Today, we are gonna be learning
about Nebuchadnezzar's dream,
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.67
and how God used
Daniel to witness to the king.
00:00:05.70\00:00:08.27
Isn't that right, Julie?
00:00:08.30\00:00:10.61
Julie. Julie.
00:00:10.64\00:00:14.48
Whoa! Where I am I?
00:00:14.51\00:00:17.15
Welcome to your dream.
00:00:17.18\00:00:19.31
I'll be your tour guide today.
00:00:19.35\00:00:21.05
Right here we
have the dream board.
00:00:21.08\00:00:23.12
Press any button
and it will transport us
00:00:23.15\00:00:25.29
to a different
place in your mind.
00:00:25.32\00:00:27.16
Can I try it?
00:00:27.19\00:00:28.52
Yeah, press a button.
00:00:28.56\00:00:31.19
Good.
00:00:31.23\00:00:32.56
Oh, that's a strange statue.
00:00:32.59\00:00:35.76
Yeah, a man from the Bible
00:00:35.80\00:00:37.37
had a strange
statue in his dream once.
00:00:37.40\00:00:39.60
His name was
King Nebuchadnezzar.
00:00:39.63\00:00:41.77
Wow, it looks so real.
00:00:41.80\00:00:44.44
I could almost...
00:00:44.47\00:00:45.81
Help me, get me out of here.
00:00:51.15\00:00:55.02
Oh, that was not a statue.
00:00:55.05\00:00:58.19
I could have told you that.
00:00:58.22\00:00:59.62
Let's try another place.
00:00:59.65\00:01:00.99
May I have the greatest pleasure
00:01:04.56\00:01:06.29
of introducing you
to the King of Babylon?
00:01:06.33\00:01:11.57
Your majesty.
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.24
Uh-huh, not again.
00:01:14.27\00:01:19.17
Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie.
00:01:19.21\00:01:23.35
Julie, wake up.
00:01:23.38\00:01:25.58
They're about to
start Bible Gems.
00:01:25.61\00:01:27.78
Thank you all for
tuning in, have fun.
00:01:27.82\00:01:30.29
This is so
awesome, I just love it,
00:01:54.51\00:01:56.64
I'm so excited about
it, I can hardly wait.
00:01:56.68\00:02:00.62
Auntie Linda, Auntie Linda,
look, we found the new gem.
00:02:00.65\00:02:04.89
Oh!
00:02:04.92\00:02:06.25
They are beautiful,
but it's not the real gem,
00:02:06.29\00:02:08.76
this is the real gem.
00:02:08.79\00:02:10.43
Hi, boys and girls.
00:02:10.46\00:02:12.33
Welcome to Bible Gems!
00:02:12.36\00:02:15.16
We are so glad, you are here.
00:02:15.20\00:02:16.87
And we have a special gem today.
00:02:16.90\00:02:19.83
Miss Jody,
00:02:19.87\00:02:21.70
do you think you
could sing about that?
00:02:21.74\00:02:25.67
Yes. All right.
00:02:25.71\00:02:27.04
I think so.
00:02:27.08\00:02:29.24
Whether you eat or drink
00:02:29.28\00:02:33.05
Or whatever ye do,
00:02:33.08\00:02:37.39
Do all to the glory of God.
00:02:37.42\00:02:42.92
Whether you eat or drink
00:02:45.99\00:02:49.66
Or whatever ye do,
00:02:49.70\00:02:53.94
Do all to the glory of God,
00:02:53.97\00:02:59.61
1 Corinthians 10:31.
00:03:02.64\00:03:09.08
Awesome.
00:03:09.12\00:03:10.45
Uncle Aaron, do you think,
you could also tell about that?
00:03:10.49\00:03:14.86
Yes, I've got a Bible gem
story just for you guys today.
00:03:14.89\00:03:19.86
Awesome.
00:03:19.89\00:03:22.23
The story I'm telling today
begins with a nation of Israel.
00:03:22.26\00:03:27.54
And they continued to
rebel against God to the point,
00:03:27.57\00:03:31.47
where God had to let them go
00:03:31.51\00:03:33.71
and God brought another
nation, the nation of Babylon.
00:03:33.74\00:03:39.18
And they came in and
they destroyed Jerusalem
00:03:39.21\00:03:42.48
and they took with them
00:03:42.52\00:03:44.02
many of the
young princes and boys.
00:03:44.05\00:03:47.36
How would you feel,
00:03:47.39\00:03:48.72
if you were taken
away from home as a slave?
00:03:48.76\00:03:52.03
How would you
boys and girls feel?
00:03:52.06\00:03:53.70
Would you feel good or bad?
00:03:53.73\00:03:55.70
Bad! Bad.
00:03:55.73\00:03:57.47
Daniel was felt
bad and he was sad.
00:03:57.50\00:04:00.50
But he still had some friends
that came along with him.
00:04:00.54\00:04:03.91
Daniel's friends were
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
00:04:03.94\00:04:09.14
And once they got to Babylon,
00:04:09.18\00:04:11.25
there the king, the king's name.
00:04:11.28\00:04:13.48
What was the king's name?
00:04:13.52\00:04:14.85
Who knows the
king of Babylon's name?
00:04:14.88\00:04:16.42
Nebuchadnezzar.
00:04:16.45\00:04:17.79
That's right, Nebuchadnezzar.
00:04:17.82\00:04:19.15
You guys wanna
say that together.
00:04:19.19\00:04:20.66
Nebuchadnezzar!
00:04:20.69\00:04:22.86
Wow, that's along one, isn't it?
00:04:22.89\00:04:24.83
Well, King
Nebuchadnezzar was there
00:04:24.86\00:04:26.86
and he had a plan to
change all of their names,
00:04:26.90\00:04:31.13
so they changed
Daniel's name to Belteshazzar
00:04:31.17\00:04:34.50
and the other three, too.
00:04:34.54\00:04:36.14
Who knows the
three Babylonian names?
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.34
Right here.
00:04:38.37\00:04:39.97
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
00:04:40.01\00:04:42.04
That's right,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
00:04:42.08\00:04:45.48
What they try to do
00:04:45.51\00:04:46.92
was to change their names
and change their identities,
00:04:46.95\00:04:50.35
so that they
would forget their God,
00:04:50.39\00:04:52.62
they would forget
their homeland of Jerusalem
00:04:52.65\00:04:54.99
where they came from.
00:04:55.02\00:04:56.76
But during that
time they were served,
00:04:56.79\00:04:59.09
they were asked
to eat certain foods
00:04:59.13\00:05:01.36
and certain drinks that
they knew weren't right.
00:05:01.40\00:05:05.17
They knew that
drinking wine was bad.
00:05:05.20\00:05:07.87
And so Daniel and his
friends decide to stand up
00:05:07.90\00:05:10.97
for what was right and
say no, we are not gonna eat
00:05:11.01\00:05:14.44
the king's
delicacies or the wine.
00:05:14.48\00:05:17.78
Well, do you think
00:05:17.81\00:05:19.45
that the Babylonians
thought that, that was okay?
00:05:19.48\00:05:22.72
No. No!
00:05:22.75\00:05:24.09
They said you need to eat this,
or else you guys will look weak
00:05:24.12\00:05:28.29
and it just won't be good.
00:05:28.32\00:05:29.99
But they said no,
test us for 10 days,
00:05:30.03\00:05:33.16
give us
vegetables and water and...
00:05:33.19\00:05:36.50
We know that we will
be okay if we do that.
00:05:36.53\00:05:39.77
And so they
agreed and for 10 days
00:05:39.80\00:05:42.27
they ate vegetables and water.
00:05:42.30\00:05:45.07
And guess what
happened after those 10 days?
00:05:45.11\00:05:46.98
They looked healthy.
00:05:47.01\00:05:48.74
And they said okay,
00:05:48.78\00:05:50.11
we'll let you for the remainder
of the time about three years,
00:05:50.15\00:05:53.05
go by eating
fruits and vegetables.
00:05:53.08\00:05:55.18
And after three years go by,
00:05:55.22\00:05:57.99
the King Nebuchadnezzar came
and he evaluated, he tested,
00:05:58.02\00:06:02.76
he looked at
all of the wise men,
00:06:02.79\00:06:05.26
all of the Hebrew boys,
00:06:05.29\00:06:08.16
to see who really was the wisest
00:06:08.20\00:06:11.73
and the most knowledgeable.
00:06:11.77\00:06:13.30
And guess what?
00:06:13.34\00:06:14.67
Four boys were the smartest
and the wisest of them all.
00:06:14.70\00:06:19.14
Yeah.
00:06:19.17\00:06:20.51
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
00:06:23.41\00:06:26.05
Yes, and Daniel.
00:06:26.08\00:06:27.88
That's right,
the four Hebrew boys
00:06:27.92\00:06:29.95
who chose to
purpose in their heart,
00:06:29.98\00:06:32.42
to be faithful to God.
00:06:32.45\00:06:34.89
Now, they were shown to
be so much wiser than all
00:06:34.92\00:06:38.69
and they were given
knowledge and wisdom.
00:06:38.73\00:06:41.23
And Daniel was
given a special gift
00:06:41.26\00:06:43.50
of understanding
dreams and visions.
00:06:43.53\00:06:47.60
In fact, one night
00:06:47.64\00:06:49.74
King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream.
00:06:49.77\00:06:51.97
Oh!
00:06:56.54\00:07:00.68
That was a terrible dream.
00:07:00.72\00:07:03.72
I can't remember what it was.
00:07:03.75\00:07:07.56
The king had the
dream and like he said
00:07:07.59\00:07:10.43
he couldn't
remember what it was.
00:07:10.46\00:07:12.09
So he decided to
call his wise men
00:07:12.13\00:07:14.30
and magicians together,
00:07:14.33\00:07:15.86
so that they could
help understand the dream.
00:07:15.90\00:07:19.27
Guard,
00:07:19.30\00:07:20.64
go get my magicians and wise men
00:07:20.67\00:07:22.50
and bring them here at once.
00:07:22.54\00:07:23.87
And so the
magicians and the wise men
00:07:28.04\00:07:31.18
were brought and they
came all before the king.
00:07:31.21\00:07:35.48
All of them came
00:07:35.52\00:07:38.69
and they bowed low to the king.
00:07:38.72\00:07:40.92
Arise.
00:07:40.96\00:07:44.56
I have been
troubled in the night seasons
00:07:44.59\00:07:46.70
with a terrible dream.
00:07:46.73\00:07:48.66
But I cannot remember the
dream or what the dream means.
00:07:48.70\00:07:53.50
Tell me what I dreamt and
give me the interpretation?
00:07:53.54\00:07:58.34
Do we have the
answer for such a question?
00:07:58.37\00:08:00.44
No, no.
00:08:00.48\00:08:03.14
Your Majesty,
00:08:03.18\00:08:05.18
no king has ever
made such a request.
00:08:05.21\00:08:08.08
Tell us your dream
and we will make up...
00:08:08.12\00:08:10.12
I mean we will tell
you the interpretation.
00:08:10.15\00:08:13.56
You are the Chaldeans,
00:08:13.59\00:08:15.56
you claim to interpret
dreams and know the future,
00:08:15.59\00:08:19.03
but you are not
able to answer my dream.
00:08:19.06\00:08:22.43
If you cannot give me my
dream and its interpretation,
00:08:22.46\00:08:26.77
you will be killed
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.24
and your houses will be leveled.
00:08:28.27\00:08:30.21
Guard, take them away,
00:08:30.24\00:08:31.97
begin the
process of destruction.
00:08:32.01\00:08:34.34
So, then the decree
went out and the wise men
00:08:34.38\00:08:37.21
were beginning
to get apprehended.
00:08:37.25\00:08:39.01
But then they found Daniel
and Daniel came before the king
00:08:39.05\00:08:42.88
and said to him, "King,
please, give us more time."
00:08:42.92\00:08:46.99
And the king agreed to
give some time to Daniel
00:08:47.02\00:08:50.23
and his three companions,
00:08:50.26\00:08:51.96
that they might
pray and ask their God
00:08:51.99\00:08:55.06
to give them skill
and wisdom to understand.
00:08:55.10\00:08:58.63
So Daniel came
together with his friends
00:08:58.67\00:09:01.37
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah
00:09:01.40\00:09:03.87
and they pray to
the God of heavens
00:09:03.91\00:09:06.74
and they asked him
to give them wisdom
00:09:06.78\00:09:09.24
and to reveal the dream.
00:09:09.28\00:09:11.01
And what happened,
00:09:11.05\00:09:12.38
did God reveal the dream
to Daniel and his friends?
00:09:12.41\00:09:15.62
Yes!
00:09:15.65\00:09:16.99
Yes, God came through just...
00:09:17.02\00:09:20.36
Just like you and me.
00:09:20.39\00:09:21.72
Today, if we pray for
God to answer our prayers,
00:09:21.76\00:09:25.13
He always answers them.
00:09:25.16\00:09:27.66
So Daniel prayed this prayer
00:09:27.70\00:09:29.26
and with boldness
came back to the king.
00:09:29.30\00:09:32.30
And as he approached the king,
00:09:32.33\00:09:34.34
the king said,
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.47
"Daniel can you tell me,
00:09:36.50\00:09:37.84
the dream and
its interpretation?"
00:09:37.87\00:09:40.88
O king, no mere man
can tell you the dream
00:09:40.91\00:09:44.11
or the interpretation.
00:09:44.15\00:09:45.48
What?
00:09:45.51\00:09:46.85
But king, there
is a God in heaven,
00:09:46.88\00:09:49.52
who knows the dream
and He has revealed to me
00:09:49.55\00:09:52.75
the dream and
its interpretation.
00:09:52.79\00:09:55.22
So with the help of God,
00:09:55.26\00:09:56.59
I will now
reveal to you the dream
00:09:56.62\00:09:58.89
and its interpretation.
00:09:58.93\00:10:00.26
Say on.
00:10:00.30\00:10:01.63
Well, O king,
00:10:01.66\00:10:03.06
you saw in your
dream a great image
00:10:03.10\00:10:07.00
and this image, his
splendor was awesome.
00:10:07.04\00:10:10.57
That's right. Ah!
00:10:10.61\00:10:12.41
It had a head made of gold.
00:10:12.44\00:10:14.74
Yes.
00:10:14.78\00:10:16.11
And a chest of silver.
00:10:16.14\00:10:17.81
That's right.
00:10:17.85\00:10:19.18
And its belly and
thighs were made of bronze.
00:10:19.21\00:10:22.18
Yes.
00:10:22.22\00:10:23.55
And its legs, oh, its legs
were long and made out of iron.
00:10:23.59\00:10:29.06
That's exactly it.
00:10:29.09\00:10:30.59
And as it went down
to the feet and the toes,
00:10:30.63\00:10:33.06
it was a mixture of
the iron and with clay.
00:10:33.09\00:10:36.93
And then you saw O
king, an amazing thing,
00:10:36.97\00:10:40.14
you saw a stone that
was cut out without hands
00:10:40.17\00:10:43.71
from a far away
mountain and that stone came
00:10:43.74\00:10:46.78
and it came all the way down
00:10:46.81\00:10:48.28
and it struck the
image on the feet.
00:10:48.31\00:10:51.51
And then the whole
statue was destroyed.
00:10:51.55\00:10:56.38
This, O king, is the dream.
00:10:56.42\00:10:58.65
Now the God of heaven
00:10:58.69\00:11:00.92
will reveal to you
the interpretation.
00:11:00.96\00:11:03.59
Are you ready, O king,
for the interpretation?
00:11:03.63\00:11:05.56
Say on.
00:11:05.59\00:11:07.06
The interpretation is
that each part of metal
00:11:07.10\00:11:11.43
represents a kingdom
00:11:11.47\00:11:13.37
and you, O king,
are this head of gold.
00:11:13.40\00:11:18.11
Of course.
00:11:18.14\00:11:19.97
But after you,
unfortunately, king,
00:11:20.01\00:11:24.75
there will come another kingdom,
00:11:24.78\00:11:27.02
a kingdom inferior to
yours, made out of silver.
00:11:27.05\00:11:31.72
And then a third
kingdom of bronze
00:11:31.75\00:11:34.86
which will
conquer the whole world.
00:11:34.89\00:11:37.19
Then a fourth
kingdom of iron will come,
00:11:37.23\00:11:40.96
but after that fourth kingdom,
00:11:41.00\00:11:42.90
no one will defeat
it, it will be divided.
00:11:42.93\00:11:46.84
And after its divisions,
00:11:46.87\00:11:48.50
O king, that's
where the great stone
00:11:48.54\00:11:52.34
which is God's kingdom will come
00:11:52.37\00:11:54.94
and destroy all the
kingdoms of this earth,
00:11:54.98\00:11:59.41
for God is the great King,
00:11:59.45\00:12:01.62
He sets up kings and
He does away with kings.
00:12:01.65\00:12:04.95
God is the one who's
truly in charge of the world.
00:12:04.99\00:12:08.82
Wow!
00:12:08.86\00:12:10.29
Do you boys and girls believe
00:12:10.33\00:12:11.66
that God's in
charge of everything?
00:12:11.69\00:12:13.43
Yes!
00:12:13.46\00:12:15.63
O, great king, this is the dream
00:12:15.66\00:12:18.13
and its interpretation is sure.
00:12:18.17\00:12:20.74
Daniel, you have
given me the dream
00:12:20.77\00:12:25.91
and its interpretation,
00:12:25.94\00:12:28.48
there is no other God
but the God of heaven.
00:12:28.51\00:12:31.85
I acknowledge and
worship the God of heaven.
00:12:31.88\00:12:37.49
And that's when Nebuchadnezzar
00:12:37.52\00:12:39.55
first began to
get grasp of the truth
00:12:39.59\00:12:42.86
of the power of
Yahweh, the God of Daniel
00:12:42.89\00:12:46.16
and of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego.
00:12:46.19\00:12:50.13
Now, boys and girls, here
and boys and girls at home,
00:12:50.17\00:12:55.00
do you want to put your
trust into the hands of a God,
00:12:55.04\00:12:58.94
who has the
power to raise up kings
00:12:58.97\00:13:01.68
and to bring them down?
00:13:01.71\00:13:03.24
Do you wanna be faithful
like how Daniel was faithful?
00:13:03.28\00:13:06.45
And he purposed in his
heart not to defile himself
00:13:06.48\00:13:09.42
with the bad food
or the bad drinks,
00:13:09.45\00:13:11.82
but to be faithful to God?
00:13:11.85\00:13:13.19
Yes!
00:13:13.22\00:13:14.56
I stand for God.
00:13:14.59\00:13:15.92
Do you stand for Him?
00:13:15.96\00:13:17.29
Yes!
00:13:17.33\00:13:18.66
Oh, boys and girls, the
excitement is that some day
00:13:18.69\00:13:22.96
we are gonna get
to go home with Him.
00:13:23.00\00:13:25.03
But until then,
00:13:25.07\00:13:26.40
we must let Him
keep us faithful.
00:13:26.43\00:13:28.27
So search the scriptures,
find those hidden gems
00:13:28.30\00:13:32.24
and put them in your hearts
00:13:32.27\00:13:33.84
because truly
Jesus is coming again.
00:13:33.88\00:13:37.51
Well, that's all
the time we have,
00:13:37.55\00:13:39.21
come back and
see us at Bible Gems.
00:13:39.25\00:13:42.18
Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
