00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:07.100
Remember<00:10:04.220><c> the</c><00:10:04.460><c> story</c><00:10:04.620><c> of</c><00:10:04.879><c> Haman,</c><00:10:05.639><c> where</c><00:10:05.779><c> Haman</c><00:10:06.120><c> had</c><00:10:06.720><c> the</c><00:10:06.980><c> king</c>

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.379
When<00:10:11.539><c> it</c><00:10:11.620><c> was</c><00:10:11.940><c> discovered,</c><00:10:12.720><c> when</c><00:10:13.019><c> the</c><00:10:13.220><c> conspiracy</c><00:10:13.679><c> of</c><00:10:14.139><c> Haman</c>

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:17.159

00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.840
So<00:10:18.120><c> he</c><00:10:18.240><c> had</c><00:10:18.399><c> to</c><00:10:18.519><c> create</c><00:10:18.820><c> a</c><00:10:19.000><c> new</c><00:10:19.120><c> decree</c><00:10:19.620><c> where</c><00:10:20.279><c> the</c><00:10:20.440><c> Jews</c><00:10:20.620><c> could</c>

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:27.519
Nebuchadnezzar<00:10:26.519><c> would</c><00:10:26.700><c> laugh</c><00:10:26.940><c> at</c><00:10:27.080><c> something</c><00:10:27.279><c> like</c><00:10:27.440><c> that.</c>

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.440

Somebody<00:12:00.120><c> who</c><00:12:00.240><c> has</c><00:12:00.299><c> been</c><00:12:00.480><c> castrated,</c><00:12:01.879><c> or</c><00:12:02.059><c> who</c><00:12:02.159><c> has</c><00:12:02.419><c> been</c><00:12:03.379><c> deformed,</c>

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.220
In<00:12:07.720><c> Matthew</c><00:12:08.019><c> 19,</c><00:12:08.519><c> verse</c><00:12:08.679><c> 12,</c><00:12:09.860><c> it</c><00:12:09.940><c> says,</c>

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:13.360
For<00:12:10.340><c> there</c><00:12:10.480><c> are</c><00:12:10.720><c> some</c><00:12:10.980><c> eunuchs</c><00:12:11.399><c> which</c><00:12:12.039><c> were</c><00:12:12.320><c> so</c><00:12:12.799><c> born</c><00:12:13.200><c> of</c>

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.860
their<00:12:13.539><c> mother's</c><00:12:14.019><c> womb,</c>

00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:19.080
And<00:12:15.200><c> there</c><00:12:15.340><c> are</c><00:12:15.539><c> some</c><00:12:15.779><c> eunuchs</c><00:12:16.240><c> which</c><00:12:16.620><c> were</c><00:12:16.879><c> made</c><00:12:17.299><c> eunuchs</c><00:12:17.799><c> of</c><00:12:18.000><c> men,</c>

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:23.460
And<00:12:19.480><c> there</c><00:12:19.700><c> be</c><00:12:19.879><c> eunuchs</c><00:12:20.500><c> which</c><00:12:20.940><c> have</c><00:12:21.159><c> made</c><00:12:21.340><c> themselves</c><00:12:21.899><c> eunuchs</c><00:12:23.019><c> for</c>

the<00:12:23.600><c> kingdom</c><00:12:23.960><c> of</c><00:12:24.179><c> heaven's</c><00:12:25.100><c> sake.</c>

00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:27.840
So<00:12:26.000><c> the</c><00:12:26.120><c> first</c><00:12:26.360><c> type</c><00:12:26.539><c> of</c><00:12:26.700><c> eunuch</c><00:12:26.899><c> is</c><00:12:27.000><c> somebody</c><00:12:27.240><c> who</c><00:12:27.399><c> was</c><00:12:27.620><c> born</c>

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.220
that<00:12:28.080><c> way.</c>

00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:30.960
Somebody<00:12:28.460><c> who</c><00:12:28.620><c> was</c><00:12:28.759><c> born</c><00:12:29.179><c> with</c><00:12:29.620><c> a</c><00:12:29.759><c> deformity.</c>

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.960
The<00:12:31.360><c> second</c><00:12:31.559><c> type</c><00:12:31.779><c> of</c><00:12:31.960><c> eunuch</c><00:12:32.360><c> is</c><00:12:32.600><c> somebody</c><00:12:32.899><c> who</c><00:12:33.080><c> is</c><00:12:33.340><c> mutilated</c><00:12:34.120><c> by</c><00:12:34.919><c> men.</c>

00:12:36.019 --> 00:12:40.139
And<00:12:36.580><c> the</c><00:12:36.759><c> third</c><00:12:37.019><c> type</c><00:12:37.279><c> of</c><00:12:37.519><c> eunuch</c><00:12:37.720><c> is</c><00:12:38.299><c> the</c><00:12:38.500><c> spiritual</c><00:12:38.940><c> eunuch.</c>

00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.820
Somebody<00:12:40.220><c> who</c><00:12:40.500><c> has</c><00:12:40.799><c> cut</c><00:12:41.039><c> off</c><00:12:41.500><c> the</c><00:12:42.000><c> flesh</c><00:12:42.360><c> through</c><00:12:43.139><c> the</c><00:12:43.419><c> power</c>

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:44.860
of<00:12:44.379><c> the</c><00:12:44.620><c> spirit.</c>

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.000
Now,<00:12:45.379><c> this</c><00:12:45.539><c> man</c><00:12:45.820><c> Ash</c><00:12:46.139><c>-Panaz</c><00:12:46.580><c> was</c><00:12:46.919><c> one</c><00:12:47.179><c> of</c><00:12:47.299><c> the</c><00:12:47.480><c> first</c><00:12:47.860><c> two.</c>

00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.019
He<00:12:49.460><c> was</c><00:12:49.639><c> either</c><00:12:49.879><c> born</c><00:12:50.159><c> that</c><00:12:50.440><c> way,</c><00:12:51.220><c> or</c><00:12:51.340><c> he</c><00:12:51.460><c> was</c><00:12:51.679><c> made</c><00:12:51.899><c> that</c><00:12:52.200><c> way.</c>

00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:57.340
Now,<00:12:53.860><c> the</c><00:12:53.940><c> question</c><00:12:54.840><c> that</c><00:12:55.179><c> came</c><00:12:56.200><c> to</c><00:12:56.480><c> me,</c><00:12:56.860><c> and</c><00:12:56.960><c> the</c><00:12:57.120><c> expression</c>

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:57.720
came<00:12:57.539><c> to</c><00:12:57.600><c> me,</c>

00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.259
That<00:12:57.860><c> Daniel</c><00:12:58.179><c> was</c><00:12:58.759><c> a</c><00:12:59.100><c> eunuch.</c>

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.580
Because<00:13:00.779><c> of</c><00:13:01.179><c> the</c><00:13:01.360><c> expression</c><00:13:01.759><c> where</c><00:13:02.320><c> it</c><00:13:02.480><c> says</c><00:13:02.919><c> that</c><00:13:03.299><c> it</c><00:13:03.399><c> was</c>

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.600
the<00:13:03.820><c> chief</c><00:13:04.100><c> of</c><00:13:04.360><c> eunuchs,</c>

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.279
So<00:13:04.779><c> the</c><00:13:04.879><c> leaders</c><00:13:05.179><c> of</c><00:13:05.480><c> eunuchs</c><00:13:05.720><c> that</c><00:13:06.139><c> took</c><00:13:06.379><c> Daniel</c><00:13:06.779><c> and</c><00:13:06.940><c> his</c><00:13:07.139><c> three</c><00:13:07.340><c> friends</c><00:13:07.740><c> in</c>

00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.419
for<00:13:08.659><c> this</c><00:13:08.940><c> probationary</c><00:13:10.100><c> period.</c>

00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.679
Therefore,<00:13:10.960><c> if</c><00:13:11.100><c> the</c><00:13:11.299><c> chief</c><00:13:11.460><c> is</c><00:13:11.679><c> eunuchs</c><00:13:11.919><c> and</c><00:13:12.019><c> he's</c><00:13:12.220><c> chief</c><00:13:12.440><c> of</c>

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:13.340
the<00:13:12.879><c> eunuchs,</c>

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.700
Daniel<00:13:13.919><c> must</c><00:13:14.159><c> have</c><00:13:14.399><c> been</c><00:13:15.000><c> made</c><00:13:15.259><c> a</c><00:13:15.460><c> eunuch.</c>

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:18.440
Well,<00:13:16.000><c> he</c><00:13:16.139><c> certainly</c><00:13:16.340><c> wasn't</c><00:13:17.299><c> the</c><00:13:17.620><c> first</c><00:13:17.879><c> kind</c><00:13:18.120><c> of</c><00:13:18.259><c> eunuch.</c>

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.840
He<00:13:18.659><c> certainly</c><00:13:18.840><c> wasn't</c><00:13:19.059><c> born</c><00:13:19.340><c> that</c><00:13:19.600><c> way.</c>

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.860
We<00:13:20.159><c> know</c><00:13:20.279><c> he</c><00:13:20.399><c> wasn't</c><00:13:20.559><c> born</c><00:13:20.799><c> that</c><00:13:21.019><c> way</c><00:13:21.220><c> because</c><00:13:21.480><c> he</c><00:13:21.639><c> wouldn't</c>

00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:24.419
have<00:13:22.059><c> fit</c><00:13:22.259><c> the</c><00:13:22.799><c> characteristics</c><00:13:23.279><c> of</c><00:13:23.440><c> what</c><00:13:23.580><c> we</c><00:13:23.759><c> just</c><00:13:24.139><c> read.</c>

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.179
He<00:13:24.600><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:24.799><c> have</c><00:13:25.080><c> been</c><00:13:25.600><c> one</c><00:13:26.279><c> in</c><00:13:26.500><c> whom</c><00:13:26.600><c> there</c><00:13:26.820><c> was</c><00:13:27.000><c> no</c><00:13:27.259><c> blemish.</c>

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.519
The<00:13:29.200><c> second</c><00:13:29.399><c> type</c><00:13:29.600><c> is</c><00:13:29.799><c> the</c><00:13:29.940><c> suggestion</c><00:13:30.580><c> that</c><00:13:31.559><c> when</c><00:13:32.580><c> the</c><00:13:33.360><c> young</c>

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:34.120
men<00:13:33.639><c> were</c><00:13:33.799><c> captured,</c>

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.860
that<00:13:34.259><c> they</c><00:13:34.379><c> were</c><00:13:34.779><c> castrated.</c>

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:44.879
And<00:13:36.480><c> the</c><00:13:36.940><c> reasons</c><00:13:37.279><c> for</c><00:13:37.700><c> that</c><00:13:38.039><c> are,</c><00:13:39.960><c> first</c><00:13:40.100><c> of</c><00:13:40.259><c> all,</c><00:13:41.259><c> that</c><00:13:41.279><c> it</c>

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.240
would<00:13:45.980><c> take</c><00:13:46.340><c> away</c><00:13:46.539><c> their</c><00:13:46.799><c> manhood.</c>

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.379
It<00:13:47.539><c> would</c><00:13:47.700><c> take</c><00:13:47.940><c> away</c><00:13:48.120><c> their</c><00:13:48.360><c> rebellious</c><00:13:49.299><c> spirit.</c>

00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:54.980
That's<00:13:50.899><c> the</c><00:13:51.080><c> first</c><00:13:51.860><c> suggestion</c><00:13:52.360><c> as</c><00:13:52.679><c> to</c><00:13:52.840><c> why</c><00:13:53.000><c> that</c><00:13:53.820><c> would</c><00:13:53.980><c> be</c><00:13:54.179><c> true.</c>

00:13:55.899 --> 00:14:00.279
And<00:13:56.059><c> obviously,</c><00:13:56.360><c> the</c><00:13:56.899><c> second</c><00:13:57.139><c> one</c><00:13:57.360><c> being</c><00:13:58.059><c> that</c><00:13:59.539><c> he's</c><00:14:00.000><c> being</c>

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.820
led<00:14:00.620><c> by</c><00:14:01.259><c> the</c><00:14:02.059><c> chief</c><00:14:02.259><c> of</c><00:14:02.519><c> eunuchs.</c>

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:06.100
Therefore,<00:14:03.779><c> he</c><00:14:03.899><c> must</c><00:14:04.120><c> have</c><00:14:04.340><c> been</c><00:14:04.799><c> turned</c><00:14:05.039><c> into</c><00:14:05.360><c> a</c><00:14:05.519><c> eunuch</c><00:14:05.740><c> if</c>

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:09.779
he<00:14:06.220><c> wasn't</c><00:14:06.480><c> born</c><00:14:06.700><c> one,</c><00:14:06.840><c> which</c><00:14:07.000><c> he</c><00:14:07.220><c> obviously</c><00:14:08.159><c> wasn't.</c>

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.899
I<00:14:10.460><c> don't</c><00:14:10.620><c> think</c><00:14:10.720><c> he</c><00:14:10.879><c> was.</c>

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.639
I<00:14:12.980><c> don't</c><00:14:13.200><c> think</c><00:14:13.340><c> he</c><00:14:13.539><c> was</c><00:14:15.480><c> castrated.</c>

00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:19.480
The<00:14:17.059><c> reason</c><00:14:17.200><c> I</c><00:14:17.919><c> say</c><00:14:18.120><c> that</c><00:14:18.340><c> is</c><00:14:18.700><c> because,</c><00:14:18.980><c> first</c><00:14:19.100><c> of</c><00:14:19.200><c> all,</c><00:14:19.320><c> it</c>

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.159
still<00:14:19.600><c> wouldn't</c><00:14:19.799><c> fit</c><00:14:20.240><c> the</c><00:14:20.820><c> description.</c>

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:24.000
He<00:14:21.299><c> would</c><00:14:21.480><c> no</c><00:14:21.620><c> longer</c><00:14:21.820><c> be</c><00:14:22.159><c> an</c><00:14:22.340><c> undefiled</c><00:14:22.860><c> person,</c><00:14:23.600><c> Daniel</c><00:14:23.879><c> and</c>

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:24.340

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:52.720
Shadrach,<00:23:51.519><c> Meshach,</c><00:23:52.200><c> and</c><00:23:52.319><c> Abednego,</c>

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:54.059
which<00:23:52.960><c> is</c><00:23:53.099><c> what</c><00:23:53.220><c> my</c><00:23:53.380><c> brother</c><00:23:53.519><c> said</c><00:23:53.680><c> he</c><00:23:53.740><c> was</c><00:23:53.839><c> going</c><00:23:53.920><c> to</c><00:23:54.000><c> name</c>

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:54.779
his<00:23:54.200><c> first</c><00:23:54.400><c> three</c><00:23:54.619><c> kids,</c>

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:56.019
but<00:23:54.920><c> he</c><00:23:55.000><c> didn't</c><00:23:55.140><c> do</c><00:23:55.240><c> it.</c>

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.599
But<00:23:56.940><c> Daniel</c><00:23:57.279><c> purposed</c><00:23:57.779><c> in</c><00:23:57.960><c> his</c><00:23:58.240><c> heart</c>

00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.759
that<00:23:59.200><c> he</c><00:23:59.279><c> would</c><00:23:59.480><c> not</c><00:23:59.740><c> defile</c><00:24:00.079><c> himself</c><00:24:00.519><c> with</c><00:24:00.740><c> a</c><00:24:00.940><c> portion</c><00:24:01.279><c> of</c>

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.160
the<00:24:01.960><c> king's</c><00:24:02.380><c> meat,</c>

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:04.779
nor<00:24:03.380><c> with</c><00:24:03.519><c> the</c><00:24:03.740><c> wine</c><00:24:03.940><c> which</c><00:24:04.140><c> he</c><00:24:04.359><c> drank.</c>

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.700
Therefore<00:24:05.680><c> he</c><00:24:05.920><c> requested</c><00:24:06.440><c> of</c><00:24:06.660><c> the</c><00:24:06.859><c> prince</c><00:24:07.039><c> of</c><00:24:07.220><c> the</c><00:24:07.380><c> eunuchs</c>

00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:10.440
that<00:24:08.240><c> he</c><00:24:08.339><c> might</c><00:24:08.640><c> not</c><00:24:08.940><c> defile</c><00:24:09.380><c> himself.</c>

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.220
Well,<00:24:10.700><c> what</c><00:24:10.839><c> was</c><00:24:11.039><c> Daniel</c><00:24:11.359><c> trying</c><00:24:11.680><c> to</c><00:24:11.980><c> say?</c>

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.480
What<00:24:12.920><c> is</c><00:24:13.059><c> meant</c><00:24:13.259><c> by</c><00:24:13.779><c> defilement?</c>

00:24:15.619 --> 00:24:17.779
Generally,<00:24:16.500><c> when</c><00:24:16.680><c> you</c><00:24:16.779><c> hear</c><00:24:16.920><c> people</c><00:24:17.140><c> think</c><00:24:17.339><c> defilement,</c>

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:19.940
they<00:24:17.980><c> think</c><00:24:18.119><c> that's</c><00:24:18.619><c> a</c><00:24:18.759><c> bad</c><00:24:18.980><c> thing.</c>

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:22.319
And<00:24:20.539><c> if</c><00:24:20.680><c> I</c><00:24:20.819><c> take</c><00:24:21.019><c> that,</c><00:24:21.240><c> I'm</c><00:24:21.299><c> going</c><00:24:21.400><c> to</c><00:24:21.519><c> be</c><00:24:21.640><c> tainted</c><00:24:21.900><c> by</c><00:24:22.160><c> that.</c>

00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:23.839
Some<00:24:22.480><c> people</c><00:24:22.700><c> suggest</c><00:24:23.039><c> that</c><00:24:23.180><c> the</c><00:24:23.299><c> meat</c><00:24:23.380><c> was</c><00:24:23.579><c> bad.</c>

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:25.920
The<00:24:24.000><c> meat</c><00:24:24.079><c> wasn't</c><00:24:24.279><c> bad.</c><00:24:24.559><c> This</c><00:24:24.700><c> is</c><00:24:24.799><c> the</c><00:24:24.900><c> king's</c><00:24:25.160><c> meat.</c>

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:27.319
This<00:24:26.140><c> is</c><00:24:26.240><c> the</c><00:24:26.299><c> best</c><00:24:26.519><c> meat.</c>

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.680
This<00:24:28.319><c> is</c><00:24:28.640><c> prime</c><00:24:29.079><c> fillet.</c>

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.019
And<00:24:30.259><c> this</c><00:24:30.420><c> is</c><00:24:30.539><c> the</c><00:24:30.680><c> best</c><00:24:30.920><c> wine.</c>

00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:34.380
And<00:24:32.799><c> the</c><00:24:32.920><c> best</c><00:24:33.079><c> wine</c><00:24:33.259><c> is</c><00:24:33.420><c> good</c><00:24:33.559><c> wine.</c>

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:38.220
And<00:24:35.940><c> so</c><00:24:36.359><c> it</c><00:24:36.420><c> wasn't</c><00:24:37.059><c> that</c><00:24:37.359><c> it</c><00:24:37.660><c> was</c><00:24:37.839><c> defiled.</c>

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:39.440
And<00:24:38.420><c> then</c><00:24:38.579><c> the</c><00:24:38.640><c> suggestion,</c><00:24:39.140><c> well,</c>

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:44.059
maybe<00:24:39.960><c> this</c><00:24:40.339><c> meat</c><00:24:40.799><c> didn't</c><00:24:41.599><c> fit</c><00:24:41.920><c> the</c><00:24:42.119><c> Mosaic</c><00:24:42.539><c> Code</c><00:24:42.920><c> of</c><00:24:43.359><c> Laws.</c>

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.319
But<00:24:44.380><c> it</c><00:24:44.460><c> doesn't</c><00:24:44.599><c> say</c><00:24:44.839><c> that.</c>

00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:47.960
It<00:24:45.779><c> doesn't</c><00:24:46.019><c> say</c><00:24:46.420><c> the</c><00:24:46.839><c> specifics</c><00:24:47.200><c> of</c><00:24:47.380><c> what</c><00:24:47.599><c> meat</c><00:24:47.700><c> it</c><00:24:47.859><c> was.</c>

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.559
It<00:24:48.099><c> just</c><00:24:48.359><c> says</c><00:24:48.599><c> meat.</c>

00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.039
And<00:24:50.000><c> the</c><00:24:50.140><c> Jews</c><00:24:50.339><c> weren't</c><00:24:50.799><c> forbidden</c><00:24:51.160><c> from</c><00:24:51.400><c> eating</c><00:24:51.759><c> all</c><00:24:52.180><c> meat.</c>

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:55.039
So<00:24:53.680><c> it</c><00:24:53.779><c> wasn't</c><00:24:54.099><c> that.</c>

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:57.779
That's<00:24:55.619><c> not</c><00:24:55.819><c> what</c><00:24:56.180><c> defilement</c><00:24:56.799><c> is.</c>

00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:03.279
What<00:24:58.619><c> defilement</c><00:24:59.279><c> is,</c><00:24:59.839><c> is</c><00:25:00.140><c> how</c><00:25:00.440><c> is</c><00:25:00.720><c> that</c><00:25:01.359><c> going</c><00:25:01.740><c> to</c><00:25:02.039><c> affect</c><00:25:02.279><c> you?</c>

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:07.359
Not<00:25:04.839><c> how</c><00:25:05.059><c> is</c><00:25:05.160><c> the</c><00:25:05.420><c> meat</c><00:25:05.700><c> going</c><00:25:05.920><c> to</c><00:25:06.019><c> affect</c><00:25:06.200><c> your</c><00:25:06.420><c> body.</c>

00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.200
How<00:25:07.980><c> is</c><00:25:08.079><c> the</c><00:25:08.240><c> partaking</c><00:25:08.720><c> of</c><00:25:08.900><c> it</c><00:25:09.359><c> going</c><00:25:09.759><c> to</c><00:25:09.920><c> affect</c><00:25:10.079><c> your</c><00:25:10.359><c> faith?</c>

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:13.779
And<00:25:12.279><c> Daniel</c><00:25:12.640><c> recognized</c><00:25:13.299><c> something,</c>

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:16.539
because<00:25:14.380><c> the</c><00:25:14.779><c> humility</c><00:25:15.059><c> that</c><00:25:15.240><c> he</c><00:25:15.359><c> had</c><00:25:15.460><c> just</c><00:25:15.779><c> gone</c><00:25:16.099><c> through,</c>

00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:18.839
the<00:25:17.059><c> humiliation</c><00:25:17.619><c> that</c><00:25:17.799><c> he</c><00:25:17.940><c> had</c><00:25:17.980><c> just</c><00:25:18.180><c> gone</c><00:25:18.400><c> through,</c>

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.279
he<00:25:19.359><c> said,</c><00:25:19.599><c> I</c><00:25:19.720><c> can't</c><00:25:20.119><c> handle</c><00:25:20.880><c> that</c><00:25:21.519><c> meat.</c>

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:25.079
Weakness.

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.359
And<00:25:26.240><c> the</c><00:25:26.400><c> Lord</c><00:25:26.880><c> loves</c><00:25:27.960><c> weakness.</c>

00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.119
It<00:25:30.799><c> might</c><00:25:31.000><c> sound</c><00:25:31.259><c> strange</c><00:25:31.700><c> that</c><00:25:32.000><c> way,</c>

00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:36.099
but<00:25:33.319><c> weakness</c><00:25:34.059><c> glorifies</c><00:25:35.140><c> God.</c>

00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:40.599
It<00:25:37.259><c> is</c><00:25:37.519><c> in</c><00:25:37.759><c> weakness</c><00:25:38.140><c> that</c><00:25:38.380><c> we</c><00:25:38.579><c> say,</c><00:25:38.980><c> I</c><00:25:39.019><c> can't</c><00:25:39.440><c> handle</c><00:25:39.660><c> it.</c>

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:42.980
And<00:25:41.140><c> Daniel</c><00:25:41.380><c> looked</c><00:25:41.619><c> at</c><00:25:41.779><c> that</c><00:25:42.019><c> meat</c><00:25:42.119><c> as</c><00:25:42.299><c> good</c><00:25:42.519><c> as</c><00:25:42.599><c> it</c><00:25:42.839><c> was,</c>

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:45.519
and<00:25:43.140><c> he</c><00:25:43.140><c> says,</c><00:25:43.359><c> you</c><00:25:43.440><c> know</c><00:25:43.579><c> what,</c><00:25:43.779><c> if</c><00:25:43.920><c> I</c><00:25:44.559><c> take</c><00:25:44.799><c> of</c><00:25:44.920><c> that</c><00:25:45.140><c> meat</c>

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:47.920
and<00:25:46.339><c> drink</c><00:25:46.539><c> of</c><00:25:46.700><c> that</c><00:25:46.920><c> wine,</c>

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:50.579
then<00:25:48.099><c> eventually</c><00:25:48.720><c> I'm</c><00:25:49.380><c> going</c><00:25:49.519><c> to</c><00:25:49.660><c> be</c><00:25:50.000><c> Chaldean.</c>

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:52.920
I<00:25:51.059><c> am</c><00:25:51.319><c> going</c><00:25:51.480><c> to</c><00:25:51.720><c> believe</c><00:25:52.019><c> what</c><00:25:52.180><c> they</c><00:25:52.460><c> believe.</c>

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:57.059
I<00:25:53.380><c> am</c><00:25:53.539><c> going</c><00:25:53.660><c> to</c><00:25:53.799><c> be</c><00:25:53.940><c> so</c><00:25:54.160><c> impressed</c><00:25:54.920><c> by</c><00:25:55.599><c> what</c><00:25:55.779><c> they</c><00:25:56.039><c> offer</c>

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.700
that<00:25:58.240><c> I</c><00:25:58.380><c> am</c><00:25:58.519><c> going</c><00:25:58.619><c> to</c><00:25:58.740><c> be</c><00:25:58.960><c> defiled</c><00:25:59.359><c> by</c><00:25:59.579><c> it.</c>

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:02.880

00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.200
That'll<00:30:21.539><c> be</c><00:30:21.700><c> enough</c><00:30:21.880><c> for</c><00:30:22.000><c> ten</c><00:30:22.240><c> days.</c>

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:26.500
And<00:30:24.339><c> after</c><00:30:24.619><c> ten</c><00:30:24.839><c> days,</c>

00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:28.740
Daniel<00:30:26.819><c> and</c><00:30:27.000><c> his</c><00:30:27.160><c> friends</c><00:30:27.440><c> are</c><00:30:27.720><c> healthier</c>

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.819
than<00:30:30.240><c> all</c><00:30:30.559><c> the</c><00:30:30.740><c> other</c><00:30:31.759><c> people</c><00:30:32.160><c> in</c><00:30:32.339><c> the</c><00:30:32.480><c> king's</c><00:30:32.920><c> court.</c>

00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:35.259
Healthier.

00:30:35.420 --> 00:30:36.819
Healthier<00:30:35.759><c> because</c><00:30:36.119><c> you</c><00:30:36.539><c> would</c><00:30:36.720><c> think,</c>

00:30:36.819 --> 00:30:37.900
okay,<00:30:37.079><c> they</c><00:30:37.160><c> didn't</c><00:30:37.319><c> take</c><00:30:37.539><c> the</c><00:30:37.680><c> meat,</c>

00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:39.500
therefore<00:30:38.299><c> the</c><00:30:38.480><c> meat</c><00:30:38.599><c> must</c><00:30:38.819><c> have</c><00:30:38.940><c> been</c><00:30:39.099><c> bad.</c>

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:41.960
Well,<00:30:40.099><c> it</c><00:30:40.119><c> doesn't</c><00:30:40.319><c> say</c><00:30:40.480><c> the</c><00:30:40.640><c> other</c><00:30:40.799><c> people</c><00:30:40.980><c> were</c><00:30:41.140><c> unhealthy.</c>

00:30:43.339 --> 00:30:45.000
It<00:30:43.539><c> just</c><00:30:43.700><c> says</c><00:30:43.779><c> they</c><00:30:43.900><c> were</c><00:30:44.079><c> healthier.</c>

00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:46.740
So<00:30:45.960><c> you</c><00:30:46.240><c> look</c><00:30:46.420><c> at</c><00:30:46.539><c> it</c><00:30:46.619><c> and</c><00:30:46.619><c> you</c><00:30:46.680><c> say,</c>

00:30:46.779 --> 00:30:48.740
well,<00:30:47.160><c> then</c><00:30:47.220><c> I</c><00:30:47.880><c> should</c><00:30:48.019><c> be</c><00:30:48.160><c> a</c><00:30:48.299><c> vegetarian.</c>

00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:50.920
I<00:30:49.319><c> should</c><00:30:49.460><c> eat</c><00:30:49.799><c> nothing</c><00:30:50.019><c> but</c><00:30:50.220><c> vegetables</c><00:30:50.640><c> and</c><00:30:50.819><c> water.</c>

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:52.759
That's<00:30:51.400><c> not</c><00:30:51.680><c> the</c><00:30:51.920><c> point.</c>

00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:55.599
The<00:30:53.259><c> point</c><00:30:53.440><c> wasn't</c><00:30:53.779><c> the</c><00:30:54.000><c> vegetables</c><00:30:54.579><c> and</c><00:30:55.000><c> the</c><00:30:55.259><c> water.</c>

00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:58.460
The<00:30:56.319><c> point</c><00:30:56.599><c> was</c><00:30:57.059><c> they</c><00:30:57.339><c> had</c><00:30:57.640><c> made</c><00:30:57.839><c> the</c><00:30:58.140><c> commitment.</c>

00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.400
They<00:30:59.079><c> had</c><00:30:59.339><c> made</c><00:30:59.539><c> the</c><00:30:59.819><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.099
They<00:31:00.880><c> had</c><00:31:01.140><c> made</c><00:31:01.359><c> the</c><00:31:01.640><c> decision</c><00:31:01.940><c> to</c><00:31:02.140><c> put</c><00:31:02.400><c> their</c><00:31:02.740><c> lives</c>

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:04.799
in<00:31:03.240><c> the</c><00:31:03.400><c> hands</c><00:31:03.640><c> of</c><00:31:03.900><c> God.</c>

00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.000
Just<00:31:05.640><c> give</c><00:31:05.779><c> us</c><00:31:06.059><c> vegetables</c><00:31:06.500><c> and</c><00:31:06.720><c> water</c>

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.279
and<00:31:07.299><c> let's</c><00:31:07.539><c> see</c><00:31:07.779><c> what</c><00:31:08.059><c> happens.</c>

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:09.880
Give<00:31:08.460><c> us</c><00:31:08.640><c> ten</c><00:31:08.880><c> days.</c>

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:12.759
And<00:31:10.859><c> in</c><00:31:11.039><c> ten</c><00:31:11.180><c> days,</c><00:31:11.660><c> they're</c><00:31:11.940><c> better.</c>

00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:14.400
They're<00:31:13.420><c> healthier.</c>

00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:17.099
They're<00:31:15.140><c> better</c><00:31:15.339><c> off</c><00:31:15.599><c> in</c><00:31:15.819><c> ten</c><00:31:16.099><c> days.</c>

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:20.220
I<00:31:17.779><c> wonder</c><00:31:17.920><c> if</c><00:31:18.059><c> in</c><00:31:18.160><c> the</c><00:31:18.400><c> first</c><00:31:18.640><c> day</c><00:31:18.819><c> they</c><00:31:18.920><c> weren't</c><00:31:19.099><c> so</c><00:31:19.400><c> good.</c>

00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:23.259
I<00:31:20.940><c> wonder</c><00:31:21.160><c> if</c><00:31:21.319><c> in</c><00:31:21.400><c> the</c><00:31:21.619><c> third</c><00:31:21.859><c> day</c><00:31:22.079><c> they</c><00:31:22.279><c> struggled.</c>

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:26.480
I<00:31:23.779><c> wonder</c><00:31:24.019><c> if</c><00:31:24.160><c> in</c><00:31:24.259><c> the</c><00:31:24.599><c> fifth</c><00:31:24.839><c> day</c><00:31:25.099><c> they</c><00:31:25.180><c> were</c><00:31:25.500><c> starving.</c>

00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:30.220
And<00:31:27.920><c> by</c><00:31:28.099><c> the</c><00:31:28.319><c> tenth</c><00:31:28.519><c> days,</c><00:31:29.559><c> they</c><00:31:29.720><c> were</c><00:31:29.940><c> better.</c>

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:31.900
And<00:31:30.660><c> the</c><00:31:30.740><c> reason</c><00:31:30.940><c> I</c><00:31:31.119><c> wonder</c><00:31:31.279><c> that</c><00:31:31.519><c> is</c><00:31:31.700><c> because</c>

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:34.200
that's<00:31:32.160><c> the</c><00:31:32.279><c> way</c><00:31:32.420><c> faith</c><00:31:32.720><c> works</c><00:31:33.160><c> a</c><00:31:33.519><c> lot</c><00:31:33.720><c> of</c><00:31:33.880><c> ways.</c>

00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:35.799
When<00:31:34.660><c> we</c><00:31:34.839><c> want</c><00:31:35.019><c> things</c><00:31:35.220><c> for</c><00:31:35.460><c> ourselves,</c>

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.440
we<00:31:35.960><c> want</c><00:31:36.119><c> it</c><00:31:36.279><c> right</c><00:31:36.519><c> away.</c>

00:31:37.900 --> 00:31:39.480
So<00:31:38.059><c> we</c><00:31:38.259><c> see</c><00:31:38.420><c> instant</c><00:31:38.839><c> gratification.</c>

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:41.980
So<00:31:39.720><c> in</c><00:31:39.859><c> the</c><00:31:40.019><c> Psalms,</c><00:31:40.299><c> you</c><00:31:40.299><c> constantly</c><00:31:40.759><c> read</c><00:31:41.480><c> a</c><00:31:41.660><c> psalmist,</c>

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.779
David<00:31:42.460><c> as</c><00:31:43.059><c> well</c><00:31:43.240><c> as</c><00:31:43.339><c> others,</c><00:31:43.740><c> saying,</c>

00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:46.140
why<00:31:44.160><c> is</c><00:31:44.359><c> it</c><00:31:44.480><c> that</c><00:31:44.599><c> the</c><00:31:44.779><c> wicked</c><00:31:45.000><c> prosper</c>

00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:47.619
and<00:31:46.720><c> the</c><00:31:46.920><c> righteous</c><00:31:47.240><c> suffer?</c>

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:50.740
Well,<00:31:48.279><c> because</c><00:31:48.519><c> in</c><00:31:48.680><c> the</c><00:31:48.779><c> short</c><00:31:49.000><c> term,</c><00:31:49.240><c> it</c><00:31:49.279><c> looks</c><00:31:49.559><c> that</c><00:31:49.839><c> way.</c>

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.599
But<00:31:51.240><c> over</c><00:31:51.599><c> time,</c><00:31:52.339><c> when</c><00:31:52.559><c> you</c><00:31:52.740><c> look</c><00:31:52.940><c> at</c><00:31:53.059><c> your</c><00:31:53.339><c> life</c>

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:55.839
as<00:31:54.000><c> a</c><00:31:54.160><c> life</c><00:31:54.319><c> of</c><00:31:54.680><c> faith,</c><00:31:54.940><c> and</c><00:31:55.099><c> I</c><00:31:55.220><c> can</c><00:31:55.460><c> tell</c><00:31:55.619><c> you</c>

00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:57.380
it's<00:31:56.019><c> so</c><00:31:56.380><c> true</c><00:31:56.500><c> in</c><00:31:56.700><c> my</c><00:31:56.980><c> life,</c>

00:31:57.579 --> 00:32:00.619
because<00:31:57.880><c> I've</c><00:31:58.079><c> been</c><00:31:58.180><c> around</c><00:31:58.400><c> now</c><00:31:58.619><c> about</c><00:31:58.859><c> ten</c><00:31:59.160><c> years,</c>

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.380
And<00:32:05.440><c> ten</c><00:32:05.599><c> years</c><00:32:05.920><c> ago,</c><00:32:06.319><c> I</c><00:32:06.519><c> would</c><00:32:06.839><c> never</c><00:32:07.099><c> have</c><00:32:07.279><c> had</c>

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:09.980
the<00:32:07.660><c> peace</c><00:32:07.779><c> in</c><00:32:07.980><c> my</c><00:32:08.160><c> life,</c><00:32:08.299><c> and</c><00:32:08.460><c> I</c><00:32:08.640><c> am</c><00:32:08.819><c> not</c><00:32:09.059><c> a</c><00:32:09.279><c> perfect</c><00:32:09.480><c> person,</c>

00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:11.599
and<00:32:10.319><c> I</c><00:32:10.440><c> don't</c><00:32:10.619><c> have</c><00:32:10.819><c> absolute</c><00:32:11.220><c> peace.</c>

00:32:11.819 --> 00:32:14.160
But<00:32:12.000><c> my</c><00:32:12.259><c> life</c><00:32:12.440><c> in</c><00:32:12.640><c> ten</c><00:32:12.819><c> years</c><00:32:13.180><c> has</c><00:32:13.700><c> changed</c>

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.240
on<00:32:14.539><c> the</c><00:32:14.720><c> outside,</c><00:32:15.480><c> almost</c><00:32:15.759><c> not</c><00:32:15.980><c> at</c><00:32:16.140><c> all.</c>

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.160
I<00:32:16.500><c> work</c><00:32:16.579><c> in</c><00:32:16.680><c> the</c><00:32:16.799><c> same</c><00:32:17.000><c> place.</c>

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:20.799
I<00:32:19.039><c> have</c><00:32:19.200><c> the</c><00:32:19.440><c> same,</c><00:32:19.700><c> a</c><00:32:19.880><c> little</c><00:32:20.059><c> heavier.</c>

00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:26.599

00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.119
It's<00:32:29.039><c> so</c><00:32:29.440><c> different</c><00:32:30.200><c> today</c>

00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:33.200
than<00:32:31.720><c> it</c><00:32:31.940><c> was</c><00:32:32.160><c> just</c><00:32:32.480><c> ten</c><00:32:32.660><c> years</c><00:32:32.980><c> ago.</c>

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.940
Some<00:32:33.480><c> people</c><00:32:33.720><c> here</c><00:32:33.859><c> I</c><00:32:34.000><c> haven't</c><00:32:34.200><c> seen</c><00:32:34.440><c> in</c><00:32:34.599><c> those</c><00:32:34.839><c> ten</c><00:32:35.079><c> years.</c>

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:37.720
The<00:32:36.519><c> person</c><00:32:36.700><c> I</c><00:32:36.819><c> knew</c><00:32:36.940><c> ten</c><00:32:37.140><c> years</c><00:32:37.400><c> ago,</c>

00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.700
oh,<00:32:38.039><c> he</c><00:32:38.140><c> looks</c><00:32:38.259><c> kind</c><00:32:38.500><c> of</c><00:32:38.599><c> the</c><00:32:38.740><c> same.</c>

00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:42.000
You<00:32:41.079><c> know,</c><00:32:41.200><c> he</c><00:32:41.279><c> had</c><00:32:41.359><c> a</c><00:32:41.519><c> mustache</c><00:32:41.799><c> then,</c>

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:43.819
he's<00:32:42.059><c> got</c><00:32:42.180><c> a</c><00:32:42.259><c> mustache</c><00:32:42.619><c> now,</c><00:32:42.920><c> there's</c><00:32:43.140><c> nothing</c><00:32:43.299><c> changed.</c>

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:46.720
They'd<00:32:44.759><c> have</c><00:32:44.799><c> never</c><00:32:44.940><c> asked</c><00:32:45.160><c> me</c><00:32:45.259><c> to</c><00:32:45.319><c> come</c><00:32:45.420><c> up</c><00:32:45.579><c> and</c><00:32:45.700><c> speak.</c>

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:49.440
But<00:32:48.359><c> it's</c><00:32:48.519><c> not</c><00:32:48.700><c> the</c><00:32:48.859><c> same</c><00:32:49.019><c> in</c><00:32:49.200><c> here.</c>

00:32:49.619 --> 00:32:50.920
It's<00:32:49.859><c> totally</c><00:32:50.140><c> different</c><00:32:50.440><c> in</c><00:32:50.619><c> here.</c>

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:53.700
And<00:32:51.519><c> I</c><00:32:51.599><c> hope</c><00:32:51.720><c> ten</c><00:32:51.880><c> years</c><00:32:52.119><c> from</c><00:32:52.519><c> now,</c><00:32:52.740><c> it's</c><00:32:52.960><c> that</c><00:32:53.140><c> much</c><00:32:53.279><c> more</c><00:32:53.559><c> different,</c>

00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:55.079
because<00:32:53.980><c> it's</c><00:32:54.220><c> a</c><00:32:54.339><c> wonderful</c><00:32:54.720><c> life.</c>

00:32:55.339 --> 00:32:59.759
And<00:32:55.480><c> in</c><00:32:55.740><c> ten</c><00:32:55.920><c> days,</c><00:32:56.779><c> they</c><00:32:56.920><c> were</c><00:32:57.119><c> healthier</c><00:32:57.579><c> than</c><00:32:58.380><c> everybody</c><00:32:58.799><c> else.</c>

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:02.000
That's<00:33:00.119><c> what</c><00:33:00.240><c> the</c><00:33:00.480><c> Spirit</c><00:33:00.660><c> of</c><00:33:00.799><c> God</c><00:33:01.079><c> does.</c>

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:07.039
In<00:33:02.200><c> this</c><00:33:02.480><c> case,</c><00:33:03.619><c> it</c><00:33:04.140><c> exposes</c><00:33:04.839><c> itself</c><00:33:05.380><c> through</c><00:33:05.859><c> their</c><00:33:06.160><c> health.</c>

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:09.279
In<00:33:07.220><c> your</c><00:33:07.500><c> case,</c><00:33:08.059><c> it'll</c><00:33:08.400><c> expose</c><00:33:08.720><c> yourself,</c>

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:11.680
and<00:33:09.640><c> in</c><00:33:09.720><c> my</c><00:33:09.980><c> case,</c><00:33:10.299><c> through</c><00:33:10.460><c> the</c><00:33:10.700><c> peace</c><00:33:10.859><c> of</c><00:33:11.079><c> our</c><00:33:11.279><c> lives.</c>

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.119
That<00:33:12.299><c> doesn't</c><00:33:12.519><c> mean</c><00:33:12.660><c> we</c><00:33:12.759><c> don't</c><00:33:12.980><c> have</c><00:33:13.180><c> struggles.</c>

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:16.160
It<00:33:14.420><c> doesn't</c><00:33:14.640><c> mean</c><00:33:14.819><c> there</c><00:33:14.980><c> aren't</c><00:33:15.119><c> problems.</c>

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:18.859
You<00:33:16.259><c> know,</c><00:33:16.420><c> it</c><00:33:16.619><c> rains</c><00:33:16.839><c> on</c><00:33:17.079><c> the</c><00:33:17.240><c> just</c><00:33:17.500><c> and</c><00:33:17.700><c> the</c><00:33:17.920><c> unjust.</c>

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.980
But<00:33:19.200><c> your</c><00:33:19.339><c> life</c><00:33:19.480><c> is</c><00:33:19.779><c> changed</c><00:33:20.160><c> when</c><00:33:20.380><c> you</c><00:33:20.500><c> have</c><00:33:20.579><c> a</c><00:33:20.660><c> life</c><00:33:20.819><c> of</c><00:33:20.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:23.619
And<00:33:22.519><c> it's</c><00:33:22.779><c> changed</c><00:33:22.940><c> for</c><00:33:23.119><c> the</c><00:33:23.240><c> better.</c>

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:25.619
If<00:33:24.220><c> you</c><00:33:24.359><c> have</c><00:33:24.500><c> the</c><00:33:24.720><c> patience,</c>

00:33:26.059 --> 00:33:27.720
if<00:33:26.240><c> you</c><00:33:26.380><c> have</c><00:33:26.519><c> the</c><00:33:26.759><c> temperament,</c>

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:30.859
if<00:33:28.079><c> you</c><00:33:28.240><c> have</c><00:33:28.359><c> the</c><00:33:28.599><c> faith</c><00:33:29.019><c> that</c><00:33:29.440><c> God</c><00:33:29.680><c> will</c><00:33:29.900><c> provide.</c>

00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:34.819
And<00:33:32.759><c> so</c><00:33:33.140><c> he</c><00:33:33.519><c> consented</c><00:33:33.940><c> to</c><00:33:34.119><c> them</c><00:33:34.299><c> in</c><00:33:34.420><c> this</c><00:33:34.640><c> matter</c>

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:37.019
and<00:33:35.099><c> proved</c><00:33:35.299><c> them</c><00:33:35.740><c> ten</c><00:33:36.000><c> days.</c>

00:33:37.420 --> 00:33:40.799
And<00:33:37.599><c> at</c><00:33:37.759><c> the</c><00:33:37.799><c> end</c><00:33:37.920><c> of</c><00:33:38.059><c> ten</c><00:33:38.160><c> days,</c><00:33:38.500><c> their</c><00:33:38.579><c> countenance</c><00:33:39.059><c> appeared</c><00:33:39.539><c> fairer.</c>

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:43.079
And<00:33:41.339><c> fatter</c><00:33:41.700><c> in</c><00:33:41.940><c> flesh</c><00:33:42.119><c> than</c><00:33:42.279><c> all</c><00:33:42.619><c> the</c><00:33:42.779><c> children</c>

00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:45.460
which<00:33:43.279><c> did</c><00:33:43.460><c> eat</c><00:33:43.579><c> the</c><00:33:43.740><c> portions</c><00:33:43.980><c> of</c><00:33:44.140><c> the</c><00:33:44.259><c> king's</c><00:33:44.599><c> meat.</c>

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:48.140
Thus,<00:33:46.059><c> Meltzer</c><00:33:46.339><c> took</c><00:33:46.579><c> away</c><00:33:46.819><c> the</c><00:33:46.960><c> portions</c><00:33:47.180><c> of</c><00:33:47.359><c> the</c><00:33:47.500><c> meat</c><00:33:47.640><c> and</c><00:33:47.839><c> wine</c>

00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:51.039
that<00:33:48.880><c> they</c><00:33:49.099><c> should</c><00:33:49.299><c> drink</c><00:33:49.539><c> and</c><00:33:49.680><c> gave</c><00:33:49.920><c> them</c><00:33:50.220><c> pulse</c><00:33:50.579><c> vegetables.</c>

00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:53.059
As<00:33:51.299><c> for</c><00:33:51.480><c> these</c><00:33:51.799><c> four</c><00:33:52.099><c> children,</c>

00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:58.359
God<00:33:54.019><c> gave</c><00:33:54.460><c> them</c><00:33:54.740><c> knowledge</c><00:33:55.299><c> and</c><00:33:56.200><c> skill</c><00:33:56.559><c> in</c><00:33:56.779><c> all</c><00:33:56.980><c> learning</c><00:33:57.259><c> and</c><00:33:57.460><c> wisdom.</c>

00:33:58.460 --> 00:34:01.039
And<00:33:58.720><c> Daniel</c><00:33:58.900><c> had</c><00:33:59.160><c> understanding</c><00:33:59.640><c> in</c><00:33:59.839><c> all</c><00:34:00.140><c> visions</c><00:34:00.460><c> and</c><00:34:00.759><c> dreams.</c>

00:34:01.140 --> 00:34:02.579
Now,<00:34:01.279><c> at</c><00:34:01.440><c> the</c><00:34:01.519><c> end</c><00:34:01.640><c> of</c><00:34:01.779><c> these</c><00:34:02.039><c> days,</c>

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:04.980
that<00:34:03.039><c> the</c><00:34:03.200><c> king</c><00:34:03.359><c> had</c><00:34:03.599><c> said</c><00:34:03.740><c> he</c><00:34:03.859><c> should</c><00:34:04.059><c> bring</c><00:34:04.299><c> them</c><00:34:04.519><c> in,</c>

00:34:05.140 --> 00:34:06.640
then<00:34:05.299><c> the</c><00:34:05.420><c> prince</c><00:34:05.559><c> of</c><00:34:05.700><c> the</c><00:34:05.839><c> eunuchs</c><00:34:05.980><c> brought</c><00:34:06.279><c> them</c><00:34:06.460><c> in</c>

00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:07.619
before<00:34:06.920><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:34:07.619 --> 00:34:08.900
And<00:34:07.740><c> the</c><00:34:07.799><c> king</c><00:34:08.019><c> communed</c><00:34:08.400><c> with</c><00:34:08.579><c> them,</c>

00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:11.320
and<00:34:09.460><c> among</c><00:34:09.679><c> them</c><00:34:09.980><c> all</c><00:34:10.199><c> was</c><00:34:10.519><c> found</c><00:34:10.800><c> none</c>

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.599
Therefore<00:34:16.019><c> stood</c><00:34:16.400><c> they</c><00:34:16.599><c> before</c><00:34:16.940><c> the</c><00:34:17.179><c> king.</c>

and<00:34:20.019><c> of</c><00:34:20.199><c> understanding</c><00:34:20.679><c> that</c><00:34:20.980><c> the</c><00:34:21.079><c> king</c><00:34:21.300><c> inquired</c><00:34:21.719><c> of</c><00:34:21.860><c> them,</c>

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.340
he<00:34:22.340><c> found</c><00:34:22.599><c> them</c><00:34:22.920><c> ten</c><00:34:23.239><c> times</c><00:34:23.739><c> better</c>

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:31.760
And<00:34:28.900><c> Daniel</c><00:34:29.199><c> continued</c><00:34:29.880><c> even</c><00:34:30.420><c> unto</c><00:34:30.599><c> the</c><00:34:30.760><c> first</c><00:34:31.039><c> year</c><00:34:31.219><c> of</c><00:34:31.420><c> Darius.</c>

00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:33.860
And<00:34:32.199><c> you</c><00:34:32.260><c> can</c><00:34:32.780><c> see</c><00:34:32.940><c> it.</c>

00:34:34.699 --> 00:34:37.059
The<00:34:34.860><c> Lord</c><00:34:35.079><c> God</c><00:34:35.460><c> gave</c><00:34:35.719><c> them</c><00:34:35.940><c> knowledge,</c>
