00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.279
It<00:06:59.079><c> didn't</c><00:06:59.319><c> exist.</c>

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.500

00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:08.800
It's<00:07:08.259><c> magnificent.</c>

00:07:09.139 --> 00:07:12.379
The<00:07:09.160><c> way</c><00:07:09.439><c> that</c><00:07:10.180><c> was</c><00:07:10.600><c> excavated</c><00:07:11.040><c> by</c><00:07:11.360><c> the</c><00:07:11.480><c> archaeologists</c><00:07:12.019><c> and</c>

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.019
I<00:07:16.939><c> think,</c><00:07:17.079><c> well,</c><00:07:17.079><c> that</c><00:07:17.220><c> might</c><00:07:17.379><c> have</c><00:07:17.500><c> been</c><00:07:17.680><c> built</c><00:07:17.839><c> 20</c><00:07:18.199><c> years</c><00:07:18.500><c> ago.</c>

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.139
just<00:07:28.720><c> how</c><00:07:28.980><c> sophisticated</c><00:07:29.560><c> the</c><00:07:29.879><c> city</c>

00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:33.560

wonderful<00:07:34.019><c> buildings.</c>

00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:43.360
Now,<00:07:37.980><c> sometimes</c><00:07:38.339><c> people</c><00:07:38.720><c> get</c><00:07:40.000><c> a</c><00:07:40.000><c> little</c><00:07:40.779><c> confused</c><00:07:41.459><c> about</c><00:07:42.019><c> the</c>

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:41.980
Daniel<00:15:38.200><c> went</c><00:15:38.419><c> away</c><00:15:38.879><c> in</c><00:15:39.159><c> that</c><00:15:39.500><c> first</c><00:15:39.820><c> invasion,</c><00:15:40.440><c> the</c><00:15:40.720><c> third</c><00:15:41.019><c> year</c><00:15:41.259><c> of</c><00:15:41.399><c> Jehoiakim.</c>

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:48.360
And<00:15:42.620><c> we</c><00:15:42.740><c> just</c><00:15:43.000><c> read</c><00:15:44.000><c> that</c><00:15:45.899><c> Jeremiah</c><00:15:47.360><c> said,</c><00:15:47.759><c> those</c><00:15:48.000><c> who</c><00:15:48.220><c> went</c>

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:06.059
But<00:24:05.200><c> in</c><00:24:05.319><c> verse</c><00:24:05.559><c> 8</c><00:24:05.740><c> it</c><00:24:05.920><c> says,</c>

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:07.660
but<00:24:06.259><c> Daniel</c><00:24:06.619><c> purposed</c><00:24:07.119><c> in</c><00:24:07.259><c> his</c><00:24:07.500><c> heart</c>

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:09.680
that<00:24:07.819><c> he</c><00:24:07.920><c> would</c><00:24:08.299><c> not</c><00:24:08.680><c> defile</c><00:24:09.240><c> himself</c>

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:11.319
with<00:24:09.880><c> the</c><00:24:10.079><c> portion</c><00:24:10.380><c> of</c><00:24:10.660><c> the</c><00:24:10.819><c> king's</c><00:24:11.119><c> meat</c>

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:15.440
therefore<00:24:13.539><c> he</c><00:24:13.920><c> requested</c><00:24:14.359><c> of</c><00:24:14.559><c> the</c><00:24:14.720><c> prince</c><00:24:14.920><c> of</c><00:24:15.059><c> the</c><00:24:15.240><c> eunuchs</c>

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.140
that<00:24:15.599><c> he</c><00:24:15.839><c> might</c><00:24:16.119><c> not</c><00:24:16.400><c> defile</c><00:24:16.740><c> himself.</c>

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.079
Now<00:24:17.720><c> here's</c><00:24:17.960><c> a</c><00:24:18.140><c> great</c><00:24:18.299><c> example,</c><00:24:18.960><c> young</c><00:24:19.039><c> people.</c>

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:22.500
Daniel<00:24:20.700><c> made</c><00:24:21.019><c> up</c><00:24:21.200><c> his</c><00:24:21.440><c> mind</c>

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:27.779

00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:30.039
Now<00:24:28.380><c> it</c><00:24:28.519><c> wasn't</c><00:24:28.740><c> a</c><00:24:28.839><c> big</c><00:24:29.019><c> issue.</c>

00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:32.660
1<00:24:31.019><c> Corinthians</c><00:24:31.460><c> 8</c><00:24:31.779><c> says,</c>

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:35.440
we<00:24:32.900><c> won't</c><00:24:33.099><c> turn</c><00:24:33.380><c> to</c><00:24:33.440><c> it</c><00:24:33.539><c> because</c><00:24:33.740><c> we've</c><00:24:33.900><c> only</c><00:24:34.079><c> got</c><00:24:34.220><c> about</c><00:24:34.480><c> 10</c><00:24:34.680><c> minutes</c>

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:37.079
but<00:24:36.099><c> he</c><00:24:36.359><c> says,</c>

00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:41.180
Paul<00:24:38.119><c> says,</c><00:24:38.700><c> we</c><00:24:38.700><c> know</c><00:24:39.019><c> that</c><00:24:39.200><c> an</c><00:24:39.440><c> idol</c><00:24:39.539><c> is</c><00:24:39.859><c> nothing</c><00:24:40.119><c> in</c><00:24:40.299><c> the</c><00:24:40.460><c> world.</c>

00:24:43.099 --> 00:24:43.920
Nothing.

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:48.539
He<00:24:46.500><c> said,</c><00:24:46.740><c> how</c><00:24:46.819><c> be</c><00:24:46.980><c> it,</c><00:24:47.119><c> there</c><00:24:47.279><c> is</c><00:24:47.400><c> not</c><00:24:47.539><c> in</c><00:24:47.680><c> every</c><00:24:47.859><c> man</c><00:24:48.039><c> that</c><00:24:48.240><c> knowledge</c>

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:51.720
and<00:24:48.720><c> we</c><00:24:48.859><c> know</c><00:24:49.420><c> that</c><00:24:50.359><c> he</c><00:24:50.519><c> then</c><00:24:50.740><c> goes</c><00:24:50.920><c> on</c><00:24:51.119><c> to</c><00:24:51.299><c> talk</c><00:24:51.420><c> about</c>

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.880
giving<00:24:51.960><c> offence</c><00:24:52.420><c> to</c><00:24:52.660><c> people</c>

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.480
who<00:24:53.140><c> might</c><00:24:53.519><c> find</c><00:24:54.559><c> that</c><00:24:55.079><c> association</c><00:24:55.740><c> with</c><00:24:56.079><c> idolatry</c><00:24:56.839><c> offensive.</c>

00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:02.700
Therefore<00:24:58.420><c> we</c><00:24:58.619><c> adjust</c><00:24:59.000><c> our</c><00:24:59.279><c> way</c><00:24:59.579><c> of</c><00:25:00.140><c> living</c><00:25:00.440><c> to</c><00:25:01.160><c> accommodate</c><00:25:01.599><c> that.</c>

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:05.720
So,<00:25:04.420><c> Daniel</c><00:25:04.420><c> could</c><00:25:04.660><c> have</c><00:25:04.779><c> said,</c>

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:07.420
oh,<00:25:06.519><c> it's</c><00:25:06.680><c> just</c><00:25:06.880><c> meat</c><00:25:07.059><c> and</c><00:25:07.259><c> wine.</c>

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:08.880
I<00:25:07.539><c> mean,</c><00:25:07.819><c> what's</c><00:25:08.160><c> the</c><00:25:08.160><c> matter?</c>

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:09.680
Idol's<00:25:09.460><c> nothing.</c>

00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:11.539
We<00:25:10.059><c> don't</c><00:25:10.279><c> believe</c><00:25:10.500><c> in</c><00:25:10.660><c> that.</c>

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.779
Here's<00:25:13.380><c> the</c><00:25:13.579><c> moral</c><00:25:13.779><c> lesson.</c>

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:17.559
Daniel<00:25:15.599><c> and</c><00:25:15.819><c> his</c><00:25:16.039><c> three</c><00:25:16.259><c> friends</c><00:25:16.500><c> were</c><00:25:16.799><c> smart</c><00:25:17.079><c> enough</c>

00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.460

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:22.900
They<00:25:21.779><c> said,</c>

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:25.339
as<00:25:23.859><c> it</c><00:25:24.039><c> were</c><00:25:24.259><c> to</c><00:25:24.420><c> themselves,</c>

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.859
there's<00:25:25.779><c> nothing</c><00:25:25.980><c> wrong</c><00:25:26.180><c> with</c><00:25:26.380><c> this</c><00:25:26.619><c> meat,</c>

But,<00:25:32.420><c> Daniel</c><00:25:32.740><c> said,</c>

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.099
And<00:25:57.119><c> Daniel</c><00:25:57.519><c> said</c><00:25:57.839><c> to</c><00:25:58.000><c> his</c><00:25:58.279><c> friends,</c>

00:25:59.180 --> 00:26:01.400
that's<00:25:59.660><c> it,</c><00:25:59.920><c> we're</c><00:26:00.220><c> not</c><00:26:00.640><c> doing</c><00:26:01.079><c> it.</c>

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:11.460
It's<00:26:09.619><c> a</c><00:26:09.640><c> good</c><00:26:09.759><c> idea</c><00:26:10.019><c> when</c><00:26:10.160><c> you</c><00:26:10.299><c> go</c><00:26:10.400><c> to</c><00:26:10.579><c> work.</c>

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.599

00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:21.700
If<00:26:20.660><c> you</c><00:26:20.920><c> don't,</c>

00:26:21.900 --> 00:26:24.359

00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:39.400
although<00:26:38.759><c> he</c><00:26:38.940><c> wouldn't</c><00:26:39.099><c> mind</c>

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.920

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:45.279
When<00:26:42.539><c> he</c><00:26:42.740><c> went</c><00:26:42.980><c> to</c><00:26:44.960><c> work</c>
