WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:18.280
 Well, good morning.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:21.059
 Will you pray with me?

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.820
 Lord, as we look at your word now,

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:31.660
 Lord, we are reminded of what a precious gift your word is.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.840
 That you have given to us, Lord,

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:39.880
 a written revelation of who you are.

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:45.480
 That you have written down to us, for us.

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:50.460
 Lord, these words that tell us about who you are,

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.980
 what kind of God you are in this world,

00:00:52.979 --> 00:00:59.059
 and what it means that we live in a God that is ruled and reigned over by you.

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:06.799
 God, I pray this morning that we would be those who tremble at your word.

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.120
 Because we tremble at you as we see your greatness.

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.520
 Your majesty, your beauty.

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.719
 Lord, your honor and glory.

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.520
 Your grace and mercy.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:24.760
 Lord, as we see all these things in you, we pray.

00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:31.280
 We pray that you will help us to have hearts that respond rightly to you.

00:01:32.860 --> 00:01:35.300
 God, be with me, I pray this morning.

00:01:36.099 --> 00:01:38.819
 Use me, Lord, to make clear your word.

00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.620
 And through my words, that we might all know you better.

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.500
 We pray these things in Jesus' name.

00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:47.000
 Amen.

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:48.560
 Amen.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.859
 Well, many of you know that I'm a Lord of the Rings fan.

00:01:56.259 --> 00:02:00.179
 If you don't, you will by the end of the introduction.

00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:07.180
 Lord of the Rings is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of literature in the 20th century.

00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:17.300
 It is one of the most powerfully written pictures of much truth in the world.

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.920
 And right at the heart of it is the ring.

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.060
 The ring of power.

00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:31.520
 Or this little trinket that the enemy so dearly desires that drives the whole plot line of the story.

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:39.480
 The ring is, for everyone who comes close to it, a temptation.

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.460
 Because in it there is power.

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.020
 And that power that is to be used is a power to control.

00:02:46.259 --> 00:02:48.000
 Think about the different characters.

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:57.300
 Gandalf, the wizard who has come to aid this great rescue or this great battle of light against darkness, of good against evil.

00:02:57.780 --> 00:03:00.580
 When offered, the ring says, no, don't give it to me.

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.180
 It would be too much.

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.539
 The power would be too great and I could not use it only for good.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.599
 Boromir, the valiant soldier from Gondor.

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:16.620
 Who sees the ring and as the movie.

00:03:16.979 --> 00:03:17.699
 It is a gift.

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:20.139
 Sees it as a weapon.

00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:23.280
 May we not use the weapon of the enemy against himself.

00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:25.639
 Not knowing its danger.

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:34.460
 And so he seeks to grab the ring and use it for his own power and own control.

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.780
 The elf lady, Galadriel.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.900
 In the land of Lothlorien, Frodo offers the ring to her and says,

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:48.640
 I would give it to you.

00:03:49.140 --> 00:03:52.840
 She says, long have I desired this that you now ask.

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.319
 And have seen the danger that I would take it by force.

00:03:56.420 --> 00:03:57.960
 But now you offer it me freely.

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:01.259
 And if you gave it to me, I would become a great queen.

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:04.520
 I would rule and be mighty and terrible.

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.259
 And all would bow down and worship me.

00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:10.799
 And I would do create a great kingdom.

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:25.860
 Boromir's brother Faramir later in the story finds out that this little hobbit, Frodo, in his captivity bears the ring of power.

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:28.000
 The thing that his father most desires.

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.680
 Faramir says, no, I could not use it.

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.180
 Though we stand on the edge of darkness and feel like we will lose this battle,

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.540
 we could not use this thing to try to win a kingdom for ourselves.

00:04:46.540 --> 00:05:01.080
 Even Sam Gamgee, the faithful, loyal servant, who in a moment of great heroism takes the ring to try to accomplish the mission for which his master,

00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:02.600
 whom he thinks has died,

00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:06.540
 to continue on with that,

00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:08.920
 he feels the pull.

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.840
 He sees himself, he envisions himself as this great warrior

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:19.600
 to overthrow the kingdoms of the enemy and to build up his great kingdom instead.

00:05:22.580 --> 00:05:24.040
 In all of these,

00:05:24.340 --> 00:05:25.180
 in all of these,

00:05:25.300 --> 00:05:27.740
 the ring holds forth this temptation.

00:05:28.700 --> 00:05:32.920
 Take hold of this power to build your kingdom on your own terms,

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.379
 to do your own thing.

00:05:35.379 --> 00:05:39.379
 You will be the sovereign ruler over all.

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:42.579
 And yet,

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:42.939
 Tolkien,

00:05:43.159 --> 00:05:48.759
 in all of his wisdom and steeped deeply in the Christian story and in the Christian theology,

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:50.259
 says,

00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.579
 this is a power that is evil.

00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:56.379
 This is not a good power.

00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:00.439
 To take control of the world,

00:06:00.719 --> 00:06:02.360
 to make our own kingdoms.

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:09.600
 Even in the characters who are good and would use power for good,

00:06:10.100 --> 00:06:11.199
 see the danger

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.120
 and resist it.

00:06:16.580 --> 00:06:17.060
 Friends,

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:17.639
 this morning,

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:18.180
 I wonder

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.939
 if in your life,

00:06:21.020 --> 00:06:22.379
 you have felt that power

00:06:22.379 --> 00:06:23.819
 and the pull.

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:26.360
 If you felt that pull

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.060
 to take hold of that power of its temptation

00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:32.120
 to be the master of your own life,

00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:33.699
 to build your own life,

00:06:34.100 --> 00:06:36.079
 to build your own kingdom

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.579
 where you have sway over it all

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:40.160
 and to rule over all.

00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.840
 Maybe you think that's far too grandiose

00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:46.500
 for your life.

00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:47.279
 Maybe you think,

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:48.120
 no,

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:49.980
 I don't really think about those things.

00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:57.000
 But as I was considering my own life in light of this,

00:06:57.140 --> 00:06:58.540
 I thought of a few things.

00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:02.920
 I thought of the frustration that boils up in my heart

00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:07.259
 when my kids' shoes are again strewn across the kitchen floor

00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:10.180
 and not in the cubbyhole where they were supposed to go.

00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:11.139
 And the door,

00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:11.900
 this green door,

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:13.199
 left open again,

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:14.540
 again.

00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:16.060
 And you think,

00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:18.000
 why can't they just

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.540
 do what I want them to do

00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:22.920
 to make our life a little more orderly

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:24.060
 and a little more clean?

00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.139
 And I see in myself this desire to control,

00:07:30.780 --> 00:07:32.199
 this desire to have power

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.120
 to make this kingdom convenient and easy

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.079
 for me in the ways that I want it to.

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:41.459
 I see it

00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:44.019
 when I have this impulse

00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:45.759
 that wells up in my heart

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.019
 to give someone unsolicited advice.

00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.480
 Oh, you could probably do it this way.

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:51.800
 Don't you think this?

00:07:52.660 --> 00:07:54.040
 My brother and sister-in-law

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.120
 actually have outlawed,

00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:56.939
 don't you think,

00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.460
 as a sentence from their marriage.

00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:00.920
 Because if you think about it,

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:01.819
 what it is is saying,

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:03.699
 don't you think that I'm right

00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:04.600
 and you ought to do

00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.379
 what I'm about to suggest you to do?

00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:09.800
 That's what it means.

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.439
 And so often I find myself

00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.079
 just welling up in my heart.

00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:16.939
 Don't you think you could do it this way

00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:19.120
 so that the world would be a better place

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.100
 according to me?

00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:27.780
 I see it in my own heart

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:30.100
 when even when I don't say anything

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:32.700
 and even when I don't do anything,

00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.620
 in my own mind,

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.440
 I look at someone

00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:37.860
 and I look at their actions

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:39.259
 and the shape of their life

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:39.980
 and their words

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:41.279
 and I dismiss them

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.000
 and I look down on them

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.820
 and I think to myself,

00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:46.640
 gosh, I'm glad

00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:48.240
 that I don't have to deal

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.120
 with that person

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.700
 on a more regular basis.

00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:54.920
 Because I know what's right

00:08:54.920 --> 00:08:56.980
 and they're wrong.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:09:03.180
 when I see these impulses

00:09:03.180 --> 00:09:04.560
 welling up in my heart,

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.500
 I see that I have a desire

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:09.139
 to build a kingdom

00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:10.759
 where I am the one

00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:11.820
 who sits on the throne.

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:13.539
 I have the power

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:14.180
 to determine

00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:15.519
 what is right and wrong.

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:16.759
 I have the power

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.120
 to control what happens

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.019
 and doesn't happen

00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:20.620
 in my little kingdom.

00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:29.000
 And even if my desires are good,

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.940
 even if I want my kingdom

00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:32.340
 to bless the world,

00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:33.879
 to bless my children

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.620
 with a happy and neat home,

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:37.240
 to bless my friends

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.539
 with a better way to live,

00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:39.940
 to bless our city

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:41.500
 with a better church,

00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:43.679
 even if my desires

00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:44.919
 are those things,

00:09:46.779 --> 00:09:48.740
 still, if I am at the pinnacle,

00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:51.100
 I too have felt

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:53.120
 the same pull of the ring

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.440
 that the characters did.

00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:58.159
 Friends, this is not

00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:59.700
 a new temptation in the world.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.039
 In fact, one of the most

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.600
 powerful places we see it

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.200
 is when Jesus Christ

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.080
 walked the earth.

00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:08.220
 As he came into his adulthood,

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:10.200
 as he came into his ministry,

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.740
 right after his baptism,

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:13.840
 he went out into the wilderness.

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:15.639
 And do you remember

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:16.560
 what happened there?

00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.299
 The tempter came.

00:10:19.719 --> 00:10:20.819
 And the tempter came

00:10:20.819 --> 00:10:21.319
 and said,

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.039
 don't you think,

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:25.000
 don't you think

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.459
 that you can gain

00:10:26.459 --> 00:10:28.039
 what you most want

00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.319
 some other way?

00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.559
 If you will just submit to me,

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.739
 if you will just test God

00:10:34.739 --> 00:10:36.139
 rather than trusting him,

00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:37.319
 if you will just

00:10:37.319 --> 00:10:38.839
 give your power over,

00:10:39.459 --> 00:10:40.500
 I will give you

00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.639
 everything you want.

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:43.199
 I will give you

00:10:43.199 --> 00:10:44.359
 the kingdoms of the world

00:10:44.359 --> 00:10:45.619
 is the last part of it.

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:47.360
 without the cross,

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.299
 without the thing

00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:50.279
 that is yet to come.

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:53.980
 This temptation

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:55.560
 has been going on

00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:57.060
 for hundreds

00:10:57.060 --> 00:10:58.679
 and thousands of years

00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:00.000
 for us

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.360
 to want to build

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.120
 our own kingdoms.

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.060
 It is in fact

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:05.740
 embedded in the very core

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.320
 of the Bible story

00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:08.480
 going back to Genesis

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.600
 when in this garden

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.299
 where God

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:12.220
 in his ruling

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:12.740
 and reigning

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.820
 and caring for his people

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:14.740
 had done everything

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.580
 for them.

00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:19.120
 And yet when the insidious

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:19.960
 words came in,

00:11:20.060 --> 00:11:21.500
 maybe you can be like him.

00:11:21.640 --> 00:11:22.700
 Maybe you can be out

00:11:22.700 --> 00:11:23.920
 from under his rule

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:25.660
 and rule on your own.

00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.000
 Make your own decisions.

00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:28.240
 Make your own choices.

00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:33.960
 Adam and Eve said,

00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.520
 I will do that.

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.960
 I will choose that power.

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.679
 I will make my own kingdom

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.019
 rather than living in God's.

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.879
 What does God think of us?

00:11:47.319 --> 00:11:48.419
 What does God think of us?

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.779
 How does he want us

00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:52.240
 to think of him

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.419
 and to respond to him

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:56.720
 as we think about

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.019
 the kingdoms of this world

00:11:58.019 --> 00:11:58.679
 and the kingdoms

00:11:58.679 --> 00:11:59.699
 of our lives?

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:01.900
 Well, this brings us

00:12:01.900 --> 00:12:02.759
 to our story,

00:12:03.300 --> 00:12:04.879
 to our passage

00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.160
 in Daniel today.

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:08.520
 We're in the book of Daniel.

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:09.360
 If you haven't been coming,

00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:10.259
 we're doing a series

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:11.259
 through the book of Daniel.

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:12.020
 We've already looked

00:12:12.020 --> 00:12:13.320
 at chapters one through three.

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.120
 We're looking at

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:15.740
 chapter four today.

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:17.940
 And in this story,

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:19.480
 we are going to see

00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.540
 how God works

00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:24.160
 in a particular circumstance

00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:25.660
 with the king of Babylon.

00:12:26.020 --> 00:12:27.240
 Has lots of things

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.160
 to teach us.

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.399
 I'm going to take

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:30.679
 a slightly different approach

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:31.620
 rather than reading

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:32.559
 the whole chapter.

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:33.980
 I'm going to retell

00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:34.740
 the first half

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:36.419
 because it's a long chapter.

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:37.539
 There's some repetition.

00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:39.899
 And I'm going to retell

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:41.279
 the first half of the story

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.480
 with a little bit

00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.019
 of commentary

00:12:43.019 --> 00:12:45.019
 just to get us into it.

00:12:45.319 --> 00:12:46.279
 But I encourage you

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.059
 to turn there.

00:12:47.199 --> 00:12:48.000
 What's the page number?

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:48.899
 I forgot to look.

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.399
 740.

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:52.959
 Yeah, that'll get you

00:12:52.959 --> 00:12:53.360
 close enough.

00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:55.199
 740.

00:12:55.439 --> 00:12:56.100
 Because we're going to look

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:56.959
 at a few verses

00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.540
 explicitly

00:12:58.540 --> 00:13:00.200
 just to get us

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:00.980
 through the passage.

00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:02.860
 But we're going to look

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:04.860
 at the first 28 verses.

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:05.879
 Rather than reading them,

00:13:05.900 --> 00:13:06.920
 I'm just going to talk through.

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:08.139
 But let's start

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:09.040
 and look together

00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:12.200
 at Daniel 4 verse 1.

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:14.620
 Let me read

00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:15.660
 verses 1 through 3

00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:17.300
 to set the stage for this.

00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:19.379
 King Nebuchadnezzar,

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:21.019
 who is the king of Babylon,

00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:22.139
 this new power

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:22.840
 that has risen

00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:23.840
 and now is ruling

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.519
 over all of Mesopotamia,

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.500
 King Nebuchadnezzar,

00:13:28.579 --> 00:13:29.539
 to all peoples,

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:30.419
 nations,

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.299
 and languages

00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:32.480
 that dwell

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.439
 in all the earth,

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:35.279
 peace be multiplied

00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:36.079
 to you.

00:13:36.819 --> 00:13:37.699
 It has seemed good

00:13:37.699 --> 00:13:38.100
 to me

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:39.319
 to show the signs

00:13:39.319 --> 00:13:39.899
 and wonders

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:41.379
 that the Most High God

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:42.699
 has done for me.

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.299
 How great

00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:44.179
 are His signs,

00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.159
 how mighty

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:45.980
 His wonders.

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:47.419
 His kingdom

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:49.100
 is an everlasting kingdom

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:50.179
 and His dominion

00:13:50.699 --> 00:13:51.559
 endures

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:52.639
 from generation

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.919
 generation

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:53.939
 to generation.

00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.059
 We come to this place

00:13:58.059 --> 00:13:58.779
 and this is how

00:13:58.779 --> 00:13:59.819
 the chapter begins

00:13:59.819 --> 00:14:01.120
 and it's an interesting start

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.899
 because most of the time

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:03.919
 stories begin,

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:04.740
 if you look back

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:05.980
 at chapters 1, 2, and 3,

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:06.720
 stories begin

00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.399
 with a little bit

00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:07.980
 of a setting

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:09.460
 and then there's a problem

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:10.299
 that builds

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:11.720
 and it's building

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.519
 towards some kind

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:13.179
 of resolution

00:14:13.179 --> 00:14:14.159
 that we get later

00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:14.879
 in the story.

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.080
 But interestingly,

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:16.600
 here,

00:14:16.980 --> 00:14:18.200
 the end of the story

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:19.080
 is right up front.

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.060
 Nebuchadnezzar says,

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.259
 this is what I want

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:22.780
 to tell you.

00:14:22.900 --> 00:14:24.300
 I want to tell you

00:14:24.300 --> 00:14:25.680
 about this God

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:26.500
 and how great

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:27.360
 He is.

00:14:28.580 --> 00:14:30.639
 Which is a striking thing

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.759
 because what we've already

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.220
 learned about Nebuchadnezzar

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:34.740
 is that

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.740
 He has

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:39.200
 built for Himself

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:40.220
 a great kingdom.

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.040
 In chapters 1, 2, and 3,

00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:43.360
 what we've seen

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:43.900
 is

00:14:43.900 --> 00:14:46.200
 that this great kingdom

00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:46.780
 of Babylon

00:14:46.780 --> 00:14:47.480
 has come

00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:48.720
 even to Jerusalem,

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.940
 even to the place

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:51.200
 where God's people live

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.540
 and He has shown

00:14:52.540 --> 00:14:53.139
 His power

00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:53.779
 in such a way

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:54.800
 that He has taken

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:55.820
 Daniel and His friends

00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:56.960
 off to captivity

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.720
 in Babylon

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.360
 and He is in the process

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.860
 of assimilating them

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:01.860
 into His culture.

00:15:02.300 --> 00:15:03.600
 He shows no sign

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.720
 of releasing His power

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.700
 or giving up

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.800
 any of His sovereignty.

00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:10.840
 In fact,

00:15:10.940 --> 00:15:11.620
 what we saw

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.580
 in chapter 3

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:13.460
 is that

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:14.860
 as He erected

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:16.240
 this huge statue

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:16.879
 that people

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.940
 would bow down

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.020
 in homage

00:15:19.020 --> 00:15:19.660
 to Him

00:15:19.660 --> 00:15:20.780
 to unify

00:15:20.780 --> 00:15:21.720
 and to strengthen

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.800
 His rule

00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:25.640
 and His sovereignty

00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:26.500
 over His kingdom,

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.080
 those who didn't

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.040
 respond to that

00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:31.700
 would be killed

00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:32.800
 and would be killed

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:33.420
 violently

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:34.960
 and demonstrably

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.100
 in a fire.

00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:37.400
 And it says

00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:38.400
 that Nebuchadnezzar,

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:39.140
 his response

00:15:39.140 --> 00:15:39.600
 to those

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.220
 who didn't

00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:41.980
 respect His authority

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:44.800
 was anger,

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:46.100
 deep anger

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:47.240
 that He was not

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.960
 being recognized

00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.019
 as their sovereign.

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.200
 And so it's

00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:53.120
 in this context

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.600
 then you get

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.100
 to the beginning

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.920
 of chapter 4

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:56.100
 and suddenly,

00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:57.539
 not suddenly

00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:58.180
 because you see

00:15:58.180 --> 00:15:58.720
 a hint of it

00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.039
 at the end

00:15:59.039 --> 00:15:59.560
 of chapter 3

00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:00.259
 but you see

00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:02.139
 a strong,

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.320
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:03.779
 is saying,

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:04.220
 look,

00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:06.200
 the God most high

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.060
 is a great God

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:08.100
 above all gods.

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:09.740
 and you just,

00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:11.340
 and it begs

00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:12.040
 the question,

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.220
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:16:13.540 --> 00:16:14.720
 how did you

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:15.360
 get there?

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:18.060
 How is this

00:16:18.060 --> 00:16:18.580
 the thing

00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:19.279
 that you most

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:20.019
 want to know?

00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:21.080
 It almost seems

00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:21.600
 like this is

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:22.420
 a royal decree

00:16:22.420 --> 00:16:23.620
 that's being put forth.

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:25.180
 The king puts forth

00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:25.580
 a decree

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:26.500
 to his whole kingdom,

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.700
 this is what's true

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:28.680
 about the most high.

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.519
 And then it begs

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:30.980
 the question,

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.379
 how did you get there?

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:34.300
 And so this is

00:16:34.300 --> 00:16:35.259
 what the next section

00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:36.120
 tells us about.

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:37.460
 The next section

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:38.340
 which we're not

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:38.780
 going to read

00:16:38.780 --> 00:16:39.300
 but I'm going to

00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:40.080
 summarize for you

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.180
 is Nebuchadnezzar

00:16:41.180 --> 00:16:41.900
 basically saying,

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.060
 I was at ease

00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:43.740
 and prosperity

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:44.540
 in my kingdom.

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.300
 I was doing great.

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.379
 It seemed like

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:48.160
 we were at the top

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:48.660
 of the world

00:16:48.660 --> 00:16:49.480
 and there was nothing

00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.519
 that could stop us,

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.480
 nothing that could

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.300
 spoil our happy kingdom.

00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.220
 But then I had a vision

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:58.900
 and this vision

00:16:58.900 --> 00:17:00.000
 disturbed me

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.980
 and it disturbed

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:03.200
 my sovereign peace

00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.720
 that I was living in

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.600
 and this contentment

00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:06.259
 that I had.

00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:07.379
 And this vision

00:17:07.379 --> 00:17:08.240
 was of a tree

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.579
 and the tree grew

00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:10.460
 and it spread

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.140
 its branches

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:12.440
 until it spread

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.180
 up to heaven

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:13.759
 and covered

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.759
 all of the earth

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.119
 and in the tree

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.119
 all the birds

00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:18.799
 and animals

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.279
 came and found refuge

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.579
 and found provision.

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:26.200
 And so it was a picture

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.799
 of a great flourishing

00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.079
 of this tree

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.039
 and all who came

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:30.900
 under its rule.

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:32.940
 but then

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:34.019
 into this vision

00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:34.920
 came a watcher

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.660
 and the watcher

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.480
 stepped in

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.940
 and the watcher said

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:39.240
 cut down the tree.

00:17:40.780 --> 00:17:42.060
 Cut down the tree,

00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:43.259
 clip off its branches,

00:17:43.820 --> 00:17:45.800
 scatter those beings

00:17:45.800 --> 00:17:46.660
 that were finding

00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:48.040
 provision and safety

00:17:48.040 --> 00:17:50.140
 under this tree.

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:51.019
 Scatter them

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:51.519
 to the ends

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.259
 of the earth.

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:54.839
 Take it down

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.660
 to a stump.

00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:57.339
 Bind the stump

00:17:57.339 --> 00:17:57.680
 up

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.980
 so that it won't

00:17:58.980 --> 00:17:59.920
 be

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:03.319
 so that it won't

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.660
 be killed

00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:06.200
 completely.

00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:06.839
 Look with me

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:07.920
 in verse 12

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.440
 for a minute.

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:09.440
 Right?

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.200
 This is the picture

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:10.819
 of the tree.

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.299
 Its leaves were beautiful

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:13.519
 and its fruit abundant

00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:14.879
 and in it

00:18:14.879 --> 00:18:16.180
 was food for all.

00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:17.599
 The beasts

00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.139
 of the field

00:18:18.139 --> 00:18:18.839
 found shade

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.240
 under it

00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:19.700
 and the birds

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:20.200
 of the heaven

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:21.500
 lived in its branches

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:22.579
 and all flesh

00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:23.519
 was fed from it.

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.700
 But then the watcher

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:25.160
 came

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.720
 and it says

00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.519
 interestingly

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.139
 it says

00:18:31.139 --> 00:18:31.980
 after this tree

00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:32.599
 is cut down

00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:33.480
 and it's bound up

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.379
 do you see

00:18:34.379 --> 00:18:35.240
 how the

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:36.740
 the pronouns

00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:37.339
 change?

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:38.460
 It's fascinating.

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.339
 This is such

00:18:39.339 --> 00:18:40.039
 cool language.

00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:40.700
 Look with me

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:41.039
 for a sec.

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:43.079
 Verse 14

00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:43.359
 right?

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:44.259
 It's strip off

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.059
 its branches

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:46.579
 scatter its fruit

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:47.879
 but then you get

00:18:47.879 --> 00:18:49.139
 down to verse 15.

00:18:49.439 --> 00:18:50.139
 Leave the stump

00:18:50.139 --> 00:18:50.799
 of its roots

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.379
 and the earth

00:18:51.379 --> 00:18:52.339
 bound with a band

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:53.259
 of iron and bronze

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:53.979
 among the tender

00:18:53.979 --> 00:18:54.859
 grass of the field.

00:18:55.419 --> 00:18:56.179
 Let him

00:18:56.179 --> 00:18:58.039
 be wet

00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:58.939
 with the dew

00:18:58.939 --> 00:18:59.439
 of heaven.

00:19:00.139 --> 00:19:01.519
 Let his portion

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:02.459
 be with the beasts

00:19:02.459 --> 00:19:03.459
 and the grass

00:19:03.459 --> 00:19:04.139
 of the earth.

00:19:05.139 --> 00:19:05.699
 He goes on

00:19:05.699 --> 00:19:06.599
 and basically says

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:07.299
 let

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:09.559
 whatever this tree

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.279
 was

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.639
 now it becomes

00:19:11.639 --> 00:19:12.179
 a him

00:19:12.179 --> 00:19:13.139
 and let him

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:14.520
 not be a person

00:19:14.520 --> 00:19:15.280
 but let him

00:19:15.280 --> 00:19:16.480
 experience life

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.500
 as if he were

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:18.160
 a beast.

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:19.600
 He's going to

00:19:19.600 --> 00:19:20.200
 run around

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:21.420
 and eat grass.

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.540
 To experience

00:19:23.540 --> 00:19:24.360
 the dew of the heaven

00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:24.960
 means you have

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.540
 no shelter.

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:26.080
 It means you're

00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:26.700
 sleeping out

00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:27.280
 on the ground

00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:27.700
 and when you

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:28.180
 wake up in the

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.700
 morning you are

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:29.060
 wet

00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:30.060
 because you have

00:19:30.060 --> 00:19:30.640
 no shelter

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.440
 over your head.

00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:33.880
 So this is the

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.259
 vision

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:35.320
 that Daniel

00:19:35.320 --> 00:19:35.900
 has

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:37.340
 and as you

00:19:37.340 --> 00:19:37.800
 might imagine

00:19:37.800 --> 00:19:38.440
 he's disturbed

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:38.840
 by it.

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:39.400
 What does this

00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:39.680
 mean?

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:40.220
 What is this

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:40.740
 all about?

00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:41.420
 And so

00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:42.620
 what he does

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.259
 is he calls

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:43.940
 his magicians

00:19:43.940 --> 00:19:44.700
 as typically

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.240
 he does

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:45.960
 says hey

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.279
 what does

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:46.840
 this mean?

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.799
 And typically

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.440
 as what we've

00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.000
 seen in Daniel

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.660
 they don't know.

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:51.420
 I don't know

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:51.960
 what good

00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:52.480
 they were

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.019
 but his

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:53.560
 magicians

00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:54.100
 didn't seem

00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:54.519
 to be able

00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:54.840
 to come

00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:55.220
 through in

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:55.660
 the pinch

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:56.640
 when the

00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.000
 things were

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.580
 really important

00:19:57.580 --> 00:19:58.299
 so he called

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:58.880
 on Daniel

00:19:58.880 --> 00:19:59.640
 because Daniel

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:00.299
 has been helpful

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:00.840
 before

00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:01.799
 and Daniel

00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:02.539
 comes in

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:05.460
 this is where

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:05.799
 we are

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:06.759
 in verse 19

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.420
 and following

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:08.099
 Daniel

00:20:08.099 --> 00:20:08.700
 comes in

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.519
 to tell him

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:12.180
 to tell him

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:12.700
 more about

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:13.220
 the dream

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:17.099
 before we

00:20:17.099 --> 00:20:17.759
 keep going

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.079
 I want to

00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:18.680
 say one more

00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:18.920
 thing

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.680
 verse 17

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.319
 look with me

00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:20.619
 again

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.059
 because it

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:21.460
 gives the

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:21.920
 purpose

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.039
 it actually

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:23.519
 says there's

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:23.980
 a purpose

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.420
 for this

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.759
 dream

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.740
 verse 17

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:29.559
 the sentence

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.680
 is by the

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.279
 decree of the

00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:31.799
 watchers

00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:32.419
 the decision

00:20:32.419 --> 00:20:33.019
 of the word

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:33.480
 of the holy

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.819
 ones

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:34.359
 to the end

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:34.680
 that the

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.240
 living may

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:35.639
 know

00:20:35.639 --> 00:20:36.519
 that the

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:37.359
 most high

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.139
 rules the

00:20:38.139 --> 00:20:38.720
 kingdoms of

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:39.079
 men

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:40.220
 and gives

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:40.799
 it to whom

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.339
 he will

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:42.539
 and sets

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.180
 over it

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:44.159
 the lowliest

00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:45.000
 of men

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.539
 it's kind

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:49.819
 of fun

00:20:49.819 --> 00:20:50.200
 when you get

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:50.799
 the punchline

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.480
 of the story

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:52.720
 that clearly

00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.519
 it says

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.139
 this is

00:20:54.139 --> 00:20:55.899
 so Nebuchadnezzar

00:20:55.899 --> 00:20:56.240
 is saying

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.159
 what is the

00:20:57.159 --> 00:20:57.919
 meaning of this

00:20:57.919 --> 00:20:58.680
 it's fascinating

00:20:58.680 --> 00:20:59.339
 because it says

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:00.000
 right here

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:00.879
 this is the

00:21:00.879 --> 00:21:01.559
 meaning of it

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:02.279
 here's the

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:02.539
 vision

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:02.839
 but the

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:04.579
 magicians

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:05.059
 they don't

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:05.319
 know

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:06.179
 or maybe

00:21:06.179 --> 00:21:06.579
 they were

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:07.159
 too scared

00:21:07.159 --> 00:21:07.619
 to say

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:07.819
 it

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:08.480
 maybe

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.319
 they actually

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:09.740
 knew

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:10.359
 exactly

00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:10.819
 what this

00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:11.240
 was about

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:11.639
 and they

00:21:11.639 --> 00:21:12.139
 were playing

00:21:12.139 --> 00:21:12.440
 dumb

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:13.000
 because they

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.379
 weren't going

00:21:13.379 --> 00:21:13.940
 to be ones

00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:14.579
 to say

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:15.599
 what Daniel

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.399
 said to him

00:21:16.399 --> 00:21:18.500
 because Daniel

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.019
 comes

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.879
 and Daniel

00:21:19.879 --> 00:21:20.460
 has great

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:21.220
 he hears

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.779
 it and he

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.519
 trembles

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.399
 he knows

00:21:23.399 --> 00:21:23.779
 what it

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:24.139
 means

00:21:24.139 --> 00:21:24.779
 and his

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:26.019
 first response

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:27.139
 is he's

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:27.879
 fearful

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:29.919
 not for

00:21:29.919 --> 00:21:30.379
 himself

00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:30.900
 I don't

00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:31.300
 believe

00:21:31.300 --> 00:21:31.720
 but he's

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.100
 fearful

00:21:32.100 --> 00:21:32.480
 for

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.320
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:21:33.320 --> 00:21:34.900
 there's

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:35.320
 actually

00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:35.820
 a kind

00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.000
 of

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.860
 kindness

00:21:36.860 --> 00:21:37.340
 that

00:21:37.340 --> 00:21:37.800
 Daniel

00:21:37.800 --> 00:21:38.420
 shows

00:21:38.420 --> 00:21:40.360
 in saying

00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:40.920
 do you

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:41.400
 really want

00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:41.620
 to know

00:21:41.620 --> 00:21:41.900
 what this

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:42.280
 means

00:21:42.280 --> 00:21:42.840
 because it's

00:21:42.840 --> 00:21:43.340
 not a good

00:21:43.340 --> 00:21:43.760
 message

00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:44.280
 for you

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.039
 and then

00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:47.859
 his second

00:21:47.859 --> 00:21:48.359
 response

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:48.660
 is

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.759
 actually

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.759
 can I

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.160
 just say

00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.519
 that I

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.000
 wish this

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.519
 were really

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:53.039
 about your

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:53.420
 enemies

00:21:53.420 --> 00:21:54.839
 I really

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.379
 wish this

00:21:55.379 --> 00:21:55.839
 were about

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:56.599
 someone else

00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:56.980
 and not

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.339
 you

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:58.960
 but then

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.279
 in verse

00:21:59.279 --> 00:21:59.920
 22

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:00.720
 it is

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.099
 you

00:22:01.099 --> 00:22:01.720
 oh king

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.660
 who have

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:03.019
 grown

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:03.700
 and become

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.339
 strong

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:06.180
 your greatness

00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:06.720
 has grown

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.240
 and reaches

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.899
 to heaven

00:22:07.899 --> 00:22:08.500
 and your

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:08.899
 dominion

00:22:08.899 --> 00:22:09.259
 to the

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:09.599
 ends

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:09.940
 of the

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:10.460
 earth

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:14.079
 verse 22

00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:14.500
 but then

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:14.819
 in verse

00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.519
 25

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.180
 you will

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:17.440
 suffer

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:18.180
 humiliation

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:19.120
 until you

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:19.480
 know

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:19.920
 that the

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.460
 most high

00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:20.900
 rules

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.400
 the kingdoms

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:21.980
 of men

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:23.059
 and gives

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:23.380
 it to

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.779
 whom he

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:24.140
 will

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:26.720
 your

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.019
 kingdom

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:27.400
 shall be

00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:27.840
 confirmed

00:22:27.840 --> 00:22:28.440
 for you

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.120
 from the

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:29.600
 time

00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:30.420
 that you

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:30.819
 know

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.620
 that heaven

00:22:31.620 --> 00:22:32.700
 rules

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:38.759
 Daniel's

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.380
 final word

00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:40.140
 in this

00:22:40.140 --> 00:22:40.880
 story

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:41.500
 is in

00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:42.280
 verse 27

00:22:42.280 --> 00:22:43.220
 he encourages

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:44.100
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:22:44.100 --> 00:22:44.780
 to respond

00:22:44.780 --> 00:22:45.220
 to this

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:45.620
 vision

00:22:45.620 --> 00:22:48.080
 therefore

00:22:48.080 --> 00:22:48.660
 oh king

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:49.060
 let my

00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:49.360
 counsel

00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:49.940
 be acceptable

00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:50.360
 to you

00:22:50.360 --> 00:22:50.920
 break off

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:51.460
 your sins

00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:52.240
 by practicing

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:52.860
 righteousness

00:22:52.860 --> 00:22:53.820
 and your

00:22:53.820 --> 00:22:54.280
 iniquities

00:22:54.280 --> 00:22:54.920
 by showing

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:55.320
 mercy

00:22:55.320 --> 00:22:55.720
 to the

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.220
 oppressed

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:57.460
 that there

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:58.000
 may

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.920
 perhaps

00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.500
 be a

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.100
 lengthening

00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:01.280
 of your

00:23:01.280 --> 00:23:01.880
 prosperity

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:04.860
 so now

00:23:04.860 --> 00:23:05.120
 we know

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:05.580
 the vision

00:23:05.580 --> 00:23:06.100
 and now

00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:06.400
 we know

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:06.800
 what its

00:23:06.800 --> 00:23:07.620
 meaning

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:08.080
 is

00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:09.140
 it's a

00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:09.700
 proclamation

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:10.660
 of judgment

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:11.140
 that's going

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:11.600
 to come

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:11.920
 on

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:12.700
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:13.380
 with an

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:13.740
 offer

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.380
 to respond

00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:16.059
 now

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.039
 with repentance

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:18.500
 to rule

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:19.120
 his kingdom

00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:19.900
 in a way

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:20.440
 that would

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:21.340
 show something

00:23:21.340 --> 00:23:21.920
 different

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.640
 that would

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:23.080
 show that

00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:23.720
 he knows

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.100
 that there

00:23:24.100 --> 00:23:24.640
 is a king

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.580
 most high

00:23:25.580 --> 00:23:26.380
 who rules

00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:27.580
 over Nebuchadnezzar

00:23:27.580 --> 00:23:27.920
 and his

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.259
 kingdom

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:29.120
 and so he

00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:29.600
 would show

00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:30.059
 mercy

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:31.019
 and show

00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:31.759
 kindness

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.299
 to the

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.840
 oppressed

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:34.980
 and so

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.299
 we pick

00:23:35.299 --> 00:23:35.559
 up the

00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:35.839
 narrative

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.240
 in verse

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:36.659
 28

00:23:36.659 --> 00:23:37.039
 as we

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.439
 find out

00:23:37.439 --> 00:23:37.879
 how

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:38.819
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:39.299
 responds

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:39.720
 to all

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:40.039
 this

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.339
 all this

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:42.859
 came upon

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:43.500
 king

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:44.220
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:44.500
 at the

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:44.819
 end of

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:45.119
 twelve

00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:45.459
 months

00:23:45.459 --> 00:23:45.779
 he was

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.179
 walking

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.539
 on the

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:46.819
 roof

00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:47.099
 of the

00:23:47.099 --> 00:23:47.299
 royal

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:47.699
 palace

00:23:47.699 --> 00:23:47.859
 of

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:48.220
 Babylon

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:49.059
 and the

00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:49.240
 king

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:49.639
 answered

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.259
 and says

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:51.759
 is not

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.119
 this

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:52.779
 great

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:53.339
 Babylon

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:53.799
 which

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:54.500
 I

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:54.779
 have

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.159
 built

00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:56.039
 by my

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.379
 mighty

00:23:56.379 --> 00:23:56.799
 power

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.119
 as a

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:57.299
 royal

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:57.740
 residence

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:58.439
 and for

00:23:58.439 --> 00:23:58.859
 the glory

00:23:58.859 --> 00:23:59.480
 of my

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.079
 majesty

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.699
 you can

00:24:02.699 --> 00:24:03.000
 see it

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:03.259
 coming

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:03.579
 can't

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:03.740
 you

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:04.919
 while

00:24:04.919 --> 00:24:05.199
 these

00:24:05.199 --> 00:24:05.720
 words

00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:06.039
 were

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.619
 still

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:06.799
 in

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:06.919
 the

00:24:06.919 --> 00:24:07.259

00:24:07.259 --> 00:24:07.679
 mouth

00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:08.779
 there

00:24:08.779 --> 00:24:09.119
 fell

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.299
 a

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:09.539
 voice

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:09.779
 from

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.139

00:24:10.139 --> 00:24:10.899
 oh

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:13.599
 it is

00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:14.019

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:36.299
 word

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:36.519

 against

 driven

00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:39.459
 from

00:24:41.139 --> 00:24:41.359
 like

 his

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:42.399
 body

00:24:42.399 --> 00:24:42.639
 was

00:24:42.639 --> 00:24:42.899
 wet

00:24:42.899 --> 00:24:43.079
 with

00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:43.199
 the

00:24:43.199 --> 00:24:43.339
 dew

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:43.479
 of

 as

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:45.559
 long

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:45.719
 as

00:24:49.159 --> 00:24:49.579

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:50.219
 were

00:24:50.219 --> 00:24:50.519
 like

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:50.879
 birds

00:24:50.879 --> 00:24:51.439
 claws

00:24:51.439 --> 00:24:54.799
 as

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:54.979
 a

00:24:54.979 --> 00:24:55.579
 storyteller

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:55.979
 tells

00:24:56.199 --> 00:24:56.639
 story

00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.340
 he

00:24:58.340 --> 00:24:58.740
 lays

00:24:58.740 --> 00:24:59.080
 out

00:24:59.080 --> 00:25:00.600
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:25:00.600 --> 00:25:00.820
 had

00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:01.320
 every

00:25:01.320 --> 00:25:01.640
 reason

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:01.860

00:25:02.060 --> 00:25:02.620
 exactly

00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:02.900
 what

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:03.100
 was

00:25:03.100 --> 00:25:03.420
 coming

00:25:03.420 --> 00:25:03.680
 and

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:03.900
 how

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:04.080
 to

00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:04.500
 respond

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:04.700
 to

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:04.840
 it

00:25:04.840 --> 00:25:05.300
 differently

00:25:05.300 --> 00:25:05.800
 he

00:25:05.800 --> 00:25:06.020
 had

00:25:06.020 --> 00:25:06.259
 all

 am

 humble

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.440
 you

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:46.019
 it

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.180
 is

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.400
 not

 kind

00:25:46.980 --> 00:25:47.420
 humbling

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:47.620
 it

00:25:47.620 --> 00:25:47.779
 is

00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:48.120
 actually

00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:48.339
 a

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:49.019
 humiliation

00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:50.819
 he

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:51.379
 becomes

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:51.940
 beast

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:52.359
 like

00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.259
 one

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:56.460
 of the

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:57.019
 commentators

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.460
 wrote it

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:57.960
 this way

00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:58.859
 while he

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.079
 was

00:25:59.079 --> 00:25:59.559
 full

00:25:59.559 --> 00:25:59.900
 of his

00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:00.139
 own

00:26:00.139 --> 00:26:00.879
 importance

00:26:00.879 --> 00:26:02.859
 Nebuchadnezzar's

00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:03.180
 world

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:03.680
 revolved

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:03.940
 around

00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:04.539
 himself

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.660
 it

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:05.879
 did

00:26:05.879 --> 00:26:06.139
 not

00:26:06.139 --> 00:26:06.599
 strike

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:06.839
 him

00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:07.039
 how

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:07.839
 unrealistic

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.299
 this

00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:08.940
 was

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.940
 until

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.180
 he

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:10.379
 was

00:26:10.379 --> 00:26:10.660
 brought

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:11.099
 low

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:11.680
 by

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:12.259
 illness

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:16.500
 one

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:16.639
 of

00:26:16.639 --> 00:26:16.759
 the

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:17.000
 things

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:17.339
 that's

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:17.660
 striking

00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:18.639
 to

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:18.920
 see

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:19.120
 is

00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:19.300
 that

00:26:19.300 --> 00:26:19.520
 when

00:26:19.520 --> 00:26:20.000
 God

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.480
 tried

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:21.680
 to

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:21.960
 show

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.660
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:22.860
 the

00:26:22.860 --> 00:26:23.400
 reality

00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:23.620
 of

00:26:23.620 --> 00:26:23.800
 his

00:26:23.800 --> 00:26:24.280
 state

00:26:24.280 --> 00:26:26.280
 he

00:26:26.280 --> 00:26:26.680
 humbled

00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:27.080
 him

00:26:27.080 --> 00:26:27.560
 so

00:26:27.560 --> 00:26:28.060
 low

00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:29.520
 that

00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:29.700
 he

00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:30.100
 was

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:30.820
 living

00:26:30.820 --> 00:26:31.100
 like

00:26:31.100 --> 00:26:31.259
 a

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.640
 beast

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.460
 he

00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:32.840
 was

00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:33.800
 less

00:26:33.800 --> 00:26:34.100
 than

00:26:34.100 --> 00:26:34.520
 fully

00:26:34.520 --> 00:26:35.040
 human

00:26:35.040 --> 00:26:38.740
 isn't

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.060
 this

00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:39.420
 what

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:39.780
 pride

00:26:39.780 --> 00:26:40.060
 does

00:26:40.060 --> 00:26:40.259
 to

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:40.580
 us

00:26:40.580 --> 00:26:41.120
 as

00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:41.360
 we

00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:41.920
 exalt

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.580
 ourselves

00:26:42.580 --> 00:26:43.020
 out

00:26:43.020 --> 00:26:43.160
 of

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:43.300
 the

00:26:43.300 --> 00:26:43.640
 place

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:43.820
 that

00:26:43.820 --> 00:26:43.960
 we

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.120
 were

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:44.580
 created

00:26:44.580 --> 00:26:44.800
 to

 have

00:26:45.060 --> 00:26:45.460
 under

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:45.920
 God's

00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:46.259
 rule

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:47.660
 when

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:47.920
 we

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:49.000
 push

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.420
 ourselves

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:49.779
 up

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:49.960
 and

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:50.580
 magnify

00:26:50.580 --> 00:26:51.100
 ourselves

00:26:51.100 --> 00:26:51.360
 and

00:26:51.360 --> 00:26:51.680
 take

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:51.940
 hold

 this

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:53.700
 is

 no

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.680
 and

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:29.820
 so

00:27:29.820 --> 00:27:30.019
 for

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.320
 seven

00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:30.779
 periods

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:31.080
 whatever

00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:31.380
 those

00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:31.759
 periods

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:32.060
 were

00:27:32.060 --> 00:27:32.240
 we

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:32.500
 don't

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:32.900
 know

00:27:32.900 --> 00:27:33.900
 seven

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:34.180
 just

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:34.440
 means

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:34.600
 you

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:34.740
 get

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:34.880
 to

00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:35.019
 the

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.180
 end

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:35.279
 of

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:35.400
 it

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:35.560
 and

00:27:35.560 --> 00:27:35.759
 it's

00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:36.200
 complete

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:37.400
 I

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:37.519
 think

00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:37.779
 that's

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:37.900
 the

00:27:37.900 --> 00:27:38.100
 best

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:38.259
 way

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:38.380
 to

00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:38.600
 read

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:38.799
 it

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:40.200
 when

00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:40.419
 those

00:27:40.419 --> 00:27:40.740
 seven

00:27:40.740 --> 00:27:41.180
 periods

00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:41.379
 were

00:27:41.379 --> 00:27:41.819
 over

00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:44.000
 the

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.240
 story

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.019
 continues

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:46.680
 look

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:46.859
 with

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:47.019
 me

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:47.339
 again

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:48.159
 verse

00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:48.980
 24

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:50.119
 the

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:50.460
 end

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:50.619
 of

00:27:50.619 --> 00:27:51.220
 the

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:51.639
 days

00:27:51.639 --> 00:27:51.859
 that

00:27:51.859 --> 00:27:52.019
 is

00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:52.139
 the

00:27:52.139 --> 00:27:52.279
 end

00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:52.379
 of

00:27:52.379 --> 00:27:52.559
 those

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:52.859
 seven

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:53.419
 periods

00:27:53.419 --> 00:27:53.700
 whatever

00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:53.919
 it

00:27:53.919 --> 00:27:54.240
 was

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.039
 I

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:56.119
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:57.240
 lifted

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:57.960
 my eyes

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.200
 to

00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:58.579
 heaven

00:27:58.579 --> 00:28:00.700
 let's

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:00.859
 just

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:01.119
 stop

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.319
 there

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:01.519
 for

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:01.659
 a

00:28:01.659 --> 00:28:01.859
 minute

00:28:01.859 --> 00:28:03.700
 that's

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:03.899
 not

00:28:03.899 --> 00:28:04.339
 simply

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:04.799
 he

00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:05.039
 looked

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:05.379
 up

00:28:05.379 --> 00:28:05.779
 because

00:28:05.779 --> 00:28:05.899
 he

00:28:05.899 --> 00:28:06.139
 wondered

00:28:06.139 --> 00:28:06.279
 if

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.399
 there

00:28:06.399 --> 00:28:06.519
 was

00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:06.619
 a

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:06.859
 cloud

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:07.039
 in

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:07.159
 the

00:28:07.159 --> 00:28:07.460
 sky

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:07.619
 or

00:28:07.619 --> 00:28:07.740
 a

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:07.879
 bird

00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:08.020
 was

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:38.820
 and

00:28:38.820 --> 00:28:38.980
 my

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.320
 reason

00:28:39.320 --> 00:28:39.740
 returned

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:39.960
 to

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.120
 me

00:28:40.120 --> 00:28:40.240
 and

00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:40.380
 I

00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:40.800
 blessed

00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:41.020
 the

00:28:41.020 --> 00:28:41.280
 most

00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:41.700
 high

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.240
 and

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:42.700
 praised

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:42.900
 and

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.180
 honored

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:43.440
 him

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:43.620
 who

00:28:43.620 --> 00:28:43.860
 lives

00:28:43.860 --> 00:28:44.360
 forever

00:28:44.360 --> 00:28:46.840
 and he

00:28:46.840 --> 00:28:47.260
 goes on

00:28:47.260 --> 00:28:47.700
 to sing

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:48.200
 this hymn

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.860
 of praise

00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:49.600
 for his

00:28:49.600 --> 00:28:50.120
 dominion

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:50.520
 is an

00:28:50.520 --> 00:28:51.100
 everlasting

00:28:51.100 --> 00:28:51.740
 dominion

00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:52.220
 and his

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:52.620
 kingdom

00:28:52.620 --> 00:28:53.260
 endures

00:28:53.260 --> 00:28:53.860
 from

00:28:53.860 --> 00:28:54.420
 generation

00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:57.400
 earth

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:57.560
 are

00:28:57.560 --> 00:28:57.940
 accounted

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.200
 as

00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:58.680
 nothing

00:28:58.680 --> 00:28:59.140
 and he

00:28:59.140 --> 00:28:59.460
 does

00:28:59.460 --> 00:28:59.860
 according

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.280
 to his

00:29:00.280 --> 00:29:00.580
 will

00:29:00.580 --> 00:29:01.260
 among

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:05.260
 and none

00:29:05.260 --> 00:29:05.840
 can stay

00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:06.420
 his hand

00:29:06.420 --> 00:29:07.100
 or say

00:29:07.100 --> 00:29:07.600
 to him

00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:08.480
 what

00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:08.899

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.839
 done

00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.379

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:12.779
 repeats

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:13.179
 it then

00:29:13.179 --> 00:29:13.859

00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:51.339
 in the

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:51.839
 foolishness

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.160
 of his

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:52.539
 pride

00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:52.859
 now

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:53.099
 the

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:53.759
 storyteller

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.579
 comes

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:54.920
 and says

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:55.299
 and this

00:29:55.299 --> 00:29:55.599
 is what

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:56.059
 happened

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:57.259
 when

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:58.059
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.680
 repented

00:29:58.680 --> 00:29:59.200
 when he

00:29:59.200 --> 00:29:59.940
 recognized

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.599
 his need

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:00.920
 and he

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:01.379
 turned

00:30:01.379 --> 00:30:02.079
 to

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:02.559
 God

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:03.779
 God

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:04.299
 restored

00:30:04.299 --> 00:30:04.659
 him

00:30:04.659 --> 00:30:05.980
 do

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.099
 you

00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:06.259
 see

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.460
 how

00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:06.839
 gracious

00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:07.200
 God

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:07.399
 is

00:30:07.399 --> 00:30:07.519
 in

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:07.639
 the

00:30:07.639 --> 00:30:07.859
 midst

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.039
 of

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:08.319
 this

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:08.819
 his

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:09.079
 kingdom

00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:09.319
 was

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:09.539
 not

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:09.839
 taken

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:10.119
 from

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:10.299
 him

00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:10.700
 you

00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:11.119
 wonder

00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:11.559
 it's

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:11.799
 one of

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:11.980
 those

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:12.339
 places

00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:12.619
 in a

00:30:12.619 --> 00:30:12.740
 movie

00:30:12.740 --> 00:30:12.879
 where

00:30:12.879 --> 00:30:13.000
 you

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.179
 just

00:30:13.179 --> 00:30:13.440
 wonder

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:13.899
 what

00:30:13.899 --> 00:30:14.159
 in the

00:30:14.159 --> 00:30:14.359
 world

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:14.799
 happened

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:15.119
 in his

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.419
 kingdom

00:30:15.419 --> 00:30:15.740
 during

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:15.980
 these

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.259
 seven

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.599
 periods

00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:16.759
 of

00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:17.099
 time

00:30:17.099 --> 00:30:17.579
 who

00:30:17.579 --> 00:30:17.879
 was

00:30:17.879 --> 00:30:18.339
 ruling

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:18.619
 and

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:18.819
 what

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:19.000
 were

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:19.179
 they

00:30:19.179 --> 00:30:19.519
 saying

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.740
 about

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:19.940
 the

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:20.279
 king

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:20.659
 who

00:30:20.659 --> 00:30:20.819
 had

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:21.179
 suddenly

00:30:21.179 --> 00:30:21.899
 disappeared

00:30:21.899 --> 00:30:25.240
 but

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.559
 whatever

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:25.919
 did

00:30:25.919 --> 00:30:26.359
 happen

00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:26.899
 and however

00:30:26.899 --> 00:30:27.220
 those

00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:27.619
 things were

00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:28.099
 managed

00:30:28.099 --> 00:30:28.859
 God

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:29.259
 kept

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:29.480
 his

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:29.799
 kingdom

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.359
 for

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:30.659
 him

00:30:30.659 --> 00:30:33.059
 and

00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:33.240
 when

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.899
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:30:33.899 --> 00:30:34.339
 turned

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:34.959
 and lifted

00:30:34.959 --> 00:30:35.419
 his eyes

00:30:35.419 --> 00:30:36.279
 and acknowledged

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:37.000
 and did

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.919
 you notice

00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:38.319
 in his

00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:38.559
 hymn

00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:38.899
 what he

00:30:38.899 --> 00:30:39.279
 said

00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:41.359
 the

00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:41.659
 one

00:30:41.659 --> 00:30:42.159
 that I

00:30:42.159 --> 00:30:42.319
 am

00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:42.939
 acknowledging

00:30:42.939 --> 00:30:43.179
 in

00:30:43.179 --> 00:30:43.480
 worship

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.319
 his

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:44.859
 dominion

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:45.279
 is the

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:45.740
 greatest

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.299
 dominion

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:46.980
 his

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.379
 kingdom

00:30:47.379 --> 00:30:47.740
 is the

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.019
 kingdom

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:48.279
 that

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:48.699
 lasts

00:30:48.699 --> 00:30:49.179
 forever

00:30:49.179 --> 00:30:49.719
 and rules

00:30:49.719 --> 00:30:50.019
 over

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:50.459
 all

00:30:50.459 --> 00:30:50.879
 things

00:30:50.879 --> 00:30:51.399
 in

00:30:51.399 --> 00:30:51.759
 heaven

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.299
 and

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.619
 on

00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:53.159
 earth

00:30:53.159 --> 00:30:56.819
 I

00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:57.319
 acknowledge

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:58.000
 him

00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:01.119
 as the

00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:01.460
 one

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:01.819
 who

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:02.160
 rules

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.519
 over

00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:02.960
 all

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.799
 and

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:05.059
 God

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:05.579
 not only

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:06.180
 restores

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:06.380
 him

00:31:06.380 --> 00:31:06.539
 but

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.759
 God

00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:07.259
 blesses

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:07.500
 him

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:08.819
 still

00:31:08.819 --> 00:31:09.220
 more

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:09.660
 greatness

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:10.059
 was

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:10.480
 added

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.099
 to

00:31:11.099 --> 00:31:11.440
 me

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.119
 after

00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:13.339
 he

00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:13.480
 had

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:13.779
 humbled

00:31:13.779 --> 00:31:14.559
 himself

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.539
 and

00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:18.700
 did

00:31:18.700 --> 00:31:18.819
 you

00:31:18.819 --> 00:31:19.079
 notice

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:19.319
 that

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:19.500
 his

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:19.920
 reason

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.480
 returned

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.359
 pride

00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:22.759
 if

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.119
 pride

00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:23.599
 is a

00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:23.980
 form

00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:24.140
 of

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.740
 insanity

00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:25.980
 humility

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.640
 is

00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:26.900
 the

00:31:26.900 --> 00:31:28.820
 means

00:31:28.820 --> 00:31:29.300
 by

00:31:29.300 --> 00:31:29.740
 which

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.480
 we

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:30.920
 actually

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.240
 see

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.600
 things

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:32.000
 rightly

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:32.840
 we

00:31:32.840 --> 00:31:32.960
 are

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:33.120
 the

00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:33.420
 most

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:34.040
 reasonable

00:31:34.040 --> 00:31:34.560
 people

00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:35.240
 when

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:35.380
 we

00:31:35.380 --> 00:31:35.519
 are

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:35.940
 humble

00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:36.780
 not

00:31:36.780 --> 00:31:37.220
 proud

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:43.400
 and

00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:43.780
 so we

00:31:43.780 --> 00:31:43.980
 know

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.200
 how

00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:44.800
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:31:44.800 --> 00:31:45.380
 got there

00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:45.759
 through

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.160
 this

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.680
 incredible

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.480
 experience

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:48.620
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:31:48.620 --> 00:31:49.100
 the king

00:31:49.100 --> 00:31:49.480
 over

00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:49.980
 Babylon

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.600
 the

00:31:50.600 --> 00:31:50.940
 greatest

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:51.420
 power

00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:51.880
 in

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:52.540
 that

00:31:52.540 --> 00:31:52.880
 part

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:52.980
 of

00:31:52.980 --> 00:31:53.120
 the

00:31:53.120 --> 00:31:53.440
 world

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:53.840
 at least

00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:54.200
 at that

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:54.560
 time

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:54.940
 from

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:55.159
 the

00:31:55.159 --> 00:31:56.039
 biblical

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:56.519
 standpoint

00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:56.720
 it

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:56.859
 was

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:57.019
 the

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:57.220
 only

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:57.480
 part

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:57.559
 of

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:57.679
 the

00:31:57.679 --> 00:31:57.940
 world

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:58.659
 so

00:31:58.659 --> 00:31:59.079
 it

00:31:59.079 --> 00:31:59.319
 was

00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:00.279
 the

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.679
 greatest

00:32:00.679 --> 00:32:01.059
 kingdom

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.500
 ever

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:03.619
 or the

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:03.879
 greatest

00:32:03.879 --> 00:32:04.200
 kingdom

00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:04.539
 of that

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:05.039
 time

00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:05.819
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:06.379
 was ruling

00:32:06.379 --> 00:32:06.899
 over it

00:32:06.899 --> 00:32:07.339
 and yet

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:07.759
 he

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.440
 at the

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:08.700
 end

00:32:08.700 --> 00:32:09.079
 was the

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.299
 one

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.579
 saying

00:32:09.579 --> 00:32:09.799
 there

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:10.119
 is a

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:10.419
 most

00:32:10.419 --> 00:32:10.720
 high

00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:11.039
 God

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:11.559
 heaven

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:12.099
 and

00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:12.359
 he

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:12.559
 is

00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:12.700
 the

00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:12.879
 one

00:32:12.879 --> 00:32:13.099
 who

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:13.460
 rules

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:13.720
 over

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.179
 all

00:32:14.179 --> 00:32:15.059
 he

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.240
 is

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.339
 the

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:15.460
 one

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:15.619
 who

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:15.899
 rules

00:32:15.899 --> 00:32:16.099
 over

00:32:16.099 --> 00:32:16.279
 the

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.559
 kingdom

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:16.779
 of

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:17.039
 men

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:17.200
 and

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:17.440
 gives

00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:17.579
 it

00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:17.740
 to

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:17.960
 whom

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.139
 he

00:32:18.139 --> 00:32:18.440
 will

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:19.339
 and

00:32:19.339 --> 00:32:19.519
 he

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:19.819
 sets

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:20.220
 over

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:20.559
 them

00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:21.079
 those

00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:21.839
 who

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.139
 humble

00:32:22.139 --> 00:32:22.819
 themselves

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:24.980
 the

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:25.459
 lowliest

00:32:25.459 --> 00:32:25.939
 ones

00:32:25.939 --> 00:32:29.759
 so

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:29.959
 this

00:32:29.959 --> 00:32:30.099
 is

00:32:30.099 --> 00:32:30.259
 our

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:30.659
 story

00:32:30.659 --> 00:32:31.099
 what

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:31.279
 are we

00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:31.579
 to do

00:32:31.579 --> 00:32:31.779
 with

00:32:31.779 --> 00:32:31.980
 it

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:33.419
 how

00:32:33.419 --> 00:32:33.619
 are we

00:32:33.619 --> 00:32:33.720
 to

00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:34.199
 respond

00:32:34.199 --> 00:32:34.419
 to

00:32:34.419 --> 00:32:34.779
 this

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:36.220
 I

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:36.379
 think

00:32:36.379 --> 00:32:36.500
 there

00:32:36.500 --> 00:32:36.579
 are

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:36.740
 two

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:37.159
 things

00:32:37.159 --> 00:32:38.459
 there

00:32:38.459 --> 00:32:38.539
 are

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:38.720
 two

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:39.000
 things

00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:39.119
 in

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:39.279
 this

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:39.759
 passage

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.819
 that

00:32:40.819 --> 00:32:40.939
 we

00:32:40.939 --> 00:32:41.079
 are

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.539
 to

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:41.839
 to

00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:43.379
 glean

00:32:43.379 --> 00:32:43.659
 from

00:32:43.659 --> 00:32:43.799
 it

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:44.000
 for

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:44.199
 our

00:32:44.199 --> 00:32:44.539
 own

00:32:44.539 --> 00:32:45.039
 lives

00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.259
 one

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:46.420
 is

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:46.559
 that

00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:46.740
 there

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:46.879
 is

00:32:46.879 --> 00:32:47.019
 a

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:47.319
 warning

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:48.440
 there

00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:48.559
 is

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:48.720
 a

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:49.039
 warning

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:49.460
 in

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:49.859
 this

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.319
 to

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:51.579
 the

00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:52.039
 proud

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:52.279
 who

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:52.440
 would

00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:52.839
 exalt

00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:53.440
 themselves

00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:54.779
 this

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:54.920
 is

00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:55.119
 a

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:55.519
 warning

00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:57.099
 to

00:32:57.099 --> 00:32:57.279
 the

00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:57.879
 nations

00:32:57.879 --> 00:33:01.740
 how

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:02.279
 easily

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:03.899
 do

00:33:03.899 --> 00:33:04.119
 we

00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:04.819
 humans

00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:06.960
 in

00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:07.399
 arrogance

00:33:07.399 --> 00:33:08.279
 think

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:08.539
 that

00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:08.779
 our

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.019
 kingdom

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.279
 will

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.559
 last

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:10.000
 forever

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.779
 and

00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:13.000
 yet

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:13.259
 we

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.720
 know

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.059
 from

00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:15.579
 history

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:16.660
 that

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:16.839
 the

00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:17.160
 Romans

00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:17.500
 thought

00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:17.839
 that

00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:18.900
 and

00:33:18.900 --> 00:33:19.319
 Alexander

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:19.539
 the

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:19.839
 Great

00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:20.180
 thought

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:20.600
 that

00:33:20.600 --> 00:33:21.440
 and

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:21.799
 Genghis

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:22.180
 Khan

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:22.559
 thought

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:23.039
 that

00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:24.160
 and

00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:24.299
 the

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:24.460
 sun

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:24.700
 never

00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:25.000
 set

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:25.160
 on

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:25.299
 the

00:33:25.299 --> 00:33:25.559
 British

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.160
 empire

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:28.819
 and

00:33:28.819 --> 00:33:28.960
 if

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:29.079
 we

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:29.259
 want

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:29.360
 to

00:33:29.360 --> 00:33:29.500
 be

00:33:29.500 --> 00:33:29.819
 careful

00:33:29.819 --> 00:33:30.100
 we

00:33:30.100 --> 00:33:30.279
 would

00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:30.640
 say

00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:31.960
 perhaps

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:32.220
 we

00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:32.360
 are

00:33:32.360 --> 00:33:32.500
 the

00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:32.759
 most

00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:32.980
 in

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.240
 danger

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:33.480
 of

00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:33.680
 this

00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:33.860
 as

00:33:33.860 --> 00:33:34.279
 Americans

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:34.860
 today

00:33:34.860 --> 00:33:36.059
 because

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:36.400
 we

00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:36.579
 are

00:33:36.579 --> 00:33:36.860
 this

00:33:36.860 --> 00:33:37.200
 kingdom

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:38.059
 and

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:38.200
 if

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.480
 we

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.940
 think

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:39.360
 that

00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:39.579
 this

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:39.839
 kingdom

00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:40.120
 will

00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:41.140
 reign

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:41.600
 forever

00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:46.079
 let us

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:46.779
 recognize

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:47.259
 the

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:47.679
 danger

00:33:47.679 --> 00:33:48.459
 and

00:33:48.459 --> 00:33:48.619
 the

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:48.980
 warning

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.639
 of

00:33:49.639 --> 00:33:50.059
 those

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:50.299
 who

00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:50.879
 arrogantly

00:33:50.879 --> 00:33:51.419
 say

00:33:51.419 --> 00:33:52.359
 my

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:52.759
 kingdom

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.099
 and

00:33:53.099 --> 00:33:53.399
 my

00:33:53.399 --> 00:33:53.899
 glory

00:33:53.899 --> 00:33:56.419
 is

00:33:56.419 --> 00:33:56.579
 the

00:33:56.579 --> 00:33:56.919
 greatest

00:33:56.919 --> 00:33:57.379
 thing

00:33:57.379 --> 00:33:59.839
 as

00:33:59.839 --> 00:33:59.980
 we

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:00.339
 engage

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:00.599
 in our

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:00.919
 political

00:34:00.919 --> 00:34:01.599
 process

00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:01.879
 this

00:34:01.879 --> 00:34:02.259
 fall

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:04.299
 maybe

00:34:04.299 --> 00:34:04.599
 this

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.099
 humility

00:34:05.099 --> 00:34:05.379
 is

00:34:05.379 --> 00:34:05.619
 something

00:34:05.619 --> 00:34:05.839
 we

00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:05.980
 ought

00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:06.159
 to

00:34:06.159 --> 00:34:06.379
 look

00:34:06.379 --> 00:34:06.779
 for

00:34:06.779 --> 00:34:07.659
 and

00:34:07.659 --> 00:34:07.819
 to

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.079
 pray

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.500
 for

00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:09.000
 for

 passage

 it will

00:36:17.359 --> 00:36:17.819
 lead us

00:36:17.819 --> 00:36:18.399
 to ruin

00:36:18.399 --> 00:36:19.779
 whether

00:36:19.779 --> 00:36:20.219
 in this

00:36:20.219 --> 00:36:20.559
 life

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:20.859
 or in

00:36:20.859 --> 00:36:21.299
 eternity

00:36:21.299 --> 00:36:23.099
 if we

00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:23.759
 continue

00:36:23.759 --> 00:36:24.199
 to do

00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:24.539
 that

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:26.279
 one

00:36:26.279 --> 00:36:26.879
 commentator

00:36:26.879 --> 00:36:27.339
 says it

00:36:27.339 --> 00:36:27.799
 this way

00:36:27.799 --> 00:36:28.939
 we

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.340
 are a

00:36:29.340 --> 00:36:29.599
 bunch

00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:29.800
 of

00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:30.460
 nebuchadnezzar

00:36:30.460 --> 00:36:30.960
 clones

00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:32.000
 wanting

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:32.480
 to call

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:32.880
 our own

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:33.260
 shots

00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:33.840
 to direct

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.519
 our own

00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:35.380
 show

00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:35.900
 puny

00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:36.220
 as it

00:36:36.220 --> 00:36:36.619
 is

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:37.900
 and seldom

00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:38.880
 except in a

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.380
 rare moment

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:39.940
 of sanity

00:36:39.940 --> 00:36:41.280
 we stop

00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:41.880
 to consider

00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:42.900
 how asinine

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:43.760
 our passion

00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:44.960
 for self

00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:45.619
 deification

00:36:45.619 --> 00:36:46.639
 is

00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:48.599
 how silly

00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:49.139
 we are

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.619
 to think

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:49.940
 that it

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:50.720
 really is

00:36:50.720 --> 00:36:51.639
 about me

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:52.980
 when there

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:53.240
 is a

00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:53.760
 God most

00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.079
 high

00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:54.599
 in heaven

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:58.260
 what

00:36:58.260 --> 00:36:58.640
 might it

00:36:58.640 --> 00:36:59.120
 look like

00:36:59.120 --> 00:36:59.440
 in your

00:36:59.440 --> 00:36:59.760
 life

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:00.220
 if you

00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:00.560
 are in

00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:00.880
 danger

00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:01.400
 of this

00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:02.340
 if you

00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:03.060
 if this

00:37:03.060 --> 00:37:03.480
 warning

00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:04.060
 is for

00:37:04.060 --> 00:37:04.420
 you

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:08.000
 it

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:08.220
 might

00:37:08.220 --> 00:37:08.660
 look like

00:37:08.660 --> 00:37:09.360
 desperation

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.560
 I can

00:37:11.560 --> 00:37:11.880
 remember

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:12.560
 times like

00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:12.900
 this

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:13.600
 I remember

00:37:13.600 --> 00:37:14.040
 a staff

00:37:14.040 --> 00:37:14.280
 team

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:14.600
 that I

00:37:14.600 --> 00:37:14.880
 served

00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:15.160
 on

00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:16.700
 and we

00:37:16.700 --> 00:37:17.100
 were having

00:37:17.100 --> 00:37:17.360
 some

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:17.800
 conflict

00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:18.200
 and we

00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:18.780
 were working

00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:19.340
 through some

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:19.740
 things

00:37:19.740 --> 00:37:20.560
 and one

00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:20.860
 day I

00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:21.200
 kind of

00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:21.620
 laid down

00:37:21.620 --> 00:37:22.120
 my chips

00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:22.460
 I said

00:37:22.460 --> 00:37:22.840
 this is

00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:23.220
 where we

00:37:23.220 --> 00:37:23.600
 stand

00:37:23.600 --> 00:37:23.940
 and this

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:24.180
 is what

00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:24.460
 I think

00:37:24.460 --> 00:37:24.760
 we need

00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:25.180
 to do

00:37:25.179 --> 00:37:27.579
 and they

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:28.139
 responded

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:28.519
 with

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:29.379
 questions

00:37:29.379 --> 00:37:31.659
 and maybe

00:37:31.659 --> 00:37:32.239
 with a little

00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:32.819
 bit of

00:37:32.819 --> 00:37:34.000
 insolence

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:35.359
 and independence

00:37:35.359 --> 00:37:37.019
 I'm not

00:37:37.019 --> 00:37:37.460
 going to say

00:37:37.460 --> 00:37:37.919
 that it was

00:37:37.919 --> 00:37:39.139
 all on

00:37:39.139 --> 00:37:39.419
 me

00:37:39.419 --> 00:37:40.399
 but

00:37:40.399 --> 00:37:41.440
 at that

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:41.859
 moment

00:37:41.859 --> 00:37:42.940
 I lost

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:43.179
 it

00:37:43.179 --> 00:37:44.619
 I was

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:45.480
 so desperate

00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:46.199
 for them

00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:47.139
 to simply

00:37:47.139 --> 00:37:48.339
 recognize

00:37:48.339 --> 00:37:49.139
 my leadership

00:37:49.139 --> 00:37:49.960
 and follow

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:50.359
 me

00:37:50.359 --> 00:37:51.779
 and when

00:37:51.779 --> 00:37:52.480
 they didn't

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.419
 I did

00:37:53.419 --> 00:37:54.239
 not respond

00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:54.659
 in

00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:56.159
 patient

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.879
 strength

00:37:56.879 --> 00:37:57.079
 of

00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:57.519
 leadership

00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:58.879
 I

00:37:58.879 --> 00:37:59.359
 responded

00:37:59.359 --> 00:37:59.579
 in

00:37:59.579 --> 00:37:59.960
 anger

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:01.000
 I

00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:01.500
 responded

00:38:01.500 --> 00:38:01.739
 in

00:38:01.739 --> 00:38:02.399
 despair

00:38:02.399 --> 00:38:03.099
 and I

00:38:03.099 --> 00:38:03.559
 responded

00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:03.819
 in

00:38:03.819 --> 00:38:04.460
 desperation

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:07.659
 have you

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:08.059
 ever seen

00:38:08.059 --> 00:38:08.379
 that in

00:38:08.379 --> 00:38:08.699
 your own

00:38:08.699 --> 00:38:09.000
 heart

00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:09.940
 that

00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:10.619
 desperation

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:11.079
 of

00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:11.759
 if I

00:38:11.759 --> 00:38:12.359
 and you

00:38:12.359 --> 00:38:12.460
 know

00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:12.599
 what

00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:12.879
 happened

00:38:12.879 --> 00:38:13.159
 to me

00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:13.379
 I

00:38:13.379 --> 00:38:13.599
 said

00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:13.980
 if I

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:14.440
 can't

00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:15.259
 get

00:38:15.259 --> 00:38:15.639
 you

00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:15.899
 to

00:38:15.899 --> 00:38:16.179
 follow

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:16.440
 me

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:16.679
 I'm

00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:16.739
 going

00:38:16.739 --> 00:38:16.819
 to

00:38:16.819 --> 00:38:17.000
 take

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:17.139
 my

00:38:17.139 --> 00:38:17.279
 own

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:17.559
 marbles

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:17.679
 and

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:17.799
 go

00:38:17.799 --> 00:38:18.079
 home

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:19.659
 I

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:19.920
 walked

00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:20.119
 out

00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:20.199
 of

00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:20.319
 the

00:38:20.319 --> 00:38:20.639
 meeting

00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:21.279
 I

00:38:21.279 --> 00:38:21.440
 said

00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:21.559
 I'm

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:21.839
 done

00:38:21.839 --> 00:38:22.839
 when

00:38:22.839 --> 00:38:23.119
 you

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:23.299
 guys

00:38:23.299 --> 00:38:23.480
 aren't

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:23.619
 going to

00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:23.779
 want

00:38:23.779 --> 00:38:23.879
 to

00:38:23.879 --> 00:38:24.059
 follow

00:38:24.059 --> 00:38:24.219
 me

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:24.359
 I'm

00:38:24.359 --> 00:38:24.599
 done

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:26.179
 that

00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:26.359
 was

00:38:26.359 --> 00:38:26.559
 not

00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:26.679
 a

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:26.959
 godly

00:38:26.959 --> 00:38:27.519
 response

00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:29.399
 was

00:38:29.399 --> 00:38:29.599
 not

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:29.779
 my

00:38:29.779 --> 00:38:30.059
 best

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:30.500
 moment

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:32.639
 God

00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:32.959
 used

00:38:32.959 --> 00:38:33.079
 it

00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.259
 to

00:38:33.259 --> 00:38:33.439
 show

00:38:33.439 --> 00:38:33.599
 me

00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:33.980
 a lot

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:34.980
 in

00:38:34.980 --> 00:38:35.480
 retrospect

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.920
 have

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:37.940
 ever

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.320
 seen

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:38.780
 yourself

00:38:38.780 --> 00:38:39.000
 get

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.240
 that

00:38:39.240 --> 00:38:39.539
 way

00:38:39.539 --> 00:38:40.840
 with

00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:40.940
 your

00:38:40.940 --> 00:38:41.380
 kids

00:38:41.380 --> 00:38:41.980
 with

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:42.079
 your

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:42.559
 spouse

00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.659
 maybe

00:38:45.659 --> 00:38:46.179
 even

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:47.159
 in the

00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:47.579
 internal

00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:48.019
 world

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.320
 of your

00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:48.639
 own

00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:49.000
 private

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:49.519
 life

00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.820
 are you

00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:53.119
 trying to

00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:56.420
 the

00:42:56.420 --> 00:42:56.719
 midst

00:42:56.719 --> 00:42:57.039
 of

00:42:57.039 --> 00:42:57.980
 facing

00:42:57.980 --> 00:42:59.179
 these

00:42:59.179 --> 00:42:59.900
 situations

00:42:59.900 --> 00:43:00.400
 you

00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:00.579

00:43:00.579 --> 00:43:00.779
 know

00:43:00.779 --> 00:43:00.940
 that

00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:01.179
 there's

00:43:01.179 --> 00:43:01.319
 a

00:43:01.319 --> 00:43:01.619
 God

00:43:01.619 --> 00:43:02.219
 most

00:43:02.219 --> 00:43:02.480
 high

00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:02.659
 in

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:02.960
 heaven

00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:03.539
 and

 that

00:43:03.699 --> 00:43:03.839
 is

00:43:03.839 --> 00:43:04.119
 great

00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:04.559
 comfort

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:05.379
 and

00:43:05.379 --> 00:43:05.619
 not

00:43:05.619 --> 00:43:05.839
 only

00:43:05.839 --> 00:43:06.079
 does

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:06.239
 he

00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:06.579
 rule

00:43:06.579 --> 00:43:06.839
 over

00:43:06.839 --> 00:43:07.139
 there

00:43:07.139 --> 00:43:07.579
 but

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:07.859
 God

00:43:07.859 --> 00:43:08.639
 pursues

00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:09.019
 us

00:43:10.059 --> 00:43:10.359
 God

00:43:10.359 --> 00:43:10.559
 is

00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:11.179
 pursuing

00:43:11.179 --> 00:43:11.980
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:12.480
 this

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:12.859
 is the

00:43:12.859 --> 00:43:13.379
 fourth

00:43:13.379 --> 00:43:13.980
 chapter

00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:15.099
 where

00:43:15.099 --> 00:43:15.599
 we see

00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:16.359
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:43:16.359 --> 00:43:16.859
 and God

00:43:16.859 --> 00:43:17.599
 interacting

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:18.699
 and every

00:43:18.699 --> 00:43:19.059
 time

00:43:19.059 --> 00:43:19.339
 God

00:43:19.339 --> 00:43:19.759
 has shown

00:43:19.759 --> 00:43:20.019
 up

00:43:20.019 --> 00:43:20.519
 so

00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:20.980
 greatly

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:21.239
 that

00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:21.379
 at

00:43:21.379 --> 00:43:21.480
 the

00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:21.579
 end

00:43:21.579 --> 00:43:21.679
 of

00:43:22.179 --> 00:43:22.819
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:43:22.819 --> 00:43:23.079
 is saying

00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:23.319
 wow

00:43:23.319 --> 00:43:23.679
 that God

00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:23.960

00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:24.299
 great

00:43:24.299 --> 00:43:24.519
 and

00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:24.960
 the next

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:25.159
 chapter

00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:25.399
 is like

00:43:25.399 --> 00:43:25.699
 wow

00:43:25.699 --> 00:43:25.919
 he's

00:43:25.919 --> 00:43:26.239
 really

00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:26.619
 great

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:26.939
 and

00:43:26.939 --> 00:43:27.259
 the next

00:43:27.259 --> 00:43:27.480
 chapter

00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:27.779
 is like

00:43:27.779 --> 00:43:28.279
 wow

00:43:28.279 --> 00:43:28.639
 he's

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:29.019
 super

00:43:29.019 --> 00:43:29.460
 great

00:43:29.460 --> 00:43:31.099
 and

00:43:31.099 --> 00:43:31.259
 yet

00:43:31.259 --> 00:43:31.419
 he

00:43:31.419 --> 00:43:31.779
 still

00:43:31.779 --> 00:43:32.199
 doesn't

00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:32.500
 believe

00:43:32.500 --> 00:43:32.699
 in

00:43:32.699 --> 00:43:32.980
 him

00:43:32.980 --> 00:43:33.759
 if

00:43:33.759 --> 00:43:33.879
 you

00:43:33.879 --> 00:43:34.059
 look

00:43:34.059 --> 00:43:34.219
 through

00:43:34.219 --> 00:43:34.419
 the

00:43:34.419 --> 00:43:34.759
 details

00:43:34.759 --> 00:43:34.919
 of

00:43:34.919 --> 00:43:35.039
 the

00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:35.299
 story

00:43:35.299 --> 00:43:35.480
 he

00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:35.759
 still

00:43:35.759 --> 00:43:36.079
 thinks

00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:36.259
 that

00:43:36.259 --> 00:43:36.619
 Daniel

00:43:36.619 --> 00:43:36.980
 has

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.279
 like

00:43:37.279 --> 00:43:37.559
 some

00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:38.079
 spirits

00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:38.339
 from

00:43:38.339 --> 00:43:38.480
 the

00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:38.899
 gods

00:43:38.899 --> 00:43:39.339
 he

00:43:39.339 --> 00:43:39.699
 can't

00:43:39.699 --> 00:43:40.199
 acknowledge

00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:40.639
 that

00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:41.159
 Daniel's

00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:41.539
 power

00:43:41.539 --> 00:43:41.899
 comes

00:43:41.899 --> 00:43:42.099
 from

00:43:42.099 --> 00:43:42.419
 God

00:43:42.419 --> 00:43:42.659
 most

00:43:42.659 --> 00:43:42.980
 high

00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:43.819
 but

00:43:43.819 --> 00:43:43.960
 at

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:44.119
 the

00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:44.339
 end

00:43:44.339 --> 00:43:44.480
 he

00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:44.960
 does

00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.079
 God

00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:46.859
 graciously

00:43:46.859 --> 00:43:47.359
 pursued

00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:47.559
 him

00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:47.980
 even

00:43:47.980 --> 00:43:48.420
 through

00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:48.980
 this

00:43:48.980 --> 00:43:49.539
 great

00:43:49.539 --> 00:43:50.240
 trial

00:43:50.240 --> 00:43:50.480
 and

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:50.680
 this

00:43:50.680 --> 00:43:51.900
 humiliation

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:53.700
 we

00:43:53.700 --> 00:43:54.000
 talk

00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:54.260
 about

00:43:54.260 --> 00:43:54.740
 humbling

00:43:54.740 --> 00:43:55.000
 like

00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:55.300
 that's

00:43:55.300 --> 00:43:55.480
 a

00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:56.099
 noble

00:43:56.099 --> 00:43:56.420
 thing

00:43:56.420 --> 00:43:56.559
 and

00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:57.200
 humiliation

00:43:57.200 --> 00:43:57.539
 like

00:43:57.539 --> 00:43:57.720
 it's

00:43:57.720 --> 00:43:57.860
 a

00:43:57.860 --> 00:43:58.180
 terrible

00:43:58.180 --> 00:43:58.500
 thing

00:43:58.500 --> 00:43:58.940
 but

00:43:58.940 --> 00:43:59.200
 don't

00:43:59.200 --> 00:43:59.340
 you

00:43:59.340 --> 00:43:59.559
 see

00:43:59.559 --> 00:43:59.880
 here

00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:00.720
 God

00:44:00.720 --> 00:44:01.880
 humiliates

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:02.900
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:44:02.900 --> 00:44:05.660
 so that

00:44:05.660 --> 00:44:06.079
 he might

00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:06.280
 be

00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:06.880
 restored

00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:08.099
 so that

00:44:08.099 --> 00:44:08.460
 he might

00:44:08.460 --> 00:44:09.160
 be freed

00:44:09.160 --> 00:44:09.599
 from the

00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:10.120
 insanity

00:44:10.120 --> 00:44:10.579
 of his

00:44:10.579 --> 00:44:11.000
 pride

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:17.300
 and

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:17.539
 friends

00:44:17.539 --> 00:44:17.760
 he's

00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:18.139
 pursuing

00:44:18.139 --> 00:44:18.579
 you

00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:23.519
 he won't

00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:23.880
 let you

00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:24.320
 take the

00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:24.639
 ring

00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:25.420
 and he

00:44:25.420 --> 00:44:25.579
 won't

00:44:25.579 --> 00:44:25.980
 let the

00:44:25.980 --> 00:44:26.199
 ring

00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:26.539
 rule

00:44:26.539 --> 00:44:26.760
 you

00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:27.139
 forever

00:44:27.139 --> 00:44:27.519
 if you

00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:27.800
 already

00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:28.219
 have

00:44:28.219 --> 00:44:29.679
 he's

00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:30.079
 pursuing

00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:30.420
 you

00:44:30.420 --> 00:44:30.599
 and

00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:31.019
 calling

00:44:31.019 --> 00:44:31.260
 you

00:44:31.260 --> 00:44:31.480
 to

00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:31.920
 repent

00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:33.099
 to

00:44:33.099 --> 00:44:33.500
 repent

00:44:33.500 --> 00:44:33.719
 of

00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:33.880
 your

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:34.460
 pride

00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:35.400
 to

00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:35.800
 humble

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:36.320
 yourself

00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:36.880
 before

00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:37.320
 him

00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:41.019
 and

00:44:41.019 --> 00:44:41.260
 friends

00:44:41.260 --> 00:44:41.620
 this is

00:44:41.620 --> 00:44:41.940
 not a

00:44:41.940 --> 00:44:42.360
 surprise

00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:42.900
 is it

00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:44.600
 because

00:44:44.600 --> 00:44:44.880
 when

00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:45.340
 God

00:44:45.340 --> 00:44:45.580
 did

00:44:45.580 --> 00:44:45.740
 the

00:44:45.740 --> 00:44:46.080
 greatest

00:44:46.080 --> 00:44:46.460
 work

00:44:46.460 --> 00:44:46.600
 in

00:44:46.600 --> 00:44:46.720
 the

00:44:46.720 --> 00:44:46.940
 world

00:44:46.940 --> 00:44:47.160
 to

00:44:47.160 --> 00:44:47.660
 establish

00:44:47.660 --> 00:44:48.019
 his

00:44:48.019 --> 00:44:48.360
 kingdom

00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:49.580
 how

00:44:49.580 --> 00:44:49.760
 did

00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:49.900
 he

00:44:49.900 --> 00:44:50.140
 do

00:44:50.140 --> 00:44:50.440
 it

00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:52.240
 Isaiah

00:44:52.240 --> 00:44:52.480
 had

00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:52.900
 predicted

00:44:52.900 --> 00:44:53.160
 that

00:44:53.160 --> 00:44:53.280
 the

00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:53.519
 one

00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:53.680
 who

00:44:53.680 --> 00:44:53.840
 would

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:54.140
 come

00:44:54.140 --> 00:44:54.320
 would

00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:54.440
 be

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:54.620
 the

00:44:54.620 --> 00:44:55.000
 king

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:55.160
 of

00:44:55.160 --> 00:44:55.500
 kings

00:44:55.500 --> 00:44:55.660
 and

00:44:55.660 --> 00:44:55.800
 the

00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:56.120
 lord

00:44:56.120 --> 00:44:56.300
 of

00:44:56.300 --> 00:44:56.860
 lords

00:44:56.860 --> 00:45:00.460
 but

00:45:00.460 --> 00:45:00.620
 when

00:45:00.620 --> 00:45:00.760
 he

00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:01.039
 came

00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:01.240
 he

00:45:01.240 --> 00:45:01.680
 came

00:45:01.680 --> 00:45:03.280
 in

00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:03.400
 a

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:03.680
 humble

00:45:03.680 --> 00:45:04.180
 estate

00:45:04.180 --> 00:45:06.700
 he

00:45:06.699 --> 00:45:06.980
 came

00:45:06.980 --> 00:45:07.099
 in

00:45:07.099 --> 00:45:07.199
 a

00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:07.519
 manger

00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.239
 he

00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:09.579
 lived

00:45:09.579 --> 00:45:09.799
 a

00:45:09.799 --> 00:45:10.399
 life

00:45:10.399 --> 00:45:10.599
 of

00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:11.000
 relative

00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:11.759
 obscurity

00:45:11.759 --> 00:45:14.699
 and

00:45:14.699 --> 00:45:14.839
 when

00:45:14.839 --> 00:45:14.980
 he

00:45:14.980 --> 00:45:15.139
 took

00:45:15.139 --> 00:45:15.319
 up

00:45:15.319 --> 00:45:15.500
 his

00:45:15.500 --> 00:45:16.039
 ministry

00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.419
 Jesus

00:45:18.419 --> 00:45:22.059
 he

00:45:22.059 --> 00:45:22.439
 walked

00:45:22.439 --> 00:45:22.659
 in

00:45:22.659 --> 00:45:23.319
 both

00:45:23.319 --> 00:45:24.359
 humble

00:45:24.359 --> 00:45:24.859
 obedience

00:45:24.859 --> 00:45:25.259
 to

00:45:25.259 --> 00:45:25.480
 his

00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:25.859
 father

00:45:25.859 --> 00:45:29.759
 and

00:45:29.759 --> 00:45:29.980
 with

00:45:29.980 --> 00:45:30.259
 a

00:45:30.259 --> 00:45:30.579
 fierce

00:45:30.579 --> 00:45:31.199
 desire

00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:32.339
 to

00:45:32.339 --> 00:45:32.699
 fight

00:45:32.699 --> 00:45:32.899
 the

00:45:32.899 --> 00:45:33.199
 battle

00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:33.659
 against

00:45:33.659 --> 00:45:34.019
 any

00:45:34.019 --> 00:45:34.480
 pride

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:35.719
 he

00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:35.919
 did

00:45:35.919 --> 00:45:36.039
 it

00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:36.159
 at

00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:36.299
 the

00:45:36.299 --> 00:45:36.679
 beginning

00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:37.359
 in

00:45:37.359 --> 00:45:37.500
 the

00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:38.199
 temptations

00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:38.799
 and

00:45:38.799 --> 00:45:38.919
 he

00:45:38.919 --> 00:45:39.079
 did

00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:39.219
 it

00:45:39.219 --> 00:45:39.359
 at

00:45:39.359 --> 00:45:39.519
 the

00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:39.980
 end

00:45:39.980 --> 00:45:41.099
 do

00:45:41.099 --> 00:45:41.159
 you

00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:41.480
 remember

00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:41.739
 his

00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:42.119
 words

00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:42.259
 in

00:45:42.259 --> 00:45:42.379
 the

00:45:42.379 --> 00:45:42.619
 garden

00:45:42.619 --> 00:45:42.779
 of

00:45:42.779 --> 00:45:43.379
 Gethsemane

00:45:43.379 --> 00:45:45.259
 father

00:45:45.259 --> 00:45:46.000
 is there

00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:46.199
 any

00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:46.419
 other

00:45:46.419 --> 00:45:46.859
 way

00:45:46.859 --> 00:45:48.079
 if

00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:48.219
 you

00:45:48.219 --> 00:45:48.399
 can

00:45:48.399 --> 00:45:48.659
 let

00:45:48.659 --> 00:45:48.899
 this

00:45:48.899 --> 00:45:49.179
 cup

00:45:49.179 --> 00:45:49.579
 pass

00:45:49.579 --> 00:45:49.759
 me

00:45:49.759 --> 00:45:50.179
 by

00:45:50.179 --> 00:45:51.339
 please

00:45:51.339 --> 00:45:51.559
 would

00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:51.679
 you

00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:51.879
 do

00:45:51.879 --> 00:45:52.059
 it

00:45:52.059 --> 00:45:52.299
 but

00:45:52.299 --> 00:45:52.539
 not

00:45:52.539 --> 00:45:52.819
 my

00:45:52.819 --> 00:45:53.139
 will

00:45:53.139 --> 00:45:54.679
 but

00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:54.919
 your

00:45:54.919 --> 00:45:55.239
 will

00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:55.460
 be

00:45:55.460 --> 00:45:55.799
 done

00:45:55.799 --> 00:45:59.139
 and

00:45:59.139 --> 00:45:59.299
 so

00:45:59.299 --> 00:45:59.480
 the

00:45:59.480 --> 00:45:59.719
 words

00:45:59.719 --> 00:45:59.899
 we

00:45:59.899 --> 00:46:00.119
 read

00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:01.179
 earlier

00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:02.039
 he

00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:02.239
 did

00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:02.440
 not

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:02.779
 account

00:46:02.779 --> 00:46:03.359
 equality

00:46:03.359 --> 00:46:03.619
 with

00:46:03.619 --> 00:46:03.899
 God

00:46:03.899 --> 00:46:04.199
 something

00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:04.399
 to

00:46:04.399 --> 00:46:04.559
 be

00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:04.859
 grasped

00:46:04.859 --> 00:46:05.039
 but

00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:05.440
 humbled

00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:06.059
 himself

00:46:06.059 --> 00:46:06.940
 humbled

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:07.400
 himself

00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:07.619
 to

00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:07.860
 take

00:46:07.860 --> 00:46:08.039
 on

00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:08.500
 human

00:46:08.500 --> 00:46:08.940
 form

00:46:08.940 --> 00:46:09.519
 humbled

00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:09.900
 himself

00:46:09.900 --> 00:46:10.119
 to

00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:10.360
 take

00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:10.619
 on

00:46:10.619 --> 00:46:11.559
 slave

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:12.000
 form

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:12.559
 humbled

00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:13.039
 himself

00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:13.279
 to

00:46:13.279 --> 00:46:13.679
 take

00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:14.099
 on

00:46:14.099 --> 00:46:15.039
 death

00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:15.460
 at the

00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:16.000
 cross

00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:16.659
 for our

00:46:16.659 --> 00:46:17.259
 sins

00:46:17.259 --> 00:46:18.199
 for our

00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:18.779
 pride

00:46:18.779 --> 00:46:19.579
 for our

00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:20.159
 arrogance

00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:20.679
 self

00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:21.599
 exaltation

00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:22.579
 for our

00:46:22.579 --> 00:46:23.340
 kingdom

00:46:23.340 --> 00:46:24.539
 building

00:46:24.539 --> 00:46:26.079
 name

00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:42.179
 and

00:46:42.179 --> 00:46:42.800
 death

00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:47.200
 this is how he pursues us.

00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:49.660
 And this is how he wins us.

00:46:49.820 --> 00:46:52.180
 And this is how he establishes his kingdom.

00:46:52.600 --> 00:46:55.560
 Because by his death and then by his resurrection,

00:46:56.360 --> 00:46:59.840
 he has defeated the power.

00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:05.660
 And the call to repent is a call to come.

00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.500
 Call to come and not to forsake any of your kingdoms,

00:47:08.500 --> 00:47:09.680
 but to take your kingdoms

00:47:09.680 --> 00:47:12.100
 and to put them under the kingdom of God.

00:47:12.099 --> 00:47:14.860
 To take your life and to put it under

00:47:14.860 --> 00:47:17.719
 the rulership of the Most High.

00:47:20.739 --> 00:47:24.639
 He makes this claim to all the nations of the earth.

00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:26.799
 Pastor Greg pointed out two weeks ago,

00:47:26.900 --> 00:47:29.420
 this is right in the middle of the Aramaic section

00:47:29.420 --> 00:47:32.519
 of this book, which is the trade language

00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:35.860
 meant to be proclaimed to all nations.

00:47:36.059 --> 00:47:38.539
 That this God, the God of Daniel,

00:47:38.699 --> 00:47:39.819
 is the God Most High,

00:47:39.820 --> 00:47:42.400
 who claims rulership over everything.

00:47:42.820 --> 00:47:44.440
 He is not a tribal God.

00:47:44.580 --> 00:47:46.340
 He is not a local God.

00:47:46.820 --> 00:47:48.200
 He is a global God.

00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:52.000
 And he calls all people everywhere to repent.

00:47:53.580 --> 00:47:55.940
 To repent of their pride and to turn to him.

00:47:56.580 --> 00:47:59.680
 And to see how he has lovingly pursued them

00:47:59.680 --> 00:48:01.760
 in his son,

00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:03.680
 who built his kingdom,

00:48:03.680 --> 00:48:06.120
 not through arrogant self-exaltation,

00:48:06.520 --> 00:48:09.680
 but in humble self-sacrifice.

00:48:11.040 --> 00:48:12.840
 Dying on the cross for our sins.

00:48:13.180 --> 00:48:15.600
 So that he might be the one

00:48:15.600 --> 00:48:18.820
 exalted to the highest place

00:48:18.820 --> 00:48:20.860
 and given a name that is greater

00:48:20.860 --> 00:48:22.320
 than every other name.

00:48:22.520 --> 00:48:24.920
 So that every knee shall bow

00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:26.960
 and every tongue will confess

00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:28.120
 that Jesus is Lord.

00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:32.679
 Friends, I wonder if you this morning

00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:34.779
 hear this word as a comfort

00:48:34.779 --> 00:48:36.400
 that God is with you

00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.199
 as you are humbly walking.

00:48:39.299 --> 00:48:40.199
 Stand firm.

00:48:40.339 --> 00:48:41.099
 Hold to him.

00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:45.480
 I wonder if some of you hear this as a warning.

00:48:46.940 --> 00:48:49.599
 That you have been building your own kingdom

00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:51.359
 in your own way.

00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.360
 God calls you

00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:55.380
 to turn from the foolishness

00:48:55.380 --> 00:48:56.840
 of that pride.

00:48:57.940 --> 00:48:59.820
 And to humble yourself before him.

00:49:00.900 --> 00:49:02.900
 And put yourself in the place of receiving

00:49:02.900 --> 00:49:04.680
 just like Nebuchadnezzar did.

00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:07.880
 Receiving all that God gives to you.

00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:10.200
 Knowing that it will be enough.

00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:11.559
 Let's pray.

00:49:15.300 --> 00:49:17.880
 Lord, we thank you for this story

00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:18.720
 and for your word.

00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:22.279
 God, I pray you will use it in our lives

00:49:22.279 --> 00:49:25.019
 to humble us and to see you

00:49:25.019 --> 00:49:27.619
 more clearly.

00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:30.879
 Lord, we honor you and worship you

00:49:30.879 --> 00:49:32.099
 as the God most high.

00:49:33.019 --> 00:49:34.199
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:49:34.839 --> 00:49:35.099
 Amen.
