And<00:08:47.389><c> so,</c><00:08:48.330><c> knowing</c><00:08:48.389><c> world</c><00:08:48.750><c> history,</c><00:08:50.129><c> all</c><00:08:50.350><c> you</c><00:08:50.509><c> have</c><00:08:50.730><c> to</c><00:08:50.909><c> do</c><00:08:51.029><c> is</c>

00:08:53.409 --> 00:08:56.649
that<00:08:54.230><c> went</c><00:08:54.529><c> in</c><00:08:54.750><c> succession</c><00:08:55.230><c> after</c><00:08:55.570><c> the</c><00:08:55.830><c> Babylonians,</c><00:08:56.570><c> were</c>

00:08:56.649 --> 00:08:58.629
the<00:08:56.809><c> Medes</c><00:08:57.009><c> and</c><00:08:57.090><c> the</c><00:08:57.269><c> Persians,</c><00:08:58.169><c> after</c><00:08:58.450><c> the</c>

00:09:03.230 --> 00:09:06.850
So<00:09:03.549><c> the</c><00:09:03.950><c> Bible,</c><00:09:04.330><c> though,</c><00:09:05.250><c> explains</c><00:09:05.470><c> all</c><00:09:05.769><c> this</c><00:09:05.990><c> ahead</c><00:09:06.309><c> of</c><00:09:06.549><c> time.</c>

00:09:07.169 --> 00:09:12.230
God<00:09:07.409><c> is</c><00:09:07.730><c> revealing</c><00:09:08.210><c> to</c><00:09:08.549><c> us</c><00:09:09.009><c> what</c><00:09:09.649><c> has</c><00:09:10.049><c> taken</c><00:09:10.350><c> place</c><00:09:11.070><c> before</c><00:09:11.970><c> it</c>

00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:16.210
And<00:09:13.850><c> so</c><00:09:14.009><c> this</c><00:09:14.210><c> is</c><00:09:14.490><c> hundreds</c><00:09:14.889><c> of</c><00:09:15.190><c> years</c><00:09:15.429><c> before</c><00:09:15.789><c> these</c><00:09:16.029><c> things</c>

00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:16.789
would<00:09:16.450><c> take</c><00:09:16.629><c> place.</c>

00:09:16.830 --> 00:09:21.190
In<00:09:16.970><c> fact,</c><00:09:17.190><c> it's</c><00:09:17.269><c> about</c><00:09:17.669><c> 300</c><00:09:18.149><c> years</c><00:09:19.149><c> before</c><00:09:19.950><c> the</c><00:09:20.570><c> Greek</c><00:09:20.830><c> empire</c>

00:09:21.190 --> 00:09:23.669
would<00:09:21.429><c> arise</c><00:09:21.950><c> when</c><00:09:22.210><c> Daniel</c><00:09:22.710><c> is</c><00:09:23.389><c> explaining</c>

00:09:41.629 --> 00:09:45.289
Daniel<00:09:41.990><c> 2</c><00:09:42.529><c> is</c><00:09:42.990><c> man's</c><00:09:43.549><c> view</c><00:09:43.970><c> of</c><00:09:44.230><c> the</c><00:09:44.429><c> kingdom</c><00:09:44.710><c> of</c><00:09:44.950><c> men.</c>

00:09:45.610 --> 00:09:49.570
It's<00:09:46.029><c> bright,</c><00:09:46.789><c> it's</c><00:09:47.190><c> shiny,</c><00:09:47.909><c> it's</c><00:09:48.129><c> made</c><00:09:48.309><c> of</c><00:09:48.509><c> gold</c><00:09:48.909><c> and</c><00:09:49.110><c> silver</c>

00:09:51.389 --> 00:09:55.190
and<00:09:51.870><c> polished,</c><00:09:52.870><c> and</c><00:09:53.350><c> that's</c><00:09:53.990><c> the</c><00:09:54.070><c> way</c><00:09:54.210><c> men</c><00:09:54.409><c> look</c><00:09:54.629><c> at</c><00:09:54.750><c> themselves.</c>

00:09:55.190 --> 00:09:57.049
We're<00:09:55.490><c> pretty</c><00:09:55.809><c> good.</c>

00:09:57.350 --> 00:09:59.269
God<00:09:57.570><c> doesn't</c><00:09:57.909><c> exactly</c><00:09:58.330><c> see</c><00:09:58.690><c> them</c><00:09:58.850><c> that</c><00:09:59.110><c> way.</c>

00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:03.830
So<00:09:59.429><c> when</c><00:09:59.649><c> Daniel</c><00:09:59.950><c> has</c><00:10:00.330><c> his</c><00:10:00.669><c> dream,</c><00:10:01.470><c> in</c><00:10:01.710><c> chapter</c><00:10:02.049><c> 7,</c><00:10:02.970><c> this</c><00:10:03.210><c> is</c><00:10:03.590><c> a</c>

00:10:04.649 --> 00:10:07.830
It's<00:10:04.970><c> a</c><00:10:05.070><c> terrifying</c><00:10:05.769><c> dream,</c><00:10:06.669><c> and</c><00:10:06.809><c> he</c><00:10:06.990><c> says</c><00:10:07.210><c> there,</c><00:10:07.570><c> it's</c><00:10:07.710><c> the</c>

00:11:15.409 --> 00:11:19.350
But<00:11:16.129><c> he</c><00:11:16.370><c> tells</c><00:11:16.750><c> you</c><00:11:17.110><c> in</c><00:11:17.309><c> verse</c><00:11:17.570><c> 16,</c><00:11:18.149><c> I</c><00:11:18.309><c> came</c><00:11:18.669><c> near</c><00:11:18.889><c> to</c><00:11:19.070><c> one</c><00:11:19.250><c> of</c>

00:11:24.269 --> 00:11:26.190
asks<00:11:24.710><c> him,</c><00:11:24.950><c> what</c><00:11:25.070><c> does</c><00:11:25.269><c> all</c><00:11:25.509><c> this</c><00:11:25.769><c> mean?</c>

00:11:26.649 --> 00:11:30.710
And<00:11:26.889><c> so</c><00:11:27.029><c> he</c><00:11:27.149><c> says,</c><00:11:28.309><c> the</c><00:11:28.309><c> great</c><00:11:28.710><c> beasts,</c><00:11:29.009><c> which</c><00:11:29.250><c> are</c><00:11:29.570><c> four,</c><00:11:30.370><c> are</c>

00:11:30.710 --> 00:11:33.789
four<00:11:31.250><c> kings</c><00:11:31.970><c> which</c><00:11:32.549><c> are</c><00:11:32.769><c> going</c><00:11:32.950><c> to</c><00:11:33.269><c> arise</c>

00:11:35.370 --> 00:11:39.309
So<00:11:35.610><c> these</c><00:11:35.850><c> are</c><00:11:36.110><c> four</c><00:11:36.429><c> kings</c><00:11:36.889><c> or</c><00:11:37.350><c> four</c><00:11:37.909><c> kingdoms</c><00:11:38.509><c> that</c><00:11:39.090><c> would</c>

come<00:11:39.549><c> along.</c>

00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:43.049
And<00:11:40.070><c> they</c><00:11:40.710><c> parallel</c><00:11:41.210><c> what</c><00:11:41.470><c> we</c><00:11:41.730><c> saw</c><00:11:41.850><c> in</c><00:11:41.990><c> Daniel</c><00:11:42.309><c> chapter</c><00:11:42.649><c> 2.</c>

00:11:43.049 --> 00:11:48.450
The<00:11:43.429><c> first</c><00:11:43.929><c> king</c><00:11:44.389><c> or</c><00:11:44.669><c> kingdom</c><00:11:45.169><c> was</c><00:11:45.669><c> the</c><00:11:45.889><c> Babylonians,</c><00:11:47.169><c> and</c><00:11:47.190><c> that's</c><00:11:47.549><c> the</c><00:11:47.649><c> one</c><00:11:47.809><c> depicted</c><00:11:48.210><c> by</c>

00:11:49.250 --> 00:11:49.809
the<00:11:49.409><c> wings.</c>

00:11:50.269 --> 00:11:52.909
Then<00:11:50.470><c> we</c><00:11:50.610><c> have</c><00:11:50.889><c> the</c><00:11:51.070><c> Medo</c><00:11:51.370><c>-Persians,</c><00:11:51.909><c> which</c><00:11:52.029><c> are</c><00:11:52.250><c> depicted</c><00:11:52.570><c> by</c>

00:11:52.909 --> 00:11:55.190
the<00:11:53.370><c> bear,</c><00:11:54.309><c> and</c><00:11:54.490><c> then</c><00:11:54.629><c> we</c><00:11:54.769><c> have</c><00:11:54.970><c> the</c>

00:11:55.190 --> 00:11:58.450
Greeks<00:11:55.429><c> which</c><00:11:55.710><c> are</c><00:11:55.929><c> depicted</c><00:11:56.330><c> by</c><00:11:56.629><c> the</c><00:11:57.169><c> leopard</c><00:11:57.429><c> with</c><00:11:57.669><c> the</c><00:11:57.850><c> four</c><00:11:58.049><c> heads</c><00:11:58.250><c> and</c>

00:11:58.450 --> 00:11:59.169
the<00:11:58.629><c> four</c><00:11:58.789><c> wings.</c>

00:11:59.590 --> 00:12:02.590
And<00:11:59.970><c> finally,</c><00:12:00.809><c> the</c><00:12:01.029><c> fourth</c><00:12:01.289><c> beast,</c><00:12:01.789><c> which</c><00:12:01.789><c> is</c><00:12:02.029><c> described</c><00:12:02.370><c> as</c>

00:12:02.590 --> 00:12:05.129
being<00:12:02.870><c> dreadful</c><00:12:03.409><c> and</c><00:12:03.649><c> terrible,</c><00:12:04.509><c> and</c><00:12:04.690><c> it</c><00:12:04.809><c> has</c>

00:12:05.129 --> 00:12:07.970
iron<00:12:05.570><c> teeth,</c><00:12:05.950><c> which</c><00:12:06.169><c> of</c><00:12:06.250><c> course</c><00:12:06.529><c> relate</c><00:12:06.870><c> it</c><00:12:07.029><c> to</c><00:12:07.129><c> the</c><00:12:07.370><c> iron</c><00:12:07.529><c> legs</c><00:12:07.769><c> of</c>

00:12:07.970 --> 00:12:11.570
the<00:12:08.149><c> image,</c><00:12:08.909><c> and</c><00:12:09.370><c> it</c><00:12:10.090><c> is</c><00:12:11.230><c> described</c>

00:12:11.570 --> 00:12:14.409
basically<00:12:12.169><c> as</c><00:12:12.909><c> breaking</c><00:12:13.250><c> in</c><00:12:13.549><c> pieces.</c>

00:12:14.509 --> 00:12:16.250
So<00:12:14.789><c> that's</c><00:12:15.149><c> the</c><00:12:15.330><c> Roman</c><00:12:15.629><c> Empire.</c>

00:12:16.730 --> 00:12:22.070
But<00:12:16.850><c> our</c><00:12:17.090><c> focus</c><00:12:17.350><c> this</c><00:12:17.629><c> evening</c><00:12:17.929><c> is</c><00:12:18.350><c> on</c><00:12:18.590><c> this</c><00:12:18.889><c> fourth</c><00:12:19.190><c> beast,</c><00:12:20.129><c> which</c><00:12:20.269><c> is</c><00:12:20.570><c> described,</c><00:12:21.169><c> he</c><00:12:21.190><c> says,</c><00:12:21.490><c> I</c><00:12:21.490><c> beheld</c>

00:12:22.070 --> 00:12:26.090
and<00:12:22.370><c> lo</c><00:12:22.549><c> another</c><00:12:23.149><c> like</c><00:12:23.629><c> a</c><00:12:23.909><c> leopard,</c><00:12:24.769><c> which</c><00:12:25.049><c> had</c><00:12:25.330><c> on</c><00:12:25.649><c> the</c><00:12:25.870><c> back</c>

00:12:26.090 --> 00:12:28.230
of<00:12:26.269><c> it</c><00:12:26.549><c> four</c><00:12:26.870><c> wings</c><00:12:27.169><c> of</c><00:12:27.409><c> a</c><00:12:27.590><c> fowl.</c>

00:12:28.350 --> 00:12:32.190
The<00:12:28.610><c> beast</c><00:12:28.929><c> had</c><00:12:29.169><c> also</c><00:12:29.690><c> four</c><00:12:29.990><c> heads,</c><00:12:30.330><c> and</c><00:12:30.690><c> dominion</c><00:12:31.570><c> was</c><00:12:31.929><c> given</c>

00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:32.970
unto<00:12:32.590><c> it.</c>

00:12:33.230 --> 00:12:36.950
So<00:12:33.509><c> that's</c><00:12:33.830><c> going</c><00:12:33.950><c> to</c><00:12:34.070><c> be</c><00:12:34.210><c> the</c><00:12:34.409><c> focus</c><00:12:34.850><c> of</c><00:12:35.250><c> our</c><00:12:35.870><c> thoughts</c><00:12:36.350><c> tonight,</c><00:12:36.769><c> is</c>

00:12:36.950 --> 00:12:39.029
this<00:12:37.490><c> third</c><00:12:37.830><c> beast,</c><00:12:38.090><c> sorry,</c><00:12:38.809><c> which</c>

00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:42.509
has<00:12:39.230><c> these</c><00:12:39.610><c> four</c><00:12:39.929><c> heads</c><00:12:40.289><c> and</c><00:12:40.850><c> these</c><00:12:41.250><c> four</c><00:12:41.590><c> wings.</c>

00:12:42.570 --> 00:12:45.590
So<00:12:42.649><c> that's</c><00:12:43.029><c> the</c><00:12:43.389><c> starting</c><00:12:43.970><c> point</c><00:12:44.730><c> where</c><00:12:44.909><c> we're</c><00:12:45.070><c> going</c><00:12:45.169><c> to</c><00:12:45.309><c> kind</c><00:12:45.590><c> of</c>

00:12:45.590 --> 00:12:47.450
jump<00:12:45.809><c> in</c><00:12:46.070><c> on</c><00:12:46.289><c> this</c><00:12:46.549><c> prophecy.</c>

00:12:47.909 --> 00:12:50.549
Now<00:12:48.070><c> when</c><00:12:48.149><c> you</c><00:12:48.309><c> look</c><00:12:48.450><c> at</c><00:12:48.570><c> this,</c><00:12:48.850><c> you</c><00:12:48.850><c> say,</c><00:12:49.009><c> okay,</c><00:12:49.129><c> that's</c><00:12:49.509><c> peculiar.</c>

00:12:50.649 --> 00:12:54.090
You<00:12:51.169><c> don't</c><00:12:51.429><c> often</c><00:12:51.850><c> see</c><00:12:52.190><c> creatures</c><00:12:52.830><c> running</c><00:12:53.429><c> around</c><00:12:53.850><c> with</c>

00:12:54.090 --> 00:12:55.289
four<00:12:54.389><c> heads.</c>

00:12:55.309 --> 00:12:57.549
So<00:12:55.830><c> when</c><00:12:56.029><c> we're</c><00:12:56.190><c> looking</c><00:12:56.450><c> at</c><00:12:56.629><c> this,</c><00:12:56.789><c> we</c><00:12:56.909><c> have</c><00:12:57.090><c> to</c><00:12:57.269><c> say,</c><00:12:57.409><c> well,</c>

00:12:57.549 --> 00:12:58.389
what<00:12:57.629><c> does</c><00:12:57.769><c> this</c><00:12:58.129><c> mean?</c>

00:12:58.450 --> 00:13:00.470
What<00:12:58.529><c> is</c><00:12:58.710><c> the</c><00:12:58.870><c> idea</c><00:12:59.190><c> of</c><00:12:59.490><c> wings?</c>

00:13:00.570 --> 00:13:04.990
Well,<00:13:01.070><c> in</c><00:13:01.330><c> the</c><00:13:02.210><c> Bible,</c><00:13:02.850><c> wings</c><00:13:03.110><c> are</c><00:13:03.409><c> often</c><00:13:03.629><c> used</c><00:13:04.049><c> as</c><00:13:04.389><c> a</c><00:13:04.690><c> symbol</c>

of<00:13:05.370><c> power.</c>

00:13:06.970 --> 00:13:10.850
Sometimes<00:13:07.529><c> it's</c><00:13:07.850><c> a</c><00:13:07.990><c> protective</c><00:13:08.509><c> power,</c><00:13:09.169><c> and</c><00:13:09.870><c> sometimes</c><00:13:10.409><c> it's</c>

00:13:26.470 --> 00:13:30.610
So<00:13:26.690><c> in</c><00:13:26.789><c> this</c><00:13:27.070><c> case,</c><00:13:27.529><c> he</c><00:13:27.549><c> says,</c><00:13:28.110><c> look,</c><00:13:28.629><c> God</c><00:13:29.090><c> has</c><00:13:29.830><c> symbolically</c>

00:13:30.610 --> 00:13:33.450
wings<00:13:31.129><c> that</c><00:13:31.450><c> he</c><00:13:31.870><c> uses</c><00:13:32.190><c> to</c><00:13:32.570><c> protect</c><00:13:33.029><c> people.</c>

00:13:33.450 --> 00:13:36.029
And<00:13:33.950><c> the</c><00:13:34.049><c> Lord</c><00:13:34.210><c> Jesus</c><00:13:34.570><c> Christ</c><00:13:34.870><c> picks</c><00:13:35.110><c> up</c><00:13:35.350><c> on</c><00:13:35.549><c> this</c><00:13:35.730><c> when</c><00:13:35.850><c> he</c>

00:13:36.029 --> 00:13:36.970
talks<00:13:36.269><c> about</c><00:13:36.509><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:40.230
He<00:13:37.110><c> says,</c><00:13:37.570><c> oh,</c><00:13:37.730><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:13:38.230><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:13:39.450><c> thou</c><00:13:39.549><c> that</c><00:13:39.850><c> killest</c>

00:13:40.230 --> 00:13:42.789
the<00:13:40.490><c> prophets,</c><00:13:40.909><c> how</c><00:13:41.309><c> often</c><00:13:42.029><c> would</c><00:13:42.450><c> I</c><00:13:42.590><c> have</c>

00:13:42.789 --> 00:13:45.909
gathered<00:13:43.110><c> you</c><00:13:43.350><c> together</c><00:13:43.830><c> like</c><00:13:44.350><c> a</c><00:13:44.610><c> hen</c><00:13:44.809><c> gathers</c><00:13:45.210><c> its</c><00:13:45.610><c> chicks</c>

00:13:45.909 --> 00:13:47.610
under<00:13:46.250><c> its</c><00:13:46.490><c> wings</c><00:13:46.789><c> and</c><00:13:47.029><c> protects</c><00:13:47.409><c> them.</c>

00:13:47.629 --> 00:13:50.090
He<00:13:47.730><c> says,</c><00:13:47.929><c> but</c><00:13:48.470><c> you</c><00:13:48.750><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:49.029><c> have</c><00:13:49.309><c> it.</c>

00:13:50.169 --> 00:13:54.149
So<00:13:50.490><c> instead</c><00:13:51.230><c> of</c><00:13:51.610><c> the</c><00:13:51.889><c> protection</c><00:13:52.289><c> of</c><00:13:52.570><c> God,</c><00:13:53.210><c> what</c><00:13:53.330><c> they</c><00:13:53.529><c> actually</c><00:13:53.830><c> got</c>

00:13:54.149 --> 00:13:55.909
was<00:13:54.409><c> the</c><00:13:54.889><c> Roman</c><00:13:55.289><c> armies</c><00:13:55.669><c> that</c>

00:13:55.909 --> 00:14:01.129
came<00:13:56.129><c> down</c><00:13:56.370><c> upon</c><00:13:56.710><c> them,</c><00:13:57.389><c> who</c><00:13:57.570><c> were</c><00:13:57.730><c> described</c><00:13:58.129><c> as</c><00:13:58.370><c> being</c><00:13:58.649><c> eagles</c><00:13:59.169><c> gathered</c><00:13:59.570><c> around</c><00:13:59.970><c> the</c><00:14:00.250><c> carcass.</c>

00:14:01.129 --> 00:14:04.049
And<00:14:01.409><c> it's</c><00:14:01.730><c> described</c><00:14:02.009><c> as</c><00:14:02.190><c> well</c><00:14:02.370><c> in</c><00:14:02.549><c> Deuteronomy,</c><00:14:03.570><c> a</c><00:14:03.669><c> nation</c>

00:14:04.049 --> 00:14:06.029
would<00:14:04.330><c> come</c><00:14:04.610><c> from</c><00:14:04.970><c> far,</c><00:14:05.409><c> in</c><00:14:05.590><c> Deuteronomy</c>

00:14:06.029 --> 00:14:09.389
28,<00:14:06.889><c> as</c><00:14:07.110><c> swift</c><00:14:07.429><c> as</c><00:14:07.649><c> the</c><00:14:07.889><c> eagles</c><00:14:08.129><c> who</c><00:14:08.529><c> flies.</c>

00:14:09.409 --> 00:14:13.169
So<00:14:09.690><c> this</c><00:14:09.950><c> idea</c><00:14:10.309><c> of</c><00:14:10.610><c> wings</c><00:14:10.990><c> is</c><00:14:11.330><c> the</c><00:14:11.549><c> idea</c><00:14:11.929><c> of</c><00:14:12.149><c> protection,</c><00:14:13.029><c> but</c>

00:14:13.169 --> 00:14:17.450
it's<00:14:13.389><c> also</c><00:14:13.769><c> the</c><00:14:14.029><c> idea</c><00:14:14.470><c> of</c><00:14:15.090><c> these</c><00:14:15.590><c> powers</c><00:14:16.309><c> that</c>

00:14:17.450 --> 00:14:19.330
can<00:14:17.730><c> protect</c><00:14:18.169><c> or</c><00:14:18.450><c> they</c><00:14:18.629><c> can</c><00:14:18.889><c> attack.</c>

00:14:19.649 --> 00:14:22.070
And<00:14:19.830><c> it's</c><00:14:20.110><c> described</c><00:14:20.450><c> further</c><00:14:20.750><c> when</c><00:14:20.909><c> we</c><00:14:21.029><c> get</c><00:14:21.210><c> to</c><00:14:21.350><c> this</c><00:14:21.570><c> goat</c>

00:14:22.070 --> 00:14:23.470
vision<00:14:22.409><c> later</c><00:14:22.750><c> on</c><00:14:22.990><c> that</c><00:14:23.090><c> we'll</c><00:14:23.210><c> talk</c>

00:14:23.470 --> 00:14:24.690
about<00:14:23.629><c> in</c><00:14:23.769><c> a</c><00:14:23.909><c> moment.</c>

00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:28.889
It<00:14:25.590><c> also</c><00:14:25.990><c> has,</c><00:14:26.629><c> though,</c><00:14:26.769><c> four</c><00:14:27.029><c> heads,</c><00:14:27.929><c> which</c><00:14:28.169><c> is,</c><00:14:28.509><c> again,</c>

00:14:29.169 --> 00:14:30.509
fairly<00:14:29.370><c> peculiar.</c>

00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:35.210
And<00:14:31.029><c> heads</c><00:14:31.450><c> are</c><00:14:32.049><c> usually</c><00:14:32.450><c> used</c><00:14:32.909><c> as</c><00:14:33.169><c> something</c><00:14:33.509><c> that,</c><00:14:33.830><c> you</c><00:14:33.990><c> know,</c><00:14:34.250><c> leads</c><00:14:34.730><c> the</c><00:14:34.950><c> body.</c>

00:14:35.350 --> 00:14:37.669
I<00:14:35.389><c> mean,</c><00:14:35.610><c> you</c><00:14:35.690><c> can</c><00:14:35.929><c> cut</c><00:14:36.110><c> a</c><00:14:36.169><c> lot</c><00:14:36.370><c> of</c><00:14:36.529><c> things</c><00:14:36.730><c> off</c><00:14:36.950><c> of</c><00:14:37.110><c> your</c><00:14:37.250><c> body,</c>

00:14:37.950 --> 00:14:40.230
but<00:14:38.110><c> if</c><00:14:38.269><c> you</c><00:14:38.509><c> remove</c><00:14:38.750><c> the</c><00:14:38.990><c> head,</c><00:14:40.110><c> it</c>

00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:43.350
pretty<00:14:40.490><c> well</c><00:14:40.769><c> finishes</c><00:14:41.129><c> the</c><00:14:41.370><c> whole</c><00:14:41.710><c> story,</c><00:14:42.009><c> doesn't</c><00:14:42.210><c> it?</c>

00:14:44.289 --> 00:14:46.509
Heads<00:14:44.789><c> are</c><00:14:45.190><c> something</c><00:14:45.570><c> that</c><00:14:45.809><c> give</c><00:14:45.990><c> direction.</c>

00:14:46.929 --> 00:14:49.669
In<00:14:47.090><c> Ezekiel</c><00:14:47.529><c> chapter</c><00:14:47.850><c> 10,</c><00:14:48.169><c> there</c><00:14:48.350><c> are</c><00:14:48.590><c> some</c><00:14:48.850><c> fairly</c><00:14:49.149><c> peculiar</c>

00:14:49.669 --> 00:14:52.149
creatures<00:14:50.129><c> called</c><00:14:50.669><c> the</c><00:14:50.950><c> carabim,</c><00:14:51.710><c> and</c>

00:14:52.149 --> 00:14:56.370
it's<00:14:52.549><c> described</c><00:14:53.289><c> that</c><00:14:53.529><c> these</c><00:14:53.870><c> carabim,</c><00:14:54.750><c> they</c><00:14:55.509><c> go</c><00:14:55.889><c> wherever</c>

00:14:56.370 --> 00:14:57.470
the<00:14:56.710><c> head</c><00:14:56.870><c> was</c><00:14:57.169><c> to</c><00:14:57.350><c> look.</c>

00:14:57.610 --> 00:15:00.190
So<00:14:57.690><c> whether</c><00:14:57.830><c> the</c><00:14:58.049><c> head</c><00:14:58.210><c> looks,</c><00:14:58.509><c> they</c><00:14:58.850><c> follow</c><00:14:59.110><c> it,</c><00:14:59.669><c> and</c><00:14:59.929><c> they</c>

00:15:00.190 --> 00:15:01.870
turn<00:15:00.429><c> not</c><00:15:00.710><c> whether</c><00:15:00.870><c> they</c><00:15:01.149><c> went.</c>

00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:03.009
It<00:15:02.250><c> makes</c><00:15:02.389><c> sense</c><00:15:02.649><c> to</c><00:15:02.850><c> us.</c>

00:15:03.129 --> 00:15:06.490
You<00:15:03.149><c> take</c><00:15:03.389><c> a</c><00:15:03.590><c> horse</c><00:15:03.769><c> out,</c><00:15:04.470><c> and</c><00:15:04.629><c> the</c><00:15:04.769><c> idea</c><00:15:05.149><c> is</c><00:15:05.429><c> to</c><00:15:05.649><c> point</c><00:15:05.830><c> the</c><00:15:06.169><c> head</c><00:15:06.330><c> of</c>

00:15:06.490 --> 00:15:07.710
the<00:15:06.649><c> horse</c><00:15:06.889><c> in</c><00:15:07.029><c> the</c><00:15:07.230><c> direction</c><00:15:07.509><c> you</c>

00:15:07.710 --> 00:15:08.450
want<00:15:07.950><c> to</c><00:15:08.149><c> go.</c>

00:15:08.809 --> 00:15:13.070
And<00:15:09.149><c> usually,</c><00:15:09.990><c> the</c><00:15:10.169><c> horse</c><00:15:10.350><c> will</c><00:15:10.509><c> do</c><00:15:10.730><c> that,</c><00:15:11.049><c> unless</c><00:15:11.309><c> I'm</c><00:15:11.629><c> riding</c><00:15:11.909><c> it,</c><00:15:12.169><c> and</c><00:15:12.289><c> then</c><00:15:12.409><c> it</c><00:15:12.470><c> will</c><00:15:12.549><c> go</c><00:15:12.669><c> in</c><00:15:12.769><c> a</c><00:15:12.870><c> different</c>

00:15:13.070 --> 00:15:13.750
direction<00:15:13.389><c> anyway.</c>

00:15:14.090 --> 00:15:15.090
But<00:15:14.350><c> that's</c><00:15:14.750><c> what</c><00:15:14.889><c> we</c><00:15:14.990><c> do.</c>

00:15:15.110 --> 00:15:17.269
We<00:15:15.190><c> put</c><00:15:15.370><c> bits</c><00:15:15.610><c> in</c><00:15:15.769><c> their</c><00:15:15.909><c> mouths,</c><00:15:16.129><c> and</c><00:15:16.309><c> you</c><00:15:16.570><c> steer</c><00:15:16.850><c> the</c><00:15:17.090><c> head,</c>

00:15:17.350 --> 00:15:19.649
because<00:15:17.570><c> wherever</c><00:15:17.809><c> the</c><00:15:18.129><c> head</c><00:15:18.350><c> is</c><00:15:19.070><c> pointing,</c>

00:15:19.649 --> 00:15:23.269
that<00:15:20.370><c> is</c><00:15:20.629><c> the</c><00:15:20.809><c> direction</c><00:15:21.250><c> that</c><00:15:21.470><c> the</c><00:15:21.690><c> animal</c><00:15:22.029><c> is</c><00:15:22.350><c> going</c><00:15:22.610><c> to</c><00:15:22.830><c> go</c><00:15:22.990><c> in.</c>

00:15:23.669 --> 00:15:26.549
So<00:15:23.789><c> when</c><00:15:23.929><c> you</c><00:15:24.070><c> have</c><00:15:24.250><c> this</c><00:15:24.470><c> idea</c><00:15:24.750><c> of</c><00:15:24.970><c> four</c><00:15:25.129><c> heads,</c><00:15:25.590><c> it's</c><00:15:25.730><c> the</c><00:15:25.950><c> idea</c><00:15:26.210><c> of</c>

00:15:26.549 --> 00:15:29.029
four<00:15:26.909><c> leaders,</c><00:15:27.889><c> or</c><00:15:28.269><c> four</c><00:15:28.730><c> ones</c>

00:15:29.029 --> 00:15:30.809

00:16:52.629 --> 00:16:55.909

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:52.490

00:19:08.390 --> 00:19:12.089
And<00:19:08.609><c> he</c><00:19:08.829><c> pulled</c><00:19:09.089><c> all</c><00:19:09.410><c> these</c><00:19:09.910><c> countries</c><00:19:10.390><c> together</c><00:19:11.150><c> so</c><00:19:11.650><c> that</c><00:19:11.769><c> by</c>

the<00:19:12.190><c> year</c><00:19:12.509><c> 336,</c><00:19:13.829><c> when</c><00:19:14.069><c> he</c><00:19:14.369><c> died,</c><00:19:15.630><c> it</c>

00:19:15.750 --> 00:19:19.230
was<00:19:16.109><c> somewhat</c><00:19:16.730><c> of</c><00:19:17.230><c> a</c><00:19:17.470><c> united</c><00:19:18.049><c> kingdom.</c>

00:19:19.569 --> 00:19:22.849
And<00:19:19.710><c> I</c><00:19:19.910><c> say</c><00:19:20.130><c> somewhat</c><00:19:20.710><c> because,</c><00:19:21.250><c> of</c><00:19:21.329><c> course,</c><00:19:21.710><c> the</c><00:19:21.869><c> Greeks</c><00:19:22.190><c> are</c>

00:19:22.849 --> 00:19:24.269
the<00:19:23.069><c> inventors</c><00:19:23.410><c> of</c><00:19:23.650><c> democracy.</c>

00:19:24.750 --> 00:19:29.549
And<00:19:25.250><c> it's</c><00:19:26.309><c> very</c><00:19:26.589><c> difficult</c><00:19:27.150><c> to</c><00:19:27.529><c> rule</c><00:19:28.049><c> over</c><00:19:28.569><c> people</c><00:19:28.930><c> who</c><00:19:29.309><c> want</c>

00:19:29.549 --> 00:19:31.009
a<00:19:29.769><c> rule</c><00:19:29.930><c> of</c><00:19:30.069><c> the</c><00:19:30.250><c> people.</c>

00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:33.849
So<00:19:31.349><c> what</c><00:19:31.470><c> ends</c><00:19:31.650><c> up</c><00:19:31.930><c> happening</c><00:19:32.130><c> is,</c><00:19:32.390><c> of</c><00:19:32.529><c> course,</c><00:19:32.829><c> there's</c><00:19:32.950><c> revolts</c><00:19:33.349><c> throughout</c><00:19:33.569><c> the</c>

00:19:33.849 --> 00:19:35.309
history<00:19:34.049><c> of</c><00:19:34.369><c> the</c><00:19:34.549><c> Greeks.</c>

00:19:35.750 --> 00:19:36.910
But<00:19:36.009><c> that's</c><00:19:36.230><c> what</c><00:19:36.470><c> Philip</c><00:19:36.670><c> did.</c>

00:19:36.910 --> 00:19:41.089
He<00:19:37.109><c> pulled</c><00:19:37.309><c> this</c><00:19:37.609><c> empire</c><00:19:37.930><c> together,</c><00:19:38.630><c> and</c><00:19:39.990><c> he</c><00:19:40.470><c> married</c><00:19:40.769><c> a</c>

00:19:41.089 --> 00:19:42.769

00:19:43.190 --> 00:19:45.750
This<00:19:43.750><c> wasn't</c><00:19:44.130><c> a</c><00:19:44.190><c> very</c><00:19:44.470><c> good</c><00:19:44.609><c> marriage.</c>

00:19:46.049 --> 00:19:50.369
She<00:19:46.210><c> was</c><00:19:46.430><c> the</c><00:19:46.589><c> daughter</c><00:19:46.930><c> of</c><00:19:47.349><c> a</c><00:19:47.509><c> Pyrrhus,</c><00:19:48.450><c> a</c><00:19:48.710><c> tribal</c><00:19:49.029><c> king.</c>

00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:54.470
And<00:19:50.910><c> unfortunately,</c><00:19:53.009><c> things</c><00:19:53.250><c> didn't</c><00:19:53.470><c> go</c><00:19:53.690><c> so</c><00:19:53.930><c> well</c><00:19:54.069><c> for</c><00:19:54.230><c> her</c>

00:19:54.470 --> 00:19:55.009
at<00:19:54.710><c> first.</c>

00:19:55.410 --> 00:19:58.750
She<00:19:55.569><c> was</c><00:19:55.789><c> the</c><00:19:56.009><c> mother</c><00:19:56.470><c> of</c><00:19:56.950><c> a</c><00:19:57.029><c> man</c><00:19:57.250><c> called</c><00:19:57.650><c> Alexander</c><00:19:58.150><c> the</c><00:19:58.410><c> Great,</c><00:19:58.710><c> who</c>

00:20:02.109 --> 00:20:05.509
But<00:20:02.430><c> the</c><00:20:02.630><c> problem</c><00:20:03.009><c> was</c><00:20:03.809><c> that</c><00:20:04.329><c> Philip</c><00:20:04.609><c> went</c><00:20:04.890><c> on</c><00:20:05.089><c> to</c><00:20:05.250><c> marry</c>

00:20:19.130 --> 00:20:22.369
And<00:20:19.450><c> it's</c><00:20:19.990><c> believed</c><00:20:20.549><c> that</c><00:20:20.930><c> she</c><00:20:21.190><c> ordered</c><00:20:21.430><c> the</c><00:20:21.710><c> assassination</c>

of<00:20:22.630><c> Philip</c><00:20:22.809><c> down</c><00:20:23.049><c> the</c><00:20:23.250><c> road</c><00:20:23.670><c> in</c><00:20:24.109><c> around</c><00:20:24.430><c> 336</c><00:20:25.049><c> BC</c><00:20:25.529><c> because</c>

00:20:25.970 --> 00:20:28.910
she<00:20:26.349><c> feared</c><00:20:26.569><c> that</c><00:20:27.089><c> when</c><00:20:27.509><c> Cleopatra</c><00:20:28.069><c> had</c><00:20:28.250><c> a</c><00:20:28.430><c> son,</c><00:20:28.569><c> which</c><00:20:28.750><c> she</c>

00:20:28.910 --> 00:20:31.269
did,<00:20:29.670><c> that</c><00:20:29.829><c> he</c><00:20:30.009><c> would</c><00:20:30.289><c> become</c><00:20:30.549><c> the</c><00:20:30.829><c> legitimate</c>

00:20:31.269 --> 00:20:35.150
heir<00:20:31.569><c> to</c><00:20:31.710><c> the</c><00:20:31.809><c> Greek</c><00:20:32.109><c> throne</c><00:20:32.430><c> and</c><00:20:32.670><c> not</c><00:20:32.930><c> her</c><00:20:33.309><c> boy,</c><00:20:33.910><c> Alexander.</c>

00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:40.349
So<00:20:35.450><c> she</c><00:20:36.049><c> had</c><00:20:36.710><c> Philip</c><00:20:37.329><c> killed,</c><00:20:38.549><c> and</c><00:20:38.589><c> later</c><00:20:38.869><c> on</c><00:20:39.410><c> had</c><00:20:39.809><c> Cleopatra</c>

00:20:40.349 --> 00:20:43.369
killed<00:20:40.769><c> and</c><00:20:41.289><c> her</c><00:20:41.589><c> son</c><00:20:41.890><c> killed,</c><00:20:42.450><c> and</c><00:20:43.109><c> she</c>

00:20:43.369 --> 00:20:45.730
was<00:20:43.690><c> kind</c><00:20:43.869><c> of</c><00:20:44.029><c> not</c><00:20:44.329><c> the</c><00:20:44.529><c> nicest</c><00:20:44.829><c> person</c><00:20:45.230><c> in</c><00:20:45.410><c> the</c><00:20:45.490><c> world.</c>

00:20:46.089 --> 00:20:47.950
But<00:20:46.289><c> anyway,</c><00:20:46.549><c> that</c><00:20:46.730><c> was</c><00:20:46.890><c> sort</c><00:20:47.029><c> of</c><00:20:47.170><c> the</c><00:20:47.230><c> beginning</c><00:20:47.609><c> of</c><00:20:47.789><c> it.</c>

00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:50.710
And<00:20:48.210><c> this</c><00:20:48.450><c> here</c><00:20:48.630><c> in</c><00:20:48.730><c> the</c><00:20:48.910><c> background</c><00:20:49.309><c> is</c><00:20:49.569><c> the</c><00:20:49.829><c> tomb</c><00:20:50.049><c> of</c><00:20:50.309><c> Philip,</c><00:20:50.509><c> which</c>

00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:52.549
is<00:20:50.970><c> still</c><00:20:51.309><c> there</c><00:20:51.650><c> today.</c>

00:20:52.650 --> 00:20:55.829
So<00:20:53.009><c> archaeologists</c><00:20:53.609><c> have</c><00:20:53.869><c> dug</c><00:20:53.970><c> it</c><00:20:54.109><c> up,</c><00:20:54.710><c> and</c><00:20:54.990><c> this</c><00:20:55.329><c> is</c><00:20:55.450><c> what</c><00:20:55.549><c> it</c>

00:20:55.829 --> 00:20:57.049
sort<00:20:55.910><c> of</c><00:20:56.009><c> looks</c><00:20:56.190><c> like,</c><00:20:56.470><c> a</c><00:20:56.609><c> cutaway</c><00:20:56.910><c> of</c>

00:20:57.049 --> 00:20:59.990
what's<00:20:57.269><c> on</c><00:20:57.470><c> the</c><00:20:57.650><c> inside,</c><00:20:58.309><c> and</c><00:20:58.490><c> there's</c><00:20:58.650><c> all</c><00:20:58.849><c> kinds</c><00:20:59.049><c> of</c><00:20:59.190><c> different</c><00:20:59.450><c> treasures</c><00:20:59.730><c> in</c>

00:20:59.990 --> 00:21:02.230
there<00:21:00.569><c> that</c><00:21:01.529><c> basically</c>

00:21:02.230 --> 00:21:04.829
give<00:21:02.609><c> testament</c><00:21:03.089><c> to</c><00:21:03.470><c> his</c><00:21:03.829><c> reign.</c>

00:21:05.450 --> 00:21:10.430
Well,<00:21:05.650><c> Alexander</c><00:21:06.230><c> comes</c><00:21:06.650><c> onto</c><00:21:06.950><c> the</c><00:21:07.210><c> scene</c><00:21:07.690><c> really</c><00:21:08.410><c> early</c><00:21:09.329><c> on.</c>

00:21:10.470 --> 00:21:13.970
He<00:21:10.630><c> was</c><00:21:10.869><c> a</c><00:21:10.990><c> young</c><00:21:11.130><c> man,</c><00:21:11.589><c> and</c><00:21:11.769><c> we've</c><00:21:11.970><c> probably</c><00:21:12.109><c> heard</c><00:21:12.490><c> about</c><00:21:12.829><c> Aristotle.</c>

00:21:14.089 --> 00:21:16.109
Well,<00:21:14.250><c> Aristotle</c><00:21:14.750><c> was</c><00:21:14.970><c> his</c><00:21:15.170><c> teacher.</c>

00:21:16.490 --> 00:21:22.549
So<00:21:16.769><c> Philip,</c><00:21:16.950><c> being</c><00:21:17.210><c> a</c><00:21:17.410><c> king,</c><00:21:17.849><c> picked</c><00:21:17.930><c> a</c><00:21:18.230><c> very</c><00:21:18.549><c> famous</c><00:21:19.390><c> and</c><00:21:20.210><c> infamous</c><00:21:21.009><c> philosopher</c><00:21:22.369><c> of</c>

the<00:21:22.710><c> day</c><00:21:23.049><c> and</c><00:21:23.269><c> had</c>

00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:28.990
A<00:21:25.230><c> lot</c><00:21:25.369><c> of</c><00:21:25.529><c> people</c><00:21:25.730><c> believe</c><00:21:26.069><c> that</c><00:21:26.190><c> that</c><00:21:26.369><c> was</c><00:21:26.529><c> part</c><00:21:26.789><c> of</c><00:21:26.910><c> what</c><00:21:27.069><c> made</c><00:21:27.329><c> Alexander</c><00:21:27.750><c> so</c><00:21:27.970><c> successful.</c>

00:21:29.210 --> 00:21:35.349
But<00:21:29.529><c> at</c><00:21:29.970><c> the</c><00:21:30.089><c> age</c><00:21:30.329><c> of</c><00:21:30.630><c> 13,</c><00:21:32.630><c> Alexander</c><00:21:32.690><c> was</c><00:21:32.970><c> a</c><00:21:33.130><c> fairly</c><00:21:33.410><c> wild</c><00:21:33.849><c> young</c><00:21:34.170><c> man,</c><00:21:35.250><c> and</c>

because<00:21:57.049><c> it</c><00:21:57.730><c> was</c><00:21:57.970><c> just</c><00:21:58.329><c> unruly.</c>

00:21:59.549 --> 00:22:02.609
And<00:21:59.670><c> so</c><00:21:59.789><c> what</c><00:21:59.970><c> happened</c><00:22:00.289><c> was</c><00:22:00.730><c> Alexander</c><00:22:01.410><c> promised,</c><00:22:02.210><c> he</c><00:22:02.470><c> says</c>

00:22:08.329 --> 00:22:13.529
So<00:22:08.549><c> his</c><00:22:08.769><c> dad</c><00:22:08.970><c> thought</c><00:22:09.170><c> this</c><00:22:09.369><c> was</c><00:22:09.529><c> a</c><00:22:09.589><c> bit</c><00:22:09.710><c> of</c><00:22:09.829><c> a</c><00:22:09.950><c> joke,</c><00:22:10.829><c> and</c><00:22:11.430><c> said,</c><00:22:12.029><c> sure,</c><00:22:12.470><c> go</c><00:22:12.589><c> ahead,</c><00:22:12.930><c> give</c><00:22:13.049><c> it</c><00:22:13.190><c> a</c><00:22:13.349><c> shot,</c>

00:22:13.730 --> 00:22:15.029

00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:18.390
What<00:22:15.630><c> Alexander</c><00:22:16.170><c> had</c><00:22:16.470><c> realized</c><00:22:17.130><c> is</c><00:22:17.349><c> that</c><00:22:17.509><c> the</c><00:22:17.710><c> horse</c><00:22:17.890><c> kept</c><00:22:18.130><c> on</c>

00:22:18.390 --> 00:22:20.210
seeing<00:22:18.529><c> its</c><00:22:18.829><c> shadow,</c><00:22:19.609><c> and</c><00:22:19.849><c> as</c><00:22:20.009><c> soon</c><00:22:20.109><c> as</c>

00:22:20.210 --> 00:22:22.950
it<00:22:20.329><c> saw</c><00:22:20.509><c> its</c><00:22:20.730><c> shadow,</c><00:22:21.049><c> it</c><00:22:21.109><c> would</c><00:22:21.349><c> spook</c><00:22:21.670><c> and</c><00:22:21.789><c> it</c><00:22:21.950><c> would</c><00:22:22.170><c> run.</c>

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:25.509
So<00:22:23.170><c> he</c><00:22:23.410><c> turned</c><00:22:23.630><c> it</c><00:22:23.829><c> away</c><00:22:24.069><c> from</c><00:22:24.269><c> its</c><00:22:24.490><c> shadow</c><00:22:24.690><c> into</c><00:22:24.910><c> the</c><00:22:25.170><c> sun</c><00:22:25.329><c> so</c>

00:22:25.509 --> 00:22:26.950
it<00:22:25.589><c> couldn't</c><00:22:25.750><c> see</c><00:22:25.970><c> its</c><00:22:26.210><c> shadow,</c><00:22:26.569><c> and</c>

00:22:26.950 --> 00:22:29.250
then<00:22:27.150><c> it</c><00:22:27.329><c> calmed</c><00:22:27.470><c> right</c><00:22:27.750><c> down,</c><00:22:28.029><c> and</c><00:22:28.150><c> he</c><00:22:28.329><c> hopped</c><00:22:28.490><c> on</c><00:22:28.670><c> the</c><00:22:28.869><c> horse</c>

00:22:29.250 --> 00:22:33.490
and<00:22:29.990><c> spoke</c><00:22:30.470><c> soothingly</c><00:22:31.970><c> to</c><00:22:32.130><c> it</c><00:22:32.609><c> and</c><00:22:33.109><c> turned</c>

00:22:33.490 --> 00:22:36.569

And<00:24:53.009><c> he</c><00:24:53.109><c> reads</c><00:24:53.470><c> this,</c><00:24:53.829><c> or</c><00:24:54.049><c> hears</c><00:24:54.289><c> this</c><00:24:54.609><c> story,</c><00:24:54.990><c> or</c><00:24:55.109><c> sees</c><00:24:55.369><c> this</c>

00:24:57.609 --> 00:25:01.549
And<00:24:57.910><c> so</c><00:24:58.190><c> he</c><00:24:58.470><c> looks</c><00:24:58.690><c> up,</c><00:24:59.069><c> he</c><00:24:59.069><c> says,</c><00:24:59.930><c> and</c><00:25:00.130><c> he's</c><00:25:00.490><c> on</c><00:25:00.670><c> this</c><00:25:00.910><c> river</c>

00:25:12.130 --> 00:25:16.690
Now<00:25:12.670><c> that's</c><00:25:13.210><c> nothing</c><00:25:13.410><c> spectacular,</c><00:25:14.750><c> there</c><00:25:15.450><c> was</c><00:25:15.670><c> a</c><00:25:15.910><c> ram</c><00:25:16.089><c> that</c>

00:25:18.049 --> 00:25:22.049
But<00:25:18.230><c> the</c><00:25:18.390><c> interesting</c><00:25:18.789><c> thing</c><00:25:19.170><c> is</c><00:25:19.410><c> that</c><00:25:19.609><c> this</c><00:25:19.990><c> ram,</c><00:25:20.690><c> we're</c><00:25:21.069><c> told</c><00:25:21.549><c> what</c><00:25:21.809><c> it</c>

00:25:23.869 --> 00:25:26.549
So<00:25:24.089><c> if</c><00:25:24.210><c> you</c><00:25:24.230><c> look</c><00:25:24.369><c> down</c><00:25:24.490><c> to</c><00:25:24.589><c> verse</c><00:25:24.789><c> 20,</c><00:25:25.170><c> the</c><00:25:25.329><c> ram</c><00:25:25.609><c> which</c><00:25:25.789><c> you</c><00:25:26.109><c> saw,</c><00:25:26.549><c> he</c>

00:25:35.309 --> 00:25:38.569

00:26:59.309 --> 00:27:02.670
Personally,<00:26:59.509><c> I</c><00:26:59.789><c> question</c><00:27:00.309><c> the</c><00:27:00.549><c> wisdom</c><00:27:00.930><c> in</c><00:27:01.309><c> repeating</c><00:27:02.130><c> something</c><00:27:02.430><c> that</c>

That's<00:27:08.910><c> where</c><00:27:09.029><c> it</c><00:27:09.049><c> comes</c><00:27:09.309><c> from,</c><00:27:09.509><c> the</c><00:27:09.670><c> Battle</c><00:27:09.930><c> of</c><00:27:10.130><c> Marathon.</c>

00:27:10.589 --> 00:27:13.990
So<00:27:11.109><c> this</c><00:27:11.230><c> was</c><00:27:11.430><c> the</c><00:27:11.670><c> Persians</c><00:27:12.289><c> who</c><00:27:12.710><c> had</c><00:27:12.990><c> invaded</c><00:27:13.490><c> the</c><00:27:13.750><c> Greeks,</c>

00:27:17.289 --> 00:27:21.230

battle,<00:32:19.349><c> charging</c><00:32:19.829><c> himself</c><00:32:20.329><c> out</c><00:32:20.690><c> front</c>

00:32:20.930 --> 00:32:22.750
and<00:32:21.289><c> smashed</c><00:32:21.609><c> the</c><00:32:21.890><c> center</c><00:32:22.109><c> line</c><00:32:22.369><c> of</c><00:32:22.549><c> them.</c>

00:32:23.230 --> 00:32:32.849
And<00:32:23.450><c> so</c><00:32:23.750><c> it</c><00:32:24.130><c> was</c><00:32:24.369><c> quite</c><00:32:24.789><c> an</c><00:32:26.890><c> attack</c><00:32:27.410><c> that</c><00:32:27.630><c> took</c><00:32:27.849><c> place,</c><00:32:28.769><c> and</c><00:32:29.130><c> they</c><00:32:29.589><c> lost</c><00:32:30.190><c> miserably,</c><00:32:31.670><c> and</c><00:32:32.430><c> so</c>

00:32:32.849 --> 00:32:33.369
the<00:32:33.029><c> Persians</c>

00:32:33.369 --> 00:32:34.529

00:32:34.950 --> 00:32:39.930
So<00:32:35.230><c> Alexander</c><00:32:35.710><c> continued</c><00:32:36.309><c> on</c><00:32:36.609><c> here</c><00:32:36.890><c> through</c><00:32:37.210><c> Sardis</c><00:32:37.829><c> and</c><00:32:38.069><c> Ephesus,</c><00:32:39.069><c> down</c><00:32:39.470><c> to</c>

00:33:01.049 --> 00:33:06.029
to<00:33:01.369><c> Alexander,</c><00:33:03.710><c> and</c><00:33:03.869><c> Alexander</c><00:33:04.569><c> kind</c><00:33:04.750><c> of</c><00:33:05.309><c> repaid</c><00:33:05.609><c> the</c><00:33:05.809><c> favor</c>

00:33:06.029 --> 00:33:07.130
and<00:33:06.109><c> said,</c><00:33:06.410><c> all</c><00:33:06.410><c> right,</c><00:33:06.589><c> since</c><00:33:06.849><c> you've</c>

00:33:07.130 --> 00:33:09.970
surrendered<00:33:07.430><c> to</c><00:33:07.670><c> me,</c><00:33:08.390><c> you</c><00:33:09.009><c> can</c><00:33:09.250><c> still</c><00:33:09.390><c> be</c><00:33:09.589><c> queen.</c>

00:33:10.390 --> 00:33:12.630
And<00:33:10.710><c> this</c><00:33:11.029><c> became</c><00:33:11.369><c> a</c><00:33:11.630><c> pattern</c><00:33:11.849><c> that</c><00:33:12.069><c> he</c><00:33:12.150><c> would</c><00:33:12.430><c> follow.</c>

00:33:12.630 --> 00:33:16.210
Those<00:33:12.970><c> who</c><00:33:13.230><c> surrendered</c><00:33:13.630><c> to</c><00:33:13.890><c> him,</c><00:33:14.150><c> he</c><00:33:14.509><c> would</c><00:33:14.750><c> bring</c><00:33:14.930><c> them</c><00:33:15.109><c> into</c><00:33:15.349><c> his</c><00:33:15.650><c> entourage.</c>

00:33:16.509 --> 00:33:19.369
In<00:33:16.670><c> fact,</c><00:33:16.890><c> he</c><00:33:17.049><c> did</c><00:33:17.190><c> this</c><00:33:17.690><c> with</c><00:33:17.950><c> just</c><00:33:18.130><c> about</c><00:33:18.289><c> every</c><00:33:18.589><c> battle</c><00:33:18.930><c> that</c><00:33:19.109><c> he</c>

00:33:19.369 --> 00:33:21.630

00:33:21.630 --> 00:33:25.230

00:33:25.230 --> 00:33:26.150
would<00:33:25.410><c> just</c><00:33:25.609><c> kill</c><00:33:25.730><c> everybody</c>

00:33:26.150 --> 00:33:29.029
and<00:33:26.430><c> pile</c><00:33:26.549><c> their</c><00:33:26.690><c> heads</c><00:33:26.869><c> up</c><00:33:27.190><c> in</c><00:33:27.750><c> skull</c><00:33:28.049><c> piles.</c>

00:33:29.329 --> 00:33:32.049
What<00:33:29.589><c> Alexander</c><00:33:30.089><c> would</c><00:33:30.289><c> do</c><00:33:30.470><c> is</c><00:33:30.630><c> he'd</c><00:33:30.809><c> get</c><00:33:31.109><c> to</c><00:33:31.289><c> the</c><00:33:31.490><c> point</c><00:33:31.670><c> where</c><00:33:31.849><c> the</c>

00:33:32.049 --> 00:33:33.509
battle<00:33:32.190><c> was</c><00:33:32.430><c> pretty</c><00:33:32.690><c> well</c><00:33:32.990><c> won,</c>

00:33:33.769 --> 00:33:37.390
and<00:33:34.009><c> then</c><00:33:34.230><c> he</c><00:33:34.390><c> would</c><00:33:35.009><c> give</c><00:33:35.369><c> the</c><00:33:35.849><c> enemy</c><00:33:36.309><c> on</c><00:33:36.509><c> the</c><00:33:36.589><c> other</c><00:33:36.789><c> side</c><00:33:36.950><c> an</c><00:33:37.130><c> option.</c>

00:33:37.869 --> 00:33:41.009
We<00:33:38.109><c> can</c><00:33:38.289><c> either</c><00:33:38.569><c> kill</c><00:33:38.849><c> you</c><00:33:39.109><c> all,</c><00:33:39.630><c> or</c><00:33:39.809><c> you</c><00:33:39.849><c> can</c><00:33:40.029><c> join</c><00:33:40.190><c> us.</c>

00:33:40.950 --> 00:33:43.589
And<00:33:41.190><c> of</c><00:33:41.410><c> course,</c><00:33:41.769><c> most</c><00:33:41.849><c> people</c><00:33:42.089><c> went,</c><00:33:42.769><c> let</c><00:33:42.930><c> me</c><00:33:43.089><c> think</c><00:33:43.329><c> about</c>

00:33:43.589 --> 00:33:45.650
that,<00:33:44.089><c> and</c><00:33:44.430><c> decided</c><00:33:44.910><c> to</c><00:33:45.130><c> join</c><00:33:45.349><c> them.</c>

00:33:45.890 --> 00:33:48.930
So<00:33:46.109><c> Alexander's</c><00:33:46.849><c> armies</c><00:33:47.109><c> grew</c><00:33:47.589><c> quite</c><00:33:48.029><c> large.</c>

00:33:49.009 --> 00:33:53.490
So<00:33:49.289><c> he</c><00:33:49.569><c> passed</c><00:33:50.009><c> through</c><00:33:50.750><c> this</c><00:33:51.470><c> whole</c><00:33:51.730><c> area,</c><00:33:52.529><c> and</c><00:33:52.609><c> on</c><00:33:52.809><c> his</c><00:33:53.049><c> way,</c>

00:33:53.789 --> 00:33:55.710
he<00:33:53.869><c> came</c><00:33:54.170><c> to</c><00:33:54.309><c> this</c><00:33:54.490><c> place</c><00:33:54.750><c> called</c><00:33:55.130><c> Gordia,</c>

00:33:56.069 --> 00:33:57.650
where<00:33:56.289><c> there</c><00:33:56.450><c> was</c><00:33:56.670><c> this</c><00:33:57.029><c> Gordian</c><00:33:57.470><c> Knot.</c>

00:33:57.750 --> 00:33:59.730
You<00:33:57.809><c> may</c><00:33:57.990><c> have</c><00:33:58.109><c> heard</c><00:33:58.230><c> the</c><00:33:58.410><c> story</c><00:33:58.650><c> of</c><00:33:58.769><c> the</c><00:33:58.890><c> Gordian</c><00:33:59.250><c> Knot</c><00:33:59.529><c> and</c>

00:33:59.730 --> 00:34:01.250
how<00:33:59.910><c> Alexander</c><00:34:00.289><c> the</c><00:34:00.529><c> Great</c><00:34:00.710><c> came</c><00:34:01.029><c> there,</c>

00:34:01.250 --> 00:34:03.529
and<00:34:01.329><c> there</c><00:34:01.410><c> was</c><00:34:01.549><c> this</c><00:34:01.769><c> great</c><00:34:02.230><c> oracle,</c><00:34:02.869><c> and</c><00:34:03.029><c> there</c><00:34:03.170><c> was</c><00:34:03.250><c> this</c>

00:34:03.529 --> 00:34:05.670
knot<00:34:03.710><c> tied</c><00:34:04.009><c> to</c><00:34:04.170><c> this</c><00:34:04.430><c> chariot</c><00:34:04.829><c> that</c><00:34:05.009><c> was</c>

00:34:05.670 --> 00:34:08.050
tied<00:34:05.849><c> in</c><00:34:06.069><c> such</c><00:34:06.250><c> a</c><00:34:06.390><c> way</c><00:34:06.529><c> that</c><00:34:06.789><c> nobody</c><00:34:07.150><c> could</c><00:34:07.430><c> figure</c><00:34:07.630><c> out</c><00:34:07.869><c> how</c>

00:34:08.050 --> 00:34:09.110
to<00:34:08.230><c> undo</c><00:34:08.610><c> the</c><00:34:08.869><c> knot.</c>

00:34:09.110 --> 00:34:13.110
And<00:34:09.929><c> the</c><00:34:10.369><c> prophecy</c><00:34:10.769><c> was</c><00:34:11.170><c> that</c><00:34:11.309><c> whoever</c><00:34:11.650><c> undid</c><00:34:12.090><c> the</c><00:34:12.309><c> knot</c><00:34:12.469><c> would</c><00:34:12.889><c> be</c>

00:34:13.110 --> 00:34:15.030
the<00:34:13.289><c> ruler</c><00:34:13.670><c> of</c><00:34:14.110><c> the</c><00:34:14.349><c> whole</c><00:34:14.530><c> area.</c>

00:34:15.489 --> 00:34:18.550
So<00:34:15.789><c> Alexander</c><00:34:16.349><c> said,</c><00:34:16.889><c> well,</c><00:34:16.929><c> that's</c><00:34:17.250><c> pretty</c><00:34:17.550><c> easy,</c><00:34:18.409><c> whipped</c>

00:34:18.550 --> 00:34:20.329
out<00:34:18.730><c> his</c><00:34:19.030><c> sword,</c><00:34:19.630><c> and</c><00:34:19.869><c> chopped</c><00:34:20.010><c> the</c><00:34:20.210><c> knot</c>

00:34:20.329 --> 00:34:23.530
in<00:34:20.690><c> two,</c><00:34:21.389><c> and</c><00:34:21.630><c> therefore</c><00:34:22.050><c> undid</c><00:34:22.429><c> the</c><00:34:22.650><c> knot</c><00:34:22.849><c> and</c><00:34:23.010><c> went</c><00:34:23.170><c> on</c><00:34:23.349><c> to</c>

00:34:24.550 --> 00:34:30.349
So<00:34:24.869><c> from</c><00:34:25.590><c> here,</c><00:34:25.969><c> they</c><00:34:26.090><c> went</c><00:34:26.369><c> on</c><00:34:26.710><c> through</c><00:34:28.289><c> Gordia</c><00:34:29.130><c> down</c><00:34:29.989><c> to</c><00:34:30.210><c> a</c>

00:34:32.650 --> 00:34:37.389
probably<00:34:33.070><c> the</c><00:34:33.210><c> most</c><00:34:33.510><c> definitive</c><00:34:34.070><c> battle</c><00:34:34.590><c> of</c><00:34:35.050><c> this</c><00:34:37.050><c> whole</c>

00:34:37.389 --> 00:34:39.070

00:34:39.949 --> 00:34:44.309
