Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:00:02.60\00:00:04.57
Come on in, we're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:04.60\00:00:07.17
Good day, I'm Uncle Daniel,
00:00:42.44\00:00:44.27
and it's great
to have you join us
00:00:44.31\00:00:45.94
from wherever you are
watching around the world.
00:00:45.97\00:00:48.74
We pray you will
have a rich blessing
00:00:48.78\00:00:50.58
from opening the Sabbath with us
00:00:50.61\00:00:52.35
in the song and Bible study.
00:00:52.38\00:00:54.68
Hello, Aunt Leah, and
hello, boys and girls.
00:00:54.72\00:00:57.85
Hi, Uncle Daniel.
00:00:57.89\00:00:59.39
I like to say
hello to Stan and Kathy
00:00:59.42\00:01:01.79
who are today with the King.
00:01:01.82\00:01:03.56
They live in Durham, Pandie,
a town in South Queensland
00:01:03.59\00:01:06.86
where they grow lots of wheat.
00:01:06.90\00:01:08.83
Hello! Hi.
00:01:08.86\00:01:11.27
Tamia, would you
please say a prayer for us
00:01:11.30\00:01:14.17
to welcome the Holy Spirit?
00:01:14.20\00:01:16.40
Dear Lord, thank
You for the blessings
00:01:16.44\00:01:18.47
of the past week.
00:01:18.51\00:01:20.14
We asked for the Holy
Spirit to teach us Your truth.
00:01:20.18\00:01:23.28
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:01:23.31\00:01:25.48
Aunty Leah, what Bible
gem do we have this time?
00:01:25.51\00:01:28.35
I'll get you to
find that in a moment.
00:01:28.38\00:01:30.02
But first of all,
00:01:30.05\00:01:31.39
what did you think of
all those strange animals
00:01:31.42\00:01:33.39
in the Bible study last week?
00:01:33.42\00:01:35.36
Weird, scary.
00:01:35.39\00:01:37.76
Just as we're all
going on our treasure hunt,
00:01:37.79\00:01:39.59
so we can understand
00:01:39.63\00:01:40.96
what some of these symbols mean?
00:01:41.00\00:01:42.36
Did our clues help you to
understand Daniel's dream?
00:01:42.40\00:01:44.93
Yes.
00:01:44.97\00:01:46.53
It's becoming very
clear that Daniel was given
00:01:46.57\00:01:49.17
the same prophecy
as King Nebuchadnezzar,
00:01:49.20\00:01:52.24
but Daniel was given
additional information,
00:01:52.27\00:01:55.01
particularly more information
that relates to our time,
00:01:55.04\00:01:58.25
so that's very exciting.
00:01:58.28\00:02:00.42
Later in our Bible study,
00:02:00.45\00:02:02.02
we'll learn more
about some animals symbols.
00:02:02.05\00:02:04.99
The prophecy given in the
dream to King Nebuchadnezzar
00:02:05.02\00:02:08.16
was so important
00:02:08.19\00:02:09.76
that God repeated twice
more in dreams to Daniel.
00:02:09.79\00:02:13.76
And hundreds of years later,
God gave even more details
00:02:13.80\00:02:17.50
about the time
period of the toes
00:02:17.53\00:02:19.67
in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream
00:02:19.70\00:02:21.80
to the Apostle John, who
is one of Jesus' disciples.
00:02:21.84\00:02:25.21
But we have to study Revelation,
00:02:25.24\00:02:27.08
the prophetic
book that John wrote
00:02:27.11\00:02:29.14
to understand more prophecies
00:02:29.18\00:02:30.98
relating to our
time and the near future.
00:02:31.01\00:02:33.85
Okay, Bethany, we're
ready to open the jewel box now.
00:02:33.88\00:02:36.28
Can you please get
the gemstone out for us?
00:02:36.32\00:02:38.32
It's a pretty emerald one.
00:02:43.12\00:02:44.46
Oh, isn't it gorgeous?
00:02:44.49\00:02:45.83
What's the Bible reference?
00:02:45.86\00:02:47.56
2 Chronicles 20:20.
00:02:47.60\00:02:50.10
Caleb, would you
mind reading that for us?
00:02:50.13\00:02:52.23
Sure.
00:02:52.27\00:02:55.87
"Believe in the Lord your God,
and you shall be established,
00:02:55.90\00:02:59.57
believe His prophets,
and you shall prosper."
00:02:59.61\00:03:02.64
What a wonderful promise.
00:03:02.68\00:03:04.75
God will richly bless
our lives if we believe
00:03:04.78\00:03:07.62
and obey the
messages and warnings
00:03:07.65\00:03:09.65
He gives us
through His servants,
00:03:09.68\00:03:11.35
the prophets.
00:03:11.39\00:03:12.92
These prophecies also help
us share our faith with others.
00:03:12.95\00:03:16.59
Bethany, we're ready for
the clue in our jewel box,
00:03:16.62\00:03:18.79
can you read that?
00:03:18.83\00:03:20.16
Fulfilled prophecy show us
that the Bible is God's Word,
00:03:24.77\00:03:27.67
not just man's word.
00:03:27.70\00:03:29.24
Yes, it's like
God's unique signature.
00:03:29.27\00:03:33.11
The Bible is divine.
00:03:33.14\00:03:34.48
It speaks the truth
00:03:34.51\00:03:35.84
right from how
the world was made
00:03:35.88\00:03:37.65
down to how it's going to end.
00:03:37.68\00:03:40.38
It speaks the truth
that Jesus died for our sins,
00:03:40.42\00:03:42.88
and rose again,
00:03:42.92\00:03:44.25
and then He offers forgiveness
to us and eternal life.
00:03:44.29\00:03:48.09
And it's our privilege and duty
00:03:48.12\00:03:49.99
to share this
wonderful news with confidence.
00:03:50.03\00:03:52.79
So keep
studying these prophecies
00:03:52.83\00:03:54.73
until you understand them
00:03:54.76\00:03:56.53
and talk about
it to your friends.
00:03:56.56\00:03:58.43
It will build their
trust in the Bible too.
00:03:58.47\00:04:00.94
Thanks, Aunty Leah,
00:04:00.97\00:04:02.30
learning about
prophecy is helping me
00:04:02.34\00:04:03.67
to trust in the Bible more.
00:04:03.71\00:04:05.24
Braedan's here, do you have any
one new song to teach us with?
00:04:05.27\00:04:08.44
Hello, Braedan!
00:04:08.48\00:04:10.11
Hi, everyone.
00:04:10.15\00:04:11.48
Let's start by
singing a Sabbath song.
00:04:11.51\00:04:13.65
We're going to sing
"Don't Forget the Sabbath."
00:04:13.68\00:04:16.28
Don't forget the Sabbath
The Lord our God hath blest
00:04:22.62\00:04:27.26
Of all the week the brightest
Of all the week the best
00:04:27.30\00:04:31.90
It brings repose from
labor It tells of joy divine
00:04:31.93\00:04:36.44
Its beams of light descending
With heavenly beauty shine
00:04:36.47\00:04:41.24
Welcome, welcome, ever
welcome Blessed Sabbath day
00:04:41.28\00:04:45.91
Welcome, welcome, ever
welcome Blessed Sabbath day
00:04:45.95\00:04:51.92
Braedan, can we please
sing "The Books Are Open?"
00:04:51.95\00:04:54.12
We can.
00:04:54.16\00:04:55.49
This is a beautiful
song that talks about Jesus
00:04:55.52\00:04:57.33
as our high priest in heaven.
00:04:57.36\00:04:58.69
Let's sing it together.
00:04:58.73\00:05:00.60
Oh there were two
thousand, three hundred days
00:05:04.80\00:05:09.80
For the people to
learn of God's ways
00:05:09.84\00:05:14.71
At the end of this time
God would draw a great big line
00:05:14.74\00:05:19.85
And then He said
the judgment would begin
00:05:19.88\00:05:23.95
The books are open It
is the time of the end
00:05:23.99\00:05:29.26
But we don't have to fear
Because the Judge is our friend
00:05:29.29\00:05:33.46
The books are open
00:05:33.50\00:05:36.20
And Jesus' arms are open wide
00:05:36.23\00:05:39.87
Our God's a God of love
00:05:39.90\00:05:43.34
He's on our side
00:05:43.37\00:05:47.44
Braedan, can we sing
"With All Your Heart?"
00:05:47.48\00:05:50.45
That's another
great scripture song.
00:05:50.48\00:05:51.81
Let's sing it together.
00:05:51.85\00:05:53.18
You will seek Me and find Me
00:05:58.12\00:06:02.39
When you seek Me
with all your heart
00:06:02.42\00:06:06.59
You will seek Me and find Me
00:06:06.63\00:06:10.67
When you seek Me
with all your heart
00:06:10.70\00:06:15.00
You will seek Me and find Me
00:06:15.04\00:06:19.07
When you seek Me
with all your heart
00:06:19.11\00:06:23.65
Jeremiah 29:13
00:06:23.68\00:06:31.45
Thanks, Braedan, I like
those new songs we learnt.
00:06:31.49\00:06:34.76
We also like story time
with Dr. John, let's go.
00:06:34.79\00:06:38.93
Hello, boys and
girls, I'm Dr. John,
00:06:38.96\00:06:40.66
and I'm so glad
you're with me today.
00:06:40.70\00:06:43.26
And special hello
to the boys and girls
00:06:43.30\00:06:45.27
watching right around the world.
00:06:45.30\00:06:48.17
A little girl once, very pretty,
00:06:48.20\00:06:53.38
but she had a problem.
00:06:53.41\00:06:56.85
It was to do with anger.
00:06:56.88\00:06:59.45
And she was rather naughty,
00:06:59.48\00:07:01.58
but I have chosen
00:07:01.62\00:07:02.95
such a sweet little
assistant this morning, Alicia.
00:07:02.98\00:07:06.89
And Alicia is going to
show you that cranky face.
00:07:06.92\00:07:12.63
And whenever she
didn't get her own way,
00:07:16.36\00:07:20.07
she would do that, and
she would stamp her feet,
00:07:20.10\00:07:23.41
and she would scream,
00:07:23.44\00:07:26.14
and people were
so scared of her,
00:07:26.17\00:07:28.64
she got her own
way all the time.
00:07:28.68\00:07:31.41
And one day she was
walking down the road
00:07:31.45\00:07:35.38
with her cranky face.
00:07:35.42\00:07:37.72
And there was an old
man called William Rogers
00:07:37.75\00:07:40.59
working in the garden.
00:07:40.62\00:07:42.69
He said, "Hello, sweetie."
00:07:42.72\00:07:44.83
Well, she thought that was nice.
00:07:49.06\00:07:51.03
He told her a
story from the Bible,
00:07:51.07\00:07:53.34
had a little prayer with
her, and said, "God bless you."
00:07:53.37\00:07:57.31
And she went away
feeling a lot happier.
00:07:57.34\00:08:00.64
Well, not long after that,
00:08:00.68\00:08:04.05
she went into
her Grandpa's office.
00:08:04.08\00:08:06.82
And her grandpa was a judge.
00:08:06.85\00:08:11.02
And when she got there,
00:08:11.05\00:08:12.39
she saw Mr.
Rogers with handcuffs on,
00:08:12.42\00:08:16.99
sitting outside.
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.36
She said,
00:08:18.39\00:08:20.40
"What's the matter, Mr. Rogers?"
00:08:20.43\00:08:22.63
"I'm going to jail
00:08:22.66\00:08:24.60
because I was
preaching on the Sabbath,
00:08:24.63\00:08:27.54
and the judge
is going to send me
00:08:27.57\00:08:29.30
and my friends to jail."
00:08:29.34\00:08:33.51
"Who, the judge?
00:08:33.54\00:08:36.44
That's my Grandpa."
00:08:36.48\00:08:38.25
And she went in there,
00:08:38.28\00:08:39.65
and she hit the
door with her fist.
00:08:39.68\00:08:45.25
"Go away."
00:08:45.29\00:08:46.82
Kicked the door,
00:08:46.86\00:08:48.59
and she butted the
door with her head.
00:08:48.62\00:08:51.59
And Grandpa,
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.29
the judge, he
was sitting inside.
00:08:53.33\00:08:58.20
He was wearing the judge's wig.
00:08:58.23\00:09:02.14
Finally, he said,
"What's the matter?"
00:09:02.17\00:09:04.91
And she came in
and said, "Grandpa,
00:09:04.94\00:09:07.41
you will let Mr. Rogers go
00:09:07.44\00:09:10.61
or I will drown
myself in the lake."
00:09:10.65\00:09:15.15
Well, she has such a bad temper.
00:09:15.18\00:09:18.85
Grandpa said, "All right,
00:09:18.89\00:09:20.56
don't drown
yourself in the lake."
00:09:20.59\00:09:22.69
She went and got
outside, she said to Mr. Rogers,
00:09:22.72\00:09:26.96
"You'll be okay."
00:09:27.00\00:09:28.33
And Grandpa came
out, he put his wig on,
00:09:28.36\00:09:31.60
he want to look important.
00:09:31.63\00:09:35.24
And he said,
"Here is your sentence,"
00:09:35.27\00:09:38.81
and he tore it up.
00:09:38.84\00:09:43.61
Alicia, give me a smile.
00:09:43.65\00:09:47.68
And she went away
happy and so Mr. Rogers.
00:09:47.72\00:09:50.59
You know, she
grew up a bit cranky.
00:09:50.62\00:09:53.36
She married, her
name became Mrs. Tulie,
00:09:53.39\00:09:57.13
and she was very rich.
00:09:57.16\00:10:00.10
And she was very cranky.
00:10:00.13\00:10:03.30
And finally, she went to
the doctor, and she said,
00:10:03.33\00:10:05.80
"Doctor, I am
such an angry person."
00:10:05.83\00:10:10.57
And the doctor looks at her,
00:10:10.61\00:10:12.04
he was a Christian
doctor, and he said,
00:10:12.07\00:10:14.44
"You need to discover God."
00:10:14.48\00:10:19.08
She went home
and she had a dream
00:10:19.11\00:10:21.58
that if she went
to a certain church,
00:10:21.62\00:10:23.95
she would meet a pastor,
00:10:23.99\00:10:25.95
and he would say a text for her.
00:10:25.99\00:10:30.33
So she went to a
church called Cheapside Lane.
00:10:30.36\00:10:34.40
And when she got in there,
she saw the pastor preaching,
00:10:34.43\00:10:38.93
and she thought,
that's the pastor in my dream.
00:10:38.97\00:10:43.30
I wonder whether
he will say the text,
00:10:43.34\00:10:45.77
and he did.
00:10:45.81\00:10:47.64
"Be at rest once
more oh, my soul,
00:10:47.68\00:10:50.71
for the Lord has
been good to you."
00:10:50.75\00:10:52.55
Psalm 116.
00:10:52.58\00:10:55.02
And, you know, she
gave her life to Jesus,
00:10:55.05\00:10:59.15
and the man who was
preaching the sermon,
00:10:59.19\00:11:02.29
his name was
Timothy, Timothy Rogers,
00:11:02.32\00:11:05.99
and he told her the
story about his father
00:11:06.03\00:11:09.56
and the cranky little
girl who saved his life
00:11:09.60\00:11:12.10
and she said,
00:11:12.13\00:11:13.90
"Mr. Rogers, I
was that little girl,
00:11:13.94\00:11:18.47
and Jesus has
come into my heart."
00:11:18.51\00:11:21.04
Isn't that beautiful?
00:11:21.08\00:11:22.84
God uses little
cranky little girls.
00:11:22.88\00:11:25.15
Thank you, boys and girls.
00:11:25.18\00:11:27.75
Welcome to our Bible study time.
00:11:27.78\00:11:29.42
Open your Bibles
to Daniel Chapter 8.
00:11:29.45\00:11:31.75
We're going to learn about
00:11:31.79\00:11:33.12
the longest time
prophecy in the Bible.
00:11:33.15\00:11:35.22
But first, we must
pray for understanding.
00:11:35.26\00:11:37.63
Jeremiah, would you
please do that for us?
00:11:37.66\00:11:42.06
Dear, God, thank You
for fulfilled prophecies
00:11:42.10\00:11:45.00
that build Your trust in You.
00:11:45.03\00:11:47.20
Please help us and
the children at home
00:11:47.24\00:11:49.64
to understand what we read.
00:11:49.67\00:11:51.07
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:11:51.11\00:11:52.67
Amen. Amen.
00:11:52.71\00:11:54.08
Thank you, Jeremiah.
00:11:54.11\00:11:55.48
Bryce, do you remember
00:11:55.51\00:11:57.55
what we learned about last week?
00:11:57.58\00:11:59.48
We learned that
Daniel had a dream
00:11:59.51\00:12:01.18
about four animals.
00:12:01.22\00:12:02.55
Yes, those four animals
represented four kingdoms.
00:12:02.58\00:12:06.55
And what did we
learn about those kingdoms?
00:12:06.59\00:12:08.89
They were the same four kingdoms
00:12:08.92\00:12:10.49
from Nebuchadnezzar's dream.
00:12:10.53\00:12:12.06
Yes, today we'll
learn about another vision
00:12:12.09\00:12:15.36
that Daniel had just
before the fall of Babylon.
00:12:15.40\00:12:18.87
And to make it
easier for us to understand,
00:12:18.90\00:12:21.60
God send His
chief angel, Gabriel,
00:12:21.64\00:12:23.91
to explain the vision to Daniel.
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.24
As we'll see,
00:12:26.27\00:12:27.61
this vision parallels
parts of previous visions.
00:12:27.64\00:12:30.78
This prophetic vision starts
with the Medo-Persian kingdom
00:12:30.81\00:12:34.08
because Babylon is
about to be conquered
00:12:34.12\00:12:36.55
and passed into history.
00:12:36.58\00:12:38.45
Aunty Leah,
00:12:38.49\00:12:39.82
could you please point to
Medo-Persia on the statue.
00:12:39.85\00:12:42.49
Let's start by
reading Daniel 8:3, 4.
00:12:45.93\00:12:50.13
Thanks, Jireh.
00:12:50.17\00:12:51.50
"Then I lifted up
my eyes and saw there
00:12:51.53\00:12:53.57
standing beside the river
was a ram which had two horns,
00:12:53.60\00:12:57.17
and the two horns were high,
00:12:57.21\00:12:58.74
but one was
higher than the other,
00:12:58.77\00:13:00.71
and the higher
one came up last."
00:13:00.74\00:13:02.71
Thank you.
00:13:02.74\00:13:04.08
Caleb, could you
please read verse 4?
00:13:04.11\00:13:06.72
"I saw the ram
00:13:06.75\00:13:08.38
pushing westward,
northward, and southward,
00:13:08.42\00:13:11.15
so that no animal
could withstand him,
00:13:11.19\00:13:14.16
nor was there any
00:13:14.19\00:13:15.52
that could
deliver from his hand,
00:13:15.56\00:13:18.16
but he did according to his will
00:13:18.19\00:13:19.96
and became great."
00:13:20.00\00:13:21.73
We don't have to guess
00:13:21.76\00:13:23.43
which kingdom
this animal represents
00:13:23.47\00:13:25.93
because the Angel
Gabriel tells us in verse 20,
00:13:25.97\00:13:29.54
that the ram represents
the kings of Medes and Persia.
00:13:29.57\00:13:33.41
Then Daniel saw
another animal in his vision.
00:13:33.44\00:13:36.85
Bryce, could you
please read verse 5?
00:13:36.88\00:13:42.12
"And as I was considering,
00:13:42.15\00:13:43.69
suddenly a male
goat came from the west,
00:13:43.72\00:13:46.02
across the surface
of the whole earth,
00:13:46.05\00:13:48.09
without touching the ground,
00:13:48.12\00:13:49.46
and the goat had a
notable horn between his eyes."
00:13:49.49\00:13:52.69
And, Chemiah, could
you please read verse 6?
00:13:52.73\00:13:55.96
"Then he came to the ram...
00:13:56.00\00:13:59.67
"Then he came to the
ram that had two horns,
00:13:59.70\00:14:02.37
which I had seen
standing beside the river,
00:14:02.40\00:14:05.57
and ran at him
with furious power."
00:14:05.61\00:14:08.81
And, Jeremiah, verse 7?
00:14:08.84\00:14:11.71
"And I saw him
confronting the ram,
00:14:11.75\00:14:13.68
he was moved
with rage against him,
00:14:13.72\00:14:16.52
attacked the ram,
and broke his two horns.
00:14:16.55\00:14:18.85
There was no power in
the ram to withstand him,
00:14:18.89\00:14:21.89
but he cast him
down to the ground
00:14:21.92\00:14:23.83
and trampled him,
00:14:23.86\00:14:25.53
and there was no one
that could deliver the ram
00:14:25.56\00:14:27.96
from his hand."
00:14:28.00\00:14:29.36
And, Sai, verse 8?
00:14:29.40\00:14:31.20
"Therefore the male
goat grew very great,
00:14:31.23\00:14:34.40
but when he became strong,
the large horn was broken,
00:14:34.44\00:14:38.47
and in place of it
four notable ones came up
00:14:38.51\00:14:42.91
toward the four
winds of heaven."
00:14:42.94\00:14:45.38
Aunty Leah, would
you please read verse 21
00:14:45.41\00:14:48.05
where Angel Gabriel explains
who the male goat represents?
00:14:48.08\00:14:51.69
Sure.
00:14:51.72\00:14:53.05
"And the male goat is
the kingdom of Greece.
00:14:53.09\00:14:55.59
The large horn
that is between his eyes
00:14:55.62\00:14:57.83
is the first king."
00:14:57.86\00:14:59.73
Now, Jireh, could
you please read verse 22?
00:14:59.76\00:15:04.43
"As for the broken horn
00:15:04.47\00:15:05.83
and the four that
stood up in its place,
00:15:05.87\00:15:08.77
four kingdoms shall
arise out of that nation,
00:15:08.80\00:15:11.47
but not with its power."
00:15:11.51\00:15:13.44
We know from history
00:15:13.48\00:15:14.81
that Alexander the
Great was the first king,
00:15:14.84\00:15:17.28
the greatest king
on earth at that time.
00:15:17.31\00:15:21.02
He died suddenly when
he was only 33 years old,
00:15:21.05\00:15:24.39
and his four generals
00:15:24.42\00:15:25.75
divided the
kingdom amongst themselves,
00:15:25.79\00:15:28.32
but none of them ever achieved
00:15:28.36\00:15:30.03
the greatness of King Alexander.
00:15:30.06\00:15:32.63
Now, look at our chart.
00:15:32.66\00:15:34.70
What kingdom ruled
the world after Greece?
00:15:34.73\00:15:38.33
Rome.
00:15:38.37\00:15:40.00
Yes, Rome was very
powerful and cruel.
00:15:40.04\00:15:43.51
In verse 9, we learn more
about the little horn power
00:15:43.54\00:15:46.37
we learned about last week.
00:15:46.41\00:15:48.18
It started off little, but
grew and became very great.
00:15:48.21\00:15:51.95
Verse 10 tells us, it
grew so big and powerful
00:15:51.98\00:15:55.15
that it grew up to
the host of heaven.
00:15:55.18\00:15:57.75
This little horn power is
more than a political power.
00:15:57.79\00:16:00.96
It also tries to make
itself equal with God.
00:16:00.99\00:16:04.13
It tries to stand in the
place of the prince of the host,
00:16:04.16\00:16:07.93
which is another name for Jesus.
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.27
Caleb, could you
please read verse 11?
00:16:10.30\00:16:13.67
"He even exalted himself
00:16:17.54\00:16:19.21
as high as the
Prince of the host,
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.94
and by him the daily
sacrifices were taken away,
00:16:21.98\00:16:25.28
and the place of His
sanctuary was cast down."
00:16:25.31\00:16:28.65
Thank you.
00:16:28.68\00:16:30.02
Bryce, could you
please read verse 12?
00:16:30.05\00:16:32.29
"Because of transgression,
00:16:32.32\00:16:33.89
an army was
given over to the horn
00:16:33.92\00:16:36.49
to oppose the daily sacrifices,
00:16:36.52\00:16:40.53
and he cast truth
down to the ground.
00:16:40.56\00:16:42.56
He did all this and prospered."
00:16:42.60\00:16:45.23
This is sanctuary language,
00:16:45.27\00:16:47.20
so let's review what we
know about the sanctuary.
00:16:47.24\00:16:50.01
That will help us to understand
00:16:50.04\00:16:51.67
what this little horn power
is doing that is so wicked.
00:16:51.71\00:16:55.21
The sanctuary on earth
00:16:55.24\00:16:56.58
was a copy of the
sanctuary in heaven.
00:16:56.61\00:16:58.91
The sanctuary services
pointed to the work of Jesus
00:16:58.95\00:17:02.48
on our behalf.
00:17:02.52\00:17:04.85
Remember, Jesus is the
only one who can forgive sins.
00:17:04.89\00:17:09.06
Verse 12 tells us
this little horn power
00:17:09.09\00:17:11.73
tries to trample down
00:17:11.76\00:17:13.16
and take over Jesus'
role in our salvation.
00:17:13.19\00:17:16.56
This little horn power sets
up a false system of worship
00:17:16.60\00:17:20.04
and claims to be
able to forgive sins.
00:17:20.07\00:17:22.67
If any human being or
religious organization
00:17:22.70\00:17:25.44
claims to be
able to forgive sins,
00:17:25.47\00:17:28.04
we know from the
Bible that they are false
00:17:28.08\00:17:31.08
because 1 Timothy 2:5 says
00:17:31.11\00:17:33.78
that only Jesus
can forgive our sins.
00:17:33.82\00:17:37.65
Let's all read this
together as our memory verse.
00:17:37.69\00:17:40.92
Are we ready?
00:17:44.49\00:17:46.49
All right.
00:17:46.53\00:17:47.86
"For there is one God
00:17:47.90\00:17:49.93
and one Mediator
between God and men,
00:17:49.96\00:17:53.47
the Man Christ Jesus."
00:17:53.50\00:17:56.10
Now, during this vision,
00:17:56.14\00:17:58.64
Daniel hears two angels talking,
00:17:58.67\00:18:01.64
one asks the other,
00:18:01.68\00:18:03.35
"How long this
wicked little horn power
00:18:03.38\00:18:05.31
is going to crush
out the truth about Jesus
00:18:05.35\00:18:08.12
as our only sin
pardoning savior.
00:18:08.15\00:18:11.02
What is the other
angel's response in verse 14?
00:18:11.05\00:18:14.59
Thanks, Chemiah.
00:18:14.62\00:18:17.36
"And he said to me,
00:18:17.39\00:18:18.79
for two thousand
three hundred days,
00:18:18.83\00:18:21.96
then the sanctuary
shall be cleansed."
00:18:22.00\00:18:25.10
Two thousand three
hundred prophetic days
00:18:25.13\00:18:28.70
represents how
many literal years?
00:18:28.74\00:18:31.94
Two thousand
three hundred years?
00:18:31.97\00:18:35.08
Yes.
00:18:35.11\00:18:36.44
And on what day was
the earthly sanctuary
00:18:36.48\00:18:38.58
cleansed of all the
sins that have been confessed
00:18:38.61\00:18:40.62
during the year?
00:18:40.65\00:18:41.98
The Day of Judgment.
00:18:42.02\00:18:43.59
That's right.
00:18:43.62\00:18:44.95
That was the Day of Judgment.
00:18:44.99\00:18:46.92
So after 2,300 years,
00:18:46.96\00:18:49.39
the judgment in
heaven was to begin.
00:18:49.42\00:18:52.23
The Day of Atonement
00:18:52.26\00:18:53.60
was the final
opportunity for the people
00:18:53.63\00:18:55.66
to seek
forgiveness for their sins.
00:18:55.70\00:18:58.27
Daniel felt
overwhelmed by the prophecy
00:18:58.30\00:19:00.64
and fainted before
Gabriel had a chance to explain
00:19:00.67\00:19:03.84
all of the vision to him.
00:19:03.87\00:19:05.84
But, our torchlight,
00:19:05.87\00:19:07.21
Mrs. White's
writings in the book,
00:19:07.24\00:19:09.31
Royalty and Ruin, page 193,
00:19:09.34\00:19:12.15
"Shines encouraging
light on our ability
00:19:12.18\00:19:14.68
to understand the
prophecies of Daniel,
00:19:14.72\00:19:17.05
especially as we read them
00:19:17.09\00:19:19.22
alongside the
Book of Revelation."
00:19:19.25\00:19:21.56
Jeremiah, can you
please read that for us?
00:19:21.59\00:19:26.90
"The prophecies of Daniel
demand our special attention,
00:19:26.93\00:19:30.47
because they relate to the
time in which we are living.
00:19:30.50\00:19:34.40
We should read them
00:19:34.44\00:19:35.77
along with the last
book of the New Testament.
00:19:35.80\00:19:38.31
The promise is plain
00:19:38.34\00:19:40.08
that special
blessing will accompany
00:19:40.11\00:19:42.38
the study of these prophecies.
00:19:42.41\00:19:44.08
'The wise shall understand.'"
00:19:44.11\00:19:46.75
Fortunately, Gabriel
returned at a later time
00:19:46.78\00:19:49.75
and gave more details to Daniel
00:19:49.78\00:19:51.89
about the start date
of the 2,300 year period.
00:19:51.92\00:19:56.83
We'll discover next week
00:19:56.86\00:19:58.19
that we are living in
the final Day of Atonement
00:19:58.23\00:20:01.33
or judgment
period in world history.
00:20:01.36\00:20:04.47
So now is the time to
confess and forsake all our sins
00:20:04.50\00:20:08.64
and faithfully
follow Jesus day by day.
00:20:08.67\00:20:11.87
Jesus is now in
the most holy place
00:20:11.91\00:20:14.38
in the heavenly sanctuary,
00:20:14.41\00:20:15.88
judging His professed people.
00:20:15.91\00:20:17.98
One of the last
warning messages to us
00:20:18.01\00:20:20.22
in Revelation 14:7 says,
00:20:20.25\00:20:23.05
"We should honor, respect,
00:20:23.08\00:20:25.09
and worship the Creator God
00:20:25.12\00:20:27.39
for the hour of
His judgment has come."
00:20:27.42\00:20:30.13
To study more about this,
00:20:30.16\00:20:31.79

Thanks Matthew and Caleigh.
00:20:58.09\00:20:59.55
Uncle Daniel, what are we going
to be learning about next week?
00:20:59.59\00:21:02.46
Well, next week,
00:21:02.49\00:21:03.83
we are going to
discover a glorious prophecy,
00:21:03.86\00:21:06.16
one that proves
Jesus of Nazareth
00:21:06.19\00:21:08.00
is who He claimed to be,
00:21:08.03\00:21:09.40
the divine Son of God who
died for us and rose again.
00:21:09.43\00:21:13.54
And it's just as certain
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.10
that He will come
back to take us home
00:21:15.14\00:21:17.77
to be with Him in heaven.
00:21:17.81\00:21:19.77
I can't wait for that day.
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.41
Is it time to
say our memory verse?
00:21:21.44\00:21:23.51
Yes, it is.
00:21:23.55\00:21:24.88
Ready, everyone?
00:21:24.91\00:21:26.25
"For there is one
God and one Mediator
00:21:26.28\00:21:29.98
between God and men,
00:21:30.02\00:21:32.25
the Man Christ Jesus."
00:21:32.29\00:21:34.82
1 Timothy 2:5.
00:21:34.86\00:21:38.09
Isn't it wonderful
00:21:38.13\00:21:39.46
that Jesus
Himself bridge the gap
00:21:39.49\00:21:41.53
so our sins can be
forgiven directly through Jesus?
00:21:41.56\00:21:45.33
Bethany, what did you
learn about the King today?
00:21:45.37\00:21:48.04
That Jesus has given us
prophecies about our time?
00:21:48.07\00:21:51.07
Isn't that so exciting?
00:21:51.11\00:21:53.34
It just shows
00:21:53.38\00:21:54.71
how much Jesus is
interested in you and me.
00:21:54.74\00:21:57.81
He wants us to know
00:21:57.85\00:21:59.18
that He is there
for us even today.
00:21:59.21\00:22:01.85
Uncle Daniel, is it time
to sing our blessing song?
00:22:01.88\00:22:06.15
Yes, it is.
00:22:06.19\00:22:07.52
Time sure flies, doesn't it?
00:22:07.56\00:22:10.03
Would you like to
sing along with us?
00:22:10.06\00:22:12.46
Ready, everyone?
00:22:12.49\00:22:13.83
May God bless you and keep you
00:22:18.03\00:22:23.24
And fill your heart with love
00:22:23.27\00:22:28.31
May God guide and protect you
00:22:28.34\00:22:33.48
And watch you from above
00:22:33.52\00:22:38.65
And Sabbath after Sabbath
00:22:38.69\00:22:43.83
We greet the day of rest
00:22:43.86\00:22:48.86
The day the king of glory
00:22:48.90\00:22:54.04
Has sanctified and blessed
00:22:54.07\00:22:59.27
Goodbye my friend
till we meet again
00:22:59.31\00:23:04.38
For another day with the King
00:23:04.41\00:23:09.12
Goodbye!
00:23:09.15\00:23:10.49
Happy Sabbath!
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.95
I know Jesus loves me
because He's blessed me
00:23:20.86\00:23:23.06
with amazing family and friends.
00:23:23.10\00:23:24.90
I know Jesus loves me
because He keeps me safe
00:23:29.84\00:23:32.34
from day to day.
00:23:32.37\00:23:33.78
I know Jesus loves me
because He gave me animals.
