And<00:07:31.759><c> you</c><00:07:31.920><c> know</c><00:07:32.139><c> later,</c><00:07:33.379><c> they</c><00:07:33.699><c> repaid</c><00:07:34.079><c> the</c><00:07:34.300><c> favour</c><00:07:34.500><c> to</c><00:07:34.639><c> him.</c>

00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.439
That's<00:07:36.060><c> exactly</c><00:07:36.379><c> what</c><00:07:36.620><c> Babylon</c><00:07:36.980><c> did</c><00:07:37.240><c> to</c><00:07:37.459><c> Israel.</c>

00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.060
And<00:07:38.860><c> they</c><00:07:39.180><c> hate</c><00:07:39.639><c> God.</c>

00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:41.139
They<00:07:40.579><c> hate</c><00:07:40.920><c> him.</c>

00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:43.899
This<00:07:41.500><c> is</c><00:07:42.079><c> why</c><00:07:42.240><c> it</c><00:07:42.339><c> was</c><00:07:42.459><c> set</c><00:07:42.660><c> up</c><00:07:42.759><c> in</c><00:07:42.920><c> the</c><00:07:43.060><c> beginning.</c>

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:47.060
It's<00:07:44.240><c> all</c><00:07:44.639><c> against</c><00:07:45.019><c> God</c><00:07:45.379><c> and</c><00:07:45.560><c> his</c><00:07:45.699><c> people</c><00:07:46.060><c> and</c><00:07:46.259><c> his</c><00:07:46.459><c> ways</c><00:07:46.800><c> and</c>

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:49.399
his<00:07:48.079><c> commands.</c>

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:53.079
They<00:07:51.339><c> were</c><00:07:51.519><c> liars</c><00:07:51.839><c> and</c><00:07:52.079><c> murderers</c><00:07:52.360><c> from</c><00:07:52.579><c> the</c><00:07:52.699><c> beginning.</c>

00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.660
And<00:07:53.680><c> they</c><00:07:53.899><c> wanted</c><00:07:54.399><c> unity,</c><00:07:56.120><c> to</c><00:07:56.259><c> be</c><00:07:56.579><c> together,</c><00:07:57.120><c> to</c><00:07:57.379><c> stay</c><00:07:57.740><c> together,</c><00:07:58.420><c> we're</c>

00:07:58.660 --> 00:07:59.360
better<00:07:58.980><c> together.</c>

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.379
And<00:07:59.720><c> it's</c><00:08:00.000><c> true.</c>

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.220
Are<00:08:00.819><c> we</c><00:08:00.959><c> not</c><00:08:01.120><c> better</c><00:08:01.300><c> together?</c>

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.879
Is<00:08:02.939><c> it</c><00:08:03.019><c> better</c><00:08:03.259><c> when</c><00:08:03.379><c> we</c><00:08:03.540><c> have</c><00:08:03.720><c> virtual</c><00:08:04.180><c> ecclesias</c><00:08:04.660><c> and</c><00:08:04.779><c> we</c><00:08:04.959><c> stay</c><00:08:05.120><c> home</c><00:08:05.339><c> and</c><00:08:05.500><c> log</c><00:08:05.720><c> in</c>

00:08:07.660 --> 00:08:08.399
Is<00:08:07.759><c> that</c><00:08:07.980><c> better?</c>

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.240
Or<00:08:08.980><c> is</c><00:08:09.060><c> it</c><00:08:09.220><c> better</c><00:08:09.399><c> to</c><00:08:09.579><c> come</c><00:08:09.779><c> face</c><00:08:10.079><c> to</c><00:08:10.220><c> face</c><00:08:10.439><c> with</c><00:08:10.579><c> people</c><00:08:10.879><c> that</c>

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.899
we<00:08:11.439><c> rub</c><00:08:11.560><c> shoulders</c><00:08:11.899><c> with</c><00:08:12.040><c> and</c><00:08:12.160><c> it's</c><00:08:12.279><c> a</c><00:08:12.360><c> little</c><00:08:12.439><c> bit</c><00:08:12.639><c> difficult</c>

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:15.819
from<00:08:13.139><c> time</c><00:08:13.360><c> to</c><00:08:13.519><c> time</c><00:08:13.759><c> and</c><00:08:13.860><c> we</c><00:08:14.000><c> have</c><00:08:14.180><c> interpersonal</c><00:08:14.680><c> problems.</c>

00:08:16.019 --> 00:08:20.339
But<00:08:16.300><c> we</c><00:08:16.560><c> still</c><00:08:16.879><c> get</c><00:08:17.139><c> along</c><00:08:17.660><c> and</c><00:08:18.639><c> we</c><00:08:18.899><c> negotiate</c><00:08:19.439><c> the</c><00:08:19.680><c> road</c><00:08:19.839><c> towards</c><00:08:20.120><c> the</c>

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:21.019
kingdom<00:08:20.579><c> together.</c>

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:22.759
Is<00:08:21.220><c> that</c><00:08:21.480><c> better</c><00:08:21.740><c> or</c><00:08:21.939><c> not?</c>

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:24.560
Yes,<00:08:23.459><c> of</c><00:08:23.699><c> course</c><00:08:23.920><c> it's</c><00:08:24.079><c> better.</c>

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.139
So<00:08:25.560><c> just</c><00:08:25.800><c> because</c><00:08:26.000><c> Babylon</c><00:08:26.339><c> doesn't</c><00:08:26.660><c> mean</c><00:08:27.220><c> we</c><00:08:27.839><c> do</c><00:08:28.079><c> the</c><00:08:28.279><c> opposite.</c>

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:31.959
It<00:08:29.500><c> just</c><00:08:29.740><c> means</c><00:08:29.860><c> when</c><00:08:30.040><c> they</c><00:08:30.279><c> do</c><00:08:30.519><c> it,</c><00:08:31.240><c> they're</c><00:08:31.480><c> trying</c><00:08:31.680><c> to</c><00:08:31.839><c> do</c>

00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.039
the<00:08:32.179><c> exact</c><00:08:32.419><c> opposite</c><00:08:32.759><c> to</c><00:08:33.019><c> us</c><00:08:33.379><c> in</c><00:08:33.820><c> serving</c><00:08:34.100><c> God.</c>

00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.740
And<00:08:37.159><c> it</c><00:08:37.720><c> comes</c><00:08:38.059><c> down</c><00:08:38.379><c> then.</c>

00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.500
So<00:08:39.139><c> we</c><00:08:40.100><c> leave</c><00:08:40.340><c> off</c><00:08:40.720><c> Babylon</c><00:08:41.399><c> where</c><00:08:41.580><c> it</c><00:08:41.700><c> was</c><00:08:41.919><c> set</c><00:08:42.159><c> up</c><00:08:42.360><c> with</c><00:08:42.580><c> Nimrod.</c>

00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.080
And<00:08:43.620><c> we</c><00:08:43.700><c> get</c><00:08:43.919><c> down</c><00:08:44.139><c> to</c><00:08:45.120><c> right</c><00:08:45.539><c> down</c><00:08:45.820><c> to</c><00:08:46.000><c> the</c><00:08:46.100><c> days</c><00:08:46.240><c> of</c><00:08:46.500><c> Abraham</c>

00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:51.940
when<00:08:47.960><c> Lot</c><00:08:48.259><c> was</c><00:08:48.580><c> in</c><00:08:48.879><c> Sodom</c><00:08:49.159><c> obviously</c><00:08:50.039><c> and</c><00:08:50.460><c> Babylon</c><00:08:50.960><c> was</c><00:08:51.200><c> over</c><00:08:51.559><c> there.</c>

00:08:51.940 --> 00:08:56.639
It<00:08:52.279><c> says</c><00:08:52.720><c> in</c><00:08:53.039><c> the</c><00:08:53.220><c> days</c><00:08:53.559><c> of</c><00:08:53.799><c> Amrephel,</c><00:08:54.320><c> Genesis</c><00:08:54.679><c> 14,</c><00:08:56.220><c> King</c><00:08:56.440><c> of</c>

They<00:09:04.379><c> all</c><00:09:04.600><c> come</c><00:09:04.779><c> as</c><00:09:04.980><c> a</c><00:09:05.200><c> confederacy</c><00:09:05.740><c> across</c><00:09:06.419><c> to</c><00:09:07.100><c> the</c><00:09:07.240><c> land</c><00:09:07.440><c> of</c>

00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.580
And<00:09:32.779><c> so</c><00:09:33.080><c> Babylon,</c><00:09:34.500><c> because</c><00:09:34.820><c> they</c><00:09:35.059><c> want</c><00:09:35.200><c> to</c><00:09:35.340><c> be</c><00:09:35.600><c> unified</c><00:09:36.120><c> and</c>

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:44.200
It's<00:10:42.659><c> an</c><00:10:42.960><c> excellent</c><00:10:43.379><c> representation.</c>

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:48.059

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:04.240
Yes.

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.980

00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:16.159
There<00:11:14.759><c> it</c><00:11:14.899><c> is.</c>

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.379
It's<00:11:28.320><c> fellowship.</c>

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:30.679
It's<00:11:29.720><c> communion.</c>

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.299
There's<00:11:31.240><c> oneness</c><00:11:31.559><c> about</c><00:11:31.940><c> it.</c>

00:11:58.539 --> 00:12:01.919

00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.519
is<00:12:54.399><c> this</c><00:12:54.559><c> is</c><00:12:54.779><c> how</c><00:12:55.419><c> to</c><00:12:56.220><c> outlive</c><00:12:56.500><c> Babylon.</c>

00:12:57.620 --> 00:13:00.480
The<00:12:57.700><c> key</c><00:12:57.840><c> is</c><00:12:58.259><c> don't</c><00:12:58.740><c> drink</c><00:12:59.019><c> the</c><00:12:59.240><c> wine</c><00:12:59.419><c> of</c><00:12:59.659><c> Babylon.</c>

00:13:01.019 --> 00:13:02.259
They<00:13:01.299><c> want</c><00:13:01.480><c> to</c><00:13:01.639><c> unite</c><00:13:01.919><c> you.</c>

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:03.799
They<00:13:02.700><c> want</c><00:13:02.879><c> you</c><00:13:03.039><c> to</c><00:13:03.139><c> be</c><00:13:03.279><c> part</c><00:13:03.519><c> of</c><00:13:03.679><c> them.</c>

00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:05.519
They<00:13:03.919><c> want</c><00:13:04.080><c> you</c><00:13:04.279><c> to</c><00:13:04.399><c> dance</c><00:13:04.700><c> to</c><00:13:04.879><c> their</c><00:13:05.139><c> tune,</c>

00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:06.779
march<00:13:06.019><c> to</c><00:13:06.240><c> their</c><00:13:06.500><c> drums.</c>

00:13:06.779 --> 00:13:09.580
Sometimes<00:13:06.840><c> they</c><00:13:06.960><c> want</c><00:13:07.220><c> you</c><00:13:07.500><c> to</c><00:13:07.820><c> do</c><00:13:08.139><c> and</c><00:13:08.559><c> say</c><00:13:08.840><c> and</c><00:13:09.179><c> speak</c>

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:11.759
exactly<00:13:10.379><c> like</c><00:13:10.679><c> them.</c>

00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.000
And<00:13:12.019><c> therefore,</c><00:13:12.759><c> isn't</c><00:13:13.139><c> it</c><00:13:13.480><c> all</c><00:13:13.779><c> so</c><00:13:14.000><c> interesting?</c>

00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:17.740
We<00:13:16.059><c> come</c><00:13:16.340><c> to</c><00:13:16.539><c> our</c><00:13:16.740><c> Lord</c><00:13:17.000><c> Jesus</c><00:13:17.379><c> Christ.</c>

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.419
What<00:13:18.080><c> is</c><00:13:18.320><c> the</c><00:13:18.659><c> first</c><00:13:19.000><c> thing</c><00:13:19.179><c> he</c><00:13:19.399><c> does?</c>

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.240
He<00:13:24.059><c> turns</c><00:13:24.360><c> the</c><00:13:24.600><c> water</c><00:13:24.779><c> into</c><00:13:25.019><c> wine.</c>

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:27.340
As<00:13:25.659><c> Achilles</c><00:13:26.000><c> thinks,</c><00:13:26.399><c> why</c><00:13:26.659><c> did</c><00:13:26.820><c> he</c><00:13:26.820><c> do</c><00:13:27.000><c> that?</c>

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:31.139
It<00:13:27.879><c> seems</c><00:13:28.200><c> such</c><00:13:28.580><c> an</c><00:13:30.019><c> insignificant,</c>

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.419
a<00:13:31.860><c> weird,</c><00:13:32.980><c> such</c><00:13:33.220><c> a</c><00:13:33.419><c> left</c><00:13:33.639><c>-fielded</c><00:13:34.000><c> miracle.</c>

00:13:34.419 --> 00:13:37.240
But<00:13:34.820><c> it's</c><00:13:35.360><c> full</c><00:13:35.700><c> of</c><00:13:35.960><c> significance</c>

00:13:37.659 --> 00:13:40.899
because<00:13:38.139><c> that's</c><00:13:38.279><c> what</c><00:13:38.519><c> Christ</c><00:13:38.980><c> is</c><00:13:39.220><c> offering</c><00:13:39.500><c> us.</c>

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:43.840
He's<00:13:41.200><c> saying,</c><00:13:41.899><c> you've</c><00:13:42.059><c> got</c><00:13:42.139><c> to</c><00:13:42.279><c> drink</c><00:13:42.480><c> this</c><00:13:42.840><c> wine,</c>

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.440
have<00:13:44.159><c> communion</c><00:13:44.600><c> with</c><00:13:44.799><c> me,</c><00:13:45.159><c> be</c><00:13:45.440><c> part</c><00:13:45.820><c> of</c><00:13:46.080><c> me.</c>

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.940
I<00:13:46.840><c> want</c><00:13:47.139><c> unity,</c><00:13:48.440><c> not</c><00:13:48.639><c> with</c><00:13:48.860><c> that</c><00:13:49.000><c> system.</c>

00:13:50.179 --> 00:13:51.539
And<00:13:50.259><c> that's</c><00:13:50.419><c> how</c><00:13:50.820><c> it's</c><00:13:51.240><c> set</c><00:13:51.379><c> up.</c>

00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:52.940
And<00:13:51.679><c> this</c><00:13:51.779><c> is</c><00:13:51.779><c> what</c><00:13:51.860><c> we</c><00:13:51.960><c> want</c><00:13:52.059><c> to</c><00:13:52.179><c> have</c><00:13:52.200><c> a</c><00:13:52.240><c> look</c><00:13:52.360><c> at</c><00:13:52.440><c> this</c><00:13:52.679><c> morning.</c>

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.440
So<00:13:53.100><c> we're</c><00:13:53.200><c> going</c><00:13:53.279><c> to</c><00:13:53.299><c> go</c><00:13:53.460><c> back</c><00:13:53.659><c> to</c><00:13:53.779><c> Daniel</c><00:13:54.039><c> chapter</c><00:13:54.379><c> 1</c><00:13:54.559><c> right</c><00:13:54.840><c> now</c>

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.059
and<00:13:56.299><c> have</c><00:13:56.419><c> a</c><00:13:56.580><c> think</c><00:13:56.720><c> about</c><00:13:57.019><c> this.</c>

00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:00.100
Have<00:13:58.539><c> a</c><00:13:58.720><c> think</c><00:13:58.879><c> about</c><00:13:59.159><c> these</c><00:13:59.500><c> issues.</c>

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:03.360
The<00:14:01.059><c> enemy,</c><00:14:01.500><c> the</c><00:14:01.779><c> liars</c><00:14:02.220><c> and</c><00:14:02.360><c> the</c><00:14:02.620><c> murderers.</c>

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.899
And<00:14:04.220><c> how</c><00:14:04.559><c> this</c><00:14:05.159><c> system</c><00:14:05.700><c> is</c><00:14:06.340><c> a</c><00:14:06.580><c> beautiful,</c>

00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.460
not<00:14:07.399><c> a</c><00:14:07.580><c> beautiful,</c><00:14:07.940><c> but</c><00:14:08.100><c> it's</c><00:14:08.740><c> a</c><00:14:08.919><c> significant</c>

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:11.700
and<00:14:09.779><c> a</c><00:14:09.960><c> very</c><00:14:10.399><c> visual</c><00:14:10.899><c> representation</c>

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:13.639
of<00:14:12.039><c> what</c><00:14:12.480><c> sin</c><00:14:12.659><c> is</c><00:14:12.980><c> and</c><00:14:13.120><c> sin</c><00:14:13.279><c> is</c><00:14:13.539><c> like.</c>

00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:18.039
Now<00:14:13.799><c> let's</c><00:14:14.000><c> just</c><00:14:15.019><c> read</c><00:14:15.299><c> this</c><00:14:15.519><c> little</c><00:14:15.759><c> section</c><00:14:16.059><c> here</c><00:14:16.320><c> together,</c><00:14:16.860><c> okay?</c>

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.940
So,<00:14:23.320><c> we'll</c><00:14:23.840><c> get</c><00:14:24.000><c> to</c><00:14:24.179><c> verse</c><00:14:24.279><c> 1,</c><00:14:24.480><c> 2</c><00:14:24.580><c> in</c><00:14:24.679><c> a</c><00:14:24.799><c> second.</c>

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:30.279
And<00:14:25.019><c> so,</c><00:14:26.960><c> we</c><00:14:27.159><c> want</c><00:14:27.399><c> to</c><00:14:27.980><c> just</c><00:14:28.419><c> make</c><00:14:28.679><c> this</c><00:14:28.919><c> one</c><00:14:29.179><c> point.</c>

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.320
So<00:14:38.200><c> Daniel</c><00:14:38.440><c> is</c><00:14:38.700><c> about</c><00:14:39.240><c> trying</c><00:14:39.779><c> to</c><00:14:40.460><c> remain</c><00:14:40.779><c> faithful</c>

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.440
in<00:14:41.860><c> a</c><00:14:42.059><c> settled</c><00:14:42.379><c> condition</c><00:14:42.980><c> in</c><00:14:43.519><c> an</c><00:14:43.879><c> alien</c><00:14:44.419><c> culture,</c><00:14:45.100><c> okay?</c>

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.720
This<00:14:45.659><c> is</c><00:14:45.799><c> what</c><00:14:45.919><c> it's</c><00:14:46.100><c> really</c><00:14:46.360><c> about.</c>

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:48.500
So<00:14:47.320><c> there's</c><00:14:47.480><c> some</c><00:14:47.720><c> problems</c><00:14:48.000><c> with</c><00:14:48.240><c> Babylon</c>

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:50.519
because<00:14:48.879><c> as</c><00:14:49.559><c> a</c><00:14:49.720><c> brother</c><00:14:49.879><c> over</c><00:14:50.100><c> here</c><00:14:50.340><c> said,</c>

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.559
he<00:14:50.720><c> took</c><00:14:50.879><c> them</c><00:14:51.080><c> captive,</c><00:14:51.559><c> brought</c><00:14:51.740><c> them</c><00:14:51.899><c> into</c><00:14:52.100><c> Babylon</c>

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.879
and<00:14:53.220><c> it</c><00:14:53.759><c> was</c><00:14:54.159><c> forced.</c>

00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.379
It<00:14:55.259><c> was</c><00:14:55.539><c> forced</c><00:14:55.899><c> upon</c><00:14:56.179><c> them.</c>

00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:05.820
Now,<00:15:01.799><c> I</c><00:15:01.879><c> wanted</c><00:15:02.080><c> to...</c>

00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.759
I<00:15:08.000><c> want</c><00:15:08.159><c> you</c><00:15:08.360><c> to</c><00:15:08.539><c> tell</c><00:15:08.679><c> me</c><00:15:08.879><c> this.</c>

00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:12.460
I<00:15:10.000><c> want</c><00:15:10.139><c> you</c><00:15:10.279><c> to</c><00:15:10.419><c> give</c><00:15:10.500><c> me</c><00:15:10.639><c> some</c><00:15:10.899><c> live</c><00:15:11.360><c> commentary.</c>

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:14.039
You're<00:15:13.179><c> Jews.</c>

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.820
You<00:15:15.159><c> believe</c><00:15:15.620><c> that</c><00:15:15.860><c> you</c><00:15:16.000><c> have</c><00:15:16.120><c> the</c><00:15:16.299><c> promises</c><00:15:16.519><c> made</c><00:15:16.779><c> to</c><00:15:17.000><c> Abraham.</c>

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.000
You<00:15:19.720><c> are</c><00:15:20.360><c> looking</c><00:15:20.620><c> at</c><00:15:20.899><c> the</c><00:15:21.220><c> rising</c><00:15:21.580><c> power</c><00:15:21.940><c> of</c><00:15:22.179><c> Babylon.</c>

00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:24.259
It's<00:15:23.080><c> getting</c><00:15:23.299><c> larger.</c>

00:15:24.460 --> 00:15:25.419
They're<00:15:24.779><c> threatening</c><00:15:25.000><c> you.</c>

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.899
You've<00:15:26.000><c> heard</c><00:15:26.179><c> of</c><00:15:26.279><c> the</c><00:15:26.500><c> prophets</c>

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:29.500
and<00:15:27.340><c> they've</c><00:15:27.559><c> said</c><00:15:27.759><c> that</c><00:15:27.940><c> you've</c><00:15:28.879><c> been</c><00:15:29.120><c> sinful</c>

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.779
and<00:15:29.720><c> that</c><00:15:29.820><c> you're</c><00:15:30.000><c> probably</c><00:15:30.159><c> going</c><00:15:30.299><c> to</c><00:15:30.440><c> go</c><00:15:30.539><c> across.</c>

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:32.419
But<00:15:30.919><c> you</c><00:15:30.960><c> don't</c><00:15:31.139><c> believe</c><00:15:31.460><c> them.</c>

00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:33.980
You<00:15:33.080><c> don't</c><00:15:33.279><c> believe</c><00:15:33.580><c> that.</c>

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.960
You're<00:15:34.759><c> fully</c><00:15:35.159><c> in</c><00:15:35.500><c> denial</c><00:15:35.899><c> and</c><00:15:37.059><c> you</c><00:15:37.700><c> know</c>

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.360
that<00:15:39.759><c> anybody</c><00:15:40.200><c> that</c><00:15:40.440><c> comes</c><00:15:40.659><c> and</c><00:15:40.899><c> touches</c><00:15:41.480><c> the</c><00:15:41.980><c> apple</c><00:15:42.100><c> of</c><00:15:42.220><c> God's</c><00:15:42.700><c> eye</c>

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.100
will<00:15:43.899><c> surely</c><00:15:44.179><c> be</c><00:15:44.419><c> annihilated.</c>

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:48.759
So<00:15:45.940><c> we're</c><00:15:46.440><c> going</c><00:15:46.539><c> to</c><00:15:46.559><c> read</c><00:15:46.820><c> this</c><00:15:47.039><c> little</c><00:15:47.259><c> section</c><00:15:47.539><c> here,</c><00:15:47.799><c> verses</c><00:15:48.039><c> 1</c><00:15:48.279><c> and</c><00:15:48.480><c> 2.</c>

00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.500
And<00:15:49.019><c> what</c><00:15:49.139><c> I</c><00:15:49.200><c> want</c><00:15:49.299><c> you</c><00:15:49.460><c> to</c><00:15:49.620><c> do,</c><00:15:50.139><c> I</c><00:15:50.220><c> want</c><00:15:50.399><c> you</c><00:15:50.679><c> to</c><00:15:50.940><c> tell</c><00:15:51.039><c> me</c><00:15:51.379><c> when</c>

00:15:51.500 --> 00:15:52.700
I<00:15:51.820><c> stop.</c>

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.659
I<00:15:52.899><c> want</c><00:15:53.019><c> you</c><00:15:53.220><c> to</c><00:15:53.399><c> interject</c><00:15:53.840><c> with</c><00:15:54.720><c> what</c><00:15:55.100><c> you</c><00:15:55.419><c> think</c><00:15:55.820><c> will</c><00:15:56.299><c> happen.</c>

00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.480
So<00:15:57.240><c> Babylon</c><00:15:57.519><c> hasn't</c><00:15:58.440><c> invaded</c><00:15:58.960><c> yet,</c><00:15:59.379><c> but</c><00:15:59.559><c> it's</c><00:15:59.779><c> just</c><00:16:00.019><c> about</c><00:16:00.340><c> to.</c>

00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:02.879
It's<00:16:00.700><c> coming</c><00:16:01.000><c> up</c><00:16:01.360><c> to</c><00:16:01.539><c> the</c><00:16:01.799><c> borders</c><00:16:02.100><c> of</c><00:16:02.299><c> the</c><00:16:02.460><c> land</c>

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:14.700
I'll<00:16:14.120><c> put</c><00:16:14.179><c> myself</c><00:16:14.539><c> in.</c>

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.460
We're<00:16:15.299><c> all</c><00:16:15.519><c> self</c><00:16:15.720><c>-righteous</c><00:16:16.019><c> and</c><00:16:16.200><c> full</c><00:16:16.320><c> of</c><00:16:16.460><c> ourselves.</c>

00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.080
And<00:16:19.120><c> we</c><00:16:19.259><c> know</c><00:16:19.539><c> that</c><00:16:20.139><c> there's</c><00:16:20.200><c> no</c><00:16:20.419><c> way</c><00:16:20.580><c> Babylon</c><00:16:20.899><c> can</c><00:16:21.120><c> come</c><00:16:21.320><c> into</c><00:16:21.559><c> here.</c>

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.960
In<00:16:22.580><c> the</c><00:16:22.720><c> third</c><00:16:22.980><c> year</c><00:16:23.120><c> of</c><00:16:23.240><c> the</c><00:16:23.360><c> reign</c><00:16:23.600><c> of</c><00:16:23.820><c> Jehoiakim,</c><00:16:24.440><c> king</c><00:16:24.639><c> of</c><00:16:24.860><c> Judah,</c>

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:29.600
Nebuchadnezzar,<00:16:27.460><c> king</c><00:16:27.679><c> of</c><00:16:27.899><c> Babylon,</c><00:16:28.340><c> came</c><00:16:28.720><c> to</c><00:16:29.000><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.960
and<00:16:30.740><c> besieged</c><00:16:31.460><c> it.</c>

00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.539
Now<00:16:32.419><c> I'm</c><00:16:32.580><c> one</c><00:16:32.779><c> of</c><00:16:32.860><c> your</c><00:16:32.980><c> little</c><00:16:33.179><c> children.</c>

00:16:33.659 --> 00:16:34.419
What<00:16:33.740><c> are</c><00:16:33.860><c> you</c><00:16:33.919><c> going</c><00:16:34.039><c> to...</c>

00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:37.240

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:48.080

Wake<00:16:51.360><c> up.</c>

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:57.419
There's<00:16:55.639><c> bad</c><00:16:55.879><c> men</c><00:16:56.080><c> outside.</c>

00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.220
They've<00:16:59.919><c> got</c><00:17:00.320><c> sharp</c><00:17:01.039><c> swords.</c>

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:05.640
Help.

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:10.259
Yes,<00:17:10.160><c> yes.</c>

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:11.440
That's<00:17:10.500><c> a</c><00:17:10.599><c> good</c><00:17:10.759><c> story,</c><00:17:11.240><c> Mum.</c>

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:12.500
That's<00:17:11.740><c> a</c><00:17:11.839><c> good</c><00:17:11.980><c> story,</c><00:17:12.240><c> Dad.</c>

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:14.819
Is<00:17:12.960><c> that</c><00:17:13.140><c> what's</c><00:17:13.359><c> going</c><00:17:13.440><c> to</c><00:17:13.519><c> happen</c><00:17:13.720><c> this</c><00:17:13.960><c> time?</c>

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:18.539
Probably.

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.519
I<00:17:22.960><c> want</c><00:17:23.200><c> to</c><00:17:23.380><c> know</c><00:17:23.539><c> because</c><00:17:23.920><c> I'm</c><00:17:24.259><c> really</c><00:17:24.539><c> scared.</c>

00:17:26.180 --> 00:17:27.599
What's<00:17:26.440><c> going</c><00:17:26.539><c> to</c><00:17:26.700><c> happen?</c>

00:17:28.900 --> 00:17:29.819
How?

00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:33.220
There's<00:17:31.380><c> so</c><00:17:31.640><c> many</c><00:17:31.859><c> of</c><00:17:32.079><c> them.</c>

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:37.980
You<00:17:36.740><c> get</c><00:17:36.900><c> the</c><00:17:37.059><c> idea.</c>

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:40.500
But<00:17:38.980><c> you</c><00:17:39.079><c> have</c><00:17:39.279><c> to</c><00:17:39.380><c> be</c><00:17:39.460><c> more</c><00:17:39.720><c> confident</c><00:17:39.980><c> of</c><00:17:40.059><c> that.</c>

00:17:40.980 --> 00:17:42.640
You'd<00:17:41.299><c> say,</c><00:17:41.660><c> well,</c><00:17:41.660><c> we're</c><00:17:41.839><c> going</c><00:17:41.920><c> to</c><00:17:41.960><c> put</c><00:17:42.119><c> the</c><00:17:42.319><c> deck</c><00:17:42.480><c> chairs</c>

up<00:17:42.819><c> on</c><00:17:42.940><c> the</c><00:17:43.099><c> walls.</c>

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:44.880
We're<00:17:43.460><c> going</c><00:17:43.559><c> to</c><00:17:43.660><c> watch</c><00:17:44.000><c> the</c><00:17:44.200><c> lightning</c><00:17:44.500><c> show.</c>

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.440
It's<00:17:45.259><c> going</c><00:17:45.319><c> to</c><00:17:45.380><c> be</c><00:17:45.599><c> fantastic</c><00:17:46.079><c> when</c><00:17:46.420><c> God</c><00:17:46.619><c> opens</c><00:17:46.880><c> up</c><00:17:47.099><c> the</c><00:17:47.259><c> earth</c>

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.420
That's<00:17:51.900><c> what's</c><00:17:52.099><c> going</c><00:17:52.160><c> to</c><00:17:52.279><c> happen.</c>

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.440
You<00:17:52.980><c> remember,</c><00:17:53.559><c> son.</c>

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:56.400
You<00:17:54.799><c> remember</c><00:17:55.160><c> the</c><00:17:55.359><c> story</c><00:17:55.539><c> in</c><00:17:55.660><c> Leviticus</c><00:17:56.059><c> 10.</c>

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.759
If<00:17:56.720><c> anyone</c><00:17:57.039><c> even</c><00:17:57.339><c> comes</c><00:17:57.660><c> near</c><00:17:58.200><c> God's</c><00:17:58.619><c> house,</c>

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.839
he'll<00:18:00.339><c> be</c><00:18:00.579><c> annihilated</c><00:18:01.279><c> with</c><00:18:01.500><c> fire</c><00:18:01.799><c> from</c><00:18:01.960><c> the</c><00:18:02.099><c> most</c><00:18:02.279><c> holy</c><00:18:02.539><c> place.</c>

00:18:02.859 --> 00:18:05.059
I<00:18:03.000><c> mean,</c><00:18:03.180><c> you</c><00:18:03.339><c> can't</c><00:18:03.680><c> survive</c><00:18:03.980><c> that.</c>

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.380
There's<00:18:05.680><c> no</c><00:18:06.000><c> way.</c>

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.619
God<00:18:07.079><c> has</c><00:18:07.359><c> promised</c><00:18:07.680><c> us</c><00:18:08.420><c> uninterrupted</c><00:18:09.519><c> succession</c><00:18:10.019><c> all</c><00:18:10.519><c> the</c>

00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:16.819
We<00:18:14.000><c> don't</c><00:18:14.180><c> know</c><00:18:14.259><c> how</c><00:18:14.500><c> long</c><00:18:14.640><c> that</c><00:18:14.819><c> is,</c><00:18:14.980><c> but</c><00:18:15.140><c> it's</c><00:18:15.559><c> going</c><00:18:15.640><c> to</c><00:18:15.720><c> be</c><00:18:15.920><c> soon.</c>

00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:18.319
No.

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:20.500
We're<00:18:18.740><c> not</c><00:18:18.940><c> going</c><00:18:19.059><c> to</c><00:18:19.200><c> be</c><00:18:19.420><c> taken.</c>

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.400
And<00:18:21.259><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:18:22.059><c> besieges</c><00:18:22.680><c> it,</c><00:18:23.099><c> and</c><00:18:23.200><c> he</c><00:18:23.799><c> blasts</c><00:18:24.279><c> through</c>

00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:25.059

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.960
And<00:18:29.359><c> God</c><00:18:29.720><c> sits</c><00:18:30.140><c> idle</c><00:18:30.599><c> and</c><00:18:30.779><c> does</c><00:18:31.039><c> nothing.</c>

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.339
What<00:18:32.759><c> a</c><00:18:32.880><c> massive</c><00:18:33.240><c> culture</c><00:18:33.759><c> shock</c><00:18:34.019><c> that</c><00:18:34.220><c> is.</c>

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:37.759
Massive.

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.339
We<00:18:38.180><c> talked</c><00:18:38.420><c> about</c><00:18:38.640><c> it</c><00:18:38.799><c> just</c><00:18:39.000><c> yesterday</c><00:18:39.339><c> in</c><00:18:39.500><c> the</c><00:18:39.640><c> Exhortation</c>

00:18:40.339 --> 00:18:44.380
when<00:18:41.000><c> the</c><00:18:41.380><c> Lord</c><00:18:41.880><c> had</c><00:18:42.539><c> been</c><00:18:43.059><c> crucified.</c>

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.559
Peter<00:18:47.640><c> was</c><00:18:47.940><c> probably</c><00:18:48.339><c> wondering</c><00:18:48.740><c> whether</c><00:18:48.980><c> or</c><00:18:48.980><c> not</c><00:18:49.220><c> life's</c>

00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:54.099
All<00:18:50.819><c> the</c><00:18:51.140><c> disciples</c><00:18:51.539><c> didn't</c><00:18:51.819><c> know</c><00:18:52.140><c> what</c><00:18:52.559><c> to</c><00:18:52.880><c> do.</c>

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:57.259
What<00:18:55.460><c> a</c><00:18:55.700><c> pointless</c><00:18:56.059><c> existence.</c>

00:18:57.900 --> 00:19:00.839
This<00:18:58.140><c> is</c><00:18:58.299><c> how</c><00:18:58.500><c> the</c><00:18:58.700><c> Jews</c><00:18:58.859><c> must</c><00:18:59.220><c> have</c><00:18:59.380><c> felt</c><00:18:59.559><c> at</c><00:18:59.720><c> this</c><00:18:59.900><c> time.</c>

00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:08.319
And<00:19:00.940><c> so</c><00:19:01.039><c> the</c><00:19:01.180><c> problems</c><00:19:01.500><c> with</c><00:19:01.880><c> living</c><00:19:02.160><c> in</c><00:19:02.420><c> Babylon...</c>

00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:12.119
They<00:19:09.539><c> had</c><00:19:09.759><c> to</c><00:19:09.920><c> do</c><00:19:10.039><c> normal,</c><00:19:10.579><c> faithful</c><00:19:10.839><c> things</c><00:19:11.220><c> because</c><00:19:11.680><c> they</c>

were<00:19:12.380><c> exiles.</c>

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.119
This<00:19:13.500><c> is</c><00:19:13.519><c> not</c><00:19:13.700><c> a</c><00:19:13.740><c> chosen</c><00:19:14.079><c> immigration</c><00:19:14.619><c> program.</c>

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.339

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:20.119
they<00:19:18.640><c> didn't</c><00:19:18.920><c> understand.</c>

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.900
They<00:19:20.759><c> didn't</c><00:19:21.059><c> understand</c><00:19:21.640><c> a</c><00:19:21.980><c> language.</c>

00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:25.299
And<00:19:23.059><c> you</c><00:19:23.180><c> imagine</c><00:19:23.460><c> the</c><00:19:23.839><c> script</c><00:19:24.059><c> being</c><00:19:24.359><c> different.</c>

00:19:25.940 --> 00:19:31.380
I've<00:19:26.539><c> been</c><00:19:27.140><c> on</c><00:19:27.980><c> traveling</c><00:19:28.599><c> sometimes</c><00:19:29.640><c> to</c><00:19:30.460><c> Dubai</c><00:19:30.900><c> or</c><00:19:31.059><c> something,</c>

00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:34.200
and<00:19:31.559><c> you</c><00:19:31.660><c> see</c><00:19:31.779><c> the</c><00:19:31.980><c> Arabic</c><00:19:32.319><c> script,</c><00:19:32.660><c> and</c><00:19:32.759><c> it's</c><00:19:32.880><c> really</c><00:19:33.119><c> disconcerting.</c>

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:38.619
And<00:19:34.680><c> you</c><00:19:34.680><c> hear</c><00:19:34.819><c> people</c><00:19:35.119><c> speak</c><00:19:35.539><c> to</c><00:19:35.740><c> you</c><00:19:36.079><c> with</c><00:19:36.240><c> a</c><00:19:36.460><c> really</c><00:19:36.839><c> different</c><00:19:37.059><c> language</c><00:19:37.460><c> to</c><00:19:37.640><c> English.</c>

00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.680

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:47.579
And<00:19:44.859><c> it</c><00:19:44.980><c> sounds</c><00:19:45.279><c> like</c><00:19:45.400><c> they're</c><00:19:45.700><c> yelling</c><00:19:46.039><c> at</c><00:19:46.359><c> you.</c>

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:51.460
And<00:19:48.680><c> if</c><00:19:48.799><c> you</c><00:19:48.980><c> don't</c><00:19:49.140><c> do</c><00:19:49.259><c> what</c><00:19:49.359><c> they</c><00:19:49.660><c> say,</c><00:19:51.180><c> they're</c><00:19:51.299><c> probably</c>

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:53.000
going<00:19:51.640><c> to</c><00:19:51.799><c> hurt</c><00:19:52.000><c> you</c><00:19:52.180><c> and</c><00:19:52.299><c> inflict</c><00:19:52.400><c> some</c><00:19:52.660><c> pain.</c>

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.920
And<00:19:53.440><c> all</c><00:19:53.619><c> of</c><00:19:53.759><c> this</c><00:19:53.839><c> in</c><00:19:53.960><c> their</c><00:19:54.160><c> language</c><00:19:54.339><c> is,</c><00:19:54.559><c> would</c><00:19:54.660><c> you</c><00:19:54.799><c> mind</c>

00:19:58.339 --> 00:20:01.039
But<00:19:58.740><c> you</c><00:19:59.140><c> don't</c><00:19:59.420><c> know,</c><00:19:59.720><c> and</c><00:19:59.839><c> it's</c><00:20:00.140><c> frightening.</c>

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.240
We<00:20:01.460><c> had</c><00:20:01.640><c> a</c><00:20:01.779><c> young</c><00:20:01.960><c> kid</c><00:20:02.200><c> who</c><00:20:02.539><c> is</c><00:20:02.539><c> a</c><00:20:02.680><c> Korean</c><00:20:03.099><c> young</c><00:20:03.460><c> boy</c><00:20:03.880><c> who</c><00:20:04.500><c> immigrated</c><00:20:04.819><c> to</c><00:20:05.059><c> Australia.</c>

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.359
We<00:20:05.380><c> had</c><00:20:05.500><c> to</c><00:20:05.680><c> teach</c><00:20:05.819><c> him.</c>

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.619
He<00:20:06.920><c> couldn't</c><00:20:07.259><c> speak</c><00:20:07.480><c> English</c><00:20:07.700><c> for</c><00:20:07.900><c> the</c><00:20:08.019><c> first</c><00:20:08.259><c> two</c><00:20:08.480><c> years.</c>

You<00:20:08.819><c> say,</c><00:20:09.460><c> Jimmy,</c><00:20:10.059><c> what</c><00:20:10.420><c> are</c><00:20:10.640><c> you</c><00:20:10.640><c> doing?</c>

00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.380
Yes,<00:20:11.660><c> sir.</c>

00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:14.460
Jimmy,<00:20:13.500><c> you</c><00:20:13.619><c> meant</c><00:20:13.759><c> to</c><00:20:13.880><c> be</c><00:20:13.960><c> in</c><00:20:14.140><c> class?</c>

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.599
Yes,<00:20:15.880><c> sir.</c>

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.740
And<00:20:16.759><c> so</c><00:20:16.900><c> you</c><00:20:17.059><c> just</c><00:20:17.559><c> walk</c><00:20:17.779><c> away</c><00:20:18.059><c> and</c><00:20:18.160><c> leave</c><00:20:18.579><c> him.</c>

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:20.440
There's<00:20:19.059><c> nothing</c><00:20:19.220><c> you</c><00:20:19.420><c> could</c><00:20:19.599><c> do.</c>

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.640

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.599
They<00:20:28.660><c> were</c><00:20:28.880><c> dislocated.</c>

00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:31.700
They<00:20:29.960><c> were</c><00:20:30.079><c> surrounded</c><00:20:30.420><c> by</c><00:20:30.799><c> a</c><00:20:31.039><c> pagan</c><00:20:31.259><c> religion.</c>

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:35.319
No<00:20:33.740><c> one</c><00:20:33.759><c> was</c><00:20:33.880><c> going</c><00:20:33.940><c> to</c><00:20:34.079><c> build</c><00:20:34.259><c> them</c><00:20:34.720><c> a</c><00:20:34.799><c> nice</c><00:20:34.960><c> little</c><00:20:35.140><c> hall</c>

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:39.380
So<00:20:37.500><c> they</c><00:20:37.500><c> could</c><00:20:37.640><c> all</c><00:20:37.920><c> get</c><00:20:38.180><c> together</c><00:20:38.579><c> again.</c>

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:49.220
How<00:20:44.140><c> hard</c><00:20:44.480><c> would</c><00:20:44.660><c> it</c><00:20:44.779><c> be</c><00:20:44.960><c> to</c><00:20:45.200><c> maintain</c><00:20:45.680><c> your</c><00:20:46.019><c> faith</c><00:20:46.240><c> without</c><00:20:46.880><c> an</c><00:20:47.339><c> object,</c><00:20:47.859><c> an</c><00:20:48.019><c> artifact</c><00:20:48.420><c> like</c><00:20:48.720><c> a</c><00:20:49.019><c> hall,</c>

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.960
It<00:20:54.119><c> would</c><00:20:54.259><c> be</c><00:20:54.440><c> very,</c><00:20:54.740><c> very</c><00:20:54.940><c> difficult.</c>

00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:58.519
They<00:20:56.700><c> had</c><00:20:56.900><c> to</c><00:20:57.140><c> remain</c><00:20:57.460><c> faithful.</c>

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.039
And<00:20:59.099><c> they</c><00:20:59.200><c> didn't</c><00:20:59.400><c> have</c><00:20:59.619><c> their</c><00:21:01.880><c> writings.</c>

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.400
They<00:21:03.359><c> didn't</c><00:21:03.579><c> have</c><00:21:03.920><c> their</c><00:21:04.640><c> Jewish</c><00:21:05.000><c> books.</c>

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.960

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.279
They<00:21:07.460><c> didn't</c><00:21:07.759><c> have</c><00:21:08.019><c> any</c><00:21:08.299><c> sacrificial</c><00:21:08.839><c> worship.</c>

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:11.059
It<00:21:09.359><c> was</c><00:21:09.839><c> very,</c><00:21:10.259><c> very</c><00:21:10.599><c> difficult.</c>

00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:14.480
And<00:21:11.460><c> when</c><00:21:11.680><c> Babylon</c><00:21:12.000><c> came</c><00:21:12.380><c> across,</c><00:21:13.359><c> whole</c><00:21:13.539><c> families</c><00:21:14.079><c> didn't</c>

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.779
Women<00:21:18.380><c> were</c><00:21:18.660><c> treated</c><00:21:18.980><c> by</c><00:21:19.279><c> the</c><00:21:19.500><c> Babylonians</c><00:21:20.119><c> like</c><00:21:20.339><c> women</c><00:21:20.559><c> were</c>

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:22.839
always<00:21:21.119><c> treated</c><00:21:21.420><c> in</c><00:21:21.880><c> war.</c>

00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:24.279
And<00:21:23.279><c> the</c><00:21:23.460><c> men</c><00:21:23.599><c> were</c><00:21:23.859><c> mutilated.</c>

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:25.460
Many<00:21:24.579><c> of</c><00:21:24.740><c> them</c><00:21:24.759><c> were</c><00:21:24.940><c> made</c><00:21:25.180><c> eunuchs.</c>

00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:27.319
Daniel<00:21:25.880><c> was</c><00:21:26.039><c> made</c><00:21:26.299><c> a</c><00:21:26.480><c> eunuch.</c>

00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:31.420
It<00:21:29.079><c> was</c><00:21:29.460><c> a</c><00:21:29.720><c> terrible,</c><00:21:30.099><c> terrible</c><00:21:30.400><c> time.</c>

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.359
And<00:21:32.279><c> we</c><00:21:32.579><c> think,</c><00:21:32.839><c> oh,</c><00:21:33.079><c> well,</c><00:21:33.200><c> that</c><00:21:33.279><c> was</c><00:21:33.740><c> ancient</c><00:21:33.980><c> Babylon.</c>

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.279
It's<00:21:34.700><c> okay</c><00:21:35.039><c> now.</c>

00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.119
We<00:21:35.619><c> live</c><00:21:35.779><c> in</c><00:21:35.940><c> a</c><00:21:36.039><c> tolerant</c><00:21:36.359><c> society.</c>

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:38.980
And<00:21:37.740><c> they</c><00:21:38.079><c> accept</c><00:21:38.539><c> everything.</c>

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:41.240
Well,<00:21:39.180><c> they</c><00:21:39.460><c> don't.</c>

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.500
They<00:21:41.779><c> don't</c><00:21:42.180><c> accept</c><00:21:42.500><c> everything.</c>

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.660
They<00:21:44.099><c> accept</c><00:21:44.420><c> everything</c><00:21:45.220><c> but</c><00:21:46.619><c> us.</c>

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:49.720
They<00:21:48.460><c> accept</c><00:21:48.740><c> everything</c><00:21:49.160><c> but</c><00:21:49.480><c> God.</c>

00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:53.380
They<00:21:50.079><c> accept</c><00:21:50.440><c> everything</c><00:21:50.940><c> but</c><00:21:51.619><c> any</c><00:21:52.279><c> difference</c><00:21:52.700><c> of</c><00:21:53.000><c> opinion.</c>

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:58.799
The<00:21:54.240><c> slightest</c><00:21:55.559><c> sign</c><00:21:56.660><c> that</c><00:21:56.880><c> you</c><00:21:57.140><c> don't</c><00:21:57.480><c> show</c><00:21:57.880><c> total</c><00:21:58.359><c> approval</c>

00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.880
of<00:21:59.220><c> all</c><00:21:59.700><c> that</c><00:21:59.839><c> they</c><00:22:00.140><c> stand</c><00:22:00.400><c> for,</c>

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:03.500
you'll<00:22:01.579><c> see</c><00:22:01.700><c> the</c><00:22:01.900><c> hatred</c><00:22:02.160><c> come</c><00:22:02.480><c> through.</c>

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:09.099
So<00:22:05.680><c> it</c><00:22:05.799><c> must</c><00:22:06.039><c> have</c><00:22:06.180><c> been</c><00:22:06.380><c> very,</c><00:22:06.779><c> very</c><00:22:07.039><c> difficult</c><00:22:07.539><c> for</c><00:22:08.440><c> the</c><00:22:08.680><c> Jews</c><00:22:08.880><c> as</c>

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:10.859
they<00:22:09.279><c> came</c><00:22:09.500><c> across</c><00:22:09.799><c> to</c><00:22:10.039><c> Babylon.</c>

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:23.220
Now,<00:22:17.539><c> so</c><00:22:18.140><c> you</c><00:22:18.559><c> go</c><00:22:18.819><c> through</c><00:22:19.039><c> this</c><00:22:19.299><c> culture</c><00:22:19.700><c> shock</c><00:22:20.180><c> and</c><00:22:20.839><c> you</c><00:22:21.079><c> think,</c><00:22:21.559><c> what</c><00:22:21.900><c> is</c>

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:24.400
life<00:22:23.599><c> worth</c><00:22:23.839><c> living</c><00:22:24.079><c> for?</c>

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.019
God's<00:22:25.359><c> obviously</c><00:22:25.940><c> given</c><00:22:26.140><c> us</c><00:22:26.480><c> up</c><00:22:26.980><c> because</c><00:22:27.480><c> I</c><00:22:27.640><c> told</c><00:22:27.920><c> my</c><00:22:28.259><c> son</c><00:22:28.680><c> and</c>

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:30.039
I<00:22:29.160><c> told</c><00:22:29.359><c> my</c><00:22:29.640><c> daughter</c>

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.960
that<00:22:30.740><c> the</c><00:22:31.000><c> Babylonians</c><00:22:31.460><c> had</c><00:22:31.579><c> never</c><00:22:31.720><c> come</c><00:22:31.940><c> in</c><00:22:32.099><c> here.</c>

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.220
Just<00:22:33.480><c> like</c><00:22:33.700><c> the</c><00:22:33.779><c> days</c><00:22:33.960><c> of</c><00:22:34.140><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:22:34.700><c> he'd</c><00:22:34.940><c> destroy</c><00:22:35.220><c> them.</c>

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.559
And<00:22:36.359><c> just</c><00:22:36.500><c> like</c><00:22:36.720><c> the</c><00:22:36.839><c> days</c><00:22:37.180><c> of</c><00:22:37.700><c> Nadav</c><00:22:38.019><c> and</c><00:22:38.160><c> Abihu,</c>

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.500
God<00:22:38.779><c> would</c><00:22:39.019><c> take</c><00:22:39.299><c> care</c><00:22:39.660><c> of</c><00:22:40.220><c> those</c><00:22:40.640><c> who</c><00:22:41.059><c> ever</c><00:22:41.380><c> touched</c><00:22:41.759><c> the</c><00:22:42.039><c> sanctity</c><00:22:42.420><c> of</c>

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.900
His<00:22:42.640><c> holy</c><00:22:42.960><c> things.</c>

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:45.980
And<00:22:44.359><c> none</c><00:22:44.539><c> of</c><00:22:44.619><c> that</c><00:22:44.759><c> even</c><00:22:44.980><c> happened.</c>

00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:47.920
We<00:22:46.960><c> couldn't</c><00:22:47.259><c> foretell</c><00:22:47.740><c> it.</c>

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:51.880
My<00:22:48.740><c> worldview</c><00:22:49.200><c> has</c><00:22:50.740><c> been</c><00:22:51.019><c> completely</c><00:22:51.519><c> shattered.</c>

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:53.980
I<00:22:52.259><c> didn't</c><00:22:52.460><c> expect</c><00:22:52.960><c> it</c><00:22:53.160><c> to</c><00:22:53.259><c> go</c><00:22:53.400><c> like</c><00:22:53.700><c> this.</c>

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:56.640
I<00:22:54.279><c> didn't</c><00:22:54.660><c> foresee</c><00:22:55.180><c> it,</c><00:22:55.680><c> but</c><00:22:55.940><c> it's</c><00:22:56.240><c> happened.</c>

00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.559
Everything<00:22:57.640><c> that</c><00:22:57.859><c> I'd</c><00:22:58.220><c> lived</c><00:22:58.400><c> for,</c><00:22:58.779><c> everything</c><00:22:58.940><c> I</c><00:22:59.099><c> gave</c><00:22:59.319><c> my</c>

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.980
What<00:23:03.259><c> is</c><00:23:03.700><c> the</c><00:23:03.960><c> point</c><00:23:04.680><c> of</c><00:23:05.220><c> serving</c><00:23:05.880><c> God?</c>

00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:11.720
And<00:23:08.000><c> Babylon</c><00:23:08.299><c> now</c><00:23:08.759><c> wants</c><00:23:09.099><c> to</c><00:23:09.279><c> put</c><00:23:09.359><c> them</c><00:23:09.539><c> through</c><00:23:09.819><c> this</c>

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.160
enculturation<00:23:13.420><c> process</c>

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:20.500
whereby<00:23:14.900><c> they</c><00:23:15.519><c> give</c><00:23:15.680><c> up</c><00:23:16.000><c> all</c><00:23:16.359><c> their</c><00:23:16.599><c> Jewishness</c><00:23:17.599><c> and</c><00:23:18.319><c> they</c><00:23:18.559><c> become</c><00:23:19.000><c> all</c><00:23:19.599><c> of</c><00:23:19.839><c> Babylonian.</c>

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.299
That's<00:23:21.079><c> what</c><00:23:21.200><c> it's</c><00:23:21.460><c> about.</c>

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:24.539
Don't<00:23:22.880><c> bother.</c><00:23:23.640><c> What's</c><00:23:23.960><c> the</c><00:23:24.180><c> point?</c>

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:27.099
You're<00:23:25.099><c> not</c><00:23:25.220><c> going</c><00:23:25.339><c> to</c><00:23:25.440><c> get</c><00:23:25.539><c> your</c><00:23:25.859><c> fig</c><00:23:26.039><c> trees</c><00:23:26.259><c> to</c><00:23:26.559><c> settle</c><00:23:26.740><c> under.</c>

00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:28.880

88.

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:26.819
Well,<00:24:24.700><c> we</c><00:24:24.819><c> might</c><00:24:24.980><c> be</c><00:24:25.119><c> a</c><00:24:25.299><c> few</c><00:24:25.440><c> years</c><00:24:25.720><c> out.</c>

50<00:24:30.599><c> years,</c><00:24:30.900><c> and</c><00:24:31.019><c> that</c><00:24:31.220><c> was</c><00:24:31.380><c> significant</c><00:24:31.920><c> for</c><00:24:32.180><c> us</c><00:24:32.400><c> all.</c>

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:34.779
So<00:24:33.460><c> we</c><00:24:33.579><c> changed</c><00:24:33.940><c> our</c><00:24:34.200><c> dates,</c><00:24:34.440><c> didn't</c><00:24:34.619><c> we?</c>

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.279
We<00:24:34.940><c> said,</c><00:24:35.099><c> well,</c><00:24:35.539><c> maybe</c><00:24:35.740><c> 48's</c><00:24:36.299><c> not</c><00:24:36.559><c> the</c><00:24:36.779><c> date</c><00:24:36.980><c> we</c><00:24:37.140><c> should</c><00:24:37.700><c> date</c>

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:43.079
And<00:24:41.019><c> we</c><00:24:41.160><c> keep</c><00:24:41.339><c> doing</c><00:24:41.619><c> that.</c>

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:45.640
But<00:24:44.259><c> we're</c><00:24:44.460><c> still</c><00:24:44.700><c> wrong.</c>

00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:47.960
And<00:24:46.220><c> I'm</c><00:24:46.420><c> even</c><00:24:46.579><c> miffed</c><00:24:46.819><c> about</c><00:24:46.980><c> it.</c><00:24:47.119><c> I</c><00:24:47.119><c> think,</c><00:24:47.420><c> well,</c><00:24:47.619><c> how</c><00:24:47.779><c> much</c>

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:48.640

And<00:24:53.339><c> I</c><00:24:53.460><c> say,</c><00:24:53.759><c> well,</c><00:24:54.380><c> kids,</c><00:24:55.000><c> he</c><00:24:55.099><c> is.</c>

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.519
All<00:25:05.680><c> collectively</c><00:25:06.099><c> holding</c><00:25:08.099><c> our</c><00:25:08.420><c> breath,</c><00:25:08.660><c> thinking</c><00:25:09.000><c> Jesus</c>

00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:14.380
and<00:25:10.640><c> we</c><00:25:10.720><c> won't</c><00:25:10.920><c> have</c><00:25:11.180><c> to</c><00:25:11.319><c> get</c><00:25:11.480><c> our</c><00:25:11.740><c> insurance</c><00:25:12.099><c> or</c><00:25:12.420><c> our</c><00:25:12.720><c> superannuation</c><00:25:13.460><c> or</c><00:25:13.660><c> worry</c><00:25:13.900><c> about</c><00:25:14.140><c> our</c>

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:17.200
No,<00:25:15.920><c> it's</c><00:25:16.099><c> not</c><00:25:16.279><c> true.</c>

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:20.440
He<00:25:17.980><c> may</c><00:25:18.200><c> be</c><00:25:18.359><c> some</c><00:25:18.579><c> time</c><00:25:18.819><c> off,</c><00:25:19.180><c> but</c><00:25:19.339><c> he's</c><00:25:19.480><c> certainly</c><00:25:19.700><c> longer</c><00:25:19.940><c> than</c><00:25:20.079><c> what</c><00:25:20.240><c> any</c><00:25:20.359><c> of</c>

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:24.380
And<00:25:23.039><c> it's</c><00:25:23.420><c> worrying.</c>

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:30.039
And<00:25:25.160><c> so</c><00:25:25.220><c> we've</c><00:25:25.440><c> got</c><00:25:25.500><c> to</c><00:25:25.619><c> be</c><00:25:25.700><c> like</c><00:25:25.920><c> Daniel,</c><00:25:26.900><c> living</c><00:25:27.019><c> in</c><00:25:27.220><c> a</c><00:25:28.599><c> settled</c><00:25:28.940><c> condition</c><00:25:29.539><c> in</c><00:25:29.799><c> an</c>

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:40.420
Now,<00:25:34.140><c> Daniel</c><00:25:35.599><c> was</c><00:25:35.859><c> reaching</c><00:25:36.420><c> for</c><00:25:36.859><c> some</c><00:25:37.259><c> meaning</c><00:25:37.779><c> in</c><00:25:38.519><c> this</c>

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:08.319
But<00:26:05.980><c> you've</c><00:26:06.279><c> got</c><00:26:06.359><c> to</c><00:26:06.460><c> understand,</c><00:26:07.619><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:26:08.119><c> was</c>

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:22.400
There's<00:26:20.740><c> no</c><00:26:20.900><c> doubt</c><00:26:20.980><c> that</c><00:26:21.099><c> he</c><00:26:21.200><c> understood</c><00:26:21.539><c> the</c><00:26:21.759><c> Babylonian</c><00:26:22.160><c> history.</c>

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.519

00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:29.700

00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:31.099
because<00:26:30.059><c> that</c><00:26:30.339><c> was</c><00:26:30.500><c> significant</c>

00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:33.519
when<00:26:31.240><c> it</c><00:26:31.480><c> came</c><00:26:31.779><c> to</c><00:26:31.980><c> the</c><00:26:32.099><c> time</c><00:26:32.259><c> of</c><00:26:32.400><c> the</c><00:26:32.619><c> battle.</c>

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.400
It<00:26:34.400><c> was</c><00:26:34.619><c> Abraham,</c><00:26:35.220><c> the</c><00:26:35.500><c> Jew.</c>

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:40.779
And<00:26:37.059><c> he</c><00:26:37.180><c> met</c><00:26:37.400><c> with</c><00:26:37.640><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:26:38.339><c> the</c><00:26:38.460><c> King</c><00:26:38.660><c> of</c><00:26:38.880><c> Salem.</c>

00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:49.519
And<00:26:43.359><c> Babylon</c><00:26:44.099><c> or</c><00:26:46.180><c> Nebuchadnezzar,</c><00:26:48.619><c> deeply</c><00:26:49.059><c> religious,</c>

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.140
wanting<00:26:49.880><c> to</c><00:26:50.140><c> proselyte</c><00:26:50.539><c> and</c><00:26:50.940><c> create</c><00:26:51.339><c> unity</c><00:26:51.759><c> in</c><00:26:51.960><c> his</c><00:26:52.079><c> new</c><00:26:52.279><c> kingdom.</c>

00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:58.180
As<00:26:54.779><c> it</c><00:26:54.980><c> says</c><00:26:55.140><c> there,</c><00:26:55.720><c> you</c><00:26:56.099><c> read</c><00:26:56.380><c> some</c><00:26:56.619><c> historical</c><00:26:57.400><c> records.</c>

00:26:58.440 --> 00:26:59.720
His<00:26:58.599><c> god</c><00:26:58.680><c> was</c><00:26:58.900><c> probably</c><00:26:59.200><c> Marduk.</c>

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.380
His<00:27:00.460><c> dad's</c><00:27:00.940><c> god</c><00:27:01.079><c> was</c><00:27:02.279><c> Nabu,</c><00:27:02.859><c> from</c><00:27:03.140><c> which</c><00:27:03.319><c> he</c><00:27:03.440><c> was</c><00:27:03.660><c> named</c><00:27:03.940><c> after.</c>

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:09.559
And<00:27:04.859><c> there's</c><00:27:05.079><c> an</c><00:27:05.319><c> inscription</c><00:27:05.859><c> where</c><00:27:06.400><c> he</c><00:27:06.539><c> does</c><00:27:06.799><c> style</c><00:27:07.099><c> himself</c><00:27:07.500><c> as</c><00:27:07.740><c> Nabu's</c><00:27:08.220><c> beloved</c><00:27:08.500><c> and</c><00:27:08.779><c> favourite.</c>

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:12.119
So<00:27:09.859><c> he</c><00:27:10.319><c> thought</c><00:27:10.559><c> he</c><00:27:10.640><c> was</c><00:27:10.799><c> working</c><00:27:11.099><c> for</c><00:27:11.299><c> the</c><00:27:11.440><c> Babylonian</c><00:27:11.880><c> gods.</c>

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:14.440
There's<00:27:12.380><c> absolutely</c><00:27:12.680><c> no</c><00:27:12.900><c> doubt</c><00:27:13.039><c> about</c><00:27:13.299><c> that.</c>

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:17.420
He<00:27:16.299><c> ran</c><00:27:16.559><c> their</c><00:27:16.779><c> fan</c><00:27:17.119><c> club.</c>

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:21.660
He<00:27:17.880><c> did</c><00:27:18.079><c> everything</c><00:27:18.420><c> he</c><00:27:18.660><c> could</c><00:27:19.059><c> to</c><00:27:19.799><c> put</c><00:27:20.059><c> down</c><00:27:20.240><c> every</c><00:27:20.500><c> other</c>

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.059
That's<00:27:26.240><c> very</c><00:27:26.519><c> significant.</c>

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:29.680
That's<00:27:27.440><c> what</c><00:27:27.619><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:27:28.259><c> is</c><00:27:28.380><c> trying</c><00:27:28.539><c> to</c><00:27:28.700><c> do.</c>

00:27:29.700 --> 00:27:32.160
And<00:27:29.819><c> you're</c><00:27:29.960><c> Daniel</c><00:27:30.220><c> and</c><00:27:30.359><c> you're</c><00:27:30.500><c> trying</c><00:27:30.640><c> to</c><00:27:30.720><c> reach</c><00:27:30.940><c> for</c><00:27:31.079><c> a</c><00:27:31.140><c> bit</c><00:27:31.200><c> of</c><00:27:31.359><c> meaning.</c>

A<00:27:32.380><c> little</c><00:27:32.519><c> bit</c><00:27:32.680><c> of</c><00:27:32.779><c> meaning</c><00:27:32.980><c> in</c><00:27:33.119><c> all</c><00:27:33.339><c> of</c><00:27:33.480><c> this.</c>

Who<00:27:49.140><c> would</c><00:27:49.279><c> that</c><00:27:49.440><c> be?</c>

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:53.359
Yeah,<00:27:52.099><c> it's</c><00:27:52.279><c> Joseph.</c><00:27:52.599><c> We</c><00:27:52.720><c> all</c><00:27:52.920><c> know</c><00:27:53.099><c> it.</c>

Who's<00:27:53.900><c> got</c><00:27:54.119><c> the...</c>

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:01.119
Oh,<00:28:00.380><c> you</c><00:28:00.500><c> want</c><00:28:00.619><c> to</c><00:28:00.720><c> see</c><00:28:00.859><c> that,</c><00:28:01.099><c> do</c><00:28:01.119><c> you?</c>

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:02.400
I<00:28:01.200><c> was</c><00:28:01.339><c> going</c><00:28:01.420><c> to</c><00:28:01.519><c> show</c><00:28:01.579><c> the</c><00:28:01.740><c> kids.</c>

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:06.339
They're<00:28:04.500><c> the</c><00:28:04.720><c> aliens</c><00:28:05.039><c> that</c><00:28:05.279><c> come</c><00:28:05.619><c> to</c><00:28:05.980><c> Earth.</c>

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:07.960
They've<00:28:06.920><c> whizzed</c><00:28:07.380><c> them</c><00:28:07.579><c> away.</c>

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:09.500
They<00:28:08.460><c> want</c><00:28:08.640><c> to</c><00:28:08.839><c> make</c><00:28:08.980><c> them</c><00:28:09.160><c> aliens.</c>

but<00:28:12.599><c> apparently</c><00:28:12.599><c> you</c><00:28:12.819><c> do.</c>

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.339
Daniel<00:28:16.539><c> and</c><00:28:16.720><c> Joseph,</c><00:28:16.880><c> everybody</c><00:28:17.259><c> has</c><00:28:17.619><c> the</c><00:28:17.880><c> insert</c><00:28:18.099><c> in</c><00:28:18.220><c> their</c>

Bible,<00:28:18.579><c> don't</c><00:28:18.740><c> they?</c>

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:19.460
It's<00:28:19.079><c> good.</c>

00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:20.759
It's<00:28:19.839><c> good.</c>

00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.240
But<00:28:21.019><c> Daniel</c><00:28:21.220><c> would</c><00:28:21.440><c> reach</c><00:28:22.059><c> back</c><00:28:22.279><c> in</c><00:28:22.380><c> his</c><00:28:22.519><c> mind</c><00:28:22.720><c> and</c><00:28:22.920><c> he'd</c><00:28:23.160><c> think,</c>

00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.720
I'm<00:28:23.660><c> just</c><00:28:23.960><c> like,</c><00:28:24.720><c> I'm</c><00:28:25.460><c> an</c><00:28:25.599><c> exile.</c>

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.619
He<00:28:25.920><c> was</c><00:28:26.039><c> an</c><00:28:26.200><c> exile.</c>

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.700
We<00:28:27.119><c> were</c><00:28:27.119><c> both</c><00:28:27.420><c> young.</c>

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.319
Going<00:28:28.140><c> across,</c><00:28:28.759><c> it</c><00:28:28.819><c> was</c><00:28:28.839><c> terrible</c><00:28:29.259><c> what</c><00:28:29.420><c> happened.</c>

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:34.640
Daniel<00:28:31.819><c> knows</c><00:28:32.259><c> he's</c><00:28:32.700><c> not</c><00:28:32.960><c> one</c><00:28:33.160><c> of</c><00:28:33.299><c> the</c><00:28:33.680><c> sinners.</c>

00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:36.619
He's<00:28:35.140><c> not</c><00:28:35.440><c> self</c><00:28:35.700><c>-righteous.</c>

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.480
Not<00:28:36.960><c> like</c><00:28:37.240><c> that.</c>

00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.079
But<00:28:37.720><c> he</c><00:28:37.839><c> does</c><00:28:38.119><c> love</c><00:28:38.400><c> God</c><00:28:38.880><c> and</c><00:28:39.200><c> he</c><00:28:39.380><c> is</c><00:28:39.660><c> young</c><00:28:39.900><c> and</c><00:28:40.039><c> he</c><00:28:40.140><c> is</c><00:28:40.400><c> following</c><00:28:40.700><c> God.</c>

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.039
He<00:28:41.420><c> knows</c><00:28:41.759><c> it's</c><00:28:41.980><c> not</c><00:28:42.200><c> his</c><00:28:42.519><c> fault.</c>

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:45.420
No<00:28:43.559><c> matter</c><00:28:43.759><c> what</c><00:28:44.099><c> contribution</c><00:28:44.660><c> he</c><00:28:44.779><c> may</c><00:28:44.940><c> have</c><00:28:45.059><c> made</c><00:28:45.220><c> in</c><00:28:45.339><c> the</c>

00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:46.180
big<00:28:45.680><c> scheme</c><00:28:45.839><c> of</c><00:28:46.000><c> things</c>

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:49.059
to<00:28:46.380><c> them</c><00:28:46.480><c> being</c><00:28:46.700><c> carried</c><00:28:46.980><c> across</c><00:28:47.259><c> to</c><00:28:47.500><c> Babylon,</c><00:28:47.740><c> he</c><00:28:47.900><c> knows.</c>

00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:51.019
Like<00:28:49.980><c> Joseph.</c>

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:53.019
He's<00:28:52.420><c> a</c><00:28:52.579><c> godly</c><00:28:52.839><c> man.</c>

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:54.900
He's<00:28:53.380><c> trying</c><00:28:53.500><c> his</c><00:28:53.799><c> best.</c>

00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.420
Both<00:28:58.000><c> were</c><00:28:58.259><c> publicly</c><00:28:58.619><c> humiliated</c><00:28:59.259><c> by</c><00:28:59.480><c> false</c><00:28:59.779><c> accusations.</c>

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:02.140
Both<00:29:00.819><c> were</c><00:29:01.039><c> vindicated.</c>

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:04.200
Both<00:29:02.579><c> were</c><00:29:02.900><c> renowned</c><00:29:03.200><c> for</c><00:29:03.460><c> interpreting</c><00:29:03.880><c> dreams.</c>

00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:06.380
We'll<00:29:04.440><c> find</c><00:29:04.579><c> this</c><00:29:04.779><c> out</c><00:29:04.980><c> in</c><00:29:05.180><c> Chapter</c><00:29:05.400><c> 2.</c>

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:10.099
Both<00:29:06.839><c> elevated</c><00:29:07.339><c> to</c><00:29:08.019><c> 2IC</c><00:29:08.440><c> in</c><00:29:08.960><c> the</c><00:29:09.160><c> kingdom.</c>

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.039
And<00:29:11.160><c> that</c><00:29:11.359><c> happened</c><00:29:11.599><c> around</c><00:29:11.920><c> in</c><00:29:12.099><c> the</c><00:29:12.180><c> second</c><00:29:12.319><c> or</c><00:29:12.460><c> third</c><00:29:12.680><c> year</c>

00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:14.180
of<00:29:13.420><c> them</c><00:29:13.619><c> being</c><00:29:13.940><c> there</c>

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:16.099
in<00:29:14.319><c> that</c><00:29:14.619><c> exiled</c><00:29:15.039><c> condition.</c>

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.359
Both<00:29:16.859><c> were</c><00:29:17.180><c> recognised</c><00:29:17.599><c> as</c><00:29:17.839><c> possessing</c><00:29:18.279><c> gifts</c><00:29:18.480><c> from</c><00:29:18.680><c> God,</c><00:29:19.220><c> as</c>

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:19.819
wise<00:29:19.640><c> men,</c>

00:29:20.059 --> 00:29:22.440
and<00:29:20.059><c> they</c><00:29:20.339><c> became</c><00:29:20.720><c> saviours</c><00:29:21.200><c> of</c><00:29:21.319><c> their</c><00:29:21.480><c> people.</c>

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:28.579
So<00:29:23.220><c> Daniel's</c><00:29:23.740><c> starting</c><00:29:24.200><c> to</c><00:29:24.539><c> learn</c><00:29:24.720><c> now</c><00:29:25.480><c> about</c><00:29:26.259><c> himself</c><00:29:27.680><c> in</c><00:29:28.099><c> Babylon</c>

00:29:28.579 --> 00:29:32.279
and<00:29:29.119><c> he's</c><00:29:29.359><c> reaching</c><00:29:29.700><c> for</c><00:29:30.119><c> something</c><00:29:30.579><c> to</c><00:29:30.819><c> hold</c><00:29:31.039><c> onto</c><00:29:31.380><c> to</c><00:29:31.599><c> give</c><00:29:31.799><c> him</c>

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:35.279
a<00:29:32.539><c> little</c><00:29:32.779><c> bit</c><00:29:32.940><c> of</c><00:29:33.119><c> encouragement</c><00:29:33.519><c> to</c><00:29:33.839><c> continue</c><00:29:34.539><c> faithfully.</c>

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:39.640
And<00:29:35.900><c> although</c><00:29:36.200><c> he</c><00:29:36.319><c> doesn't</c><00:29:36.680><c> know</c><00:29:36.940><c> it,</c><00:29:37.339><c> he's</c><00:29:37.559><c> going</c><00:29:37.720><c> to</c><00:29:38.019><c> see</c><00:29:38.700><c> soon</c>

00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:44.059
that<00:29:39.980><c> he'll</c><00:29:40.200><c> be</c><00:29:40.339><c> able</c><00:29:40.539><c> to</c><00:29:40.839><c> calibrate</c><00:29:41.339><c> his</c><00:29:41.660><c> life</c><00:29:42.160><c> in</c><00:29:43.319><c> an</c><00:29:43.579><c> exiled</c>

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:44.900
place<00:29:44.339><c> of</c><00:29:44.519><c> Babylon</c>

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:46.660
on<00:29:45.480><c> the</c><00:29:45.700><c> basis</c><00:29:46.019><c> of</c><00:29:46.279><c> Joseph.</c>

00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:51.220
And<00:29:47.200><c> it's</c><00:29:47.359><c> funny,</c><00:29:47.700><c> you</c><00:29:47.799><c> know,</c><00:29:47.799><c> we</c><00:29:47.940><c> put</c><00:29:48.140><c> those</c><00:29:49.480><c> inserts</c><00:29:50.460><c> in</c><00:29:50.700><c> our</c><00:29:50.900><c> Bible</c>

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:53.579
and<00:29:51.700><c> we</c><00:29:51.980><c> tick</c><00:29:52.140><c> the</c><00:29:52.319><c> box</c><00:29:52.480><c> and</c><00:29:52.599><c> we</c><00:29:52.680><c> go,</c><00:29:52.779><c> oh,</c><00:29:52.900><c> isn't</c><00:29:53.039><c> that</c><00:29:53.259><c> wonderful?</c>

00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:54.779
Did<00:29:54.140><c> you</c><00:29:54.279><c> get</c><00:29:54.400><c> that</c><00:29:54.660><c> point?</c>

00:29:54.859 --> 00:29:56.079
Oh,<00:29:55.140><c> no,</c><00:29:55.420><c> I</c><00:29:55.559><c> missed</c><00:29:55.680><c> that</c><00:29:55.960><c> point.</c>

00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:57.440
I<00:29:56.160><c> put</c><00:29:56.299><c> that</c><00:29:56.500><c> one</c><00:29:56.640><c> in.</c>

00:29:57.619 --> 00:29:58.880
Good,<00:29:58.119><c> do</c><00:29:58.420><c> that.</c>

00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:00.680
But<00:29:59.640><c> what</c><00:30:00.019><c> do</c><00:30:00.140><c> we</c><00:30:00.380><c> learn?</c>

00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:02.940
We<00:30:00.920><c> learn</c><00:30:01.240><c> by</c><00:30:01.559><c> listening</c><00:30:01.900><c> to,</c><00:30:02.259><c> learning</c><00:30:02.480><c> about</c><00:30:02.720><c> Daniel,</c>

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.779
we<00:30:03.099><c> learn</c><00:30:03.220><c> about</c><00:30:03.420><c> Joseph.</c>

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:05.539
By<00:30:03.980><c> learning</c><00:30:04.200><c> about</c><00:30:04.400><c> Joseph,</c><00:30:04.759><c> we</c><00:30:04.880><c> learn</c><00:30:05.039><c> about</c><00:30:05.299><c> Daniel.</c>

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:08.819
By<00:30:05.740><c> learning</c><00:30:06.019><c> about</c><00:30:06.279><c> both</c><00:30:06.539><c> of</c><00:30:06.700><c> them,</c><00:30:06.799><c> who</c><00:30:07.019><c> do</c><00:30:07.140><c> we</c><00:30:07.279><c> learn</c><00:30:07.460><c> most</c><00:30:07.819><c> about?</c>

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.500
That's<00:30:10.279><c> right,</c><00:30:10.420><c> the</c><00:30:10.519><c> Lord</c><00:30:10.640><c> Jesus</c><00:30:10.960><c> Christ.</c>

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.799
That's<00:30:11.900><c> what</c><00:30:12.039><c> they're</c><00:30:12.380><c> here</c><00:30:12.599><c> for.</c>

00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:15.240
They're<00:30:13.079><c> models</c><00:30:13.319><c> of</c><00:30:13.680><c> what</c><00:30:13.859><c> he</c><00:30:14.099><c> went</c><00:30:14.319><c> through.</c>

00:30:15.619 --> 00:30:19.000
And<00:30:15.720><c> in</c><00:30:16.079><c> understanding</c><00:30:16.579><c> those,</c><00:30:17.799><c> we</c><00:30:17.980><c> can</c><00:30:18.160><c> apply</c><00:30:18.460><c> to</c><00:30:18.640><c> ourselves.</c>

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:20.660
This<00:30:19.240><c> is</c><00:30:19.359><c> what's</c><00:30:19.559><c> good</c><00:30:19.720><c> about</c><00:30:19.940><c> this</c><00:30:20.420><c> book.</c>

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.599
People<00:30:21.200><c> go,</c><00:30:21.539><c> oh,</c><00:30:21.740><c> it's</c><00:30:21.859><c> just</c><00:30:22.000><c> all</c><00:30:22.140><c> the</c><00:30:22.279><c> old</c><00:30:22.460><c> stuff.</c>

00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:23.680
It's<00:30:22.799><c> not.</c>

00:30:23.900 --> 00:30:24.559
It's<00:30:24.299><c> good.</c>

00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:28.339

00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:32.380
Oh,<00:30:31.119><c> I</c><00:30:31.119><c> hate</c><00:30:31.380><c> to</c><00:30:31.559><c> kill</c><00:30:31.720><c> a</c><00:30:31.940><c> mockingbird.</c>

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:34.099
It's<00:30:32.539><c> so</c><00:30:32.920><c> old.</c>

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.740
But<00:30:36.400><c> for</c><00:30:36.660><c> the</c><00:30:36.819><c> kids,</c><00:30:37.039><c> they've</c><00:30:37.119><c> never</c><00:30:37.259><c> even</c><00:30:37.420><c> heard</c><00:30:37.579><c> of</c><00:30:37.720><c> it.</c>

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:40.359

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:42.079
And<00:30:40.660><c> they</c><00:30:40.839><c> find</c><00:30:41.039><c> it</c><00:30:41.240><c> really,</c><00:30:41.480><c> really</c><00:30:41.680><c> interesting,</c>

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:43.640
Harper<00:30:42.539><c> Lee's</c><00:30:42.859><c> book.</c>

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:45.880
And<00:30:44.180><c> when</c><00:30:44.299><c> you</c><00:30:44.559><c> teach</c><00:30:44.839><c> this,</c><00:30:45.220><c> you</c><00:30:45.420><c> might</c><00:30:45.680><c> think,</c>

00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:47.400
oh,<00:30:46.160><c> I've</c><00:30:46.359><c> heard</c><00:30:46.500><c> all</c><00:30:46.660><c> this</c><00:30:46.859><c> before.</c>

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:51.500
But<00:30:48.119><c> don't</c><00:30:48.640><c> forget</c><00:30:49.039><c> it,</c><00:30:49.660><c> because</c><00:30:50.000><c> your</c><00:30:50.220><c> grandkids</c>

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:53.920
and<00:30:51.980><c> your</c><00:30:52.240><c> children</c><00:30:52.519><c> need</c><00:30:52.700><c> to</c><00:30:52.920><c> hear</c><00:30:53.019><c> it.</c>

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:55.460
It's<00:30:54.480><c> very,</c><00:30:54.799><c> very</c><00:30:55.019><c> important.</c>

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.119
Daniel<00:30:55.839><c> needed</c><00:30:56.119><c> to</c><00:30:56.460><c> understand</c><00:30:56.859><c> it</c><00:30:57.039><c> too,</c>

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:58.880
and<00:30:57.200><c> he</c><00:30:57.279><c> was</c><00:30:57.460><c> starting</c><00:30:57.740><c> to</c><00:30:58.039><c> form</c><00:30:58.160><c> an</c><00:30:58.420><c> understanding</c>

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:05.700

00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.220
It<00:31:05.980><c> was</c><00:31:06.240><c> very,</c><00:31:06.619><c> very,</c><00:31:06.920><c> very</c><00:31:07.220><c> important.</c>

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.000
Now,<00:31:10.579><c> we</c><00:31:10.720><c> go</c><00:31:10.859><c> to</c><00:31:11.000><c> Daniel</c><00:31:11.240><c> chapter</c><00:31:11.519><c> one</c><00:31:11.680><c> again.</c>

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.099
What<00:31:12.480><c> time</c><00:31:12.680><c> is</c><00:31:12.859><c> it?</c>

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.039
What<00:31:13.640><c> time</c><00:31:13.799><c> are</c><00:31:13.859><c> we</c><00:31:13.960><c> meant</c><00:31:14.039><c> to</c><00:31:14.259><c> finish?</c>

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:17.859
15<00:31:17.359><c> minutes.</c>

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.140

00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:31.359
Because<00:31:29.920><c> I'll</c><00:31:30.420><c> be</c><00:31:30.960><c> watching.</c>

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:34.920
I've<00:31:31.519><c> got</c><00:31:31.579><c> my</c><00:31:31.819><c> spies</c><00:31:32.059><c> in</c><00:31:32.279><c> here</c><00:31:32.400><c> when</c><00:31:32.500><c> I'm</c><00:31:32.779><c> over</c><00:31:33.039><c> at</c><00:31:33.559><c> the</c><00:31:33.980><c> teenagers.</c>

00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:38.339
All<00:31:35.240><c> right,</c><00:31:35.279><c> we've</c><00:31:35.460><c> got</c><00:31:35.519><c> to</c><00:31:35.960><c> make</c><00:31:36.259><c> some</c><00:31:36.900><c> ground</c><00:31:37.180><c> up</c><00:31:37.400><c> now.</c>

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.900
So<00:31:39.359><c> Daniel,</c><00:31:41.660><c> they</c><00:31:42.279><c> come</c><00:31:42.500><c> in.</c>

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.720
Some<00:31:43.279><c> of</c><00:31:43.539><c> the</c><00:31:43.920><c> nobility</c><00:31:44.380><c> and</c><00:31:44.640><c> the</c><00:31:44.839><c> elite</c><00:31:45.079><c> of</c><00:31:45.339><c> Israel,</c>

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:47.220
and<00:31:45.940><c> Daniel's</c><00:31:46.140><c> one</c><00:31:46.279><c> of</c><00:31:46.359><c> them,</c><00:31:46.500><c> are</c><00:31:46.700><c> separated</c>

00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:51.819
because<00:31:47.900><c> they're</c><00:31:48.779><c> going</c><00:31:48.940><c> to</c><00:31:49.140><c> be</c><00:31:49.480><c> trained</c><00:31:49.859><c> specifically.</c>

00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:52.880
They<00:31:52.160><c> want</c><00:31:52.420><c> the</c><00:31:52.640><c> brains.</c>

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.259
Nebuchadnezzar,<00:31:53.759><c> he's</c><00:31:54.119><c> a</c><00:31:54.279><c> smart</c><00:31:55.579><c> administrator,</c>

00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:59.759
and<00:31:56.440><c> he</c><00:31:56.599><c> wants</c><00:31:56.880><c> to</c><00:31:57.119><c> make</c><00:31:57.279><c> sure</c><00:31:57.460><c> his</c><00:31:57.700><c> kingdom</c><00:31:58.480><c> continues.</c>

00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.599
So<00:32:00.279><c> he's</c><00:32:00.380><c> going</c><00:32:00.460><c> to</c><00:32:00.519><c> get</c><00:32:00.579><c> the</c><00:32:01.000><c> smartest.</c>

00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:03.819
Those<00:32:02.160><c> that</c><00:32:02.279><c> have</c><00:32:02.400><c> knowledge</c><00:32:02.619><c> and</c><00:32:02.819><c> understanding</c><00:32:03.099><c> can</c><00:32:03.299><c> be</c><00:32:03.559><c> taught</c>

00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:04.980
and<00:32:04.140><c> make</c><00:32:04.279><c> them</c><00:32:04.460><c> Babylonians,</c>

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.720
and<00:32:05.119><c> he's</c><00:32:05.240><c> going</c><00:32:05.380><c> to</c><00:32:05.480><c> make</c><00:32:05.619><c> them</c><00:32:05.920><c> work</c><00:32:06.119><c> for</c><00:32:06.359><c> him,</c>

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:08.980
serve<00:32:07.400><c> in</c><00:32:07.519><c> an</c><00:32:07.660><c> official</c><00:32:07.960><c> capacity</c><00:32:08.519><c> in</c><00:32:08.700><c> the</c><00:32:08.880><c> court.</c>

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:10.740
And<00:32:09.079><c> that's</c><00:32:09.220><c> why</c><00:32:09.400><c> they've</c><00:32:09.579><c> been</c><00:32:09.799><c> separated.</c>

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:13.500
Now,<00:32:12.039><c> look</c><00:32:12.420><c> what</c><00:32:12.579><c> happens.</c>

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:14.619
So<00:32:13.940><c> this</c><00:32:14.140><c> is</c><00:32:14.279><c> what</c><00:32:14.400><c> happened.</c>

00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:19.799
Babylon,<00:32:15.259><c> in</c><00:32:15.480><c> this</c><00:32:15.819><c> enculturation</c><00:32:16.700><c> process,</c><00:32:17.920><c> wants</c><00:32:18.019><c> to</c><00:32:18.319><c> do</c><00:32:18.400><c> this.</c>

00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.599
Made<00:32:21.259><c> them</c><00:32:21.500><c> eunuchs,</c><00:32:22.240><c> took</c><00:32:22.400><c> them</c><00:32:22.559><c> from</c><00:32:22.759><c> other</c><00:32:23.059><c> captives,</c>

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:25.559
separated<00:32:24.140><c> them,</c><00:32:24.500><c> taught</c><00:32:24.640><c> them</c><00:32:24.779><c> for</c><00:32:24.940><c> three</c><00:32:25.240><c> years,</c>

00:32:30.059 --> 00:32:31.660
trained<00:32:30.319><c> them</c><00:32:30.579><c> how</c><00:32:30.759><c> to</c><00:32:30.920><c> conduct</c><00:32:31.160><c> themselves,</c>

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.140
and<00:32:32.480><c> renamed</c><00:32:32.920><c> them</c><00:32:33.119><c> after</c><00:32:33.380><c> the</c><00:32:33.500><c> gods</c><00:32:33.619><c> of</c><00:32:33.839><c> Babylon.</c>

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:36.619
Now,<00:32:34.759><c> you're</c><00:32:35.019><c> Daniel</c><00:32:35.319><c> for</c><00:32:35.559><c> a</c><00:32:35.779><c> second,</c>

Yeah,<00:32:49.140><c> I'd</c><00:32:49.319><c> go</c><00:32:49.480><c> with</c><00:32:49.599><c> the</c><00:32:49.720><c> one</c><00:32:49.779><c> at</c><00:32:49.940><c> the</c><00:32:50.059><c> top</c><00:32:50.200><c> as</c><00:32:50.440><c> well.</c>

But,<00:32:56.880><c> yeah,</c><00:32:57.059><c> the</c><00:32:57.259><c> name.</c>

00:32:58.099 --> 00:33:01.519
I<00:32:58.119><c> mean,</c><00:32:58.640><c> they're</c><00:32:58.759><c> going</c><00:32:59.000><c> to</c><00:32:59.279><c> bestow</c><00:32:59.660><c> upon</c><00:32:59.859><c> us</c><00:33:00.319><c> a</c><00:33:00.720><c> Babylonian</c><00:33:01.240><c> god,</c>

00:33:01.700 --> 00:33:03.180
but<00:33:01.799><c> I'm</c><00:33:02.140><c> a</c><00:33:02.420><c> Jewish</c><00:33:02.660><c> person.</c>

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:04.339
I'm<00:33:03.380><c> not</c><00:33:03.619><c> going</c><00:33:03.799><c> to</c><00:33:03.940><c> accept</c><00:33:04.180><c> that.</c>

00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:04.759
But<00:33:04.519><c> then</c><00:33:04.640><c> again,</c>

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:06.579
that<00:33:04.880><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:05.099><c> change</c><00:33:05.519><c> who</c><00:33:05.700><c> you</c><00:33:05.940><c> are</c><00:33:06.039><c> as</c><00:33:06.200><c> a</c><00:33:06.400><c> character.</c>

00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:09.140
It's<00:33:06.720><c> just</c><00:33:08.079><c> a</c><00:33:08.259><c> title.</c>

00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:10.099
It's<00:33:09.819><c> nothing.</c>

00:33:10.099 --> 00:33:11.880
It's<00:33:10.920><c> just</c><00:33:11.019><c> a</c><00:33:11.160><c> name.</c>

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:13.759
But<00:33:13.160><c> I'll</c><00:33:13.339><c> tell</c><00:33:13.440><c> you</c><00:33:13.579><c> what,</c>

00:33:13.859 --> 00:33:15.500
you<00:33:13.960><c> don't</c><00:33:14.140><c> have</c><00:33:14.299><c> to</c><00:33:14.400><c> go</c><00:33:14.640><c> far</c><00:33:14.759><c> into</c><00:33:14.900><c> the</c><00:33:14.960><c> New</c><00:33:15.160><c> Testament,</c>

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:17.220
like<00:33:15.779><c> Mark</c><00:33:16.059><c> chapter</c><00:33:16.400><c> 7,</c>

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:22.980
to<00:33:17.400><c> make</c><00:33:17.779><c> a</c><00:33:18.000><c> good</c><00:33:18.259><c> case</c><00:33:19.279><c> for</c><00:33:20.640><c> objecting</c><00:33:21.259><c> to</c><00:33:21.420><c> the</c><00:33:21.640><c> education,</c>

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:25.559
because<00:33:24.440><c> like</c><00:33:24.859><c> Christ</c><00:33:25.160><c> says,</c>

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:28.599
it's<00:33:26.079><c> not</c><00:33:26.279><c> the</c><00:33:26.599><c> food</c><00:33:26.880><c> that</c><00:33:27.059><c> goes</c><00:33:27.339><c> into</c><00:33:27.599><c> you</c><00:33:27.720><c> that</c><00:33:27.880><c> defiles</c><00:33:28.440><c> you.</c>

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.059
That<00:33:28.799><c> just</c><00:33:30.660><c> leaves</c><00:33:30.960><c> you.</c>

00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.579
It's<00:33:32.640><c> what</c><00:33:32.759><c> goes</c><00:33:33.019><c> into</c><00:33:33.259><c> your</c><00:33:33.480><c> mind</c><00:33:33.720><c> and</c><00:33:33.940><c> settles</c><00:33:34.200><c> in</c><00:33:34.359><c> your</c><00:33:34.619><c> heart.</c>

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:37.680
If<00:33:36.720><c> you</c><00:33:36.920><c> and</c><00:33:37.039><c> I</c><00:33:37.240><c> were</c><00:33:37.359><c> Daniel,</c>

00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:39.480
we<00:33:37.880><c> would</c><00:33:38.079><c> have</c><00:33:38.240><c> probably</c><00:33:38.519><c> said</c><00:33:38.819><c> no.</c>

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:42.259
We<00:33:39.960><c> refuse</c><00:33:40.480><c> to</c><00:33:40.640><c> be</c><00:33:40.819><c> educated</c><00:33:41.240><c> by</c><00:33:41.440><c> the</c><00:33:41.559><c> Babylonians.</c>

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.180
We<00:33:42.759><c> don't</c><00:33:42.920><c> want</c><00:33:43.039><c> to</c><00:33:43.319><c> think</c><00:33:43.539><c> that</c><00:33:43.880><c> way.</c>

00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.680
We<00:33:44.359><c> don't</c><00:33:44.500><c> want</c><00:33:44.619><c> to</c><00:33:44.680><c> have</c><00:33:44.759><c> our</c><00:33:45.099><c> characters</c><00:33:45.420><c> changed</c>

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.619
because<00:33:46.279><c> of</c><00:33:46.420><c> the</c><00:33:46.519><c> new</c><00:33:46.660><c> knowledge</c><00:33:46.960><c> that</c><00:33:47.099><c> you're</c><00:33:47.200><c> going</c><00:33:47.279><c> to</c><00:33:47.380><c> give</c><00:33:47.460><c> us.</c>

00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.720
So<00:33:49.660><c> why</c><00:33:50.099><c> does</c><00:33:50.380><c> Daniel</c><00:33:50.759><c> say</c><00:33:51.099><c> no</c><00:33:51.440><c> to</c><00:33:51.579><c> the</c><00:33:51.839><c> wine?</c>

00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.500
Out<00:33:53.119><c> of</c><00:33:53.400><c> all</c><00:33:53.819><c> the</c><00:33:54.039><c> things,</c>

00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:56.880
why<00:33:55.079><c> does</c><00:33:55.180><c> he</c><00:33:55.359><c> say</c><00:33:55.559><c> no</c><00:33:55.740><c> to</c><00:33:55.880><c> the</c><00:33:56.059><c> wine?</c>

00:33:57.099 --> 00:34:00.740
That's<00:33:57.460><c> what</c><00:33:57.940><c> I</c><00:33:58.400><c> find</c><00:33:58.900><c> absolutely</c><00:33:59.920><c> amazing.</c>

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:02.880
And<00:34:01.440><c> it's</c><00:34:01.700><c> not,</c><00:34:02.400><c> brothers</c><00:34:02.420><c> and</c><00:34:02.640><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:05.960
just<00:34:03.400><c> because</c><00:34:03.859><c> it</c><00:34:04.160><c> was</c><00:34:04.420><c> offered</c><00:34:04.660><c> to</c><00:34:04.900><c> the</c><00:34:05.099><c> gods.</c>

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:07.720
The<00:34:06.619><c> clothes</c><00:34:07.119><c> he</c><00:34:07.500><c> wore,</c>

00:34:07.779 --> 00:34:09.099
the<00:34:08.079><c> chairs</c><00:34:08.400><c> he</c><00:34:08.659><c> sat</c><00:34:08.920><c> on,</c>

00:34:09.099 --> 00:34:11.380
the<00:34:09.260><c> whole</c><00:34:09.699><c> of</c><00:34:10.039><c> Babylon</c><00:34:10.239><c> was</c><00:34:10.440><c> offered</c><00:34:10.659><c> to</c><00:34:10.840><c> the</c><00:34:11.039><c> gods.</c>

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:12.860
He<00:34:11.840><c> couldn't</c><00:34:12.099><c> touch</c><00:34:12.500><c> anything</c>

00:34:12.860 --> 00:34:15.559
that<00:34:13.000><c> wasn't</c><00:34:13.380><c> dedicated</c><00:34:13.840><c> to</c><00:34:14.019><c> some</c><00:34:14.159><c> Babylonian</c><00:34:14.659><c> god.</c>

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.820
There<00:34:16.659><c> wasn't</c><00:34:16.860><c> a</c><00:34:17.000><c> reason.</c>

00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:20.739
There<00:34:18.920><c> wasn't</c><00:34:19.139><c> a</c><00:34:19.239><c> reason</c><00:34:19.500><c> at</c><00:34:19.719><c> all.</c>

00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:23.099
And<00:34:21.380><c> it</c><00:34:21.519><c> wasn't</c><00:34:21.519><c> just</c><00:34:21.780><c> because</c><00:34:22.059><c> it</c><00:34:22.500><c> came</c><00:34:22.699><c> to</c><00:34:22.840><c> the</c><00:34:22.940><c> king,</c>

00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:23.760
it<00:34:23.139><c> was</c><00:34:23.260><c> bread</c><00:34:23.460><c> and</c><00:34:23.579><c> wine,</c>

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.579
because<00:34:24.039><c> later</c><00:34:24.440><c> in</c><00:34:24.579><c> chapter</c><00:34:24.860><c> 10,</c>

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.320
when<00:34:25.980><c> it</c><00:34:26.059><c> comes</c><00:34:26.280><c> to</c><00:34:26.840><c> the</c><00:34:28.019><c> Persian</c><00:34:28.380><c> kingdom,</c>

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:32.400
Daniel<00:34:29.659><c> drinks</c><00:34:30.139><c> wine</c><00:34:30.719><c> and</c><00:34:31.199><c> he</c><00:34:31.320><c> eats</c><00:34:31.500><c> bread.</c>

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:34.699
So<00:34:32.760><c> it's</c><00:34:32.820><c> not</c><00:34:33.119><c> the</c><00:34:33.860><c> stuff,</c>

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.559
the<00:34:35.219><c> actual</c><00:34:35.639><c> literal</c><00:34:35.960><c> food</c><00:34:36.280><c> that's</c><00:34:36.579><c> the</c><00:34:36.739><c> problem.</c>

00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:41.199
There's<00:34:38.880><c> a</c><00:34:39.239><c> significance</c><00:34:39.780><c> here</c><00:34:40.219><c> attached</c><00:34:40.639><c> to</c><00:34:40.840><c> it.</c>

00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:43.420
There's<00:34:41.719><c> a</c><00:34:41.900><c> symbolism</c><00:34:42.400><c> attached</c><00:34:42.920><c> to</c><00:34:43.119><c> it,</c>

00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.139
which<00:34:43.639><c> we've</c><00:34:44.000><c> already</c><00:34:44.360><c> alluded</c><00:34:44.699><c> to,</c>

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.420
which<00:34:45.719><c> Babylon</c><00:34:46.400><c> was</c><00:34:47.039><c> mandating.</c>

00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.719
You've<00:34:49.420><c> got</c><00:34:49.420><c> to</c><00:34:49.659><c> drink.</c>

00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:52.360
You've<00:34:51.099><c> got</c><00:34:51.260><c> to</c><00:34:51.519><c> eat.</c>

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.000
You've<00:34:52.860><c> got</c><00:34:52.900><c> to</c><00:34:53.079><c> become</c><00:34:53.360><c> like</c><00:34:53.639><c> one</c><00:34:53.840><c> of</c><00:34:54.019><c> us.</c>

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.619
And<00:34:56.559><c> we</c><00:34:57.199><c> should</c><00:34:57.420><c> be</c><00:34:57.599><c> able</c><00:34:57.719><c> to</c><00:34:57.960><c> understand</c><00:34:58.300><c> it.</c>

00:34:58.940 --> 00:35:01.139
I'll<00:34:59.179><c> give</c><00:34:59.360><c> you</c><00:34:59.619><c> a</c><00:34:59.760><c> couple</c><00:34:59.920><c> of</c><00:35:00.219><c> examples,</c><00:35:00.679><c> okay?</c>

00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:02.300
Here's<00:35:01.739><c> a</c><00:35:01.860><c> good</c><00:35:02.019><c> one.</c>

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:05.599
So<00:35:03.079><c> do</c><00:35:03.320><c> you</c><00:35:03.500><c> ever</c><00:35:03.780><c> have</c><00:35:04.199><c> special</c><00:35:04.739><c> morning</c><00:35:05.239><c> teas</c>

00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.860
for<00:35:05.960><c> certain</c><00:35:06.820><c> things?</c>

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:09.659
I<00:35:07.920><c> mean,</c><00:35:08.119><c> you</c><00:35:08.179><c> have</c><00:35:08.340><c> morning</c><00:35:08.559><c> tea</c><00:35:08.800><c> at</c><00:35:09.139><c> work,</c><00:35:09.320><c> don't</c><00:35:09.480><c> you?</c>

00:35:09.820 --> 00:35:12.019
Does<00:35:09.960><c> everybody</c><00:35:10.300><c> have</c><00:35:10.559><c> tea</c><00:35:10.699><c> and</c><00:35:10.840><c> biscuits</c><00:35:11.059><c> at</c><00:35:11.260><c> work?</c>

00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:12.679
Yep,<00:35:12.440><c> okay.</c>

00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:14.860
Is<00:35:13.039><c> there</c><00:35:13.099><c> anything</c><00:35:13.239><c> wrong</c><00:35:13.460><c> with</c><00:35:13.599><c> eating</c><00:35:13.739><c> tea</c><00:35:13.940><c> and</c><00:35:14.059><c> biscuits?</c>

00:35:15.539 --> 00:35:16.360

Why<00:36:27.639><c> not?</c>

What,<00:36:35.780><c> have</c><00:36:35.880><c> we</c><00:36:36.000><c> been</c><00:36:36.199><c> judgmental?</c>

But<00:40:13.320><c> we're</c><00:40:14.179><c> not</c><00:40:14.300><c> going</c><00:40:14.380><c> to</c><00:40:14.480><c> have</c><00:40:14.679><c> anything</c><00:40:14.960><c> to</c><00:40:15.179><c> do</c><00:40:15.280><c> with</c><00:40:15.579><c> demons.</c>

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:18.119
We<00:40:17.300><c> don't</c><00:40:17.519><c> want</c><00:40:17.639><c> to</c><00:40:17.719><c> have</c><00:40:17.900><c> that.</c>

00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:20.119
We're<00:40:18.420><c> not</c><00:40:18.519><c> going</c><00:40:18.619><c> to</c><00:40:18.760><c> participate</c><00:40:19.460><c> with</c><00:40:19.739><c> demons.</c>

00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.659
You<00:40:20.300><c> can't</c><00:40:20.739><c> drink</c><00:40:20.980><c> the</c><00:40:21.239><c> cup</c><00:40:21.480><c> of</c><00:40:22.139><c> the</c><00:40:22.400><c> Lord.</c>

00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:23.980
And<00:40:22.920><c> let's</c><00:40:23.099><c> put</c><00:40:23.320><c> this</c><00:40:23.480><c> in</c><00:40:23.699><c> here.</c>

00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:25.840
The<00:40:24.420><c> cup</c><00:40:24.659><c> of</c><00:40:25.159><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:27.340
The<00:40:26.019><c> cup</c><00:40:26.219><c> of</c><00:40:26.500><c> Babylon.</c>

00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:30.179
You<00:40:27.820><c> can't</c><00:40:28.139><c> partake</c><00:40:28.480><c> of</c><00:40:28.599><c> the</c><00:40:28.780><c> table</c><00:40:29.019><c> of</c><00:40:29.179><c> the</c><00:40:29.320><c> Lord.</c>

00:40:30.619 --> 00:40:33.519
And<00:40:30.800><c> so</c><00:40:31.460><c> what</c><00:40:32.000><c> does</c><00:40:32.320><c> Babylon</c><00:40:32.659><c> always</c><00:40:33.340><c> do?</c>

00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:37.199
So<00:40:33.599><c> this</c><00:40:33.780><c> is</c><00:40:33.980><c> why</c><00:40:34.239><c> Daniel</c><00:40:34.679><c> refused</c><00:40:35.639><c> the</c><00:40:36.099><c> wine.</c>

00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:45.179
Because<00:40:38.559><c> he</c><00:40:38.739><c> understood</c><00:40:39.260><c> he</c><00:40:39.500><c> didn't</c><00:40:39.880><c> want</c><00:40:40.079><c> to</c><00:40:40.280><c> unite</c><00:40:40.739><c> with</c><00:40:41.780><c> the</c><00:40:42.079><c> common</c><00:40:42.380><c> values</c><00:40:43.039><c> of</c><00:40:44.280><c> Babylon.</c>

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.980
They<00:40:45.579><c> were</c><00:40:45.960><c> transgressing</c><00:40:46.619><c> the</c><00:40:46.780><c> commands,</c><00:40:47.360><c> the</c><00:40:47.559><c> plan,</c><00:40:47.840><c> the</c>

00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:48.739
purpose,<00:40:48.380><c> the</c><00:40:48.539><c> character,</c>

00:40:48.820 --> 00:40:50.079
and<00:40:48.940><c> all</c><00:40:49.099><c> the</c><00:40:49.300><c> values</c><00:40:49.500><c> of</c><00:40:49.760><c> God.</c>

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.139
And<00:40:50.699><c> he</c><00:40:50.860><c> understood</c><00:40:51.239><c> that</c><00:40:51.380><c> it</c><00:40:51.500><c> was</c><00:40:51.739><c> spiritual</c><00:40:52.179><c> food.</c>

00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:56.000
It<00:40:53.860><c> spoke</c><00:40:54.139><c> of</c><00:40:54.280><c> who</c><00:40:54.519><c> you</c><00:40:54.699><c> were</c><00:40:54.760><c> going</c><00:40:54.820><c> to</c><00:40:55.059><c> serve</c><00:40:55.400><c> and</c><00:40:55.639><c> who</c><00:40:55.840><c> you</c>

00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:56.719
were<00:40:56.039><c> going</c><00:40:56.179><c> to</c><00:40:56.360><c> worship.</c>

00:40:57.139 --> 00:40:59.539
And<00:40:57.320><c> in</c><00:40:57.440><c> the</c><00:40:57.679><c> context,</c><00:40:58.099><c> Daniel</c><00:40:58.420><c> knew</c><00:40:58.639><c> that</c><00:40:58.840><c> they</c><00:40:59.039><c> wanted</c><00:40:59.300><c> to</c>

00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:02.340
make<00:40:59.679><c> him</c><00:41:00.099><c> one</c><00:41:00.579><c> with</c><00:41:01.400><c> them.</c>

00:41:02.460 --> 00:41:04.420
And<00:41:02.980><c> it's</c><00:41:03.280><c> interesting,</c><00:41:03.840><c> isn't</c><00:41:03.980><c> it?</c>

00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:08.420
When<00:41:04.719><c> you</c><00:41:04.840><c> go</c><00:41:05.000><c> to</c><00:41:05.159><c> chapter</c><00:41:05.420><c> 11</c><00:41:05.719><c> of</c><00:41:05.980><c> Corinthians,</c><00:41:07.699><c> there's</c><00:41:08.199><c> the</c>

00:41:08.420 --> 00:41:09.280
cup<00:41:08.579><c> of</c><00:41:08.800><c> Christ.</c>

00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:14.400
And<00:41:09.659><c> what</c><00:41:09.780><c> was</c><00:41:10.059><c> Paul's</c><00:41:10.760><c> problem</c><00:41:11.260><c> with</c><00:41:12.059><c> the</c><00:41:12.400><c> way</c><00:41:12.619><c> they</c><00:41:13.199><c> had</c><00:41:13.639><c> the</c>

00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:16.599
supper<00:41:14.900><c> of</c><00:41:15.079><c> the</c><00:41:15.219><c> Lord</c><00:41:15.400><c> in</c><00:41:15.619><c> Corinthians?</c>

00:41:23.099 --> 00:41:23.619
Yeah.

00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:25.920
But<00:41:24.300><c> what</c><00:41:24.420><c> was</c><00:41:24.599><c> the</c><00:41:24.739><c> big</c><00:41:25.000><c> problem?</c>

00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.119
It<00:41:26.780><c> was</c><00:41:27.000><c> all</c><00:41:27.260><c> about</c><00:41:27.539><c> unity.</c>

00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:32.900
And<00:41:28.880><c> in</c><00:41:29.119><c> Corinth,</c><00:41:31.239><c> yes,</c><00:41:31.719><c> there</c><00:41:31.739><c> was</c><00:41:31.940><c> divisions.</c>

00:41:33.219 --> 00:41:34.659
There<00:41:33.340><c> was</c><00:41:33.539><c> divisions</c><00:41:33.940><c> amongst</c><00:41:34.380><c> you.</c>

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:36.579
That's<00:41:35.260><c> not</c><00:41:35.440><c> how</c><00:41:35.619><c> the</c><00:41:35.760><c> cup</c><00:41:35.880><c> of</c><00:41:36.019><c> Christ</c><00:41:36.320><c> works.</c>

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:38.639
Nebuchadnezzar's<00:41:37.639><c> cup</c><00:41:37.900><c> didn't</c><00:41:38.179><c> work.</c>

00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:40.880
Sorry,<00:41:39.119><c> it</c><00:41:39.300><c> worked</c><00:41:39.400><c> exactly</c><00:41:39.780><c> the</c><00:41:40.019><c> same.</c>

00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:44.099
Nebuchadnezzar<00:41:41.559><c> wanted</c><00:41:41.920><c> everybody</c><00:41:42.739><c> to</c><00:41:43.019><c> drink</c><00:41:43.199><c> from</c><00:41:43.380><c> his</c><00:41:43.679><c> cup</c>

00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:48.260
because<00:41:44.739><c> he</c><00:41:44.940><c> wanted</c><00:41:45.239><c> to</c><00:41:45.679><c> get</c><00:41:45.840><c> rid</c><00:41:46.000><c> of</c><00:41:46.300><c> the</c><00:41:46.719><c> divisions</c><00:41:47.440><c> of</c><00:41:47.900><c> Babel.</c>

00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:52.519
The<00:41:48.860><c> divisions</c><00:41:49.320><c> that</c><00:41:49.880><c> that</c><00:41:50.320><c> God,</c><00:41:51.219><c> the</c><00:41:51.440><c> God</c><00:41:51.579><c> of</c><00:41:51.760><c> the</c><00:41:51.940><c> Jews,</c><00:41:52.340><c> put</c>

00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.000
upon<00:41:52.840><c> us.</c>

00:41:54.139 --> 00:41:55.960
And<00:41:54.400><c> he</c><00:41:54.559><c> wanted</c><00:41:54.840><c> to</c><00:41:55.159><c> create</c><00:41:55.480><c> unity.</c>

00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:57.420
And<00:41:56.599><c> this</c><00:41:56.920><c> is</c><00:41:57.039><c> incredible.</c>

00:41:57.780 --> 00:41:58.539
Daniel<00:41:57.960><c> saw</c><00:41:58.280><c> it.</c>

00:41:58.619 --> 00:41:59.659
So<00:41:58.760><c> we</c><00:41:58.920><c> open</c><00:41:59.179><c> our</c><00:41:59.460><c> eyes.</c>

00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.820
We<00:41:59.840><c> see</c><00:42:00.079><c> it</c><00:42:00.239><c> in</c><00:42:00.340><c> our</c><00:42:00.519><c> daily</c><00:42:00.840><c> life.</c>

00:42:02.019 --> 00:42:06.639
We<00:42:02.079><c> know,</c><00:42:02.639><c> we</c><00:42:02.900><c> should</c><00:42:03.159><c> know,</c><00:42:03.559><c> we've</c><00:42:03.760><c> got</c><00:42:03.820><c> to</c><00:42:03.920><c> have</c><00:42:04.119><c> an</c><00:42:04.460><c> awareness,</c><00:42:05.300><c> a</c><00:42:05.559><c> spiritual</c><00:42:05.940><c> acute</c>

00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:07.920
and<00:42:06.980><c> keenness</c><00:42:07.340><c> about</c><00:42:07.559><c> ourselves</c>

00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.099
so<00:42:08.119><c> that</c><00:42:08.320><c> we</c><00:42:08.679><c> can</c><00:42:09.019><c> understand</c><00:42:09.539><c> what</c><00:42:10.139><c> is</c><00:42:11.320><c> something</c><00:42:11.699><c> we</c><00:42:11.880><c> should</c>

00:42:12.099 --> 00:42:13.800
stand<00:42:12.360><c> for</c><00:42:12.679><c> and</c><00:42:12.960><c> what</c><00:42:13.280><c> isn't.</c>

00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.039
What<00:42:14.219><c> does</c><00:42:14.579><c> have</c><00:42:14.920><c> a</c><00:42:15.139><c> spiritual</c><00:42:15.559><c> attachment</c><00:42:16.039><c> to</c><00:42:16.280><c> it,</c><00:42:16.599><c> which</c><00:42:16.780><c> we</c>

00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:17.619
stand<00:42:17.300><c> aside.</c>

00:42:17.820 --> 00:42:19.940
We<00:42:17.920><c> don't</c><00:42:18.059><c> have</c><00:42:18.119><c> to</c><00:42:18.219><c> make</c><00:42:18.340><c> a</c><00:42:18.440><c> big</c><00:42:18.699><c> song</c><00:42:18.960><c> and</c><00:42:19.179><c> dance</c><00:42:19.460><c> about</c><00:42:19.659><c> it,</c>

00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:21.280
but<00:42:20.099><c> we</c><00:42:20.340><c> quietly</c><00:42:20.559><c> say</c><00:42:20.880><c> no.</c>

00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.800
If<00:42:21.659><c> I</c><00:42:21.880><c> was</c><00:42:22.099><c> forced</c><00:42:22.420><c> to</c><00:42:22.599><c> have</c><00:42:22.739><c> to</c><00:42:22.800><c> go</c><00:42:22.880><c> to</c><00:42:22.960><c> an</c><00:42:23.079><c> LGBT</c><00:42:23.679><c> morning</c><00:42:24.559><c> tea</c>

at<00:42:24.980><c> school,</c><00:42:25.219><c> I</c><00:42:25.300><c> would</c><00:42:25.440><c> have</c><00:42:25.579><c> called</c><00:42:25.739><c> in</c><00:42:26.019><c> sick</c><00:42:26.139><c> that</c><00:42:26.380><c> day.</c>

00:42:27.059 --> 00:42:29.039
I<00:42:27.199><c> wouldn't</c><00:42:27.360><c> have</c><00:42:27.539><c> been</c><00:42:27.699><c> there.</c>

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:30.579
At<00:42:29.539><c> all.</c>

00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:36.219
Thankfully,<00:42:34.199><c> when</c><00:42:34.420><c> there's</c><00:42:34.599><c> an</c><00:42:34.800><c> option,</c><00:42:35.340><c> I</c><00:42:35.519><c> just</c><00:42:35.920><c> happen</c><00:42:36.079><c> to</c>

00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:41.619
No,<00:42:40.880><c> you</c><00:42:40.980><c> didn't</c><00:42:41.239><c> go.</c>

00:42:42.059 --> 00:42:42.780
No,<00:42:42.260><c> I</c><00:42:42.320><c> didn't</c><00:42:42.440><c> go.</c>

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:45.079
You<00:42:43.099><c> don't</c><00:42:43.239><c> have</c><00:42:43.380><c> to</c><00:42:43.519><c> make</c><00:42:43.659><c> a</c><00:42:43.940><c> huge</c><00:42:44.179><c> objection,</c><00:42:44.719><c> walk</c><00:42:44.940><c> around</c>

00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:45.900

00:42:45.900 --> 00:42:48.099
You<00:42:46.219><c> know,</c><00:42:46.320><c> they're</c><00:42:46.500><c> all</c><00:42:46.619><c> drinking</c><00:42:46.840><c> tea</c><00:42:47.079><c> and</c><00:42:47.179><c> coffee</c><00:42:47.380><c> coming.</c>

00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:50.039
We<00:42:48.559><c> hate,</c><00:42:49.019><c> you</c><00:42:49.199><c> know.</c>

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:53.699
That's<00:42:52.519><c> not</c><00:42:52.699><c> the</c><00:42:52.820><c> way</c><00:42:52.960><c> we're</c><00:42:53.159><c> meant</c><00:42:53.219><c> to</c><00:42:53.420><c> act.</c>

00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:55.360
It's<00:42:54.059><c> not</c><00:42:54.219><c> Christ's</c><00:42:54.679><c> life.</c>

00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:58.539
And<00:42:56.300><c> Christ's</c><00:42:56.659><c> first</c><00:42:56.960><c> miracle</c><00:42:57.400><c> proved</c><00:42:57.900><c> that</c><00:42:58.119><c> this</c><00:42:58.300><c> is</c><00:42:58.420><c> what</c>

00:42:58.539 --> 00:42:59.400
his<00:42:58.760><c> life</c><00:42:58.940><c> was</c><00:42:59.159><c> about.</c>

00:42:59.539 --> 00:43:01.219
I'm<00:42:59.719><c> going</c><00:42:59.800><c> to</c><00:43:00.079><c> share</c><00:43:00.360><c> this</c><00:43:00.559><c> with</c><00:43:00.780><c> you.</c>

00:43:01.619 --> 00:43:03.699
You're<00:43:01.900><c> going</c><00:43:01.940><c> to</c><00:43:02.039><c> have</c><00:43:02.239><c> communion</c><00:43:02.639><c> with</c><00:43:02.860><c> me</c><00:43:03.199><c> that</c><00:43:03.360><c> we</c><00:43:03.579><c> may</c>

00:43:03.699 --> 00:43:07.619
become<00:43:04.019><c> one</c><00:43:04.420><c> together</c><00:43:04.960><c> and</c><00:43:05.300><c> one</c><00:43:05.539><c> with</c><00:43:05.840><c> our</c><00:43:06.280><c> Heavenly</c><00:43:06.599><c> Father.</c>

00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:09.739
That's<00:43:08.000><c> what</c><00:43:08.159><c> the</c><00:43:08.380><c> wine's</c><00:43:08.659><c> about.</c>

00:43:10.380 --> 00:43:13.079
Melchizedek<00:43:10.820><c> brought</c><00:43:11.139><c> forth</c><00:43:11.599><c> bread</c><00:43:11.800><c> and</c><00:43:11.980><c> wine</c><00:43:12.099><c> for</c><00:43:12.260><c> the</c><00:43:12.440><c> same</c><00:43:12.659><c> reason.</c>

00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:15.840
And<00:43:13.760><c> Babylon</c><00:43:14.400><c> has</c><00:43:14.900><c> never,</c><00:43:15.179><c> ever</c><00:43:15.460><c> changed.</c>

00:43:16.019 --> 00:43:17.679
So<00:43:16.079><c> what</c><00:43:16.199><c> happens</c><00:43:16.460><c> when</c><00:43:16.579><c> you</c><00:43:16.679><c> get</c><00:43:16.860><c> to</c><00:43:17.320><c> Revelation?</c>

00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:19.260
What<00:43:17.860><c> does</c><00:43:18.000><c> Babylon</c><00:43:18.380><c> do?</c>

00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:20.800
And<00:43:19.840><c> what</c><00:43:19.960><c> does</c><00:43:20.119><c> God</c><00:43:20.340><c> say?</c>

00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.019
I've<00:43:21.260><c> got</c><00:43:21.360><c> a</c><00:43:21.500><c> problem</c><00:43:21.820><c> with</c><00:43:22.039><c> you</c><00:43:22.159><c> for</c><00:43:22.320><c> doing.</c>

00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:25.780
Because<00:43:23.460><c> you</c><00:43:23.780><c> forced</c><00:43:24.179><c> all</c><00:43:24.679><c> nations.</c>

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:26.739
You<00:43:26.119><c> mandated.</c>

00:43:26.940 --> 00:43:27.840
Didn't<00:43:27.119><c> suggest</c><00:43:27.519><c> it.</c>

00:43:27.980 --> 00:43:28.739
Didn't<00:43:28.239><c> offer</c><00:43:28.500><c> it.</c>

00:43:28.900 --> 00:43:30.760
You<00:43:29.099><c> said,</c><00:43:29.579><c> it's</c><00:43:29.760><c> a</c><00:43:29.960><c> rule.</c>

00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:33.500
You've<00:43:31.619><c> got</c><00:43:31.760><c> a</c><00:43:32.019><c> drink</c><00:43:32.179><c> from</c><00:43:32.420><c> our</c><00:43:32.699><c> cup.</c>

00:43:33.579 --> 00:43:35.920
You<00:43:33.739><c> made</c><00:43:33.980><c> all</c><00:43:34.420><c> nations</c><00:43:34.739><c> drink.</c>

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.059
Persecution.

00:43:39.179 --> 00:43:40.480
Wrong<00:43:39.460><c> doctrine.</c>

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:41.940
Immorality.

00:43:42.219 --> 00:43:44.000
Everything<00:43:42.739><c> that's</c><00:43:43.139><c> a</c><00:43:43.239><c> contrast</c><00:43:43.639><c> to</c><00:43:43.800><c> Christ.</c>

00:43:44.059 --> 00:43:47.119
Of<00:43:44.199><c> course,</c><00:43:44.360><c> we</c><00:43:44.480><c> know</c><00:43:44.699><c> it's</c><00:43:45.119><c> Rome</c><00:43:45.699><c> in</c><00:43:46.360><c> the</c><00:43:46.460><c> New</c><00:43:46.659><c> Testament.</c>

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.579
But<00:43:47.659><c> don't</c><00:43:47.880><c> just</c><00:43:48.019><c> think</c><00:43:48.119><c> it's</c><00:43:48.420><c> confined</c><00:43:48.739><c> to</c><00:43:49.019><c> the</c><00:43:49.260><c> Catholic</c>

00:43:49.579 --> 00:43:52.579
Church<00:43:49.900><c> and</c><00:43:50.400><c> the</c><00:43:50.900><c> European</c><00:43:51.260><c> civilization.</c>

00:43:54.219 --> 00:43:55.260
They're<00:43:54.739><c> analogous.</c>

00:43:55.699 --> 00:43:58.880
They're<00:43:55.920><c> metaphorical</c><00:43:56.599><c> for</c><00:43:57.059><c> sin,</c><00:43:57.360><c> as</c><00:43:57.480><c> we</c><00:43:57.739><c> said</c><00:43:57.900><c> already.</c>

00:43:58.940 --> 00:44:01.599
You<00:43:59.099><c> look</c><00:43:59.340><c> at</c><00:43:59.739><c> that</c><00:44:00.000><c> system,</c><00:44:00.380><c> you</c><00:44:00.400><c> go,</c><00:44:00.699><c> oh,</c><00:44:00.860><c> that's</c><00:44:01.179><c> what</c><00:44:01.360><c> sin</c>

00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:02.179
looks<00:44:01.920><c> like.</c>

00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:02.900
It's<00:44:02.579><c> terrible.</c>

00:44:02.980 --> 00:44:03.719
It's<00:44:03.199><c> against</c><00:44:03.500><c> God.</c>

00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.559
It's<00:44:03.980><c> against</c><00:44:04.280><c> his</c><00:44:04.539><c> people.</c>

00:44:06.219 --> 00:44:08.380
And<00:44:06.480><c> I</c><00:44:06.619><c> don't</c><00:44:06.719><c> want</c><00:44:06.800><c> to</c><00:44:06.920><c> have</c><00:44:07.039><c> part</c><00:44:07.320><c> of</c><00:44:07.519><c> that.</c>

00:44:08.500 --> 00:44:10.539
I<00:44:08.699><c> want</c><00:44:08.820><c> to</c><00:44:09.019><c> keep</c><00:44:09.159><c> away</c><00:44:09.420><c> from</c><00:44:09.599><c> that.</c>

00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:15.039
And<00:44:11.159><c> of</c><00:44:11.400><c> course,</c><00:44:12.380><c> drinking</c><00:44:12.760><c> Babylon's</c><00:44:13.440><c> wine</c><00:44:13.800><c> can</c><00:44:14.420><c> affect</c><00:44:14.739><c> us</c>

00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.019

00:44:17.099 --> 00:44:18.579
Sin<00:44:17.139><c> challenges</c><00:44:17.579><c> us</c><00:44:17.860><c> every</c><00:44:18.079><c> single</c><00:44:18.400><c> day.</c>

00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:19.219
Drink<00:44:18.739><c> its</c><00:44:18.900><c> wine.</c>

00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:20.460
Do<00:44:19.559><c> this.</c>

00:44:20.500 --> 00:44:23.400
Every<00:44:20.739><c> time</c><00:44:20.880><c> you</c><00:44:20.980><c> do</c><00:44:21.179><c> something</c><00:44:21.420><c> that</c><00:44:21.579><c> you</c><00:44:21.699><c> know</c><00:44:21.840><c> is</c><00:44:21.960><c> to</c><00:44:22.059><c> be</c><00:44:22.219><c> wrong,</c><00:44:22.480><c> you're</c><00:44:22.559><c> drinking</c><00:44:22.760><c> the</c><00:44:22.920><c> wine</c><00:44:23.039><c> of</c><00:44:23.219><c> Babylon.</c>

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:24.059
Simple<00:44:23.760><c> as</c><00:44:23.980><c> that.</c>

00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:27.420
It's<00:44:24.239><c> not</c><00:44:24.400><c> even</c><00:44:24.619><c> a</c><00:44:24.679><c> difficult</c><00:44:25.679><c> symbol</c><00:44:26.579><c> to</c><00:44:26.840><c> work</c><00:44:27.079><c> out.</c>

00:44:27.780 --> 00:44:29.360
Don't<00:44:28.039><c> think</c><00:44:28.199><c> it</c><00:44:28.320><c> is,</c><00:44:28.539><c> brothers</c><00:44:28.780><c> and</c><00:44:29.000><c> sisters.</c>

00:44:29.860 --> 00:44:31.780
It's<00:44:30.179><c> relevant</c><00:44:30.440><c> to</c><00:44:30.639><c> us</c><00:44:30.840><c> now.</c>

Every<00:44:32.880><c> time</c><00:44:33.300><c> I</c><00:44:33.639><c> get</c><00:44:33.940><c> angry</c><00:44:34.199><c> with</c><00:44:34.360><c> my</c><00:44:34.579><c> wife</c><00:44:34.820><c> and</c><00:44:34.980><c> I</c><00:44:35.260><c> act</c><00:44:35.519><c> unjustly</c><00:44:36.039><c> towards</c>

Even<00:44:38.480><c> if</c><00:44:39.260><c> I'm</c><00:44:39.360><c> justified,</c><00:44:40.599><c> I</c><00:44:40.760><c> can't</c><00:44:40.960><c> act</c><00:44:41.119><c> like</c><00:44:41.320><c> that.</c>

00:44:43.019 --> 00:44:43.699
Not<00:44:43.199><c> that</c><00:44:43.380><c> I</c><00:44:43.420><c> ever</c><00:44:43.519><c> would.</c>
