6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:52,200
Hello and welcome back this
week.

10
00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:54,900
We’re listening to an excitation
that was given at the start of

11
00:00:54,900 –> 00:00:58,600
2021, by brother James, Taylor
of the brighten occlusion in

12
00:00:58,600 –> 00:01:02,000
Australia.
The subject of his extrication

13
00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:06,100
is you shall stand in your lot
at the end days and specifically

14
00:01:06,100 –> 00:01:09,900
he’s looking at Daniel chapter
12 verse 13 and is excitation

15
00:01:09,900 –> 00:01:14,000
brother James is looking at the
overall concept of the word

16
00:01:14,000 –> 00:01:19,000
stand in the Book of Daniel
specifically, he’s looking at

17
00:01:19,000 –> 00:01:22,800
the different times that stand
is used throughout the story and

18
00:01:22,800 –> 00:01:25,900
the message in the assurance
that Daniel is given at the end

19
00:01:25,900 –> 00:01:27,500
of his life and Daniel chapter
12.

20
00:01:27,600 –> 00:01:29,500
So over the course of his
excitation brother James is

21
00:01:29,500 –> 00:01:32,900
looking at All the major events
and Daniels life and the impact

22
00:01:32,900 –> 00:01:36,800
that that had and then pulls
from those lessons for us that

23
00:01:36,800 –> 00:01:40,300
we can use in some of the
distraction and trying times

24
00:01:40,300 –> 00:01:43,500
that we face in these last days.
So this expectation was sent

25
00:01:43,500 –> 00:01:46,500
over as a suggestion.
It was originally posted on the

26
00:01:46,500 –> 00:01:48,900
brightening closures YouTube
channel and I found it to be a

27
00:01:48,900 –> 00:01:53,600
really powerful reminder that it
can be really easy to see God

28
00:01:53,600 –> 00:01:55,700
working in our lives.
And then, if you don’t pay

29
00:01:55,700 –> 00:01:58,900
attention, not notice those
things happening and forget

30
00:01:58,900 –> 00:02:01,900
what’s happened.
And so it’s a good reminder to

31
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:06,400
always be, trying to make sure
that we’re standing with God,

32
00:02:06,900 –> 00:02:09,500
and not letting ourselves.
We pulled into the distractions

33
00:02:09,500 –> 00:02:12,600
of the world around us.
So, with that, I will turn it

34
00:02:12,600 –> 00:02:16,600
over to our brother James Taylor
for his excitation on Daniel

35
00:02:16,600 –> 00:02:19,900
chapter 12, verse 13, and titled
you shall stand in your lot at

36
00:02:19,900 –> 00:02:22,200
the end days.
Thank you for listening and have

37
00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:24,700
a great week.
Well I think so Tyson this

38
00:02:24,700 –> 00:02:29,100
morning we’re taking the theme
from as brother Phil said Daniel

39
00:02:29,100 –> 00:02:36,500
12 13, but go your way to the
end and you shall rest and stand

40
00:02:36,500 –> 00:02:43,000
in your lot at the end of days.
This is a promise made by God to

41
00:02:43,000 –> 00:02:47,700
Daniel.
Daniel and old man who has lived

42
00:02:47,700 –> 00:02:52,900
through the fall, and rise of
Empires who was judged Kings,

43
00:02:52,900 –> 00:02:58,100
and comforted, his people who
has prayed for them and sought

44
00:02:58,600 –> 00:03:03,000
their aid and their assistants
And was burdened down by the

45
00:03:03,000 –> 00:03:05,200
weight of Prophecy yet to be
fulfilled.

46
00:03:05,900 –> 00:03:10,100
The sins that his people are yet
to commit thy God reaches out to

47
00:03:10,100 –> 00:03:13,200
him and says don’t worry,
Daniel.

48
00:03:15,100 –> 00:03:18,800
It’s all going to be okay.
In the end, you’re going to

49
00:03:18,800 –> 00:03:22,800
stand in your locker at the end
of days.

50
00:03:23,600 –> 00:03:27,000
And this is a response to Daniel
asking again and again, how long

51
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:28,300
Wednesday I’m going to be what’s
going to happen?

52
00:03:28,300 –> 00:03:30,800
And God says, don’t worry.
Daniel, lots of things are going

53
00:03:30,800 –> 00:03:35,900
to happen, but you’re going to
stand in your lot and it’s this

54
00:03:35,900 –> 00:03:40,400
idea of Daniel standing that is
going to flesh out this story

55
00:03:40,400 –> 00:03:45,100
for us because this, this
promise of God here, Of Daniel

56
00:03:45,100 –> 00:03:48,200
going to that Daniel was going
to stand in his lot in God’s

57
00:03:48,200 –> 00:03:51,900
Kingdom at the end of days, is
in opposition to what

58
00:03:51,900 –> 00:03:54,600
Nebuchadnezzar had gone about
establishing back in chapter

59
00:03:54,600 –> 00:03:59,400
one.
In Daniel chapter 1 and verse 3

60
00:03:59,400 –> 00:04:04,000
to 5, we have the Victorious.
Nebuchadnezzar.

61
00:04:05,200 –> 00:04:09,700
Taking people, captive, taking
gold and silver out of the

62
00:04:09,700 –> 00:04:13,900
treasury of the temple and doing
whatever he wanted to do.

63
00:04:15,300 –> 00:04:19,700
In Daniel chapter 1, verse 3,
then the king commanded ashvin

64
00:04:19,700 –> 00:04:22,800
as his chief eunuch to bring
some of the people of Israel,

65
00:04:23,300 –> 00:04:26,900
both of the royal family and of
the nobility youths, without

66
00:04:26,900 –> 00:04:30,700
blemish of good appearance.
Skillful in all wisdom endowed

67
00:04:30,700 –> 00:04:34,000
with knowledge, understanding,
and learning and competent to

68
00:04:34,000 –> 00:04:36,300
stand in.
The king’s Palace.

69
00:04:36,800 –> 00:04:39,800
Nebuchadnezzar was seeking
people who would be able to

70
00:04:39,800 –> 00:04:44,700
stand in his Empire, who would
stand of use for him.

71
00:04:44,900 –> 00:04:47,300
Him within his Palace within his
Empire.

72
00:04:49,200 –> 00:04:52,600
And competent to stand in the
king’s Palace to teach them.

73
00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:56,500
The literature and language of
the coldians and the King assign

74
00:04:56,500 –> 00:04:58,500
them, a daily portion of the
food that the king a ton of the

75
00:04:58,500 –> 00:05:01,400
wine that he drank, and they
were to be educated for three

76
00:05:01,400 –> 00:05:03,500
years.
And at the end of that time,

77
00:05:03,500 –> 00:05:06,300
they were to stand before the
king.

78
00:05:06,900 –> 00:05:09,400
And so Nebuchadnezzar had a
goal.

79
00:05:09,400 –> 00:05:13,200
He had an idea and he had a way
of achieving it, he selected

80
00:05:13,200 –> 00:05:16,800
suitable, people, he was going
to educate them for three years.

81
00:05:16,900 –> 00:05:18,800
So that the heat, they would be
useful.

82
00:05:19,300 –> 00:05:22,000
In his service and he says, well
I’m going to educate these

83
00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:25,700
people so they can stand in the
way I want them to stand.

84
00:05:27,700 –> 00:05:30,900
And this idea of standing then
comes up throughout the

85
00:05:31,100 –> 00:05:33,700
throughout the book.
In Chapter 2, we have God

86
00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:37,900
setting up an image that will
stand to be followed by a

87
00:05:37,907 –> 00:05:40,500
kingdom that will stand forever
in chapter 3.

88
00:05:40,500 –> 00:05:44,800
Nebuchadnezzar sets up an image
all of gold and God says no

89
00:05:44,900 –> 00:05:47,900
that’s not right.
Either in chapter 4, there’s a

90
00:05:47,900 –> 00:05:52,500
tree standing, Great and Mighty
but that is cut down.

91
00:05:53,200 –> 00:05:55,300
And then as we move into the
prophecies, we have again.

92
00:05:55,300 –> 00:06:00,200
And again these Kings Standing
up, but their time is limited

93
00:06:00,300 –> 00:06:03,600
and Their Kingdoms fall.
And so in chapter 8, to 12 comes

94
00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:06,400
up about 40 times, this word
forced and it comes up in

95
00:06:06,400 –> 00:06:08,800
different forms in English, but
the word is to stand.

96
00:06:08,800 –> 00:06:11,700
It’s this, this endless
succession of kings that are

97
00:06:11,700 –> 00:06:13,800
going to send this Kings.
Understand his days are ending

98
00:06:14,000 –> 00:06:15,900
another Kings missed and his
days are ended.

99
00:06:16,300 –> 00:06:17,900
And then we get to the end of
the book.

100
00:06:17,900 –> 00:06:24,100
There’s the promise to Daniel
that you will stand in your lat

101
00:06:24,500 –> 00:06:29,200
forever in the Kingdom.
And so we see, so if we follow

102
00:06:29,200 –> 00:06:33,600
this story through in a bit more
detail, will hopefully build to

103
00:06:33,600 –> 00:06:38,400
that grand, Crescendo of that,
promise that God gave to Daniel

104
00:06:38,900 –> 00:06:43,800
at the end.
And we see that in chapter 32,

105
00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:47,200
chapter 4.
Now chapter to chapter four

106
00:06:47,200 –> 00:06:53,400
other As much as Nebuchadnezzar
was seeking to teach and to

107
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:58,500
educate, these Jewish people
about how Babylon would run and

108
00:06:58,500 –> 00:07:02,700
how Babylon would work God’s
taking Nebuchadnezzar and

109
00:07:02,700 –> 00:07:07,500
educating Nebuchadnezzar about
how the world really worked and

110
00:07:07,500 –> 00:07:12,100
so we’re going to see the
education of Nebuchadnezzar as

111
00:07:12,100 –> 00:07:17,200
he was taught about how firm and
how true God’s word is and how

112
00:07:17,200 –> 00:07:20,300
there was nothing he could do.
To go against it.

113
00:07:21,500 –> 00:07:23,800
And in chapter two, stories will
know well.

114
00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:27,500
So I won’t go into the me say,
in too much detail, but the King

115
00:07:27,500 –> 00:07:32,200
has a dream and he wants to know
what the dreams talking about.

116
00:07:32,400 –> 00:07:37,900
And so he goes about
establishing undeniable proof

117
00:07:38,300 –> 00:07:41,200
that the interpretation of the
dream is true.

118
00:07:41,800 –> 00:07:45,400
He says, you have to tell me
what I’ve wrapped and then tell

119
00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:48,200
me what it means.
Here’s proof here, solid, gold

120
00:07:48,200 –> 00:07:53,000
proof.
Kind of fitting that The

121
00:07:53,000 –> 00:07:58,300
interpretation is true and so
God God gives the interpretation

122
00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:02,500
to Daniel and Daniel comes in
and says the king, it’s going to

123
00:08:02,500 –> 00:08:06,000
be a succession of Empires and
then the kingdom of God is going

124
00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:10,200
to stand forever.
So we have in 2:44 in the days

125
00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:13,000
of those kings, the god of
heaven will set up a kingdom

126
00:08:13,000 –> 00:08:16,400
that shall never be destroyed.
Nor shall the kingdom be left to

127
00:08:16,400 –> 00:08:19,500
another people.
It shall break in pieces all

128
00:08:19,500 –> 00:08:23,200
these kingdoms and bring them to
an end.

129
00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:28,000
The times of these Kings is
limited, but on the other hand,

130
00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:33,700
the kingdom of God will stand
forever.

131
00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:40,200
And then down in the end there,
end of verse 45, the dream is

132
00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:43,600
certain and its interpretation
sure.

133
00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:49,200
So Nebuchadnezzar receives this
and he is absolutely gobsmacked,

134
00:08:49,700 –> 00:08:55,300
the can’t believe that not only
had Daniel interpreted given him

135
00:08:55,300 –> 00:08:59,600
his dream and the
interpretation, all the Wonder

136
00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:04,800
of what he dreamt.
And but if we just sort of step

137
00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:10,500
back and The power of that
vision of that dream that

138
00:09:10,500 –> 00:09:16,100
Nebuchadnezzar had of the power
of this Stone coming and

139
00:09:16,100 –> 00:09:20,200
crushing the feet of this image
grinding into Power filling.

140
00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:23,400
The whole earth is obviously a
dream that had a massive effect

141
00:09:23,400 –> 00:09:25,300
on Nebuchadnezzar.
And so when it gets this

142
00:09:25,300 –> 00:09:29,200
interpretation, he is Quite
literally floored.

143
00:09:29,500 –> 00:09:33,500
So he’s having their verse 46
then kicking over to NASA fell

144
00:09:33,500 –> 00:09:36,400
upon his face.
So in a message of the kingdom

145
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:40,300
of God standing forever,
Nebuchadnezzar is falling on his

146
00:09:40,300 –> 00:09:43,500
face.
He’s having the correct response

147
00:09:43,500 –> 00:09:46,500
to this message his giving over
all the power.

148
00:09:46,500 –> 00:09:49,900
He’s going nuts that has to be
right.

149
00:09:50,000 –> 00:09:52,300
Yes.
God is going to set up a kingdom

150
00:09:52,500 –> 00:09:53,800
that is never going to be
destroyed.

151
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:55,000
My kingdom is going to come to
an end.

152
00:09:55,300 –> 00:09:57,300
That’s going to happen.
This works.

153
00:09:57,500 –> 00:10:00,700
Then the King, Nebuchadnezzar
fell upon his face and paid

154
00:10:00,700 –> 00:10:03,900
homage to Daniel and Commander
that and offering incense be

155
00:10:03,900 –> 00:10:05,800
offered to him.
The king answered and said to

156
00:10:05,800 –> 00:10:11,500
Daniel truly your God is God of
God and Lord of kings and a real

157
00:10:11,500 –> 00:10:13,600
of mysteries.
For you have been able to reveal

158
00:10:13,600 –> 00:10:15,400
this mystery.
He said, absolutely.

159
00:10:15,400 –> 00:10:19,100
Daniel, your God knows what’s
going to happen.

160
00:10:19,600 –> 00:10:23,400
All right, I can’t believe he
was able to give me my vision.

161
00:10:23,700 –> 00:10:27,400
This has to be true and he’s
convinced of it.

162
00:10:27,600 –> 00:10:31,100
This time.
But the problem for

163
00:10:31,100 –> 00:10:38,100
Nebuchadnezzar was his pride.
If we can imagine being

164
00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:44,900
Nebuchadnezzar.
He is for all intents and

165
00:10:44,900 –> 00:10:47,800
purposes, the king of the world.
There is no one who can stand

166
00:10:48,000 –> 00:10:52,600
against him.
He can go and do whatever he

167
00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:56,700
wants.
And so we don’t know how long it

168
00:10:56,700 –> 00:10:58,600
is between chapter 2 and chapter
3.

169
00:11:00,900 –> 00:11:05,600
But this message that his
kingdom is going to come to an

170
00:11:05,600 –> 00:11:07,900
end.
His just niggling away at the

171
00:11:07,900 –> 00:11:13,800
back of his brain and over time.
His pride comes up and goes no

172
00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:20,000
no okay it was a good trick it
was a impressive piece of

173
00:11:20,600 –> 00:11:23,600
whatever happened back in
Chapter 2 the yeah I I can

174
00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:28,500
understand that but Do I really
want to accept it?

175
00:11:28,500 –> 00:11:33,500
Do I really want to accept that?
That God’s word is true and we

176
00:11:33,500 –> 00:11:37,300
have to thank you that.
For the kings of Babylon.

177
00:11:38,800 –> 00:11:42,100
So, in the ancient near East and
understand this one bit of

178
00:11:42,108 –> 00:11:45,300
History, I’m sneaking in for the
talk, the ancient near Eastern

179
00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:50,400
understanding of what a God was.
It was on the on the continue

180
00:11:50,400 –> 00:11:53,400
with our all came out of the
same creation, God’s man

181
00:11:53,400 –> 00:11:59,000
animals, everything was created
within the same creation and so

182
00:11:59,000 –> 00:12:05,400
a god-king rather was partway
between normal people and the

183
00:12:05,400 –> 00:12:06,800
really impressive people, the
gods.

184
00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:10,800
So those are Continuum between
the two and so for

185
00:12:10,800 –> 00:12:14,200
Nebuchadnezzar, although as much
as he’s been impressed by the

186
00:12:14,200 –> 00:12:18,600
interpretation of chapter to his
better than these people.

187
00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:21,000
And yeah.
He’s so powerful is probably

188
00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:23,900
close enough close.
He is to some of the Gods and so

189
00:12:23,908 –> 00:12:27,900
he’s pushing his way going.
Yes, there might be a God and he

190
00:12:28,300 –> 00:12:30,600
done that but do I have to bow
down to him?

191
00:12:30,600 –> 00:12:34,900
Do I actually have to agree with
him and so he goes and sets up

192
00:12:35,400 –> 00:12:39,700
an image he goes and sets up an
Image that says, Nah.

193
00:12:41,900 –> 00:12:43,700
I’m rejecting your idea of
what’s going to happen in the

194
00:12:43,700 –> 00:12:47,300
future God by understand you you
interpreted the prophecy

195
00:12:47,600 –> 00:12:52,200
correctly but here we go.
I’m going to write down my own

196
00:12:52,200 –> 00:12:54,800
prophecy.
I’m Nebuchadnezzar.

197
00:12:55,100 –> 00:12:57,900
I’m the head of gold and my
kingdom is going to last

198
00:12:57,900 –> 00:13:00,400
forever.
I’m sorry, God, but you’re

199
00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:04,200
wrong.
And anyone who doesn’t bow down

200
00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:05,300
to this image, what are they
doing?

201
00:13:06,300 –> 00:13:09,200
They’re committing treason.
They’re saying no, we’re not

202
00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:11,700
going to accept your prophecy.
Nebuchadnezzar, we’re accepting

203
00:13:11,700 –> 00:13:14,900
the prophecy of God and your
kingdom will come to an end.

204
00:13:16,300 –> 00:13:22,100
She’s why he’s so Furious when
the friends don’t keep your hand

205
00:13:22,100 –> 00:13:24,800
in Daniel.
If we just come back to Isaiah,

206
00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:30,500
forty seven, And as I 47, we
have in a sense.

207
00:13:33,300 –> 00:13:38,000
God’s Divine commentary on
Daniel chapter 3.

208
00:13:39,400 –> 00:13:41,900
So we can understand this
imagery of what’s happening in

209
00:13:41,900 –> 00:13:44,100
Chapter 3 of the image being set
up in the friends like being

210
00:13:44,100 –> 00:13:48,800
down Nebuchadnezzar wanting to
have his kingdom last forever

211
00:13:49,500 –> 00:13:52,800
and I was I 47, we have God’s
judgment against Babylon.

212
00:13:53,600 –> 00:13:59,500
So we see that in 47 verse one,
come down and sit in the dust

213
00:13:59,500 –> 00:14:01,900
over virgin daughter of Babylon
sits on the ground without a

214
00:14:01,900 –> 00:14:05,300
throne or daughter of cold ends
for you shall no more be called

215
00:14:05,300 –> 00:14:09,100
tender and delicate and this is
going to be the end of the king.

216
00:14:09,300 –> 00:14:14,500
A Babylon.
And what is the cause of this?

217
00:14:15,000 –> 00:14:17,900
Or verse 5, sit in silence go
into darkness, my daughter of

218
00:14:17,900 –> 00:14:21,000
the coldians for you show.
No, me, no more.

219
00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:25,900
Be called the mistress Mistress
of Kingdoms, I was angry with my

220
00:14:25,900 –> 00:14:29,500
people, I profaned my Heritage,
I gave them into your hands.

221
00:14:29,500 –> 00:14:33,800
So God saying, I acted in this
way, if we just hope you’ve got

222
00:14:33,800 –> 00:14:37,700
a hand, still in.
Daniel, we see there, in Daniel

223
00:14:37,700 –> 00:14:42,000
chapter 1, verse 1 in the third
year, year of the reign of

224
00:14:42,000 –> 00:14:46,800
jehoiakim Joachim king of Judah,
Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,

225
00:14:47,100 –> 00:14:50,700
came to Jerusalem and besieged
and this is exactly how

226
00:14:50,700 –> 00:14:53,200
Nebuchadnezzar understood he
came with his army.

227
00:14:53,200 –> 00:14:57,700
He besieged Jerusalem verse 2
and the lord gave jehoiakim,

228
00:14:57,700 –> 00:15:01,300
king of Judah into his hand.
This was God acting.

229
00:15:01,300 –> 00:15:04,200
This has nothing to do with
Nebuchadnezzar and this is the

230
00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:05,700
lesson.
Nebuchadnezzar delete needs to

231
00:15:05,700 –> 00:15:10,800
learn his life.
Is that He is merely a tool in

232
00:15:10,800 –> 00:15:12,300
God’s hand.
It’s God’s word.

233
00:15:12,300 –> 00:15:16,200
God’s acting God’s doing all of
these things and

234
00:15:16,200 –> 00:15:19,600
Nebuchadnezzar’s just happens to
be the one doing it because God

235
00:15:19,600 –> 00:15:23,400
needed someone to do it.
It was nothing to do with

236
00:15:23,400 –> 00:15:27,600
Nebuchadnezzar.
So, back in was I 47?

237
00:15:31,400 –> 00:15:35,500
So God say I gave my people into
your hand.

238
00:15:35,500 –> 00:15:38,600
It was my decision, my action, I
did it, it wasn’t.

239
00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:45,600
You verse 7.
You said I shall be a mistress

240
00:15:46,300 –> 00:15:49,200
forever.
So that you did not lay these

241
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:51,400
things, your heart you did, you
didn’t respond to me, you didn’t

242
00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:54,100
respond to my teaching.
You said, I’m going to be a

243
00:15:54,100 –> 00:15:58,800
mistress for my kingdom is going
to last forever.

244
00:16:00,600 –> 00:16:03,600
So you didn’t lay these things
to heart will remember their

245
00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:08,200
end, remember that your kingdom
will come to an end.

246
00:16:09,100 –> 00:16:14,200
Now hear this, you lovers of
Pleasures who sits securely who

247
00:16:14,200 –> 00:16:20,900
says in your heart.
I am and there is none beside

248
00:16:20,900 –> 00:16:23,200
me.
I shall not sit at we do or know

249
00:16:23,200 –> 00:16:25,600
the loss of children.
These two things show coming to

250
00:16:25,600 –> 00:16:28,900
you in a moment.
In one day, the loss of children

251
00:16:28,900 –> 00:16:31,200
widowhood.
Come upon you in full measure,

252
00:16:31,800 –> 00:16:35,400
in spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your

253
00:16:35,400 –> 00:16:37,000
enchantments.
And how many times in the story

254
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:39,500
of Daniel is that the wise men
in the cold and all these wise

255
00:16:39,500 –> 00:16:42,300
men of Babylon going?
Don’t worry King we can sort

256
00:16:42,300 –> 00:16:45,100
these things out for you and we
see them failing time and time

257
00:16:45,100 –> 00:16:48,500
again, but but the king of
Babylon is still secure is still

258
00:16:48,800 –> 00:16:51,500
firm in what he thinks is going
to happen.

259
00:16:51,700 –> 00:16:54,600
From his sorceries from his
enchantments from all those

260
00:16:54,600 –> 00:16:59,300
people verse 10, you felt secure
in your wickedness, you said.

261
00:16:59,500 –> 00:17:02,200
No one sees me, your wisdom, and
your knowledge.

262
00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:07,300
LED you astray and you said in
your heart I am and there is

263
00:17:07,599 –> 00:17:12,700
none beside me.
But evil shall come upon you,

264
00:17:13,599 –> 00:17:17,000
which you will not know how to
charm away disaster shall fall

265
00:17:17,000 –> 00:17:20,900
upon you for which you shall not
be able to atone and ruin shall

266
00:17:20,900 –> 00:17:26,400
come upon you suddenly of which,
you know, nothing and so

267
00:17:26,400 –> 00:17:28,900
Nebuchadnezzar here is of the
kingdom of Babylon is given a

268
00:17:28,908 –> 00:17:32,500
message that as much as you want
as much as you want to think,

269
00:17:32,500 –> 00:17:34,800
you’re going to live forever as
much as we want, to think your

270
00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:36,200
kingdom is going to stand
forever.

271
00:17:36,500 –> 00:17:40,000
It’s going to come to an end and
we see here that that

272
00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:44,700
Nebuchadnezzar is Is climbing
for himself in the, in the words

273
00:17:44,700 –> 00:17:48,800
of Isaiah is claiming for
himself, a quality or in actual

274
00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:51,100
fact Place himself over and
above God.

275
00:17:51,100 –> 00:17:55,000
Because you have it twice there.
That he says, I am and there is

276
00:17:55,008 –> 00:17:58,100
none beside me.
And this is the exact phrase

277
00:17:58,100 –> 00:18:01,800
that God uses through the
preceding chapters of Isaiah.

278
00:18:01,800 –> 00:18:04,400
When God saying here’s how you
can prove.

279
00:18:04,700 –> 00:18:07,300
I am a God who can, who can do
what I want?

280
00:18:07,600 –> 00:18:10,400
If we come back, previous
chapter, Isaiah 46.

281
00:18:11,100 –> 00:18:16,700
Verse 8.
Remember this and stand firm

282
00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:20,400
recall, it to mind you
transgressors, remember the

283
00:18:20,400 –> 00:18:25,900
former things of old for?
I am God and there is no other.

284
00:18:26,300 –> 00:18:33,800
I am God and there is none like
me and on what basis is God.

285
00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:37,100
God and on what basis is there?
No one else like him.

286
00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:41,200
I declare the end from the
beginning and from ancient

287
00:18:41,200 –> 00:18:43,400
times.
Things not yet, not yet done

288
00:18:43,400 –> 00:18:46,500
saying.
My counsel, the word I have

289
00:18:46,500 –> 00:18:49,500
spoken.
The things I have said, shall

290
00:18:50,900 –> 00:18:56,000
Stand and I will accomplish all
of my purpose.

291
00:18:56,500 –> 00:19:01,800
So we have here out in the plain
of dura, a Battle of God and the

292
00:19:01,808 –> 00:19:06,100
kingdom of Babylon of God
saying, this is my plan, this is

293
00:19:06,100 –> 00:19:09,500
what I’m going to accomplish and
navigating as a saying, no, I

294
00:19:09,500 –> 00:19:13,400
don’t accept it.
I’m going to be a king forever.

295
00:19:13,400 –> 00:19:17,300
My kingdom is going to last its
head of gold and all the way

296
00:19:17,300 –> 00:19:18,700
down to the toes.
It’s all gold.

297
00:19:18,700 –> 00:19:21,900
And from here on, I’m the And
I’m going to do what I want.

298
00:19:23,500 –> 00:19:25,900
But we see that coming back to
Daniel.

299
00:19:27,100 –> 00:19:31,700
That he’s not even able to
control the people.

300
00:19:34,400 –> 00:19:38,800
That this music plays.
This was wonderfully depicted

301
00:19:38,800 –> 00:19:41,500
for us in the junior play
yesterday that the music plays

302
00:19:41,500 –> 00:19:45,000
all the people bow down.
And there’s these three people

303
00:19:45,000 –> 00:19:48,700
who are not doing it.
They’re being treasonous,

304
00:19:49,100 –> 00:19:52,200
they’re siding with Daniel.
And when these three friends are

305
00:19:52,200 –> 00:19:58,100
dragged in before the king,
Nathan is would have gone.

306
00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:03,000
You three you were there when
the prophet of these whole

307
00:20:03,000 –> 00:20:04,800
prophecy that I’m fighting
against that, I want to

308
00:20:04,800 –> 00:20:06,100
overthrow that I want to
overturn.

309
00:20:06,300 –> 00:20:08,800
Its you three who told me that
prophecy?

310
00:20:10,100 –> 00:20:13,300
It’s been pushing his face to
think about what you’re doing,

311
00:20:13,300 –> 00:20:14,900
Nebuchadnezzar?
Think about what you’re saying?

312
00:20:15,100 –> 00:20:17,700
Think about how amazed you were
when you heard this prophecy.

313
00:20:17,700 –> 00:20:22,100
First of all, You guys know how
can’t I can’t accept?

314
00:20:22,100 –> 00:20:24,000
You have to bow down, you have
to about.

315
00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:28,200
You cannot stick with the
interpretation, given by Daniel,

316
00:20:28,200 –> 00:20:31,200
you have to come to my
understand that my kingdom is

317
00:20:31,200 –> 00:20:33,100
going to.
Last time, I can’t give this up.

318
00:20:33,100 –> 00:20:39,400
I can’t bow down to God, I can’t
accept God’s ways.

319
00:20:39,900 –> 00:20:45,500
And we have there in in at 3:15.
Now, if you are ready, when you

320
00:20:45,508 –> 00:20:48,700
hear the sound of the horn, the
pipe, the liar tygon heart

321
00:20:48,700 –> 00:20:51,100
bagpipe.
And every kind of Music to fall

322
00:20:51,100 –> 00:20:53,800
down and worship the image that
I have made well and good.

323
00:20:54,200 –> 00:20:58,300
But if you do not worship, you
shall immediately be cast into a

324
00:20:58,300 –> 00:21:03,400
burning fiery furnace.
And who is the god, who will

325
00:21:03,400 –> 00:21:08,300
deliver you out of my hands?
He says them look, even if

326
00:21:08,300 –> 00:21:11,700
you’re God’s got a different
plan for the future, you right

327
00:21:11,700 –> 00:21:15,200
here, right now you’re in my
hands, and I’m going to put you

328
00:21:15,208 –> 00:21:19,000
in that find, there is nothing
you can do about it and for all

329
00:21:19,300 –> 00:21:19,900
evidence.
Yes.

330
00:21:20,100 –> 00:21:22,700
You gon put something in a
burning fiery, furnace.

331
00:21:24,100 –> 00:21:25,400
It’s curtains.
That’s the end of it.

332
00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:29,400
For the, there’s nothing anyone
could run, he says, but he

333
00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:34,200
elevates it to the level of what
God is your, got your God can

334
00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:37,600
read my mind and interpreter
vision and give give a story of

335
00:21:37,600 –> 00:21:39,400
how your God thinks the future
is going to be.

336
00:21:39,700 –> 00:21:43,700
But you right here right now for
your God help, you can your God

337
00:21:43,700 –> 00:21:47,100
save you today.
Can he go against the burning

338
00:21:47,100 –> 00:21:50,700
fiery furnace?
And so he’s filled with rage

339
00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:55,200
absolutely Furious when they say
no we’re not going to bow down

340
00:21:55,800 –> 00:21:57,300
the doniak.
We don’t even have to be careful

341
00:21:57,300 –> 00:22:00,000
to us.
We know we’re not going to do

342
00:22:00,000 –> 00:22:02,800
what you want Nebuchadnezzar and
he throws them in and just

343
00:22:02,800 –> 00:22:04,300
approved Nebuchadnezzar, how hot
it is.

344
00:22:04,800 –> 00:22:09,000
All of the guards died.
Yet fight undeniable proof.

345
00:22:09,300 –> 00:22:12,800
It was a hot fire and we have
them cast in.

346
00:22:13,500 –> 00:22:16,000
You know that then there’s an
angel sent from God who is in

347
00:22:16,000 –> 00:22:18,000
there with them.
The only thing that’s burnt off

348
00:22:18,300 –> 00:22:23,700
is the the ropes that were
binding them in their walk.

349
00:22:23,900 –> 00:22:25,700
Rounding.
The fight is having no effect

350
00:22:25,700 –> 00:22:31,000
on, nah.
Nebuchadnezzar is completely

351
00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:35,400
powerless in this situation.
There is nothing he can do to go

352
00:22:35,400 –> 00:22:39,000
against God’s word.
God’s, he says, who’s the God?

353
00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:41,700
God says, I am and you can’t
even make firework.

354
00:22:42,900 –> 00:22:45,800
Yes, yes, you’ve melted down all
this gold to make the image.

355
00:22:45,900 –> 00:22:47,700
You got furnace there for the
job.

356
00:22:47,800 –> 00:22:49,600
You’ve done all of this work,
you’ve built all of these

357
00:22:49,600 –> 00:22:54,400
things.
My people my word, the way I’m

358
00:22:54,400 –> 00:22:58,400
going to do things, you can’t do
anything to change it.

359
00:22:58,400 –> 00:23:01,100
You can’t even get the smell of
smoke into their clothes.

360
00:23:01,900 –> 00:23:04,800
There is nothing you can do
Nebuchadnezzar.

361
00:23:05,400 –> 00:23:15,700
And so he fails completely And
he once again, responds

362
00:23:15,700 –> 00:23:19,500
correctly.
He does come calm down and go

363
00:23:19,500 –> 00:23:21,100
right.
No, your God.

364
00:23:22,700 –> 00:23:25,100
Really is a God.
He really does have power.

365
00:23:25,100 –> 00:23:28,700
He really can do what he says
he’s going to do.

366
00:23:29,500 –> 00:23:33,900
And in chapter 4 we have the
story comes up all over again,

367
00:23:34,600 –> 00:23:37,100
Nebuchadnezzar’s given another
dream.

368
00:23:37,600 –> 00:23:43,100
It’s a dream of a great big tree
Birds living in.

369
00:23:43,100 –> 00:23:50,400
It’s absolutely glorious tree.
The cry goes out and it’s cut

370
00:23:50,400 –> 00:23:54,600
down.
We have there in 4 verse 17.

371
00:23:55,000 –> 00:23:58,400
The sentence is by the decree of
the watches, the decision by the

372
00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:05,200
word of the Holy ones to the end
that the living may know that

373
00:24:05,200 –> 00:24:08,400
the most high rules in the
Kingdom of men and gives it to

374
00:24:08,400 –> 00:24:11,300
her.
He will that the living may know

375
00:24:11,600 –> 00:24:15,200
that Nebuchadnezzar you might
come to be educated that.

376
00:24:15,200 –> 00:24:17,800
It’s not you, it’s God, it’s
God.

377
00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:21,000
Who rules in the Kingdom of men
and it’s God’s word that is

378
00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:24,100
going to be firm.
And he’s going Going to last.

379
00:24:26,000 –> 00:24:30,000
And so we see that Daniel, then
comes and interprets the vision

380
00:24:30,600 –> 00:24:32,300
for the dream.
That’s repeated again in the end

381
00:24:32,300 –> 00:24:36,000
of verse 25, till you know that
the most high rules in the

382
00:24:36,000 –> 00:24:41,300
Kingdom of men, and gives it to
whom he will, God, can give the

383
00:24:41,300 –> 00:24:44,300
kingdom of man, to whoever he
wants.

384
00:24:44,800 –> 00:24:49,700
And that includes us.
God is able to give us the

385
00:24:49,700 –> 00:24:52,800
kingdoms of men, his promise,
that his kingdom is coming.

386
00:24:52,800 –> 00:24:56,800
He’s going to give it to us.
They can give it to

387
00:24:56,808 –> 00:24:58,600
Nebuchadnezzar for a period.
You can give it to the Persians

388
00:24:58,600 –> 00:25:00,900
for a period.
The Romans can come and go and

389
00:25:00,908 –> 00:25:02,600
you can give them control for a
while.

390
00:25:03,000 –> 00:25:08,000
But for us, he can give it to us
forever and Nebuchadnezzar that

391
00:25:08,000 –> 00:25:09,900
to learn that.
That, that was nothing to do

392
00:25:09,900 –> 00:25:13,200
with him.
And so, Daniel says, you need to

393
00:25:13,200 –> 00:25:16,400
learn this verse 28.
And as it was commanded to leave

394
00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:18,100
the stump of the roots of the
tree.

395
00:25:18,300 –> 00:25:21,700
Your kingdom shall be confirmed
for you from that time that, you

396
00:25:21,700 –> 00:25:24,900
know, that having rules.
So, you’re going to be educated

397
00:25:24,900 –> 00:25:27,400
Nebuchadnezzar, The trees going
to be cut down, you’re going to

398
00:25:27,800 –> 00:25:29,600
leave the palace and be out in
the fields.

399
00:25:31,300 –> 00:25:35,700
Until you learn your lesson
until you learn that the most

400
00:25:35,700 –> 00:25:40,100
high rules, in the Kingdom of
men, until you learn, that his

401
00:25:40,100 –> 00:25:41,900
ways.
And his word is what’s going to

402
00:25:42,400 –> 00:25:47,800
go verse 27, there for a king,
let my counsel that my advice be

403
00:25:47,800 –> 00:25:50,700
acceptable to you break off your
sins.

404
00:25:50,700 –> 00:25:54,200
By practicing righteousness and
your iniquities by showing Mercy

405
00:25:54,200 –> 00:25:58,300
to the oppressed that there may
perhaps be a lengthening of your

406
00:25:58,300 –> 00:26:00,900
prosperity and that as much as
that’s good.

407
00:26:01,100 –> 00:26:04,900
Advice for Nebuchadnezzar.
It’s good advice for us of how

408
00:26:04,900 –> 00:26:11,500
we should live before, God.
But 12 months ago by

409
00:26:12,200 –> 00:26:14,700
Nebuchadnezzar’s pride.
Is once again growing in the

410
00:26:14,700 –> 00:26:18,900
background, he knows his kingdom
is going to come to an end one

411
00:26:18,900 –> 00:26:20,900
day.
He knows there’s a God in heaven

412
00:26:20,900 –> 00:26:23,500
who rules and gives the power to
whoever he wants.

413
00:26:24,500 –> 00:26:30,000
But there’s still a bit of that
human pride in Nebuchadnezzar.

414
00:26:31,100 –> 00:26:34,700
And we see their verse 29, at
the end of 12 months, he was

415
00:26:34,700 –> 00:26:37,900
walking on the roof of the Royal
Palace of Babylon and the King

416
00:26:37,900 –> 00:26:43,700
answered and said is not this
great Babylon, which I have

417
00:26:43,700 –> 00:26:47,300
built by my mighty power as a
royal residence for the glory of

418
00:26:47,300 –> 00:26:49,900
my Majesty.
He says, look at what I’ve

419
00:26:49,900 –> 00:26:50,700
built.
Okay.

420
00:26:50,700 –> 00:26:52,300
My kingdom might not last.
Okay.

421
00:26:52,300 –> 00:26:55,100
My kingdom might not last
forever and God is going to be

422
00:26:55,100 –> 00:26:58,300
set up.
But right here, right now, I’m

423
00:26:58,300 –> 00:27:00,700
the king and look at what I’ve
achieved.

424
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:05,000
For myself.
While the words were still in

425
00:27:05,000 –> 00:27:08,300
the Kings mouth, their fellow
voice from Heaven O, King

426
00:27:08,300 –> 00:27:10,700
Nebuchadnezzar, it is to you.
It is spoken.

427
00:27:11,000 –> 00:27:15,500
The kingdom is departed from you
and you shall be driven from

428
00:27:15,500 –> 00:27:18,200
among men and your dwelling
shall be with the beasts of the

429
00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:20,800
field and you should make.
You shall be made to eat grass

430
00:27:20,800 –> 00:27:25,200
like an ox and seven periods of
time shall pass over you, until

431
00:27:25,200 –> 00:27:29,500
you know, that the most high
rules in the Kingdom of men and

432
00:27:29,500 –> 00:27:36,700
gives it to whoever he wants.
So, That it’s while the

433
00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:39,100
Nebuchadnezzar’s words are still
in his mouth.

434
00:27:39,400 –> 00:27:42,600
The words come from God, that
says, no, this is what’s

435
00:27:42,600 –> 00:27:48,900
happening and immediately verse
33 immediately, the word was

436
00:27:48,900 –> 00:27:50,400
fulfilled against now, beginners
is no time.

437
00:27:50,400 –> 00:27:52,200
This is not saying it’s going to
happen in the future.

438
00:27:52,200 –> 00:27:54,400
This is not once you’re dead.
Your kingdom is going to fall

439
00:27:54,400 –> 00:27:57,100
apart.
This is immediately.

440
00:27:57,800 –> 00:27:58,900
You think you can be on the
throne.

441
00:27:58,900 –> 00:27:59,900
You think you can build all
these things.

442
00:27:59,900 –> 00:28:03,600
You think you can do this by
your power for your my, for your

443
00:28:03,700 –> 00:28:07,400
We for your majesty while the
words are still in your mouth

444
00:28:07,400 –> 00:28:11,500
immediately, the words of
feeling you’re driven out at

445
00:28:11,500 –> 00:28:15,300
God’s word in a single Incident,
That’s the end of

446
00:28:15,300 –> 00:28:18,700
Nebuchadnezzar’s Rolfe until he
comes tonight.

447
00:28:19,300 –> 00:28:23,200
Until he comes to understand
that the rulership of this world

448
00:28:23,700 –> 00:28:27,700
and all of the promises of God
and everything is held there.

449
00:28:28,600 –> 00:28:32,300
By God’s word by God’s promise
that this is these are these

450
00:28:32,300 –> 00:28:33,600
nations.
They’re going to last for this

451
00:28:33,600 –> 00:28:36,800
long and this is the way it’s
going to end up.

452
00:28:36,800 –> 00:28:39,600
My kingdom is going to feel the
world forever and so

453
00:28:39,608 –> 00:28:42,700
Nebuchadnezzar.
Learn this in was given the

454
00:28:42,700 –> 00:28:50,000
Judgment of this in an instant.
Verse 34, we have the final

455
00:28:50,200 –> 00:28:54,000
confession of Nebuchadnezzar at
the end of days.

456
00:28:54,000 –> 00:28:57,500
I Nebuchadnezzar lifted, my eyes
to heaven and my reason returned

457
00:28:57,500 –> 00:29:00,800
to me and I blessed the most
high in praise and wanted him.

458
00:29:00,800 –> 00:29:04,100
Who lives forever for his
Dominion is an everlasting

459
00:29:04,100 –> 00:29:07,800
dominion and his kingdom endures
from generation to Generation

460
00:29:08,300 –> 00:29:12,100
all the inhabitants of Earth are
accounted as nothing and he does

461
00:29:12,300 –> 00:29:15,800
according to his will among the
hosts of Heaven.

462
00:29:17,200 –> 00:29:21,700
And among the inhabitants of the
earth, none can stay his hand or

463
00:29:21,700 –> 00:29:24,100
say to him.
What have you done?

464
00:29:24,600 –> 00:29:28,500
This is the Great Mighty proud
King Nebuchadnezzar, who would

465
00:29:28,500 –> 00:29:31,900
overthrow in Jerusalem?
Who taken captives, who said

466
00:29:31,900 –> 00:29:33,100
this is how it’s all going to
be.

467
00:29:33,100 –> 00:29:37,100
He gets to this point where God
has humbled and educated him or

468
00:29:37,100 –> 00:29:41,900
he says there is we can’t even
say to God what have you done.

469
00:29:42,200 –> 00:29:44,500
Why have you done this way?
This is mighty king

470
00:29:44,500 –> 00:29:46,500
Nebuchadnezzar what can there
is?

471
00:29:46,900 –> 00:29:51,000
Nothing you can do against the
word of God.

472
00:29:52,400 –> 00:29:56,600
So Nebuchadnezzar’s time hands.
And we come to the end of the

473
00:29:56,608 –> 00:30:02,100
kingdom of Babylon.
Now that in chapter 5 that the

474
00:30:02,100 –> 00:30:06,200
time is up.
And once again, we have a king

475
00:30:06,200 –> 00:30:08,900
in Babylon who is setting
himself.

476
00:30:10,900 –> 00:30:16,000
On purpose against God.
The actions of belshazzar in

477
00:30:16,000 –> 00:30:19,800
chapter 5 and not done.
He need grunts, we have that in

478
00:30:19,808 –> 00:30:25,200
verse 22 and you his son,
belshazzar have not humbled your

479
00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:27,700
heart.
Vo.

480
00:30:28,100 –> 00:30:33,900
You knew all of this Dosh as it
is intentionally going against

481
00:30:33,900 –> 00:30:37,200
God, he’s in Babylon.
The Persian army are at the

482
00:30:37,200 –> 00:30:39,500
gate.
He knows a prophecy has been

483
00:30:39,500 –> 00:30:43,000
given that says babylon’s going
to come to an end.

484
00:30:43,000 –> 00:30:44,800
Another kingdom is going to take
over.

485
00:30:44,900 –> 00:30:47,400
He knows all of this.
And what’s his response?

486
00:30:48,000 –> 00:30:53,500
He goes and takes the vessels of
the temple from Jerusalem and he

487
00:30:53,500 –> 00:30:56,800
goes and fills them with
Babylonian wine.

488
00:30:56,900 –> 00:31:02,000
And when we think of the imagery
of us as vessels of our asses as

489
00:31:02,000 –> 00:31:05,400
vessels that can be filled with
with godliness and could be

490
00:31:05,400 –> 00:31:08,200
useful in God’s purposes, useful
in the house of God,

491
00:31:10,300 –> 00:31:15,300
Nebuchadnezzar had taken
vessels, both gold and of man.

492
00:31:17,800 –> 00:31:20,800
And had been educated that there
was nothing he could do to fill

493
00:31:20,800 –> 00:31:22,200
them.
There’s nothing the king of

494
00:31:22,600 –> 00:31:25,200
Babylon.
Could do to fill Daniel and his

495
00:31:25,200 –> 00:31:27,700
friends with the learning and
education of Babylon of

496
00:31:27,700 –> 00:31:29,600
teaching, Babel his eyes that
have gone the other way.

497
00:31:30,800 –> 00:31:34,100
But here belshazzar is going no
one last time.

498
00:31:34,700 –> 00:31:36,600
I’m going to do what
Nebuchadnezzar tried to do back.

499
00:31:36,600 –> 00:31:38,600
Then, I’m going to take them
long enough, use them in the

500
00:31:38,600 –> 00:31:40,100
house of my God.
I want to fill them with my

501
00:31:40,100 –> 00:31:43,200
wine, and I don’t care about
that promise.

502
00:31:43,400 –> 00:31:44,800
I don’t care about that
property.

503
00:31:44,800 –> 00:31:48,300
I don’t care that God has said
know that the kingdom of Babylon

504
00:31:48,300 –> 00:31:52,200
is going to come to an end.
He goes and he takes, and he

505
00:31:52,200 –> 00:31:54,800
says, now we’re doing this my
way.

506
00:31:55,800 –> 00:31:58,800
And he sees some writing up on
the wall.

507
00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:02,700
Meanie meanie, Tikal, you
fastened.

508
00:32:04,000 –> 00:32:05,600
And this is the interpretation
of it.

509
00:32:05,600 –> 00:32:08,400
Verse 26.
This is the interpretation of

510
00:32:08,408 –> 00:32:12,900
the matter, meaning God has
numbered the days of your

511
00:32:12,900 –> 00:32:15,300
kingdom and brought it to an
end.

512
00:32:15,800 –> 00:32:19,500
Tikku you have been weighed in
the balances and found wanting

513
00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:24,300
Perez.
Your kingdom is divided and

514
00:32:24,300 –> 00:32:28,400
given to the medes and Persians.
As much as the Kingdom’s the

515
00:32:28,400 –> 00:32:32,100
kings of Babylon wanted their
Kingdom to be the Everlasting

516
00:32:32,100 –> 00:32:35,500
Kingdom.
God says I can count.

517
00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:41,600
Number way your kingdom, it’s
finite it only exists in this

518
00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:45,500
time this space for this period.
That’s all that’s going to be.

519
00:32:45,500 –> 00:32:48,500
This is a finite Kingdom and
it’s come to an end.

520
00:32:48,500 –> 00:32:52,800
It’s being pushed to the side
and given over to the medes and

521
00:32:52,800 –> 00:32:56,000
Persians.
And so the time of On comes to

522
00:32:56,000 –> 00:32:58,700
an end when we think through all
the, all the other, especially

523
00:32:58,700 –> 00:33:01,200
in Daniel and revelation, we
have time and time.

524
00:33:01,200 –> 00:33:05,100
Again, the promises and
prophecies are given that, this

525
00:33:05,100 –> 00:33:07,500
is going to happen for a number
of weeks or a number of days or

526
00:33:07,508 –> 00:33:09,400
a number of months.
And for all of those things were

527
00:33:09,408 –> 00:33:12,100
given specific times.
This is going to happen for a

528
00:33:12,108 –> 00:33:15,100
time time the dividing of time.
This has happened for 1260 days.

529
00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:20,900
All of these things are finite.
They’re all going to come to an

530
00:33:20,900 –> 00:33:25,200
end and in Revelation 10 verse 5
won’t turn it up.

531
00:33:26,600 –> 00:33:30,400
With the march of the rainbow
Angel, there’s a cry that goes

532
00:33:30,400 –> 00:33:37,200
out of that time, that there
will be time, no longer.

533
00:33:37,800 –> 00:33:40,700
And from that time, the kingdom
of God set up, and it’s no

534
00:33:40,700 –> 00:33:45,400
longer time it’s going forever.
So there is a time when you

535
00:33:45,400 –> 00:33:47,000
sense time ends and it goes
forever.

536
00:33:47,000 –> 00:33:49,700
But for all the kingdoms of the
world, for everything that we

537
00:33:49,700 –> 00:33:52,400
see around us, it’s all being
numbered encountered.

538
00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:57,100
It’s all here, within the bounds
of What God has said it can be.

539
00:33:58,500 –> 00:34:02,000
But there is a Time coming when
there will be time, no longer.

540
00:34:03,900 –> 00:34:10,699
Do we have the fire?
We, in a sense story of, Daniel,

541
00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:16,600
the final narrative section in
that sense in chapter 6, we have

542
00:34:16,600 –> 00:34:25,100
Daniel in the Lion’s Den, I just
love this that chapter 7, we’re

543
00:34:25,100 –> 00:34:28,400
given the prophecy only the
prophet anything about right now

544
00:34:29,000 –> 00:34:36,900
is What was the Babylonian
period represented by as an

545
00:34:36,900 –> 00:34:39,199
animal?
Hello.

546
00:34:39,199 –> 00:34:44,800
I’m Daniel has lived most of his
adult life in a lion’s den with

547
00:34:44,800 –> 00:34:47,800
people attacking going.
No, you don’t have to eat the

548
00:34:47,800 –> 00:34:50,800
strength that do this, do that
trying to tear him down, trying

549
00:34:50,800 –> 00:34:55,199
to break him away from his God.
But he lives a life Faithfully

550
00:34:55,199 –> 00:34:57,300
dedicated to God in faithful
prayers.

551
00:34:57,300 –> 00:35:01,000
That when they say when these
Persians come say watch out

552
00:35:01,000 –> 00:35:03,300
Daniel we’re going to throw you
in a lion’s den.

553
00:35:03,300 –> 00:35:07,700
He’s going beanie for 50 years.
I spent all of this time in the

554
00:35:07,700 –> 00:35:10,900
Lion’s Den already.
D and my God has kept me through

555
00:35:10,900 –> 00:35:12,400
all those things.
He’s given me prophecies.

556
00:35:12,400 –> 00:35:16,200
Give me promises.
There is nothing in, you know,

557
00:35:16,500 –> 00:35:19,300
suddenly okay, it’s a physical
line on a spiritual.

558
00:35:19,500 –> 00:35:23,600
It makes no difference to
Daniel, he stays dedicated to

559
00:35:23,607 –> 00:35:26,900
his God, he keeps his faith firm
and there.

560
00:35:27,500 –> 00:35:30,300
And then, as we roll on, through
the prophetic sections, it’s

561
00:35:30,300 –> 00:35:34,400
just the same story, time and
time again, that all of these

562
00:35:34,400 –> 00:35:38,100
Kings, all of these kingdoms are
only going to go for the time

563
00:35:38,100 –> 00:35:41,400
period.
David that God says they can.

564
00:35:42,200 –> 00:35:45,700
And we’re given in a sense, the
same prophecy for our days.

565
00:35:45,700 –> 00:35:52,200
If we come to Luke 21, Again,
stories and prophecies that we

566
00:35:52,200 –> 00:35:53,300
know.
Well.

567
00:35:58,000 –> 00:36:03,500
That Luke 21 is is really just a
repetition of the Prophecies of

568
00:36:03,500 –> 00:36:05,400
Daniel.
It’s the same story.

569
00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:10,100
Coming out verse 24, they will
fall by the edge of the sword.

570
00:36:10,100 –> 00:36:15,000
Be led captive, among all
nations, 8070 and Jerusalem will

571
00:36:15,000 –> 00:36:21,400
be trampled underfoot by the
Gentiles until the times of the

572
00:36:21,400 –> 00:36:26,400
Gentiles, be fulfilled that
these things are finite.

573
00:36:27,600 –> 00:36:32,700
And what is Christ’s message to
us in response to this with that

574
00:36:32,700 –> 00:36:35,900
time being quiet and US needing
to prepare for the coming of

575
00:36:35,900 –> 00:36:39,400
Christ that the next Kingdom
that’s going to take place in

576
00:36:39,400 –> 00:36:43,500
the world verse 34, but watch
yourselves, let your hearts be

577
00:36:43,500 –> 00:36:45,800
weighed down with dissipation
and drunkenness and the cares of

578
00:36:45,800 –> 00:36:48,700
life and that day come upon you,
suddenly like a trap.

579
00:36:49,300 –> 00:36:51,300
Don’t be weighed down by all of
the things that you can see

580
00:36:51,300 –> 00:36:53,900
around you now don’t be weighed
down by the cares of this life

581
00:36:53,900 –> 00:36:57,800
won’t be weighed down by
everything that the I can offer

582
00:36:57,800 –> 00:37:00,600
you don’t be weighed down by
those things.

583
00:37:00,600 –> 00:37:04,300
Don’t be distracted by them,
verse 34.

584
00:37:04,500 –> 00:37:08,900
For it will come upon all who
dwell on the face of the whole

585
00:37:08,900 –> 00:37:11,600
earth.
This is going to happen.

586
00:37:12,100 –> 00:37:17,000
Christ is going to return, but
stay awake at all times, praying

587
00:37:17,000 –> 00:37:19,500
that you may have the strength
to escape all of these things

588
00:37:19,500 –> 00:37:21,300
that are going to take place.
All of the events that are

589
00:37:21,300 –> 00:37:28,300
happening in the world around us
and what and to stand before the

590
00:37:28,308 –> 00:37:32,000
son of man that that promise is
for our time.

591
00:37:32,000 –> 00:37:36,200
Now that one day soon, we are
going to be able to stand with

592
00:37:36,200 –> 00:37:41,300
Daniel before the son of man in
our lot in the latter days upon

593
00:37:41,300 –> 00:37:45,400
the Earth we’re just going back
to Daniel 12.

594
00:37:49,000 –> 00:37:53,200
That as we wait for this time,
we know that that’s going to be

595
00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:57,200
the final conclusion of the
kingdoms of men that that all of

596
00:37:57,200 –> 00:38:07,100
this is going to come to an end.
We see their 12:1. and at that

597
00:38:07,100 –> 00:38:16,800
time, shall stand Michael, the
great prince who stands up for

598
00:38:16,800 –> 00:38:20,300
your people And there should be
a time of trouble such as never

599
00:38:20,300 –> 00:38:22,500
was since the nation until that
time.

600
00:38:23,000 –> 00:38:25,700
But at that time, your people
shall be delivered.

601
00:38:26,000 –> 00:38:31,400
Every one whose name shall be
found written in the book that

602
00:38:31,400 –> 00:38:33,700
this writing here.
This, this, this word of

603
00:38:33,700 –> 00:38:35,700
Prophecy from God, that these
people are going to be in my

604
00:38:35,700 –> 00:38:41,500
kingdom, our names in that book
are just as sure, a just as

605
00:38:41,500 –> 00:38:45,800
firm, just as fixed as the
promise that God wrote to say

606
00:38:46,200 –> 00:38:47,700
babylon’s going to come to an
end.

607
00:38:48,400 –> 00:38:50,700
The medo-persians they can have
their day and it’s going to be

608
00:38:50,700 –> 00:38:53,700
over all of the Hellenistic
kings are going to fight each

609
00:38:53,700 –> 00:38:54,800
other.
Get are going to rise and are

610
00:38:54,800 –> 00:38:57,300
times going to fade into the
sand and no one’s going to

611
00:38:57,300 –> 00:39:00,100
remember them the times of the
Gentiles overdressed.

612
00:39:00,100 –> 00:39:01,300
And yet, that’s all going to
happen.

613
00:39:02,000 –> 00:39:03,200
And that’s all going to come to
an end.

614
00:39:03,200 –> 00:39:07,500
All of those promises.
It’s the same God that he’s able

615
00:39:07,500 –> 00:39:09,700
to say these specific things
about the world.

616
00:39:09,700 –> 00:39:15,400
He’s able to say to you.
And I Your name is written in my

617
00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:18,500
book.
There’s a there’s a place for

618
00:39:18,500 –> 00:39:21,500
you in my kingdom.
I’ve written your name.

619
00:39:21,500 –> 00:39:25,200
There, it’s down.
Your part of that, that is the

620
00:39:25,200 –> 00:39:28,400
promise that God is giving to us
here.

621
00:39:29,600 –> 00:39:31,700
And many of those who sleep in
the dust of the Earth shall

622
00:39:31,700 –> 00:39:35,600
awake, some to everlasting life,
and some to Everlasting

623
00:39:35,600 –> 00:39:39,300
contempt, and those who are wise
shall shine like the brightness

624
00:39:39,300 –> 00:39:43,000
of the sky above, and those who
turn many to righteousness, like

625
00:39:43,000 –> 00:39:46,700
the stars forever.
But you Daniel, shut up the

626
00:39:46,700 –> 00:39:49,600
words and seal the book until
the time of the end.

627
00:39:50,500 –> 00:39:52,700
Many shall run to and fro and
knowledge shall increase.

628
00:39:52,700 –> 00:39:53,900
Yes.
Lots of things going to happen.

629
00:39:53,900 –> 00:39:56,400
The way, there’s going to be
lots of things to distract us.

630
00:39:56,400 –> 00:39:58,800
We’re not, we don’t know.
All of the things are going to

631
00:39:58,800 –> 00:40:00,700
happen between now and Christ
returning.

632
00:40:01,200 –> 00:40:02,900
What’s going to happen in
American politics?

633
00:40:02,900 –> 00:40:06,000
What’s Putin going to be doing?
There’s going to be a myriad of

634
00:40:06,000 –> 00:40:08,600
things that can weigh us down
and distract us as we try.

635
00:40:08,600 –> 00:40:11,300
And in a sense second-guess,
what God’s going to do?

636
00:40:12,100 –> 00:40:15,700
But we need to have firm and
fixed in our heart that the end

637
00:40:15,700 –> 00:40:19,700
of all of this.
The end of this world is God’s

638
00:40:19,700 –> 00:40:26,000
kingdom is going to be set up.
And our name is written for an

639
00:40:26,000 –> 00:40:42,600
allotted place.
