00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.200
 It's right there. It's right there.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.419
 That means we're praying hard.

00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:14.620
 Church, let's open up our Bibles to the book of Daniel once more.

00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:20.660
 The book of Daniel. If you've been in business with us or have been with us over the past several weeks,

00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.100
 you know we've been walking through the book of Daniel chapter by chapter.

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:28.379
 We're almost to the end of the first half. We broke it up into two halves.

00:00:28.379 --> 00:00:31.679
 We have the narrative sections in chapters 1 through 6.

00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:41.739
 Then we're going to pause as we go through some psalms for the summer before we get to some of the scary stuff in verses 7 through 12.

00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:45.239
 Right now we're in chapter 5 of the book of Daniel.

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:51.060
 When you found that in your Bibles, I ask, would you stand in honor of the reading of God's word, Daniel chapter 5?

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:05.620
 King Belshazzar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords and drank wine in front of the thousand.

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.280
 Belshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar, his father,

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:15.159
 had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought,

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.180
 that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:25.620
 Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem.

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.440
 And the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:37.920
 They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:45.040
 Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace,

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:46.700
 opposite the lampstand.

00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:49.040
 And the king saw the hand as it wrote.

00:01:50.020 --> 00:01:52.620
 Then the king's color changed and his thoughts alarmed him.

00:01:53.100 --> 00:01:55.620
 His limbs gave way and his knees knocked together.

00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:01.100
 The king called loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers.

00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:03.599
 The king declared to the wise men of Babylon,

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.939
 Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation

00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:12.539
 shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck

00:02:12.539 --> 00:02:14.699
 and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:17.719
 Then all the king's wise men came in,

00:02:18.079 --> 00:02:22.959
 but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.019
 Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed and his color changed and his lords were perplexed.

00:02:29.619 --> 00:02:32.859
 The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords,

00:02:33.399 --> 00:02:35.620
 came into the banqueting hall and the queen declared,

00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:37.359
 O king, live forever.

00:02:37.899 --> 00:02:40.579
 Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.

00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:45.100
 There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods.

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:48.860
 In the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom

00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:51.120
 like the wisdom of the gods were found in him.

00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:54.460
 And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, your father the king,

00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:59.900
 made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers,

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:03.920
 because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams,

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:07.439
 explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel,

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.139
 whom the king named Beltshazzar.

00:03:10.579 --> 00:03:13.819
 Now let Daniel be called and he will show the interpretation.

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.419
 Then Daniel was brought in before the king.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.500
 The king answered and said to Daniel,

00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.219
 You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah,

00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.800
 whom the king, my father, brought from Judah.

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.860
 I have heard of you that the spirit of the gods is in you,

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.759
 and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:36.599
 Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.460
 to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation,

00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:42.759
 but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.

00:03:43.359 --> 00:03:47.280
 But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems.

00:03:48.019 --> 00:03:52.299
 Now, if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation,

00:03:52.859 --> 00:03:56.900
 you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck

00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:59.019
 and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.159
 Then Daniel answered and said before the king,

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:06.079
 Let your gifts be for yourself and give your rewards to another.

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:09.079
 Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king

00:04:09.079 --> 00:04:11.099
 and make known to him the interpretation.

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:15.479
 O king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar, your father,

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:19.240
 kingship and greatness and glory and majesty.

00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:21.980
 And because of the greatness that he gave him,

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:26.500
 all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him.

00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.800
 Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive.

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.860
 Whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled.

00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:36.300
 But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened,

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.439
 so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his kingly throne,

00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:42.199
 and glory was taken from him.

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:45.580
 He was driven from among the children of mankind,

00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:48.480
 and his mind was made like that of a beast,

00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:50.960
 and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.220
 He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven,

00:04:55.220 --> 00:05:00.380
 until he knew that the most high God rules the kingdom of mankind

00:05:00.380 --> 00:05:02.920
 and sets over it whom he will.

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.440
 And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart,

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.100
 though you knew all of this.

00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:13.820
 But you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven.

00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:16.880
 And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you,

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:19.940
 and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines,

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.320
 have drunk wine from them.

00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:23.939
 And you have praised the gods of silver and gold,

00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.079
 of bronze and iron and wood and stone,

00:05:26.219 --> 00:05:28.699
 which do not see or hear or know.

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.920
 But the God in whose hand is your breath,

00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.180
 and whose are all your ways,

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:35.939
 you have not honored.

00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:39.259
 Then from his presence the hand was sent,

00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:41.100
 and this writing was inscribed.

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.620
 And this is the writing that was inscribed.

00:05:44.339 --> 00:05:46.899
 Many, many, tekel and parson.

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:49.620
 This is the interpretation of the matter.

00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:53.920
 Many, many, God has numbered the days of your kingdom

00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.399
 and brought it to an end.

00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:59.980
 Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:06.100
 Paris, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:08.819
 Then Belshazzar gave the command,

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.000
 and Daniel was clothed with purple,

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.340
 a chain of gold was put around his neck,

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.620
 and a proclamation was made about him

00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:18.000
 that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.160
 That very night,

00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.899
 Belshazzar, the Chaldean king,

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:24.980
 was killed,

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:27.680
 and Darius the Mede received the kingdom,

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.800
 being about 62 years old.

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:34.240
 The grass withers and the flower fades,

00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:36.720
 but the word of our Lord endures forever.

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.259
 Would you pray with me?

00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:38.659
 Lord,

00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:41.920
 we thank you for your word.

00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:46.839
 We thank you for the gift that it is to us,

00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:49.039
 and we pray now as we open it,

00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:50.480
 as we seek you in it,

00:06:50.539 --> 00:06:52.259
 Lord, would you humble us?

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.120
 Would you lead us to praise you and honor you as you deserve?

00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.199
 We pray in Jesus' name.

00:06:58.219 --> 00:06:58.480
 Amen.

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:00.039
 You may be seated.

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:00.120
 Amen.

00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:11.360
 Well, Daniel chapter 5 begins with a little bit of a shock, doesn't it?

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:14.740
 King Belshazzar is now on the scene,

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:15.740
 and as you read this,

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.420
 you kind of wonder,

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:18.759
 well, what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar?

00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:19.480
 Last chapter,

00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.620
 we were discussing King Nebuchadnezzar,

00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:22.460
 his restoration.

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.280
 He was doing well.

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:25.000
 He had been humbled,

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:28.060
 but brought back to right relationship with the Lord,

00:07:28.060 --> 00:07:28.959
 and you wonder,

00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.920
 well, where did King Nebuchadnezzar go?

00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.079
 Well, Daniel doesn't tell us.

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.899
 He just goes from one king to another,

00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:35.639
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.339
 and now to Belshazzar,

00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:38.660
 and it's jarring for us,

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.000
 but I think it's also helpful for us

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.319
 in order to illustrate the point of the book of Daniel.

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:46.819
 We're five chapters in now,

00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:51.079
 and I hope that you're starting to get the big picture of Daniel's book.

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:55.319
 Daniel's aim is to teach us about the kingdom of man

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.980
 and the coming kingdom of God.

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:01.639
 He's teaching us about God's place

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.439
 as the sovereign ruler of all things

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.819
 and our place as God's people,

00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:10.379
 our place as citizens of his kingdom

00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:14.100
 who are exiles here in the kingdom of man.

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:15.459
 That's the point of the book of Daniel.

00:08:16.019 --> 00:08:19.560
 In fact, if you want to know what the book of Daniel is about,

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:26.939
 the word king or kingdom appears 150 times in these 12 chapters.

00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:31.680
 That's a good clue to us about what this book is about.

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.419
 The kingdom of man, it comes and goes.

00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:35.919
 It takes many different shapes,

00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:36.960
 many different forms,

00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.500
 different rulers come,

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.700
 and different rulers go,

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:42.020
 but ultimately, in the kingdom of man,

00:08:42.160 --> 00:08:44.100
 nothing really changes.

00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:47.820
 The book of Daniel, it spans seven decades.

00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:51.740
 Daniel, who we first met as a teenager in chapter 1,

00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:53.360
 he's in his 80s now,

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:54.660
 here in chapter 5.

00:08:55.280 --> 00:08:56.460
 Time has come and gone.

00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:57.720
 There's a new king in place.

00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.160
 Everything has changed,

00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:00.980
 but nothing has changed,

00:09:01.339 --> 00:09:02.799
 and that's exactly the point.

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:04.759
 Here in chapter 5,

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:06.100
 we meet the new boss,

00:09:06.199 --> 00:09:07.419
 same as the old boss.

00:09:08.819 --> 00:09:09.559
 What we see

00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.919
 is that that same ugly sin of pride

00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.199
 and disregard for the true king of kings

00:09:17.199 --> 00:09:19.980
 that characterizes the kingdom of man

00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:22.000
 in every place and in every age

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.860
 has cropped up yet again.

00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:26.620
 What we see, especially here in chapter 5,

00:09:26.779 --> 00:09:27.919
 is the truth that,

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:28.980
 in the end,

00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.339
 God will judge all human pride.

00:09:33.439 --> 00:09:34.100
 I'll say that again.

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.059
 The point of chapter 5

00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:37.039
 is to teach us that,

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.659
 ultimately,

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.480
 God will judge all human pride.

00:09:43.319 --> 00:09:44.199
 So this morning,

00:09:44.719 --> 00:09:46.039
 what I want us to see here

00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.120
 in Daniel chapter 5

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.839
 are four characteristics of human pride.

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.519
 Four characteristics of human pride.

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.720
 First,

00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.600
 pride ignores reality.

00:10:01.180 --> 00:10:04.060
 Pride ignores reality.

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:06.100
 I think it might be helpful here

00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:07.399
 in this first point

00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.480
 to provide some historical context

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.720
 for what's happening here in Babylon.

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:13.840
 So zoom out of these pages

00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:14.680
 just for a moment.

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:16.240
 Let's look to the pages of history.

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:18.379
 The pages of history tell us

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:22.059
 that Babylon fell to Cyrus of Persia

00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:25.059
 in October of 539 B.C.

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:26.639
 King Nebuchadnezzar,

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.360
 he died in 562 B.C.

00:10:29.860 --> 00:10:30.919
 And so if you're doing the math,

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.059
 we're at least 20 to 30 years

00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:35.139
 removed from the events of chapter 4

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:37.740
 by the time we come here to chapter 5.

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:39.759
 Now, I know that it says

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.080
 that Nebuchadnezzar is Belshazzar's father

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:43.019
 here in the text.

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:44.600
 It says that in verse 2,

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:45.399
 verse 11,

00:10:45.779 --> 00:10:46.759
 verse 18.

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:48.480
 But the word there

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.639
 that's translated father,

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.539
 it can also be translated,

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:53.399
 I think it's probably better translated,

00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:54.639
 as predecessor.

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:56.080
 Predecessor.

00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:57.799
 It doesn't necessarily

00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.740
 have to mean biological father.

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:01.840
 It's a predecessor.

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:02.820
 And so again,

00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:04.460
 the pages of history,

00:11:04.659 --> 00:11:05.879
 back this up,

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.299
 historical records tell us

00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:09.500
 that after Nebuchadnezzar came,

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.379
 I'm going to brutalize these names,

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:11.700
 okay,

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:13.100
 so just be forewarned.

00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.279
 After Nebuchadnezzar came

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.559
 Amal Marduk.

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:18.259
 He was assassinated.

00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:20.240
 And after Amal Marduk

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.879
 came Neraglisar,

00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.360
 who died without any real explanation.

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.299
 And then after Neraglisar

00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:27.939
 came Labashi Marduk,

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:29.320
 who was overthrown.

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:30.279
 And then the people

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.480
 who overthrew Labashi Marduk

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.139
 set up Nabonidus as king.

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:36.919
 And Nabonidus had a son,

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:37.879
 and his name was

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.360
 Belshazzar.

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:41.799
 And it was during the reign

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.139
 of Nabonidus,

00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:45.019
 with Belshazzar his son,

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:46.699
 as sort of a second in command,

00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:48.399
 the functional king,

00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.259
 that the empire of Babylon

00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:51.480
 fell to Cyrus

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.980
 and to the Persians.

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:53.319
 Now,

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:55.340
 that historical lesson

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:56.120
 might not mean anything

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.819
 to you at all,

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:58.120
 other than to place

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:58.980
 what we're reading

00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:01.580
 here in actual human history.

00:12:01.580 --> 00:12:04.259
 This is God's perspective

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:05.800
 of God's plan,

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:06.879
 of God's work

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.420
 in human history.

00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:09.480
 Now,

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:10.920
 apparently,

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.620
 it was almost unthinkable

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:13.220
 that Babylon

00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:15.200
 would actually ever fall.

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.420
 It was thought

00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:17.800
 to be indestructible.

00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:18.960
 It was well protected.

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:19.960
 It was strong,

00:12:20.060 --> 00:12:21.000
 and it was secure.

00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:22.340
 So much so

00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:24.639
 that an ancient Greek historian

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.860
 named Xenophon,

00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:26.460
 I don't know why

00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:27.480
 these guys can't have

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.180
 normal American names,

00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:29.959
 but here we are.

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.779
 Xenophon,

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:33.279
 who recorded Babylon's fall,

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:34.319
 he said that

00:12:34.319 --> 00:12:35.439
 Babylon was

00:12:35.439 --> 00:12:36.539
 well protected

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:37.319
 from a siege,

00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:39.000
 and it had plenty

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.479
 of resources of food

00:12:40.479 --> 00:12:41.059
 and drinks

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:41.919
 stored away,

00:12:42.359 --> 00:12:43.620
 so Belshazzar felt

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:45.059
 he could take pride

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:47.000
 in his security.

00:12:48.439 --> 00:12:48.879
 And again,

00:12:49.479 --> 00:12:50.459
 interestingly enough,

00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.179
 Xenophon,

00:12:51.479 --> 00:12:52.759
 in his historical writings,

00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.659
 tells us that

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:54.839
 right before

00:12:54.839 --> 00:12:55.959
 the fall of Babylon,

00:12:56.219 --> 00:12:56.719
 they threw

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.240
 a giant,

00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.000
 drunken orgy.

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.220
 Okay?

00:13:01.820 --> 00:13:02.700
 Now this is the context

00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:03.680
 that we're dealing with here.

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.340
 So it's in this context

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:08.080
 that we come to verse 1,

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:09.700
 and verse 1 tells us

00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:10.920
 that King Belshazzar

00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:12.300
 made a great feast

00:13:12.300 --> 00:13:13.660
 for a thousand

00:13:13.660 --> 00:13:14.500
 of his lords

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.560
 and drank wine

00:13:15.560 --> 00:13:16.240
 in front

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.740
 of the thousand.

00:13:18.060 --> 00:13:19.820
 What kind of king

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:21.420
 does this?

00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:24.560
 His city is under attack?

00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:26.299
 His people

00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:27.399
 are in danger,

00:13:27.599 --> 00:13:28.539
 but he completely

00:13:28.539 --> 00:13:30.219
 disregards the reality

00:13:30.219 --> 00:13:31.239
 of the situation,

00:13:31.479 --> 00:13:32.239
 and he chooses

00:13:32.239 --> 00:13:32.879
 just instead

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.699
 to throw a giant party

00:13:34.699 --> 00:13:35.359
 and just eat

00:13:35.359 --> 00:13:35.979
 and drink

00:13:35.979 --> 00:13:36.619
 and celebrate

00:13:36.619 --> 00:13:37.559
 as if nothing

00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.679
 could ever stop

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:39.239
 the party.

00:13:40.239 --> 00:13:41.159
 As I read this,

00:13:41.199 --> 00:13:42.139
 and as I studied

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:42.739
 this this week,

00:13:42.839 --> 00:13:44.099
 I thought of the story

00:13:44.099 --> 00:13:44.819
 of the Titanic.

00:13:45.599 --> 00:13:46.319
 You know the story

00:13:46.319 --> 00:13:46.939
 of the Titanic.

00:13:47.859 --> 00:13:48.379
 The Titanic

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:49.659
 was billed

00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:51.379
 as the unsinkable ship.

00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:52.619
 It's this giant,

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:55.620
 supposedly indestructible vessel,

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.019
 and so they filled it

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:58.740
 with over 2,000 passengers,

00:13:58.940 --> 00:13:59.679
 and they set off

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.480
 onto the ocean

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.620
 to eat and drink

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.240
 and party

00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:03.159
 until all of a sudden

00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:03.779
 what happens?

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:05.379
 They hit an iceberg,

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:07.560
 and the ship

00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:08.600
 begins to sink,

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.960
 and this unsinkable ship

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.080
 that took nearly

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.600
 three years to build.

00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:14.960
 It sunk all the way

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:15.799
 down into the depths

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.320
 of the ocean

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:17.240
 within less than

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:18.440
 three hours.

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.259
 And apparently,

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:21.620
 if you read

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:22.500
 the eyewitness accounts

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:23.379
 of the sinking

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:24.100
 of the Titanic,

00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:25.320
 the musicians

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:26.080
 on the ship

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.080
 continued to play

00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:27.740
 their music

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:29.620
 the entire time

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.379
 as the passengers

00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:31.679
 jumped and filled

00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:32.980
 the lifeboats.

00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:34.320
 And you can read

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:34.940
 testimonies

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:35.620
 from the survivors

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.220
 who described

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:37.340
 just how strange

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:38.159
 it was to hear

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.899
 the music

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:40.360
 continue to play

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.360
 and the party

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.639
 continue to go on

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.000
 even as the ship

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.180
 sank into the ocean.

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:47.539
 Yeah,

00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:49.159
 it seems strange

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.100
 to us,

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:50.580
 doesn't it?

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:51.759
 You know,

00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:53.700
 almost unimaginable.

00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.659
 It's hard to imagine

00:14:54.659 --> 00:14:56.179
 throwing a party

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:57.340
 and being so unaware

00:14:57.340 --> 00:14:58.179
 of the dangers

00:14:58.179 --> 00:14:58.879
 around us,

00:14:58.899 --> 00:14:59.340
 doesn't it?

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:01.779
 But the fact is

00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:03.759
 that this is exactly

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:04.980
 how people

00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:05.879
 who don't know

00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:06.580
 the Lord

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:08.560
 go about this life,

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.299
 isn't it?

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:11.779
 The godless

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.840
 worldview

00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.100
 thinks that

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:16.480
 all there is

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:16.899
 to do

00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:17.860
 is eat

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:19.320
 and drink

00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:20.740
 and be merry

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:22.120
 for tomorrow

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.779
 we die.

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.320
 You only live once.

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:27.159
 Live it up.

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.539
 Life is one big party.

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:30.620
 I'm going to live my way.

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:31.659
 I'm going to do

00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:32.300
 what I want.

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.100
 I'm going to satisfy

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:34.519
 whatever desire I have.

00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:35.340
 I'm going to go to bed.

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:36.039
 I'm going to wake up

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:36.600
 and I'm going to do it

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:37.300
 all again

00:15:37.300 --> 00:15:38.060
 tomorrow.

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.940
 The godless

00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:40.639
 worldview

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.420
 thinks wrongly

00:15:42.420 --> 00:15:43.580
 that life is just

00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:44.340
 one big party

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:45.300
 and that we are

00:15:45.300 --> 00:15:46.360
 indestructible.

00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:47.019
 But there's a word

00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:47.460
 for that.

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:48.160
 You know what it is?

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.060
 It's pride.

00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:52.560
 Pride

00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:54.399
 completely

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.480
 ignores

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:56.519
 the reality

00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.940
 of the situation.

00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:01.100
 It's a dangerous

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:02.740
 and a reckless

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:04.060
 way to live.

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:04.940
 But we need to understand

00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:06.759
 why it's so dangerous

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.120
 and that's our second

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:09.259
 point this morning.

00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:09.800
 Second,

00:16:10.400 --> 00:16:10.879
 it's because

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:11.600
 pride

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.480
 offends

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.240
 the Lord.

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:14.820
 Second,

00:16:15.060 --> 00:16:15.620
 pride

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:17.160
 offends

00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:18.259
 the Lord.

00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:19.360
 This is the danger.

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:21.340
 This is the iceberg

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:22.200
 in the water.

00:16:22.540 --> 00:16:23.280
 This is the danger

00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:24.060
 that we face

00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:25.100
 with our pride.

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:26.160
 Pride is dangerous

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:28.060
 because our pride

00:16:28.060 --> 00:16:29.879
 is sinful rebellion

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.280
 against a holy

00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:32.180
 God.

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:33.759
 Look there to verse 2

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.480
 with me.

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:36.860
 Belshazzar throws

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:37.820
 this party.

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:38.480
 He begins to

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.700
 drink himself drunk

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:40.300
 with a thousand

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:41.340
 of his closest friends

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:42.000
 but then he goes

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.940
 a step further

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:43.980
 and verse 2

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:44.420
 says that

00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:45.139
 when he tasted

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.800
 the wine

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:47.220
 he commanded

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:47.960
 that the vessels

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.720
 of gold

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:49.840
 and of silver

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.659
 that Nebuchadnezzar

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:51.180
 his father

00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:51.940
 had taken out

00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:52.659
 of the temple

00:16:52.659 --> 00:16:53.500
 in Jerusalem

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:54.300
 be brought

00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:55.500
 that the king

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:56.460
 and his lords

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:57.700
 his wives

00:16:57.700 --> 00:16:59.039
 and his concubines

00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.840
 might drink

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:00.879
 from them.

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:01.960
 So they brought

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.399
 them in

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.019
 and verse 4

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:03.700
 says that they

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:04.880
 drank the wine

00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:05.440
 out of these

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.599
 holy vessels

00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:07.140
 and they began

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:07.720
 to praise

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:08.880
 these false gods

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.839
 gods of gold

00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.160
 and of silver

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.120
 and of bronze

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:12.820
 and of iron

00:17:12.820 --> 00:17:13.500
 and of wood

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:14.920
 and of stone.

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.920
 This is

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.779
 deeply

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:20.320
 deeply

00:17:20.320 --> 00:17:22.500
 irreverent

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:23.300
 and offensive

00:17:23.300 --> 00:17:24.660
 to God.

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.759
 Now we don't have

00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:27.980
 holy objects

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:28.820
 like this anymore

00:17:28.820 --> 00:17:29.100
 right?

00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:30.019
 But it might be

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:30.620
 a little bit

00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:32.060
 if I can make a parallel

00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:32.940
 it might be a little bit

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:34.140
 like throwing a party

00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:35.420
 and somebody needs

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.140
 some coasters

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:36.820
 and you don't have

00:17:36.820 --> 00:17:37.420
 any coasters

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:38.080
 and so instead

00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:38.800
 of using

00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:39.680
 an actual coaster

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:39.960
 you say

00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:40.440
 well go grab

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.200
 that Bible

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.140
 over there

00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:43.800
 and rip off

00:17:43.800 --> 00:17:44.700
 a few of the pages

00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:46.680
 and put that down

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.460
 and set your drink

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.300
 on top of that

00:17:48.300 --> 00:17:49.560
 and we'll drink

00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:50.680
 on top of

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.259
 the word of God.

00:17:53.320 --> 00:17:53.820
 This is

00:17:53.820 --> 00:17:55.360
 disrespect

00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:56.980
 and disregard

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.900
 for God

00:17:57.900 --> 00:17:59.860
 and his ways.

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:01.759
 These holy vessels

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:02.680
 were meant

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:03.380
 to be set apart

00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:03.920
 for use

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.500
 in the temple

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:05.220
 in Jerusalem.

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:06.279
 Only the priests

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:07.000
 could use

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.900
 these holy vessels

00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:09.759
 and only in the temple

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.559
 and only after

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.839
 consecrating themselves

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.059
 not because there's

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:13.900
 anything special

00:18:13.900 --> 00:18:14.579
 really about

00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:16.019
 the objects themselves

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:16.839
 but because

00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:17.900
 these objects

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:19.220
 were set apart

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:21.299
 for holy use.

00:18:22.059 --> 00:18:22.640
 These objects

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.660
 were intended

00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:25.240
 for holy use

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.779
 in the worship

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:27.680
 of the one true God

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.259
 but here

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:28.700
 they're used

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:29.680
 like solo cups

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.079
 at a party.

00:18:32.380 --> 00:18:33.000
 Not only this

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.480
 they're used

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.019
 in direct connection

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.980
 with idol worship.

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:37.680
 It says they drank

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.660
 from these holy vessels

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:39.799
 and they praised

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.859
 the gods of gold

00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:41.460
 and silver

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.019
 and bronze

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.480
 and iron

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:42.900
 and wood

00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:43.420
 and stone.

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.420
 This is a direct

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:46.599
 assault against

00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:47.400
 the Lord.

00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.119
 What we need

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.619
 to understand

00:18:49.619 --> 00:18:50.019
 is that

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:51.019
 that's what

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:52.440
 pride is.

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.680
 That's what pride

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:55.579
 does.

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.079
 This is how pride

00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.500
 works

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.700
 and it's deeply

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:00.240
 offensive to the Lord.

00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:02.039
 Now of course

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:02.539
 you may say

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:04.500
 I would never

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.759
 disregard

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.740
 a holy object

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:07.440
 like this.

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:08.960
 We don't really

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:09.559
 have these

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.779
 holy objects

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.460
 and I would

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:12.240
 never

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.819
 ever be so prideful

00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:14.579
 as to profane

00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:16.200
 a holy thing

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:17.279
 like this.

00:19:17.399 --> 00:19:17.539
 Well

00:19:17.539 --> 00:19:19.039
 listen to what

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:19.519
 Paul says

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:20.299
 in 1 Corinthians

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.000
 chapter 3

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.019
 verse 17.

00:19:24.379 --> 00:19:25.279
 He says

00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:25.740
 if anyone

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.460
 destroys

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:27.539
 God's temple

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:28.539
 God will

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:29.859
 destroy him

00:19:29.859 --> 00:19:31.500
 for God's

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:31.839
 temple

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.259
 is holy.

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:34.299
 You understand

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:34.619
 that?

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:35.839
 Let me read

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.220
 that again.

00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:36.839
 If anyone

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:37.539
 destroys

00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:38.639
 God's temple

00:19:38.639 --> 00:19:39.299
 God will

00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:40.099
 destroy him

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:41.160
 for God's

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.519
 temple

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.879
 is holy.

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.319
 Now listen

00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:43.799
 to this.

00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:44.559
 He says

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:45.619

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:49.579
 Do you hear

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:49.839
 that?

00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:51.420
 You

 are

 temple.

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:54.380
 You

 By faith

 You

00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:03.279
 are a

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.519
 holy

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.000
 vessel.

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:05.039
 You

 are set

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:05.960
 apart

 for

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:06.700
 holy

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.320
 use.

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:07.880
 You

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:08.140
 are

00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:08.480
 intended

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:08.759
 to be

00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.039
 used

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.180
 for

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:09.420
 the

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:09.900
 honor

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:10.180
 and

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:10.320
 the

00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:10.720
 glory

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:11.000

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.160

00:20:11.840 --> 00:20:11.980
 You

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.140
 are

00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:12.580
 much

00:20:12.580 --> 00:20:12.980
 more

00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:13.500
 sacred

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:13.779
 and

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.440
 profound

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.039
 than

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:15.320
 any

00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:15.680
 holy

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:16.100
 object

00:20:16.100 --> 00:20:16.340
 in

00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:16.440
 the

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:16.620
 Old

00:20:16.620 --> 00:20:17.039
 Testament.

00:20:17.500 --> 00:20:17.880
 God's

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:18.100
 own

00:20:18.100 --> 00:20:18.580

00:20:18.580 --> 00:20:19.140
 by faith

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:19.299
 in

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:19.640
 Christ

00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:20.400
 dwells

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:20.820
 in

00:20:20.820 --> 00:20:21.740
 you.

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:23.120
 So

00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:23.299
 no

00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:23.440
 we

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:23.599
 may

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:23.799
 not

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.039
 ever

00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:24.599
 drink

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.000
 wine

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:25.200
 from

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.359
 a

00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:25.700
 cup

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:26.319
 intended

00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:26.519
 for

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:26.759
 holy

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:27.119
 use

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:27.339
 but

00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:28.200
 Paul

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:28.619
 says

00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:29.480
 you

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.159
 are

00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:30.619
 the

00:20:30.619 --> 00:20:31.079
 temple.

00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:32.639
 Don't

00:20:32.639 --> 00:20:33.240
 profane

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:33.480
 his

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.819
 temple

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:34.319
 by being

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:34.960
 sexually

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.599
 immoral

00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:36.220
 with your

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:36.519
 body.

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.319
 Don't

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:38.619
 devote

00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:38.819
 your

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:39.259
 hands

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:39.619
 and your

00:20:39.619 --> 00:20:40.000
 feet

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:40.319
 and your

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:40.720
 energy

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.019
 to

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:41.819
 worthless

00:20:41.819 --> 00:20:42.819
 things.

00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:44.139
 Don't

00:20:44.139 --> 00:20:44.440
 commit

00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.399
 idolatry

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:45.899
 by fixing

00:20:45.899 --> 00:20:46.399
 your heart

00:20:46.399 --> 00:20:46.639
 and your

00:20:46.639 --> 00:20:47.000
 mind

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.619
 on created

00:20:47.619 --> 00:20:48.000
 things

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.480
 rather than

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:48.619
 the

00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:49.059
 creator.

00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:50.559
 All

00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:50.740
 of

00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:50.980
 these

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:51.139
 are

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:52.119
 direct

00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:53.059
 assaults

00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:53.279
 against

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:53.519
 our

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:53.899
 holy

00:20:53.899 --> 00:20:54.439
 God.

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:54.919
 And

00:20:54.919 --> 00:20:55.279
 all

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:55.419
 of

00:20:55.419 --> 00:20:55.619
 these

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:55.899
 things

00:20:55.899 --> 00:20:56.079
 they

00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:56.439
 flow

00:20:56.439 --> 00:20:57.099
 downstream

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:57.959
 from

00:20:57.959 --> 00:20:59.099
 pride.

00:21:00.159 --> 00:21:00.399
 This

00:21:00.399 --> 00:21:00.519
 is

00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:01.019
 offensive

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.919
 to

00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:02.099
 our

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:02.579
 Lord.

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:05.000
 Belshazzar's

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.339
 behavior

00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:05.699
 is

00:21:05.699 --> 00:21:06.979
 offensive

00:21:06.979 --> 00:21:07.299
 to

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.619
 God

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:07.779
 and

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:07.879
 so

00:21:07.879 --> 00:21:08.139
 now

00:21:08.139 --> 00:21:08.299
 what

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:08.419
 we

00:21:08.419 --> 00:21:08.619
 see

00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:08.759
 is

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:08.939
 that

00:21:08.939 --> 00:21:09.659
 God

00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:10.059
 does

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:10.519
 something

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:11.039
 about

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.159
 it.

00:21:11.219 --> 00:21:11.319
 Look

00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:11.439
 there

00:21:11.439 --> 00:21:11.539
 to

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:11.719
 verse

00:21:11.719 --> 00:21:12.119
 5.

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:12.279
 It

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.519
 says

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:13.480
 immediately

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.480
 the

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:15.039
 fingers

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.259
 of

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.359
 a

00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:15.579
 human

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:15.900
 hand

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:16.379
 appeared

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:16.660
 and

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:16.940
 wrote

00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:17.259
 on

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:17.420
 the

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:17.819
 plaster

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.019
 of

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.139
 the

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:18.460
 wall

00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:18.960
 of

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:19.099
 the

00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:19.480
 king's

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:19.900
 palace

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:20.400
 opposite

00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.160
 the

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:21.839
 lampstand.

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:22.900
 Apparently

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:23.440
 the walls

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:23.680
 of

00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.359
 Babylon

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:24.900
 were made

00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:25.200
 out of

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.519
 white

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.259
 gypsum

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.920
 which

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.019
 would

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:27.079
 have

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:27.259
 made

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.460
 a

00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:27.980
 perfect

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:28.420
 blank

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:29.039
 canvas

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:29.480
 for

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:29.680
 this

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:29.980
 hand

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:30.220
 to

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.539
 write

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:30.779
 a

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:31.180
 message

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:31.420
 for

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:32.400
 Belshazzar.

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:33.240
 And

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:33.339
 so

00:21:33.339 --> 00:21:33.480
 the

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:33.700
 king

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:34.160
 sees

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:34.339
 this

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:34.759
 mysterious

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.160
 hand

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:35.420
 as it

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:35.680
 wrote

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:35.819
 in

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:36.019
 verse

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.379
 6

00:21:36.379 --> 00:21:36.539
 it

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:36.799
 says

00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.039
 that

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:45.420
 I

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:45.700
 just

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:45.859
 have

00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:46.059
 in

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:46.200
 my

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.399
 mind

00:21:46.399 --> 00:21:46.559
 this

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:46.779
 image

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:46.899
 of

 who's

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:48.460
 just

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:48.920
 terrified

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:49.240
 his

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:49.700
 legs

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:49.839
 are

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.379
 shaking

00:21:50.379 --> 00:21:50.680
 his

00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:50.940
 limbs

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.159
 are

00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:52.379
 loose

00:21:52.379 --> 00:21:52.920
 and

00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:53.299
 literally

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:53.519
 the

00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:53.819
 phrase

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:54.059
 there

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:54.220
 his

00:21:54.220 --> 00:21:54.579
 limbs

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:55.000
 gave

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.379
 way

00:21:55.379 --> 00:21:56.960
 literally

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.539
 that's

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.339
 translated

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:58.579
 the

00:21:58.579 --> 00:21:59.059
 knots

00:21:59.059 --> 00:21:59.399
 of

00:21:59.399 --> 00:21:59.579
 his

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:00.220
 loins

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.500
 were

00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:01.180
 loosed

00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:03.079
 y'all

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:03.259
 think

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.420
 about

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:03.599
 that

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:03.740
 for

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:03.839
 a

00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.039
 minute

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:05.799
 the

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:06.200
 knots

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:06.380
 of

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:06.559
 his

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.240
 loins

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.259
 were

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:08.720
 loosed

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:08.980
 it

00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:09.519
 means

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:09.900
 that

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:10.120
 the

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.360
 king

00:22:10.360 --> 00:22:10.559
 is

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:10.840
 so

00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.480
 afraid

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.059
 probably

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:12.500
 so

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:13.299
 full

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.620
 of

00:22:13.620 --> 00:22:14.140
 alcohol

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:14.559
 he

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:15.220
 sees

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:15.620
 this

00:22:15.620 --> 00:22:16.559
 divine

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.400
 hand

00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:17.840
 riding

00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:18.180
 on

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:18.380
 the

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:18.700
 wall

00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:18.940
 and

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:19.259
 he

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:20.080
 soils

00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:20.980
 himself

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:23.080
 he's

00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:23.840
 humiliated

00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:24.059
 this

00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:24.420
 is a

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:25.620
 humiliating

00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:26.059
 moment

00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:26.340
 for

00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:26.500
 the

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:26.700
 king

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:26.799
 and

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:26.900
 at

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:27.100
 this

00:22:27.100 --> 00:22:27.480
 point

00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.220
 the

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:28.580
 party

00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:28.759

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:29.620

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:32.440
 scene

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:32.620

00:22:46.399 --> 00:22:46.539
 that

00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:46.759

00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:46.899
 be

00:22:46.899 --> 00:22:47.219
 happening

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.159
 they're

00:23:35.159 --> 00:23:35.539
 busted

00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:40.039
 the thing

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.319
 is

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:40.720
 he should

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:40.819
 have

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.079
 known

00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:41.480
 better

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.980
 right

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:44.500
 he should

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:44.659
 have

00:23:44.659 --> 00:23:44.980
 known

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.619
 better

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:45.919
 but that's

00:23:45.919 --> 00:23:46.379
 the third

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:47.140
 characteristic

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:48.060
 of pride

00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:48.360
 here

00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:48.920
 third

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.160
 pride

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:51.300
 never

00:23:51.300 --> 00:23:52.540
 learns

00:23:52.540 --> 00:23:54.540
 pride

00:23:54.540 --> 00:23:55.600
 never

00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:56.840
 learns

00:23:56.840 --> 00:23:58.400
 I

00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:58.680
 wonder if

00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.040
 you notice

00:23:59.040 --> 00:23:59.640
 how similar

00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:00.360
 the stories

00:24:00.360 --> 00:24:00.840
 of

00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:01.720
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:02.540
 and Belshazzar

00:24:02.540 --> 00:24:03.380
 have been

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:04.160
 you notice

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:05.040
 those similarities

00:24:05.040 --> 00:24:05.820
 Belshazzar

00:24:05.820 --> 00:24:06.240
 has done

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.060
 exactly

00:24:07.060 --> 00:24:07.780
 what

00:24:07.780 --> 00:24:08.540
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:08.540 --> 00:24:08.920
 did

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.560
 just like

00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:11.360
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:11.360 --> 00:24:11.940
 they both

00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:12.460
 saw a

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:12.960
 divine

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.700
 message

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:15.220
 just like

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:15.980
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.799
 they both

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:17.440
 called in

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:17.900
 all the

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:18.400
 wise men

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:18.860
 of Babylon

00:24:18.860 --> 00:24:19.319
 to come

00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:20.059
 and interpret

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:20.799
 the message

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:21.539
 just like

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.200
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:22.680
 he offered

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.079
 them up

00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:23.980
 all these

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.519
 rewards

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.160
 and honors

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:25.680
 for anybody

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.299
 who could

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:26.960
 interpret

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.599
 the message

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.240
 and the

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.819
 interpretation

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:30.339
 and just

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:30.839
 like what

00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:31.140
 happened

00:24:31.140 --> 00:24:31.980
 with Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:32.759
 the wise men

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.059
 were they

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:33.599
 successful

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.640
 no

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:34.940
 they

00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:35.860
 failed

00:24:35.860 --> 00:24:36.500
 in interpreting

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:36.940
 the message

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.360
 they don't

00:24:37.360 --> 00:24:37.900
 know what

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.480
 to do

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.259
 but it

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:40.740
 says that

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.380
 the queen

00:24:41.380 --> 00:24:42.380
 remembered

00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:43.220
 something

00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:44.759
 verse 11

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.740
 she said

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.100
 there's a

00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:47.579
 man in

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:48.100
 your kingdom

00:24:48.100 --> 00:24:48.720
 in whom

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.240
 is the

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.640
 spirit

00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:49.960
 of the

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:50.180
 holy

00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:50.740
 gods

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.720
 and

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:51.920
 king

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.519
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:53.059
 promoted

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.900
 him over

00:24:53.900 --> 00:24:54.660
 all these

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:55.279
 wise men

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.579
 that you're

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:56.319
 listening to

00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:57.420
 because he

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:57.960
 was able

00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:58.440
 to understand

00:24:58.440 --> 00:24:58.980
 dreams

00:24:58.980 --> 00:24:59.539
 and interpret

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:00.039
 riddles

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:00.480
 and solve

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.039
 all sorts

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:01.660
 of problems

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:02.880
 why don't

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.339
 you go

00:25:03.339 --> 00:25:03.700
 get

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.160
 Daniel

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.019
 so he

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.380
 did

00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:07.240
 verse 13

00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:07.640
 it says

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:08.299
 Daniel was

00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:09.240
 brought in

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.759
 before the

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:10.039
 king

00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:10.279
 and the

00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:10.480
 king

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:10.819
 says

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:11.500
 none of

00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:11.939
 my men

00:25:11.939 --> 00:25:12.179
 have been

00:25:12.179 --> 00:25:12.339
 able

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:12.639
 to help

00:25:12.639 --> 00:25:12.799
 me

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.159
 but I

00:25:13.159 --> 00:25:13.559
 I've

00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:13.819
 heard

00:25:13.819 --> 00:25:14.019
 that

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:14.200
 you're

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:14.539
 able

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:15.599
 and if

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:16.019
 you can

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:16.659
 verse 16

00:25:16.659 --> 00:25:16.980
 says

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:17.519
 I will

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.759
 honor you

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.220
 clothe you

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.679
 with purple

00:25:19.679 --> 00:25:20.099
 and you'll

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:20.500
 get a gold

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:21.179
 chain around

00:25:21.179 --> 00:25:21.679
 your neck

00:25:21.679 --> 00:25:21.939
 and I'll

00:25:21.939 --> 00:25:22.259
 make you

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.679
 the third

00:25:22.679 --> 00:25:23.039
 ruler

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.399
 in the

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:23.700
 kingdom

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:24.779
 but look

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.159
 how Daniel

00:25:25.159 --> 00:25:25.700
 responds

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.819
 verse 17

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:29.539
 he says

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:29.899
 let your

00:25:29.899 --> 00:25:30.460
 gifts be

00:25:30.460 --> 00:25:31.179
 for yourself

00:25:31.179 --> 00:25:32.740
 and give

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.579
 your rewards

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:34.299
 to another

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:35.859
 nevertheless

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:36.759
 I will

00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.240
 read the

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.559
 writing

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:37.899
 to the

00:25:37.899 --> 00:25:38.099
 king

00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:38.419
 and make

00:25:38.419 --> 00:25:38.899
 known to

00:25:38.899 --> 00:25:39.240
 him

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:39.919
 the

00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:40.439
 interpretation

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.539
 O king

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:42.980
 the most

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:43.240
 high

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:43.660
 God

00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:44.140
 gave

00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:45.039
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:45.660
 your father

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.480
 kingship

00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.620
 and greatness

00:25:47.620 --> 00:25:48.960
 and glory

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:50.160
 and majesty

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:51.600
 and because of

00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:51.940
 the greatness

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:52.600
 that he gave

00:25:52.600 --> 00:25:53.080
 him all

00:25:53.080 --> 00:25:53.559
 peoples

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:54.299
 nations

00:25:54.299 --> 00:25:55.080
 and languages

00:25:55.080 --> 00:25:55.799
 trembled

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.420
 and feared

00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:57.240
 before him

00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:58.019
 whom he

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:58.360
 would

00:25:58.360 --> 00:25:59.080
 he killed

00:25:59.080 --> 00:25:59.779
 and whom

00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:00.279
 he would

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.759
 he kept

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:01.420
 alive

00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:02.160
 whom he

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.420
 would

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:03.100
 he raised

00:26:03.100 --> 00:26:03.460
 up

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:03.820
 and whom

00:26:03.820 --> 00:26:04.360
 he would

00:26:04.360 --> 00:26:05.200
 he humbled

00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:06.420
 but when

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:07.039
 his heart

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:07.580
 was lifted

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:08.000
 up

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.059
 and his

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:09.440
 spirit

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.160
 was hardened

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:10.660
 so that he

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:10.920
 dealt

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.600
 proudly

00:26:11.600 --> 00:26:12.620
 he was

00:26:12.620 --> 00:26:13.040
 brought

00:26:13.040 --> 00:26:13.580
 down

00:26:13.580 --> 00:26:14.000
 from his

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.400
 kingly

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:14.740
 throne

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:15.120
 and his

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:15.640
 glory

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:16.540
 was taken

00:26:16.540 --> 00:26:17.620
 from him

00:26:17.620 --> 00:26:18.620
 this is

00:26:18.620 --> 00:26:19.759
 last week

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:21.259
 he was driven

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:21.840
 from among the

00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:22.279
 children of

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:22.580
 mankind

00:26:22.580 --> 00:26:23.040
 and his

00:26:23.040 --> 00:26:23.400
 mind was

00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:23.860
 made like

00:26:23.860 --> 00:26:24.160
 that of

00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:24.560
 a beast

00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:24.840
 and his

00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:25.180
 dwelling

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:25.519
 was with

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:25.940
 the wild

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.460
 donkeys

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:26.740
 he was

00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:27.340
 fed

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:27.759
 grass

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:28.100
 like an

00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:28.360
 ox

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:28.640
 and his

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:28.900
 body

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:29.400
 was wet

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:29.740
 with the

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:29.900
 dew

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.320
 of heaven

00:26:30.320 --> 00:26:31.480
 until he

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:31.840
 knew

00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:32.220
 this is

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:32.700
 the point

00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:33.480
 that the

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.040
 most high

00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:34.400
 God

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:35.220
 rules the

00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:35.519
 kingdom

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.200
 of mankind

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:37.460
 and sets

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.080
 over it

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.820
 whom he

00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:39.380
 will

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:39.720
 that was

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:40.140
 the lesson

00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:40.820
 God taught

00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:41.760
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:26:41.760 --> 00:26:42.220
 from last

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:42.540
 week

00:26:42.540 --> 00:26:43.400
 God is

00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:43.820
 ultimately

00:26:43.820 --> 00:26:44.360
 king

00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:44.780
 not

00:26:44.780 --> 00:26:45.640
 you

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:46.900
 why is he

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.320
 telling all

00:26:47.320 --> 00:26:47.580
 this to

00:26:47.580 --> 00:26:48.160
 Belshazzar

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.840
 it's because

00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:50.720
 Belshazzar

00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.840
 hasn't learned

00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:52.420
 the lesson

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:54.420
 he knew all

00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:54.960
 of this

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.160
 but history is

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:56.940
 repeating itself

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.460
 here and he

00:26:57.460 --> 00:26:58.360
 should have

00:26:58.360 --> 00:26:59.160
 known better

00:26:59.160 --> 00:26:59.900
 verse 22

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:00.980
 it says

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:02.040
 you his son

00:27:02.040 --> 00:27:02.780
 Belshazzar

00:27:02.780 --> 00:27:03.780
 have not humbled

00:27:03.780 --> 00:27:04.300
 your heart

00:27:04.300 --> 00:27:04.780
 though you

00:27:04.780 --> 00:27:05.600
 knew all of

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:06.040
 this

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.139
 but you

00:27:07.139 --> 00:27:07.599
 have lifted

00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:08.359
 up yourself

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:09.039
 against the

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:09.399
 Lord of

00:27:09.399 --> 00:27:09.659
 heaven

00:27:09.659 --> 00:27:10.500
 and the

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:10.960
 vessels of

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.359
 his house

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:11.599
 have been

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:12.039
 brought in

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:12.680
 before you

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.519
 and you

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:13.960
 and your

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:14.379
 lords

00:27:14.379 --> 00:27:15.000
 your wives

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.779
 your concubines

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:16.099
 have all

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:16.759
 drunk wine

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.259
 from them

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:18.119
 you've praised

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:18.639
 the gods

00:27:18.639 --> 00:27:19.240
 of silver

00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:19.879
 and gold

00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:20.480
 of bronze

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:21.000
 and iron

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:21.440
 and wood

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:21.899
 and stone

00:27:21.899 --> 00:27:22.759
 which don't

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.700
 see or hear

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:24.359
 or know

00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:25.379
 but the true

00:27:25.379 --> 00:27:25.899
 God

00:27:25.899 --> 00:27:27.139
 the true

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:27.440
 God

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:27.839
 in whose

00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:28.259
 hand is

00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:28.960
 your breath

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.940
 the true

00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:30.220
 God

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:30.500
 in whose

00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:30.920
 hand is

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.619
 all your

00:27:31.619 --> 00:27:32.000
 ways

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.379
 the true

00:27:32.379 --> 00:27:32.639
 God

00:27:32.639 --> 00:27:33.500
 who raised

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:33.899
 you up

00:27:33.899 --> 00:27:34.259
 to this

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.680
 position

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:34.980
 and the

00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:35.420
 true God

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:35.880
 who can

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.460
 bring you

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:36.900
 down

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:38.060
 you have

00:27:38.060 --> 00:27:38.539
 not

00:27:38.539 --> 00:27:39.279
 honored

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.920
 him

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:40.299
 in other

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:40.700
 words

00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:42.160
 you haven't

00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:42.600
 learned a

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:43.000
 thing

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.900
 you've heard

00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:46.299
 the quote

00:27:46.299 --> 00:27:47.920
 those who

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.799
 fail to learn

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:49.460
 from history

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:49.920
 are doomed

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.420
 to repeat

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:51.140
 it

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:51.500
 right

00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:53.400
 Belshazzar

00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:53.960
 hasn't

00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:54.740
 learned

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.660
 a thing

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:57.019
 from history

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:58.580
 there's a

00:27:58.580 --> 00:27:59.440
 similar quote

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.420
 the German

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:01.060
 philosopher

00:28:01.060 --> 00:28:01.539
 George

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:02.000
 Hegel

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.200
 he says

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:03.519
 the only

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:03.920
 thing that

00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:04.259
 we learn

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:04.819
 from history

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:05.259
 is that

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:05.920
 we learn

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.359
 nothing

00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:07.279
 from history

00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:09.799
 and Belshazzar

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.279
 sadly

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.099
 proves that

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:11.859
 to be true

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:12.599
 as well

00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:13.960
 church

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.359
 what I want

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:14.640
 us to

00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.259
 understand

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:16.799
 is that

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.119
 the only

00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:17.740
 reason why

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:18.220
 we don't

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:18.819
 learn

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.379
 anything

00:28:19.379 --> 00:28:20.299
 from history

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:21.859
 is because

00:28:21.859 --> 00:28:22.960
 of our

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:23.879
 pride

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:26.240
 pride

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.839
 doesn't

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:27.700
 learn

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.920
 why

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:30.339
 because pride

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:30.859
 knows

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:32.859
 a pride

00:28:32.859 --> 00:28:33.079
 a prideful

00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:33.399
 heart

00:28:33.399 --> 00:28:33.899
 cannot

00:28:33.899 --> 00:28:34.519
 be

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.119
 taught

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:36.539
 one of

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:36.719
 the

00:28:36.719 --> 00:28:37.399
 hallmarks

00:28:37.399 --> 00:28:37.619
 one of

00:28:37.619 --> 00:28:37.699
 the

00:28:37.699 --> 00:28:38.159
 trademarks

00:28:38.159 --> 00:28:39.319
 of pride

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:40.099
 is an

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:40.979
 unteachable

00:28:40.979 --> 00:28:41.599
 spirit

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:43.539
 it's an

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.159
 unwillingness

00:28:44.159 --> 00:28:44.979
 to learn

00:28:44.979 --> 00:28:45.819
 from others

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:47.559
 it's a spirit

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:48.379
 that puts

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:49.379
 yourself above

00:28:49.379 --> 00:28:50.479
 everybody else

00:28:50.479 --> 00:28:50.740
 and says

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.359
 I know

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:52.139
 better than

00:28:52.139 --> 00:28:52.339
 you

00:28:52.339 --> 00:28:53.479
 I can't

00:28:53.479 --> 00:28:54.099
 learn from

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:54.279
 you

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.779
 I know

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:55.679
 more than

00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:55.899
 you

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:56.920
 and it's a

00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.460
 spirit that

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:57.880
 doesn't want

00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:58.180
 to learn

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.540
 from the

00:28:58.540 --> 00:28:59.160
 mistakes

00:28:59.160 --> 00:28:59.600
 or the

00:28:59.600 --> 00:29:00.080
 victories

00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:00.460
 or the

00:29:00.460 --> 00:29:01.160
 experiences

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.720
 of others

00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:02.040
 it says

00:29:02.040 --> 00:29:02.560
 that would

00:29:02.560 --> 00:29:03.080
 never happen

00:29:03.080 --> 00:29:03.400
 to me

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:03.900
 I wouldn't

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:04.220
 make that

00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:04.720
 same mistake

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:06.400
 I would

00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:07.440
 never do

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:07.820
 what they

00:29:07.820 --> 00:29:08.060
 did

00:29:08.060 --> 00:29:08.380
 I'd never

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:08.880
 say what

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.420
 they did

00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:10.560
 that never

00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:39.200
 that ran

00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:39.539
 through

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:40.059
 Adam

 every single

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.720
 one of us

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.160
 we have to

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:53.019
 understand this

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:54.819
 we have to

00:29:54.819 --> 00:29:55.440
 humble ourselves

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.180
 to learn

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:56.599
 from the

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:57.200
 experiences

00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:57.720
 of others

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.480
 especially

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:59.700
 those that

00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:00.519
 are recorded

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.279
 from us

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:01.660
 by the

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:02.220
 word of

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:02.539
 God

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:03.200
 himself

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:04.660
 this is

00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:05.000
 why Paul

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.440
 tells us

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.240
 in 1 Corinthians

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.079
 chapter 10

00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:08.799
 he says

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.579
 these things

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.619
 these things

00:30:14.619 --> 00:30:15.400
 took place

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:16.259
 as examples

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:17.500
 for us

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:18.740
 that we

00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:19.160
 might not

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:19.960
 desire evil

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.319
 as they

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:20.619
 did

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:21.959
 do not

00:30:21.959 --> 00:30:22.819
 be idolaters

00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:23.279

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.619
 of them

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:23.879

00:30:27.699 --> 00:30:28.019

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:00.000
 there's

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.539
 there's

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:01.120
 meaning

00:32:01.120 --> 00:32:01.640
 on top

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:02.080
 of meaning

00:32:02.080 --> 00:32:02.559
 on top

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.019
 of meaning

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:03.440
 on top

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:03.799
 of meaning

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.220
 there is

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:05.220
 a quadruple

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:05.920
 entendre

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.319
 really

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:06.960
 of what

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.779
 is being

00:32:07.779 --> 00:32:08.039
 written

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:08.500
 here

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.180
 I don't

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:09.480
 possibly

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:09.759
 have the

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:09.980
 time

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:10.200
 to

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:10.720
 unpack

00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:11.279
 all of

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:11.420
 it

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:12.100
 for you

00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:12.299
 this

00:32:12.299 --> 00:32:12.600
 morning

00:32:12.600 --> 00:32:13.059
 but Daniel

00:32:13.059 --> 00:32:13.360
 gets

00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:14.080
 right to

00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:14.440
 the heart

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:14.680
 of it

00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:15.100
 he says

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:15.500
 many

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:16.419
 God

00:32:16.419 --> 00:32:16.599
 has

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:17.000
 numbered

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.439
 the days

00:32:17.439 --> 00:32:17.659
 of your

00:32:17.659 --> 00:32:17.980
 kingdom

00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:19.099
 and he's

00:32:19.099 --> 00:32:19.519
 brought it

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:20.019
 to an end

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:20.579
 the party

00:32:20.579 --> 00:32:21.919
 is over

00:32:21.919 --> 00:32:23.240
 and it may

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.619
 look

00:32:23.619 --> 00:32:24.500
 from a human

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:24.980
 perspective

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:25.500
 like a

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:26.299
 like a human

00:32:26.299 --> 00:32:26.839
 takeover

00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:27.339
 here by

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:27.759
 Cyrus

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.519
 but this

00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:28.899
 message

00:32:28.899 --> 00:32:29.579
 is intended

00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:30.240
 to show

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:30.579
 you

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:30.839
 God

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:31.319
 is showing

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:31.559
 you

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:31.799
 that

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.419
 he

00:32:32.419 --> 00:32:32.779
 is

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:33.119
 bringing

00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:33.759
 judgment

00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:34.459
 upon

00:32:34.459 --> 00:32:35.059
 you

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:35.519
 why

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.059
 because

00:32:37.059 --> 00:32:37.639
 tekel

00:32:37.639 --> 00:32:38.980
 you have

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:39.139
 been

00:32:39.139 --> 00:32:39.559
 weighed

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:39.899
 in the

00:32:39.899 --> 00:32:40.319
 balances

00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:41.899
 and found

00:32:41.899 --> 00:32:43.019
 wanting

00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:45.039
 that's

00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:45.519
 a terrifying

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.039
 thought

00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:46.539
 isn't it

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:48.119
 you know

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:49.200
 a lot

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:49.500
 of

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:50.660
 religious

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.299
 systems

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:51.639
 are

00:32:51.639 --> 00:32:52.599
 built

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:53.220
 on this

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.700
 idea

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:54.099
 of

00:32:54.099 --> 00:32:54.339
 some

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:54.579
 sort

00:32:54.579 --> 00:32:54.720
 of

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.220
 cosmic

00:32:55.220 --> 00:32:55.920
 scale

00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:56.259
 of

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:57.000
 good

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:57.539
 and bad

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.400
 that if

00:32:58.400 --> 00:32:58.639
 you just

00:32:58.639 --> 00:32:59.180
 do enough

00:32:59.180 --> 00:32:59.720
 good

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:00.359
 to outweigh

00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:00.920
 the bad

00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:01.379
 then you're

00:33:01.379 --> 00:33:02.079
 okay with

00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:02.440
 God

00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:02.779
 but if

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:03.579
 you don't

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:04.019
 if you do

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.740
 more bad

00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:05.319
 than good

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.660
 and the

00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:06.579
 scale tips

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:07.299
 against you

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:07.779
 then you're

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:08.799
 in danger

00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:09.359
 with God

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:09.720
 you're not

00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:10.000
 in good

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.379
 standing

00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:10.880
 with God

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:11.160
 and let me

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:11.500
 just tell

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:11.800
 you that

00:33:11.800 --> 00:33:12.680
 is not

00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:13.120
 Christianity

00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:13.760
 at all

00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:15.420
 that's not

00:33:15.420 --> 00:33:16.300
 how this

00:33:16.300 --> 00:33:16.820
 works with

00:33:16.820 --> 00:33:17.160
 God

00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:17.960
 at all

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:19.220
 the Bible

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:19.780
 tells us

00:33:19.780 --> 00:33:20.440
 that if

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:21.000
 you even

00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:21.560
 have the

00:33:21.560 --> 00:33:22.260
 slightest

00:33:22.260 --> 00:33:23.740
 little grain

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:24.980
 of sand

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:25.700
 of sin

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.260
 against you

00:33:26.260 --> 00:33:27.040
 dripped onto

00:33:27.040 --> 00:33:27.980
 that cosmic

00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:28.720
 scale of

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.500
 justice

00:33:29.500 --> 00:33:31.020
 it is

00:33:31.020 --> 00:33:31.760
 totally

00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:32.120
 weighed

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:32.700
 against you

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:33.980
 if you

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:34.960
 have one

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.980
 tiny

00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:36.960
 sliver

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.760
 of pride

00:33:37.760 --> 00:33:38.240
 in your

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:38.660
 heart

00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:40.000
 you are

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.320
 not

00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:40.640
 okay

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:40.880
 with

00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:41.220
 God

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:42.759
 you are

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.080
 found

00:33:43.080 --> 00:33:43.680
 wanting

00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:44.620
 before

00:33:44.620 --> 00:33:44.840
 a

00:33:44.840 --> 00:33:45.080
 holy

00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:45.580
 God

00:33:45.580 --> 00:33:46.800
 and the

00:33:46.800 --> 00:33:47.019
 same

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:47.400
 judgment

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:47.800
 could be

00:33:47.800 --> 00:33:48.200
 read

00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:48.500
 against

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:48.779
 us

00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:49.080
 that all

00:33:49.080 --> 00:33:49.300
 of us

00:33:49.300 --> 00:33:49.440
 have

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:49.840
 sinned

00:33:49.840 --> 00:33:50.240
 and fallen

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:50.640
 short

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:50.920
 of the

00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:51.220
 glory

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:51.660
 of God

00:33:51.660 --> 00:33:52.040
 all of

00:33:52.040 --> 00:33:52.180
 us

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:52.320
 have

00:33:52.320 --> 00:33:52.880
 earned

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.620
 judgment

00:33:53.620 --> 00:33:54.259
 for our

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:54.580
 sin

00:33:54.580 --> 00:33:54.820
 that's

00:33:54.820 --> 00:33:54.920
 what

00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:55.279
 pride

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:55.460
 is

00:33:55.460 --> 00:33:56.180
 leading

00:33:56.180 --> 00:33:56.500
 us

00:33:56.500 --> 00:33:56.820
 toward

00:33:56.820 --> 00:33:57.100
 our

00:33:57.100 --> 00:33:57.720
 pride

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:57.940
 which

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.620
 all

00:33:58.620 --> 00:33:58.960
 of

00:33:59.300 --> 00:33:59.740
 every

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:00.100
 one

00:34:00.100 --> 00:34:00.220
 of

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.360
 us

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:00.519
 is

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.800
 guilty

00:34:00.800 --> 00:34:01.200
 of

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:01.720
 it

00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:02.240
 only

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:03.240
 leads

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:03.720
 to

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:04.200
 judgment

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:05.860
 and

00:34:05.860 --> 00:34:06.180
 here

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:06.800
 God

00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:07.120
 writes

00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:07.360
 on the

00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:07.540
 wall

00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:07.860
 to tell

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:08.440
 Belshazzar

00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:08.960
 his time

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:09.159
 has

00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.599
 come

00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:10.579
 now

00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:11.679
 verse

00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:12.179
 28

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:13.559
 your

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:13.940
 kingdom

00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:14.139
 is

00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:14.559
 divided

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.839
 and

00:34:14.839 --> 00:34:14.960
 is

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:15.380
 given

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:15.779
 to

00:34:15.779 --> 00:34:15.980
 the

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.539
 Medes

00:34:16.539 --> 00:34:17.500
 and

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:17.639
 the

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:18.319
 Persians

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:22.119
 him

00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:22.239
 and

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:22.360
 he

00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:22.940
 restored

00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:23.099
 him

00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:23.219
 to

00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:24.000

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.119
 he

00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:24.440
 gave

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:24.559
 him

00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:24.719
 a

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.179
 and

00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:26.320
 he

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:27.059
 used

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:27.199
 him

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:27.320
 to

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.719
 proclaim

 greatness

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:28.659
 to

00:36:30.200 --> 00:36:30.780
 God

00:36:30.780 --> 00:36:30.960
 was

00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:32.000
 merciful

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:32.599
 to

 Nebuchadnezzar

00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:34.619

00:36:34.619 --> 00:36:34.920
 look

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:35.099
 what

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:35.380

 same

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:41.380
 offense

00:36:41.380 --> 00:36:41.659
 against

00:36:41.659 --> 00:36:41.820
 a

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.019

00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:58.519
 one

00:36:58.519 --> 00:36:58.920
 get

00:37:05.259 --> 00:37:05.460
 this

00:37:05.460 --> 00:37:05.779
 seems

00:37:05.779 --> 00:37:06.639
 harsh

00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:06.960
 to

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:07.279
 you

00:37:07.279 --> 00:37:08.899
 or

00:37:08.899 --> 00:37:09.639
 unfair

 to

00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:10.460
 you

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:12.059
 I

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:12.219
 think

00:37:12.219 --> 00:37:12.619
 Daniel

00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:12.879
 would

 remind

00:37:13.259 --> 00:37:13.599
 us

00:37:13.940 --> 00:37:14.879
 God

00:37:14.879 --> 00:37:15.500
 doesn't

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:19.980
 God

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:20.619

 Belshazzar

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.420
 judgment

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:00.759
 that's

 God's

00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:08.900
 whom

00:38:08.900 --> 00:38:09.159
 I

 will

00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:13.519
 harden

00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:13.800
 that's

00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:14.000
 his

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.460
 choice

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:15.440
 not

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:15.820
 mine

00:38:15.820 --> 00:38:17.440
 what I

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:17.759
 do

00:38:17.759 --> 00:38:18.179
 know

00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:24.180
 no one

00:38:25.100 --> 00:38:25.960
 mercy

00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:27.940
 so we

00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:28.360
 shouldn't be

00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:28.900

 shouldn't be

00:38:30.180 --> 00:38:30.640
 shocked

00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:31.100
 that God

00:38:31.100 --> 00:38:31.740
 judges

00:38:31.740 --> 00:38:32.660
 Belshazzar's

00:38:32.660 --> 00:38:32.900
 sin

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:33.180
 even

00:38:33.180 --> 00:38:33.860
 immediately

00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:34.380
 for his

00:38:34.380 --> 00:38:34.600
 sin

00:38:34.600 --> 00:38:35.240
 we should

00:38:35.240 --> 00:38:35.820
 be shocked

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:36.280
 that God

00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:36.600
 showed

00:38:36.600 --> 00:38:37.020
 mercy

00:38:37.020 --> 00:38:37.180
 to

00:38:37.180 --> 00:38:37.840
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:39.580
 we should

00:38:39.580 --> 00:38:40.240
 be shocked

00:38:40.240 --> 00:38:41.420
 that God

00:38:41.420 --> 00:38:42.200
 is patient

00:38:42.200 --> 00:38:43.060
 towards us

00:38:43.060 --> 00:38:43.400
 and that he

00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:43.940
 shows sinners

00:38:43.940 --> 00:38:44.600
 like us

00:38:44.600 --> 00:38:45.120
 mercy

00:38:45.120 --> 00:38:45.660
 for our

00:38:45.660 --> 00:38:45.860
 sin

00:38:45.860 --> 00:38:46.100
 we should

00:38:46.100 --> 00:38:46.740
 be amazed

00:38:46.740 --> 00:38:47.080
 by the

00:38:47.080 --> 00:38:47.720
 patience

00:38:47.720 --> 00:38:48.460
 and the

00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:49.220
 loving kindness

00:38:49.220 --> 00:38:49.860
 of God

00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:50.520
 towards sinners

00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:51.179
 but we

00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:51.880
 shouldn't

00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:52.599
 expect

00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:52.880
 his

00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:53.280
 patience

00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:53.759
 to last

00:38:53.759 --> 00:38:54.119
 forever

00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:56.360
 and we

00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:56.659
 shouldn't

00:38:56.659 --> 00:38:57.199
 presume

00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:57.739
 upon the

00:38:57.739 --> 00:38:58.500
 patience

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:58.940
 and the

00:38:58.940 --> 00:38:59.280
 kindness

00:38:59.280 --> 00:38:59.579
 and the

00:38:59.579 --> 00:39:00.099
 forbearance

00:39:00.099 --> 00:39:00.599
 of God

00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:00.860
 what does

00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:01.340
 Paul say

00:39:01.340 --> 00:39:01.559
 his

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:02.280
 kindness

00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:02.800
 is meant

00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:03.280
 to lead

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:03.659
 you to

00:39:03.659 --> 00:39:03.980
 what

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:05.880

00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:06.300
 repentance

00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:09.659
 church

00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:10.380
 this passage

00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:10.719
 is a

00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:11.420
 warning call

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:11.940
 to those

00:39:11.940 --> 00:39:12.159
 who are

00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:12.500
 walking

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:13.059
 in sin

00:39:13.059 --> 00:39:15.719
 it is a

00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:16.400
 warning call

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:16.880
 to those

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:17.099
 who are

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:17.500
 walking

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:18.380
 in pride

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:18.960
 we fool

00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:19.400
 ourselves

00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:19.980
 to think

00:39:19.980 --> 00:39:20.920
 that tomorrow

00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:21.340
 I'll get

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:21.700
 right with

00:39:21.700 --> 00:39:21.980
 God

00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:24.260
 give me

00:39:24.260 --> 00:39:24.599
 one more

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:24.880
 day

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:26.139

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:28.480
 party

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:29.380
 and then

00:39:29.380 --> 00:39:29.720
 I'll get

00:39:29.720 --> 00:39:30.119
 right with

00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:30.400
 God

00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:31.860
 we are

00:39:31.860 --> 00:39:32.260
 not

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:32.800
 owed

00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:33.380
 tomorrow

00:39:33.380 --> 00:39:36.260
 we should

00:39:36.260 --> 00:39:37.019
 not presume

00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:37.519
 upon the

00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:38.139
 kindness

00:39:38.139 --> 00:39:39.340
 mercy

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:40.200
 and the

00:39:40.200 --> 00:39:40.680
 patience

00:39:40.680 --> 00:39:41.360
 of God

00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:41.579
 his

00:39:41.579 --> 00:39:41.980
 kindness

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:42.559
 is meant

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.079
 to lead

00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:43.440
 us

00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:44.380
 to

00:39:44.380 --> 00:39:44.840
 repentance

00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.360
 we need

00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:47.700
 to learn

00:39:47.700 --> 00:39:48.139
 the lesson

00:39:48.139 --> 00:39:48.360
 from

00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:48.940
 Belshazzar

00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:50.039
 church

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.119
 that you

00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:52.579
 can choose

00:39:52.579 --> 00:39:53.000
 to live

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.480
 your life

00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:53.840

 one big

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:54.639
 party

00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:54.900
 but the

00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:55.179
 party

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:55.960
 will not

00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:56.440
 last

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:56.860
 forever

00:39:56.860 --> 00:39:57.380
 the time

00:39:57.380 --> 00:39:57.880
 will come

00:39:57.880 --> 00:39:59.360
 when every

00:39:59.360 --> 00:39:59.860
 one of us

00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:00.380
 will stand

00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:00.860
 before a

00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:01.420
 holy God

00:40:01.420 --> 00:40:03.139

00:40:04.099 --> 00:40:05.440
 to account

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:06.360
 before him

00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:06.840
 and if you

00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:07.679
 are still

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.320

 you will

00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:10.900
 be found

00:40:10.900 --> 00:40:11.900
 lacking

00:40:11.900 --> 00:40:15.119
 but here's

00:41:24.940 --> 00:41:25.420
 only

00:41:25.420 --> 00:41:26.320
 one

00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:27.240
 way

00:41:27.240 --> 00:41:28.019
 turn

00:41:28.019 --> 00:41:28.780
 to Christ

00:41:28.780 --> 00:41:29.280
 Jesus

00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.220
 the gospel

00:41:32.220 --> 00:41:32.760
 is the good

00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:33.039
 news

00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:33.340
 that the

00:41:33.340 --> 00:41:33.660
 son of

00:41:33.660 --> 00:41:33.920
 God

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:34.400
 himself

00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:35.059
 has come

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:35.740
 to bear

00:41:35.740 --> 00:41:36.780
 the wrath

00:41:36.780 --> 00:41:37.539
 of God

00:41:37.539 --> 00:41:38.099
 against

00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:38.860
 us

00:41:38.860 --> 00:41:39.260
 against

00:41:39.260 --> 00:41:39.840
 our

00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:40.559
 sin

00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:42.100
 that he

00:41:42.100 --> 00:41:42.680
 endured

00:41:42.680 --> 00:41:43.300
 the punishment

00:41:43.300 --> 00:41:43.980
 that we

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:44.880
 have earned

00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:45.400
 that he

00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:46.120
 humbled

00:41:46.120 --> 00:41:46.579
 himself

00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:47.079
 to bear

00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:47.559
 the penalty

00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:48.100
 for our

00:41:48.100 --> 00:41:48.620
 pride

00:41:48.620 --> 00:41:50.019
 and now

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:50.620
 he lives

00:41:50.620 --> 00:41:51.260
 and reigns

00:41:51.260 --> 00:41:51.880
 in resurrection

00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:52.539
 to offer

00:41:52.539 --> 00:41:53.180
 eternal

00:41:53.180 --> 00:41:54.039
 life to

00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:54.579
 any

00:41:54.579 --> 00:41:55.420
 sinner

00:41:55.420 --> 00:41:56.079
 who would

00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:56.400
 come to

00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:56.720
 him in

00:41:56.720 --> 00:41:57.000
 faith

00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:57.360
 that's

00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:57.920
 good news

00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:58.340
 for us

00:41:58.340 --> 00:41:58.559
 isn't

00:41:58.559 --> 00:41:59.400
 it

00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:02.740
 friend

00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:03.019
 this

00:42:03.019 --> 00:42:03.640
 story

00:42:03.640 --> 00:42:05.019
 began

00:42:05.019 --> 00:42:05.340
 with a

00:42:05.340 --> 00:42:05.640
 party

00:42:05.640 --> 00:42:06.000
 and it

00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:06.360
 ended

00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:06.780
 in

00:42:06.780 --> 00:42:07.300
 judgment

00:42:07.300 --> 00:42:07.840
 and for

00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:08.120
 many

00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:09.639
 that's

00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:10.079
 the way

00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:12.239
 they

00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:12.500
 treat

00:42:12.500 --> 00:42:12.719
 this

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:13.119
 life

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:14.539
 the

00:42:14.539 --> 00:42:14.880
 perfect

00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:15.400
 description

00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:15.739
 of where

00:42:15.739 --> 00:42:15.900
 their

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:16.159
 life

00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:16.319
 is

00:42:16.319 --> 00:42:16.519
 headed

00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:16.859
 but it

00:42:16.859 --> 00:42:17.219
 doesn't

00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:17.639
 have

00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:18.219
 to be

00:42:18.219 --> 00:42:18.639
 that

00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:19.179
 way

00:42:19.179 --> 00:42:21.880
 for the

00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:22.219
 believer

00:42:22.219 --> 00:42:24.079
 we know

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:24.639
 with confidence

00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:25.039
 that in

00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:25.500
 the end

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:25.980
 Babylon

00:42:25.980 --> 00:42:26.940
 the great

00:42:26.940 --> 00:42:28.179
 will be

00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:28.759
 judged

00:42:28.759 --> 00:42:30.460
 and at the

00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:30.839
 end of the

00:42:30.839 --> 00:42:31.159
 story

00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:31.579
 the last

00:42:31.579 --> 00:42:31.940
 chapters

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:32.159

00:42:33.940 --> 00:42:34.100
 us

00:42:34.100 --> 00:42:34.420
 that in

00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:34.840
 the end

00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:35.539
 when Christ

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:36.519
 returns

00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:37.680
 all of

 those who

00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:39.160
 have

00:42:39.160 --> 00:42:39.840
 repented

00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:40.220
 of their

00:42:40.220 --> 00:42:40.560
 sins

00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:41.580
 and trusted

00:42:41.580 --> 00:42:42.420
 in Christ

00:42:42.420 --> 00:42:42.940
 Jesus

00:42:42.940 --> 00:42:43.620
 whose sins

00:42:43.620 --> 00:42:43.980
 have been

00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:44.960
 paid for

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:45.360
 at the

00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:45.940
 cross of

 pride

00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:17.799
 keep you

00:43:17.799 --> 00:43:18.699
 from coming

00:43:34.380 --> 00:43:34.780
 work of

00:43:34.780 --> 00:43:35.080
 Christ

00:43:35.080 --> 00:43:35.380
 on the

00:43:35.380 --> 00:43:35.680
 cross

00:43:35.680 --> 00:43:36.160
 to pay

00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:36.740
 for my

00:43:36.740 --> 00:43:37.240
 sin

00:43:37.240 --> 00:43:39.100
 to pay

00:43:39.100 --> 00:43:39.640
 the wrath

00:43:39.640 --> 00:43:40.000
 of God

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:40.720
 against my

00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:41.280
 pride

00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:43.520
 Lord we

 pray if there

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:44.380

00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:45.160
 here who

00:43:45.160 --> 00:43:45.840
 don't know

00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:46.180
 you who

00:43:46.180 --> 00:43:46.540
 are still

00:43:46.540 --> 00:43:47.340
 walking in

00:43:47.340 --> 00:43:48.780
 sinful rebellion

00:43:48.780 --> 00:43:49.380
 against you

00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:49.880
 Lord would you

00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:50.760
 humble them

00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:51.680
 now that they

00:43:51.680 --> 00:43:52.260
 might cast

00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:52.700
 themselves

00:43:52.700 --> 00:43:53.820
 completely

00:43:53.820 --> 00:43:54.760
 trusting in

00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:55.380
 Christ alone

00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:55.700
 for their

00:43:55.700 --> 00:43:56.180
 salvation

00:43:56.179 --> 00:43:58.019
 and Lord we

 live each

00:44:00.579 --> 00:44:01.559
 day today

00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:02.119
 in light of

00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:02.919
 that day

00:44:02.919 --> 00:44:03.639
 when the

00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:04.019
 Lord will

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:04.639
 return and

00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:05.500
 make all
