00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.240
The<00:13:08.480><c> Lord</c><00:13:08.700><c> gives</c><00:13:08.919><c> a</c><00:13:09.139><c> prophecy</c><00:13:09.419><c> to</c><00:13:09.899><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.759
It<00:13:10.279><c> says</c><00:13:10.559><c> in</c><00:13:10.740><c> chapter</c><00:13:11.039><c> five,</c><00:13:12.279><c> verse</c><00:13:12.480><c> one,</c>

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.019
Go<00:13:13.320><c> up</c><00:13:13.679><c> and</c><00:13:14.120><c> down</c><00:13:14.279><c> the</c><00:13:14.539><c> streets</c><00:13:14.679><c> of</c><00:13:14.919><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.799
Go<00:13:16.820><c> anywhere</c><00:13:17.200><c> in</c><00:13:17.440><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:19.899
Look<00:13:18.440><c> around</c><00:13:18.720><c> and</c><00:13:19.019><c> consider.</c>

00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:21.480
Search<00:13:20.480><c> through</c><00:13:20.799><c> her</c><00:13:21.039><c> squares.</c>

00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:22.639
Here's<00:13:22.240><c> the</c><00:13:22.379><c> point.</c>

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:29.139
If<00:13:23.139><c> you</c><00:13:23.379><c> can</c><00:13:23.740><c> find</c><00:13:24.340><c> but</c><00:13:24.960><c> one</c><00:13:25.379><c> person</c><00:13:26.179><c> who</c><00:13:26.919><c> deals</c><00:13:27.419><c> honestly</c><00:13:28.399><c> and</c>

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:29.840
seeks<00:13:29.379><c> the</c><00:13:29.659><c> truth.</c>

00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.200
That's<00:13:30.379><c> the</c><00:13:30.460><c> kind</c><00:13:30.679><c> of</c><00:13:30.840><c> world,</c><00:13:31.120><c> Daniel.</c>

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:36.059
He<00:13:31.600><c> was</c><00:13:31.740><c> living</c><00:13:31.960><c> in</c><00:13:32.179><c> a</c><00:13:32.360><c> corrupt</c><00:13:33.159><c> and</c><00:13:34.080><c> evil</c><00:13:34.779><c> time.</c>

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.820
Just<00:13:36.620><c> one</c><00:13:36.980><c> person,</c><00:13:37.539><c> it</c><00:13:37.919><c> says,</c><00:13:38.720><c> who</c><00:13:39.019><c> deals</c><00:13:39.580><c> honestly</c><00:13:40.120><c> and</c><00:13:40.259><c> seeks</c><00:13:40.500><c> the</c><00:13:40.679><c> truth.</c>

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:42.580
And<00:13:40.940><c> he</c><00:13:41.000><c> says,</c><00:13:41.200><c> I'll</c><00:13:41.320><c> forgive</c><00:13:41.519><c> the</c><00:13:41.740><c> city.</c>

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.799
Although<00:13:43.799><c> they</c><00:13:44.100><c> say</c><00:13:44.240><c> a</c><00:13:44.419><c> sureless</c><00:13:44.659><c> Lord</c><00:13:44.860><c> lives,</c><00:13:45.779><c> they're</c><00:13:46.019><c> lying.</c>

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.740
They<00:13:47.440><c> don't</c><00:13:47.659><c> really</c><00:13:48.039><c> believe</c><00:13:48.259><c> in</c><00:13:48.419><c> the</c><00:13:48.539><c> Lord.</c>

00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:51.419
So<00:13:49.299><c> we're</c><00:13:49.500><c> talking</c><00:13:49.779><c> about</c><00:13:50.039><c> people</c><00:13:50.340><c> who</c><00:13:50.559><c> are</c><00:13:50.620><c> supposed</c><00:13:50.899><c> to</c><00:13:51.080><c> love</c><00:13:51.240><c> the</c>

00:13:51.419 --> 00:13:52.740
truth<00:13:51.539><c> and</c><00:13:51.679><c> believe</c><00:13:51.960><c> the</c><00:13:52.200><c> truth,</c>

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:57.139
actually<00:13:53.799><c> not</c><00:13:54.639><c> doing</c><00:13:55.000><c> so</c><00:13:55.600><c> really</c><00:13:56.080><c> and</c><00:13:56.360><c> truly.</c>

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:58.159
Look<00:13:57.519><c> at</c><00:13:57.720><c> verse</c><00:13:57.919><c> three.</c>

00:13:58.259 --> 00:14:02.580
Oh<00:13:58.259><c> Lord,</c><00:14:00.220><c> do</c><00:14:00.299><c> not</c><00:14:00.639><c> your</c><00:14:00.919><c> eyes</c><00:14:01.259><c> look</c><00:14:01.440><c> for</c><00:14:01.700><c> truth?</c>

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.919
You<00:14:03.320><c> struck</c><00:14:03.700><c> them,</c><00:14:04.759><c> but</c><00:14:04.840><c> they</c><00:14:05.080><c> felt</c><00:14:05.259><c> no</c><00:14:05.600><c> pain.</c>

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.080
You<00:14:06.240><c> crushed</c><00:14:06.519><c> them,</c><00:14:06.799><c> but</c><00:14:06.940><c> they</c><00:14:07.299><c> refused</c><00:14:07.559><c> correction.</c>

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:11.440
They<00:14:08.620><c> made</c><00:14:08.779><c> their</c><00:14:09.080><c> faces</c><00:14:09.399><c> harder</c><00:14:09.779><c> than</c><00:14:10.080><c> stone</c><00:14:10.320><c> and</c><00:14:10.539><c> refused</c>

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:12.659
to<00:14:12.200><c> repent.</c>

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:18.500
I<00:14:13.179><c> thought</c><00:14:13.559><c> these</c><00:14:17.220><c> are</c><00:14:17.659><c> only</c><00:14:17.960><c> the</c><00:14:18.120><c> poor.</c>

00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:19.980
They<00:14:18.799><c> are</c><00:14:19.019><c> foolish.</c>

00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:22.279
Verse<00:14:20.519><c> four,</c><00:14:20.980><c> this</c><00:14:20.980><c> is,</c><00:14:21.200><c> for</c><00:14:21.240><c> they</c><00:14:21.460><c> do</c><00:14:21.620><c> not</c><00:14:21.740><c> know</c><00:14:21.940><c> the</c><00:14:22.000><c> way</c><00:14:22.139><c> of</c>

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:22.519
the<00:14:22.379><c> Lord,</c>

00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.159
the<00:14:22.740><c> requirements</c><00:14:23.200><c> of</c><00:14:23.740><c> their</c><00:14:24.000><c> God.</c>

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.360
So<00:14:24.360><c> I</c><00:14:24.480><c> will</c><00:14:24.639><c> go</c><00:14:24.820><c> to</c><00:14:24.980><c> the</c><00:14:25.100><c> leaders.</c>

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:28.139
So<00:14:25.559><c> he</c><00:14:25.559><c> says,</c><00:14:25.779><c> OK,</c><00:14:25.980><c> look</c><00:14:26.179><c> around</c><00:14:26.440><c> those</c><00:14:26.759><c> people</c><00:14:27.159><c> and</c><00:14:27.480><c> then</c><00:14:27.679><c> look</c><00:14:27.779><c> what</c><00:14:27.899><c> the</c>

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:29.539
leaders<00:14:28.320><c> are</c><00:14:28.500><c> up</c><00:14:28.700><c> to.</c>

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.860
So<00:14:29.980><c> I</c><00:14:30.059><c> will</c><00:14:30.139><c> go</c><00:14:30.259><c> to</c><00:14:30.440><c> the</c><00:14:30.559><c> leaders</c><00:14:30.919><c> and</c><00:14:31.460><c> speak</c><00:14:31.779><c> to</c><00:14:31.960><c> them.</c>

00:14:33.019 --> 00:14:36.139
Surely<00:14:33.419><c> they</c><00:14:33.679><c> know</c><00:14:33.879><c> the</c><00:14:34.000><c> way</c><00:14:34.139><c> of</c><00:14:34.340><c> the</c><00:14:34.500><c> Lord,</c><00:14:35.080><c> the</c><00:14:35.220><c> requirements</c><00:14:35.600><c> of</c><00:14:35.799><c> their</c><00:14:35.980><c> God.</c>

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:41.279
But<00:14:36.299><c> with</c><00:14:36.519><c> one</c><00:14:36.740><c> accord,</c><00:14:37.480><c> they</c><00:14:37.899><c> too</c><00:14:38.379><c> have</c><00:14:38.919><c> broken</c><00:14:39.519><c> off</c><00:14:40.100><c> the</c><00:14:40.360><c> yoke</c><00:14:40.879><c> and</c>

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:42.279
torn<00:14:41.539><c> off</c><00:14:41.779><c> the</c><00:14:42.039><c> bonds.</c>

00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.220
Meaning<00:14:42.639><c> they</c><00:14:42.919><c> too</c><00:14:43.220><c> have</c><00:14:43.460><c> become</c><00:14:43.840><c> unfaithful.</c>

00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.480
Therefore<00:14:45.639><c> the</c><00:14:45.879><c> lion</c><00:14:46.159><c> from</c><00:14:46.379><c> the</c><00:14:46.600><c> forest</c><00:14:46.759><c> will</c><00:14:46.980><c> attack</c><00:14:47.299><c> them.</c>

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.940
A<00:14:47.639><c> wolf</c><00:14:48.019><c> from</c><00:14:48.879><c> the</c><00:14:49.100><c> desert</c><00:14:49.259><c> will</c><00:14:49.559><c> ravish</c><00:14:49.840><c> them.</c>

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.399
A<00:14:50.139><c> leopard</c><00:14:50.399><c> will</c><00:14:50.720><c> lie</c><00:14:51.019><c> in</c><00:14:51.320><c> wait</c><00:14:51.480><c> near</c><00:14:51.820><c> their</c><00:14:52.179><c> town,</c>

00:14:54.820 --> 00:14:59.559
for<00:14:54.899><c> their</c><00:14:55.179><c> rebellion</c><00:14:55.700><c> is</c><00:14:56.159><c> great</c><00:14:56.460><c> and</c><00:14:57.080><c> they're</c><00:14:57.460><c> backsliding</c><00:14:58.580><c> many.</c>

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:02.799
OK,<00:15:01.399><c> look</c><00:15:01.539><c> what</c><00:15:01.679><c> it</c><00:15:01.779><c> says</c><00:15:01.960><c> in</c><00:15:02.120><c> verse</c><00:15:02.259><c> seven</c><00:15:02.519><c> now.</c>

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:04.259
Why<00:15:03.340><c> should</c><00:15:03.620><c> I</c><00:15:03.820><c> forgive</c><00:15:04.080><c> you?</c>

00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:07.139
Your<00:15:04.840><c> children</c><00:15:05.340><c> have</c><00:15:05.559><c> forsaken</c><00:15:05.899><c> me</c><00:15:06.080><c> and</c><00:15:06.299><c> sworn</c><00:15:06.460><c> by</c><00:15:06.759><c> gods</c><00:15:06.960><c> that</c>

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:17.659

do<00:18:00.960><c> this</c><00:18:01.460><c> is</c><00:18:01.720><c> because</c><00:18:01.839><c> the</c><00:18:02.019><c> Lord</c><00:18:02.220><c> says</c><00:18:02.460><c> so</c>

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.759
and<00:18:02.779><c> if</c><00:18:02.900><c> the</c><00:18:03.079><c> Lord</c><00:18:03.240><c> says</c><00:18:03.480><c> it</c><00:18:03.859><c> and</c><00:18:04.079><c> we</c><00:18:04.240><c> do</c><00:18:04.380><c> it,</c><00:18:04.539><c> we'll</c><00:18:04.720><c> be</c><00:18:04.940><c> saved.</c>

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.019
And<00:18:06.960><c> that's</c><00:18:07.380><c> what</c><00:18:07.559><c> you've</c><00:18:07.779><c> got</c><00:18:07.859><c> to</c><00:18:07.980><c> explain</c><00:18:08.180><c> to</c><00:18:08.319><c> your</c><00:18:08.480><c> children</c><00:18:08.640><c> to</c><00:18:08.799><c> go</c>

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.140
Now<00:18:11.480><c> the</c><00:18:11.900><c> point</c><00:18:12.160><c> I'm</c><00:18:12.400><c> making</c><00:18:12.720><c> is</c><00:18:13.200><c> this.</c>

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:17.880
What<00:18:15.539><c> happened</c><00:18:15.980><c> to</c><00:18:16.279><c> Daniel's</c><00:18:16.819><c> parents?</c>

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:21.640
How<00:18:19.460><c> old</c><00:18:20.019><c> is</c><00:18:20.180><c> Daniel</c><00:18:20.480><c> in</c><00:18:20.640><c> Daniel</c><00:18:20.960><c> chapter</c><00:18:21.279><c> 1?</c>

00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:23.440
How<00:18:21.940><c> old</c><00:18:22.099><c> do</c><00:18:22.259><c> you</c><00:18:22.259><c> think</c><00:18:22.440><c> he</c><00:18:22.579><c> is?</c>

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:29.559
Say<00:18:24.099><c> again,</c><00:18:24.480><c> teenager,</c><00:18:25.720><c> 12,</c><00:18:26.180><c> 13,</c><00:18:27.200><c> could</c><00:18:27.220><c> be</c><00:18:28.299><c> 18,</c><00:18:29.240><c> whatever,</c>

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.240
but<00:18:29.740><c> where's</c><00:18:30.079><c> his</c><00:18:30.319><c> parents?</c>

What<00:18:32.539><c> happened</c><00:18:32.819><c> to</c><00:18:33.019><c> them?</c>

00:18:34.619 --> 00:18:35.559
Say<00:18:34.799><c> again.</c>

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:39.920
There's<00:18:36.740><c> no</c><00:18:36.960><c> mention</c><00:18:37.180><c> in</c><00:18:37.339><c> his</c><00:18:37.519><c> parents</c><00:18:37.779><c> by</c><00:18:38.160><c> name,</c><00:18:39.380><c> but</c><00:18:39.640><c> what</c>

00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.559
happened<00:18:40.160><c> to</c><00:18:40.339><c> the</c><00:18:40.559><c> nobles?</c>

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:43.759
They<00:18:42.539><c> were</c><00:18:42.779><c> killed.</c>

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:47.259
Now<00:18:44.900><c> Daniel</c><00:18:45.059><c> was</c><00:18:45.259><c> a</c><00:18:45.440><c> noble,</c><00:18:46.039><c> he</c><00:18:46.140><c> was</c><00:18:46.140><c> part</c><00:18:46.299><c> of</c><00:18:46.460><c> the</c><00:18:46.599><c> royal</c><00:18:46.839><c> line,</c><00:18:47.220><c> he</c>

00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:48.180
was<00:18:47.259><c> part</c><00:18:47.440><c> of</c><00:18:47.559><c> the</c><00:18:47.619><c> royal</c><00:18:47.819><c> family.</c>

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.859
We<00:18:48.640><c> don't</c><00:18:48.880><c> actually</c><00:18:49.240><c> know</c><00:18:49.599><c> whether,</c><00:18:50.660><c> well</c><00:18:50.960><c> I'll</c><00:18:51.299><c> prove</c><00:18:51.480><c> it</c><00:18:51.740><c> to</c>

00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:53.039
you<00:18:51.980><c> in</c><00:18:52.160><c> a</c><00:18:52.339><c> sense.</c>

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.059
Let's<00:18:56.559><c> go</c><00:18:56.740><c> back</c><00:18:56.920><c> to</c><00:18:57.160><c> Daniel.</c>

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.940
Look<00:19:16.720><c> at</c><00:19:17.440><c> Jeremiah</c><00:19:19.319><c> chapter</c><00:19:19.660><c> 39</c><00:19:20.119><c> verse</c><00:19:20.480><c> 6.</c>

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:22.720
This<00:19:21.359><c> is</c><00:19:21.500><c> for</c><00:19:21.759><c> the</c><00:19:21.839><c> fall</c><00:19:21.980><c> of</c><00:19:22.200><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:26.299
Now<00:19:23.160><c> Daniel</c><00:19:23.319><c> obviously</c><00:19:23.680><c> went</c><00:19:23.900><c> before</c><00:19:24.859><c> this</c><00:19:25.279><c> took</c><00:19:25.559><c> place.</c>

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:30.440
In<00:19:27.819><c> Jeremiah</c><00:19:28.539><c> chapter</c><00:19:28.900><c> 39</c>

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.319

00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.240
They,<00:19:45.059><c> there</c><00:19:45.440><c> at</c><00:19:45.559><c> Ribla,</c><00:19:45.900><c> the</c><00:19:46.000><c> king</c><00:19:46.180><c> of</c><00:19:46.279><c> Babylon</c><00:19:46.440><c> slaughtered</c>

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.480
the<00:19:47.319><c> sons</c><00:19:47.579><c> of</c><00:19:47.799><c> Zedekiah,</c>

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:55.119
put<00:19:48.920><c> out</c><00:19:49.299><c> his</c><00:19:49.559><c> eyes</c><00:19:49.720><c> and</c><00:19:50.059><c> also</c><00:19:50.660><c> killed</c><00:19:51.359><c> all</c><00:19:52.559><c> the</c><00:19:52.980><c> nobles</c><00:19:53.660><c> of</c><00:19:54.180><c> Judah.</c>

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.740
Now<00:19:56.660><c> I'm</c><00:19:56.759><c> not</c><00:19:57.160><c> saying</c><00:19:57.819><c> for</c><00:19:58.380><c> definite</c><00:19:58.740><c> that</c><00:19:59.079><c> Daniel's</c><00:19:59.500><c> parents</c>

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.799
We<00:20:00.759><c> just</c><00:20:01.019><c> don't</c><00:20:01.500><c> know.</c>

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:06.119
But<00:20:02.440><c> certainly</c><00:20:02.960><c> he's</c><00:20:03.640><c> orphaned</c><00:20:04.019><c> by</c><00:20:04.259><c> the</c><00:20:04.400><c> time</c><00:20:04.559><c> we</c><00:20:04.619><c> get</c><00:20:04.799><c> to</c><00:20:04.980><c> Daniel</c><00:20:05.200><c> chapter</c><00:20:05.559><c> 1.</c>

Now<00:20:06.759><c> the</c><00:20:06.920><c> point</c><00:20:07.079><c> I'm</c><00:20:07.200><c> trying</c><00:20:07.420><c> to</c><00:20:07.640><c> make</c><00:20:07.839><c> is,</c><00:20:08.339><c> look</c><00:20:08.519><c> at</c><00:20:08.660><c> the</c><00:20:08.819><c> kind</c>

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.940
He<00:20:10.759><c> was</c><00:20:10.920><c> living</c><00:20:11.059><c> in</c><00:20:11.220><c> a</c><00:20:11.480><c> corrupt</c><00:20:12.039><c> and</c><00:20:12.680><c> sinful</c><00:20:13.160><c> generation.</c>

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.400
And<00:20:22.440><c> yet</c><00:20:23.180><c> he</c><00:20:24.339><c> decides</c><00:20:25.180><c> something.</c>

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:40.519
Daniel<00:20:36.140><c> resolved</c><00:20:36.980><c> not</c><00:20:38.019><c> to</c><00:20:38.339><c> defile</c><00:20:38.720><c> himself</c><00:20:39.259><c> with</c><00:20:39.519><c> the</c><00:20:39.740><c> royal</c><00:20:40.099><c> food</c>

00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:56.220
He<00:20:53.460><c> decided</c><00:20:53.900><c> it</c><00:20:54.140><c> because</c><00:20:54.420><c> he</c><00:20:54.779><c> knew</c><00:20:55.200><c> the</c><00:20:55.920><c> laws.</c>

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.980
And<00:21:34.700><c> we</c><00:21:34.839><c> have</c><00:21:34.980><c> a</c><00:21:35.180><c> young</c><00:21:35.400><c> man</c><00:21:35.579><c> who</c><00:21:35.839><c> decides,</c><00:21:36.539><c> thank</c><00:21:36.720><c> you,</c><00:21:36.940><c> but</c>

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:42.359

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:45.319
They've<00:21:45.059><c> gone.</c>

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.519
We're<00:21:45.759><c> on</c><00:21:45.900><c> our</c><00:21:46.079><c> own</c><00:21:46.220><c> now.</c>

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:49.259

00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.380
Why<00:21:51.980><c> would</c><00:21:52.160><c> he</c><00:21:52.319><c> do</c><00:21:52.599><c> that?</c>

00:21:54.339 --> 00:21:56.079
Imagine<00:21:54.779><c> it,</c><00:21:55.359><c> younger</c><00:21:55.619><c> ones.</c>

00:21:56.259 --> 00:21:56.859
You're<00:21:56.359><c> single.</c>

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:08.180
And<00:22:07.000><c> you</c><00:22:07.200><c> choose</c><00:22:07.480><c> not</c><00:22:07.759><c> to</c><00:22:07.940><c> do</c><00:22:08.059><c> that.</c>

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.539
You're<00:22:08.380><c> on</c><00:22:08.480><c> your</c><00:22:08.700><c> own</c><00:22:08.900><c> and</c><00:22:09.059><c> you</c><00:22:09.299><c> choose</c><00:22:09.680><c> to</c><00:22:10.420><c> be</c><00:22:11.019><c> faithful.</c>

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:13.059
You<00:22:11.880><c> choose</c><00:22:12.180><c> to</c><00:22:12.359><c> be</c><00:22:12.579><c> godly.</c>

00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:14.940
You<00:22:13.519><c> choose</c><00:22:13.819><c> to</c><00:22:14.019><c> try</c><00:22:14.160><c> and</c><00:22:14.220><c> live</c><00:22:14.299><c> a</c><00:22:14.460><c> holy</c><00:22:14.619><c> life.</c>

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:17.240
Now<00:22:15.220><c> why</c><00:22:15.559><c> would</c><00:22:15.759><c> he</c><00:22:15.980><c> do</c><00:22:16.339><c> that?</c>

00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:21.279
Because<00:22:19.420><c> why</c><00:22:19.859><c> would</c><00:22:20.220><c> he</c><00:22:20.319><c> do</c><00:22:20.480><c> it?</c>

00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:22.460
He<00:22:21.940><c> believed.</c>

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.180
But<00:22:22.700><c> then</c><00:22:22.900><c> you</c><00:22:22.920><c> think,</c><00:22:23.200><c> well,</c><00:22:23.359><c> why</c><00:22:23.680><c> did</c><00:22:23.819><c> he</c><00:22:23.940><c> believe?</c>

00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:26.559
Well,<00:22:24.720><c> look</c><00:22:25.000><c> what's</c><00:22:25.380><c> happened</c><00:22:25.539><c> to</c><00:22:25.759><c> him.</c>

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:28.960
Think<00:22:27.160><c> about</c><00:22:27.380><c> what's</c><00:22:27.720><c> happened</c><00:22:27.859><c> to</c><00:22:28.039><c> him.</c>

00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.880
Possibly<00:22:29.839><c> he's</c><00:22:30.180><c> lost</c><00:22:30.440><c> his</c><00:22:30.779><c> parents.</c>

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:33.759
Possibly<00:22:32.539><c> he's</c><00:22:32.759><c> lost</c><00:22:32.960><c> his</c><00:22:33.240><c> family.</c>

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:35.519
He's<00:22:34.259><c> certainly</c><00:22:34.500><c> lost</c><00:22:34.720><c> his</c><00:22:35.059><c> culture.</c>

00:22:35.859 --> 00:22:37.980
He's<00:22:36.160><c> lost</c><00:22:36.440><c> his</c><00:22:36.700><c> environment</c><00:22:37.180><c> to</c><00:22:37.480><c> worship.</c>

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:40.640
He's<00:22:38.700><c> lost</c><00:22:39.140><c> the</c><00:22:40.240><c> country.</c>

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:41.700
He's<00:22:40.799><c> not</c><00:22:40.940><c> living</c><00:22:41.140><c> there</c><00:22:41.400><c> anymore.</c>

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:43.480
He's<00:22:42.180><c> taken</c><00:22:42.400><c> to</c><00:22:42.599><c> a</c><00:22:42.759><c> new</c><00:22:42.960><c> country.</c>

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:46.079
He's<00:22:43.940><c> got</c><00:22:44.059><c> his</c><00:22:44.279><c> three</c><00:22:44.460><c> friends</c><00:22:44.819><c> with</c><00:22:45.019><c> him.</c>

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:48.099
Maybe<00:22:46.700><c> they</c><00:22:46.859><c> were</c><00:22:47.019><c> related</c><00:22:47.299><c> to</c><00:22:47.440><c> him</c><00:22:47.559><c> as</c><00:22:47.759><c> well.</c>

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.259
But<00:22:48.779><c> he's</c><00:22:49.099><c> lost</c><00:22:49.339><c> everything</c><00:22:50.019><c> else.</c>

00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:52.980
And<00:22:50.460><c> yet</c><00:22:50.619><c> he</c><00:22:50.920><c> still</c><00:22:51.160><c> decides</c><00:22:51.559><c> to</c><00:22:51.779><c> serve</c><00:22:51.980><c> the</c><00:22:52.160><c> Lord.</c>

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.460
Now<00:22:53.779><c> to</c><00:22:54.059><c> me</c><00:22:54.440><c> it</c><00:22:54.599><c> can</c><00:22:54.799><c> only</c><00:22:55.059><c> come</c><00:22:55.339><c> down</c><00:22:55.660><c> to,</c><00:22:55.799><c> and</c><00:22:55.880><c> this</c><00:22:56.000><c> is</c><00:22:56.140><c> why</c><00:22:56.319><c> I</c>

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:57.319
said<00:22:56.519><c> the</c><00:22:56.740><c> first</c><00:22:56.980><c> part,</c>

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:58.460

00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:21.079
You<00:23:19.720><c> don't</c><00:23:19.940><c> have</c><00:23:20.259><c> to</c><00:23:20.359><c> be</c><00:23:20.519><c> godless.</c>

00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:22.859

Because<00:23:26.539><c> the</c><00:23:26.759><c> Lord</c><00:23:26.940><c> is</c><00:23:27.099><c> going</c><00:23:27.319><c> to</c><00:23:27.380><c> punish</c><00:23:27.720><c> us</c><00:23:28.420><c> for</c><00:23:28.880><c> what</c><00:23:29.180><c> we</c>

00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.039
But<00:23:30.400><c> you</c><00:23:30.619><c> don't</c><00:23:30.819><c> have</c><00:23:31.039><c> to</c><00:23:31.180><c> be</c><00:23:31.319><c> like</c><00:23:31.539><c> that,</c><00:23:31.940><c> Daniel.</c>

00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.759
You<00:23:32.680><c> can</c><00:23:33.039><c> actually</c><00:23:33.380><c> make</c><00:23:33.640><c> a</c><00:23:33.880><c> difference.</c>

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:37.640

00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:39.180
They've<00:23:38.480><c> gone.</c>

00:23:39.220 --> 00:23:41.180
And<00:23:39.460><c> it's</c><00:23:39.579><c> up</c><00:23:39.720><c> to</c><00:23:39.759><c> him</c><00:23:39.920><c> to</c><00:23:40.099><c> decide</c><00:23:40.319><c> whether</c><00:23:40.500><c> he</c><00:23:40.700><c> believed</c><00:23:40.980><c> it</c>

or<00:23:41.339><c> not.</c>

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:44.099
Now<00:23:42.519><c> Daniel,</c><00:23:42.900><c> from</c><00:23:43.079><c> his</c><00:23:43.299><c> point</c><00:23:43.519><c> of</c><00:23:43.660><c> view</c><00:23:43.740><c> now,</c>

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.660
He's<00:23:48.079><c> had</c><00:23:48.220><c> the</c><00:23:48.480><c> teachings.</c>

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:50.900
He<00:23:48.880><c> said,</c><00:23:48.920><c> look,</c><00:23:49.059><c> do</c><00:23:49.279><c> I</c><00:23:49.440><c> believe</c><00:23:49.680><c> it</c><00:23:49.859><c> or</c><00:23:49.980><c> not?</c>

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:55.240
And<00:23:51.940><c> I</c><00:23:52.059><c> think</c><00:23:52.220><c> obviously</c><00:23:52.660><c> he</c><00:23:53.420><c> resolved</c><00:23:53.920><c> himself</c><00:23:54.519><c> not</c><00:23:55.039><c> to</c>

defile<00:23:55.460><c> himself</c>

00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.099
because<00:23:55.940><c> he</c><00:23:56.440><c> believed</c><00:23:57.019><c> in</c><00:23:57.460><c> what</c><00:23:57.640><c> his</c><00:23:57.980><c> parents</c><00:23:58.299><c> had</c><00:23:58.660><c> told</c><00:23:58.980><c> him.</c>

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:04.240
And<00:24:00.700><c> he</c><00:24:01.000><c> didn't</c><00:24:01.700><c> go</c><00:24:02.119><c> in</c><00:24:02.480><c> for</c><00:24:02.740><c> the</c><00:24:03.000><c> kind</c><00:24:03.200><c> of</c><00:24:03.460><c> godless</c><00:24:04.000><c> life</c>

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.880
which<00:24:04.480><c> he</c><00:24:04.779><c> could</c><00:24:04.980><c> have</c><00:24:05.279><c> gone</c><00:24:05.480><c> in</c><00:24:05.819><c> for</c><00:24:06.140><c> in</c><00:24:06.599><c> Babylon</c>

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.079

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:11.380
In<00:24:09.519><c> many</c><00:24:09.779><c> ways,</c><00:24:10.059><c> it</c><00:24:10.160><c> reminds</c><00:24:10.480><c> me</c><00:24:10.599><c> of</c><00:24:10.700><c> what</c><00:24:10.759><c> Ezekiel</c><00:24:11.200><c> says,</c>

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:22.660

00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:27.140
Now<00:24:25.539><c> that's</c><00:24:25.819><c> not</c><00:24:26.019><c> easy.</c>

00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.440

The<00:25:15.180><c> world</c><00:25:15.339><c> as</c><00:25:15.539><c> we</c><00:25:15.619><c> know</c><00:25:15.779><c> is</c><00:25:16.019><c> not</c><00:25:16.279><c> going</c><00:25:16.480><c> to</c><00:25:16.619><c> stay</c><00:25:16.720><c> like</c><00:25:16.880><c> this</c><00:25:17.019><c> forever.</c>

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:19.460
And<00:25:18.380><c> all</c><00:25:18.579><c> sorts</c><00:25:18.819><c> of</c><00:25:18.960><c> things</c><00:25:19.079><c> can</c><00:25:19.299><c> happen.</c>

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:21.079
As<00:25:19.680><c> Michael</c><00:25:19.920><c> Jackson</c><00:25:20.220><c> said,</c>

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:23.539
the<00:25:21.599><c> idea</c><00:25:21.920><c> of</c><00:25:22.220><c> rocking</c><00:25:22.480><c> your</c><00:25:22.819><c> world,</c>

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.440
I<00:25:24.519><c> know</c><00:25:24.660><c> it</c><00:25:24.880><c> sounds</c><00:25:25.039><c> a</c><00:25:25.059><c> bit</c><00:25:25.200><c> funny</c><00:25:25.380><c> to</c><00:25:25.619><c> say</c><00:25:25.759><c> that,</c>

00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.200
but<00:25:29.759><c> Daniel's</c><00:25:30.319><c> world</c><00:25:30.500><c> was</c><00:25:30.759><c> rocked</c>

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:35.599
without<00:25:32.960><c> family,</c><00:25:34.640><c> without</c><00:25:34.900><c> his</c><00:25:35.180><c> culture,</c>

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.680
without<00:25:35.980><c> his</c><00:25:36.180><c> form</c><00:25:36.400><c> of</c><00:25:36.680><c> worship,</c>

00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:40.539
without<00:25:38.500><c> the</c><00:25:38.799><c> country,</c><00:25:39.279><c> without</c><00:25:39.519><c> the</c><00:25:39.740><c> nation,</c>

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:42.559
without<00:25:40.859><c> the</c><00:25:41.140><c> things</c><00:25:41.299><c> he'd</c><00:25:41.579><c> known</c><00:25:41.779><c> and</c><00:25:41.920><c> loved</c><00:25:42.039><c> around</c><00:25:42.319><c> him,</c>

00:25:42.859 --> 00:25:45.559
food,<00:25:43.420><c> everything</c><00:25:43.779><c> is</c><00:25:44.140><c> different.</c>

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:51.680
And<00:25:46.140><c> he</c><00:25:46.420><c> still</c><00:25:47.400><c> believed</c><00:25:48.460><c> and</c><00:25:49.480><c> lived</c><00:25:49.880><c> his</c><00:25:50.160><c> life</c><00:25:50.660><c> of</c><00:25:51.319><c> faith</c>

00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.779
as<00:25:52.220><c> though</c><00:25:52.400><c> it</c><00:25:52.579><c> really</c><00:25:53.200><c> mattered</c><00:25:53.519><c> to</c><00:25:53.720><c> him.</c>

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:58.039
He<00:25:53.940><c> didn't</c><00:25:54.140><c> give</c><00:25:54.420><c> in,</c><00:25:55.140><c> given</c><00:25:55.339><c> all</c><00:25:55.839><c> that</c><00:25:56.019><c> was</c><00:25:56.240><c> happening</c><00:25:56.559><c> around</c><00:25:57.160><c> him.</c>

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.599
Now<00:25:58.400><c> that's</c><00:25:58.700><c> important</c><00:25:58.980><c> from</c><00:25:59.299><c> a</c><00:25:59.579><c> parental</c><00:26:00.000><c> point</c><00:26:00.380><c> of</c><00:26:00.500><c> view</c>

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.079
to<00:26:00.779><c> teach</c><00:26:01.799><c> our</c><00:26:02.480><c> young</c><00:26:02.819><c> people,</c>

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:04.640
teach<00:26:03.339><c> your</c><00:26:03.680><c> young</c><00:26:03.900><c> people</c><00:26:04.160><c> that,</c>

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.079
look,<00:26:05.339><c> I</c><00:26:05.339><c> know</c><00:26:05.599><c> all</c><00:26:05.880><c> of</c><00:26:05.960><c> this</c><00:26:06.279><c> looks</c><00:26:06.720><c> great,</c>

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:09.940
but<00:26:07.759><c> underneath</c><00:26:08.200><c> it</c><00:26:08.440><c> is</c><00:26:08.680><c> deeply</c><00:26:09.420><c> corrupt</c>

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:12.279
and<00:26:10.140><c> God</c><00:26:10.339><c> is</c><00:26:10.519><c> not</c><00:26:10.759><c> going</c><00:26:10.940><c> to</c><00:26:11.059><c> allow</c><00:26:11.180><c> it</c><00:26:11.380><c> to</c><00:26:11.559><c> stand</c><00:26:11.740><c> forever.</c>

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:14.019
He<00:26:12.859><c> will</c><00:26:13.119><c> not.</c>

00:26:14.619 --> 00:26:16.599
And<00:26:14.799><c> to</c><00:26:14.980><c> teach</c><00:26:15.160><c> our</c><00:26:15.420><c> children</c><00:26:15.779><c> to</c><00:26:15.980><c> say,</c>

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.960
look,<00:26:16.720><c> whatever</c><00:26:17.079><c> happens,</c><00:26:18.640><c> remain</c><00:26:18.859><c> faithful</c><00:26:19.339><c> to</c><00:26:19.579><c> God.</c>

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:22.619
Because<00:26:20.660><c> anything</c><00:26:21.099><c> could</c><00:26:21.420><c> happen,</c><00:26:21.740><c> as</c><00:26:22.019><c> we</c><00:26:22.299><c> know.</c>

00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:26.880
And<00:26:23.259><c> it's</c><00:26:23.440><c> important</c><00:26:23.940><c> because</c><00:26:24.859><c> Daniel</c><00:26:25.279><c> is</c><00:26:25.920><c> however</c><00:26:26.279><c> old</c><00:26:26.660><c> he</c><00:26:26.720><c> is</c>

00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.559
and<00:26:27.019><c> he</c><00:26:27.240><c> still</c><00:26:27.559><c> kept</c><00:26:28.119><c> the</c><00:26:28.619><c> faith.</c>

00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:31.859
Okay,<00:26:30.759><c> Daniel's</c><00:26:31.079><c> point</c><00:26:31.259><c> of</c><00:26:31.380><c> view</c><00:26:31.480><c> now,</c>

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:35.019
he<00:26:32.460><c> saw</c><00:26:32.660><c> everything</c><00:26:33.220><c> collapse</c><00:26:33.779><c> around</c><00:26:34.220><c> him</c>

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:37.500
and<00:26:36.039><c> he</c><00:26:36.200><c> still</c><00:26:36.400><c> believed.</c>

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:39.460
Now<00:26:37.940><c> that's</c><00:26:38.380><c> important.</c>

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:41.720
Now<00:26:39.920><c> he</c><00:26:40.059><c> not</c><00:26:40.160><c> only</c><00:26:40.519><c> believed</c><00:26:40.740><c> for</c><00:26:41.019><c> a</c><00:26:41.180><c> short</c><00:26:41.440><c> while,</c>

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.359
if<00:26:41.859><c> you</c><00:26:41.940><c> look</c><00:26:42.059><c> at</c><00:26:42.200><c> verse</c><00:26:42.380><c> 21,</c>

00:26:48.099 --> 00:26:50.880
if<00:26:48.640><c> you</c><00:26:48.660><c> look</c><00:26:48.859><c> at</c><00:26:49.019><c> verse</c><00:26:49.240><c> 21,</c><00:26:50.259><c> it</c><00:26:50.420><c> says,</c>

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:56.940
and<00:26:51.400><c> Daniel</c><00:26:51.720><c> remained</c><00:26:52.240><c> there</c><00:26:53.400><c> until</c><00:26:55.039><c> the</c><00:26:56.000><c> first</c><00:26:56.480><c> year</c><00:26:56.720><c> of</c>

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.940
King<00:26:57.220><c> Cyrus.</c>

00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:00.039
Do<00:26:58.519><c> you</c><00:26:58.519><c> know</c><00:26:58.619><c> how</c><00:26:58.839><c> long</c><00:26:58.960><c> that</c><00:26:59.180><c> is?</c>

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.920
It's<00:27:04.400><c> 66</c><00:27:05.039><c> years</c><00:27:06.940><c> later,</c><00:27:07.859><c> roughly.</c>

00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:10.559
And<00:27:09.660><c> he</c><00:27:09.819><c> still</c><00:27:10.119><c> believed,</c>

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:12.700
not<00:27:10.980><c> only</c><00:27:11.180><c> when</c><00:27:11.359><c> he</c><00:27:11.400><c> was</c><00:27:11.539><c> a</c><00:27:11.720><c> young</c><00:27:12.039><c> teenager,</c>

00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.559
but<00:27:13.380><c> through</c><00:27:13.660><c> middle</c><00:27:14.019><c> age,</c>

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:16.279
through<00:27:15.140><c> whatever</c><00:27:15.539><c> happened,</c>

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:20.059
he's<00:27:16.880><c> probably</c><00:27:17.980><c> 70</c><00:27:18.420><c> plus</c><00:27:18.960><c> now,</c>

00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.319
and<00:27:20.440><c> he</c><00:27:20.880><c> still</c><00:27:21.220><c> remained</c><00:27:21.619><c> faithful</c><00:27:22.079><c> in</c><00:27:22.380><c> the</c><00:27:22.500><c> end.</c>

00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:26.720
He<00:27:23.579><c> still</c><00:27:24.259><c> remained</c><00:27:25.400><c> faithful</c><00:27:26.079><c> in</c><00:27:26.299><c> the</c><00:27:26.440><c> end.</c>

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:28.779
Now,<00:27:27.440><c> what</c><00:27:27.759><c> kept</c><00:27:28.079><c> up</c><00:27:28.200><c> his</c><00:27:28.500><c> faith?</c>

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:30.740
He<00:27:29.599><c> knows</c><00:27:29.900><c> that</c><00:27:30.180><c> there</c><00:27:30.380><c> is,</c>

00:27:30.940 --> 00:27:33.740
he<00:27:31.259><c> gets</c><00:27:31.539><c> a</c><00:27:31.779><c> letter</c><00:27:31.980><c> actually</c><00:27:32.380><c> from</c><00:27:32.640><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:27:34.900 --> 00:27:35.920
Possibly.

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.660
Certainly<00:27:36.319><c> he</c><00:27:36.480><c> knows</c><00:27:36.700><c> that</c><00:27:36.980><c> in</c><00:27:37.299><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.059
as<00:27:37.859><c> I</c><00:27:38.019><c> said</c><00:27:38.200><c> before,</c><00:27:38.680><c> in</c><00:27:38.740><c> Jeremiah</c><00:27:39.099><c> 25,</c>

00:27:40.339 --> 00:27:41.779
he<00:27:40.480><c> knows</c><00:27:40.680><c> there's</c><00:27:40.859><c> going</c><00:27:40.980><c> to</c><00:27:41.059><c> be</c><00:27:41.180><c> a</c><00:27:41.359><c> captivity,</c>

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:42.920
but<00:27:42.000><c> he</c><00:27:42.140><c> gets</c><00:27:42.359><c> a</c><00:27:42.539><c> letter.</c>

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:45.700
Look<00:27:43.599><c> at</c><00:27:43.720><c> Jeremiah</c><00:27:44.140><c> chapter</c><00:27:44.460><c> 29.</c>

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:10.819
Jeremiah<00:28:06.180><c> 29,</c><00:28:07.640><c> verse</c><00:28:08.420><c> 3.</c>

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:13.039
He<00:28:11.039><c> entrusted</c><00:28:11.480><c> the</c><00:28:11.759><c> letter</c><00:28:12.059><c> to</c><00:28:12.660><c> El</c><00:28:12.880><c>-Saff,</c>

Look<00:30:33.640><c> what's</c><00:30:34.039><c> happened</c><00:30:34.220><c> to</c><00:30:34.500><c> us</c>

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:38.200
and<00:30:35.460><c> it's</c><00:30:35.660><c> all</c><00:30:35.839><c> because</c><00:30:36.259><c> of</c><00:30:36.480><c> the</c><00:30:36.819><c> sinfulness</c>

00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:40.140
around<00:30:39.119><c> us.</c>

00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.380
Now,<00:30:41.460><c> think</c><00:30:41.740><c> about</c><00:30:42.119><c> that.</c>

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:45.319
Daniel,<00:30:44.599><c> as</c><00:30:44.900><c> we</c><00:30:45.079><c> know</c>

00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:46.960
sometimes,<00:30:46.099><c> falls</c><00:30:46.279><c> into</c><00:30:46.519><c> the</c><00:30:46.680><c> category</c>

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:48.779
of<00:30:47.059><c> one</c><00:30:47.200><c> of</c><00:30:47.279><c> those</c><00:30:47.480><c> people</c><00:30:47.720><c> who</c><00:30:47.880><c> the</c><00:30:47.980><c> Bible</c><00:30:48.279><c> never</c><00:30:48.640><c> says</c>

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:50.160
anything<00:30:49.019><c> bad</c><00:30:49.240><c> about.</c>

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:53.019
You<00:30:50.960><c> never</c><00:30:51.160><c> read</c><00:30:51.359><c> about</c><00:30:51.619><c> Daniel</c><00:30:52.059><c> doing</c><00:30:52.400><c> something</c><00:30:52.779><c> wrong,</c>

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:54.640
obviously<00:30:53.359><c> he</c><00:30:53.519><c> did,</c><00:30:53.839><c> because</c><00:30:54.079><c> he's</c><00:30:54.380><c> dead,</c>

00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:56.140
he's<00:30:54.940><c> fallen</c><00:30:55.119><c> asleep.</c>

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:58.519
But<00:30:56.519><c> it's</c><00:30:57.059><c> never</c><00:30:57.319><c> recorded</c><00:30:57.839><c> in</c><00:30:58.140><c> scripture.</c>

00:30:58.619 --> 00:31:01.299
Now<00:30:58.819><c> that</c><00:30:59.000><c> should</c><00:30:59.200><c> remind</c><00:30:59.480><c> us</c><00:30:59.680><c> of</c><00:30:59.779><c> somebody</c><00:31:00.140><c> else</c>

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.960
Who<00:31:06.099><c> then?</c>

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:08.200
Can't<00:31:07.480><c> hear.</c>

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:10.539

Job,<00:31:11.059><c> yes.</c><00:31:12.259><c> Say</c><00:31:12.380><c> again?</c>

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:15.079
Can't<00:31:13.460><c> hear.</c><00:31:13.680><c> Well,</c><00:31:13.980><c> obviously</c><00:31:14.279><c> Jesus,</c><00:31:14.839><c> yes.</c>

00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:16.500
But<00:31:15.819><c> Joseph!</c>

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:19.140
Do<00:31:16.880><c> you</c><00:31:17.940><c> remember?</c>

Never<00:31:19.640><c> says</c><00:31:19.759><c> anything</c><00:31:19.920><c> bad</c><00:31:20.140><c> about</c><00:31:20.440><c> him.</c>

00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:23.480
Alright?<00:31:22.200><c> Continues.</c>

00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:25.079
But<00:31:23.740><c> also,</c>

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:26.730
Joseph's

Daniel's.

00:31:31.539 --> 00:31:32.319
Suffering

00:31:47.109 --> 00:31:48.890
Same<00:31:47.369><c> idea,</c><00:31:47.829><c> suffering</c><00:31:48.349><c> for</c><00:31:48.609><c> many</c>

00:31:53.609 --> 00:31:55.069
Okay,<00:31:54.130><c> similar.</c>

Now,<00:31:56.329><c> for</c><00:31:56.470><c> us</c>

Now,<00:32:52.250><c> for</c><00:32:52.390><c> all</c>

And<00:32:59.829><c> sometimes</c>

00:33:00.410 --> 00:33:02.369
