\n00:00:13,880 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\nTalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:17,320
\nI’m Levi.
\nAnd I’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:17,560 –> 00:00:19,480
\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:23,080
\nweek on this podcast.
\nWe select One Talk a week to <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:23,080 –> 00:00:26,200
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:29,120
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week with the <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,120 –> 00:00:31,840
\nshort intro beforehand to kind
\nof set the stage for the talk <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,840 –> 00:00:35,400
\nyou’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,400 –> 00:00:51,600
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHey everyone, it’s Jason <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:51,600 –> 00:00:53,560
\nHensley.
\nAnd this week we are going to be<\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:53,560 –> 00:00:56,440
\nlistening to a class by brother
\nColin Badger. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:56,960 –> 00:01:01,160
\nNow interestingly, I don’t
\nactually know where he gave this<\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:01,160 –> 00:01:05,440
\nclass the the site that I found
\nit on didn’t say it was listed <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:05,440 –> 00:01:08,600
\nunder miscellaneous talks.
\nSo I don’t know where this <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:08,600 –> 00:01:12,880
\nhappened, but it is class one of
\nfive in a series called The <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:12,880 –> 00:01:18,520
\nContinuity of Babylon.
\nNow, the reason that I think <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:18,520 –> 00:01:21,120
\nit’s really helpful, the reason
\nthat I like this talk so much, <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:21,560 –> 00:01:25,240
\nis because I think sometimes
\nwhen it comes to Daniel in <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:25,240 –> 00:01:28,400
\nRevelation, so not really all
\nprophecy, but specifically to <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:28,400 –> 00:01:31,600
\nthose prophecies, which
\ngenerally I term those <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:31,600 –> 00:01:34,800
\napocalyptic literature.
\nWhen it comes to apocalyptic <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:34,800 –> 00:01:38,360
\nliterature, like Daniel and
\nRevelation, we can sometimes get<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:38,360 –> 00:01:42,200
\noverwhelmed by all the history
\nthat’s connected to these books.<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:42,520 –> 00:01:45,520
\nYou can feel like, oh wow,
\nthere’s so much to think about, <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:45,520 –> 00:01:48,480
\nso much to learn before I can
\ntackle these books or understand<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:48,480 –> 00:01:50,400
\nthem.
\nAnd what Brother Collin does <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:50,400 –> 00:01:53,760
\nthat I think is really helpful,
\nis this entire class looks at <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:53,760 –> 00:01:57,120
\nthose books without discussing
\nthe history. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:57,600 –> 00:01:59,760
\nNow, I’m not saying that
\ndiscussing the history is bad. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:59,760 –> 00:02:04,160
\nI think we need to do that.
\nBut what he does is he lays a <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:04,160 –> 00:02:09,160
\nfoundation in the Bible for
\nseeing how what Daniel talks <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:09,160 –> 00:02:12,240
\nabout is connected to what
\nRevelation talks about. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:12,520 –> 00:02:16,840
\nAnd once we have that framework,
\nthen we are at the point where <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:16,840 –> 00:02:20,080
\nwe can look at history.
\nSo what I think he does is he <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:20,080 –> 00:02:23,680
\npresents to us a really good
\nintroduction to prophecies that <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:27,400
\ncan sometimes feel incredibly
\noverwhelming. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:28,360 –> 00:02:33,280
\nSo as you listen to it, I hope
\nthat you can really focus on all<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:33,280 –> 00:02:35,440
\nthe biblical links that he
\ngives. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:36,240 –> 00:02:41,760
\nHe shows us that the foundation
\nof Revelation is in Daniel, and <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:41,760 –> 00:02:45,680
\nnot just Daniel, but in
\nZechariah and Genesis. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:45,680 –> 00:02:48,920
\nNow, there’s one other thing
\nthat I want to bring out, and <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:48,920 –> 00:02:50,760
\nthis is near the beginning of
\nhis talk. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:51,440 –> 00:02:54,160
\nI just felt like this was a
\nreally good applicable point. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:55,280 –> 00:02:59,840
\nThe point is that a lot of times
\nwe try and create a distinction <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:00,280 –> 00:03:04,520
\nbetween what’s devotional
\nmaterial and what’s expositional<\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:04,520 –> 00:03:07,080
\nmaterial.
\nAnd Brother Collins suggests <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:07,080 –> 00:03:11,560
\nthat that’s a fake division,
\nthat the Bible doesn’t have a <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:11,560 –> 00:03:14,720
\ndivision between things that are
\ndevotional versus expositional. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:15,040 –> 00:03:18,200
\nAnd I think sometimes we try to
\ncreate this division because we <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:18,360 –> 00:03:21,600
\ntend to lean towards a
\nparticular way of understanding <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:21,600 –> 00:03:23,680
\nthe Bible.
\nAnd Brother Collins suggestion <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:23,680 –> 00:03:28,240
\nis In fact, the Bible doesn’t
\nmake that distinction, and all <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:28,240 –> 00:03:31,320
\nof its material is meant to be
\nthought about. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:32,600 –> 00:03:35,600
\nWe’re supposed to spend time
\nthinking about it, because as we<\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:35,600 –> 00:03:40,960
\nthink about it, right as we go
\ndeeper, that depth then has the <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:40,960 –> 00:03:46,280
\ndevotional impact.
\nThat depth causes us to want to <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:46,280 –> 00:03:48,800
\nbe different people and to think
\ndifferently. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:49,120 –> 00:03:51,280
\nSo I want to just bring out that
\npoint because I felt like that <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:51,280 –> 00:03:55,960
\nwas a really powerful point for
\nour own thinking and for our own<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:55,960 –> 00:03:58,080
\nactions.
\nSo here we go. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:02,160
\nThis is Brother Colin Badger
\nwith his roots in the Earth. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:02,680 –> 00:04:07,360
\nBrothers and sisters, interest
\nin the subject of Bible prophecy<\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:08,360 –> 00:04:11,680
\nhas been a precious heritage of
\nthe Christadelphian community <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:12,400 –> 00:04:16,640
\nsince its earliest days.
\nIt was viewed by our earliest <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:16,640 –> 00:04:21,880
\nbrethren as an integral part of
\nBible study, a must for both <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:21,880 –> 00:04:26,040
\nprivate and ecclesial study.
\nIn those early days, lectures, <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:26,040 –> 00:04:30,120
\nBible classes, and even
\nexhortations reflected what we <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:30,120 –> 00:04:32,680
\ncould call a prophetic
\nconsciousness. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:33,760 –> 00:04:38,920
\nBible prophecy fulfilled was
\nunderstood and appreciated for <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:38,920 –> 00:04:43,640
\nits value of evidence testifying
\nto the divine inspiration of <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:43,640 –> 00:04:48,440
\nScripture, And prophecy yet to
\nbe fulfilled was viewed as a <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:48,440 –> 00:04:53,280
\nsubject deserving serious
\nattention, a subject having an <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:53,280 –> 00:04:57,040
\nintegrity that raised it far
\nbeyond simply uncertain <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:57,040 –> 00:05:00,920
\nspeculation.
\nAnd that attitude towards Bible <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:00,920 –> 00:05:04,440
\nprophecy is very apparent when
\none goes back to some of our <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:04,440 –> 00:05:06,880
\nearliest magazines and the
\nearliest literature we <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:07,040 –> 00:05:11,880
\ndistributed in our community.
\nThe exhortational value that was<\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:11,880 –> 00:05:16,600
\nunderstood to result from taking
\nthe subject seriously lay in the<\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:21,000
\nfact that believers were able to
\ndetermine generally where they <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:25,960
\nwere along God’s timetable.
\nThere was therefore some <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:31,680
\nmeaning, some reason to present
\nexistence, and one had some <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:36,080
\nreason for hope that what was
\nnot yet fulfilled would be <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:36,080 –> 00:05:40,800
\nfulfilled on the basis of past
\nfulfillment of prophecy. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:42,400 –> 00:05:46,280
\nIt was therefore, for our
\nearliest brethren, a great sign <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:46,280 –> 00:05:50,840
\nof encouragement, a source of
\nexhortational value, not just, <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:51,160 –> 00:05:56,280
\nperhaps, speculation.
\nOur earliest writings reveal a <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:56,280 –> 00:06:00,520
\ndefinite conviction that God was
\nstill working in the nation’s <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:00,840 –> 00:06:03,720
\nand concern about what was going
\non in the nation’s therefore <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:03,720 –> 00:06:09,440
\ntook on a very earnest interest.
\nAll that was understood to give <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:09,440 –> 00:06:12,440
\nbelievers assurance for the
\ncoming Kingdom in the future. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:13,560 –> 00:06:16,360
\nAnd furthermore, when one looks
\nat some of our earliest writings<\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:16,360 –> 00:06:18,640
\non the subject and what was
\nwritten in the Christadelphian <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:18,640 –> 00:06:22,280
\nmagazine, it wouldn’t seem that
\nfrom those early writings that <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:22,280 –> 00:06:26,680
\nare marked, distinction was made
\nbetween that which was regarded <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:26,680 –> 00:06:31,120
\nas exhortational for a disciples
\nway of life as opposed to <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:31,120 –> 00:06:34,840
\nprophetic exposition.
\nMaking a distinction between <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:34,840 –> 00:06:38,800
\nthose two elements the way it is
\nsometimes today on our platforms<\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:38,800 –> 00:06:42,200
\nand in our writings is something
\nwe have inherited in the last 30<\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:45,560
\nor 40 years.
\nIt would seem much more than it <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:45,560 –> 00:06:47,600
\nbeing an attitude way back in
\nthe past. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:47,600 –> 00:06:53,040
\nIn our early years, the
\npolarizing between what is <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:53,040 –> 00:06:57,480
\nregarded as exhortational or
\ndevotional as opposed to the <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:57,480 –> 00:07:01,960
\nstudy of prophecy, I believe,
\nhas gone a long ways towards <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:01,960 –> 00:07:06,240
\ndiscouraging a serious
\ncommitment to prophetic Bible <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:06,240 –> 00:07:09,720
\nstudy and exposition.
\nAnd that distinction, I think, <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:09,720 –> 00:07:15,000
\nis reinforced by the attitude
\nwhich divorces prophecy from a <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:15,000 –> 00:07:18,560
\nstudy of the teachings of Jesus.
\nThey’re often regarded, you <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:22,360
\nknow, as as though they were on
\ntwo separate planes, the Gospels<\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:22,920 –> 00:07:26,320
\nor the teachings of Christ as
\nopposed to prophecy. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:27,080 –> 00:07:29,440
\nAs we’ll see, that’s a very
\nartificial distinction. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:30,240 –> 00:07:35,080
\nIn fact, when we turn to the
\nGospels, the Olivet prophecy is <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:35,080 –> 00:07:36,960
\ncontained in three of the
\nGospels. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:36,960 –> 00:07:41,720
\nOut of the four, it’s dealt with
\nas a singular subject in greater<\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:41,720 –> 00:07:45,320
\ndetail than any other subject in
\nthe Gospels. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:46,280 –> 00:07:49,520
\nSo it’s a perhaps a question of
\nperspective that we sometimes <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:49,680 –> 00:07:53,520
\nvery easily lose.
\nThe teachings of Jesus are not <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:53,520 –> 00:07:57,400
\nto be artificially distinguished
\nfrom a study of prophecy. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:58,160 –> 00:08:02,000
\nJesus had a great deal to say
\nabout prophecy, and as we said, <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:05,240
\nby looking at the proportion of
\nspace that is given to the <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:05,240 –> 00:08:09,560
\nOlivet prophecy, one can see the
\nemphasis that was obviously <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:09,560 –> 00:08:13,720
\nbeing placed on prophecy from
\nthe Lord Himself within the <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:13,720 –> 00:08:19,400
\nframework of the Gospel.
\nWhen we take a look at our <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:19,400 –> 00:08:23,240
\nattitude towards prophecy,
\ntherefore, it perhaps goes a <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:23,240 –> 00:08:28,640
\nlong ways to explain why we
\nindividually or why we as a <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:28,640 –> 00:08:31,800
\ncommunity today, don’t give as
\nmuch serious attention to the <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:31,800 –> 00:08:35,360
\nsubject.
\nBecause various brethren have <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:35,360 –> 00:08:38,080
\ndisagreed in their expositional
\nconclusions. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:38,440 –> 00:08:41,919
\nMany of us perhaps have felt
\nrather despairing and thrown our<\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:41,919 –> 00:08:45,400
\nhands up and said well, if our
\nolder brethren, or if our more <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:45,400 –> 00:08:49,000
\nlearned brethren so-called can’t
\nagree, how can I possibly make <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:52,280
\nthe discernment myself As to
\nwhat’s right and what’s wrong, <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:53,640 –> 00:08:58,240
\nI’d like just to look at Daniel
\nChapter 9 in regards to our <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:58,240 –> 00:09:03,040
\nattitude towards Bible prophecy,
\nespecially the books of Daniel <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:03,040 –> 00:09:07,720
\nand Revelation, which perhaps
\nmost of us approach with a <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:07,720 –> 00:09:12,360
\ncertain amount of trepidation.
\nDaniel Chapter 9. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:14,480 –> 00:09:21,720
\nDaniel tells us in verse 2 in
\nthe first year of his reign I <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:21,720 –> 00:09:26,760
\nDaniel understood by books the
\nnumber of the years where of the<\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:26,760 –> 00:09:30,160
\nword of the Lord came to
\nJeremiah the prophet, that he <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:30,160 –> 00:09:33,520
\nwould accomplish 70 years in the
\ndesolations of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:33,520 –> 00:09:38,640
\nAnd then Daniel tells us in
\nverse three I set my face unto <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:46,280
\nthe Lord God to seek by prayer
\nand supplications, with fasting <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:46,280 –> 00:09:51,280
\nand sackcloth and ashes.
\nIt’s rather interesting to note <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:55,080
\nthat perspective from Daniel.
\nDespite the fact that he was one<\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:55,080 –> 00:09:58,400
\nof the holy ones in a certain
\nsense, and despite the fact that<\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:58,400 –> 00:10:01,600
\nhe was gifted with the Holy
\nSpirit, and although he had <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:01,600 –> 00:10:05,200
\nvisions and revelations, was
\nprivileged above many of his own<\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:05,200 –> 00:10:10,800
\nday, he still had to labour over
\nthe books of prophecy. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:15,400
\nHe had up to this point in verse
\ntwo, been applying himself to <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:15,400 –> 00:10:19,760
\nthe Bible itself.
\nIt was by books that he <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:19,760 –> 00:10:23,960
\nunderstood the number of the
\nyears by which Jeremiah had <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:23,960 –> 00:10:26,360
\nindicated the 70 years would
\ncome to an end. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:27,320 –> 00:10:30,160
\nHe was dwelling upon the
\ndesolations of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:30,760 –> 00:10:36,120
\nHe wanted further understanding,
\nand in order to open his mind <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:36,120 –> 00:10:42,520
\nand heart to that understanding,
\nhis first step in verse 3, apart<\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:42,520 –> 00:10:46,840
\nfrom application to the books
\nthemselves, was to seek God by <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:46,840 –> 00:10:52,520
\nprayer and supplication, but
\nmore than that, by fasting, by <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:52,520 –> 00:10:58,400
\nsackcloth and by ashes.
\nHow seriously Daniel took the <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:58,400 –> 00:11:02,000
\nstudy of prophecy.
\nHe was concerned not only about <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:02,000 –> 00:11:05,120
\nevents, he was concerning about
\nconcerned about Bible <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:05,120 –> 00:11:08,680
\nchronology.
\nWhere he was in time, Was he <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:08,680 –> 00:11:10,480
\nclose to the end of the 70
\nyears? <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:10,760 –> 00:11:14,080
\nWere the many years still to
\nelapse, how long would it be <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:14,080 –> 00:11:17,840
\nbefore Jerusalem’s desolation
\nwould be lifted and a new turn <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:17,840 –> 00:11:21,920
\nof events take place?
\nHe agonized over that subject, <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:22,760 –> 00:11:26,760
\nand it was only by putting
\nhimself in to that subject, with<\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:26,760 –> 00:11:31,440
\nthat kind of fervency that the
\nFather responded in verse four, <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:32,080 –> 00:11:34,800
\nhe tells us, I prayed unto the
\nLord my God and made my <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:37,000
\nconfession, and we read his
\nconfession. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:37,400 –> 00:11:41,080
\nWe’ll move over some of the
\ndetails, but then we read of <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:41,080 –> 00:11:45,320
\ncourse that he receives an
\nanswer in this chapter. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:45,760 –> 00:11:50,320
\nHe tells us in verse 20, whilst
\nI was speaking and praying and <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:50,320 –> 00:11:54,440
\nconfessing my sin and the sin of
\nmy people, Israel, and <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:54,440 –> 00:11:58,120
\npresenting my supplication
\nbefore the Lord my God for the <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:58,120 –> 00:12:04,280
\nholy mountain of my God.
\nYeah, whilst I was speaking in <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:04,280 –> 00:12:07,920
\nprayer.
\nEven the man Gabriel, whom I had<\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:07,920 –> 00:12:10,640
\nseen in the vision at the
\nbeginning, being caused to fly <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:10,640 –> 00:12:14,840
\nswiftly, touched me about the
\ntime of the evening oblation, <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:20,920
\nhere in synchronization with the
\noffering of incense and <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:20,920 –> 00:12:24,920
\nsacrifice, as it would have been
\nback if he had been in his own <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:24,920 –> 00:12:27,440
\nland.
\nIn the operation of the temple <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:27,440 –> 00:12:30,720
\nservice, as the evening
\nsacrifice was placed on the <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:30,720 –> 00:12:34,200
\naltar, and the priest offered
\nthe burning incense sometime <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:34,200 –> 00:12:38,800
\nnear 6:00 in the evening.
\nAt that time Daniel was found <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:38,800 –> 00:12:42,320
\npraying, and at that time he
\nreceived an answer from the <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:42,320 –> 00:12:46,480
\nAngel Gabriel, the one who was
\nlater on, many years in the <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:46,480 –> 00:12:50,280
\nfuture, to announce a much
\ngreater message to Mary. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:51,560 –> 00:12:55,200
\nYou see, brothers and sisters,
\nthat even Daniel had to apply <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:55,200 –> 00:12:59,600
\nhimself to the books, despite
\nall the advantages that he had. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:00,360 –> 00:13:03,400
\nAnd it wasn’t until he had
\nagonized over that subject and <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:03,400 –> 00:13:05,760
\napplied himself diligently took
\nto it. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:06,520 –> 00:13:10,120
\nAnd it wasn’t until he had taken
\nthat subject very seriously that<\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:10,120 –> 00:13:12,720
\nfurther light and understanding
\nwas shed on his path. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:13,640 –> 00:13:16,080
\nAnd surely, brothers and
\nsisters, if that was true for <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:16,080 –> 00:13:22,080
\nDaniel, as good as a man as he
\nwas, and as close as he was to <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:22,080 –> 00:13:27,240
\nGod, how much more does it say
\nto us that further understanding<\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:27,800 –> 00:13:31,560
\nwill not be had unless we apply
\nourselves diligently to the <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:31,560 –> 00:13:34,960
\nsubject of Bible prophecy,
\nespecially to the more difficult<\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:34,960 –> 00:13:36,960
\nbooks like Daniel and
\nRevelation? <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:37,880 –> 00:13:41,200
\nHave we, in our own study,
\nagonized like Daniel? <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:41,480 –> 00:13:44,520
\nHave we applied ourselves with
\nthe kind of commitment and <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:44,520 –> 00:13:46,280
\nseriousness that he took the
\nsubject? <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:47,160 –> 00:13:51,000
\nAnd, like Daniel, being
\nconcerned not only with the <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:51,000 –> 00:13:56,200
\nevents that might transpire, but
\nalso where he was or where he is<\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:56,200 –> 00:13:58,680
\nin time in God’s prophetic
\ntimetable? <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:59,440 –> 00:14:02,640
\nAnd sometimes one hears today,
\nof course in our own circles, <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:02,960 –> 00:14:07,760
\nthat being overly concerned or
\npreoccupied with time periods is<\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:07,800 –> 00:14:11,240
\nan exercise in futility.
\nOne, he often hears that until <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:11,240 –> 00:14:14,440
\nthings are fulfilled, one really
\nis expending one’s time in an <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:14,440 –> 00:14:18,440
\nunnecessary, unfruitful way.
\nThe time hadn’t been expended <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:18,440 –> 00:14:21,160
\nhere.
\nHere, Daniel wanted to know in <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:21,160 –> 00:14:25,280
\nadvance, in advance, when these
\nthings would be. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:25,600 –> 00:14:29,120
\nHe wanted to know in advance how
\nmuch longer it was. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:29,880 –> 00:14:33,080
\nSo that obviously wasn’t an
\nexercise in futility for Daniel,<\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:33,640 –> 00:14:37,120
\nand only by applying himself the
\nway that he did did he receive <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:37,280 –> 00:14:40,160
\nan answer.
\nNow in that regard, there’s <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:40,160 –> 00:14:43,680
\nanother attitudinal concept.
\nI think we should just mention <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:43,680 –> 00:14:46,920
\nin passing.
\nThe question of time periods, <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:47,320 –> 00:14:51,080
\nwhich we won’t be laboring today
\nis an important one, as we can <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:51,080 –> 00:14:54,200
\nsee here from Daniel.
\nAnd the notion, as we’ve just <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:54,200 –> 00:14:57,720
\nmentioned, it’s often expressed
\nthe notion that says, well, it’s<\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:57,720 –> 00:15:00,680
\nnot until prophecy has been
\nfulfilled or the time period has<\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:00,680 –> 00:15:03,480
\nelapsed that one can really be
\nsure about anything. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:03,920 –> 00:15:06,680
\nIn terms of the prophetic
\nstatements about time and when <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:06,680 –> 00:15:09,280
\ncertain events will be
\nfulfilled, you know there’s a <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:09,280 –> 00:15:12,640
\ncontradiction there with what
\nthe Lord obviously intended in <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:12,640 –> 00:15:16,680
\nthe Olivet prophecy.
\nFor he gave the Olivet prophecy <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:17,240 –> 00:15:21,880
\nin such detail in order to warn
\nhis disciples in advance of the <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:21,880 –> 00:15:24,600
\nevents.
\nHad they not understood what <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:24,600 –> 00:15:28,600
\nthose events meant, had they not
\nreceived the basic concepts <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:32,520
\nbehind his prophetic statements
\nin forewarnings, they would not <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:34,840
\nhave been able to do what Jesus
\nsaid they have to do. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:35,440 –> 00:15:39,560
\nWhen you see these things, he
\ntold them, then flee from <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:39,560 –> 00:15:42,000
\nJerusalem.
\nThey had to, in other words, <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:42,040 –> 00:15:46,800
\nunderstand the basic sequence.
\nThey had to have a basic grasp <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:46,800 –> 00:15:51,040
\nof what he meant by his symbols,
\nand by the way he described <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:51,040 –> 00:15:53,080
\nthose events leading up to the
\nclimax. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:53,720 –> 00:15:57,680
\nSo foreknowledge was essential
\nfor those disciples in order to <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:57,680 –> 00:15:59,920
\nflee from Jerusalem at the right
\ntime. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:00,680 –> 00:16:04,080
\nHe told them that when you see
\nthe abomination of desolation <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:04,080 –> 00:16:08,880
\nstand where it ought not, and he
\nrefers them back to Daniel, then<\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:08,920 –> 00:16:12,680
\nknow that you are to flee.
\nIn other words, he exhorted them<\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:12,680 –> 00:16:15,400
\nnot only to pay attention to
\nwhat he had said, but he <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:15,400 –> 00:16:17,120
\nexhorted them to go back and
\nread Daniel. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:21,000
\nHe exhorted them to have a basic
\nunderstanding of that difficult <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:25,000
\nbook in the section he was
\nquoting, in order to understand <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:25,000 –> 00:16:30,120
\nwhen they were to flee.
\nSo the Lord expected a certain <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:30,120 –> 00:16:33,440
\namount of foreknowledge.
\nHe didn’t expect brothers and <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:33,440 –> 00:16:35,800
\nsisters to sit back and say,
\nwell until the events are <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:38,760
\nfulfilled.
\nI really would not do well to <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:38,880 –> 00:16:41,520
\nput a lot of time and effort
\ninto the study of these points. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:44,960
\nThat was obviously not the
\nLord’s attitude, nor was it <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:44,960 –> 00:16:48,960
\nDaniel’s.
\nIn our studies this afternoon <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:48,960 –> 00:16:52,280
\nand this morning, we want to
\nlook at what we would regard as <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:52,280 –> 00:16:56,160
\nsome basic keys to Bible
\nprophecy dealing with Daniel and<\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:56,160 –> 00:16:59,280
\nRevelation.
\nI’m sure for all of us, we have <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:59,280 –> 00:17:02,240
\nfound these two areas very
\ndifficult and challenging. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:03,400 –> 00:17:06,599
\nAssuming first of all that we
\nare convinced of the importance <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:06,599 –> 00:17:11,960
\nof Bible prophecy, where perhaps
\nmight we begin to look at the <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:11,960 –> 00:17:16,040
\nsubject of Daniel in Revelation?
\nOr perhaps we could say, how do <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:16,040 –> 00:17:20,319
\nwe begin?
\nWell, we are reminded of the old<\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:20,319 –> 00:17:24,839
\nsaying, the man who didn’t find
\nthe right answers probably <\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:24,839 –> 00:17:29,920
\ndidn’t ask the right questions.
\nSo I do believe the question of <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:29,920 –> 00:17:35,360
\nwhere do I begin and how do I
\nbegin would possibly provide the<\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:35,360 –> 00:17:39,600
\nkind of keys that are sometimes
\neluding us when we want to study<\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:39,600 –> 00:17:43,520
\nthis very important subject,
\nasking the right questions <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:43,520 –> 00:17:45,640
\nfirst.
\nWhere do I begin? <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:49,080
\nHow do I begin?
\nWell, for our from our limited <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:49,080 –> 00:17:51,960
\nexperience, brothers and
\nsisters, perhaps we could make <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:51,960 –> 00:17:53,880
\nsome suggestions throughout this
\nday. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:54,840 –> 00:17:58,840
\nFirst, we do believe that it’s
\nvaluable to look for the big <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:58,840 –> 00:18:03,960
\npicture first in Daniel and in
\nRevelation, what are or what is <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:04,160 –> 00:18:08,000
\nthe big picture?
\nAnd quite often we’ll find that <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:08,000 –> 00:18:10,760
\nthat deals with in the Book of
\nRevelation. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:10,760 –> 00:18:14,080
\nOf course, subjects like God,
\nmanifestation, that’s a very big<\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:14,080 –> 00:18:17,160
\npicture, a very important and
\nbroad 1 running right through <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:17,160 –> 00:18:19,880
\nthe prophecy.
\nBut when we’re dealing with the <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:19,880 –> 00:18:24,160
\nmore difficult parts of the
\nprophetic details, those parts <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:24,160 –> 00:18:27,840
\nthat are not so easy to
\nunderstand, they too have a big <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:27,960 –> 00:18:30,640
\npicture that can be grasped, as
\nwe’ll see. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:31,480 –> 00:18:34,640
\nIn other words, getting an
\nunderstanding of the plot before<\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:34,640 –> 00:18:39,960
\nwe try to analyze a single
\nevent, before we are concerned <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:39,960 –> 00:18:43,880
\nabout what the brass means in
\nthe fourth beast, before we’re <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:43,880 –> 00:18:47,280
\nconcerned about who the frog
\nlike spirits are in Revelation. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:47,960 –> 00:18:52,880
\nTo get the overall big picture
\nof that theme is essential <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:52,880 –> 00:18:55,560
\nfirst.
\nWe might find that even when we <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:55,560 –> 00:18:59,240
\ndo get that overall picture,
\nwhen we grasp the main plot of <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:59,240 –> 00:19:02,880
\nwhat’s being said or done, we
\nmight not always be absolutely <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:02,880 –> 00:19:05,320
\nsure of some of the small
\nsupporting details. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:10,240
\nBut if we’ve got the main plot,
\nthe big picture, in Daniel or in<\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:10,240 –> 00:19:13,960
\nRevelation, then even though we
\nmight not ever be sure about all<\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:13,960 –> 00:19:18,200
\nthe small details, we’ll know
\nhow they are to at least fit in.<\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:21,440
\nWe’ll have an idea as to what
\npattern they should follow in <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:21,440 –> 00:19:27,640
\nfitting into the big picture.
\nWhen we take a look at Daniel <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:27,760 –> 00:19:31,600
\nand Revelation, apart from
\nthemes such as God <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:35,560
\nmanifestation, the more positive
\nthemes in the difficult <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:35,560 –> 00:19:40,160
\nsections, it’s obvious to see
\nthat one very important overall <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:40,280 –> 00:19:44,920
\ntheme or topic in Daniel and in
\nRevelation deals with the <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:44,920 –> 00:19:49,560
\nbeasts, what we could call the
\nBeast theme A. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:55,520
\nSecondly, it’s helpful to look
\nfor major concepts that tie in <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:55,520 –> 00:19:59,280
\nwith the big picture, if one of
\nthe big pictures is the question<\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:59,280 –> 00:20:02,320
\nof the beasts, who they are and
\nwhat they represent. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:03,680 –> 00:20:08,640
\nAre there any major concepts
\nwhich are tied to that overall <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:12,760
\nbig picture or theme?
\nAnd as we progressed in our <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:12,760 –> 00:20:17,120
\nfirst class this morning, I’m
\ngoing to try and highlight more <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:17,120 –> 00:20:21,240
\nthan once how that big theme of
\nthe beasts stands out. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:21,680 –> 00:20:26,160
\nAnd secondly, how that there is
\none very basic major concept <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:26,160 –> 00:20:30,240
\nwhich is tied with that theme.
\nAnd with those two keys in mind,<\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:30,240 –> 00:20:34,560
\nI believe a lot of doors will
\nunlock and it’s helpful to go <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:34,560 –> 00:20:38,880
\nthrough Revelation and Daniel
\njust trying to unravel that one <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:38,920 –> 00:20:42,320
\nbasic theme and then look at the
\nsupporting details later. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:43,280 –> 00:20:46,680
\nWell, let’s do that together.
\nFirst of all, if we were to scan<\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:46,680 –> 00:20:51,760
\nthe Book of Revelation for
\nstriking details, what would <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:51,760 –> 00:20:56,960
\ncapture our notice first?
\nWell, in the sections dealing <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:56,960 –> 00:21:02,560
\nwith prophetic details other
\nthan the scenes of the future <\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:02,560 –> 00:21:06,680
\nglory in the Kingdom and God
\nmanifestation, which are another<\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:06,680 –> 00:21:10,920
\nbig picture in Revelation, it
\nshould strike us that starting <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:18,400
\nin about Revelation chapter 12,
\nwe are introduced to a very <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:18,400 –> 00:21:23,120
\nimportant theme, namely that
\ndealing with the beasts. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:23,240 –> 00:21:27,680
\nAs we’ve said, we noticed how
\nthis is presented to us in <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:27,680 –> 00:21:33,200
\nRevelation chapter 12.
\nJohn tells us in verse 3 there <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:33,200 –> 00:21:37,760
\nappeared another wonder in
\nheaven and behold, a great red <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:37,840 –> 00:21:43,160
\ndragon having seven heads and 10
\nhorns and seven crowns upon his <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:43,160 –> 00:21:46,800
\nheads.
\nHe then performs a number of <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:46,800 –> 00:21:52,160
\nvery important acts here in
\nverse 4, so we’re introduced to <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:52,160 –> 00:21:54,960
\na dragon.
\nWe progress. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:55,080 –> 00:22:00,520
\nChapter 13.
\nJohn tells us that he stood upon<\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:00,520 –> 00:22:04,640
\nthe sand of the sea, and saw a
\nbeast rise up out of the sea, <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:04,640 –> 00:22:09,240
\nhaving seven heads and 10 horns,
\nand upon his horns 10 crowns, <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:09,720 –> 00:22:12,000
\nand upon his head’s the name of
\nblasphemy. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:13,040 –> 00:22:17,280
\nAnd then he tells us in verse 2,
\nThe beast which I saw was like <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:17,280 –> 00:22:21,280
\nunto a leopard, and his feet
\nwere as the feet of a bear, and <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:21,280 –> 00:22:23,120
\nhis mouth is the mouth of a
\nlion. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:23,800 –> 00:22:29,000
\nAnd the dragon, the unseen
\ncharacter here, the dragon gave <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:29,000 –> 00:22:32,280
\nhim his power and his seat and
\ngreat authority. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:33,360 –> 00:22:38,400
\nThe dragon hasn’t disappeared.
\nThe dragon here in chapter 13 is<\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:38,400 –> 00:22:41,480
\nthe motivating force for this
\nnew beast that emerges. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:42,080 –> 00:22:46,480
\nThe dragon now is camouflaged,
\ncovert, not obvious, but <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:46,480 –> 00:22:50,560
\nnevertheless he is the dynamic
\npower behind this new sea beast <\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:50,600 –> 00:22:53,240
\nthat emerges.
\nVerse 11. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:53,760 –> 00:22:57,960
\nJohn says I beheld another beast
\ncoming up out of the earth, and <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:57,960 –> 00:23:01,200
\nhe had two horns like a lamb,
\nand he spake as a dragon. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:02,000 –> 00:23:06,520
\nHe exercises all the power of
\nthe first beast before him, and <\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:06,520 –> 00:23:09,520
\ncauseth the earth and them which
\ndwell therein, to worship the <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:09,520 –> 00:23:12,720
\nfirst beast whose deadly wound
\nwas healed. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:14,000 –> 00:23:18,280
\nNow we see a link then, between
\nthis earth beast and the sea <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:18,280 –> 00:23:21,520
\nbeast.
\nAnd since the sea beast has has <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:21,800 –> 00:23:25,880
\nhad its motive power from the
\ndragon, we should suspect the <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:25,880 –> 00:23:28,360
\ndragon too must be some force as
\nwell. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:28,360 –> 00:23:31,680
\nStill at this time, and we’re
\nnot wrong. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:32,120 –> 00:23:36,280
\nAs we progress through the Book
\nof Revelation beyond chapter 13,<\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:36,600 –> 00:23:38,960
\nwe find that the dragon is alive
\nand well. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:39,680 –> 00:23:45,720
\nWe go to chapter 16, and when
\nthe three unclean spirits in <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:45,720 –> 00:23:51,080
\nverse 13 are mentioned, like
\nfrogs, they come out of the <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:51,080 –> 00:23:55,160
\nmouth of the dragon.
\nThe dragon then is still there, <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:55,280 –> 00:24:00,360
\nperhaps covert, not too obvious,
\nbut he is present and he is that<\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:00,360 –> 00:24:05,160
\ntime still alongside of one of
\nthe other beasts, the beasts <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:05,600 –> 00:24:08,800
\nwith the false prophet.
\nAs we go further through <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:08,800 –> 00:24:13,800
\nrevelation into chapter 17, we
\nmeet a scarlet colored beast in <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:13,800 –> 00:24:18,920
\nverse 3, and we might wonder if
\nat this point the dragon is <\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:18,920 –> 00:24:21,560
\nstill alive and well.
\nThat was back in chapter 12. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:22,760 –> 00:24:24,040
\nBut we’re not disappointed, are
\nwe? <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:24,600 –> 00:24:28,600
\nBecause when we go a little
\nfurther in Revelation, beyond <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:28,600 –> 00:24:33,000
\nthis scarlet colored beast, we
\ndiscover that indeed, the dragon<\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:33,000 –> 00:24:36,920
\nis still around.
\nFor the dragon is mentioned as <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:36,920 –> 00:24:42,120
\nlate on as chapter 20 and verse
\ntwo at the time of the <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:42,120 –> 00:24:46,800
\nMillennium.
\nYou see, then that’s obviously <\/p>\n

367
\n00:24:46,800 –> 00:24:50,160
\nan important theme.
\nWhatever those beasts have to do<\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:50,160 –> 00:24:53,960
\nwith, they take up a lot of
\nspace in the Book of Revelation.<\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:54,120 –> 00:24:57,240
\nAt the hinge of the book,
\nRevelation Chapter 11 is about <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:57,240 –> 00:25:01,080
\nthe midpoint of the Book of
\nRevelation, and from there on, <\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:01,200 –> 00:25:05,280
\nsignificantly, the second-half
\nof the Book of Revelation begins<\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:05,280 –> 00:25:07,360
\nwith this dragon and ends with
\nthis dragon. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:07,720 –> 00:25:11,120
\nAnd in between there are
\nmanifestations of this dragon <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:11,320 –> 00:25:13,680
\nthrough the name of the sea
\nbeast and through the name of <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:13,680 –> 00:25:17,440
\nthe Earth beast.
\nAnd in disguise, the dragon <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:17,440 –> 00:25:19,760
\nfuels these beasts with their
\npower. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:19,840 –> 00:25:23,200
\nHe gives them their power.
\nThere is then a kind of <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:26,440
\ncontinuity which runs through
\nthe Book of Revelation from <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:26,440 –> 00:25:30,440
\nabout Chapter 11 to the end,
\ndealing with that very important<\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:30,440 –> 00:25:34,560
\nbig picture, the beasts.
\nAnd then, of course, it’s no <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:34,560 –> 00:25:38,560
\nsurprise when we analyze
\nRevelation 13 with those sea <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:38,560 –> 00:25:41,720
\nbeasts back there again in verse
\none. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:42,400 –> 00:25:47,480
\nOr the sea beast, rather.
\nWith our ear to the Old <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:47,480 –> 00:25:52,160
\nTestaments, we can tell that we
\nhave seen parts of this beast <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:52,160 –> 00:25:54,720
\nbefore, or even though now he’s
\na bit of a conglomerate. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:55,800 –> 00:25:59,000
\nFor we recognize that in this
\nbeast he comes out of the sea in<\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:59,000 –> 00:26:03,440
\nverse one and a very important
\nlink with Daniel Seven, that <\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:03,440 –> 00:26:09,120
\nthis beast has associations with
\na leopard, a bear, a lion, and <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:09,120 –> 00:26:10,840
\nthen of course the dragon
\nitself. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:11,720 –> 00:26:14,920
\nWhen we go back to Daniel
\nchapter seven, we find most of <\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:14,920 –> 00:26:18,440
\nthose parts.
\nWe also discover that in Daniel <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:18,440 –> 00:26:23,160
\nChapter 7, before those fourth
\nbeasts, 4 beasts emerge, they <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:23,160 –> 00:26:26,360
\ntoo come out of a watery grave
\nor a watery bed. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:26,880 –> 00:26:29,000
\nThey come out of a kind of
\nwatery abyss. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:29,000 –> 00:26:32,720
\nIn Daniel 7, verse one, the wind
\nstrives over the ocean. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:32,920 –> 00:26:37,240
\nThe waves are tossing, and over
\nthat horrid, brooding scene <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:37,600 –> 00:26:41,280
\nemerges the first beast that
\nDaniel sees in Chapter 7. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:41,840 –> 00:26:45,720
\nThen from the same watery source
\nemerges the second beast, and so<\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:45,720 –> 00:26:49,360
\non to the 4th beast.
\nSo then there’s a link here, <\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:49,360 –> 00:26:53,400
\nisn’t there?
\nDaniel sees these beasts emerge <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:53,400 –> 00:26:56,680
\nout of a watery sea.
\nJohn sees the same. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:57,040 –> 00:27:00,800
\nJohn sees parts of Daniel’s
\nbeasts in a conglomerate form in<\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:04,720
\nchapter 13.
\nThere’s a link, then, with <\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:04,720 –> 00:27:09,440
\nDaniel and Revelation.
\nThe theme of the beasts is one <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:09,440 –> 00:27:11,800
\nthat bridges both Old and New
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:11,920 –> 00:27:16,400
\nTherefore, the theme of the
\nbeast takes up a fair portion of<\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:16,400 –> 00:27:20,840
\nspace in the book of Daniel.
\nIt does likewise in Revelation, <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:21,480 –> 00:27:25,480
\nand on that basis we can be sure
\nthat we’re onto a very important<\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:25,480 –> 00:27:28,320
\ntopic.
\nIt’s a major big picture, <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:29,360 –> 00:27:32,640
\nsurely, if we understood
\nbasically what that theme is all<\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:32,640 –> 00:27:36,040
\nabout and what those beasts
\nbasically represent. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:36,880 –> 00:27:39,120
\nAnd although we, as we’ve said,
\nmay not be sure of all the <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:39,120 –> 00:27:42,360
\nsupporting details like the
\nfrog, like spirits and who they <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:42,360 –> 00:27:45,920
\nare, we’ll understand roughly
\nwhat pattern they must fit into.<\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:45,920 –> 00:27:51,160
\nAnd I think in our Bible study
\nwith this topic, it’s extremely <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:51,200 –> 00:27:55,000
\nhelpful and less frustrating to
\napproach Daniel and Revelation <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:57,880
\nthis way.
\nKeep going back to these two <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:57,880 –> 00:28:03,440
\nbooks with big or major themes
\nor pictures in mind and tackle <\/p>\n

419
\n00:28:03,440 –> 00:28:07,240
\nthem as a unit, as a major theme
\nfrom Revelation and Daniel <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:07,240 –> 00:28:09,640
\ntogether.
\nThen going back and perhaps <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:09,640 –> 00:28:13,240
\nlooking at another important
\ntheme and seeing how they tie in<\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:13,800 –> 00:28:17,200
\nrather than trying to solve all
\nthe small details at once. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:18,200 –> 00:28:20,760
\nThere was something else that
\nshould strike us in Revelation <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:22,120 –> 00:28:23,720
\njust going back there
\nmomentarily. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:25,880 –> 00:28:31,520
\nAnd it’s this that there is
\nmention of an important city <\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:32,520 –> 00:28:36,520
\ntied in with these beasts.
\nAnd what is that important city <\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:36,520 –> 00:28:40,960
\nthat ties in with these beasts?
\nWell, we don’t have to look very<\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:40,960 –> 00:28:43,800
\nfar.
\nWhen we get to as far as <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:43,800 –> 00:28:51,280
\nRevelation 17, we’re introduced
\nto the name Babylon, Verse 5, <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:52,160 –> 00:28:57,160
\ntying in with these beasts.
\nBabylon connected somehow with <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:57,160 –> 00:29:00,040
\nthis woman and with the beast
\nsystem. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:29:01,320 –> 00:29:06,360
\nIf we go back to Revelation 16
\njust after mentioning the dragon<\/p>\n

433
\n00:29:06,360 –> 00:29:10,000
\nand the beast and the false
\nprophet in verse 13 of <\/p>\n

434
\n00:29:10,000 –> 00:29:13,920
\nRevelation 16, and after
\nmentioning Armageddon and verse <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:13,920 –> 00:29:20,000
\n16, we have mentioned in verse
\n19 of the Great City and great <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:20,160 –> 00:29:25,280
\nBabylon brings to our attention
\nagain the Old Testament <\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:25,280 –> 00:29:31,560
\nconnections and threads.
\nWe see then that this is <\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:31,560 –> 00:29:36,000
\nimportant to understand.
\nNot only do we see the links <\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:36,000 –> 00:29:38,640
\nhere throughout Revelation with
\none another, but we see how they<\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:38,640 –> 00:29:43,360
\nthrow threads back into Daniel.
\nAnd it’s curious, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:43,600 –> 00:29:47,600
\nAnd trying to piece the picture
\ntogether that this question of <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:47,600 –> 00:29:52,840
\nthe beasts found in Daniel and
\nin Revelation has associated <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:52,840 –> 00:29:57,040
\nwith it the name Babylon.
\nAnd it’s a curious thing, isn’t <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:57,040 –> 00:30:01,160
\nit, That in Daniel, the only
\nother book really that has this <\/p>\n

445
\n00:30:01,160 –> 00:30:05,320
\nlink with the beasts, Daniel was
\nin Babylon. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:30:06,160 –> 00:30:08,680
\nHe was in Babylon when he saw
\nthese beasts. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:30:10,040 –> 00:30:13,760
\nNow there’s another link.
\nHere we find in Revelation the <\/p>\n

448
\n00:30:13,760 –> 00:30:16,840
\nbeasts in conjunction with the
\nname Babylon. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:30:17,560 –> 00:30:20,840
\nIn the Old Testament, we’re
\ndrawn into the book of Daniel <\/p>\n

450
\n00:30:20,840 –> 00:30:23,440
\nwhere we see the clearest link
\nwith these beasts. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:30:23,840 –> 00:30:26,600
\nAnd lo and behold, Daniel is in
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:30:27,040 –> 00:30:29,480
\nAnd Babylon figures very
\nprominently through most of the <\/p>\n

453
\n00:30:29,480 –> 00:30:32,640
\nbook of Daniel.
\nSurely that’s no coincidence. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:33,440 –> 00:30:37,040
\nWhat’s Revelation telling us?
\nSurely it’s telling us that <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:37,040 –> 00:30:39,200
\nwe’ve got to go back to the Book
\nof Daniel. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:43,520
\nAnd furthermore, it’s telling us
\nthat whatever we make of this <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:43,520 –> 00:30:47,400
\nbeast system found throughout
\nRevelation and Daniel, whatever <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:47,400 –> 00:30:51,600
\nwe make of it, we’ve got to keep
\nin mind the word Babylon. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:52,000 –> 00:30:56,440
\nIt’s inseparable from the beast
\nsystem somehow, in some Mystic <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:56,440 –> 00:31:00,040
\nway, perhaps.
\nNow, looking at this theme from <\/p>\n

461
\n00:31:00,040 –> 00:31:04,280
\nthis kind of approach makes it a
\nlot simpler, and it helps to put<\/p>\n

462
\n00:31:04,280 –> 00:31:07,360
\nthe pieces together 1 by 1 as
\nthey belong together. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:31:07,920 –> 00:31:09,760
\nSo that’s the procedure we’re
\ngoing to follow. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:31:10,520 –> 00:31:14,200
\nHow in the world is Babylon
\nstill present in the Book of <\/p>\n

465
\n00:31:14,200 –> 00:31:17,440
\nRevelation at the time of the
\nend, next to Armageddon? <\/p>\n

466
\n00:31:18,520 –> 00:31:21,080
\nWell, without doing a lot of
\nBible study at that point, we <\/p>\n

467
\n00:31:21,080 –> 00:31:25,040
\ncan at least conclude this.
\nHowever, Babylon is present at <\/p>\n

468
\n00:31:25,040 –> 00:31:27,800
\nthe time of Armageddon or at the
\ntime of the Lord’s return. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:27,800 –> 00:31:31,200
\nIt can’t be literal.
\nThat is, it can’t be the old <\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:31,200 –> 00:31:35,680
\npolitical empire that is now
\ndisintegrated and gone somehow. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:35,680 –> 00:31:39,560
\nWe would be right to conclude
\nBabylon has lived on past the <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:39,560 –> 00:31:44,600
\ntime of Daniel and it’s still in
\nsome power or form present as an<\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:44,600 –> 00:31:47,040
\nantagonistic force when Christ
\nreturns. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:47,920 –> 00:31:52,800
\nThat’s a very important concept
\nto understand that supports the <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:52,800 –> 00:31:56,040
\nmain big idea.
\nThe big idea is the B system <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:56,480 –> 00:32:01,840
\nsupporting concept Babylon.
\nBut Babylon not political so <\/p>\n

477
\n00:32:01,840 –> 00:32:05,080
\nmuch.
\nBabylon, not as the old empire <\/p>\n

478
\n00:32:05,080 –> 00:32:08,840
\nunder Nebuchadnezzar, but
\nBabylon still somehow present in<\/p>\n

479
\n00:32:08,840 –> 00:32:11,200
\nthe earth.
\nHow present in the earth? <\/p>\n

480
\n00:32:11,640 –> 00:32:13,880
\nIn what form is it present still
\nin the earth? <\/p>\n

481
\n00:32:14,400 –> 00:32:16,720
\nWell, we’ll explore that more
\nwhen we look at Revelation in <\/p>\n

482
\n00:32:16,720 –> 00:32:19,320
\nour last class, where we’ll
\ndevote all our attention to the <\/p>\n

483
\n00:32:19,320 –> 00:32:23,240
\nBook of Revelation in this area.
\nBut you see, that’s an important<\/p>\n

484
\n00:32:23,240 –> 00:32:26,400
\nconcept.
\nBabylon still present when <\/p>\n

485
\n00:32:26,400 –> 00:32:29,880
\nChrist returns.
\nBabylon tied in with the beasts.<\/p>\n

486
\n00:32:30,760 –> 00:32:34,760
\nNow if we pursue that just a
\nlittle bit further, let’s go <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:34,760 –> 00:32:38,400
\nback into the Old Testament.
\nNow we’re working on a <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:38,400 –> 00:32:42,280
\nsupporting concept.
\nBack we go into the Old <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:42,280 –> 00:32:44,800
\nTestament with this question of
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:45,320 –> 00:32:48,880
\nLet me ask you a question as we
\ngo back here. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:49,680 –> 00:32:56,120
\nWhat is the first Gentile
\nKingdom or power mentioned in <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:56,120 –> 00:33:00,160
\nthe Old Testament?
\nThe first Gentile power or <\/p>\n

493
\n00:33:00,160 –> 00:33:04,480
\nKingdom.
\nIn fact, we could even make it <\/p>\n

494
\n00:33:04,480 –> 00:33:06,840
\neven less qualified.
\nWhat is the first Kingdom <\/p>\n

495
\n00:33:07,240 –> 00:33:11,560
\nmentioned in the Old Testament?
\nWell, it’s not surprising to <\/p>\n

496
\n00:33:11,560 –> 00:33:14,960
\nnotice as we go back to Genesis
\nchapter 10. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:33:16,320 –> 00:33:24,400
\nThe Bible tells us that the very
\nfirst Kingdom organized power <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:24,920 –> 00:33:29,880
\nunder man’s direction is none
\nother than Babylon, and it comes<\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:29,880 –> 00:33:34,640
\nunder several names.
\nIn Genesis chapter 10 we read <\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:34,640 –> 00:33:42,280
\ndown in verse five, first of
\nGenesis 10, the mention of the <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:42,280 –> 00:33:46,840
\nword Gentile, Very important.
\nPrelude verse five of Genesis <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:46,840 –> 00:33:50,320
\n10.
\nBy these were the Isles of the <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:50,320 –> 00:33:55,560
\nGentiles divided in their lands.
\nInteresting. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:55,720 –> 00:33:59,320
\nProbably one of the first
\nreferences to the term Gentiles,<\/p>\n

505
\n00:34:00,040 –> 00:34:05,520
\nand in this conjunction we read
\ndown in verse 10 and the <\/p>\n

506
\n00:34:05,520 –> 00:34:15,280
\nbeginning of his Kingdom was
\nBabylon Margin Babylon first <\/p>\n

507
\n00:34:15,280 –> 00:34:18,400
\nmention of a Kingdom, first
\nreference to the word Kingdom <\/p>\n

508
\n00:34:18,400 –> 00:34:22,239
\nperiod in the Old Testament, if
\nyou check the concordance Now in<\/p>\n

509
\n00:34:22,239 –> 00:34:25,280
\na certain sense a Kingdom had
\nalready existed before then, <\/p>\n

510
\n00:34:26,320 –> 00:34:30,280
\ninsofar as God through Samuel
\ntold the people of his day. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:34:30,280 –> 00:34:34,800
\nGod was king over his people.
\nBut it’s never spelled out that <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:34,800 –> 00:34:38,000
\nway directly until we get to the
\ntime of Samuel. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:38,000 –> 00:34:40,679
\nAnd there are hints also in the
\nLaw of Moses that that was only <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:40,679 –> 00:34:43,760
\nso from the beginning.
\nBut this is the first reference <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:43,760 –> 00:34:48,159
\nto Kingdom Babylon.
\nFurthermore, it is synonymous <\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:48,159 –> 00:34:50,719
\nwith the land of Shinar.
\nKeep that in mind. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:51,040 –> 00:34:54,960
\nThe land of Shinar.
\nNow let me ask another question.<\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:56,000 –> 00:34:59,760
\nThat’s the first reference to a
\nKingdom, especially here. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:59,760 –> 00:35:02,080
\nNow a gentile Kingdom in the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:35:02,680 –> 00:35:05,680
\nWhat’s the 1st Kingdom mentioned
\nin the New Testament? <\/p>\n

521
\n00:35:07,080 –> 00:35:11,000
\nThe first dominion or power
\nmentioned in the New Testament? <\/p>\n

522
\n00:35:14,000 –> 00:35:22,640
\nMatthew Chapter one, more than
\njust Bible trivia when we ask <\/p>\n

523
\n00:35:22,640 –> 00:35:26,520
\nthose kind of questions provides
\na very interesting perspective <\/p>\n

524
\n00:35:26,520 –> 00:35:31,560
\nat the outset of our study.
\nLet’s go Matthew chapter one in <\/p>\n

525
\n00:35:31,560 –> 00:35:36,480
\na very unlikely place, the
\ngenealogy of our Lord and notice<\/p>\n

526
\n00:35:36,520 –> 00:35:42,440
\nhow we are immediately hit with
\nthe word Babylon in a somewhat <\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:42,440 –> 00:35:45,320
\nincidental way, but it is
\nimmediate. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:45,400 –> 00:35:50,160
\nIn the New Testament we read in
\nverse 11 Josiah begat Jeconiah <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:50,160 –> 00:35:53,680
\nand his brethren about the time
\nthey were carried away to <\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:53,680 –> 00:35:56,160
\nBabylon.
\nFirst Kingdom mentioned in the <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:56,160 –> 00:36:00,160
\nNew Testament, then it’s
\nmentioned again in verse 12 and <\/p>\n

532
\n00:36:00,160 –> 00:36:03,880
\nafter they were brought to
\nBabylon then it’s mentioned <\/p>\n

533
\n00:36:03,880 –> 00:36:08,000
\ntwice more in verse 17.
\nAll the generations from Abraham<\/p>\n

534
\n00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:11,880
\nto David are 14 generations, and
\nfrom David until the carrying <\/p>\n

535
\n00:36:11,880 –> 00:36:16,400
\naway into Babylon are 14
\ngenerations, and from the caring<\/p>\n

536
\n00:36:16,400 –> 00:36:20,160
\naway into Babylon onto Christ
\nare 14 generations. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:36:20,480 –> 00:36:22,280
\nYou see how Babylon is being
\nused there? <\/p>\n

538
\n00:36:22,560 –> 00:36:26,680
\nIt’s being used as a kind of
\nmarking in the chronology of our<\/p>\n

539
\n00:36:26,680 –> 00:36:29,320
\nLord.
\nIt’s a way of marking off the <\/p>\n

540
\n00:36:29,320 –> 00:36:32,840
\nvarious genealogies in sections
\nthat have led up to our Lord’s <\/p>\n

541
\n00:36:32,840 –> 00:36:37,560
\nlife and to his birth on earth.
\nBut it is striking that the <\/p>\n

542
\n00:36:37,560 –> 00:36:41,920
\nfirst mention of a Kingdom in
\nthe New Testament is Babylon. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:42,120 –> 00:36:46,720
\nFour times in the first book and
\nthe first chapter, Babylon comes<\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:46,720 –> 00:36:50,800
\nto our view, and Babylon comes
\nto our view in a very similar <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:50,800 –> 00:36:56,040
\nway in Genesis First power that
\nGod draws attention to, that <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:56,040 –> 00:37:00,080
\nwould be obviously not his
\nKingdom, something other than <\/p>\n

547
\n00:37:00,080 –> 00:37:03,160
\nhis area or his domain of
\nrulership. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:37:04,560 –> 00:37:11,800
\nLet’s go back to Genesis again,
\nback into the life of Abraham. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:37:18,120 –> 00:37:24,840
\nWe noticed that the name Shinar
\nwas given in Genesis 10 as being<\/p>\n

550
\n00:37:24,840 –> 00:37:28,040
\nsynonymous with Babel or Babylon
\nin the same basic area. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:37:29,920 –> 00:37:32,560
\nIt comes to our attention
\nsimultaneously. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:37:32,560 –> 00:37:35,560
\nShinar does with the name
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:37:36,680 –> 00:37:39,960
\nNow.
\nIt’s a curious thing that Shinar<\/p>\n

554
\n00:37:39,960 –> 00:37:42,080
\nshows up again in the life of
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:37:42,960 –> 00:37:48,760
\nThis time we discover that there
\nis an antagonism between the <\/p>\n

556
\n00:37:48,760 –> 00:37:53,680
\ngodly man Abraham and Shinar.
\nFor we read in verse one It came<\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:53,680 –> 00:37:58,360
\nto pass in the days of Amraphel
\nking of Shinar, Arioch king of <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:58,360 –> 00:38:02,480
\nAl Asser Chile, Amur king of
\nElam entitled King of Nations. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:38:02,800 –> 00:38:07,960
\nThat these made war with another
\ncity group or a city state as <\/p>\n

560
\n00:38:07,960 –> 00:38:13,440
\nmentioned in verse 2.
\nSo Genesis chapter 14 introduces<\/p>\n

561
\n00:38:13,440 –> 00:38:19,960
\nin this stage in Abraham’s life
\na war between Abraham and some <\/p>\n

562
\n00:38:19,960 –> 00:38:25,000
\nof the surrounding Gentile
\npowers, and he finds himself at <\/p>\n

563
\n00:38:25,000 –> 00:38:30,360
\nwar with Shinar and other
\nnations that are in conjunction <\/p>\n

564
\n00:38:30,360 –> 00:38:34,280
\nwith Shinar.
\nAnd we noticed that Shinar is <\/p>\n

565
\n00:38:34,280 –> 00:38:39,520
\nmentioned first in verse one.
\nSo here, back in the Old <\/p>\n

566
\n00:38:39,520 –> 00:38:45,040
\nTestament, in a very early
\nstage, we find a man of God <\/p>\n

567
\n00:38:46,200 –> 00:38:52,160
\nantagonistic to Shinar.
\nWe find Shinar being associated <\/p>\n

568
\n00:38:52,160 –> 00:38:57,920
\nwith a conglomerate of nations
\nor cities that are going to go <\/p>\n

569
\n00:38:57,920 –> 00:39:03,040
\ntogether and fight against
\nAbraham, father of the faithful.<\/p>\n

570
\n00:39:04,560 –> 00:39:08,080
\nYou know there are patterns here
\nin Genesis on this subject, and <\/p>\n

571
\n00:39:08,080 –> 00:39:11,040
\nof course many other Bible
\nsubjects which lay a kind of <\/p>\n

572
\n00:39:11,040 –> 00:39:15,000
\nblueprint down for the rest of
\nthe Bible early on. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:18,600
\nThen in the book of Genesis, not
\nonly is Shinar pictured as a <\/p>\n

574
\n00:39:18,600 –> 00:39:22,680
\nKingdom antagonistic to God,
\nassociated with Gentile might <\/p>\n

575
\n00:39:23,000 –> 00:39:27,240
\nand ambition, but it is shown
\nvery early on to be gathering <\/p>\n

576
\n00:39:27,240 –> 00:39:31,080
\nnations around it and going
\nagainst a godly man. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:39:31,720 –> 00:39:35,040
\nVery interesting.
\nYou see, when we look at the <\/p>\n

578
\n00:39:35,040 –> 00:39:39,600
\nsubject of Babylon as it relates
\nto the beast system, we’re only <\/p>\n

579
\n00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:43,200
\nlooking at it in very general
\nterms, but it ties in some very <\/p>\n

580
\n00:39:43,200 –> 00:39:48,240
\nimportant concepts that are laid
\ndown surprisingly early in the <\/p>\n

581
\n00:39:48,240 –> 00:39:52,400
\nBible.
\nWhen we come to the Book of <\/p>\n

582
\n00:39:52,400 –> 00:39:58,920
\nRevelation, again in Revelation
\nchapter 12, in conjunction with <\/p>\n

583
\n00:39:58,920 –> 00:40:03,880
\nthe dragon, one of the beasts.
\nIt’s not surprising, therefore, <\/p>\n

584
\n00:40:03,880 –> 00:40:07,440
\nto see that in relationship to
\nthat beast, that dragon in <\/p>\n

585
\n00:40:07,440 –> 00:40:11,720
\nRevelation 12, that we’re told
\nthat it’s to do with the old <\/p>\n

586
\n00:40:11,720 –> 00:40:16,800
\nserpent.
\nThe old serpent Interesting. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:40:17,720 –> 00:40:21,560
\nIt’s in conjunction with the
\nterm Satan, which means to be an<\/p>\n

588
\n00:40:21,560 –> 00:40:25,400
\nadversary or an opponent.
\nAnd here, early on in the life <\/p>\n

589
\n00:40:25,400 –> 00:40:29,400
\nof Abraham, powers that were
\nwithin the orbit of Shinar are <\/p>\n

590
\n00:40:29,400 –> 00:40:33,560
\nproving themselves to be satanic
\nor opposing Abraham and the ways<\/p>\n

591
\n00:40:33,560 –> 00:40:36,720
\nof God and of course his
\nrelative. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:40:36,760 –> 00:40:40,760
\nLot.
\nInteresting how the Lynx bridge <\/p>\n

593
\n00:40:40,800 –> 00:40:44,120
\nback and forth from the earliest
\nbook to the last book. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:40:44,800 –> 00:40:47,240
\nAnd we’re told that this is the
\nold serpent. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:40:47,800 –> 00:40:52,080
\nIt’s an old story.
\nIt’s part of a very old plot. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:40:52,360 –> 00:40:54,680
\nIt goes right back into the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:40:55,160 –> 00:40:57,400
\nThere’s nothing new about this
\ndragon. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:40:57,480 –> 00:41:02,600
\nIn other words, the dragon is
\nassociated with an old, old <\/p>\n

599
\n00:41:02,640 –> 00:41:07,400
\nforce or source of antagonism.
\nIt’s a diabolical source. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:41:07,720 –> 00:41:10,480
\nIt’s an opposing source, and
\nit’s old. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:41:11,040 –> 00:41:15,800
\nSo when Revelation sees that or
\nsays that, it’s no surprise to <\/p>\n

602
\n00:41:15,800 –> 00:41:17,360
\nsee how it fits into the
\npattern. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:41:17,360 –> 00:41:20,720
\nWe’ve just seen very briefly
\nhere in Genesis 10 and then <\/p>\n

604
\n00:41:20,720 –> 00:41:25,680
\nagain in Genesis Chapter 14.
\nNow, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

605
\n00:41:26,040 –> 00:41:30,280
\nperhaps a certain amount of the
\nstage has been set to appreciate<\/p>\n

606
\n00:41:30,280 –> 00:41:32,560
\nthe force of what we’re now
\ngoing to look at in greater <\/p>\n

607
\n00:41:32,560 –> 00:41:38,800
\ndetail as we look at now the
\nbeasts and Babylon Daniel <\/p>\n

608
\n00:41:38,800 –> 00:41:47,440
\nChapter One.
\nWhere does Daniel find its <\/p>\n

609
\n00:41:47,480 –> 00:41:50,480
\nsetting?
\nNow? <\/p>\n

610
\n00:41:51,720 –> 00:41:56,360
\nPerhaps we have a quick answer
\nin our mind, but the term <\/p>\n

611
\n00:41:56,360 –> 00:41:59,200
\nemployee to start with in the
\nbook of Daniel is most <\/p>\n

612
\n00:41:59,200 –> 00:42:03,120
\ninteresting now to know in view
\nof what we just covered in <\/p>\n

613
\n00:42:03,120 –> 00:42:07,240
\nGenesis.
\nJust notice Daniel chapter one, <\/p>\n

614
\n00:42:09,880 –> 00:42:14,920
\nthe very first verse of the very
\nfirst chapter Babylon comes to <\/p>\n

615
\n00:42:14,920 –> 00:42:21,320
\nview in terms of where he is and
\nwhen Daniel tells us in verse <\/p>\n

616
\n00:42:21,320 –> 00:42:25,440
\none in the third year of the
\nreign of Jehoiakim king of <\/p>\n

617
\n00:42:25,440 –> 00:42:29,840
\nJudah, king Nebuchadnezzar king
\nof Babylon unto Jerusalem and <\/p>\n

618
\n00:42:29,840 –> 00:42:35,080
\nbesieged it.
\nBabylon an act of force. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:42:35,920 –> 00:42:38,720
\nBabylon antagonistic to the city
\nof God. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:42:39,680 –> 00:42:42,280
\nTwo cities brought in front of
\nour view. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:42:42,960 –> 00:42:47,360
\nBabylon and Jerusalem.
\nAnd what are the two cities that<\/p>\n

622
\n00:42:47,360 –> 00:42:49,720
\nare brought to view in the Book
\nof Revelation? <\/p>\n

623
\n00:42:50,600 –> 00:42:54,160
\nThere’s only two Jerusalem and
\nBabylon. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:42:55,000 –> 00:42:58,360
\nIt’s interesting that Daniel one
\nand verse one automatically <\/p>\n

625
\n00:42:58,360 –> 00:43:01,640
\nintroduces us to those two
\ncities in the very first <\/p>\n

626
\n00:43:01,640 –> 00:43:05,400
\nstatement of the book, and
\nRevelation develops that in <\/p>\n

627
\n00:43:05,400 –> 00:43:09,360
\ngreater detail at a latter time.
\nMore than that though, in verse <\/p>\n

628
\n00:43:09,360 –> 00:43:12,120
\ntwo, look at what Babylon is now
\nmade synonymous with. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:43:12,800 –> 00:43:16,880
\nThe Lord God gave Jehoiah King,
\nKing of Judah unto his hand with<\/p>\n

630
\n00:43:16,880 –> 00:43:20,600
\npart of the vessels of the House
\nof God, which he carried into <\/p>\n

631
\n00:43:20,720 –> 00:43:28,120
\nthe land of Shinar, that power
\nwhich had organized with itself <\/p>\n

632
\n00:43:28,120 –> 00:43:31,320
\na series of cities that
\nchallenged Abraham. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:43:32,000 –> 00:43:34,800
\nShinar, that was the first of
\nall kingdoms amongst the <\/p>\n

634
\n00:43:34,800 –> 00:43:41,520
\nGentiles tied in with Babylon.
\nYou see, then there’s a kind of <\/p>\n

635
\n00:43:41,520 –> 00:43:46,360
\ncontinuity in this whole theme.
\nThere is a continuous thread <\/p>\n

636
\n00:43:46,360 –> 00:43:51,000
\nthat runs right from Genesis 10
\nthrough Genesis 11 through <\/p>\n

637
\n00:43:51,000 –> 00:43:54,480
\nGenesis 14 with Abraham, And now
\nwe’re at the time of the <\/p>\n

638
\n00:43:54,480 –> 00:43:59,360
\ndispersion and the captivity in
\nDaniel Chapter one, And Shinar <\/p>\n

639
\n00:43:59,360 –> 00:44:02,280
\nis still there, and we’re
\nintended to see the link with <\/p>\n

640
\n00:44:02,280 –> 00:44:05,200
\nShinar and Babylon as synonymous
\nterms. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:44:05,720 –> 00:44:09,800
\nAnd we’re intended to see that
\nBabylon is antagonistic to the <\/p>\n

642
\n00:44:09,800 –> 00:44:13,680
\ncity of God, to Jerusalem.
\nVery important when we turn to <\/p>\n

643
\n00:44:13,680 –> 00:44:16,280
\nRevelation.
\nThe city of Jerusalem is there, <\/p>\n

644
\n00:44:16,280 –> 00:44:21,200
\nthe New Jerusalem, and Babylon
\nis there at the great city, and <\/p>\n

645
\n00:44:21,200 –> 00:44:23,400
\nit’s destroyed.
\nAnd Jerusalem lives on. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:44:23,960 –> 00:44:28,200
\nImportant to see how such very
\nbasic, fundamental concepts are <\/p>\n

647
\n00:44:28,200 –> 00:44:31,920
\nrooted in the Old Testament.
\nAnd Daniel’s We’ll see more and <\/p>\n

648
\n00:44:31,920 –> 00:44:34,480
\nmore provides.
\nPerhaps the clearest links. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:44:34,920 –> 00:44:45,120
\nNow turn to Zachariah Chapter 5.
\nA most curious reference, but it<\/p>\n

650
\n00:44:45,120 –> 00:44:51,920
\ncontinues to bring to our
\nattention the longevity of <\/p>\n

651
\n00:44:51,920 –> 00:44:54,520
\nBabylon, the longevity of
\nShinar. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:44:54,560 –> 00:44:57,120
\nIt isn’t destroyed, It keeps
\ngoing. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:44:58,040 –> 00:45:01,280
\nI’ll notice how this emerges in
\nZechariah Chapter 5. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:45:05,160 –> 00:45:08,760
\nFirst of all, before we look at
\nChapter 5, let’s remind <\/p>\n

655
\n00:45:08,760 –> 00:45:16,120
\nourselves where we are in time.
\nZechariah is a prophet with <\/p>\n

656
\n00:45:16,120 –> 00:45:22,080
\nHaggai that have gone back with
\nthe Jews after the Babylonian <\/p>\n

657
\n00:45:22,080 –> 00:45:25,360
\ncaptivity.
\nAfter Daniel, Daniel is now way <\/p>\n

658
\n00:45:25,360 –> 00:45:28,520
\ngone.
\nZechariah goes back with the <\/p>\n

659
\n00:45:28,600 –> 00:45:33,000
\nreturning exiles to the city of
\nJerusalem, to the land of <\/p>\n

660
\n00:45:33,000 –> 00:45:37,120
\nIsrael, and with Haggai the
\nprophet Zechariah laborers in <\/p>\n

661
\n00:45:37,120 –> 00:45:40,040
\nthe rebuilding of the Temple.
\nAnd then later on, of course, <\/p>\n

662
\n00:45:40,040 –> 00:45:41,720
\nthe walls are rebuilt under
\nEzra. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:45:41,720 –> 00:45:47,800
\nNehemiah, you know.
\nZechariah then comes at a time <\/p>\n

664
\n00:45:47,800 –> 00:45:52,680
\nwhen Babylon has been destroyed
\nby Persia, when Zechariah <\/p>\n

665
\n00:45:52,680 –> 00:45:55,720
\nprophesied.
\nThe ancient power of Babylon has<\/p>\n

666
\n00:45:55,720 –> 00:46:00,480
\nbeen destroyed by Cyrus.
\nCyrus, by the time Zechariah <\/p>\n

667
\n00:46:00,720 –> 00:46:03,440
\nprophesied, has already moved
\ninto Babylon. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:46:04,080 –> 00:46:07,520
\nHis forces have fired the city,
\ndestroyed it, and flattened it, <\/p>\n

669
\n00:46:07,800 –> 00:46:11,560
\nand Cyrus has reigned and gone.
\nBy the time Zechariah <\/p>\n

670
\n00:46:11,640 –> 00:46:14,760
\nprophecies, the Persians now are
\nruling the world. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:46:15,520 –> 00:46:18,480
\nNo longer is it the ancient city
\nor power of Babylon. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:46:19,120 –> 00:46:25,400
\nBut in Zechariah chapter 5 there
\nis a prophecy dealing in a most <\/p>\n

673
\n00:46:25,400 –> 00:46:30,280
\npeculiar way with our theme.
\nFor we read that the prophet <\/p>\n

674
\n00:46:30,280 –> 00:46:37,720
\nsees in his vision a vessel and
\nhe asks what this vessel is. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:46:37,720 –> 00:46:39,920
\nIt’s a measuring container.
\nVerse six. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:46:39,920 –> 00:46:41,800
\nWhat is it?
\nSays Zechariah? <\/p>\n

677
\n00:46:42,400 –> 00:46:46,000
\nThe Angel says this is an ephah,
\nA measuring container like a big<\/p>\n

678
\n00:46:46,000 –> 00:46:50,440
\njar that goeth forth.
\nHe say it’s moreover this is <\/p>\n

679
\n00:46:50,440 –> 00:46:53,760
\ntheir resemblance.
\nThroughout all the earth, behold<\/p>\n

680
\n00:46:53,760 –> 00:46:55,680
\nthere was lifted up a talent of
\nlead. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:46:55,680 –> 00:46:59,600
\nThat’s the lid.
\nAnd this is a woman that sitteth<\/p>\n

682
\n00:46:59,600 –> 00:47:02,960
\nin the midst of the ether, in
\nthe midst of this measuring jar.<\/p>\n

683
\n00:47:03,320 –> 00:47:05,240
\nAnd he said, pointing to the
\nwoman. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:47:05,400 –> 00:47:10,240
\nThis is wickedness, and he cast
\nit into the midst of the ether, <\/p>\n

685
\n00:47:10,760 –> 00:47:13,880
\nand he cast the weight of lead
\nupon the mouth thereof. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:47:14,680 –> 00:47:18,920
\nThen, says Zechariah, I lifted
\nup my eyes, and behold, there <\/p>\n

687
\n00:47:18,920 –> 00:47:22,280
\ncame out two women, and the wind
\nwas in their wings, for they had<\/p>\n

688
\n00:47:22,280 –> 00:47:25,120
\nwings like the wings of a stork.
\nAnd they lifted up this <\/p>\n

689
\n00:47:25,120 –> 00:47:28,120
\nmeasuring container with a woman
\nin it between the earth and the <\/p>\n

690
\n00:47:28,120 –> 00:47:30,960
\nheaven.
\nThen said I to the Angel that <\/p>\n

691
\n00:47:30,960 –> 00:47:33,680
\ntalked with me, Whither do they
\nbear the ether? <\/p>\n

692
\n00:47:34,600 –> 00:47:41,040
\nAnd he said unto me to build it
\nin house in the land of Shinar. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:47:41,920 –> 00:47:44,640
\nShinar again.
\nShinar. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:47:45,960 –> 00:47:49,280
\nThis is at the time when the
\nPersians have conquered Babylon.<\/p>\n

695
\n00:47:49,640 –> 00:47:52,280
\nPocket Babylon or Shinar still
\nbe in existence. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:47:52,640 –> 00:47:56,600
\nWhat a most incredible reference
\nhere in a prophecy that is <\/p>\n

697
\n00:47:56,600 –> 00:48:00,600
\nvirtually celebrating the demise
\nof Babylon and the rebuilding of<\/p>\n

698
\n00:48:00,600 –> 00:48:03,120
\nIsrael and Jerusalem under the
\ntwo prophets. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:48:03,960 –> 00:48:08,600
\nTo see this curious prophecy of
\na woman in a measuring container<\/p>\n

700
\n00:48:08,960 –> 00:48:12,720
\nand the Prophet is told this is
\nwickedness. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:48:13,160 –> 00:48:16,680
\nThe lid is shut on top of the
\njar, it’s picked up by two <\/p>\n

702
\n00:48:16,680 –> 00:48:21,320
\nunclean storks and it’s carried
\noff to the land of Shinar. <\/p>\n

703
\n00:48:21,560 –> 00:48:25,360
\nAnd look what it says to build
\nit in a house in the land of <\/p>\n

704
\n00:48:25,360 –> 00:48:27,400
\nShinar.
\nThis woman is going to have a <\/p>\n

705
\n00:48:27,400 –> 00:48:32,040
\nhouse in Babylon and it shall be
\nestablished and set there upon <\/p>\n

706
\n00:48:32,120 –> 00:48:36,880
\nher own base.
\nIsn’t that curious? <\/p>\n

707
\n00:48:37,960 –> 00:48:40,480
\nDo you know that’s the last
\nreference to Shinar in the Old <\/p>\n

708
\n00:48:40,480 –> 00:48:43,960
\nTestament?
\nThe very last reference to <\/p>\n

709
\n00:48:43,960 –> 00:48:49,440
\nBabylon in the Old Testament?
\nIn other words, the question of <\/p>\n

710
\n00:48:49,480 –> 00:48:55,400
\nBabylon is last mentioned in the
\nOld Testament in conjunction <\/p>\n

711
\n00:48:55,400 –> 00:49:00,640
\nwith a woman, and in conjunction
\nwith a wicked woman at that, and<\/p>\n

712
\n00:49:00,640 –> 00:49:03,920
\nin conjunction with something
\nthat can’t be the old literal <\/p>\n

713
\n00:49:03,920 –> 00:49:08,080
\npower of Babylon, as the Old
\nEmpire was, because this last <\/p>\n

714
\n00:49:08,080 –> 00:49:11,160
\nreference comes after Babylon’s
\ndemise and the time of the <\/p>\n

715
\n00:49:11,160 –> 00:49:14,320
\nPersians.
\nIsn’t that interesting? <\/p>\n

716
\n00:49:14,640 –> 00:49:16,520
\nAnd when’s the next time you
\nmeet Babylon? <\/p>\n

717
\n00:49:16,680 –> 00:49:19,920
\nMatthew chapter one, verse one,
\nincidentally, in the Lord’s <\/p>\n

718
\n00:49:19,920 –> 00:49:22,960
\ngenealogy.
\nAnd when really is the last time<\/p>\n

719
\n00:49:22,960 –> 00:49:25,000
\nthat whole picture of Babylon is
\ndeveloped? <\/p>\n

720
\n00:49:25,560 –> 00:49:27,640
\nWell, it comes in the Book of
\nRevelation, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n

721
\n00:49:28,440 –> 00:49:31,800
\nAnd when Babylon is mentioned in
\nthe Book of Revelation, it’s in <\/p>\n

722
\n00:49:31,800 –> 00:49:34,960
\nconjunction with a woman, and
\nit’s in conjunction with a <\/p>\n

723
\n00:49:34,960 –> 00:49:39,640
\nwicked woman at that.
\nAnd it’s in conjunction with a <\/p>\n

724
\n00:49:39,640 –> 00:49:42,160
\nreference to Babylon.
\nThat can’t be the old literal <\/p>\n

725
\n00:49:42,160 –> 00:49:45,120
\npower of Babylon.
\nIt must be some other <\/p>\n

726
\n00:49:45,120 –> 00:49:48,120
\nmanifestation, some other form
\nof Babylon. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:49:49,240 –> 00:49:51,600
\nYou see, brothers and sisters,
\nit’s an intriguing theme, isn’t <\/p>\n

728
\n00:49:51,600 –> 00:49:54,680
\nit?
\nThe roots go right back into the<\/p>\n

729
\n00:49:54,680 –> 00:50:00,520
\nOld Testament, and we’ll look at
\nthe prophecy of Daniel and other<\/p>\n

730
\n00:50:00,520 –> 00:50:04,760
\nprophecies that assist us in
\ndeveloping this theme in greater<\/p>\n

731

\nand third talks. <\/p>\n
