00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.500
 I want to encourage you to turn to Daniel chapter 7. Providentially, we're here in Daniel chapter 7.

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:22.000
! There was supposed to be another message, another person preaching on this day, and we weren't going to actually cover Daniel chapter 7.

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:29.379
 Quite honestly, I was trying to avoid all of the apocalyptic literature. That is just a confession.

00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:39.700
 I wanted to stay in the spaces that were a little bit easier, but here we are. We're in Daniel chapter 7, and we're going to try to kind of bring the theme of Daniel 7 to 12,

00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:49.620
 which really speaks about this coming kingdom, this eternal kingdom of God, kind of bringing it home to us and provide some implications.

00:00:49.619 --> 00:01:00.219
 What does it mean that the Ancient of Days is establishing his throne? Why does it matter that the Son of Man is the one who is receiving this kingdom?

00:01:00.539 --> 00:01:02.439
 What does that do for us in the here and now?

00:01:03.379 --> 00:01:08.799
 And really, providentially, this is the theme that kind of runs its way through the entire book of Daniel.

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:19.879
 Daniel, and so here we are. We're at Daniel chapter 7, and it will be, I trust, a blessing to all of us as we come to remember who God is

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.959
 and what God plans to do in establishing his kingdom on the earth.

00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:32.579
 You know, the world has been fascinated by the future. It's always been fascinated with what is coming, what's going to happen,

00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:36.719
 what do we know is going to be taking place in the future here?

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:45.840
 Every age has been marked by those who have had, or at least assumed to have, some ability to forecast the future.

00:01:46.539 --> 00:01:52.799
 From ancient Greece, it was a priestess who prophesied at a place called Pytho.

00:01:53.500 --> 00:02:01.500
 In the 1500s, it was a man named Nostradamus who seemed to predict the London fire or the French Revolution.

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:08.259
 In the 1900s, a woman rose to prominence. Her name was Jean Dixon.

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:13.599
 And she is said to have been able to predict the JFK assassination.

00:02:14.379 --> 00:02:18.400
 She advised President Roosevelt during World War II and also Richard Nixon.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.479
 Oprah says that she was instrumental in forecasting her rise to fame.

00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:34.359
 But the question is, was she really the kind of forecaster that is worth trusting?

00:02:35.299 --> 00:02:43.199
 In 1964, she assured her readers that the war in Vietnam would be over in 1965, just a year later.

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:49.939
 When it wasn't over in 1965, she predicted it was going to happen and finish in 1966.

00:02:49.939 --> 00:02:53.620
 When it didn't happen in 1966, she gave up.

00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:59.259
 And 10 years later, in 1975, the Vietnam War finally came to conclusion.

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.740
 In 1958, she predicted that in that year, Red China and the United States would be at war with each other.

00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:12.240
 And here we are, some 60 plus years later, and still not at war.

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:18.659
 In 1959, she predicted that Red China would be admitted to the United Nations.

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:23.700
 That wouldn't happen for another 12 years until 1971.

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:31.080
 In 1964, she predicted that Walter Ruther would be the candidate for president.

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.760
 Well, he didn't even run for president.

00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:41.000
 In February of 1968, she predicted that the Democratic nominee for president would be Lyndon Johnson.

00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:43.079
 It was actually Hubert Humphrey.

00:03:44.019 --> 00:03:49.719
 In 1968, she predicted that before the election, Dean Rusk would resign as Secretary of State.

00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:51.120
 He didn't.

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:56.739
 In 1967, she predicted that there would be a cure for cancer in that year.

00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.180
 And on and on it went.

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:04.140
 I suppose that you make enough predictions, eventually one of them will come true.

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:08.640
 But we are a people who are fascinated by the future.

00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:12.099
 Weather, in particular.

00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:14.879
 We want to know what this coming week is going to be.

00:04:14.939 --> 00:04:17.800
 Is it going to be cooler or is it going to continue to be warm?

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:22.980
 We have things like the Farmer's Almanac that seeks to predict weather patterns.

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:26.540
 And what will this next season look like?

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:34.480
 We have things like Groundhog Day to predict whether winter will last longer or spring will come sooner.

00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.320
 Of course, we have predictions about investments or predictions about sports.

00:04:40.700 --> 00:04:44.660
 Many of you probably are part of things like March Madness.

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.939
 We really want to know what the future holds.

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:55.020
 Some of us even really enjoy those fortune cookies at Chinese restaurants.

00:04:55.019 --> 00:04:57.779
 What does my fortune have for me today?

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:01.439
 We want to know what's coming.

00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:04.319
 We want to anticipate this future.

00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:06.979
 We want to make sense of the uncertainty.

00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:13.359
 And what we're going to find in our passage today in the book of Daniel is that God will lay out,

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:19.459
 once again, this pattern of future events for Daniel that are history for us.

00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:26.819
 And he lays them out in such specificity that it is without question the word of God.

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:33.699
 And God has come to demonstrate his integrity of not only knowing what the future holds,

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:37.560
 but being able to work out the details of the future.

00:05:38.159 --> 00:05:46.500
 It is this single fact that helps to establish and to distinguish God from any other supernatural being.

00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:51.620
 In Isaiah chapter 46, verses 9 and 10, God says this of himself.

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.160
 He says,

00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.079
 Remember the former things of old, for I am God.

00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.199
 There is no other.

00:05:57.779 --> 00:05:58.420
 I am God.

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:05.360
 There is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done,

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:06.300
 saying,

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:07.980
 My counsel shall stand.

00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:12.300
 I will accomplish all my purposes.

00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:15.920
 It is God's predictive power,

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.920
 his knowledge of the future,

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:20.560
 and his ability to work those details out

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.920
 that helps to establish,

00:06:22.460 --> 00:06:23.560
 once and for all,

00:06:23.780 --> 00:06:25.280
 that God is who he says he is.

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:27.699
 God is the God in heaven.

00:06:28.340 --> 00:06:29.340
 He is the one true God.

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:30.319
 The only God.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.500
 And as we'll see in our passage today,

00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:35.019
 these predictions,

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:37.280
 these promises that God makes

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:39.480
 will begin to come to fruition.

00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.740
 Things that were predicted 2,500 years ago

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:46.160
 and hundreds of years before they actually occurred

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.120
 help to demonstrate that God is who he says he is.

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:55.000
 As we come to our passage this morning in Daniel chapter 7,

00:06:55.640 --> 00:07:00.000
 we're going to begin to see this rise and fall of empires.

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:02.759
 The rise and fall of empires

00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.040
 that will begin here in verse 1

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.360
 and kind of sets the context for us.

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.460
 I'm not going to read all of these verses

00:07:09.460 --> 00:07:11.680
 but help to describe them for us

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.020
 as we move along the way.

00:07:13.900 --> 00:07:15.600
 The rise and fall of empires.

00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:18.060
 First, in verse 1, it says this,

00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:21.100
 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon,

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:25.259
 Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:26.480
 as he lay in his bed.

00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:28.780
 Then he wrote down the dream

00:07:28.780 --> 00:07:31.060
 and told the sum of the matter.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.420
 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon.

00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.180
 Now, right here at the very beginning of our time together,

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.080
 we need to kind of pause mentally

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:46.000
 because as we were in Daniel chapter 6 last week,

00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:48.300
 we were now in the Persian empire

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:50.240
 and Darius was the king.

00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.800
 Now, all of a sudden, we're going back in history

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.319
 and Daniel's beginning to spell out this promise,

00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.160
 this vision that he receives

00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.520
 during this first year of Belshazzar.

00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:02.980
 We're back in the Babylonian empire.

00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:06.360
 We're back underneath the reign of Belshazzar.

00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:11.020
 Nebuchadnezzar would reign from 605 to 562,

00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:13.740
 about 42, 43 years.

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:17.439
 And the subsequent kings that would come after him,

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.860
 finally leading to Nabonidus,

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:22.860
 who was Belshazzar's father,

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:27.800
 Nabonidus would reign for about 17 years in total,

00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.600
 but in his third reign,

00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.759
 Belshazzar would become his co-regent.

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:36.700
 So we're about 14 years away

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:40.480
 from Daniel chapter 6 moving back in history,

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:43.019
 about 14 years into history.

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:45.480
 The book of Daniel is silent

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.320
 about what Daniel has done during this time.

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.560
 We do get a glimpse of the fact

00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:54.940
 that he was a part of some sort of

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:56.620
 administrative responsibilities.

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:59.620
 We look at Daniel chapter 8, verse 27,

00:08:59.899 --> 00:09:03.220
 and it suggests that he was about the king's business.

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.779
 But for all intents and purposes,

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.940
 Daniel has faded into the background.

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:11.960
 Daniel has almost been driven into obscurity.

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.060
 His faithfulness to serve the king's business

00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:15.840
 is still evident,

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:19.460
 but he is not in the forefront as he was before.

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.259
 This is important for us to consider

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:23.820
 right at the outset of our time together.

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:26.740
 It's important for us to recognize

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:30.220
 that God has other plans for Daniel

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:33.260
 during this at least 14-year stretch,

00:09:33.420 --> 00:09:35.980
 and probably as long as 23 years.

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.100
 It's been 23 years since Nebuchadnezzar

00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:42.060
 ceased from power.

00:09:42.900 --> 00:09:44.379
 But it's important to note

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:47.840
 that while Daniel is removed from position,

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:52.200
 Daniel is not removed from usefulness.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.100
 Daniel might not be in the forefront,

00:09:56.300 --> 00:09:57.960
 but God has plans for Daniel,

00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.340
 how to use Daniel instrumentally

00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:02.120
 during this season.

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.200
 Daniel in chapter 7 to 12

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.840
 will have a series of visions

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.440
 that will be significant

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.399
 to kind of paint the timeline

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.519
 of future kingdoms that will rise and fall.

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.179
 And what we find from chapter 7 to 12

00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:18.159
 is these visions and interpretations

00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.600
 that spell out these subsequent kingdoms

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.579
 leading ultimately to the kingdom of God,

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.899
 this eternal kingdom that is in view.

00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:29.779
 God sends this confirming word to Daniel

00:10:29.779 --> 00:10:33.299
 regarding God's future reign,

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:36.679
 a reign that he has already revealed

00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.879
 in some measure to Nebuchadnezzar

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.240
 back in Daniel chapter 2,

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.220
 this vision of this image

00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:43.899
 that is glistening in the sun

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.220
 with all of these metallic properties.

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.620
 Now confirming this testimony

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:52.320
 to Daniel here in chapter 7

00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:53.899
 using different symbols.

00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.879
 The timing of this vision is significant.

00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.960
 About 180 years before this vision,

00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:01.720
 the northern ten tribes

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.100
 were essentially decimated

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:04.860
 and captured and absorbed

00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:06.620
 into the Assyrian Empire.

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.060
 And now here are the remaining two tribes

00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:12.579
 of Judah and Benjamin in captivity

00:11:12.579 --> 00:11:13.739
 now in Babylon.

00:11:14.839 --> 00:11:15.759
 It would have been very easy

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.299
 for those living in exile to think,

00:11:19.079 --> 00:11:22.379
 has God's promises to his people failed?

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.739
 Is God able to make good on his word

00:11:26.739 --> 00:11:28.759
 to Abraham and to David?

00:11:29.459 --> 00:11:31.699
 Has God forgotten about us?

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.139
 Does God really care about our situation?

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.039
 And God will reveal this vision to Daniel

00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.319
 not only to confirm his word from the past,

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.419
 but to help encourage and establish

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:46.639
 this continuing promise

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.219
 of God establishing his kingdom

00:11:49.219 --> 00:11:51.240
 sometime in the future.

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.559
 His word has not failed.

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.179
 Daniel 2 will describe

00:11:57.179 --> 00:12:00.480
 the various kingdoms that will rise and fall,

00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.959
 Babylon being the head of gold,

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.559
 Media Persia being the arms and chest of silver,

00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.179
 Greece being the waist and thighs of bronze,

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:12.659
 and Rome being the legs of iron.

00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.659
 And now transitioning to Daniel chapter 7.

00:12:17.219 --> 00:12:19.919
 Those same kingdoms in the same order

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.939
 are now described in a different way.

00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.279
 We find in verse 4 of chapter 7,

00:12:24.359 --> 00:12:26.259
 notice Babylon that's described

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:28.519
 as the lion with eagle's wings.

00:12:29.699 --> 00:12:31.519
 In verse 5, Media Persia

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.299
 is described as a bear

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:35.000
 raised up on one side

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.120
 with ribs in his mouth.

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.279
 Greece is described in verse 6

00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.939
 as a leopard with four wings and four heads.

00:12:41.319 --> 00:12:42.459
 Rome, in verse 7,

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:44.699
 is described as a beast with iron teeth

00:12:44.699 --> 00:12:46.639
 which devoured and broke in pieces

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.179
 and crushed everything with its feet.

00:12:50.579 --> 00:12:52.240
 The section concludes with verse 8.

00:12:53.199 --> 00:12:54.839
 In verse 8 of chapter 7,

00:12:54.939 --> 00:12:55.339
 we find,

00:12:55.339 --> 00:12:56.939
 I considered the horns

00:12:56.939 --> 00:12:59.439
 and behold there came up among them

00:12:59.439 --> 00:13:00.579
 another horn.

00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:03.639
 One little horn before which

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.180
 three of the first horns

00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:06.900
 were plucked up by the roots.

00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:08.160
 And behold,

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.160
 in this horn

00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:11.320
 were eyes like the eyes of men

00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.500
 and a mouth speaking great things.

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:18.240
 This horn represents this future leader.

00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:20.160
 A future leader

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:22.340
 of this future kingdom

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:24.700
 who has eyes of a man

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:26.940
 which helped indicate his wisdom,

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:30.300
 helped indicate his intellectual superiority,

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:32.920
 his genius, as it were,

00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:36.379
 and his mouth that speaks great things.

00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:39.500
 His ability to influence with words,

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.800
 to articulate and to capture attention.

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:45.900
 His ability to wow the crowd, as it were,

00:13:46.020 --> 00:13:47.360
 to gain a following

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.740
 so that the entire world

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:51.340
 seems to be under his sway.

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.220
 Meanwhile,

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.180
 while all of this is taking place

00:13:56.180 --> 00:13:58.379
 on the earth through these kingdoms,

00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:01.159
 we find this hurry

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.879
 and activity

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:02.840
 on the earth

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.840
 is now contrasted

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:06.240
 by this calmness

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:06.919
 and activity

00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:08.299
 that's taking place

00:14:08.299 --> 00:14:08.720
 in heaven.

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:10.519
 And that's our next major point

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:11.000
 this morning

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:11.899
 where we're going to spend

00:14:11.899 --> 00:14:12.840
 the bulk of our time.

00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:13.720
 We're going to see now

00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:15.179
 the glorious king

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:16.519
 and his coming kingdom.

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:18.159
 The glorious king

00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:19.039
 and his coming kingdom

00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:19.860
 beginning

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:21.100
 in verse 9.

00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:21.620
 Notice,

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:23.539
 As I looked,

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:25.240
 thrones were placed

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:26.200
 and the Ancient of Days

00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.379
 took his seat.

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.399
 His clothing was white as snow.

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:31.039
 The hair of his head

00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:32.179
 like pure wool.

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.720
 His throne was fiery flames.

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:36.860
 Its wheels were burning fire.

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:38.940
 A stream of fire issued

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:41.060
 and came out from before him.

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.620
 A thousand thousands served him

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:46.039
 and ten thousand times ten thousand

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:47.220
 stood before him.

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:50.220
 The court sat in judgment

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:52.440
 and the books were opened.

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.860
 As we make our way through

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:56.500
 these next several verses,

00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:58.279
 I want to just draw attention

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.820
 to the various features

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:01.080
 of this king

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.620
 and the various features

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:03.460
 of his kingdom

00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:04.680
 moving through them

00:15:04.680 --> 00:15:05.420
 one by one.

00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:06.740
 We see there

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:08.100
 at the beginning of verse 9

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:08.879
 his throne.

00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:09.820
 His throne.

00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.160
 As I looked,

00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:12.820
 thrones were placed.

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:14.899
 It says right there

00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:15.399
 at the beginning.

00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:17.779
 These thrones that were placed

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:20.500
 is in the intensive form

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.480
 of the grammar.

00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:23.600
 This action that has happened

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.559
 in the past

00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.620
 that has present

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:27.620
 and future results.

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.319
 Immediately we come to understand

00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:32.120
 that whatever is taking place

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:32.559
 in heaven

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.179
 seems to be independent,

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:35.959
 seems to be removed

00:15:35.959 --> 00:15:36.840
 from the things

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:37.779
 that are taking place

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:38.720
 on the earth.

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:40.279
 That whatever kingdom

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.500
 is taking place

00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:42.759
 and being established

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.759
 in heaven

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:45.379
 is not built upon

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:46.000
 the kingdoms

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.879
 of the earth

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.159
 but is separate.

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:48.980
 It's removed.

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.419
 It's not built

00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:52.460
 on the previous kingdom.

00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:54.100
 It's not a throne

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.860
 that had been

00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:56.419
 previously occupied.

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:58.439
 It's not a kingdom

00:15:58.439 --> 00:15:59.139
 that has been overthrown

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.700
 in any way

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.840
 and a new power

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:02.539
 has come.

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.759
 This kingdom

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.200
 is being established

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:05.919
 separately.

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.740
 this kingdom

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.719
 and this throne

00:16:08.719 --> 00:16:09.779
 that's set up

00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:11.240
 seems to always

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.120
 have been waiting

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:13.199
 for the right time

00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:14.379
 and the right place

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:15.059
 and now

00:16:15.059 --> 00:16:17.139
 in Daniel chapter 7

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:18.019
 the time

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:18.860
 is right.

00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:20.600
 you get the sense

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:20.960
 that whatever

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.800
 is happening here

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:22.580
 is happening

00:16:22.580 --> 00:16:24.019
 independent of the situations

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:25.120
 that are taking place

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:25.600
 on earth

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.259
 but as those things

00:16:27.259 --> 00:16:27.860
 are happening

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:29.300
 now the right time

00:16:29.300 --> 00:16:29.759
 has come

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.879
 for this king

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.899
 to establish

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:32.820
 his throne.

00:16:33.659 --> 00:16:34.080
 The throne

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.980
 is being put in place

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:36.039
 and the ancient of days

00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.580
 will take his seat

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:38.259
 as we find

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:39.820
 in the next part

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:40.899
 of verse 9.

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.879
 First his throne

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:44.100
 and now his name

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:45.680
 the ancient of days.

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.220
 As I look

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:48.159
 thrones were placed

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.100
 the ancient of days

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:50.100
 took his seat.

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.459
 This title

00:16:51.459 --> 00:16:53.579
 has obvious implications.

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.539
 Refers to his

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:56.500
 eternality

00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:57.740
 of this king.

00:16:58.079 --> 00:16:58.659
 It refers

00:16:58.659 --> 00:17:00.379
 to only God himself

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:01.339
 as the ancient

00:17:01.339 --> 00:17:02.059
 of days.

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.600
 Before the beginning

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.079
 of the world

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.500
 his pre-existing

00:17:05.500 --> 00:17:06.480
 quality

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:07.639
 his authority

00:17:07.639 --> 00:17:08.940
 this king

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:09.700
 now comes

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.359
 into the forefront.

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.240
 Of course we know

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:13.220
 that God's authority

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:13.799
 his reign

00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:14.440
 on the earth

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.559
 has been established

00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:16.680
 since the beginning

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.539
 of creation.

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.519
 that God

00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:19.059
 has always

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.799
 been the one

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.119
 to oversee

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.319
 and to provide

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:22.920
 authority

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:24.359
 over all the earth.

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:24.940
 We find that

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.960
 throughout the entire

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.940
 Old Testament

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:28.599
 but especially

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:29.599
 in the Psalms.

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.740
 Psalm 45

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:32.379
 verse 6

00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:32.859
 will point

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:34.039
 to the enduring

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.680
 quality

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.680
 of God's throne

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.039
 and he says

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.480
 your throne

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:36.839
 oh God

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.879
 is forever

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:38.960
 and ever

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:39.639
 the scepter

00:17:39.639 --> 00:17:40.480
 of your kingdom

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.680
 is a scepter

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.259
 in response

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:36.980
 says this

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:37.940
 woe is me

00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:38.779
 for I am lost

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.640

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.580
 of unclean lips

00:18:40.580 --> 00:18:41.240
 and I dwell

00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:42.060
 in the midst

00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:42.560
 of a people

00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:43.420
 of unclean lips

 of days

00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:08.480
 from the very

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:08.940
 beginning

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:10.019
 the enduring

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.200
 from before

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:20.720
 the world

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.660
 even began

00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:23.180
 now the

00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:24.100
 ancient of days

00:19:24.100 --> 00:19:24.720

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:25.759
 his place

00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:26.460
 on his throne

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:27.019
 the time

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.779
 has come

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.259
 for him

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.980
 to exert

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.680
 his authority

00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.799
 in a real

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:32.000
 intangible

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:32.580
 way

00:19:32.580 --> 00:19:34.440

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.340
 ancient of days

00:19:35.340 --> 00:19:36.460
 in the next

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:36.960
 couple verses

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:37.480
 will see

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.120
 several

00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:38.480
 of the

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:38.960
 features

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.819
 of his

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:44.960
 it says

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.500
 I looked

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.840
 the throne

00:19:46.840 --> 00:19:47.519
 were placed

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:47.799
 and the

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.420
 ancient of days

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.160
 took his seat

00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.079
 his clothing

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.579
 was white

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:51.200
 as snow

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:51.819
 the hair

00:19:51.819 --> 00:19:52.340
 of his head

00:19:52.340 --> 00:19:53.240
 like pure wool

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:54.279
 his throne

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:55.559
 was a fiery flame

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.600
 its wheels

00:19:56.600 --> 00:19:57.100
 were burning

00:19:57.100 --> 00:19:57.640
 fire

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.039
 a stream

00:19:59.039 --> 00:19:59.440
 of fire

00:19:59.440 --> 00:19:59.779
 issued

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:00.180
 and came

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:00.559
 out from

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.059
 before him

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:01.900
 a thousand

00:20:01.900 --> 00:20:02.620
 thousands

00:20:02.620 --> 00:20:03.380
 served him

00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:04.039
 and ten

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.620
 thousand

 the court

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.100
 sat in judgment

00:20:09.100 --> 00:20:09.640
 the books

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:10.720
 were opened

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.280
 these features

00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:12.880
 of the

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.560

00:20:13.560 --> 00:20:14.120
 that we'll touch

00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:15.040
 on just

00:20:15.040 --> 00:20:15.500
 briefly

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:16.480
 first his

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:17.000
 clothing

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.960
 that points

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:19.340
 to his

00:20:19.340 --> 00:20:19.840
 perfection

00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:20.500
 to his

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:20.980
 righteousness

00:20:20.980 --> 00:20:22.000
 his clothing

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.080
 was white

00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:23.860
 as snow

00:20:23.860 --> 00:20:25.640
 symbolizing

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:33.759
 as snow

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.440
 we're familiar

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.180
 with this phrase

00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:36.120
 lifted out

00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:37.060
 of Psalm 51

00:20:37.060 --> 00:20:37.759
 verse 7

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:38.560
 that speaks

00:20:38.560 --> 00:20:39.320
 to purity

00:20:39.320 --> 00:20:40.680
 purge me

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:41.259
 with hyssop

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:42.060
 and I shall

00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:42.480
 be clean

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.220
 wash me

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:44.060
 and I shall

00:20:44.060 --> 00:20:44.940
 be whiter

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.779
 than snow

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:47.240
 all

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.299
 that God

 does

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.519
 key components

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.279
 of his kingdom

00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:00.640
 in contrast

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.680
 with the kingdoms

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.860
 of this world

 stands as a

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.780
 core component

00:21:07.780 --> 00:21:08.940
 of his kingdom

 and justice

00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:17.320
 are the foundations

00:21:17.320 --> 00:21:18.280
 of your throne

00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:21.560
 and faithfulness

00:21:21.560 --> 00:21:23.280
 go before you

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:37.840
 his hair

00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:39.360
 now points

00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:40.240
 to his wisdom

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.039
 also purity

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:43.220
 is coming through

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:43.740
 but

00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:45.299
 it's amplifying

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:46.680
 the significant

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:47.880
 point of his wisdom

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.380
 as well

00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:49.740
 the hair of his head

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:51.140
 like pure wool

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:52.500
 the image

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:53.160
 of this ancient

00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:53.580
 of days

00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:54.740
 having pure

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:55.539
 white hair

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:56.140
 is similar

00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:57.100
 to the picture

00:21:57.100 --> 00:21:57.600
 that we get

00:21:57.600 --> 00:21:58.320
 in Revelation

00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.599
 chapter 1

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.419
 verse 14

00:22:00.419 --> 00:22:01.659
 speaking of Christ

00:22:01.659 --> 00:22:02.419
 so that Christ

00:22:02.419 --> 00:22:03.039
 in the ancient

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:03.519
 of days

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:04.939
 shared this quality

00:22:04.939 --> 00:22:06.579
 the hairs of his head

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:07.039
 were white

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:07.759
 like wool

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.740
 like snow

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.480
 his eyes

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:10.619
 were like a flame

00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:11.139
 of fire

00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:12.319
 and throughout

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:12.980
 the Proverbs

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:14.259
 we come to understand

00:22:14.259 --> 00:22:15.240
 the significance

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:16.460
 of a white

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:17.220
 or a gray

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:17.659
 head

00:22:17.659 --> 00:22:18.839
 that resembles

00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:20.539
 this elderly

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.500
 individual

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:22.439
 and the wisdom

00:22:22.439 --> 00:22:23.240
 that they have

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:24.859
 and all throughout

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:25.960
 the book of Daniel

00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.120
 we see attention

00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:27.900
 that is drawn

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:29.420
 to the wisdom

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:30.380
 and knowledge

00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:31.319
 and understanding

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.299
 of the God

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:35.180
 of Jacob

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:37.140
 Daniel chapter 2

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:38.779
 verses 20 to 22

00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:40.799
 this is in response

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.380
 to Daniel

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:42.279
 Daniel has asked

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.039
 for the interpretation

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:45.720
 of Nebuchadnezzar's dream

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.539
 and when God reveals

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:48.680
 this interpretation

00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.519
 Daniel praises God

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:51.220
 with this prayer

00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:52.200
 notice he says

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.539
 he answers and says

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:55.100
 blessed be the name

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:56.579
 of God forever and ever

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:58.359
 to whom belong

00:22:58.359 --> 00:22:59.799
 wisdom and might

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:01.419
 he changes times

00:23:01.419 --> 00:23:02.079
 and seasons

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:03.379
 he removes kings

00:23:03.379 --> 00:23:04.399
 and sets up kings

00:23:04.399 --> 00:23:05.639
 he gives wisdom

00:23:05.639 --> 00:23:06.259
 to the wise

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:06.839
 and knowledge

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.459
 to those who have

00:23:07.459 --> 00:23:08.000
 understanding

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.919
 he reveals deep

00:23:09.919 --> 00:23:10.879
 and hidden things

00:23:10.879 --> 00:23:12.000
 he knows what is

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:12.579
 in the dark

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.399
 and light

00:23:13.399 --> 00:23:14.859
 dwells with him

00:23:14.859 --> 00:23:16.959
 God's wisdom

00:23:16.959 --> 00:23:18.099
 and knowledge

00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:19.119
 again are one

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:19.859
 of the foundations

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:21.519
 of his throne

00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:22.559
 one of the foundations

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.659
 of his rule

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:25.180
 he is not limited

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:26.300
 in understanding

00:23:26.300 --> 00:23:28.220
 he is fully informed

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:29.720
 so that every decision

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:30.880
 that God makes

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.720
 every action

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.660
 that he puts

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.340
 into place

00:23:33.340 --> 00:23:34.840
 is informed

00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:35.980
 by the information

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:37.060
 his foreknowledge

00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:38.080
 of all the events

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:41.420
 everything is exposed

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:43.060
 nothing is hidden

00:23:43.060 --> 00:23:43.980
 from his sight

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:45.880
 so that in Psalm

00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:47.000
 139 12

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.140
 the psalmist says

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:49.860
 even the darkness

00:23:49.860 --> 00:23:51.440
 is not dark to you

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.519
 the night is bright

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.380
 as the day

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:55.259
 for darkness

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:56.140
 is light

00:23:56.140 --> 00:23:57.000
 with you

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:58.920
 next we find

00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.480
 his throne

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.660
 his throne

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:01.279
 which points

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:02.059
 to his right

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:03.019
 to judge

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:04.039
 his throne

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:04.620
 which points

00:24:04.620 --> 00:24:05.259
 to his right

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:05.740
 to judge

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.460
 his throne

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:06.920
 he says

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:09.320
 was a fiery flame

00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:10.320
 its wheels

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:11.640
 were a burning fire

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:13.380
 fire is often

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:13.860
 a picture

00:24:13.860 --> 00:24:15.220
 of either judgment

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:16.320
 or purification

00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:16.980
 and so

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:18.180
 God is after

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:18.940
 the purity

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:20.100
 of his people

00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:21.120
 and he promises

00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:21.720
 to judge

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.120
 those who are wicked

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:24.140
 those who stand

00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:24.640
 outside

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:26.080
 of his law

00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:28.340
 Hebrews chapter 12

00:24:28.340 --> 00:24:29.559
 verses 28 and 29

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.259
 in speaking about

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.360
 the kingdom of God

00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:33.000
 says therefore

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:34.840
 let us be grateful

00:24:34.840 --> 00:24:35.440
 for receiving

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:35.920
 a kingdom

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.259
 that cannot be shaken

00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:38.940
 and thus let us

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.700
 offer to God

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:40.720
 acceptable worship

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.860
 with reverence

00:24:41.860 --> 00:24:42.559
 and awe

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:43.580
 for our God

00:24:43.580 --> 00:24:44.620
 is a consuming

00:24:44.620 --> 00:24:45.519
 fire

00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.720
 God is

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.779
 the one

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.379
 to whom

00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:51.359
 we are accountable

00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:52.160
 and God

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:53.019
 will rightly

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.839
 judge

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.379
 those

00:24:54.379 --> 00:24:55.440
 who disobey

00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:56.879
 the wheels

00:24:56.879 --> 00:24:57.460
 that are here

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:58.160
 you can imagine

00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:58.859
 wheels

00:24:58.859 --> 00:24:59.740
 as if they were

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.519
 on a chariot

00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:00.839
 and they

00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:01.619
 are reminiscent

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:02.420
 of what we find

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.759
 in Ezekiel chapter 1

00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.720
 the wheel

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:05.440
 that's spinning

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:06.259
 within a wheel

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:07.680
 and it is

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:09.319
 helps to represent

00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:10.480
 the action

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.759
 and the engagement

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:12.920
 this living God

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:13.960
 who is present

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.900
 who is active

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:15.780
 who is engaged

00:25:15.780 --> 00:25:16.759
 in life

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.460
 and affairs

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:18.759
 motion

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:20.420
 is purifying

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.180
 and judging

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.220
 authority

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:23.200
 of God

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:24.660
 next we see

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:25.500
 a stream of fire

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:26.700
 which points

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:27.480
 to his authority

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.580
 it says

00:25:28.580 --> 00:25:29.420
 a stream of fire

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:30.540
 issued and came out

00:25:30.540 --> 00:25:31.140
 before him

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:32.480
 this fire

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.180
 comes out

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:34.320
 from before God

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:35.019
 it exerts

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.720
 authority

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.720
 on the earth

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.320
 it does not

00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:38.100
 just remain

00:25:38.100 --> 00:25:39.000
 with him

00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.460
 this river

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:41.880
 of fire

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.460
 coming from

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:42.840
 the throne

00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:43.780
 describes God's

00:25:43.780 --> 00:25:44.220
 judgment

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.779
 as being poured

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.299
 out upon

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:46.700
 the wicked

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.160
 particularly

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:47.620
 upon

00:25:47.620 --> 00:25:48.559
 the kingdom

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.140
 of the little

00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:49.539
 horn

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:50.880
 and the beast

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.519
 when Christ

00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:52.180
 returns

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:53.559
 the ministry

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:54.100
 of Jesus

00:25:54.100 --> 00:25:55.220
 was described

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.940
 in this way

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:56.839
 John the Baptist

00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:57.680
 will say of Jesus

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.880
 in Luke chapter 3

00:25:58.880 --> 00:25:59.920
 verse 16

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.960
 John says

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.000
 I baptize you

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.579
 with water

00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:03.880
 but he who is

00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:04.759
 mightier than I

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.380
 is coming

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:06.339
 the strap

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:07.420
 of whose sandal

00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:08.259
 I am not worthy

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.940
 to untie

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:10.600
 he will baptize you

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:11.799
 with the Holy Spirit

00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:13.180
 and with fire

00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:14.740
 that fire

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:17.680
 signifying the judgment

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.259
 that Christ would bring

00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:20.779
 through his ministry

00:26:20.779 --> 00:26:22.599
 Paul in writing

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.919
 to Timothy

00:26:23.919 --> 00:26:24.399
 will say

00:26:24.399 --> 00:26:25.099
 in 2nd Timothy

00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:26.319
 4 1

00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:26.700
 he says

00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:27.460
 I charge you

00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:28.599
 in the presence

00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:29.180
 of God

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:30.019
 and of Christ Jesus

00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:31.220
 who is to judge

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:32.099
 the living and the dead

00:26:32.099 --> 00:26:33.659
 and by his appearing

00:26:33.659 --> 00:26:35.339
 and his kingdom

00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:37.440
 God is the judge

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.519
 and every one of us

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.120
 are accountable

00:26:40.120 --> 00:26:41.960
 to the judge

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.860
 his authority

00:26:42.860 --> 00:26:44.559
 next we find

00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.220
 his servants

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:46.360
 his servants

00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:47.779
 which point to his glory

00:26:47.779 --> 00:26:48.400
 and notice

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:50.220
 a thousand thousands

00:26:50.220 --> 00:26:51.259
 served him

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:52.920
 and 10,000 times

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:54.860
 10,000 stood before him

00:26:54.860 --> 00:26:55.980
 this innumerable

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:58.259
 number of servants

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.100
 that are standing

00:26:59.100 --> 00:26:59.900
 and serving

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:01.799
 before the ancient

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:02.600
 of days

00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:04.160
 throughout the scripture

00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:04.740
 we see

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.700
 this host of heaven

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:07.460
 and the angelic

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:08.900
 servants of God

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:10.519
 standing before him

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:11.259
 in service

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:13.519
 Revelation 5 11

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:13.900
 says

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:14.460
 then I looked

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:16.759
 I heard around the throne

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.600
 and the living creatures

00:27:17.600 --> 00:27:18.380
 and the elders

00:27:18.380 --> 00:27:20.340
 the voice of many angels

00:27:20.340 --> 00:27:21.039
 numbering

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:22.660
 myriads of myriads

00:27:22.660 --> 00:27:23.940
 and thousands

00:27:23.940 --> 00:27:25.000
 of thousands

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.319
 of course

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:27.140
 those angels

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:27.860
 will be

00:27:27.860 --> 00:27:28.759
 accompanied

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.819
 by a host

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:31.039
 of people

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.440
 who will also

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.539
 be ushered

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:34.100
 into heaven

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:36.159
 Revelation chapter 7

00:27:36.159 --> 00:27:37.359
 verses 9 and 10

00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.039
 I looked and behold

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.899
 a great multitude

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.500
 that no one

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:40.899
 could number

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:42.139
 from every nation

00:27:42.139 --> 00:27:43.519
 from all tribes

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.119
 and peoples

00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:44.859
 and languages

00:27:44.859 --> 00:27:46.679
 standing before the throne

00:27:46.679 --> 00:27:47.599
 and before the lamb

00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.259
 clothed in white robes

00:27:49.259 --> 00:27:50.159
 and palm branches

00:27:50.159 --> 00:27:50.919
 in their hands

00:27:50.919 --> 00:27:52.179
 and crying out

00:27:52.179 --> 00:27:52.779
 with a loud voice

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:53.419
 salvation

00:27:53.419 --> 00:27:55.719
 belongs to our God

00:27:55.719 --> 00:27:57.299
 who sits on the throne

00:27:57.299 --> 00:27:58.879
 and to the lamb

00:27:58.879 --> 00:28:01.439
 the glory of God

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.279
 the servants

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:03.900
 who stand before him

00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:04.440
 in worship

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.559
 both from the angelic hosts

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.840
 and also from

00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:08.620
 the representation

00:28:08.620 --> 00:28:10.080
 of peoples

00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:10.860
 and nations

00:28:10.860 --> 00:28:11.680
 and languages

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.580
 who have given

00:28:12.580 --> 00:28:13.640
 their heart to him

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:14.880
 because of faith

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.480
 in Jesus

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.600
 for what Christ

00:28:16.600 --> 00:28:17.980
 accomplished on the cross

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:18.960
 his death

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:19.880
 his resurrection

00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:20.880
 and the invitation

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:21.940
 that is available

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:22.460
 to us

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:23.059
 salvation

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:24.960
 belongs to our God

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:26.299
 this morning

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:26.860
 do you know

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:28.980
 the God of heaven

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:29.759
 do you know

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.839
 the ancient of days

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.539
 have you come

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.200
 to a place

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.980
 in your life

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.859
 of recognizing

00:28:33.859 --> 00:28:34.859
 your sin

00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:36.440
 asking for forgiveness

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.759
 and understanding

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.940
 that salvation

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:40.279
 only belongs to him

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:41.980
 will you be part

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.660
 of the company

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:43.299
 of those

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:44.839
 who on this day

00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:46.140
 in Revelation chapter 7

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:47.460
 stand before

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:49.400
 the ancient of days

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.220
 and worship

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:52.579
 before his throne

00:28:52.579 --> 00:28:55.059
 next we find

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:55.640
 his courts

00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:56.579
 and books

00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:57.140
 that point

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:58.879
 to his impartiality

00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.080
 the books

00:29:01.080 --> 00:29:01.660
 in court

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:02.580
 that point

00:29:02.580 --> 00:29:03.940
 to his impartiality

00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:05.080
 it says

00:29:05.080 --> 00:29:05.500
 the court

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:06.340
 sat in judgment

00:29:06.340 --> 00:29:07.060
 and the books

00:29:07.060 --> 00:29:07.640
 were opened

00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:09.520
 there's not only

00:29:09.520 --> 00:29:10.040
 a throne

00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:10.800
 that we see

00:29:10.800 --> 00:29:12.540
 here in this vision

00:29:12.540 --> 00:29:13.300
 but we see

00:29:13.300 --> 00:29:14.160
 in judgment

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:15.280
 that's taking place

00:29:15.280 --> 00:29:16.140
 accountability

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:17.180
 that's happening

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:18.080
 the judge

00:29:18.080 --> 00:29:19.500
 will take his seat

00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:20.180
 on the

00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:20.960
 and judge

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.740
 the nations

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:23.380
 and throughout

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:23.820
 the scriptures

00:29:23.820 --> 00:29:24.380
 we understand

00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:25.300
 that God's judgments

00:29:25.300 --> 00:29:26.440
 are not

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.300
 arbitrary

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:28.859
 God's judgments

00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:29.740
 are certain

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:30.599
 they're based

00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:31.539
 on facts

00:29:31.539 --> 00:29:32.559
 he does not

00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:33.700
 judge on a whim

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:34.440
 he does not

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.039
 judge with partiality

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:37.000
 he judges

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.779
 in a way

00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:38.859
 that is discerning

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.700
 and unbiased

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:40.700
 he records

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.359
 the activities

00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:42.220
 of words

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:43.319
 and works

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:44.419
 in his book

00:29:44.419 --> 00:29:45.500
 in his scroll

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:47.500
 a number of passages

00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:48.359
 that we could go to

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:48.960
 but the ones

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.539
 that stand out

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:49.940
 the most

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:50.980
 are in Revelation

00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:51.740
 chapter 20

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.919
 verses 12

00:29:52.919 --> 00:29:53.539
 and 15

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.180
 I saw the dead

00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:55.980
 great and small

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.819
 standing before

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:57.220
 the Lord

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:58.779
 or before the throne

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.980
 and the books

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.519
 were opened

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.220
 then another book

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:01.680
 was opened

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:02.279
 which is the book

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.720
 of life

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:03.680
 and the dead

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.259
 were judged

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:05.099
 by what was

00:30:05.099 --> 00:30:06.299
 written in the books

00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:08.220
 according to what

00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:08.920
 they had done

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.660
 and if anyone's name

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:11.259
 was not found

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:12.019
 written in the book

00:30:12.019 --> 00:30:12.400
 of life

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:13.420
 he was thrown

00:30:13.420 --> 00:30:14.460
 into the lake

00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:15.319
 of fire

00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.220
 is your name

00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:18.079
 written in

00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:18.759
 the book

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:19.220
 of life

00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:20.000
 have you

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:21.240
 enjoyed

00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:22.599
 the forgiveness

00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:23.500
 and cleansing

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.259
 that comes

00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:25.160
 from God

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.660
 himself

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:26.119
 and God

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:26.500
 alone

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:28.140
 has God

00:30:28.140 --> 00:30:28.879
 washed you

00:30:28.879 --> 00:30:29.559
 and blotted

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.039
 out

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:31.220
 though our sins

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:32.460
 are as scarlet

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:33.279
 they shall be made

00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:34.059
 white as snow

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:35.039
 we find in Isaiah

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:36.500
 that's the promise

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.079
 for all

00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:37.940
 who place

00:30:37.940 --> 00:30:39.019
 their trust

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:39.759
 in him

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:41.460
 now we come

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:42.119
 to his power

00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:43.319
 his power

00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:43.960
 which is captured

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.440
 for us

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:45.960
 in verses 11

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.559
 and 12

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.319
 now it

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.460
 looks back

00:30:49.460 --> 00:30:50.759
 at this picture

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.579
 that was happening

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:52.279
 in verse 8

00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:53.259
 this horn

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.940
 that is

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:56.019
 promoting itself

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.740
 and notice

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:58.000
 in verse 11

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.519
 I looked

00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:00.180
 because of the sound

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:01.200
 of the great words

00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:02.079
 that the horn

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.720
 was speaking

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.180
 and as I looked

00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:05.319
 the beast was killed

00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:06.799
 its body destroyed

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:07.660
 and given over

00:31:07.660 --> 00:31:08.259
 to be burned

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:08.799
 with fire

00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:10.599
 as for the rest

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.139
 of the beast

00:31:11.139 --> 00:31:11.680
 their dominion

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.480
 was taken away

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.819
 but their lives

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:14.399
 were prolonged

00:31:14.399 --> 00:31:15.099
 for a season

00:31:15.099 --> 00:31:15.740
 in a time

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:17.079
 we don't have time

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:18.299
 to go into the details

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:19.220
 of this vision

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:20.200
 but there are some things

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:21.160
 that we can know

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.060
 for certain

00:31:22.060 --> 00:31:24.000
 first

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.480
 we discover

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.060
 that this chapter

00:31:27.060 --> 00:31:28.040
 is speaking

00:31:28.040 --> 00:31:29.180
 about this final

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:29.660
 leader

00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:30.980
 of this final

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.440
 kingdom

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.040
 we saw

00:31:33.040 --> 00:31:33.759
 in verse 8

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.860
 his unrivaled power

00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:35.820
 we saw

00:31:35.820 --> 00:31:36.940
 in verse 8

00:31:36.940 --> 00:31:37.640
 his ability

00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:38.620
 to influence

00:31:38.620 --> 00:31:39.960
 and capture

00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:40.980
 the sway

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:41.700
 the attention

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:42.980
 of the peoples

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:44.540
 by his articulate

00:31:44.540 --> 00:31:45.180
 speech

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:47.920
 later in this chapter

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.360
 chapter 7

00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:49.940
 verse 21

00:31:49.940 --> 00:31:50.920
 we find

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.440
 that this

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:52.340
 fourth beast

00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:53.100
 makes war

00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:54.019
 with the saints

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:54.799
 and prevails

00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:55.620
 over them

00:31:55.620 --> 00:31:58.180
 notice in verse 21

00:31:58.180 --> 00:31:58.840
 as I looked

00:31:58.840 --> 00:31:59.779
 this horn

00:31:59.779 --> 00:32:00.380
 made war

00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:01.100
 with the saints

00:32:01.100 --> 00:32:01.759
 and prevailed

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.740
 over them

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:04.580
 this fourth beast

00:32:04.580 --> 00:32:05.460
 is also talked

00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:06.220
 about in Daniel

00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:07.299
 chapter 11

00:32:07.299 --> 00:32:07.960
 where we get

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.519
 a prophecy

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:09.080
 of an event

00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:09.580
 that was still

00:32:09.580 --> 00:32:10.980
 future for Daniel

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:12.160
 but is somewhat

00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.720
 past

00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:13.640
 and partially

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:14.720
 fulfilled for us

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.140
 in Daniel 11

00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:16.519
 31

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.360
 it talks about

00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:18.340
 this abomination

00:32:18.340 --> 00:32:19.620
 that makes desolate

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:21.259
 Jesus will pick

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:21.899
 up on this

00:32:21.899 --> 00:32:22.359
 prophecy

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.039
 and build

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:24.459
 on it

00:32:24.459 --> 00:32:24.979
 in Matthew

00:32:24.979 --> 00:32:25.919
 chapter 24

00:32:25.919 --> 00:32:27.299
 verses 15

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:27.879
 to 18

00:32:27.879 --> 00:32:28.979
 who is this

00:32:28.979 --> 00:32:29.719
 final beast

00:32:29.719 --> 00:32:30.819
 who is this

00:32:30.819 --> 00:32:31.779
 last horn

00:32:31.779 --> 00:32:34.059
 Jesus will say

00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:35.579
 so when you see

00:32:35.579 --> 00:32:36.179
 the abomination

00:32:36.179 --> 00:32:37.119
 of desolation

00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:38.479
 spoken of by

00:32:38.479 --> 00:32:39.319
 the prophet Daniel

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:40.199
 standing in the

00:32:40.199 --> 00:32:40.839
 holy place

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.799
 let the reader

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.539
 understand

00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:44.059
 let those

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:44.579
 who are in

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:44.979
 Judea

00:32:44.979 --> 00:32:45.419
 flee to the

00:32:45.419 --> 00:32:45.679
 mountains

00:32:45.679 --> 00:32:46.939
 let the one

00:32:46.939 --> 00:32:47.459
 who is on

00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:48.039
 the housetop

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.700
 not go down

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.160
 to take

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:49.880
 what is in

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:50.400
 his house

00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:51.220
 and let the

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:51.720
 one who is

00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:52.539
 in the field

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:53.720
 not turn back

00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.319
 to take his

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:54.700
 cloak

00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:56.660
 Jesus builds

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:57.600
 on the prophecy

00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:58.620
 of Daniel

00:32:58.620 --> 00:32:59.380
 speaks about

00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:00.079
 a future

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:00.960
 abomination

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.180
 of desolation

00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:03.019
 that is still

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:03.980
 yet to occur

00:33:03.980 --> 00:33:05.900
 Revelation

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:06.559
 describes

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:07.920
 this ruler

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.039
 it uses

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.840
 many of

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.420
 the same

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:11.420
 figures

00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:12.180
 of speech

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:12.720
 some of the

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.480
 same descriptions

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:14.180
 that we find

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:15.059
 from Daniel

00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:15.759
 when we look

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.299
 at Revelation

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:17.259
 chapter 13

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:18.119
 notice

00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:19.720
 I saw the

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.319
 beast rising

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.639
 out of the

00:33:20.639 --> 00:33:20.899
 sea

00:33:20.899 --> 00:33:21.379
 with ten

00:33:21.379 --> 00:33:21.759
 horns

00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:22.960
 seven heads

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.399
 with ten

00:33:23.399 --> 00:33:23.919
 diadems

00:33:23.919 --> 00:33:24.259
 on its

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:24.579
 horns

00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:25.899
 and blasphemous

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.440
 names on

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:26.819
 its head

00:33:26.819 --> 00:33:28.440
 the beast

00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.079
 that I saw

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:30.000
 was like a

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.279
 leopard

00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:31.539
 its feet

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.119
 were like a

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:32.659
 bear's

00:33:32.659 --> 00:33:33.720
 its mouth

00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.240
 was like a

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.019
 lion's mouth

00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:36.240
 and to it

00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:36.740
 the dragon

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:37.319
 gave his

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:37.700
 power

00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:38.440
 and his

00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:38.779
 throne

00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:39.359
 in great

00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:39.759
 authority

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.099
 does that

00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:40.319
 sound

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:40.679
 familiar

00:33:40.679 --> 00:33:42.379
 the very

00:33:42.379 --> 00:33:44.139
 figures

00:33:44.139 --> 00:33:44.619
 that were

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:44.979
 used

00:33:44.979 --> 00:33:45.739
 to describe

00:33:45.739 --> 00:33:46.299
 the

00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:47.159
 previous

00:33:47.159 --> 00:33:47.799
 empires

00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:48.199
 are now

00:33:48.199 --> 00:33:49.259
 all combined

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:50.119
 in this

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:50.959
 final beast

00:33:50.959 --> 00:33:51.819
 and this

00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:52.500
 final leader

00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:53.539
 who in

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:54.419
 verse 5

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:55.559
 of chapter

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:56.019
 13

00:33:56.019 --> 00:33:56.839
 we find

00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:57.279
 out more

00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:58.359
 the beast

00:33:58.359 --> 00:33:58.739
 was given

00:33:58.739 --> 00:33:59.139
 a mouth

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.500
 and we

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:48.019
 see this

00:34:48.019 --> 00:34:48.500
 continuing

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:49.299
 promise

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:49.900
 of this

00:34:49.900 --> 00:34:50.759
 future

00:34:50.759 --> 00:34:51.539
 ruler

00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:52.159
 that is

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:52.440
 going to

00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:52.679
 come

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.619
 but all

00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:54.860
 of this

00:34:54.860 --> 00:34:55.440
 culminates

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:56.500
 in the

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:56.960
 next chain

00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:57.420
 of events

00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:58.259
 which Daniel

00:34:58.259 --> 00:34:59.000
 describes in

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.119
 verses 13

00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:00.699
 and 14

00:35:00.699 --> 00:35:02.099
 for all

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.360
 of the

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.819
 strength

00:35:02.819 --> 00:35:03.319
 for all

00:35:03.319 --> 00:35:03.559
 of the

00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:03.960
 power

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.839
 for all

00:35:04.839 --> 00:35:05.279
 of the

00:35:05.279 --> 00:35:06.059
 unrivaled

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:06.519
 influence

00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:07.059
 that this

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:07.460
 leader

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:08.380
 seems to

00:35:08.380 --> 00:35:08.759
 have

00:35:08.759 --> 00:35:09.539

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:10.139
 to understand

00:35:10.139 --> 00:35:10.859
 that it

00:35:10.859 --> 00:35:11.519
 is nothing

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:13.139
 in comparison

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:14.000
 with the

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:14.480
 power of

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:14.759
 God

00:35:14.759 --> 00:35:17.099
 verse 13

00:35:17.099 --> 00:35:17.599

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.159

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.679
 the son

00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:19.119
 of man

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:20.960
 I saw

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.859

00:35:21.859 --> 00:35:22.359

00:41:14.460 --> 00:41:14.740
 truth

00:41:14.740 --> 00:41:16.140
 why

00:41:16.140 --> 00:41:16.600
 does

00:41:16.600 --> 00:41:16.780
 it

 is

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:21.380
 coming

00:41:21.380 --> 00:41:22.820
 first

00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:24.740
 the

00:41:24.740 --> 00:41:25.260
 future

00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:25.940
 has

 been

 written

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:27.420
 and

 God

00:41:27.640 --> 00:41:28.039
 wins

00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:29.140
 the

 God

00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:32.059
 wins

00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:34.119
 so

00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:34.219
 as

00:41:34.219 --> 00:41:34.319
 we

00:41:34.319 --> 00:41:34.480
 look

00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:34.919
 around

00:41:34.919 --> 00:41:35.779
 ourselves

00:41:35.779 --> 00:41:36.419
 around

00:41:36.419 --> 00:41:36.879
 this

00:41:36.879 --> 00:41:37.219
 world

00:41:37.219 --> 00:41:37.439
 as

00:41:37.439 --> 00:41:37.699
 we

00:41:37.699 --> 00:41:38.799
 see

00:41:38.799 --> 00:41:39.000
 the

00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:39.699
 uncertainty

00:41:39.699 --> 00:41:40.179
 and

00:41:40.179 --> 00:41:40.459
 we

00:41:40.459 --> 00:41:41.480
 understand

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:41.739
 the

00:41:41.739 --> 00:41:42.239
 turmoil

00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:42.739
 we

00:41:42.739 --> 00:41:42.939
 see

00:41:42.939 --> 00:41:43.119
 the

00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:43.659
 chaos

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:43.919
 that

00:41:43.919 --> 00:41:44.919
 consumes

00:41:44.919 --> 00:41:45.279
 our

00:41:45.279 --> 00:41:45.659
 everyday

00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:46.259
 and

00:41:46.259 --> 00:41:46.419
 we

00:41:46.419 --> 00:41:46.839
 wonder

00:41:46.839 --> 00:41:47.319
 if

00:41:47.319 --> 00:41:47.599
 all

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:47.739
 of

00:41:47.739 --> 00:41:47.939
 this

00:41:47.939 --> 00:41:48.099
 is
