00:00:17.379 --> 00:00:19.859
but<00:00:17.519><c> he's</c><00:00:17.699><c> obviously</c><00:00:18.039><c> not</c><00:00:18.420><c> there</c><00:00:18.699><c> when</c><00:00:18.859><c> this</c><00:00:19.160><c> incident</c><00:00:19.420><c> happened.</c>

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.199
But<00:00:20.539><c> in</c><00:00:20.780><c> Daniel's</c><00:00:21.260><c> absence,</c>

00:00:28.899 --> 00:00:29.519
upon<00:00:29.160><c> him.</c>

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.780
Wonderful<00:00:30.420><c> people.</c>

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.840
We<00:00:32.500><c> need,</c><00:00:32.920><c> however,</c><00:00:33.240><c> brothers</c><00:00:33.439><c> and</c><00:00:33.679><c> sisters,</c><00:00:34.000><c> to</c><00:00:34.280><c> retrace</c><00:00:34.640><c> our</c><00:00:34.859><c> steps</c><00:00:35.200><c> a</c><00:00:35.380><c> bit</c>

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.200
just<00:00:36.399><c> to</c><00:00:36.579><c> get</c><00:00:36.740><c> the</c><00:00:36.979><c> context</c><00:00:37.399><c> of</c><00:00:37.579><c> this</c><00:00:37.799><c> third</c><00:00:38.060><c> chapter</c><00:00:38.380><c> and</c><00:00:38.479><c> what</c><00:00:38.619><c> it's</c><00:00:38.759><c> really</c><00:00:39.039><c> all</c><00:00:39.240><c> about.</c>

00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:44.880
So<00:00:41.619><c> think</c><00:00:42.039><c> about</c><00:00:42.539><c> the</c><00:00:42.759><c> year,</c><00:00:43.979><c> or</c><00:00:44.100><c> the</c><00:00:44.259><c> couple</c><00:00:44.439><c> of</c><00:00:44.679><c> years,</c>

The<00:00:49.859><c> year</c><00:00:50.079><c> before</c><00:00:50.420><c> he</c><00:00:50.579><c> became</c><00:00:50.880><c> the</c><00:00:51.079><c> king</c><00:00:51.179><c> of</c><00:00:51.399><c> Babylon,</c>

00:00:54.859 --> 00:00:57.060
His<00:00:54.979><c> father,</c><00:00:55.340><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:00:56.100><c> was</c><00:00:56.280><c> on</c><00:00:56.520><c> the</c><00:00:56.740><c> throne</c>

that<00:09:29.460><c> you</c><00:09:29.639><c> might</c><00:09:29.919><c> know</c><00:09:30.720><c> the</c><00:09:31.320><c> thoughts</c><00:09:31.539><c> of</c><00:09:31.700><c> your</c><00:09:31.899><c> own</c><00:09:32.100><c> heart.</c>

00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.659
Now,<00:09:33.980><c> you</c><00:09:34.159><c> think</c><00:09:34.360><c> about</c><00:09:34.600><c> that.</c>

00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:40.279
The<00:09:37.360><c> king,</c><00:09:37.820><c> the</c><00:09:38.039><c> thoughts</c><00:09:38.320><c> came</c><00:09:38.600><c> into</c><00:09:38.799><c> his</c><00:09:39.120><c> head</c><00:09:39.440><c> on</c><00:09:39.799><c> his</c><00:09:40.059><c> bed</c>

00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:41.500
and<00:09:40.659><c> he</c><00:09:40.860><c> dreamt</c><00:09:41.059><c> of</c><00:09:41.159><c> that</c><00:09:41.299><c> image</c>

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:44.139
because<00:09:41.659><c> that</c><00:09:41.919><c> was</c><00:09:42.200><c> dominating</c><00:09:42.580><c> his</c><00:09:42.940><c> mind,</c><00:09:43.159><c> you</c><00:09:43.379><c> see.</c>

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.080
And<00:09:44.899><c> whatever</c><00:09:45.159><c> was</c><00:09:45.500><c> dominating</c><00:09:45.919><c> anyone's</c><00:09:46.759><c> mind,</c>

00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.700
you<00:09:47.340><c> see,</c><00:09:47.519><c> it</c><00:09:47.679><c> rose</c><00:09:47.919><c> up</c><00:09:48.120><c> in</c><00:09:48.259><c> his</c><00:09:48.500><c> dream.</c>

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:50.240
That's<00:09:49.139><c> how</c><00:09:49.320><c> he</c><00:09:49.500><c> saw</c><00:09:49.759><c> himself.</c>

00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:54.059
Great<00:09:50.919><c> and</c><00:09:51.259><c> marvelous,</c><00:09:51.559><c> awesome</c><00:09:52.220><c> in</c><00:09:52.519><c> the</c><00:09:52.720><c> sight</c><00:09:52.860><c> of</c><00:09:53.019><c> other</c><00:09:53.200><c> men.</c>

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.460
And<00:09:54.799><c> so</c><00:09:54.940><c> God</c><00:09:55.120><c> gave</c><00:09:55.360><c> him</c><00:09:55.559><c> this</c><00:09:55.919><c> image,</c><00:09:56.279><c> not</c><00:09:56.559><c> of</c><00:09:56.779><c> an</c><00:09:56.960><c> image</c><00:09:57.179><c> all</c>

00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.960
but<00:09:59.879><c> an</c><00:10:00.080><c> image</c><00:10:01.059><c> that</c><00:10:01.500><c> retrogressed</c><00:10:02.320><c> from</c><00:10:02.539><c> gold</c><00:10:02.820><c> to</c><00:10:03.120><c> clay.</c>

00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:07.419
And<00:10:05.740><c> he</c><00:10:05.820><c> says,</c><00:10:06.000><c> I've</c><00:10:06.320><c> given</c><00:10:06.480><c> you</c><00:10:06.659><c> that</c><00:10:06.860><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c>

00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:12.259
for<00:10:07.659><c> you</c><00:10:08.200><c> to</c><00:10:08.759><c> probe</c><00:10:09.059><c> the</c><00:10:09.360><c> depths</c><00:10:09.840><c> of</c><00:10:10.820><c> your</c><00:10:11.059><c> own</c><00:10:11.340><c> heart.</c>

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:14.279
Now,<00:10:12.659><c> you</c><00:10:12.899><c> think</c><00:10:13.120><c> about</c><00:10:13.379><c> that.</c>

00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:19.080
He's<00:10:14.879><c> a</c><00:10:15.059><c> heathen</c><00:10:15.419><c> king,</c><00:10:16.879><c> but</c><00:10:17.080><c> Yahweh</c><00:10:17.360><c> cared</c><00:10:17.740><c> for</c><00:10:17.919><c> him</c><00:10:18.179><c> somehow.</c>

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:22.759
I<00:10:19.779><c> want</c><00:10:19.940><c> you</c><00:10:20.139><c> to</c><00:10:20.419><c> probe</c><00:10:20.659><c> the</c><00:10:20.919><c> depths</c><00:10:21.159><c> of</c><00:10:21.340><c> your</c><00:10:21.519><c> own</c><00:10:21.759><c> heart.</c>

00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:25.279
And<00:10:23.620><c> he</c><00:10:23.720><c> must</c><00:10:23.940><c> have</c><00:10:24.080><c> done</c><00:10:24.259><c> that</c><00:10:24.519><c> because,</c><00:10:25.000><c> you</c><00:10:25.000><c> see,</c>

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:26.340
at<00:10:25.620><c> the</c><00:10:25.639><c> end</c><00:10:25.779><c> of</c><00:10:25.879><c> that</c><00:10:26.080><c> chapter,</c>

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:28.179
he's<00:10:26.600><c> full</c><00:10:26.799><c> of</c><00:10:27.080><c> praise</c><00:10:27.320><c> for</c><00:10:27.500><c> the</c><00:10:27.620><c> God</c><00:10:27.759><c> of</c><00:10:27.899><c> Israel.</c>

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.580
But<00:10:28.779><c> pride</c><00:10:28.980><c> is</c><00:10:29.159><c> a</c><00:10:29.299><c> dreadful</c><00:10:29.639><c> thing,</c><00:10:29.960><c> brethren</c><00:10:30.179><c> and</c><00:10:30.419><c> sisters.</c>

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:32.200
It's<00:10:30.860><c> an</c><00:10:31.059><c> awful</c><00:10:31.259><c> thing.</c>

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.779
Pride<00:10:32.620><c> will</c><00:10:32.919><c> overcome</c><00:10:33.220><c> all</c><00:10:33.480><c> logic</c><00:10:33.759><c> and</c><00:10:34.059><c> reason.</c>

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:35.980
Pride<00:10:35.399><c> is</c><00:10:35.740><c> blind.</c>

00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.759
It<00:10:36.519><c> blinds</c><00:10:36.919><c> you</c><00:10:37.019><c> to</c><00:10:37.220><c> all</c><00:10:37.440><c> logic</c><00:10:37.720><c> and</c><00:10:38.019><c> reason.</c>

00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:42.600
And<00:10:40.259><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:10:40.700><c> was</c><00:10:41.080><c> eaten</c><00:10:41.340><c> out</c><00:10:41.659><c> afterwards</c><00:10:42.019><c> with</c><00:10:42.220><c> this</c><00:10:42.440><c> image</c>

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:43.580
and<00:10:42.700><c> he</c><00:10:42.879><c> couldn't</c><00:10:43.039><c> get</c><00:10:43.220><c> over</c><00:10:43.440><c> it</c>

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:45.539
because<00:10:43.879><c> he</c><00:10:44.519><c> would</c><00:10:44.580><c> have</c><00:10:44.779><c> kept</c><00:10:44.879><c> thinking</c><00:10:45.080><c> to</c><00:10:45.240><c> himself</c>

00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:48.379
when<00:10:45.759><c> Daniel</c><00:10:46.100><c> said</c><00:10:47.220><c> to</c><00:10:47.340><c> him,</c>

00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:51.379
Thou<00:10:49.179><c> art</c><00:10:49.659><c> this</c><00:10:49.940><c> head</c><00:10:50.100><c> of</c><00:10:50.440><c> gold.</c>

00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:54.919
His<00:10:51.960><c> pride,</c><00:10:52.399><c> his</c><00:10:52.659><c> ego</c><00:10:52.960><c> would</c><00:10:53.279><c> have</c><00:10:53.580><c> swelled</c><00:10:53.919><c> immensely.</c>

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:57.000
But<00:10:55.299><c> then</c><00:10:55.440><c> the</c><00:10:55.639><c> message</c><00:10:55.860><c> come,</c>

00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:02.320

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:05.059
Now,<00:11:03.820><c> you</c><00:11:03.919><c> see,</c><00:11:04.179><c> it's</c><00:11:04.240><c> one</c><00:11:04.519><c> thing</c><00:11:04.679><c> to</c><00:11:04.879><c> say,</c>

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.220
oh,<00:11:05.379><c> well,</c><00:11:05.700><c> okay,</c><00:11:06.360><c> I'm</c><00:11:06.539><c> the</c><00:11:06.799><c> greatest</c>

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:12.240
But<00:11:11.080><c> you</c><00:11:11.220><c> see,</c><00:11:11.580><c> brothers</c><00:11:11.700><c> and</c><00:11:11.960><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:16.840
the<00:11:12.559><c> inference</c><00:11:12.799><c> was</c><00:11:13.539><c> that</c><00:11:14.759><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:11:15.220><c> would</c><00:11:15.399><c> be</c><00:11:15.679><c> overcome</c>

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:19.120
He<00:11:18.820><c> would.</c>

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.879
He<00:11:19.340><c> would</c><00:11:19.559><c> be</c><00:11:19.799><c> deposed</c><00:11:20.179><c> by</c><00:11:20.440><c> a</c><00:11:20.600><c> kingdom</c><00:11:20.840><c> inferior</c><00:11:21.399><c> to</c><00:11:21.539><c> him</c>

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.220
and<00:11:22.240><c> it</c><00:11:22.299><c> would</c><00:11:22.500><c> eat</c><00:11:22.600><c> him</c><00:11:22.820><c> out.</c>

00:11:23.299 --> 00:11:26.360
It<00:11:23.419><c> would</c><00:11:23.600><c> eat</c><00:11:23.700><c> him</c><00:11:23.879><c> out</c><00:11:24.360><c> until</c><00:11:24.580><c> he</c><00:11:24.639><c> couldn't</c><00:11:24.860><c> stand</c><00:11:25.100><c> anymore.</c>

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:28.960
Darn<00:11:27.639><c> it,</c><00:11:27.759><c> he</c><00:11:27.860><c> said,</c><00:11:28.139><c> God</c><00:11:28.379><c> will</c><00:11:28.679><c> not.</c>

00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:33.740
God<00:11:32.259><c> will</c><00:11:32.500><c> not</c><00:11:32.720><c> rule</c><00:11:32.879><c> the</c><00:11:33.080><c> kingdoms</c><00:11:33.340><c> of</c><00:11:33.620><c> men.</c>

00:11:34.059 --> 00:11:34.820
And<00:11:34.159><c> he</c><00:11:34.240><c> got</c><00:11:34.360><c> his</c><00:11:34.559><c> men,</c><00:11:34.679><c> he</c><00:11:34.720><c> said,</c>

00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:49.340
Can<00:11:46.840><c> God</c><00:11:47.259><c> fulfill</c><00:11:47.799><c> his</c><00:11:48.059><c> prophetic</c><00:11:48.440><c> word</c><00:11:48.740><c> or</c><00:11:48.899><c> can't</c><00:11:49.240><c> he?</c>

00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.240
Nebuchadnezzar<00:11:49.740><c> said,</c><00:11:50.000><c> he</c><00:11:50.139><c> won't</c><00:11:50.559><c> do</c><00:11:50.840><c> it.</c>

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.820
He<00:11:51.580><c> will</c><00:11:51.940><c> not</c><00:11:52.240><c> change</c><00:11:52.679><c> my</c><00:11:52.960><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.840

00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.759
And<00:11:57.980><c> so</c><00:11:58.100><c> the</c><00:11:58.279><c> image</c><00:11:58.440><c> was</c><00:11:58.720><c> set</c><00:11:58.940><c> up,</c><00:12:00.179><c> all</c><00:12:00.519><c> of</c><00:12:00.820><c> gold.</c>

00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:05.200
It<00:12:03.340><c> won't</c><00:12:03.600><c> be</c><00:12:03.799><c> a</c><00:12:03.960><c> silver</c><00:12:04.200><c> kingdom.</c>

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.159
Are<00:12:20.240><c> you</c><00:12:20.299><c> going</c><00:12:20.440><c> to</c><00:12:20.600><c> find</c><00:12:20.820><c> out</c><00:12:20.960><c> who</c><00:12:21.100><c> he</c><00:12:21.220><c> is?</c>

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.799
And<00:12:22.639><c> you</c><00:12:22.740><c> see,</c><00:12:23.299><c> the</c><00:12:23.399><c> stand</c><00:12:23.779><c> that</c><00:12:23.980><c> those</c><00:12:24.259><c> three</c><00:12:24.480><c> friends</c><00:12:24.820><c> took</c>

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:35.559

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.519
Because<00:12:39.519><c> they</c><00:12:39.820><c> believed</c><00:12:40.139><c> that</c><00:12:40.419><c> God</c><00:12:40.700><c> was</c><00:12:41.639><c> faithful</c><00:12:42.299><c> to</c><00:12:42.659><c> his</c><00:12:42.940><c> prophecies</c>

00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.940
And<00:12:48.200><c> they</c><00:12:48.559><c> stood</c><00:12:48.759><c> opposed</c><00:12:49.179><c> to</c><00:12:49.379><c> the</c><00:12:49.500><c> king's</c><00:12:49.799><c> point</c><00:12:49.940><c> of</c><00:12:50.100><c> view.</c>

00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:54.340
And<00:12:51.779><c> we're</c><00:12:51.919><c> going</c><00:12:51.980><c> to</c><00:12:52.100><c> make</c><00:12:52.220><c> this</c><00:12:52.419><c> image</c><00:12:52.620><c> of</c><00:12:52.820><c> gold</c><00:12:53.120><c> in</c><00:12:53.340><c> chapter</c><00:12:53.580><c> three.</c>

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:57.940
And<00:12:56.120><c> you'll</c><00:12:56.340><c> notice,</c><00:12:56.799><c> brethren</c><00:12:56.799><c> and</c><00:12:57.039><c> sisters,</c>

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.539
that<00:12:58.879><c> this</c><00:12:59.080><c> image,</c><00:12:59.779><c> the</c><00:12:59.899><c> number</c><00:13:00.220><c> six,</c><00:13:00.679><c> becomes</c><00:13:01.019><c> a</c><00:13:01.320><c> prominent</c>

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:03.960
Why?

00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:07.299
Its<00:13:04.220><c> height</c><00:13:04.940><c> was</c><00:13:05.879><c> 60</c><00:13:06.440><c> cubits.</c>

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.879
Three<00:13:09.259><c> square</c><00:13:09.559><c> cubits,</c><00:13:10.139><c> 60</c><00:13:10.679><c> cubits.</c>

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.679
The<00:13:12.480><c> breadth</c><00:13:12.720><c> of</c><00:13:12.879><c> it</c><00:13:13.000><c> was</c><00:13:13.379><c> six</c><00:13:13.820><c> cubits.</c>

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:21.460
And<00:13:16.379><c> it</c><00:13:16.580><c> was</c><00:13:16.740><c> to</c><00:13:16.960><c> be</c><00:13:17.159><c> proclaimed</c><00:13:17.740><c> in</c><00:13:18.000><c> verse</c><00:13:18.299><c> five</c><00:13:18.620><c> with</c><00:13:19.480><c> six</c><00:13:20.200><c> instruments.</c>

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:30.059
So<00:13:23.200><c> six,</c><00:13:24.519><c> six,</c><00:13:26.659><c> six</c><00:13:27.379><c> became</c><00:13:28.440><c> the</c><00:13:28.720><c> brand</c><00:13:28.879><c> of</c><00:13:29.039><c> that</c><00:13:29.200><c> image.</c>

It<00:13:31.100><c> was</c><00:13:31.320><c> all</c><00:13:31.679><c> flesh.</c>

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:34.419
And<00:13:33.019><c> we</c><00:13:33.100><c> know</c><00:13:33.240><c> where</c><00:13:33.379><c> this</c><00:13:33.580><c> is</c><00:13:33.740><c> taken,</c><00:13:34.200><c> don't</c><00:13:34.200><c> we?</c>

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.539
We<00:13:34.720><c> will</c><00:13:34.879><c> see</c><00:13:35.019><c> in</c><00:13:35.139><c> a</c><00:13:35.220><c> minute</c><00:13:35.480><c> how</c><00:13:35.659><c> this</c><00:13:35.840><c> is</c><00:13:36.039><c> taken</c><00:13:36.200><c> straight</c>

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:41.039
Because<00:13:39.259><c> it's</c><00:13:39.559><c> Babylon</c><00:13:39.759><c> the</c><00:13:40.039><c> Great</c><00:13:40.159><c> out</c><00:13:40.460><c> there.</c>

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:54.460
And<00:13:51.460><c> they</c><00:13:51.659><c> challenge</c><00:13:51.960><c> God</c><00:13:52.159><c> every</c><00:13:52.379><c> day</c><00:13:52.480><c> of</c><00:13:52.600><c> their</c><00:13:52.759><c> life,</c><00:13:53.360><c> don't</c><00:13:53.500><c> they?</c>

00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.600
And<00:13:57.759><c> he</c><00:13:58.059><c> set</c><00:13:58.200><c> it</c><00:13:58.379><c> up.</c>

00:13:58.779 --> 00:14:00.259
Do<00:13:58.919><c> you</c><00:13:58.980><c> know</c><00:13:59.120><c> how</c><00:13:59.259><c> many</c><00:13:59.460><c> times</c><00:13:59.639><c> that</c><00:13:59.779><c> is</c><00:14:00.000><c> said?</c>

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:02.419
That's<00:14:00.980><c> said</c><00:14:01.120><c> eight</c><00:14:01.340><c> times.</c>

00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:06.799

00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:08.299
The<00:14:07.259><c> king</c><00:14:07.460><c> set</c><00:14:07.700><c> it</c><00:14:07.879><c> up.</c>

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.700
Nebuchadnezzar<00:14:09.080><c> set</c><00:14:09.320><c> it</c><00:14:09.480><c> up.</c>

00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:11.259
Eight<00:14:10.159><c> times.</c>

In<00:14:12.500><c> other</c><00:14:12.679><c> words,</c><00:14:13.039><c> brothers</c><00:14:13.120><c> and</c><00:14:13.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:16.019
it's<00:14:14.299><c> not</c><00:14:14.440><c> only</c><00:14:14.600><c> that</c><00:14:14.759><c> God's</c><00:14:15.220><c> prophecy</c><00:14:15.399><c> is</c><00:14:15.659><c> challenged,</c>

00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.700

00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.480

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:16.799
Yahweh<00:15:15.279><c> will</c><00:15:15.679><c> not</c><00:15:15.940><c> bring</c><00:15:16.159><c> it</c><00:15:16.340><c> to</c><00:15:16.440><c> an</c><00:15:16.580><c> end.</c>

00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:18.500
The<00:15:18.220><c> circle.</c>

That's<00:15:20.879><c> what</c><00:15:20.980><c> he</c><00:15:21.120><c> did.</c>

00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.940
Imagine<00:16:30.120><c> the</c><00:16:30.559><c> organization</c><00:16:31.279><c> necessary</c><00:16:31.820><c> for</c><00:16:32.100><c> this.</c>

Not<00:16:33.820><c> only</c><00:16:34.100><c> that,</c><00:16:34.840><c> but</c><00:16:34.960><c> letters</c><00:16:35.120><c> are</c><00:16:35.340><c> sent</c><00:16:35.519><c> out,</c>

So<00:16:41.340><c> letters</c><00:16:41.580><c> would</c><00:16:41.799><c> be</c><00:16:41.940><c> sent</c><00:16:42.120><c> out</c><00:16:42.320><c> by</c><00:16:42.500><c> the</c><00:16:42.700><c> posts,</c>

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:20.220
our<00:29:17.000><c> God</c><00:29:17.420><c> is</c><00:29:18.220><c> a</c><00:29:18.339><c> consuming</c><00:29:18.839><c> fire.</c>

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:23.500
Now<00:29:21.099><c> you</c><00:29:21.119><c> can</c><00:29:21.319><c> be</c><00:29:21.559><c> thrown</c><00:29:21.740><c> into</c><00:29:21.960><c> Nebuchadnezzar's</c><00:29:22.720><c> furnace,</c>

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:25.160
and<00:29:24.200><c> even</c><00:29:24.400><c> if</c><00:29:24.539><c> it</c><00:29:24.559><c> was</c><00:29:24.720><c> successful,</c>

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:27.339
and<00:29:25.380><c> those</c><00:29:25.579><c> men</c><00:29:25.720><c> were</c><00:29:25.880><c> reduced</c><00:29:26.279><c> to</c><00:29:26.559><c> ashes,</c>

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.640
so<00:29:27.799><c> what?</c>

00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:31.180
God<00:29:30.039><c> is</c><00:29:30.259><c> able</c><00:29:30.440><c> of</c><00:29:30.579><c> those</c><00:29:30.880><c> ashes</c>

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:33.500

00:29:34.700 --> 00:29:35.799
But<00:29:34.839><c> he</c><00:29:35.099><c> who</c><00:29:35.140><c> gets</c><00:29:35.440><c> thrown</c>

00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:37.279
in<00:29:35.980><c> front</c><00:29:36.160><c> of</c><00:29:36.359><c> the</c><00:29:36.440><c> consuming</c><00:29:36.900><c> fire</c>

00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.579
of<00:29:37.420><c> Yahweh,</c><00:29:37.940><c> brothers</c><00:29:38.119><c> and</c><00:29:38.319><c> sisters,</c>

00:29:38.619 --> 00:29:40.240
will<00:29:38.799><c> be</c><00:29:39.059><c> obliterated.</c>

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:42.359
Now<00:29:40.819><c> there</c><00:29:40.980><c> was</c><00:29:41.200><c> the</c><00:29:41.359><c> contrast</c><00:29:41.740><c> they</c><00:29:42.019><c> had.</c>

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:44.140
That<00:29:42.940><c> was</c><00:29:43.140><c> the</c><00:29:43.259><c> choice.</c>

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.799
It<00:29:44.660><c> was</c><00:29:44.920><c> clear.</c>

00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:47.779
The<00:29:46.140><c> issues</c><00:29:46.359><c> were</c><00:29:46.579><c> not</c><00:29:46.839><c> cloudy.</c>

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:50.220
They<00:29:49.500><c> were</c><00:29:49.660><c> not</c><00:29:49.799><c> cloudy.</c>

00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:52.180
They<00:29:50.460><c> were</c><00:29:50.640><c> black</c><00:29:50.859><c> and</c><00:29:51.079><c> white</c><00:29:51.220><c> issues.</c>

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.160
And<00:29:52.680><c> those</c><00:29:52.960><c> men</c><00:29:53.220><c> knew</c><00:29:53.400><c> it.</c>

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:58.099
And<00:29:55.140><c> so</c><00:29:55.259><c> the</c><00:29:55.380><c> music</c><00:29:55.640><c> sounded</c><00:29:56.019><c> in</c><00:29:56.259><c> Daniel</c><00:29:56.519><c> chapter</c><00:29:56.839><c> 3.</c>

00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:00.900
And<00:29:59.519><c> the</c><00:29:59.660><c> people</c><00:29:59.880><c> heard</c><00:30:00.140><c> it,</c>

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:03.460
and<00:30:01.900><c> they</c><00:30:02.119><c> fell</c><00:30:02.259><c> down</c><00:30:02.619><c> flat.</c>

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:05.119
You<00:30:04.160><c> know,</c><00:30:04.319><c> you</c><00:30:04.400><c> don't</c><00:30:04.599><c> have</c><00:30:04.859><c> to</c><00:30:05.000><c> have</c>

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:07.059

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:08.299
You<00:30:07.400><c> see</c><00:30:07.400><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c>

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:10.660

00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:12.339
Vast<00:30:11.180><c> plain.</c>

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:14.259
Tree<00:30:12.880><c> was</c><00:30:13.019><c> perhaps</c><00:30:13.440><c> nothing</c><00:30:13.900><c> there.</c>

00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:16.000
Just<00:30:14.680><c> absolutely</c><00:30:15.160><c> flat.</c>

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:16.779
And<00:30:16.299><c> this</c><00:30:16.519><c> image,</c>

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:18.019

00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:20.660
would<00:30:18.240><c> be</c><00:30:18.440><c> something</c><00:30:18.700><c> like</c><00:30:19.160><c> 90</c><00:30:19.680><c> feet</c><00:30:20.099><c> high.</c>

00:30:20.660 --> 00:30:22.500
Just<00:30:21.319><c> imagine</c><00:30:21.680><c> it.</c>

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.339
It's<00:30:23.079><c> surrounded</c><00:30:23.480><c> by</c><00:30:24.079><c> international</c><00:30:24.759><c> visitors</c>

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:30.519
There<00:30:29.339><c> would</c><00:30:29.500><c> be</c><00:30:29.640><c> the</c><00:30:29.759><c> best</c><00:30:30.079><c> orchestra</c>

when<00:30:40.559><c> everybody</c><00:30:41.039><c> would</c><00:30:41.339><c> fall</c><00:30:41.660><c> flat,</c>

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:44.799
there'd<00:30:42.319><c> be</c><00:30:42.440><c> three</c><00:30:42.759><c> men</c><00:30:43.240><c> standing</c><00:30:43.839><c> up,</c>

00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.920
They'd<00:30:47.759><c> stand</c><00:30:47.940><c> out</c><00:30:48.259><c> like</c><00:30:48.720><c> lighthouses</c>

And<00:31:07.000><c> with</c><00:31:07.740><c> courage</c><00:31:08.059><c> and</c><00:31:08.279><c> with</c><00:31:08.480><c> faith,</c>

Ah,<00:34:22.119><c> it's</c><00:34:22.280><c> the</c><00:34:22.440><c> Chaldeans.</c>

It's<00:35:01.440><c> really</c><00:35:01.719><c> the</c><00:35:02.000><c> Aramaic,</c>

00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:10.940
It's<00:35:09.880><c> not</c><00:35:10.019><c> hard</c><00:35:10.280><c> to</c><00:35:10.460><c> find</c><00:35:10.619><c> the</c><00:35:10.760><c> meaning.</c>

The<00:35:22.760><c> Chaldeans</c><00:35:23.280><c> came</c><00:35:23.659><c> and</c><00:35:24.079><c> chewed</c><00:35:24.340><c> them</c><00:35:24.460><c> to</c><00:35:24.659><c> bits.</c>

00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.599
You<00:35:27.119><c> know,</c><00:35:27.360><c> David</c><00:35:27.739><c> speaks</c><00:35:28.159><c> of</c><00:35:28.760><c> men</c><00:35:28.980><c> in</c><00:35:29.179><c> his</c><00:35:29.440><c> day</c>

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:33.300

They<00:35:33.699><c> chewed</c><00:35:34.039><c> him</c><00:35:34.139><c> to</c><00:35:34.280><c> bits</c><00:35:34.420><c> with</c><00:35:34.679><c> slander.</c>

00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.659
And<00:35:36.260><c> so</c><00:35:36.360><c> these</c><00:35:36.599><c> Chaldeans</c><00:35:37.079><c> would</c><00:35:37.260><c> come</c><00:35:37.460><c> along</c>

00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:39.199

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:40.820
And<00:35:39.599><c> they</c><00:35:39.760><c> come</c><00:35:39.940><c> to</c><00:35:40.119><c> the</c><00:35:40.280><c> king</c><00:35:40.360><c> and</c><00:35:40.519><c> they</c><00:35:40.679><c> said,</c>

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:44.480
King,<00:35:42.639><c> didn't</c><00:35:42.920><c> you</c><00:35:43.139><c> make</c><00:35:43.340><c> a</c><00:35:43.500><c> decree</c>

00:35:48.780 --> 00:35:50.320
Yeah,<00:35:49.280><c> you</c><00:35:49.440><c> did.</c>

00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:53.519
Well,<00:35:51.119><c> they</c><00:35:51.360><c> say,</c><00:35:51.559><c> you</c><00:35:51.699><c> know,</c><00:35:52.659><c> in</c><00:35:52.820><c> verse</c><00:35:53.019><c> 12,</c>

00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:55.739
there<00:35:54.019><c> were</c><00:35:54.260><c> certain</c><00:35:54.659><c> Jews,</c>

00:35:56.019 --> 00:35:58.900
and<00:35:56.460><c> they'd</c><00:35:56.780><c> say</c><00:35:56.900><c> that</c><00:35:57.059><c> with</c><00:35:57.239><c> a</c><00:35:57.380><c> great</c><00:35:57.539><c> deal</c><00:35:57.699><c> of</c><00:35:58.000><c> contempt.</c>

00:35:59.619 --> 00:36:02.880
And<00:35:59.900><c> then</c><00:36:00.039><c> they'd</c><00:36:00.360><c> say</c><00:36:00.500><c> perhaps</c><00:36:00.760><c> in</c><00:36:00.900><c> a</c><00:36:01.059><c> different</c><00:36:01.300><c> tone</c><00:36:01.579><c> of</c><00:36:01.800><c> voice,</c>

00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:07.980
who,<00:36:03.880><c> by</c><00:36:04.099><c> the</c><00:36:04.280><c> way,</c><00:36:05.900><c> you</c><00:36:06.199><c> set</c><00:36:06.539><c> up</c><00:36:06.820><c> over</c><00:36:06.980><c> the</c><00:36:07.199><c> kingdom.</c>

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.659
Inferring<00:36:11.019><c> that</c><00:36:11.139><c> that</c><00:36:11.260><c> was</c><00:36:11.420><c> a</c><00:36:11.500><c> big</c><00:36:11.659><c> mistake.</c>

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:15.559
You<00:36:13.579><c> don't</c><00:36:13.780><c> bring</c><00:36:13.980><c> foreigners</c><00:36:14.340><c> into</c><00:36:14.559><c> the</c><00:36:14.760><c> land.</c>

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:19.820

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:23.280
And<00:36:20.639><c> the</c><00:36:20.820><c> inference</c><00:36:21.039><c> is,</c><00:36:21.840><c> you</c><00:36:22.039><c> made</c><00:36:22.159><c> a</c><00:36:22.300><c> mistake.</c>

00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:27.760
And<00:36:24.019><c> not</c><00:36:24.139><c> only</c><00:36:24.300><c> that,</c><00:36:25.599><c> but</c><00:36:25.739><c> the</c><00:36:25.980><c> further</c><00:36:26.199><c> inference</c><00:36:26.599><c> is</c>

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:32.260
that<00:36:28.659><c> they</c><00:36:28.900><c> didn't</c><00:36:29.179><c> respect</c><00:36:29.960><c> or</c><00:36:30.900><c> didn't</c><00:36:31.239><c> honour</c>

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:35.920
or<00:36:33.219><c> didn't</c><00:36:33.440><c> appreciate</c><00:36:33.980><c> the</c><00:36:34.239><c> honour</c><00:36:34.380><c> that</c><00:36:34.539><c> you</c><00:36:34.679><c> gave</c><00:36:34.900><c> them.</c>

00:36:35.980 --> 00:36:38.139
It<00:36:36.159><c> was</c><00:36:36.340><c> all</c><00:36:36.480><c> very</c><00:36:36.800><c> cleverly</c><00:36:37.199><c> worded.</c>

00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:41.159
Furthermore,<00:36:39.340><c> they</c><00:36:39.460><c> mentioned</c><00:36:39.679><c> them</c><00:36:39.860><c> by</c><00:36:40.059><c> name.</c>

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:44.159
They're<00:36:42.719><c> Babylonian</c><00:36:43.280><c> names.</c>

00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:47.840
In<00:36:46.119><c> other</c><00:36:46.320><c> words,</c><00:36:46.659><c> they</c><00:36:46.840><c> were</c><00:36:47.039><c> not</c><00:36:47.239><c> living</c><00:36:47.440><c> up</c>

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:50.780
to<00:36:48.119><c> the</c><00:36:48.360><c> expectations</c><00:36:49.000><c> what</c><00:36:49.260><c> the</c><00:36:49.400><c> king</c><00:36:49.480><c> had</c><00:36:49.679><c> for</c><00:36:49.880><c> them.</c>

00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:54.119
This<00:36:51.559><c> was</c><00:36:51.840><c> treason,</c><00:36:53.000><c> which</c><00:36:53.139><c> he</c><00:36:53.340><c> was</c><00:36:53.579><c> partly</c><00:36:53.780><c> to</c><00:36:54.000><c> blame.</c>

00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:55.239
That's<00:36:54.380><c> all</c><00:36:54.519><c> the</c><00:36:54.699><c> inference</c><00:36:54.900><c> here.</c>

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:57.320
Imagine<00:36:55.739><c> how</c><00:36:55.880><c> this</c><00:36:56.019><c> was</c><00:36:56.239><c> well</c><00:36:56.539><c> put.</c>

00:36:57.820 --> 00:37:00.360
How<00:36:57.980><c> this</c><00:36:58.119><c> would</c><00:36:58.280><c> be</c><00:36:58.519><c> put</c><00:36:58.679><c> before</c><00:36:59.019><c> King</c><00:36:59.519><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.260
And<00:37:00.840><c> finally,</c><00:37:01.219><c> they</c><00:37:01.420><c> said,</c><00:37:01.679><c> which</c><00:37:01.840><c> wasn't</c><00:37:02.159><c> true,</c>

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:06.079
they<00:37:03.659><c> said</c><00:37:03.960><c> in</c><00:37:04.300><c> the</c><00:37:04.460><c> end</c><00:37:04.679><c> of</c><00:37:04.820><c> verse</c><00:37:05.000><c> 12,</c>

00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:08.800
that<00:37:06.679><c> they</c><00:37:06.820><c> haven't</c><00:37:07.099><c> regarded</c><00:37:07.500><c> you,</c><00:37:07.940><c> O</c><00:37:08.059><c> King.</c>

00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:11.179
In<00:37:09.579><c> other</c><00:37:09.719><c> words,</c><00:37:09.880><c> they've</c><00:37:10.139><c> set</c><00:37:10.239><c> no</c><00:37:10.539><c> regard</c><00:37:10.780><c> upon</c><00:37:11.019><c> you,</c>

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:12.039
as<00:37:11.300><c> the</c><00:37:11.480><c> margin</c><00:37:11.760><c> says.</c>

00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.780
And<00:37:12.400><c> there</c><00:37:12.480><c> was</c><00:37:12.599><c> an</c><00:37:12.800><c> appeal</c><00:37:13.019><c> to</c><00:37:13.179><c> the</c><00:37:13.340><c> ego</c><00:37:13.539><c> of</c><00:37:13.719><c> the</c><00:37:13.880><c> king.</c>

00:37:15.059 --> 00:37:16.639
You<00:37:15.139><c> know,</c><00:37:15.340><c> King,</c><00:37:15.760><c> it's</c><00:37:16.239><c> one</c><00:37:16.480><c> thing</c>

00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:18.639
not<00:37:16.880><c> to</c><00:37:17.039><c> acknowledge</c><00:37:17.360><c> the</c><00:37:17.559><c> gods</c><00:37:17.719><c> of</c><00:37:17.940><c> Babylon.</c>

00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.119
But<00:37:19.179><c> it's</c><00:37:19.360><c> another</c><00:37:19.579><c> thing,</c><00:37:20.500><c> O</c><00:37:20.780><c> King,</c><00:37:21.019><c> to</c><00:37:21.119><c> realise</c><00:37:21.420><c> that,</c>

00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.599
after<00:37:22.400><c> all,</c><00:37:23.119><c> you</c><00:37:23.360><c> set</c><00:37:23.539><c> the</c><00:37:23.719><c> image</c><00:37:23.840><c> up,</c><00:37:24.079><c> didn't</c><00:37:24.219><c> you?</c>

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:26.079
Wasn't<00:37:25.139><c> it</c><00:37:25.360><c> you</c><00:37:25.519><c> that</c><00:37:25.659><c> did</c><00:37:25.820><c> it?</c>

00:37:26.179 --> 00:37:28.179
Eight<00:37:26.360><c> times</c><00:37:26.659><c> it</c><00:37:26.820><c> said</c><00:37:26.940><c> that</c><00:37:27.119><c> in</c><00:37:27.139><c> that</c><00:37:27.300><c> chapter.</c>

00:37:28.260 --> 00:37:29.280
Well,<00:37:28.400><c> they</c><00:37:28.519><c> don't</c><00:37:28.699><c> care</c><00:37:28.960><c> for</c><00:37:29.119><c> you.</c>

00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:31.699
You<00:37:29.400><c> know,</c><00:37:29.699><c> they</c><00:37:30.059><c> just</c><00:37:30.219><c> don't</c><00:37:30.420><c> care</c><00:37:30.679><c> for</c><00:37:30.820><c> you.</c>

00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.039
That<00:37:32.460><c> was</c><00:37:32.619><c> not</c><00:37:32.760><c> altogether</c><00:37:33.039><c> true.</c>

00:37:34.820 --> 00:37:36.739
Those<00:37:35.219><c> friends</c><00:37:35.519><c> of</c><00:37:35.659><c> Daniel,</c><00:37:36.000><c> and</c><00:37:36.139><c> Daniel</c><00:37:36.360><c> himself,</c>

00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:38.420
spoke<00:37:37.099><c> very</c><00:37:37.440><c> respectfully</c><00:37:37.900><c> to</c><00:37:38.099><c> the</c><00:37:38.280><c> king</c>

00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:39.760
and<00:37:38.579><c> to</c><00:37:38.699><c> all</c><00:37:38.820><c> the</c><00:37:39.019><c> officials</c><00:37:39.260><c> in</c><00:37:39.519><c> Babylon,</c>

00:37:39.860 --> 00:37:41.239
as<00:37:40.000><c> we'll</c><00:37:40.179><c> see</c><00:37:40.340><c> later.</c>

00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:43.639
Not<00:37:41.900><c> that</c><00:37:42.000><c> they</c><00:37:42.099><c> had</c><00:37:42.300><c> great</c><00:37:42.519><c> love</c><00:37:42.760><c> for</c><00:37:43.000><c> them,</c><00:37:43.119><c> either.</c>

00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:45.500
But<00:37:43.980><c> they</c><00:37:44.239><c> did</c><00:37:44.500><c> respect</c><00:37:44.940><c> their</c><00:37:45.119><c> position.</c>

00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:46.400
That<00:37:45.639><c> was</c><00:37:45.840><c> not</c><00:37:46.099><c> true.</c>

00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.599
But<00:37:46.780><c> it</c><00:37:46.860><c> was</c><00:37:47.039><c> a</c><00:37:47.199><c> play</c><00:37:47.320><c> upon</c><00:37:47.519><c> the</c><00:37:47.719><c> ego</c><00:37:47.880><c> of</c><00:37:48.059><c> the</c><00:37:48.219><c> king.</c>

00:37:48.980 --> 00:37:50.119
And<00:37:49.119><c> it</c><00:37:49.260><c> worked.</c>

00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:52.880
Because<00:37:50.460><c> in</c><00:37:50.659><c> verse</c><00:37:50.840><c> 13,</c><00:37:51.440><c> he's</c><00:37:51.920><c> in</c><00:37:52.059><c> a</c><00:37:52.199><c> rage</c><00:37:52.400><c> and</c><00:37:52.519><c> a</c><00:37:52.739><c> fury.</c>

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:54.980
Now,<00:37:53.260><c> there's</c><00:37:53.420><c> another</c><00:37:53.659><c> thing</c><00:37:53.820><c> we</c><00:37:53.980><c> learn</c><00:37:54.239><c> about</c><00:37:54.539><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c>

00:37:54.980 --> 00:37:56.199
was<00:37:55.139><c> his</c><00:37:55.320><c> temper.</c>

00:37:57.139 --> 00:37:59.860
Back<00:37:57.380><c> in</c><00:37:57.539><c> chapter</c><00:37:57.780><c> 2,</c><00:37:58.019><c> in</c><00:37:58.139><c> verse</c><00:37:58.300><c> 12,</c><00:37:58.539><c> we've</c><00:37:58.800><c> got</c><00:37:58.940><c> that.</c>

00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:03.000
And<00:38:00.159><c> for</c><00:38:00.260><c> this</c><00:38:00.519><c> god,</c><00:38:00.760><c> the</c><00:38:00.820><c> king</c><00:38:01.000><c> was</c><00:38:01.219><c> angry</c><00:38:01.500><c> and</c><00:38:01.719><c> very</c><00:38:02.039><c> furious.</c>

00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:05.960
Nebuchadnezzar<00:38:04.780><c> has</c><00:38:04.980><c> a</c><00:38:05.099><c> very</c><00:38:05.400><c> short</c><00:38:05.679><c> fuse</c>

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:08.619

00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:13.099
But<00:38:09.719><c> you</c><00:38:09.820><c> know,</c><00:38:10.239><c> brothers</c><00:38:10.380><c> and</c><00:38:10.619><c> sisters,</c><00:38:11.539><c> despite</c><00:38:11.960><c> that,</c>

the<00:38:13.940><c> regard</c><00:38:14.239><c> he</c><00:38:14.360><c> had</c><00:38:14.519><c> for</c><00:38:14.719><c> those</c><00:38:14.960><c> three</c><00:38:15.139><c> men</c><00:38:15.280><c> was</c><00:38:15.460><c> incredible.</c>

00:38:17.340 --> 00:38:17.980
It<00:38:17.500><c> really</c><00:38:17.800><c> was.</c>

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:19.719
Now,<00:38:18.300><c> first</c><00:38:18.539><c> of</c><00:38:18.679><c> all,</c><00:38:18.739><c> he</c><00:38:18.840><c> wants</c><00:38:19.019><c> to</c><00:38:19.139><c> know</c><00:38:19.219><c> whether</c><00:38:19.360><c> it's</c><00:38:19.579><c> true.</c>

00:38:19.739 --> 00:38:21.380
He's<00:38:19.900><c> not</c><00:38:20.039><c> altogether</c><00:38:20.280><c> going</c><00:38:20.440><c> to</c><00:38:20.619><c> believe</c><00:38:20.739><c> what</c><00:38:20.860><c> he's</c><00:38:21.139><c> told.</c>

00:38:21.780 --> 00:38:24.440
So<00:38:21.960><c> in</c><00:38:22.079><c> verse</c><00:38:22.260><c> 14,</c><00:38:22.539><c> he</c><00:38:22.699><c> said,</c><00:38:23.019><c> is</c><00:38:23.219><c> it</c><00:38:23.539><c> true?</c>

00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:27.579
Now,<00:38:24.980><c> the</c><00:38:25.159><c> margin's</c><00:38:25.599><c> correct</c><00:38:25.820><c> when</c><00:38:25.960><c> it</c><00:38:26.199><c> says</c><00:38:26.559><c> here</c><00:38:26.980><c> in</c><00:38:27.099><c> the</c><00:38:27.280><c> margin,</c>

00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:28.940

We<00:41:29.920><c> don't</c><00:41:30.139><c> need</c><00:41:30.300><c> any</c><00:41:30.539><c> time</c><00:41:30.659><c> to</c><00:41:30.820><c> think</c><00:41:31.000><c> about</c><00:41:31.159><c> it.</c>

00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:32.699

00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.179
Now,<00:41:41.099><c> brothers</c><00:41:41.179><c> and</c><00:41:41.360><c> sisters,</c><00:41:41.599><c> Daniel's</c><00:41:41.980><c> not</c><00:41:42.239><c> there.</c>

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:45.820
And<00:41:44.179><c> I'll</c><00:41:44.300><c> tell</c><00:41:44.400><c> you</c><00:41:44.500><c> something</c><00:41:44.719><c> else.</c>

How<00:41:50.639><c> would</c><00:41:50.800><c> you</c><00:41:50.960><c> like</c><00:41:51.119><c> to</c><00:41:51.320><c> be</c><00:41:51.639><c> thinking</c><00:41:51.800><c> about</c><00:41:52.119><c> that</c><00:41:52.380><c> fiery</c><00:41:52.659><c> furnace?</c>

00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:56.840
And<00:41:55.920><c> there</c><00:41:56.119><c> are</c><00:41:56.119><c> three</c><00:41:56.340><c> of</c><00:41:56.440><c> them.</c>

00:41:56.860 --> 00:42:00.039
Wouldn't<00:41:57.579><c> you</c><00:41:57.840><c> think</c><00:41:58.340><c> that</c><00:41:58.900><c> one</c><00:41:59.059><c> of</c><00:41:59.179><c> them</c><00:41:59.260><c> would</c><00:41:59.519><c> start</c><00:41:59.760><c> to</c>

Wouldn't<00:42:04.239><c> you</c><00:42:04.460><c> think</c><00:42:04.699><c> that</c><00:42:05.059><c> at</c><00:42:05.139><c> least</c><00:42:05.340><c> one</c><00:42:05.559><c> of</c><00:42:05.659><c> them</c>

00:42:05.739 --> 00:42:07.760
would<00:42:05.960><c> start</c><00:42:06.119><c> thinking</c><00:42:06.360><c> about</c><00:42:06.639><c> the</c><00:42:06.800><c> temperature?</c>

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:10.159
Not<00:42:08.840><c> one</c><00:42:09.000><c> of</c><00:42:09.079><c> them</c><00:42:09.179><c> did.</c>

00:42:10.300 --> 00:42:12.219
It's<00:42:10.440><c> all</c><00:42:10.559><c> very</c><00:42:10.760><c> well</c><00:42:11.019><c> to</c><00:42:11.320><c> determine</c><00:42:11.500><c> in</c><00:42:11.639><c> your</c><00:42:11.820><c> own</c><00:42:12.019><c> mind</c>

and<00:42:12.340><c> to</c><00:42:12.480><c> make</c><00:42:12.579><c> you</c><00:42:12.820><c> stand.</c>

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:15.219
But<00:42:14.119><c> when</c><00:42:14.239><c> there's</c><00:42:14.559><c> three</c><00:42:14.820><c> of</c><00:42:14.980><c> you</c>

00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.360
Then<00:42:20.280><c> it's</c><00:42:20.420><c> something</c><00:42:20.599><c> to</c><00:42:20.699><c> think</c><00:42:20.940><c> about,</c><00:42:21.460><c> isn't</c><00:42:21.639><c> it?</c>

00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:24.659
And<00:42:22.940><c> you</c><00:42:22.980><c> know,</c><00:42:23.179><c> one</c><00:42:23.260><c> of</c><00:42:23.380><c> the</c><00:42:23.659><c> methods</c><00:42:23.980><c> of</c><00:42:24.139><c> the</c><00:42:24.300><c> Babylonians</c>

00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:29.119
Did<00:42:28.079><c> you</c><00:42:28.159><c> know</c><00:42:28.320><c> that?</c>

00:42:34.579 --> 00:42:36.179
It<00:42:34.800><c> really</c><00:42:35.260><c> worked.</c>

00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:39.440
And<00:42:36.940><c> their</c><00:42:37.119><c> names,</c><00:42:38.079><c> one</c><00:42:38.260><c> of</c><00:42:38.320><c> them</c><00:42:38.420><c> was</c><00:42:38.699><c> Ahab.</c>

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:42.719
And<00:42:40.679><c> one</c><00:42:40.800><c> of</c><00:42:41.920><c> their</c><00:42:42.019><c> names</c><00:42:42.199><c> was</c><00:42:42.420><c> Ahab.</c>

00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:10.730
Same<00:50:09.840><c> thing.</c>

00:50:13.179 --> 00:50:16.019
Faith<00:50:13.320><c> does</c><00:50:13.719><c> not</c><00:50:13.860><c> always</c><00:50:14.179><c> save</c><00:50:14.420><c> us,</c><00:50:14.820><c> brothers</c><00:50:14.820><c> and</c><00:50:15.019><c> sisters,</c>

00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:22.480
but<00:50:17.340><c> it</c><00:50:17.539><c> may</c><00:50:18.739><c> help</c><00:50:19.320><c> us</c><00:50:20.519><c> to</c><00:50:21.039><c> go</c><00:50:21.219><c> through</c><00:50:21.539><c> trial.</c>

00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:24.239
You<00:50:23.000><c> see</c><00:50:23.179><c> the</c><00:50:23.380><c> point?</c>

00:50:24.659 --> 00:50:26.000
It's<00:50:24.780><c> all</c><00:50:25.000><c> faith.</c>

00:50:26.420 --> 00:50:30.119
Whether<00:50:26.579><c> we</c><00:50:26.820><c> be</c><00:50:26.920><c> this</c><00:50:27.179><c> crowd</c><00:50:27.420><c> or</c><00:50:27.659><c> others</c><00:50:28.119><c> who</c><00:50:28.820><c> didn't</c><00:50:29.139><c> escape.</c>

00:50:30.219 --> 00:50:31.280
It's<00:50:30.280><c> all</c><00:50:30.420><c> done</c><00:50:30.599><c> by</c><00:50:30.860><c> faith.</c>

00:50:31.500 --> 00:50:32.699
And<00:50:31.579><c> that's</c><00:50:31.659><c> what</c><00:50:31.739><c> they</c><00:50:31.960><c> said.</c>

00:50:32.739 --> 00:50:35.199
If<00:50:32.880><c> God</c><00:50:33.199><c> takes</c><00:50:33.639><c> us,</c><00:50:34.059><c> if</c><00:50:34.179><c> he's</c><00:50:34.440><c> prepared</c><00:50:34.760><c> to</c><00:50:34.960><c> deliver</c><00:50:35.099><c> us,</c>

00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:36.820
he<00:50:35.320><c> will</c><00:50:35.699><c> and</c><00:50:36.000><c> he's</c><00:50:36.219><c> able</c><00:50:36.380><c> to</c><00:50:36.539><c> do</c><00:50:36.639><c> it.</c>

00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:37.760
But<00:50:37.159><c> if</c><00:50:37.280><c> he</c><00:50:37.360><c> doesn't</c><00:50:37.599><c> want</c><00:50:37.719><c> it,</c>

00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:38.860
we're<00:50:37.920><c> not</c><00:50:37.980><c> going</c><00:50:38.059><c> to</c><00:50:38.139><c> pursue</c><00:50:38.340><c> him</c><00:50:38.440><c> upon</c><00:50:38.579><c> that.</c>

00:50:39.099 --> 00:50:40.880
But<00:50:39.219><c> our</c><00:50:39.460><c> faith</c><00:50:39.639><c> is</c><00:50:39.820><c> we'll</c><00:50:40.000><c> submit.</c>

00:50:41.380 --> 00:50:43.139
That's<00:50:41.679><c> what</c><00:50:41.760><c> you</c><00:50:41.920><c> call</c><00:50:42.099><c> faith.</c>

00:50:44.900 --> 00:50:46.480
That's<00:50:45.300><c> real</c><00:50:45.460><c> faith.</c>

00:50:47.500 --> 00:50:49.960
Not<00:50:47.780><c> the</c><00:50:47.980><c> faith</c><00:50:48.159><c> that</c><00:50:48.300><c> we</c><00:50:48.539><c> somehow</c><00:50:48.800><c> manifest.</c>

00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:53.800
We<00:50:50.480><c> pray</c><00:50:50.760><c> to</c><00:50:50.880><c> God</c><00:50:51.119><c> for</c><00:50:51.699><c> a</c><00:50:52.239><c> mansion</c><00:50:52.579><c> to</c><00:50:52.739><c> live</c><00:50:52.860><c> in</c><00:50:53.000><c> or</c><00:50:53.079><c> something.</c>

00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:57.260
We<00:50:54.500><c> want</c><00:50:54.780><c> to</c><00:50:54.920><c> drive</c><00:50:55.059><c> around</c><00:50:55.219><c> in</c><00:50:55.360><c> a</c><00:50:55.519><c> Cadillac</c><00:50:55.860><c> or</c><00:50:56.139><c> a</c><00:50:56.280><c> Rolls</c><00:50:56.579><c> Royce.</c>

00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:00.179
And<00:50:58.280><c> we</c><00:50:58.340><c> can't</c><00:50:58.559><c> accept</c><00:50:58.900><c> the</c><00:50:59.079><c> fact</c><00:50:59.239><c> that</c><00:50:59.380><c> we</c><00:50:59.500><c> finish</c><00:50:59.739><c> up</c><00:50:59.920><c> with</c><00:51:00.059><c> a</c>

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:01.699
mini<00:51:00.360><c>-miner</c><00:51:00.659><c> or</c><00:51:00.760><c> something.</c>

00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:04.880
But<00:51:03.239><c> you</c><00:51:03.300><c> see,</c><00:51:03.639><c> brothers</c><00:51:03.760><c> and</c><00:51:03.940><c> sisters,</c><00:51:04.079><c> that's</c><00:51:04.380><c> not</c><00:51:04.639><c> faith.</c>

00:51:04.940 --> 00:51:05.699
That's<00:51:05.179><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.480
This<00:51:06.320><c> is</c><00:51:06.539><c> faith.</c>

00:51:07.780 --> 00:51:09.840
God<00:51:08.019><c> will</c><00:51:08.179><c> deliver</c><00:51:08.360><c> us</c><00:51:08.480><c> and</c><00:51:08.559><c> if</c><00:51:08.659><c> he</c><00:51:08.739><c> doesn't,</c><00:51:09.340><c> don't</c><00:51:09.500><c> matter.</c>

00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:12.000
In<00:51:10.340><c> the</c><00:51:10.500><c> end,</c><00:51:10.619><c> it'll</c><00:51:10.780><c> be</c><00:51:10.960><c> all</c><00:51:11.119><c> right.</c>

00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:12.860
That's<00:51:12.519><c> faith.</c>

00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:15.599
These<00:51:13.519><c> men</c><00:51:13.719><c> were</c><00:51:13.960><c> incredible</c><00:51:14.400><c> men</c><00:51:14.579><c> of</c><00:51:14.800><c> faith.</c>

00:51:16.539 --> 00:51:18.780
Well,<00:51:16.900><c> Nebuchadnezzar's</c><00:51:17.260><c> got</c><00:51:17.360><c> the</c><00:51:17.519><c> answer</c><00:51:17.659><c> to</c><00:51:17.719><c> all</c><00:51:17.900><c> that.</c>

00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:21.460
Verse<00:51:19.400><c> 20,</c><00:51:20.099><c> he</c><00:51:20.199><c> calls</c><00:51:20.340><c> him</c><00:51:20.500><c> the</c><00:51:20.739><c> army.</c>

00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:23.699
He<00:51:22.880><c> called</c><00:51:23.000><c> the</c><00:51:23.300><c> army</c><00:51:23.539><c> in.</c>

00:51:23.980 --> 00:51:25.940
He<00:51:24.000><c> commanded</c><00:51:24.340><c> the</c><00:51:24.559><c> most</c><00:51:24.800><c> mighty</c><00:51:25.119><c> men</c><00:51:25.320><c> that</c><00:51:25.420><c> would</c><00:51:25.519><c> his</c><00:51:25.679><c> army</c>

00:51:25.940 --> 00:51:26.880
to<00:51:26.179><c> come.</c>

00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.039
The<00:51:27.579><c> margin</c><00:51:27.860><c> says</c><00:51:28.460><c> the</c><00:51:29.079><c> might</c><00:51:29.280><c> of</c><00:51:29.460><c> his</c><00:51:29.699><c> strength.</c>

00:51:30.420 --> 00:51:32.860
Now,<00:51:30.699><c> look,</c><00:51:31.519><c> I</c><00:51:31.659><c> don't</c><00:51:31.920><c> believe,</c><00:51:32.360><c> brothers</c><00:51:32.460><c> and</c><00:51:32.659><c> sisters,</c>

00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:34.880
that<00:51:33.119><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:51:33.940><c> thought</c><00:51:34.239><c> for</c><00:51:34.500><c> a</c><00:51:34.599><c> moment</c>

00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:36.980
that<00:51:35.079><c> those</c><00:51:35.340><c> three</c><00:51:35.539><c> men</c><00:51:35.679><c> were</c><00:51:35.840><c> going</c><00:51:35.960><c> to</c><00:51:36.119><c> revolt.</c>

00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:40.280
Imagine<00:51:38.039><c> him</c><00:51:38.280><c> even</c><00:51:38.599><c> thinking</c><00:51:38.820><c> that</c><00:51:39.260><c> these</c><00:51:39.619><c> three</c><00:51:39.920><c> Jews</c>

00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:42.679
who<00:51:40.639><c> had</c><00:51:40.980><c> stood</c><00:51:41.119><c> up</c><00:51:41.239><c> on</c><00:51:41.300><c> that</c><00:51:41.559><c> plain</c><00:51:41.800><c> had</c><00:51:42.119><c> any</c><00:51:42.360><c> thoughts</c>

00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:45.440
of<00:51:43.519><c> trying</c><00:51:43.800><c> to</c><00:51:44.019><c> revolt</c><00:51:44.260><c> in</c><00:51:44.420><c> the</c><00:51:44.480><c> middle</c><00:51:44.599><c> of</c><00:51:44.739><c> his</c><00:51:45.099><c> kingdom.</c>

00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:46.659
It's<00:51:45.639><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:51:46.659 --> 00:51:47.960
He<00:51:46.900><c> didn't</c><00:51:47.280><c> call</c><00:51:47.519><c> his</c><00:51:47.679><c> army</c>

00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:50.559
because<00:51:48.340><c> they</c><00:51:48.599><c> were</c><00:51:48.900><c> struggling</c><00:51:49.219><c> to</c><00:51:49.420><c> escape.</c>

00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:53.440
But<00:51:51.860><c> he</c><00:51:51.980><c> wanted</c><00:51:52.199><c> to</c><00:51:52.559><c> add.</c>

00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:56.519
He<00:51:53.880><c> wanted</c><00:51:54.099><c> to</c><00:51:54.380><c> add</c><00:51:54.619><c> to</c><00:51:54.780><c> the</c><00:51:54.980><c> drama</c><00:51:55.219><c> of</c><00:51:55.500><c> the</c><00:51:55.500><c> situation.</c>

00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:59.440
So<00:51:56.820><c> now</c><00:51:57.019><c> he's</c><00:51:57.199><c> got</c><00:51:57.300><c> all</c><00:51:57.539><c> these</c><00:51:58.119><c> dignitaries</c><00:51:58.659><c> there</c><00:51:58.880><c> of</c><00:51:59.000><c> his</c><00:51:59.199><c> kingdom.</c>

00:51:59.659 --> 00:52:01.960
He's<00:51:59.820><c> got</c><00:51:59.920><c> these</c><00:52:00.199><c> international</c><00:52:00.940><c> representatives</c><00:52:01.559><c> there.</c>

00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:03.920
He's<00:52:02.400><c> got</c><00:52:02.500><c> his</c><00:52:02.780><c> international</c><00:52:03.400><c> orchestra</c>

00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:06.420
and<00:52:04.340><c> now</c><00:52:04.559><c> he</c><00:52:04.780><c> brings</c><00:52:04.980><c> in</c><00:52:05.159><c> the</c><00:52:05.440><c> claw</c><00:52:05.619><c> of</c><00:52:05.820><c> his</c><00:52:06.039><c> army.</c>

00:52:06.860 --> 00:52:07.480
Stands<00:52:07.239><c> them</c><00:52:07.380><c> there.</c>

00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:08.639
Look<00:52:07.679><c> at</c><00:52:07.840><c> that.</c>

00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:10.480
But<00:52:09.280><c> he</c><00:52:09.420><c> didn't</c><00:52:09.659><c> need</c><00:52:09.860><c> those</c><00:52:10.139><c> army.</c>

00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:12.840
Those<00:52:11.139><c> three</c><00:52:11.380><c> men</c><00:52:11.619><c> would</c><00:52:12.039><c> walk</c><00:52:12.300><c> into</c><00:52:12.460><c> that</c><00:52:12.679><c> fire,</c>

00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:13.619
no<00:52:13.059><c> problem,</c><00:52:13.300><c> whatever.</c>

00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:15.059
They<00:52:13.980><c> weren't</c><00:52:14.159><c> going</c><00:52:14.360><c> to</c><00:52:14.659><c> struggle.</c>

00:52:15.059 --> 00:52:17.880
But<00:52:15.559><c> he</c><00:52:15.719><c> wants</c><00:52:16.059><c> the</c><00:52:16.380><c> army</c><00:52:16.619><c> to</c><00:52:16.820><c> be</c><00:52:16.980><c> there.</c>

00:52:18.099 --> 00:52:20.320
And<00:52:18.239><c> I</c><00:52:18.420><c> believe</c><00:52:18.599><c> all</c><00:52:18.820><c> that</c><00:52:18.940><c> was</c><00:52:19.179><c> providential.</c>

00:52:20.659 --> 00:52:23.039
And<00:52:20.760><c> they</c><00:52:20.860><c> didn't</c><00:52:21.000><c> wait,</c><00:52:21.320><c> as</c><00:52:21.440><c> they</c><00:52:21.559><c> would</c><00:52:21.780><c> normally</c><00:52:22.079><c> do,</c>

00:52:23.500 --> 00:52:24.659
to<00:52:23.699><c> strip</c><00:52:23.900><c> them</c><00:52:24.019><c> of</c><00:52:24.099><c> their</c><00:52:24.260><c> own</c><00:52:24.500><c> clothes</c>

and<00:52:24.800><c> put</c><00:52:24.920><c> them</c><00:52:25.099><c> in</c><00:52:25.260><c> prison</c><00:52:25.500><c> garbs.</c>

00:52:25.940 --> 00:52:27.539
No,<00:52:26.400><c> it</c><00:52:26.539><c> says</c><00:52:26.760><c> in</c><00:52:26.940><c> verse</c><00:52:27.159><c> 21,</c>

00:52:27.579 --> 00:52:29.719
they<00:52:27.780><c> bound</c><00:52:28.019><c> them</c><00:52:28.199><c> up</c><00:52:28.320><c> with</c><00:52:28.539><c> all</c><00:52:28.920><c> the</c><00:52:29.300><c> clothing</c>

00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:31.800
that<00:52:29.860><c> was</c><00:52:30.159><c> combustible,</c><00:52:31.440><c> inflammatory.</c>

00:52:32.139 --> 00:52:35.159
All<00:52:32.360><c> this</c><00:52:32.619><c> clothing</c><00:52:33.099><c> that</c><00:52:33.239><c> would</c><00:52:33.400><c> go</c><00:52:33.539><c> up</c><00:52:33.619><c> easy</c><00:52:33.960><c> in</c><00:52:34.260><c> flames.</c>

00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:38.940
And<00:52:36.559><c> the</c><00:52:36.719><c> king's</c><00:52:37.079><c> command</c><00:52:37.260><c> was</c><00:52:37.480><c> so</c><00:52:37.800><c> urgent</c><00:52:37.980><c> in</c><00:52:38.159><c> verse</c><00:52:38.400><c> 22.</c>

00:52:38.940 --> 00:52:40.000
It<00:52:39.239><c> was</c><00:52:39.460><c> so</c><00:52:39.760><c> urgent.</c>

00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:42.119
And<00:52:40.400><c> the</c><00:52:40.559><c> furnace</c><00:52:40.719><c> was</c><00:52:40.920><c> so</c><00:52:41.260><c> hot</c>

00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:44.099
that<00:52:42.679><c> the</c><00:52:42.920><c> flame</c><00:52:43.179><c> slew</c><00:52:43.619><c> those</c><00:52:43.940><c> men</c>

00:52:44.099 --> 00:52:46.079
that<00:52:44.239><c> took</c><00:52:44.400><c> up</c><00:52:44.679><c> Shadrach,</c><00:52:45.099><c> Meshach,</c><00:52:45.500><c> and</c><00:52:45.639><c> Abednego,</c>

00:52:46.420 --> 00:52:48.199
the<00:52:46.659><c> cream</c><00:52:46.860><c> of</c><00:52:47.039><c> his</c><00:52:47.260><c> army.</c>

00:52:48.340 --> 00:52:50.239
So<00:52:48.519><c> he</c><00:52:48.599><c> would</c><00:52:48.780><c> have</c><00:52:49.139><c> the</c><00:52:49.420><c> best</c><00:52:49.679><c> of</c><00:52:49.860><c> his</c><00:52:50.059><c> army,</c>

00:52:50.300 --> 00:52:53.940

00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:55.400
Everybody<00:52:54.519><c> would</c><00:52:54.780><c> know</c><00:52:54.940><c> them.</c>

00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:57.360
They<00:52:55.860><c> would</c><00:52:56.019><c> be</c><00:52:56.219><c> notorious</c><00:52:56.820><c> in</c><00:52:57.019><c> the</c><00:52:57.159><c> land.</c>

00:52:57.619 --> 00:52:58.460
Grab<00:52:57.940><c> these</c><00:52:58.280><c> fellows.</c>

00:52:58.679 --> 00:52:59.579
Come<00:52:58.820><c> here,</c><00:52:59.460><c> you.</c>

00:52:59.579 --> 00:53:00.360
Brown<00:52:59.820><c> will</c><00:53:00.000><c> go</c><00:53:00.099><c> the</c><00:53:00.219><c> road.</c>

00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:02.019
Over<00:53:00.960><c> to</c><00:53:01.119><c> the</c><00:53:01.199><c> foot</c><00:53:01.260><c> of</c><00:53:01.340><c> the</c><00:53:01.519><c> flame</c><00:53:01.780><c> comes</c><00:53:01.900><c> out</c>

00:53:02.019 --> 00:53:04.599
and<00:53:02.099><c> goes</c><00:53:02.360><c> whiff</c><00:53:03.019><c> of</c><00:53:03.559><c> their</c><00:53:03.739><c> ashes.</c>

00:53:05.739 --> 00:53:07.179
You<00:53:05.980><c> know</c><00:53:06.099><c> what</c><00:53:06.119><c> that</c><00:53:06.360><c> proved?</c>

00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:10.380
The<00:53:09.260><c> fire</c><00:53:09.480><c> worked.</c>

00:53:12.460 --> 00:53:13.739
No,<00:53:13.039><c> you</c><00:53:13.340><c> laugh.</c>

00:53:13.739 --> 00:53:15.420
But<00:53:13.940><c> you</c><00:53:14.139><c> see,</c><00:53:14.260><c> that's</c><00:53:14.500><c> the</c><00:53:14.579><c> point.</c>

00:53:15.780 --> 00:53:16.199
Why?

00:53:16.460 --> 00:53:18.360
It<00:53:16.699><c> works</c><00:53:17.000><c> on</c><00:53:17.239><c> the</c><00:53:17.380><c> outside.</c>

00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:20.239
It<00:53:19.639><c> works.</c>

00:53:20.340 --> 00:53:22.199
Nothing<00:53:20.559><c> magic</c><00:53:20.940><c> in</c><00:53:21.119><c> the</c><00:53:21.280><c> fire.</c>

00:53:23.420 --> 00:53:26.199
It<00:53:23.639><c> works</c><00:53:24.179><c> on</c><00:53:24.920><c> the</c><00:53:25.179><c> outside.</c>

00:53:26.820 --> 00:53:29.179
And<00:53:26.940><c> you</c><00:53:27.079><c> see,</c><00:53:27.320><c> that's</c><00:53:27.539><c> what</c><00:53:27.699><c> it's</c><00:53:27.820><c> all</c><00:53:27.960><c> about,</c><00:53:28.179><c> you</c><00:53:28.400><c> see.</c>

00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.320
It's<00:53:29.340><c> all</c><00:53:29.539><c> about</c><00:53:29.739><c> the</c><00:53:29.940><c> fact,</c><00:53:30.239><c> brothers</c><00:53:30.320><c> and</c><00:53:30.539><c> sisters,</c>

00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:33.239
that<00:53:31.519><c> this</c><00:53:32.079><c> is</c><00:53:32.619><c> what's</c><00:53:32.860><c> going</c><00:53:32.960><c> to</c><00:53:33.099><c> happen.</c>

00:53:33.500 --> 00:53:35.480
There's<00:53:33.699><c> going</c><00:53:33.780><c> to</c><00:53:33.860><c> be</c><00:53:34.000><c> a</c><00:53:34.159><c> miracle</c><00:53:34.460><c> here,</c><00:53:34.840><c> okay?</c>

00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:36.679
There's<00:53:35.980><c> going</c><00:53:36.079><c> to</c><00:53:36.139><c> be</c><00:53:36.300><c> a</c><00:53:36.400><c> miracle.</c>

00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:39.000
And<00:53:37.099><c> it's</c><00:53:37.320><c> all</c><00:53:37.539><c> done</c><00:53:37.719><c> for</c><00:53:37.880><c> that</c><00:53:38.099><c> reason.</c>

00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:42.019
So<00:53:39.519><c> they</c><00:53:39.619><c> took</c><00:53:39.820><c> these</c><00:53:40.079><c> three</c><00:53:40.300><c> men</c><00:53:40.579><c> and</c><00:53:40.860><c> they</c><00:53:41.420><c> fell</c><00:53:41.619><c> down.</c>

00:53:42.019 --> 00:53:43.199
It<00:53:42.119><c> says</c><00:53:42.320><c> in</c><00:53:42.480><c> verse</c><00:53:42.699><c> 23,</c>

00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:46.460
they<00:53:43.659><c> fell</c><00:53:44.039><c> down</c><00:53:44.380><c> in</c><00:53:44.539><c> the</c><00:53:44.599><c> midst</c><00:53:44.719><c> of</c><00:53:44.880><c> the</c><00:53:44.980><c> burning</c><00:53:45.159><c> fiery</c><00:53:45.440><c> furnace.</c>

00:53:46.820 --> 00:53:49.519
Now,<00:53:46.920><c> the</c><00:53:47.000><c> king</c><00:53:47.219><c> is</c><00:53:47.440><c> standing</c><00:53:47.679><c> afar</c><00:53:48.059><c> off</c><00:53:48.260><c> in</c><00:53:48.400><c> verse</c><00:53:48.619><c> 26,</c><00:53:49.139><c> you</c><00:53:49.360><c> see.</c>

00:53:49.780 --> 00:53:51.519
It<00:53:49.900><c> says</c><00:53:50.000><c> he</c><00:53:50.119><c> came</c><00:53:50.360><c> near</c><00:53:50.539><c> to</c><00:53:50.679><c> the</c><00:53:50.780><c> mouth</c><00:53:50.960><c> of</c><00:53:51.099><c> the</c><00:53:51.260><c> furnace.</c>

00:53:51.780 --> 00:53:55.340
He<00:53:51.900><c> was</c><00:53:52.139><c> drawn</c><00:53:52.480><c> into</c><00:53:52.840><c> the</c><00:53:53.059><c> area</c><00:53:53.360><c> of</c><00:53:53.619><c> danger</c><00:53:53.940><c> by</c><00:53:54.099><c> what</c><00:53:54.239><c> he</c><00:53:54.480><c> saw.</c>

00:53:56.659 --> 00:53:59.239
But<00:53:56.760><c> having</c><00:53:57.039><c> stood</c><00:53:57.260><c> afar</c><00:53:57.619><c> off</c><00:53:57.800><c> in</c><00:53:57.940><c> verse</c><00:53:58.179><c> 24,</c>

00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:02.480
he's<00:53:59.900><c> astounded</c><00:54:00.380><c> because</c><00:54:00.719><c> he</c><00:54:00.920><c> looks,</c><00:54:01.400><c> he</c><00:54:01.739><c> stands</c><00:54:01.980><c> up,</c>

00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:05.380
he<00:54:02.820><c> looks</c><00:54:03.000><c> into</c><00:54:03.179><c> the</c><00:54:03.420><c> fire</c><00:54:03.780><c> and</c><00:54:04.500><c> he</c><00:54:04.679><c> says,</c>

00:54:05.539 --> 00:54:06.559
just<00:54:05.800><c> picture</c><00:54:06.000><c> the</c><00:54:06.280><c> scene,</c>

00:54:06.820 --> 00:54:08.300
just<00:54:06.960><c> how</c><00:54:07.079><c> this</c><00:54:07.260><c> verse</c><00:54:07.440><c> describes</c><00:54:07.920><c> it.</c>

00:54:08.739 --> 00:54:11.000
And<00:54:08.960><c> he</c><00:54:09.280><c> said,</c><00:54:10.280><c> call</c><00:54:10.380><c> his</c><00:54:10.579><c> wise</c><00:54:10.840><c> men.</c>

00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:12.280
Hey,<00:54:11.440><c> come</c><00:54:11.460><c> here,</c><00:54:11.699><c> quick,</c><00:54:11.900><c> quick.</c>

00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:13.480
They'd<00:54:12.760><c> all</c><00:54:12.880><c> gather</c><00:54:13.019><c> around</c><00:54:13.119><c> and</c><00:54:13.159><c> he</c><00:54:13.219><c> said,</c>

00:54:13.820 --> 00:54:15.019
am<00:54:13.980><c> I</c><00:54:14.179><c> mad?</c>

00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:16.159
Am<00:54:15.699><c> I</c><00:54:15.860><c> crazy?</c>

00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:17.380
Why?

00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:19.179
Didn't<00:54:18.039><c> we</c><00:54:18.280><c> throw</c><00:54:18.400><c> three</c><00:54:18.679><c> men</c><00:54:18.780><c> in</c><00:54:18.960><c> there?</c>

00:54:19.539 --> 00:54:20.440
Yeah.

00:54:20.619 --> 00:54:21.539
Weren't<00:54:20.820><c> they</c><00:54:21.019><c> bound</c><00:54:21.260><c> up?</c>

00:54:21.860 --> 00:54:22.760
Yeah.

00:54:23.300 --> 00:54:24.639
I<00:54:23.500><c> see</c><00:54:23.659><c> four.</c>

00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:27.360
And<00:54:26.079><c> they're</c><00:54:26.239><c> walking</c><00:54:26.380><c> around.</c>

00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:28.900
Am<00:54:27.659><c> I</c><00:54:27.780><c> seeing</c><00:54:27.980><c> right?</c>

00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:30.059
I'm<00:54:29.440><c> not</c><00:54:29.639><c> quite</c><00:54:29.800><c> mad.</c>

00:54:30.260 --> 00:54:31.500
He<00:54:30.400><c> called</c><00:54:30.500><c> his</c><00:54:30.780><c> counselors</c><00:54:31.300><c> in.</c>

00:54:31.659 --> 00:54:34.340
They<00:54:31.840><c> had</c><00:54:31.960><c> a</c><00:54:32.219><c> council</c><00:54:32.500><c> there</c><00:54:33.059><c> of</c><00:54:33.679><c> his</c><00:54:33.920><c> wise</c><00:54:34.099><c> men.</c>

00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:36.579
He<00:54:34.840><c> thought</c><00:54:35.019><c> he'd</c><00:54:35.239><c> got</c><00:54:35.340><c> off</c><00:54:35.440><c> his</c><00:54:35.679><c> nana.</c>

00:54:37.300 --> 00:54:38.820
And<00:54:37.579><c> he's</c><00:54:37.760><c> talking</c><00:54:38.039><c> about</c><00:54:38.239><c> his</c><00:54:38.460><c> wise</c><00:54:38.679><c> men.</c>

00:54:38.940 --> 00:54:39.940
Am<00:54:39.079><c> I,</c><00:54:39.280><c> is</c><00:54:39.420><c> it</c><00:54:39.519><c> really</c><00:54:39.719><c> right?</c>

00:54:39.940 --> 00:54:41.159
Can<00:54:40.420><c> you</c><00:54:40.579><c> see</c><00:54:40.699><c> what</c><00:54:40.820><c> I</c><00:54:41.039><c> see?</c>

00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:42.940
Yeah,<00:54:41.619><c> they</c><00:54:41.780><c> said,</c><00:54:41.980><c> we</c><00:54:41.980><c> can.</c>

00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:46.280
And<00:54:43.719><c> he</c><00:54:43.860><c> said,</c><00:54:44.000><c> furthermore,</c><00:54:44.639><c> look</c><00:54:44.780><c> at</c><00:54:44.900><c> that</c><00:54:45.119><c> fourth</c><00:54:45.400><c> figure.</c>

00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:49.519
Look,<00:54:47.059><c> he</c><00:54:47.219><c> says,</c><00:54:47.920><c> in</c><00:54:48.059><c> verse</c><00:54:48.260><c> 25,</c><00:54:48.900><c> he</c><00:54:49.000><c> says,</c><00:54:49.280><c> look,</c>

00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:50.500
they<00:54:49.800><c> have</c><00:54:49.960><c> no</c><00:54:50.239><c> harm.</c>

00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:51.820
They're<00:54:51.079><c> walking</c><00:54:51.179><c> around</c><00:54:51.400><c> in</c><00:54:51.599><c> the</c><00:54:51.679><c> fire.</c>

00:54:51.860 --> 00:54:52.539
They've<00:54:52.019><c> got</c><00:54:52.139><c> no</c><00:54:52.360><c> harm.</c>

00:54:52.739 --> 00:54:55.059
And<00:54:52.920><c> the</c><00:54:53.159><c> fourth</c><00:54:53.340><c> is</c><00:54:53.519><c> like</c><00:54:53.699><c> the</c><00:54:53.840><c> son</c><00:54:54.000><c> of</c><00:54:54.199><c> God.</c>

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:57.119
Now,<00:54:55.719><c> brothers</c><00:54:55.760><c> and</c><00:54:55.940><c> sisters,</c><00:54:56.780><c> you</c><00:54:56.860><c> know,</c>

00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:01.679
the<00:54:57.579><c> translators</c><00:54:58.039><c> here</c><00:54:58.639><c> have</c><00:54:59.099><c> put</c><00:54:59.519><c> the</c><00:55:00.159><c> son</c><00:55:00.440><c> of</c><00:55:00.719><c> God</c>

00:55:02.579 --> 00:55:04.659
because<00:55:02.980><c> they</c><00:55:03.239><c> like</c><00:55:03.360><c> to</c><00:55:03.659><c> believe</c><00:55:03.840><c> that</c><00:55:04.039><c> this</c><00:55:04.159><c> is</c><00:55:04.320><c> the</c><00:55:04.519><c> second</c>

00:55:04.659 --> 00:55:06.039
person<00:55:04.940><c> of</c><00:55:05.079><c> the</c><00:55:05.219><c> Trinity.</c>

00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:09.099
See,<00:55:07.380><c> and</c><00:55:07.599><c> the</c><00:55:07.739><c> Trinitarian</c><00:55:08.199><c> sees</c><00:55:08.519><c> upon</c><00:55:08.760><c> that</c><00:55:08.980><c> first.</c>

00:55:09.099 --> 00:55:11.440
They<00:55:09.179><c> say,</c><00:55:09.599><c> there</c><00:55:09.599><c> you</c><00:55:09.760><c> are,</c><00:55:10.119><c> Jesus</c><00:55:10.380><c> pre</c><00:55:10.739><c>-existed.</c>

00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:13.000
And<00:55:12.000><c> he's</c><00:55:12.179><c> the</c><00:55:12.320><c> second</c><00:55:12.480><c> part</c><00:55:12.639><c> of</c><00:55:12.739><c> a</c><00:55:12.860><c> Trinity</c>

00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:15.559
because<00:55:13.300><c> there</c><00:55:13.500><c> he</c><00:55:13.579><c> is</c><00:55:13.659><c> in</c><00:55:13.760><c> the</c><00:55:13.860><c> book</c><00:55:13.980><c> of</c><00:55:14.079><c> Daniel,</c><00:55:14.840><c> the</c><00:55:15.000><c> son</c><00:55:15.179><c> of</c><00:55:15.360><c> God.</c>

00:55:15.739 --> 00:55:17.579
But<00:55:15.880><c> you</c><00:55:16.000><c> know,</c><00:55:16.099><c> there's</c><00:55:16.340><c> no</c><00:55:16.599><c> definite</c><00:55:16.880><c> article</c><00:55:17.280><c> in</c><00:55:17.420><c> the</c>

00:55:17.579 --> 00:55:18.599
call,<00:55:17.860><c> dear.</c>

00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:21.639
The<00:55:19.880><c> word</c><00:55:20.059><c> God,</c><00:55:20.320><c> anyway,</c><00:55:20.559><c> is</c><00:55:20.719><c> plural.</c>

00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:26.519
And<00:55:22.659><c> really,</c><00:55:22.880><c> the</c><00:55:23.079><c> expression</c><00:55:23.400><c> is,</c><00:55:24.699><c> I</c><00:55:24.760><c> see</c><00:55:24.980><c> a</c><00:55:25.139><c> son</c><00:55:25.320><c> of</c><00:55:25.460><c> the</c><00:55:25.659><c> gods.</c>

00:55:27.099 --> 00:55:30.300
And<00:55:27.239><c> in</c><00:55:27.380><c> verse</c><00:55:27.539><c> 28,</c><00:55:28.559><c> the</c><00:55:28.699><c> same</c><00:55:28.980><c> King</c><00:55:29.219><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c>

00:55:30.300 --> 00:55:32.500
refers<00:55:30.760><c> to</c><00:55:30.980><c> him</c><00:55:31.199><c> as</c><00:55:31.380><c> an</c><00:55:31.619><c> angel.</c>

00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:35.219
So<00:55:32.800><c> he</c><00:55:32.880><c> didn't</c><00:55:33.099><c> believe</c><00:55:33.480><c> in</c><00:55:33.639><c> the</c><00:55:33.780><c> second</c><00:55:33.920><c> person</c><00:55:34.179><c> of</c><00:55:34.320><c> the</c><00:55:34.380><c> Trinity.</c>

00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:37.360
That's<00:55:36.639><c> not</c><00:55:36.780><c> what</c><00:55:36.920><c> it</c><00:55:37.099><c> means.</c>

00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.760
He<00:55:38.039><c> saw</c><00:55:38.260><c> a</c><00:55:38.420><c> son</c><00:55:38.639><c> of</c><00:55:38.780><c> the</c><00:55:39.000><c> gods</c><00:55:39.639><c> whom</c><00:55:40.059><c> he</c><00:55:40.340><c> identified,</c>

00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:43.800
rightly<00:55:41.179><c> in</c><00:55:41.340><c> verse</c><00:55:41.559><c> 28,</c><00:55:42.500><c> as</c><00:55:42.699><c> an</c><00:55:42.960><c> angel.</c>

00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:46.940
And<00:55:45.099><c> we're</c><00:55:45.219><c> going</c><00:55:45.340><c> to</c><00:55:45.400><c> talk</c><00:55:45.619><c> about</c><00:55:45.800><c> that</c><00:55:46.039><c> angel</c><00:55:46.219><c> a</c><00:55:46.360><c> bit</c><00:55:46.460><c> later</c>

00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:48.860
in<00:55:47.840><c> a</c><00:55:48.139><c> marvelous</c><00:55:48.480><c> chapter.</c>

00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:51.260
Oh,<00:55:49.460><c> gee,</c><00:55:50.019><c> we're</c><00:55:50.239><c> going</c><00:55:50.320><c> to</c><00:55:50.519><c> see</c><00:55:50.679><c> who</c><00:55:50.900><c> he</c><00:55:51.019><c> was</c>

00:55:51.260 --> 00:55:52.800
and<00:55:51.400><c> what</c><00:55:51.579><c> he</c><00:55:51.739><c> was</c><00:55:51.900><c> and</c><00:55:52.019><c> what</c><00:55:52.159><c> he</c><00:55:52.360><c> stood</c><00:55:52.539><c> for.</c>

00:55:53.019 --> 00:55:53.760
But<00:55:53.119><c> let</c><00:55:53.260><c> me</c><00:55:53.400><c> tell</c><00:55:53.519><c> you</c><00:55:53.579><c> this.</c>

00:55:53.820 --> 00:55:56.659
I<00:55:54.199><c> believe</c><00:55:54.460><c> with</c><00:55:54.639><c> all</c><00:55:54.760><c> my</c><00:55:54.900><c> heart</c><00:55:55.099><c> and</c><00:55:55.260><c> soul,</c><00:55:55.340><c> that's</c><00:55:55.780><c> Michael.</c>

00:55:57.460 --> 00:56:00.079
There<00:55:57.679><c> was</c><00:55:57.920><c> a</c><00:55:58.079><c> regal</c><00:55:58.340><c> appearance</c><00:55:58.760><c> about</c><00:55:59.000><c> that</c><00:55:59.239><c> angel.</c>

00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:01.559
It<00:56:00.800><c> struck</c><00:56:00.960><c> them</c><00:56:01.159><c> with</c><00:56:01.380><c> awe.</c>

00:56:01.860 --> 00:56:04.679
The<00:56:02.119><c> fourth</c><00:56:02.400><c> figure</c><00:56:02.659><c> in</c><00:56:02.840><c> there</c><00:56:02.920><c> was</c><00:56:03.099><c> an</c><00:56:03.300><c> awe</c><00:56:03.599><c>-inspiring</c><00:56:04.380><c> figure.</c>

00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:09.360
He's<00:56:05.400><c> called</c><00:56:05.539><c> in</c><00:56:05.699><c> the</c><00:56:05.780><c> Book</c><00:56:05.940><c> of</c><00:56:06.139><c> Isaiah</c><00:56:06.559><c> the</c><00:56:06.920><c> Angel</c><00:56:07.500><c> of</c><00:56:07.699><c> God's</c><00:56:08.239><c> Presence.</c>

00:56:09.500 --> 00:56:11.099
He<00:56:09.539><c> has</c><00:56:09.780><c> a</c><00:56:09.940><c> job</c><00:56:10.219><c> to</c><00:56:10.460><c> do</c><00:56:10.599><c> for</c><00:56:10.800><c> Israel.</c>

00:56:11.199 --> 00:56:12.420
But<00:56:11.300><c> we</c><00:56:11.460><c> won't</c><00:56:11.659><c> deal</c><00:56:11.840><c> with</c><00:56:12.000><c> that</c><00:56:12.159><c> now.</c>

00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:14.460
We'll<00:56:12.659><c> leave</c><00:56:12.860><c> that</c><00:56:13.059><c> for</c><00:56:13.260><c> a</c><00:56:13.360><c> later</c><00:56:13.559><c> study.</c>

00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:16.059
But<00:56:15.179><c> you</c><00:56:15.239><c> know,</c><00:56:15.559><c> brethren</c><00:56:15.659><c> and</c><00:56:15.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:17.920
I<00:56:16.239><c> want</c><00:56:16.440><c> to</c><00:56:16.579><c> point</c><00:56:16.800><c> out</c><00:56:16.940><c> to</c><00:56:17.019><c> you</c><00:56:17.260><c> here</c><00:56:17.460><c> now</c>

00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:56.400
Isaiah<00:57:55.460><c> had</c><00:57:55.699><c> said</c><00:57:55.920><c> that.</c>

That<00:57:56.900><c> God</c><00:57:57.099><c> would</c><00:57:57.460><c> preserve</c><00:57:58.079><c> the</c><00:57:58.340><c> nation</c><00:57:58.639><c> as</c><00:57:58.920><c> such.</c>

00:58:55.900 --> 00:58:59.940
when<00:58:56.420><c> Melchizedek</c><00:58:56.940><c> was</c><00:58:57.260><c> priest</c><00:58:57.719><c> of</c><00:58:57.960><c> the</c><00:58:58.079><c> most</c><00:58:58.519><c> high</c><00:58:58.960><c> God.</c>

00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:02.079
And<00:59:00.539><c> the</c><00:59:00.739><c> title</c><00:59:00.900><c> was</c><00:59:01.159><c> not</c><00:59:01.320><c> only</c><00:59:01.679><c> given</c>

00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:04.840

00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:07.579
but<00:59:05.480><c> there</c><00:59:05.619><c> was</c><00:59:05.880><c> no</c><00:59:06.199><c> other</c><00:59:06.619><c> God's</c><00:59:07.079><c> his</c><00:59:07.179><c> equal.</c>

00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:09.860
That<00:59:08.139><c> was</c><00:59:08.400><c> the</c><00:59:08.599><c> point</c><00:59:08.840><c> in</c><00:59:09.039><c> Genesis</c><00:59:09.420><c> 14.</c>

00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:11.539
It<00:59:09.920><c> was</c><00:59:10.039><c> one</c><00:59:10.219><c> of</c><00:59:10.320><c> the</c><00:59:10.440><c> points</c><00:59:10.619><c> in</c><00:59:10.800><c> Genesis</c><00:59:11.139><c> 14</c>

00:59:11.539 --> 00:59:12.559
that<00:59:11.639><c> was</c><00:59:11.800><c> made</c><00:59:12.000><c> to</c><00:59:12.260><c> Abraham</c>

00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:14.780
in<00:59:12.940><c> the</c><00:59:13.139><c> presence</c><00:59:13.300><c> of</c><00:59:13.480><c> the</c><00:59:13.539><c> king</c><00:59:13.760><c> of</c><00:59:14.019><c> Sodom.</c>

00:59:15.940 --> 00:59:17.079
And<00:59:16.099><c> here's</c><00:59:16.380><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c>

00:59:17.420 --> 00:59:19.820
the<00:59:17.559><c> dawn</c><00:59:17.860><c> of</c><00:59:18.159><c> realization</c><00:59:18.659><c> is</c><00:59:18.880><c> coming</c><00:59:19.059><c> upon</c><00:59:19.380><c> him,</c>

00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:21.420
that<00:59:20.099><c> there</c><00:59:20.380><c> is</c><00:59:20.860><c> no</c><00:59:21.039><c> other</c><00:59:21.199><c> God.</c>

00:59:21.579 --> 00:59:23.599
Who<00:59:21.980><c> is</c><00:59:22.280><c> this</c><00:59:22.539><c> God</c><00:59:22.820><c> that</c><00:59:23.000><c> shall</c><00:59:23.139><c> deal</c><00:59:23.340><c> with</c><00:59:23.440><c> you?</c>

00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:27.039
Now<00:59:23.940><c> he</c><00:59:24.119><c> calls</c><00:59:24.380><c> him</c><00:59:25.000><c> the</c><00:59:25.239><c> most</c><00:59:25.800><c> high</c><00:59:26.239><c> God.</c>

00:59:28.219 --> 00:59:31.300
Nebuchadnezzar,<00:59:28.920><c> brothers</c><00:59:29.119><c> and</c><00:59:29.300><c> sisters,</c><00:59:30.159><c> is</c><00:59:30.340><c> learning.</c>

00:59:31.860 --> 00:59:33.059
He's<00:59:32.099><c> learning.</c>

00:59:33.340 --> 00:59:34.679
But<00:59:33.400><c> look</c><00:59:33.519><c> what's</c><00:59:33.760><c> happening.</c>

00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:37.500
Look<00:59:36.099><c> at</c><00:59:36.199><c> the</c><00:59:36.320><c> record</c><00:59:36.699><c> Reeds.</c>

00:59:38.039 --> 00:59:40.179
Now<00:59:38.179><c> look</c><00:59:38.360><c> at</c><00:59:38.480><c> Reeds</c><00:59:38.820><c> through</c><00:59:39.059><c> verse</c><00:59:39.280><c> 26</c><00:59:39.719><c> again.</c>

00:59:40.420 --> 00:59:41.500
He<00:59:40.500><c> calls</c><00:59:40.760><c> to</c><00:59:40.940><c> the</c><00:59:41.099><c> three</c><00:59:41.260><c> men,</c>

00:59:41.659 --> 00:59:43.500
Ye<00:59:41.820><c> servants</c><00:59:42.039><c> of</c><00:59:42.239><c> the</c><00:59:42.280><c> most</c><00:59:42.599><c> high</c><00:59:42.780><c> God,</c>

00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:45.960
come<00:59:43.900><c> forth</c><00:59:44.420><c> and</c><00:59:44.780><c> come</c><00:59:45.159><c> thither.</c>

00:59:46.579 --> 00:59:52.519
Then,<00:59:49.079><c> that's</c><00:59:49.659><c> the</c><00:59:49.800><c> most</c><00:59:50.219><c> important</c><00:59:50.960><c> word</c><00:59:51.260><c> in</c><00:59:51.460><c> that</c><00:59:51.679><c> verse.</c>

00:59:53.539 --> 00:59:55.320
Then,<00:59:54.440><c> when?</c>

00:59:55.420 --> 00:59:56.760
When<00:59:55.699><c> he</c><00:59:55.780><c> called</c><00:59:56.000><c> them.</c>

00:59:58.659 --> 00:59:59.900
In<00:59:58.760><c> other</c><00:59:58.960><c> words,</c><00:59:59.280><c> brothers</c><00:59:59.380><c> and</c><00:59:59.579><c> sisters,</c>

01:00:00.179 --> 01:00:02.119
they<01:00:00.360><c> could</c><01:00:00.579><c> have</c><01:00:00.760><c> walked</c><01:00:01.019><c> out</c><01:00:01.280><c> of</c><01:00:01.420><c> that</c><01:00:01.679><c> fire</c>

01:00:02.619 --> 01:00:04.599
any<01:00:03.039><c> time</c><01:00:03.460><c> they</c><01:00:03.780><c> liked.</c>

01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:07.199
And<01:00:05.679><c> they're</c><01:00:05.820><c> walking</c><01:00:06.099><c> around</c><01:00:06.320><c> in</c><01:00:06.480><c> the</c><01:00:06.599><c> fire</c>

01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:09.599
waiting<01:00:07.880><c> for</c><01:00:08.079><c> him</c><01:00:08.239><c> to</c><01:00:08.420><c> call</c><01:00:08.599><c> them</c><01:00:08.780><c> out.</c>

01:00:10.300 --> 01:00:11.199
Now<01:00:10.440><c> I'll</c><01:00:10.519><c> show</c><01:00:10.659><c> you</c><01:00:10.760><c> this</c><01:00:10.860><c> in</c><01:00:10.960><c> a</c><01:00:11.039><c> minute.</c>

01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:12.480
It's<01:00:11.519><c> incredible.</c>

01:00:12.500 --> 01:00:13.699
They're<01:00:12.760><c> walking</c><01:00:12.860><c> around</c><01:00:13.099><c> waiting</c><01:00:13.380><c> for</c><01:00:13.579><c> him</c>

01:00:13.699 --> 01:00:14.460
and<01:00:13.780><c> they're</c><01:00:13.880><c> not</c><01:00:14.000><c> going</c><01:00:14.119><c> to</c><01:00:14.199><c> come</c><01:00:14.340><c> out</c>

01:00:14.460 --> 01:00:15.630
but<01:00:14.519><c> he</c><01:00:14.699><c> calls</c><01:00:14.920><c> them.</c>

01:00:16.340 --> 01:00:17.400
And<01:00:16.460><c> so</c><01:00:16.559><c> he</c><01:00:16.659><c> gives</c><01:00:16.860><c> a</c><01:00:17.019><c> command,</c>

01:00:17.900 --> 01:00:20.760
come<01:00:18.199><c> forth,</c><01:00:18.820><c> then</c><01:00:19.219><c> they</c><01:00:20.219><c> came</c><01:00:20.460><c> out.</c>

01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:24.920
Now<01:00:21.360><c> what</c><01:00:21.519><c> would</c><01:00:21.679><c> you</c><01:00:21.880><c> do</c><01:00:22.739><c> walking</c><01:00:23.579><c> around</c><01:00:23.780><c> in</c><01:00:23.900><c> that</c><01:00:24.059><c> fire?</c>

01:00:25.579 --> 01:00:26.780
All<01:00:25.699><c> right,</c><01:00:25.880><c> you've</c><01:00:26.099><c> got</c><01:00:26.219><c> faith.</c>

01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:28.780
You're<01:00:27.480><c> not</c><01:00:27.619><c> being</c><01:00:27.960><c> singed.</c>

01:00:30.300 --> 01:00:31.480
But<01:00:30.420><c> it's</c><01:00:30.579><c> a</c><01:00:30.719><c> fire.</c>

01:00:31.699 --> 01:00:32.880
It's<01:00:31.980><c> obviously</c><01:00:32.239><c> a</c><01:00:32.500><c> fire.</c>

01:00:33.300 --> 01:00:34.000
Now<01:00:33.480><c> I'd</c><01:00:33.699><c> be</c><01:00:33.840><c> thinking,</c>

01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:35.539
please<01:00:34.780><c> get</c><01:00:34.980><c> this</c><01:00:35.239><c> over</c><01:00:35.420><c> with.</c>

01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:38.079
Please,<01:00:36.320><c> let's</c><01:00:36.679><c> end</c><01:00:36.880><c> this</c><01:00:37.239><c> little</c><01:00:37.760><c> drama.</c>

01:00:38.260 --> 01:00:39.099
Let's<01:00:38.460><c> get</c><01:00:38.639><c> out</c><01:00:38.760><c> of</c><01:00:38.900><c> here.</c>

01:00:39.380 --> 01:00:40.699
No,<01:00:39.960><c> we</c><01:00:40.199><c> walk</c><01:00:40.420><c> around.</c>

01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:43.300
We<01:00:41.000><c> wait</c><01:00:41.360><c> until</c><01:00:41.619><c> he</c><01:00:41.880><c> says,</c><01:00:42.800><c> come</c><01:00:42.900><c> forth.</c>

01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:45.460
They're<01:00:43.800><c> not</c><01:00:43.960><c> going</c><01:00:44.079><c> to</c><01:00:44.159><c> come</c><01:00:44.300><c> out</c><01:00:44.420><c> until</c><01:00:44.539><c> he</c><01:00:44.659><c> does.</c>

01:00:45.900 --> 01:00:47.880
So<01:00:46.139><c> he's</c><01:00:46.659><c> compelled</c><01:00:47.039><c> in</c><01:00:47.219><c> the</c><01:00:47.340><c> end</c><01:00:47.460><c> to</c><01:00:47.659><c> say,</c>

01:00:48.219 --> 01:00:49.719
come<01:00:48.539><c> forth</c><01:00:48.820><c> and</c><01:00:48.980><c> they</c><01:00:49.199><c> came</c><01:00:49.460><c> out.</c>

01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:50.659
Then<01:00:50.059><c> they</c><01:00:50.320><c> did.</c>

01:00:51.099 --> 01:00:52.480
Now<01:00:51.320><c> look</c><01:00:51.500><c> what</c><01:00:51.639><c> he</c><01:00:51.719><c> says.</c>

01:00:53.539 --> 01:00:55.079
Verse<01:00:54.059><c> 28.</c>

01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:59.340
Then<01:00:56.480><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><01:00:57.179><c> spake</c><01:00:58.059><c> and</c><01:00:58.579><c> said,</c>

01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:02.800
blessed<01:01:00.360><c> be</c><01:01:00.619><c> the</c><01:01:00.739><c> God</c><01:01:00.940><c> of</c><01:01:01.159><c> Shadrach,</c><01:01:01.760><c> Meshach,</c><01:01:02.179><c> and</c><01:01:02.340><c> Abednego.</c>

01:01:03.300 --> 01:01:05.559
Imagine<01:01:03.719><c> that,</c><01:01:04.019><c> brethren</c><01:01:04.280><c> and</c><01:01:04.619><c> sisters,</c>

01:01:05.659 --> 01:01:08.059
echoing<01:01:06.179><c> across</c><01:01:06.619><c> the</c><01:01:06.880><c> plain</c><01:01:07.099><c> of</c><01:01:07.300><c> Eurah.</c>

01:01:09.420 --> 01:01:10.139
Imagine<01:01:09.840><c> that.</c>

01:01:10.300 --> 01:01:12.400
This<01:01:10.500><c> king</c><01:01:10.739><c> may</c><01:01:10.980><c> have</c><01:01:11.139><c> been</c><01:01:11.380><c> proud</c>

01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.219
but<01:01:13.360><c> he</c><01:01:13.480><c> was</c><01:01:13.719><c> a</c><01:01:13.880><c> man</c><01:01:14.039><c> that</c><01:01:14.179><c> was</c><01:01:14.400><c> affected.</c>

01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:16.519
He<01:01:15.920><c> did</c><01:01:16.139><c> acknowledge.</c>

That's<01:09:17.899><c> what</c><01:09:18.060><c> you</c><01:09:18.260><c> call</c><01:09:18.819><c> glorifying</c><01:09:19.680><c> God</c><01:09:19.920><c> in</c><01:09:20.079><c> our</c><01:09:20.260><c> body,</c><01:09:20.500><c> isn't</c><01:09:20.640><c> it?</c>

01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:24.140
It<01:09:22.140><c> brought</c><01:09:22.319><c> forth</c><01:09:22.600><c> that</c><01:09:22.939><c> sort</c><01:09:23.140><c> of</c><01:09:23.380><c> praise.</c>

01:09:24.579 --> 01:09:26.619
It<01:09:24.720><c> was</c><01:09:24.939><c> a</c><01:09:25.000><c> wonderful</c><01:09:25.439><c> acknowledgement,</c><01:09:26.340><c> brothers</c><01:09:26.460><c> and</c><01:09:26.600><c> sisters.</c>

01:09:26.619 --> 01:09:28.979
All<01:09:26.800><c> right,</c><01:09:26.979><c> he</c><01:09:27.020><c> promoted</c><01:09:27.399><c> them</c><01:09:27.760><c> to</c><01:09:27.920><c> high</c><01:09:28.100><c> honor.</c>

01:09:29.460 --> 01:09:33.079
But<01:09:29.640><c> first</c><01:09:29.880><c> and</c><01:09:30.100><c> foremost,</c><01:09:31.279><c> their</c><01:09:31.399><c> God</c><01:09:31.760><c> is</c><01:09:32.039><c> perfect.</c>

01:09:33.539 --> 01:09:36.079
And<01:09:33.680><c> that's</c><01:09:33.779><c> what</c><01:09:33.920><c> the</c><01:09:34.079><c> 32nd</c><01:09:34.539><c> chapter</c><01:09:34.699><c> of</c><01:09:34.819><c> Deuteronomy</c><01:09:35.159><c> said.</c>

01:09:36.479 --> 01:09:38.199
His<01:09:36.640><c> ways</c><01:09:36.880><c> are</c><01:09:37.180><c> perfect.</c>

01:09:38.460 --> 01:09:41.199
And<01:09:38.619><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><01:09:39.000><c> had</c><01:09:39.180><c> that</c><01:09:39.460><c> proclaimed</c><01:09:39.939><c> all</c><01:09:40.319><c> over</c><01:09:40.520><c> the</c><01:09:40.720><c> world</c>

01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:44.579
because<01:09:42.060><c> three</c><01:09:42.460><c> men</c><01:09:43.420><c> would</c><01:09:44.119><c> not.</c>

01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:48.180
They<01:09:45.260><c> refused,</c><01:09:45.960><c> brothers</c><01:09:46.079><c> and</c><01:09:46.279><c> sisters,</c><01:09:47.560><c> to</c><01:09:47.699><c> bow</c><01:09:47.880><c> down</c><01:09:48.060><c> to</c>

01:09:48.180 --> 01:09:49.199
the<01:09:48.399><c> flesh.</c>

01:09:49.260 --> 01:09:50.979
They<01:09:49.439><c> wouldn't</c><01:09:49.680><c> do</c><01:09:49.899><c> it.</c>

01:09:51.100 --> 01:09:53.579
They<01:09:51.380><c> wouldn't</c><01:09:51.659><c> bow</c><01:09:51.840><c> to</c><01:09:52.000><c> idolatry</c><01:09:52.699><c> and</c><01:09:53.020><c> they</c><01:09:53.199><c> wouldn't</c><01:09:53.399><c> give</c>

01:09:53.579 --> 01:09:54.659

01:09:55.239 --> 01:09:56.960
We<01:09:55.600><c> won't</c><01:09:55.859><c> do</c><01:09:56.020><c> it</c><01:09:56.140><c> because</c><01:09:56.439><c> of</c><01:09:56.600><c> your</c><01:09:56.800><c> idols</c>

01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:58.819
and<01:09:57.140><c> we</c><01:09:57.180><c> won't</c><01:09:57.359><c> do</c><01:09:57.500><c> it</c><01:09:57.539><c> because</c><01:09:57.720><c> of</c><01:09:57.960><c> you</c><01:09:58.180><c> and</c><01:09:58.380><c> your</c><01:09:58.539><c> attitude.</c>

01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:00.779
We<01:09:59.039><c> will</c><01:09:59.260><c> not</c><01:09:59.439><c> do</c><01:09:59.600><c> it.</c>

01:10:00.979 --> 01:10:02.140
And<01:10:01.100><c> when</c><01:10:01.260><c> we,</c><01:10:01.500><c> brothers</c><01:10:01.619><c> and</c><01:10:01.899><c> sisters,</c>

01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:11.399
then<01:10:10.000><c> we're</c><01:10:10.239><c> proving</c><01:10:10.539><c> something.</c>

01:10:11.460 --> 01:10:14.600
What<01:10:11.619><c> we're</c><01:10:11.840><c> proving</c><01:10:12.100><c> is</c><01:10:12.680><c> that</c><01:10:13.079><c> our</c><01:10:13.260><c> God</c><01:10:13.439><c> is</c><01:10:13.720><c> perfect.</c>
