first, he says, is like a lion.

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.020
 It's not any ordinary lion, is it?

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:24.140
 This lion has eagle's wings.

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:26.580
 And even then, the wings are plucked off.

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:28.400
 The lion is lifted up.

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:30.680
 It's made to stand on two feet like a man.

00:10:30.900 --> 00:10:33.860
 A mind of a man is given to it.

00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.100
 Matching it up with Nebuchadnezzar's dream

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:38.940
 in chapter two, beast number one is Babylon.

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:39.140
 Babylon.

00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.220
 You remember what happened to Nebuchadnezzar,

00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:43.260
 to Babylon.

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.740
 God judged his pride.

00:10:45.880 --> 00:10:48.060
 He plucked off his wings, so to speak,

00:10:48.380 --> 00:10:49.860
 drove him away from his kingdom.

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.140
 But at the end, what happened?

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.300
 He was restored.

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.860
 And once again, he was given a mind like a man.

00:10:56.020 --> 00:10:57.180
 The first beast is Babylon.

00:10:58.020 --> 00:10:59.440
 The second beast, verse five,

00:10:59.520 --> 00:11:00.840
 he says, is like a bear.

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:03.640
 But again, it's not a normal looking bear, is it?

00:11:04.280 --> 00:11:07.020
 This bear is raised up on one side.

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:09.360
 He's got three ribs in its mouth,

00:11:09.439 --> 00:11:10.439
 between its teeth.

00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.620
 It looks like it just came from a kill.

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:14.439
 And it's told, again,

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.679
 go arise and devour much flesh.

00:11:18.579 --> 00:11:20.980
 Again, if we're following the pattern from chapter two,

00:11:21.079 --> 00:11:22.340
 lining up what we're seeing here,

00:11:22.439 --> 00:11:24.299
 this is the kingdom of Medo-Persia,

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.199
 which came in after Babylon under Cyrus.

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.360
 And they took over,

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.860
 and they devoured the kingdom of Babylon.

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:33.000
 And the third beast,

00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:34.480
 like a leopard,

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:37.720
 with four wings of a bird on its back,

00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:39.039
 and four heads.

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.019
 And this leopard,

00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:41.440
 he was given dominion.

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.500
 It's a beast that's quick,

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:44.980
 and it's destructive.

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.860
 He can strike in all directions,

00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:48.039
 with these four wings,

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.000
 and these four heads.

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.440
 And again, following the pattern of chapter two,

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.000
 this would be the kingdom of Greece,

00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:56.740
 under Alexander the Great.

00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:02.060
 All of this is this chaotic, terrifying scene.

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:04.480
 I want you to just place yourself in this vision.

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:06.400
 Sometimes we read these accounts,

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:07.940
 and we just kind of keep it distant.

00:12:08.060 --> 00:12:10.160
 I want you to step into Daniel's mind here,

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:11.800
 and picture this sea,

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.280
 this tumultuous sea,

00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:15.760
 being torn apart by the winds,

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:17.120
 and these four beasts coming up.

00:12:17.380 --> 00:12:20.060
 This is a chaotic, terrifying scene.

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:20.699
 But even so,

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:22.339
 I want you to notice the language here.

00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.539
 It's as powerful as these beasts are,

00:12:26.239 --> 00:12:29.339
 they are all passive actors in this scene.

00:12:29.439 --> 00:12:30.359
 Did you notice that?

00:12:31.119 --> 00:12:34.119
 It says dominion was given to the third beast.

00:12:34.839 --> 00:12:36.439
 The second beast was commanded.

00:12:36.599 --> 00:12:37.379
 Someone's commanding it.

00:12:37.439 --> 00:12:38.119
 Go devour.

00:12:38.219 --> 00:12:38.939
 The first beast,

00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:39.899
 he was brought up.

00:12:39.959 --> 00:12:41.239
 He had his wings plucked off.

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.099
 He was brought back up.

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:43.619
 He was given a mind like a man.

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:47.539
 It's clear there's a greater power at work here,

00:12:47.579 --> 00:12:49.279
 and soon we'll see exactly who that is.

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:49.919
 But first,

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:53.459
 Daniel shows us one final beast.

00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.360
 Look there to verse 7.

00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:57.659
 This fourth and final beast,

00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.399
 Daniel says,

00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:00.019
 was terrifying,

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:01.699
 and dreadful,

00:13:02.839 --> 00:13:04.120
 exceedingly strong,

00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:06.179
 teeth of iron,

00:13:06.299 --> 00:13:09.159
 and it just destroys everything in its path.

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:10.519
 And it's clear to Daniel

00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.179
 that as terrifying as all of these beasts are,

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:15.419
 this fourth beast is different.

00:13:15.419 --> 00:13:15.759
 In fact,

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:17.919
 it doesn't even have an animal description

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.759
 like the other three,

00:13:18.839 --> 00:13:19.199
 does it?

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:21.919
 It's as if Daniel's looking at this terrifying beast.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.199
 He has nothing to compare it to.

00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.139
 It has ten horns,

00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:27.899
 and then another horn,

00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:29.219
 and this other little horn

00:13:29.219 --> 00:13:30.360
 has eyes and a mouth,

00:13:30.479 --> 00:13:31.919
 and this little horn can talk.

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.879
 And if all of this sounds strange to you,

00:13:33.959 --> 00:13:35.019
 you are normal, okay?

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:37.939
 And you're in good company.

00:13:38.439 --> 00:13:40.699
 This was strange to Daniel as well.

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:41.340
 He wants to know,

00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:44.420
 what in the world am I looking at here?

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.360
 We'll see soon enough,

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:46.980
 but again,

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:49.580
 if we're following the pattern of chapter 2,

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:51.420
 we can identify this fourth beast

00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:53.640
 with the Roman Empire.

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:55.460
 But for now,

00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:56.680
 for now,

00:13:57.680 --> 00:13:58.580
 this first point here,

00:13:58.640 --> 00:13:59.600
 we should recognize that

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.840
 this scene from the earth,

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:03.600
 this view from the ground,

00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:04.360
 so to speak,

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:06.700
 it is a nightmare, isn't it?

00:14:07.420 --> 00:14:10.000
 This is a terrifying scene.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.799
 This isn't the big,

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:13.059
 beautiful statue of Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

00:14:13.419 --> 00:14:15.460
 Daniel gets a different perspective.

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.120
 He sees the ugliness of these human kingdoms.

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:22.539
 These beasts are hideous,

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:23.960
 ugly,

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:26.500
 just monstrous creatures.

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.940
 They're distorted images of God's good creation.

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.120
 And we need to just pause here

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:33.120
 just for a moment here

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:33.960
 and recognize

00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.159
 this is how God has chosen

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.879
 to communicate to Daniel

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.179
 and to us

00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:41.720
 the ugliness of the kingdoms of man.

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:46.000
 It's as if Daniel is seeing clearly

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.220
 the ugliness of sin.

00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:51.899
 This is a picture of our depravity

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:52.939
 left to ourselves

00:14:52.939 --> 00:14:54.899
 and our own natural sin nature.

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:57.600
 Mankind is like beasts.

00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.039
 Our sin is ugly.

00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:03.259
 It deforms God's natural design.

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:05.299
 This is not a pretty picture.

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:06.360
 The kingdom of man

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:07.879
 from Babylon

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.159
 to Rome

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.679
 to the present day,

00:15:10.819 --> 00:15:12.259
 this present evil age

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:13.700
 and all who belong to it

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:15.439
 are beastly.

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.159
 Daniel

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:18.980
 is looking at all of this

00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:19.480
 and then

00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:20.500
 all of a sudden

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.259
 in verse 9

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:22.939
 the scene changes.

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.720
 He moves from

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.100
 the scene on the earth

00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:27.500
 to scene number 2

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:28.559
 which is the scene

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.659
 in heaven.

00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:30.519
 Look there to verse 9.

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.480
 Daniel says,

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:33.139
 As I looked,

00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:34.720
 the thrones were placed

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.299
 and the ancient of days

00:15:36.299 --> 00:15:37.360
 took his seat.

00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:38.579
 This is a vision

00:15:38.579 --> 00:15:39.480
 of God

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:40.419
 himself.

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:42.519
 Daniel looks up

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.240
 from the evil

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:44.419
 and the beastliness

00:15:44.419 --> 00:15:45.000
 of the world

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:45.919
 and he sees

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.779
 God,

00:15:46.939 --> 00:15:48.539
 the holy judge

00:15:48.539 --> 00:15:50.519
 taking his seat.

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.500
 What does he say about him?

00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:52.740
 He says,

00:15:52.899 --> 00:15:53.960
 His clothing is

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.159
 white as snow

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:56.199
 and the hair of his head

00:15:56.199 --> 00:15:57.639
 is like pure wool.

00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:58.519
 This judge

00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.559
 on his throne

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:00.539
 is holy,

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:01.519
 holy,

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.439
 holy.

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:04.360
 His throne

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.159
 was fiery flames.

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:06.779
 Its wheels

00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:07.960
 were burning fire

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.199
 and a stream of fire

00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:10.679
 issued and came out

00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:11.500
 from before him.

00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:12.480
 It says a thousand,

00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:13.779
 thousand served him

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:14.860
 and ten thousand

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.939
 times ten thousand

00:16:15.939 --> 00:16:16.899
 stood before him.

00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:17.919
 These are numbers

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.299
 of perfection

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:20.759
 and completion

00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:21.639
 and power.

00:16:21.819 --> 00:16:22.799
 This is a vision

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:23.519
 of God

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.200
 the holy judge

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.180
 seated on his throne

00:16:27.180 --> 00:16:28.360
 in glory.

00:16:29.660 --> 00:16:30.280
 And in comparison

00:16:30.280 --> 00:16:31.280
 these beasts

00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:32.000
 don't look so big

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.620
 and bad now

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:32.980
 do they?

00:16:34.660 --> 00:16:35.660
 Unlike the scene

00:16:35.660 --> 00:16:36.100
 on earth

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:36.980
 where the waters

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.720
 raged

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.160
 and the image

00:16:39.160 --> 00:16:39.860
 was chaotic

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:40.800
 here in the throne

00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:41.560
 room of God

00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:42.879
 Revelation chapter 4

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.520
 you can turn there

00:16:43.520 --> 00:16:44.840
 another time

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.580
 after the service

00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:46.960
 Revelation chapter 4

00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.000
 it says the sea

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.280
 around the throne

00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:49.940
 of God

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:50.759
 in the throne room

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.360
 of the Lord

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.480
 the sea is

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.320
 calm like glass.

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.240
 like crystal.

00:16:57.740 --> 00:16:58.480
 That's a good reminder

00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.300
 for us isn't it

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:01.640
 that from our

00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:02.640
 vantage point

00:17:02.640 --> 00:17:04.920
 here on earth

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:05.860
 from our vantage point

00:17:05.860 --> 00:17:07.160
 here from the ground

00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:08.059
 everything seems

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:09.680
 to often look chaotic

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.779
 and things are

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:12.120
 often chaotic

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:13.960
 but we who know

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.460
 the Lord

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:14.940
 have been given

00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:15.759
 another perspective

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.220
 haven't we?

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.360
 We can look up

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:19.840
 and remember

00:17:19.840 --> 00:17:20.480
 that no matter

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.500
 what happens

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.620
 here on the ground

00:17:22.620 --> 00:17:23.539
 our God

00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:25.120
 is on his throne

00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:25.879
 reign

00:17:25.879 --> 00:17:27.339
 and ruling

00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:28.059
 in heaven

00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:29.000
 and in heaven

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.199
 at his throne

00:17:30.199 --> 00:17:32.679
 all is calm

00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:35.500
 this totally changes

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.819
 Daniel's understanding

00:17:36.819 --> 00:17:37.679
 of the first scene

00:17:37.679 --> 00:17:38.199
 doesn't it?

00:17:39.419 --> 00:17:41.459
 Without this second scene

00:17:41.459 --> 00:17:42.039
 from heaven

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:44.019
 there is no hope

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:44.779
 what hope is there?

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.619
 All hope is lost

00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:46.299
 he would say

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.139
 I'm here in Babylon

00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:47.899
 and you're telling me

00:17:47.899 --> 00:17:49.379
 that more evil

00:17:49.379 --> 00:17:50.139
 beastly kingdoms

00:17:50.139 --> 00:17:51.179
 are coming after this

00:17:51.179 --> 00:17:53.500
 here I am in exile

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:54.680
 in the first beast

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:54.960
 you're saying

00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:55.880
 I have three more

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:56.500
 to go here

00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:56.980
 and God says

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.819
 yes but Daniel

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:58.579
 I am holy

00:17:58.579 --> 00:18:00.400
 I am good

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.980
 I am sovereign

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:03.420
 I am just

00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:04.559
 I am God

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:06.160
 and these beasts

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.480
 will not have

00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:08.259
 the last word

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:11.140
 the ancient of days

00:18:11.140 --> 00:18:12.579
 takes his seat

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.119
 now it says

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:14.720
 the court

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.279
 sat in judgment

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:17.240
 and books

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.900
 were opened

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:20.600
 this chapter

00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:21.980
 is a courtroom

00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:22.660
 scene

00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:24.100
 some of you

00:18:24.100 --> 00:18:24.600
 like to watch

00:18:24.600 --> 00:18:25.640
 these courtroom

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.060
 legal drama

00:18:27.060 --> 00:18:28.220
 television shows

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:28.800
 it's too dramatic

00:18:28.800 --> 00:18:29.160
 for me

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:30.400
 and if you ever

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:30.880
 watched one

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:31.300
 you know that

00:18:31.300 --> 00:18:31.820
 at some point

00:18:31.820 --> 00:18:32.780
 a crime is committed

00:18:32.780 --> 00:18:33.720
 in that scene

00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:34.300
 in that moment

00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:35.420
 of the crime

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:35.900
 happening

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:36.720
 that criminal

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.880
 is terrifying

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:39.120
 they look dangerous

00:18:39.120 --> 00:18:40.420
 they look evil

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:41.460
 they look big and bad

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.040
 but then

00:18:42.040 --> 00:18:42.880
 when the moment comes

00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:43.560
 and they have to go

00:18:43.560 --> 00:18:44.580
 sit in a courtroom

00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:46.560
 maybe with their hands

00:18:46.560 --> 00:18:47.220
 cuffed

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.579
 and the judge

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:49.259
 comes

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:49.779
 and the judge

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:50.660
 takes his seat

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:51.120
 and the judge

00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:52.519
 opens up his book

00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:53.039
 and the judge

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.960
 prepares to give

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:54.640
 judgment

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.100
 they don't look so scary

00:18:56.100 --> 00:18:56.660
 at that moment

00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:57.039
 do they

00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.920
 in fact

00:18:58.920 --> 00:18:59.440
 that's a moment

00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.960
 of terror

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:01.220
 for them

00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:01.960
 it's an anxious

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:02.700
 moment

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:04.120
 what will the verdict

00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:05.019
 be

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.360
 and we

00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:06.600
 shouldn't move

00:19:06.600 --> 00:19:07.299
 quickly past

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:07.819
 this scene

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:08.559
 our God

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.680
 is a God

00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:11.200
 of infinite power

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.940
 he is

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:14.039
 perfect

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:15.319
 in holiness

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.480
 perfect

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.740
 in justice

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:18.200
 he is

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:19.120
 sovereignly

00:19:19.120 --> 00:19:19.579
 reigning

00:19:19.579 --> 00:19:20.299
 over all

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:20.799
 the earth

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.380
 our God

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:22.279
 is just

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:23.240
 he is the judge

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:23.819
 of all

00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:24.319
 the earth

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:26.019
 no sin

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:26.720
 will go

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.400
 unaddressed

00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:29.500
 every sin

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:30.960
 will be dealt

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:31.220
 with

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:32.059
 Romans 14

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:32.620
 12

00:19:32.620 --> 00:19:33.019
 it says

00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:33.880
 each one of us

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.779
 will give an account

00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:35.420
 of himself

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:36.640
 to God

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.880
 it's a sobering

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.620
 truth isn't it

00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:40.799
 God the holy

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:41.160
 judge

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.799
 sees

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:42.660
 all

00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:43.400
 and he

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:44.059
 will

00:19:44.059 --> 00:19:44.720
 bring

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.660
 justice

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:46.220
 which is

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:46.940
 why what

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:47.480
 Daniel sees

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:47.820
 next

00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:48.420
 really is no

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.220
 surprise at all

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:49.600
 is it

00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:51.120
 Daniel shifts

00:19:51.120 --> 00:19:51.680
 his eyes

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.440
 back to the

00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:52.940
 earth for a

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:53.160
 moment

00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:54.040
 and as that

00:19:54.040 --> 00:19:54.600
 big bad

00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:55.460
 terrifying horn

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:56.040
 is speaking

00:19:56.040 --> 00:19:56.360
 look what

00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:56.620
 happens

00:19:56.620 --> 00:19:56.980
 it's almost

00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.300
 like he's

00:19:57.300 --> 00:19:57.720
 in mid

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.259
 sentence

00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:58.640
 he's

00:19:58.640 --> 00:19:59.440
 speaking

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.259
 and poof

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:00.740
 what happens

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:01.640
 when God

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:02.040
 is ready

00:20:02.040 --> 00:20:02.460
 to render

00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:02.920
 judgment

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.580
 he is

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:04.019
 done

00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:05.220
 he's

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.600
 killed

00:20:05.600 --> 00:20:07.200
 instantly

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:07.680
 the body

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.259
 destroyed

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:08.620
 burned

00:20:08.620 --> 00:20:09.120
 with fire

00:20:09.120 --> 00:20:09.460
 he doesn't

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:10.080
 stand a

00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:10.880
 chance

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.280
 as for

00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:12.580
 the rest

00:20:12.580 --> 00:20:12.780
 of the

00:20:12.780 --> 00:20:13.120
 beasts

00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:13.420
 their

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:13.860
 dominion

00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:14.160
 was

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.700
 taken

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.140
 away

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.340
 but

00:20:15.340 --> 00:20:15.520
 their

00:20:15.520 --> 00:20:15.920
 lives

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.480
 prolonged

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:16.900
 for how

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:17.240
 long

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.180
 until the

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:18.420
 judge

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:18.820
 says

00:20:18.820 --> 00:20:19.300
 time

00:20:19.300 --> 00:20:20.660
 is up

00:20:20.660 --> 00:20:22.820
 this is a picture

00:20:22.820 --> 00:20:24.320
 of a sovereign

00:20:24.320 --> 00:20:25.300
 God

00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:26.040
 reigning

00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:27.160
 and ruling

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:27.880
 over his

00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:28.520
 creation

00:20:28.520 --> 00:20:29.080
 not a

00:20:29.080 --> 00:20:29.940
 moment of

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:30.300
 time

00:20:30.300 --> 00:20:30.680
 here in

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.180
 this chaotic

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:31.620
 world

00:20:31.620 --> 00:20:32.840
 is outside

00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:33.380
 of his

00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:33.860
 control

00:20:33.860 --> 00:20:34.400
 this is good

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:34.860
 news for

00:20:34.860 --> 00:20:35.160
 us

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.560
 church

00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:37.840
 this change

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:38.420
 of scenery

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:39.340
 changes

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:39.960
 everything

00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:40.660
 doesn't it

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:42.160
 the view

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.640
 from the

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:42.940
 air

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:43.640
 is completely

00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.360
 different

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:44.799
 from the

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.100
 view

00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:45.620
 from the

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:46.019
 ground

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.600
 we have

00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:46.840
 been

00:20:46.840 --> 00:20:47.480
 given

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:48.259
 the gift

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:49.160
 of knowing

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:49.819
 the ancient

00:20:49.819 --> 00:20:50.420
 of days

00:20:50.420 --> 00:20:51.920
 Christian

00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:52.279
 we have

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:52.680
 been given

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.160
 the gift

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:54.079
 of knowing

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.980
 that God

00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:55.600
 is on

00:20:55.600 --> 00:20:56.340
 his throne

00:20:56.340 --> 00:20:57.120
 sovereign

00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:58.279
 reigning

00:20:58.279 --> 00:20:59.519
 and ruling

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:01.400
 and yet

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:01.980
 far too

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.500
 often

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.240
 you and I

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.480
 we're

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.360
 we're guilty

00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:06.319
 of forgetting

00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:07.120
 this glorious

00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:07.700
 perspective

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.259
 aren't we

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:10.119
 far too

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.379
 often

00:21:10.379 --> 00:21:10.740
 we get

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.799
 so twisted

00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:12.420
 up about

00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:13.019
 what's going

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:13.420
 on here

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:13.619
 in the

00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:14.400
 first scene

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:14.920
 and the

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.660
 chaos here

00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:15.859
 in the

00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:16.299
 kingdom of

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:16.579
 man

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:16.960
 that we

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:17.619
 forget

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:18.000
 we take

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.500
 our eyes

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.000
 off of

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:19.500
 the second

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:19.960
 scene

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.279
 we take

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.759
 our eyes

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.180
 off of

00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:21.980
 the reign

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.460
 and rule

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:22.740
 of a

00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:23.079
 sovereign

00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:23.480
 God

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:24.019
 we forget

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:25.200
 to remember

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.960
 the perspective

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.519
 of God

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:26.920
 in heaven

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.660
 as he reigns

00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:28.099
 and rules

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:28.779
 over all

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:29.500
 things

00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:30.019
 which is why

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.859
 Paul has

00:21:30.859 --> 00:21:31.420
 to remind

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:31.759
 us

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.500
 set your

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:33.039
 mind

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.839

00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:34.500
 above

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:36.079
 where Christ

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:36.579
 is

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.599
 seated

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.019
 at the

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:38.279
 right

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:38.579
 hand

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:38.740
 of

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.000
 God

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.240
 set

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:39.399
 your

00:21:39.399 --> 00:21:40.220
 minds

00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:40.500
 there

00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:40.759
 at the

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:41.039
 throne

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.220
 of

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:41.500
 heaven

00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:42.579
 set

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:42.740
 your

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:43.199

00:21:43.199 --> 00:21:43.539
 there

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:43.879
 don't set

00:21:43.879 --> 00:21:43.980
 your

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:44.199
 minds

00:21:44.199 --> 00:21:44.359
 here

00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:44.659
 on the

00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.039
 beast

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.379
 you'll go

00:21:45.379 --> 00:21:45.839
 crazy

00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.799
 set

00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:47.000
 your

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.519
 minds

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.279
 in

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:48.579
 heaven

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:48.839
 our

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:49.339
 sovereign

00:21:49.339 --> 00:21:49.960
 God

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.599
 sits

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:51.199
 on his

00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:51.639
 throne

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:51.899
 in

00:21:51.899 --> 00:21:52.179
 heaven

00:21:52.179 --> 00:21:53.399
 and he

00:21:53.399 --> 00:21:54.399
 will triumph

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:55.039
 over the

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.399
 chaos

00:21:55.399 --> 00:21:56.199
 of this

00:21:56.199 --> 00:21:56.879
 world

00:21:56.879 --> 00:21:57.259
 and here

00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:57.539
 in verses

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:57.960
 13

00:21:57.960 --> 00:21:58.460
 and 14

00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:00.099
 he shows

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:00.339
 us

00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:00.839
 exactly

00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:01.539
 how

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:02.299
 he will

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:02.799
 do it

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.339
 how will

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:04.619
 God

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:05.059
 triumph

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:05.579
 over the

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:05.839
 kingdom

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:06.559
 of man

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:06.819
 look there

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.079
 to verses

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:07.519
 13

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.019
 and 14

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:10.079
 Daniel

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.339
 says

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:10.599
 again

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:11.079
 I saw

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:11.419
 in the

00:22:11.419 --> 00:22:11.639
 night

00:22:11.639 --> 00:22:12.099
 visions

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:12.759
 and behold

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:13.619
 with the

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:13.899
 clouds

00:22:13.899 --> 00:22:14.339
 of heaven

00:22:14.339 --> 00:22:14.799
 there came

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.179
 one

00:22:15.179 --> 00:22:15.720
 like a

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:15.960
 son

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.519
 of man

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:17.759
 and he

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.259
 came to

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:18.379
 the

00:22:18.379 --> 00:22:18.720
 ancient

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.399
 of days

00:22:19.399 --> 00:22:20.059
 and was

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:20.539
 presented

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.440
 before him

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:21.799
 and to

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.379
 him

00:22:22.379 --> 00:22:23.319
 was given

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.139
 dominion

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:25.399
 and glory

00:22:25.399 --> 00:22:26.179
 and a

00:22:26.179 --> 00:22:26.519
 kingdom

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:27.819
 that all

00:22:27.819 --> 00:22:28.359
 peoples

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:28.980
 nations

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:29.579
 and languages

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:30.359
 should serve

00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:30.799
 him

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.819
 his dominion

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:32.159
 is an

00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:32.679
 everlasting

00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:33.259
 dominion

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:33.559
 which shall

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:34.139
 not pass

00:22:34.139 --> 00:22:34.480
 away

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:35.240
 and his

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.559
 kingdom

00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:36.179
 is one

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:36.880
 that shall

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:37.759
 not be

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.940
 destroyed

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:39.320
 see the

00:22:39.320 --> 00:22:39.700
 plan

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:40.120
 now

00:22:40.120 --> 00:22:40.560
 is getting

00:22:40.560 --> 00:22:41.259
 clearer

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:42.000
 isn't it

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:43.240
 this

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:44.400
 this is how

00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:44.840
 God

00:22:44.840 --> 00:22:45.400
 wins

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:46.960
 this is how

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.259
 God

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:48.160
 conquers the

00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:48.420
 kingdom

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:48.880
 of man

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.380
 all of these

00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:49.759
 beasts

00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:50.360
 they fade

00:22:50.360 --> 00:22:50.720
 into the

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.140
 background

00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:51.740
 the worst

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:52.019
 of them

00:22:52.019 --> 00:22:52.880
 is destroyed

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.560
 and he

00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:54.240
 brings forth

00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:55.259
 his own

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:56.000
 kingdom

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.500
 totally

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:57.160
 unlike

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:57.759
 those four

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.200
 beastly

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:58.500
 kingdoms

00:22:58.500 --> 00:22:58.840
 that came

00:22:58.840 --> 00:22:59.360
 before it

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.359
 this

00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:00.799
 kingdom

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.219
 he says

00:23:01.219 --> 00:23:02.359
 is glorious

00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:03.939
 it is

00:23:03.939 --> 00:23:04.879
 universal

00:23:04.879 --> 00:23:05.799
 all tribes

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.379
 and languages

00:23:06.379 --> 00:23:07.000
 and nations

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.559
 and people

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.500
 it is

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.079
 eternal

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:09.399
 it will

00:23:09.399 --> 00:23:09.659
 never

00:23:09.659 --> 00:23:10.379
 pass away

00:23:10.379 --> 00:23:10.799
 it is

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.899
 undefeatable

00:23:11.899 --> 00:23:12.399
 it cannot

00:23:12.399 --> 00:23:13.379
 be destroyed

00:23:13.379 --> 00:23:15.000
 God has

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:15.799
 this glorious

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:16.199
 kingdom

00:23:16.199 --> 00:23:16.659
 and then he

00:23:16.659 --> 00:23:17.959
 gives this

00:23:17.959 --> 00:23:18.459
 kingdom

00:23:18.459 --> 00:23:19.179
 to one

00:23:19.179 --> 00:23:19.879
 Daniel says

00:23:19.879 --> 00:23:20.579
 like a

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.199
 son of

00:23:21.199 --> 00:23:21.699
 man

00:23:21.699 --> 00:23:23.159
 he's not

00:23:23.159 --> 00:23:23.779
 like the

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:24.199
 beast

00:23:24.199 --> 00:23:24.699
 that came

00:23:24.699 --> 00:23:25.199
 before him

00:23:25.199 --> 00:23:25.539
 is he

00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:26.619
 clearly

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:27.079
 he is

00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:27.899
 he's human

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.240
 he's

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:29.139
 true

00:23:29.139 --> 00:23:29.899
 humanity

00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:31.059
 and yet

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:31.220
 there's

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:31.819
 clear echoes

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:32.700
 of divinity

00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:33.200
 here as

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.399
 well

00:23:33.399 --> 00:23:33.819
 aren't there

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.059
 he's

00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:34.659
 coming

00:23:34.659 --> 00:23:35.099
 with the

00:23:35.099 --> 00:23:35.559
 clouds

00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:36.180
 of heaven

00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:36.440
 that's

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.759
 language

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.480
 that's

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:37.980
 reserved

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:38.539
 really only

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:38.940
 for God

00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:39.480
 himself

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:40.700
 Psalm

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:41.099
 104

00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:41.799
 verse 3

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.559
 this king

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:44.519
 he lives

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:45.079
 forever

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:45.619
 he's able

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:46.420
 to receive

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:47.159
 this glorious

00:23:47.159 --> 00:23:47.879
 eternal

00:23:47.879 --> 00:23:48.440

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:49.500

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:49.819

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.480

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:50.819
 of the

00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:52.740
 just

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.259

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.200
 the plan

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.920
 God

 this

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:44.500
 our heart

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:44.900
 ought to

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:45.799
 leap from

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.539
 our chest

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:47.200
 when we read

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:05.660
 good

00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:06.019
 if that's

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.619
 the inclination

00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:06.940
 of your

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:07.900
 good

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:08.140
 that's

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:08.379
 what you

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:08.920
 were made

00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:09.339
 for

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:10.299
 you are

00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:11.299
 welcome

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:11.759
 the truth

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:12.140
 is the

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:12.619
 invitation

00:25:12.619 --> 00:25:13.599
 to join

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.079
 the kingdom

00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:14.539
 of God

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:15.099
 is cast

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:16.059
 far and

00:25:16.059 --> 00:25:16.379
 wide

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:16.720
 if you

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.220
 want to

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.519
 come

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:17.859
 in

00:25:17.859 --> 00:25:18.059
 you

00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:18.299
 may

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:18.699
 come

00:25:18.699 --> 00:25:19.059
 in

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:19.899
 how

00:25:19.899 --> 00:25:20.959
 by

00:25:20.959 --> 00:25:21.500
 turning

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:21.719
 and

00:25:21.719 --> 00:25:22.259
 repenting

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.439
 of

00:25:22.439 --> 00:25:22.579
 your

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:23.259
 beastliness

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:24.759
 and bowing

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.199
 the knee

00:25:25.199 --> 00:25:25.539
 to the

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:25.859
 son of

00:25:25.859 --> 00:25:26.119
 man

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.039
 right now

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.679
 but now

00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:29.899
 let me

00:25:29.899 --> 00:25:30.159
 tell you

00:25:30.159 --> 00:25:30.419
 what that

00:25:30.419 --> 00:25:30.899
 might cost

00:25:30.899 --> 00:25:31.139
 you

00:25:31.139 --> 00:25:33.479
 you need

00:25:33.479 --> 00:25:34.000
 to understand

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.699
 exactly

00:25:34.699 --> 00:25:36.019
 what that

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:36.539
 will mean

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:37.439
 for you

00:25:37.439 --> 00:25:37.939
 because when

00:25:37.939 --> 00:25:38.500
 you become

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:39.199
 a citizen

00:25:39.199 --> 00:25:39.719
 of the

00:25:39.719 --> 00:25:40.000
 kingdom

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.939
 of God

00:25:40.939 --> 00:25:41.419
 you are

00:25:41.419 --> 00:25:42.039
 now an

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.679
 exile

00:25:42.679 --> 00:25:43.399
 in the

00:25:43.399 --> 00:25:43.639
 kingdom

00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:44.119
 of man

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:45.639
 and when

00:25:45.639 --> 00:25:46.079
 you become

00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:46.919
 a citizen

00:25:46.919 --> 00:25:47.339
 of the

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:47.619
 kingdom

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:48.419
 of God

00:25:48.419 --> 00:25:48.799
 guess what

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.199
 happens

00:25:49.199 --> 00:25:50.119
 you now

00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:50.759
 have entered

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:51.599
 into a

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.319
 war

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.939
 with the

00:25:52.939 --> 00:25:53.459
 powers of

00:25:53.459 --> 00:25:53.919
 darkness

00:25:53.919 --> 00:25:55.419
 you have

00:25:55.419 --> 00:25:56.119
 now entered

00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:56.759
 into a

00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.519
 war

00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:57.879
 that has

00:25:57.879 --> 00:25:58.559
 been won

00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.079
 the outcome

00:25:59.079 --> 00:25:59.879
 is decided

00:25:59.879 --> 00:26:01.739
 it's a war

00:26:01.739 --> 00:26:03.000
 that's worth

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.739
 fighting because

00:26:03.739 --> 00:26:04.719
 God himself

00:26:04.719 --> 00:26:05.919
 is worthy

00:26:05.919 --> 00:26:06.939
 but still

00:26:06.939 --> 00:26:07.639
 church it is a

00:26:07.639 --> 00:26:08.119
 war

00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.559
 Daniel

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.339
 considers all

00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:12.699
 of this

00:26:12.699 --> 00:26:13.059
 and when he

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:13.519
 sees these

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:13.779
 things

00:26:13.779 --> 00:26:14.419
 verse 15

00:26:14.419 --> 00:26:15.019
 it says that

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:16.039
 his spirit

00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:16.879
 was anxious

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:17.900
 within him

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:19.220
 he walked

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:19.660
 up to

00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:20.120
 one who

00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:20.700
 stood there

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:21.260
 most likely

00:26:21.260 --> 00:26:22.140
 this is an

00:26:22.140 --> 00:26:22.660
 angel

00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:24.460
 and he

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:24.880
 asks a

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.160
 really

00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:25.880
 good

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.740
 question

00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:27.800
 what

00:26:27.800 --> 00:26:28.540
 in the

00:26:28.540 --> 00:26:29.020
 world

00:26:29.020 --> 00:26:29.680
 have I

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.120
 just

00:26:30.120 --> 00:26:30.420
 seen

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:32.260
 what

00:26:32.260 --> 00:26:32.560
 does

00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:33.160
 all of

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:33.560
 this

00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:34.440
 mean

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:34.720
 and so

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:35.060
 he gives

00:26:35.060 --> 00:26:35.620
 a summary

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:36.500
 here

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:36.860
 of the

00:26:36.860 --> 00:26:37.140
 vision

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:37.500
 in verses

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.080
 19

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.400
 through

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:39.380
 28

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:39.640
 the

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:39.980
 angel

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:40.820
 he

00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:41.280
 summarizes

00:26:41.280 --> 00:26:41.660
 all of

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:41.840
 it in

00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:42.040
 two

00:26:42.040 --> 00:26:42.420
 sentences

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:42.779
 verses

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:43.500
 17

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:43.940
 and 18

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.360
 he says

00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:44.820
 these four

00:26:44.820 --> 00:26:45.200
 beasts

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:45.980
 are four

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:46.440
 kings

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:46.820
 who shall

00:26:46.820 --> 00:26:47.240
 arise

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.539
 out of

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:47.880
 the earth

00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:48.300
 we've seen

00:26:48.300 --> 00:26:48.680
 this

00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:49.740
 but the

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:50.240
 saints

00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:50.640
 of the

00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.340
 most high

00:26:51.340 --> 00:26:52.080
 shall receive

00:26:52.080 --> 00:26:52.740
 the kingdom

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.940
 and possess

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:55.080
 the kingdom

00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:55.779
 forever

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.880
 forever

00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:58.019
 and ever

00:26:58.019 --> 00:27:00.180
 but Daniel

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:00.580
 needs a little

00:27:00.580 --> 00:27:00.840
 bit more

00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:01.279
 explanation

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:01.700
 than that

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:02.259
 doesn't he

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:02.700
 he keeps

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:03.100
 pressing

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:03.500
 he wants

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:03.980
 to know

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:05.060
 what we

00:27:05.060 --> 00:27:05.560
 want to

00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:05.759
 know

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.080
 he wants

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:06.300
 to know

00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:06.759
 more about

00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.380
 this fourth

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:07.960
 beast

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:08.000
 beast

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.380
 tell me

00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:09.720
 more about

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.180
 these ten

00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:10.759
 horns

00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.880
 who now

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:12.860
 Daniel fills

00:27:12.860 --> 00:27:13.299
 in a little

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.600
 bit more

00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:13.779
 of the

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.279
 picture here

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:14.480
 of what

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:14.779
 he saw

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.160
 he says

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:16.079
 they had

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.700
 eyes and

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:17.059
 a mouth

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.559
 that spoke

00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:18.240
 great things

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:18.880
 and it

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:19.920
 made war

00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:20.460
 with the

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:20.900
 saints

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:22.340
 and prevailed

00:27:22.340 --> 00:27:22.960
 over them

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:23.720
 until the

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.220
 ancient of

00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:24.880
 days came

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:25.880
 and judgment

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.380
 was given

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:26.720
 for the

00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.079
 saints of

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:27.380
 the most

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:27.700
 high

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:27.920
 and the

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.539
 time came

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:29.000
 when they

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.579
 possessed

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.440
 the kingdom

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:31.200
 what does

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.000
 all of

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.420
 this

00:27:32.420 --> 00:27:33.640
 mean

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:35.860
 this fourth

00:27:35.860 --> 00:27:36.360
 beast

00:27:36.360 --> 00:27:36.779
 again

00:27:36.779 --> 00:27:38.460
 is Rome

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:40.079
 but I

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.539
 think that

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:41.099
 is clear

00:27:41.099 --> 00:27:41.879
 it extends

00:27:41.879 --> 00:27:42.879
 beyond

00:27:42.879 --> 00:27:43.519
 Rome

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.160
 these ten

00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:44.660
 horns

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:45.079
 that are

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.940
 coming up

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.440
 out of

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:46.960
 that ten

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.420
 beast

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:48.879
 that he

00:27:48.879 --> 00:27:49.240
 says are

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:50.119
 ten kings

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:50.579
 that shall

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:51.579
 arise out

00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:52.160
 of this

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:52.899
 beastly

00:27:52.899 --> 00:27:53.339
 kingdom

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:53.819
 now listen

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:54.599
 I don't

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:54.980
 know who

00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:55.379
 these ten

00:27:55.379 --> 00:27:55.859
 kings are

00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:57.779
 I don't

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:58.079
 know

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:58.759
 necessarily

00:27:58.759 --> 00:27:59.200
 that they

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:00.180
 are exactly

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:00.700
 ten

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:01.339
 literal

00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:02.019
 kings

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:02.440
 in fact

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:02.819
 I'm

00:28:02.819 --> 00:28:03.319
 inclined

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:03.819
 to say

00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:04.180
 again

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:04.779
 ten being

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:05.180
 a number

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:06.099
 of completion

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:07.139
 that this

00:28:07.139 --> 00:28:07.379
 is

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:08.139
 representative

00:28:08.139 --> 00:28:08.819
 of the

00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:09.399
 fullness

00:28:09.399 --> 00:28:10.459
 of the

00:28:10.459 --> 00:28:10.859
 wicked

00:28:10.859 --> 00:28:11.379
 kingdoms

00:28:11.379 --> 00:28:12.119
 in between

00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:12.539
 the two

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.919
 comings

00:28:12.919 --> 00:28:13.500
 of Christ

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:14.839
 Christ

00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:15.279
 enters

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:15.879
 into the

00:28:15.879 --> 00:28:16.119
 world

00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:16.500
 at the

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:17.059
 beginning

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:17.419
 of the

00:28:17.419 --> 00:28:17.740
 Roman

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:18.679
 empire

00:28:18.679 --> 00:28:19.039
 and

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:19.959
 there's

00:28:19.959 --> 00:28:20.439
 evil

00:28:20.439 --> 00:28:20.759
 and

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:21.679
 persecution

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:22.159
 and

00:28:22.159 --> 00:28:23.459
 wickedness

00:28:23.459 --> 00:28:24.139
 that extends

00:28:24.139 --> 00:28:24.579
 from the

00:28:24.579 --> 00:28:25.299
 first to the

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:26.059
 second coming

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.959
 of Christ

00:28:26.959 --> 00:28:27.500
 but at the

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:27.919
 end

00:28:27.919 --> 00:28:29.219
 out of that

00:28:29.219 --> 00:28:29.779
 legacy

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:30.740
 of evil

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.519
 one

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:32.039
 will

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:33.339
 arise

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:33.699
 a little

00:28:33.699 --> 00:28:34.059
 horn

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:35.179
 one

00:28:35.179 --> 00:28:35.879
 final

00:28:35.879 --> 00:28:37.279
 beastly

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.279
 king

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:38.559
 in verse

00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.079
 25

00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:40.579
 tells us

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:40.980
 what this

00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:41.500
 little horn

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:41.980
 is like

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.319
 it says

00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:42.700
 he will

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.339
 speak

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:44.119
 words

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.740
 against

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.019
 the

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:45.339
 most

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:45.960
 high

00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:47.679
 and he

00:28:47.679 --> 00:28:48.119
 will wear

00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:48.480
 out

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:49.339
 the saints

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:50.200
 of the

00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:50.819
 most high

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:52.379
 he will

00:28:52.379 --> 00:28:52.659
 think

00:28:52.659 --> 00:28:53.659
 to change

00:28:53.659 --> 00:28:54.299
 times

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:55.159
 and the

00:28:55.159 --> 00:28:55.539
 law

00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:55.919
 in other

00:28:55.919 --> 00:28:56.259
 words

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:57.839
 he will

00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:58.639
 blaspheme

00:28:58.639 --> 00:28:59.079
 God

00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:00.599
 he will

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:01.419
 persecute

00:29:01.419 --> 00:29:02.079
 the people

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:02.879
 of God

00:29:02.879 --> 00:29:04.019
 and he

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.500
 will try

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:04.859
 and make

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.399
 himself

00:29:05.399 --> 00:29:06.259
 be like

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:07.119
 God

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:07.419
 and it's

00:29:07.419 --> 00:29:08.000
 my belief

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:08.480
 that this

00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.460
 little horn

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:10.259
 is the

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:11.220
 antichrist

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:13.619
 Paul tells us

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:14.039
 in 2

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.740
 Thessalonians

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.299
 chapter 2

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.619
 he says

00:29:15.619 --> 00:29:16.000
 the return

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.480
 of Christ

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:17.199
 will not

00:29:17.199 --> 00:29:17.759
 come

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:18.199
 unless

00:29:18.199 --> 00:29:19.079
 the rebellion

00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:19.899
 comes first

00:29:19.899 --> 00:29:21.139
 and the man

00:29:21.139 --> 00:29:21.759
 of lawlessness

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:22.579
 is revealed

00:29:22.579 --> 00:29:23.019
 the son

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.699
 of destruction

00:29:23.699 --> 00:29:24.099
 who

00:29:24.099 --> 00:29:24.960
 opposes

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:26.639
 and exalts

00:29:26.639 --> 00:29:27.000
 himself

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:27.679
 against every

00:29:27.679 --> 00:29:28.240
 so called

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.659
 God

00:29:28.659 --> 00:29:29.179
 or object

00:29:29.179 --> 00:29:29.639
 of worship

00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:30.300
 so that he

00:29:30.300 --> 00:29:30.860
 takes his

00:29:30.860 --> 00:29:31.160
 seat

00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:31.500
 in the

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:31.759
 temple

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.259
 of God

00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:33.020
 proclaiming

00:29:33.020 --> 00:29:33.520
 himself

00:29:33.520 --> 00:29:34.620
 to be

00:29:34.620 --> 00:29:35.700
 God

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.320
 I believe

00:29:36.320 --> 00:29:36.860
 this is

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:37.660
 the antichrist

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.000
 now

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:39.800
 I cannot

00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:40.540
 think of

00:29:40.540 --> 00:29:41.520
 many more

00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:42.200
 topics

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.080
 that have

00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:44.400
 caused

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:45.480
 more wild

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.460
 speculation

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:47.920
 than the

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:48.640
 topic of

00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:49.620
 the antichrist

00:29:49.620 --> 00:29:51.580
 but we

00:29:51.580 --> 00:29:52.000
 don't need

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.840
 to speculate

00:29:52.840 --> 00:29:53.740
 the fact is

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.240
 God's word

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:54.759
 does not

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.400
 identify

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:56.160
 this man

00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:56.800
 of lawlessness

00:29:56.800 --> 00:29:58.200
 God's word

00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:58.500
 does not

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:58.980
 tell us

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.559
 who this

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:00.279
 little horn

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.779
 may be

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.200
 and so

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.019
 really we

00:30:02.019 --> 00:30:02.360
 need to be

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:03.220
 okay not

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:04.059
 knowing with

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:04.700
 certainty what

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.539
 God has not

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:06.500
 revealed to

00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:06.920
 us

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:08.640
 what it does

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:09.440
 say however

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:10.779
 is that his

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:12.180
 main weapons

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:12.700
 against the

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.099
 people of

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.299
 God

00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:13.620
 is not

00:30:13.620 --> 00:30:14.440
 physical

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:15.099
 threats

00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:15.720
 they are

00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:16.860
 his words

00:30:16.860 --> 00:30:17.360
 do you notice

00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:17.880
 what he

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:18.460
 continues to

00:30:18.460 --> 00:30:19.000
 say over

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:19.480
 and over

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:19.839
 and over

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:20.319
 again about

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:20.740
 this little

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:21.019
 horn

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:21.880
 he is

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.019
 speaking

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:24.420
 great things

00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:24.740
 you notice

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:24.980
 that

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.920
 he is

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.740
 speaking

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.680
 against the

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:28.360
 most high

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:29.179
 he is

00:30:29.179 --> 00:30:29.659
 wearing out

00:30:29.659 --> 00:30:30.119
 the saints

00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:30.639
 I believe

00:30:30.639 --> 00:30:31.359
 by constant

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:32.279
 deception

00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:33.399
 and pressure

00:30:33.399 --> 00:30:33.959
 to compromise

00:30:33.959 --> 00:30:34.539
 the truth

00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:35.240
 he is aiming

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.659
 to lead

00:30:35.659 --> 00:30:36.159
 these saints

00:30:36.159 --> 00:30:36.719
 away from

00:30:36.719 --> 00:30:37.799
 true worship

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.159
 how?

00:30:38.419 --> 00:30:39.439
 by deceiving

00:30:39.439 --> 00:30:39.979
 them with

00:30:39.979 --> 00:30:40.539
 lies

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.059
 and this is

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:42.000
 Satan's

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.379
 playbook

00:30:42.379 --> 00:30:42.639
 from the

00:30:42.639 --> 00:30:43.119
 very beginning

00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:43.599
 isn't it?

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:45.159
 he is

00:30:45.159 --> 00:30:45.619
 speaking

00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:46.159
 against

00:30:46.159 --> 00:30:46.740
 God

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.759
 to deceive

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:48.339
 the saints

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:48.639
 and to

00:30:48.639 --> 00:30:49.019
 distort

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:49.539
 the word

00:30:49.539 --> 00:30:50.599
 of God

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:50.959
 I love

00:30:50.959 --> 00:30:51.240
 how

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:52.459
 Andrew

00:30:52.459 --> 00:30:53.240
 Steinman

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.699
 puts it

00:30:53.699 --> 00:30:54.039
 he says

00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:54.339
 this

00:30:54.339 --> 00:30:55.279
 he says

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:55.779
 the kind

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:56.879
 of persecution

00:30:56.879 --> 00:30:58.240
 that is

00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.099
 most dangerous

00:30:59.099 --> 00:31:00.000
 for the saints

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.000
 is not

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.119
 some future

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:02.759
 worldwide

00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:03.460
 political

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:03.899
 ruler

00:31:03.899 --> 00:31:05.000
 who could

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.639
 deprive them

00:31:05.639 --> 00:31:06.059
 of earthly

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:06.619
 goods

00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:07.339
 limit

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:08.079
 commerce

00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:09.379
 require a

00:31:09.379 --> 00:31:09.759
 numerical

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.339
 mark on

00:31:10.339 --> 00:31:10.859
 their bodies

00:31:10.859 --> 00:31:11.319
 or even

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:11.839
 take their

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:12.240
 physical

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.779
 lives

00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:13.279
 instead

00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:14.819
 the most

00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:15.559
 dangerous

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:16.379
 persecution

00:31:16.379 --> 00:31:17.460
 is the

00:31:17.460 --> 00:31:18.220
 insidious

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:18.920
 corruption

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:19.559
 of the

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.059
 gospel

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:21.000
 of justification

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:21.539
 through

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:22.019
 Christ

00:31:22.019 --> 00:31:22.500
 alone

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:23.220
 and its

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.759
 replacement

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:24.640
 by a

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:24.960
 false

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.519
 gospel

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:26.259
 that mixes

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:26.880
 faith

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.680
 with works

00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:28.319
 and false

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:29.140
 spirituality

00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:32.059
 if that's

00:31:32.059 --> 00:31:32.440
 true

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.200
 then church

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:34.859
 the best

00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:35.779
 way to

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:36.779
 defend

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:37.440
 yourself

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:38.599
 against

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:39.579
 these attacks

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:40.059
 to defend

00:31:40.059 --> 00:31:40.380
 yourself

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:40.940
 against him

00:31:40.940 --> 00:31:41.960
 isn't to

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:42.480
 build a

00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:42.799
 bunker

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:44.980
 or to

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.279
 avoid

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:46.359
 microchips

00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:47.720
 or to

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.140
 make sure

00:31:48.140 --> 00:31:48.680
 that your

00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:49.140
 credit cards

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:49.539
 don't end

00:31:49.539 --> 00:31:50.240
 in 666

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.240
 but rather

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.599
 church

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:54.259
 to devote

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:55.059
 yourself

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:56.120
 to the

00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:56.759
 truth

00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:59.359
 remind

00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:00.299
 yourself

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:01.579
 of the

00:32:01.579 --> 00:32:02.180
 gospel

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:03.900
 build

00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:04.680
 your life

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:05.140
 on the

00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:05.779
 word

00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:06.680
 of God

00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:07.220
 meditate

00:32:07.220 --> 00:32:08.339
 on God's

00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:08.680
 word

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:09.539
 day and

00:32:09.539 --> 00:32:09.940
 night

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:11.079
 grow up

00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:11.539
 into

00:32:11.539 --> 00:32:12.079
 Christ

00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:12.339
 so that

00:32:12.339 --> 00:32:12.559
 you're not

00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:13.140
 tossed

00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:13.599
 to and

00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:13.779
 fro

00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:14.259
 by every

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.599
 wind

00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:15.319

 32

00:35:19.740 --> 00:35:20.180
 I

00:35:20.180 --> 00:35:20.340
 gotta

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.299
 freedom

00:35:58.299 --> 00:35:58.639
 he

 has

00:35:58.859 --> 00:35:59.279
 won

00:35:59.279 --> 00:35:59.679
 for

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:00.299
 us

00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:01.920
 question

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.500
 32

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:03.800
 but why

00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:04.300
 are you

00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:04.840
 called

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.840
 Christian

00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:07.519
 answer

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.060
 because by

00:36:09.060 --> 00:36:09.960
 faith I

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:10.340
 am a

00:36:10.340 --> 00:36:10.820
 member of

00:36:10.820 --> 00:36:11.280
 Christ

00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:12.460
 and so I

00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:13.260
 share his

00:36:13.260 --> 00:36:13.860
 anointing

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:14.920
 I am

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:15.640
 anointed to

00:36:15.640 --> 00:36:16.300
 confess his

00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:16.700
 name

00:36:16.700 --> 00:36:18.420
 to present

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:19.380
 myself to

00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:20.000
 him as a

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.039
 living sacrifice

00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:21.820
 of thanks

00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:23.200
 to strive with

00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:23.860
 good conscience

00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:24.600
 against sin

00:36:24.600 --> 00:36:25.100
 and the devil

00:36:25.100 --> 00:36:25.860
 in this life

00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:26.720
 and afterward

00:36:26.720 --> 00:36:27.620
 to reign

00:36:27.620 --> 00:36:28.420
 with Christ

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:29.099
 over all

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:29.700
 creation

00:36:29.700 --> 00:36:30.559
 for all

00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:31.579
 eternity

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:33.720
 God

00:36:33.720 --> 00:36:34.840
 has conquered

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.480
 the kingdom

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.159
 of man

00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:37.360
 by the

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:37.840
 son

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:38.579
 of man

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:39.139
 and soon

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:40.340
 he will

00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:40.940
 come again

00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:42.220
 to finish

00:36:42.220 --> 00:36:42.800
 what he

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:43.320
 started

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.119
 church

00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:46.840
 how then

00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:47.119
 should we

00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:47.920
 prepare ourselves

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:48.440
 for that

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:48.720
 day

00:36:48.720 --> 00:36:49.300
 three ways

00:36:49.300 --> 00:36:49.599
 as we

00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:49.920
 close

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:50.280
 one

00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:50.960
 do not

00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:51.300
 fear

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:51.840
 but hope

00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.440
 do not

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:53.800
 fear

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:55.200
 but hope

00:36:55.200 --> 00:36:55.840
 this light

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:56.700
 and momentary

00:36:56.700 --> 00:36:57.260
 affliction

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:58.099
 is preparing

00:36:58.099 --> 00:36:58.619
 for us

00:36:58.619 --> 00:36:59.159
 an eternal

00:36:59.159 --> 00:36:59.679
 weight of

00:36:59.679 --> 00:36:59.980
 glory

00:36:59.980 --> 00:37:00.539
 beyond

00:37:00.539 --> 00:37:00.920
 all

00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:01.480
 comparison

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:01.819
 as we

00:37:01.819 --> 00:37:02.000
 look

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:02.539
 not to

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:02.880
 the things

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.179
 that are

00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:03.619
 seen

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:03.920
 but to

00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:04.400
 the things

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:04.880
 that are

00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:05.659
 unseen

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:06.279
 do not

00:37:06.279 --> 00:37:06.719
 fear

00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.799
 but hope

00:37:07.799 --> 00:37:08.559
 do not

00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:09.159
 worry

00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:09.940
 but trust

00:37:09.940 --> 00:37:11.659
 do not

00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:12.360
 worry

00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.900
 but trust

00:37:13.900 --> 00:37:15.019
 remember

00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:16.440
 whatever

00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:17.400
 the chaos

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:18.159
 of the moment

00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:19.159
 happens to be

00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:19.699
 whatever the

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:20.920
 chaos is happening

00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:21.400
 in the kingdom

00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:21.900
 of man

00:37:21.900 --> 00:37:22.440
 remember that

00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:23.139
 in the throne

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:24.059
 room of God

00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:25.420
 all is

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:26.219
 calm

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:27.879
 the son

00:37:27.879 --> 00:37:28.239
 of man

00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:29.059
 has conquered

00:37:29.059 --> 00:37:30.779
 and lastly

00:37:30.779 --> 00:37:31.339
 do not

00:37:31.339 --> 00:37:31.879
 wait

00:37:31.879 --> 00:37:33.439
 but bow

00:37:33.439 --> 00:37:33.779
 the knee

00:37:33.779 --> 00:37:34.099
 to king

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:34.399
 Jesus

00:37:34.399 --> 00:37:35.019
 right now

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:37.299
 fix your

00:37:37.299 --> 00:37:37.779
 eyes on

00:37:37.779 --> 00:37:38.099
 Jesus

00:37:38.099 --> 00:37:39.599
 right now

00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:40.779
 prepare
