the<00:32:23.559><c> wisdom</c><00:32:23.859><c> of</c><00:32:24.039><c> God.</c>

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:27.740
Here's<00:32:25.720><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:32:26.319><c> trying</c><00:32:26.559><c> to</c><00:32:26.779><c> push</c><00:32:26.960><c> the</c><00:32:27.160><c> wisdom</c><00:32:27.519><c> of</c>

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:33.079
But<00:32:30.200><c> Daniel's</c><00:32:30.859><c> wiser</c><00:32:31.200><c> than</c><00:32:31.460><c> that.</c><00:32:31.640><c> He's</c><00:32:31.839><c> got</c><00:32:31.960><c> the</c><00:32:32.180><c> wisdom</c><00:32:32.460><c> of</c><00:32:32.740><c> God.</c>

00:32:33.380 --> 00:32:39.819
So<00:32:33.559><c> he</c><00:32:33.680><c> doesn't</c><00:32:34.119><c> go</c><00:32:34.440><c> along</c><00:32:34.839><c> with</c><00:32:35.440><c> that</c><00:32:35.660><c> compromise</c><00:32:36.380><c> and</c><00:32:37.000><c> he</c><00:32:37.500><c> triumphs</c><00:32:38.740><c> over</c><00:32:38.980><c> the</c><00:32:39.160><c> wisdom</c><00:32:39.420><c> of</c><00:32:39.660><c> men.</c>

What<00:33:20.000><c> does</c><00:33:20.119><c> that</c><00:33:20.380><c> represent?</c>

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:28.339
Well,<00:33:24.859><c> most</c><00:33:24.940><c> of</c><00:33:25.059><c> you</c><00:33:25.180><c> will</c><00:33:25.420><c> probably</c><00:33:25.759><c> know</c><00:33:26.460><c> what</c><00:33:26.619><c> that</c><00:33:26.980><c> represents.</c>

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:32.579

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:42.799

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:52.519
That's<00:34:49.219><c> the</c><00:34:49.320><c> Tower</c><00:34:49.559><c> of</c><00:34:49.840><c> Babel,</c><00:34:50.219><c> by</c><00:34:50.400><c> the</c><00:34:50.559><c> way,</c><00:34:50.960><c> the</c><00:34:51.179><c> bottom</c><00:34:51.440><c> picture.</c>

00:34:52.619 --> 00:34:55.679
Pretty<00:34:53.079><c> well</c><00:34:53.400><c> documented</c><00:34:53.920><c> now</c><00:34:54.260><c> as</c><00:34:54.420><c> to</c><00:34:54.519><c> what</c><00:34:54.599><c> it</c><00:34:54.760><c> was.</c>

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:59.679
I<00:34:56.659><c> think</c><00:34:56.940><c> some</c><00:34:57.199><c> of</c><00:34:57.360><c> these</c><00:34:58.420><c> sheets</c><00:34:58.840><c> are</c><00:34:59.039><c> not</c><00:34:59.199><c> quite</c><00:34:59.420><c> in</c><00:34:59.559><c> the</c>

right<00:34:59.860><c> order,</c>

00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:06.460
so<00:35:00.280><c> you</c><00:35:00.380><c> have</c><00:35:00.480><c> to</c><00:35:00.599><c> turn</c><00:35:00.900><c> over</c><00:35:01.179><c> to</c><00:35:01.860><c> get</c><00:35:02.199><c> that</c><00:35:02.559><c> page</c><00:35:03.159><c> with</c><00:35:03.500><c> the</c><00:35:03.679><c> image</c><00:35:04.219><c> of</c>

Daniel<00:35:06.980><c> 2.</c>

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:19.460
So<00:35:17.239><c> there's</c><00:35:17.880><c> the</c><00:35:18.219><c> explanation.</c>

00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:24.239
The<00:35:20.460><c> exciting</c><00:35:20.880><c> part</c><00:35:21.360><c> is</c><00:35:21.599><c> that</c><00:35:21.880><c> you</c><00:35:22.099><c> and</c><00:35:22.360><c> I</c><00:35:22.679><c> are</c><00:35:23.039><c> living</c><00:35:23.400><c> on</c><00:35:24.000><c> the</c>
