Music...
00:00:01.36\00:00:30.26
James: Daniel 5 part 2...
00:00:30.29\00:00:32.49
Ivor: Part 2...
00:00:32.53\00:00:33.86
James: There's
just a few verses left
00:00:33.90\00:00:35.23
but there's a lot in here.
00:00:35.26\00:00:36.60
There are some
parallels with Revelation...
00:00:36.63\00:00:38.97
there's some "Christ" in
here... we want to look at that
00:00:39.00\00:00:42.90
and then, there's just
the explanation itself.
00:00:42.94\00:00:45.04
So, we want to
make sure we don't...
00:00:45.07\00:00:47.28
really, I've been
loving this Program
00:00:47.34\00:00:49.48
since we started in Revelation
00:00:49.54\00:00:51.41
because we don't have an
agenda to crash course...
00:00:51.45\00:00:54.18
to rush through...
00:00:54.22\00:00:55.55
to get to a certain
place at a certain time...
00:00:55.58\00:00:57.15
we're taking the
texts as they come...
00:00:57.19\00:00:59.32
we're doing this... full
of explanations we can do
00:00:59.35\00:01:02.12
and we're taking our time
00:01:02.16\00:01:03.49
and I think that's a
really good thing for all of us.
00:01:03.53\00:01:04.99
Yvonne: I do too, I love it.
00:01:05.06\00:01:06.39
James: Yeah, I
think our Viewers...
00:01:06.43\00:01:07.76
and we've had a lot of
comments from our Viewers
00:01:07.80\00:01:09.53
that yeah they appreciate that
we just move through it slowly,
00:01:09.56\00:01:12.43
we do a lot of summarizing and
they can stick with us on this
00:01:12.47\00:01:15.34
so, I think that's...
that's a good thing, yeah.
00:01:15.37\00:01:16.71
Yvonne: Yes.
00:01:16.74\00:01:18.07
James: Ivor, pray us in.
00:01:18.11\00:01:19.44
Ivor: Let's
pray... "Heavenly Father,
00:01:19.47\00:01:21.08
we again come before You asking
for Your Spirit to be with us
00:01:21.11\00:01:25.55
as we continue to
study the book of Daniel.
00:01:25.58\00:01:28.68
Please Lord,
continue to give us insight
00:01:28.72\00:01:31.72
and just bless us as
we read and as we study,
00:01:31.75\00:01:36.12
we pray in Jesus' name, amen. "
00:01:36.16\00:01:37.49
All: Amen.
00:01:37.53\00:01:38.86
James: So, Jason, let's
read these verses right here,
00:01:38.89\00:01:40.93
Daniel chapter 5... we left
off with verse 24 I think it is,
00:01:40.96\00:01:46.60
so, 24 all the way to the end.
00:01:46.63\00:01:48.20
Jason: Okay, I might
need you to ad lib on 25...
00:01:48.24\00:01:50.94
just jump in
there and say these...
00:01:50.97\00:01:53.07
Yvonne: Oh, how to pronounce it.
00:01:53.11\00:01:54.44
Jason: Yeah, exactly...
00:01:54.48\00:01:55.81
James: MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
00:01:55.84\00:01:57.18
Jason: Yes, your part is
coming up in just a second...
00:01:57.21\00:02:01.25
James: MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
00:02:01.28\00:02:02.62
Jason: "Then the fingers of
the hand were sent from Him,
00:02:02.65\00:02:05.65
and this writing was written.
00:02:05.69\00:02:07.69
And this is the
inscription that was written:
00:02:07.72\00:02:10.39
James: MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN...
00:02:10.43\00:02:12.13
Jason: Thank you...
00:02:12.19\00:02:13.70
'This is the
interpretation of each word.
00:02:13.73\00:02:15.86
MENE... God has numbered
your kingdom, and finished it;
00:02:15.90\00:02:19.33
TEKEL... You have been
weighed in the balances,
00:02:19.37\00:02:24.17
and found wanting;
00:02:24.21\00:02:25.54
PERES... Your
kingdom has been divided,
00:02:25.57\00:02:28.58
and given to the
Medes and Persians. '
00:02:28.61\00:02:31.75
Then Belshazzar
gave the command,
00:02:31.81\00:02:34.78
and they clothed
Daniel with purple
00:02:34.82\00:02:37.72
and put a chain of
gold around his neck,
00:02:37.75\00:02:39.85
and made a
proclamation concerning him
00:02:39.92\00:02:41.96
that he should be the
third ruler in the kingdom.
00:02:41.99\00:02:45.66
That very night Belshazzar,
king of the Chaldeans,
00:02:45.69\00:02:49.30
was slain
00:02:49.33\00:02:50.67
and Darius the Mede
received the kingdom,
00:02:50.70\00:02:52.87
being about
sixty-two years old. "
00:02:52.90\00:02:54.87
James: Oooooh...
so there it is...
00:02:54.90\00:02:56.84
this is how we close
up the reign of Babylon
00:02:56.87\00:02:59.84
and right now we have
the head off... in a sense,
00:02:59.87\00:03:04.61
Babylon has come to an end
00:03:04.65\00:03:06.35
just like... was
predicted to Nebuchadnezzar
00:03:06.38\00:03:08.95
now fulfilled in
his grandson, Belshazzar
00:03:08.98\00:03:11.52
and God's Word is sure...
00:03:11.55\00:03:14.06
the interpretation
is absolutely accurate
00:03:14.09\00:03:16.42
and we see that confirmation
of prophecy right here.
00:03:16.46\00:03:19.89
Now, there's
something that happened
00:03:19.93\00:03:21.70
while you were
reading there, Jason,
00:03:21.73\00:03:23.37
I don't know if you noticed it
00:03:23.40\00:03:24.73
but we had a word
that was used in verse 25
00:03:24.77\00:03:27.34
that was changed in verse 28
00:03:27.37\00:03:29.50
and the word that was
used in verse 25 was "Upharsin"
00:03:29.57\00:03:34.18
and it was changed
to "Peres" in verse 28
00:03:34.21\00:03:37.78
and all we need to know is that
"Pharsin" is the plural "Peres"
00:03:37.81\00:03:43.02
that means divided...
00:03:43.08\00:03:44.45
so it was just a different
form of the same word...
00:03:44.49\00:03:47.56
it has the same meaning.
00:03:47.59\00:03:48.92
Why they did that, I'm not sure
00:03:48.96\00:03:50.76
but it's just the plural:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
00:03:50.79\00:03:53.29
MENE... God has
numbered your kingdom,
00:03:53.33\00:03:56.00
TEKEL... You are weighed in
the balances, and found wanting;
00:03:56.03\00:03:58.43
PERES or UPHARSIN:
your kingdom is divided
00:03:58.47\00:04:01.80
and it's given to the
Medes and the Persians
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.41
and it might be the plural
00:04:03.44\00:04:04.97
because of the Medes and
Persians... I'm not sure...
00:04:05.01\00:04:06.84
but that was... that
was the point there...
00:04:06.88\00:04:08.48
so, this was the writing
that he couldn't understand...
00:04:08.51\00:04:12.11
he didn't get it
00:04:12.15\00:04:13.48
and Daniel, of course, comes
in totally dedicated to God
00:04:13.52\00:04:17.99
and we know this because
again, he's speaking the truth
00:04:18.02\00:04:22.32
and he doesn't hold back the
gospel when he speaks the truth,
00:04:22.39\00:04:26.76
he brings the gospel out...
00:04:26.80\00:04:28.13
but he also is very
focused on what God has said
00:04:28.16\00:04:32.30
and at the same time,
he says to Belshazzar,
00:04:32.33\00:04:36.44
"I don't need your gifts...
I don't need your rewards...
00:04:36.50\00:04:38.91
none of that
matters to me... " why?
00:04:38.94\00:04:40.81
"Because God's got me... "
00:04:40.84\00:04:42.18
and it's when we
have our focus on God
00:04:42.21\00:04:44.28
and we know that God's got us
00:04:44.31\00:04:45.65
that we can say "No" to
the things of this world
00:04:45.68\00:04:47.55
and we see this
happening over and over again
00:04:47.58\00:04:49.65
and so, in that context,
Nebuchadnezzar responds...
00:04:49.68\00:04:54.46
excuse me... Belshazzar responds
00:04:54.52\00:04:56.06
and he clothes
Daniel with scarlet...
00:04:56.12\00:04:58.46
puts a chain of gold about his
neck and makes a proclamation
00:04:58.49\00:05:00.76
concerning that he
should be a third ruler
00:05:00.80\00:05:02.33
so, to me, that verse basically
says, he's unchanged...
00:05:02.36\00:05:06.07
he's
unrepentant... he's unchanged...
00:05:06.13\00:05:08.64
his whole focus is
still the things of this world
00:05:08.67\00:05:10.61
and it's the same principle
that we see in Revelation
00:05:10.64\00:05:13.58
when it says that... you know...
00:05:13.61\00:05:14.98
that God gives them time to
repent... they don't repent...
00:05:15.01\00:05:17.01
when God sends judgments
and they didn't repent...
00:05:17.05\00:05:19.18
when God sends the
plagues and they don't repent.
00:05:19.21\00:05:21.88
It's just the realization
that they're settled.
00:05:21.92\00:05:24.49
When God brings a
judgment at... at... at...
00:05:24.52\00:05:27.06
a proclamation of judgment,
00:05:27.09\00:05:29.02
God usually knows that
"Hey, this is it... " right?
00:05:29.09\00:05:33.03
and... and sure enough in
this situation, this was it
00:05:33.06\00:05:37.00
and so, we can
trust God with judgment.
00:05:37.03\00:05:39.33
Now, we can't
always do that, right?
00:05:39.37\00:05:40.90
Yvonne: Right.
00:05:40.94\00:05:42.37
James: Our judgment is finite
and we don't read the heart
00:05:42.40\00:05:44.81
and we can't judge
00:05:44.84\00:05:46.17
but God is sure when He
judges, He knows the heart.
00:05:46.21\00:05:50.05
Ivor: There's a thought
I want to introduce here
00:05:50.08\00:05:53.95
and I want to ask one of you
00:05:54.02\00:05:55.62
if you would go
to Isaiah chapter 44
00:05:55.65\00:05:57.69
because what I want to talk
about is how Babylon fell...
00:05:57.72\00:06:00.42
how Babylon fell...
00:06:00.46\00:06:02.42
so, James was mentioning
earlier in our last program,
00:06:02.46\00:06:05.79
that Babylon sat
along the River Euphrates...
00:06:05.83\00:06:08.86
it was surrounded
by the Euphrates...
00:06:08.90\00:06:11.87
it was a well-fortified city
00:06:11.90\00:06:14.70
and while Belshazzar
is within his kingdom
00:06:14.74\00:06:19.97
and feasting and
all these things,
00:06:20.01\00:06:23.38
outside of the city,
right, outside of the city walls
00:06:23.41\00:06:26.82
is the army of the
Medes and the Persians.
00:06:26.88\00:06:29.52
It's being led by...
obviously led by Cyrus...
00:06:29.55\00:06:33.36
and Isaiah 44 prophesied
of the fall of Babylon
00:06:33.39\00:06:37.16
and we're going
to read about it here
00:06:37.19\00:06:39.26
in Isaiah 44 verses 26
to 27... of 26 to 28 rather
00:06:39.29\00:06:45.37
and then we're
going to go to chapter 45
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.47
and read verses 1 and 2...
00:06:47.50\00:06:48.84
so, it's five verses altogether,
00:06:48.87\00:06:50.41
Yvonne, would you
read those verses for us?
00:06:50.44\00:06:51.94
Yvonne: Yeah, sure...
00:06:51.97\00:06:53.54
Yvonne: So, 44:26. Ivor: Right.
00:06:53.58\00:06:56.11
Yvonne: "Who confirms
the word of His servant,
00:06:56.14\00:06:59.28
and performs the
counsel of His messengers;
00:06:59.31\00:07:02.35
who says to Jerusalem,
'You shall be inhabited,'
00:07:02.38\00:07:05.59
to the cities of Judah,
00:07:05.62\00:07:06.96
'You shall be built,'
00:07:06.99\00:07:08.32
and I will raise
up her waste places;
00:07:08.36\00:07:10.56
Who says to the deep, 'Be dry!'
00:07:10.59\00:07:12.66
and I will dry up your rivers';
00:07:12.69\00:07:14.66
Who says of Cyrus,
'He is My shepherd,
00:07:14.70\00:07:17.33
and he shall
perform all My pleasure,
00:07:17.37\00:07:19.90
saying to Jerusalem,
'You shall be built,'
00:07:19.93\00:07:22.60
and to the temple,
00:07:22.64\00:07:23.97
'Your foundation
shall be laid. '"
00:07:24.01\00:07:25.51
Ivor: Okay, you can go
ahead and read verse 1 and 2
00:07:25.54\00:07:27.08
of chapter 45.
00:07:27.11\00:07:28.88
Yvonne: "Thus says
the Lord to his anointed,
00:07:28.91\00:07:30.61
to Cyrus, whose
right hand I have held...
00:07:30.65\00:07:32.98
to subdue nations before him
and loose the armor of kings,
00:07:33.01\00:07:36.75
to open before
him the double doors,
00:07:36.79\00:07:38.95
so that the
gates will not be shut:
00:07:38.99\00:07:41.09
'I will go before you and make
the crooked places straight;
00:07:41.12\00:07:44.79
I will break in
pieces the gates of bronze
00:07:44.83\00:07:47.76
and cut the bars of iron. '"
00:07:47.80\00:07:49.33
Ivor: So, what's interesting
about the text that you read...
00:07:49.36\00:07:53.90
verse 1 of
chapter 45 where it says,
00:07:53.94\00:07:56.20
"He will
loose... " or He will...
00:07:56.27\00:07:58.51
James: Loose the loins of kings.
00:07:58.54\00:08:00.78
Ivor: Well, the KJV says,
00:08:00.81\00:08:02.14
"He will loose the
loins of kings... "
00:08:02.18\00:08:03.51
but your version read, "He
will loose his armor" or...
00:08:03.55\00:08:06.55
Yvonne: Yes and "Loose
the armor of kings... "
00:08:06.61\00:08:08.82
Ivor: "Loose the
armor of kings... "
00:08:08.85\00:08:10.19
so, when... when I see here,
00:08:10.22\00:08:11.65
"Loose the loins of kings"
00:08:11.69\00:08:13.15
that reminds us of exactly
what happens to Belshazzar
00:08:13.19\00:08:16.46
when he saw the
writing on the wall.
00:08:16.52\00:08:18.46
So, we see here
that there's a connection
00:08:18.49\00:08:20.83
between Isaiah 45 and what's
happening in Daniel chapter 5,
00:08:20.86\00:08:25.97
but that's not
the only connection,
00:08:26.00\00:08:27.94
because here's what
happens in Daniel chapter 5,
00:08:27.97\00:08:31.07
while Belshazzar
is in his kingdom...
00:08:31.11\00:08:35.24
feeling secure in his domain...
00:08:35.28\00:08:37.08
his place is impenetrable...
00:08:37.11\00:08:38.81
you know, "You
can't get in here...
00:08:38.88\00:08:40.75
we're surrounded by
this River Euphrates... "
00:08:40.82\00:08:43.99
Cyrus is outside the city walls
00:08:44.05\00:08:46.92
and the story goes that
00:08:46.96\00:08:50.36
Cyrus' horse actually
drowned in the River Euphrates.
00:08:50.39\00:08:55.33
James: Really? I didn't know.
00:08:55.36\00:08:57.07
Ivor: And he got so
angry with the river,
00:08:57.10\00:08:59.50
that he said,
"Dry this river up. "
00:08:59.53\00:09:01.30
James: Wow! Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:09:01.37\00:09:02.70
Ivor: So, he
begins to drops these...
00:09:02.74\00:09:04.21
has his army drop these
rocks into the River Euphrates
00:09:04.24\00:09:07.54
and he creates this dam...
diverts the River Euphrates
00:09:07.58\00:09:10.81
and that's how they discovered
00:09:10.85\00:09:12.18
that the gates
had been unlocked.
00:09:12.21\00:09:14.42
James: Really? Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:09:14.45\00:09:16.28
Ivor: And so,
Cyrus and his army...
00:09:16.32\00:09:19.22
they basically
descend into this riverbed
00:09:19.25\00:09:22.06
and that's how they got
into the gates of Babylon.
00:09:22.09\00:09:27.03
They descended into the riverbed
00:09:27.06\00:09:29.16
and then opened the
gates that were unlocked
00:09:29.20\00:09:33.23
and that's how
they conquered Babylon.
00:09:33.27\00:09:35.04
Yvonne: Wow.
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:09:35.07\00:09:36.81
Ivor: And so, when
the Bible says here...
00:09:36.84\00:09:38.34
"He will dry up the
deep" verse 27 of Isaiah 44,
00:09:38.37\00:09:41.94
"That saith to
the deep, "Be dry... "
00:09:41.98\00:09:43.65
and I will dry
up thy rivers... "
00:09:43.68\00:09:45.31
that's speaking of Cyrus...
00:09:45.35\00:09:46.68
Yvonne: Oh, look at
that. James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:09:46.72\00:09:48.05
Ivor: And that's
exactly what He did
00:09:48.08\00:09:49.42
and notice how Cyrus
is called "my shepherd"
00:09:49.45\00:09:51.35
he's called...
00:09:51.39\00:09:52.72
he is the one that's
going to say to Jerusalem,
00:09:52.75\00:09:55.02
"Be thou re-built...
and to the temple... "
00:09:55.06\00:09:57.29
so, what did he do?
00:09:57.33\00:09:58.66
He is actually the one
that sets the captives free.
00:09:58.69\00:10:01.93
James: Wow. Yvonne: Wow...
00:10:01.96\00:10:03.33
Ivor: This is
powerful because in Isaiah 61
00:10:03.37\00:10:07.84
and I have it up on my screen
00:10:07.87\00:10:09.64
so I'm just going to
go ahead and read this,
00:10:09.67\00:10:11.01
Isaiah 61 verse 1... this
verse is speaking of Cyrus
00:10:11.04\00:10:14.44
in a very literal sense
and here's what it says,
00:10:14.48\00:10:18.08
"The Spirit of the
Lord GOD is upon me;
00:10:18.11\00:10:20.48
because the LORD
hath anointed me... "
00:10:20.52\00:10:22.78
that's what Cyrus is...
"the anointed one" right?
00:10:22.82\00:10:25.32
"The LORD hath anointed
me to preach good tidings
00:10:25.35\00:10:27.82
unto the meek;
00:10:27.86\00:10:29.29
He hath sent me to
bind up the brokenhearted,
00:10:29.32\00:10:31.29
to proclaim liberty
to the captives... "
00:10:31.33\00:10:34.20
Yvonne: Oooooh...
00:10:34.23\00:10:35.56
Ivor: What captives?
Those that were in Babylon...
00:10:35.60\00:10:38.60
Jerusalem, right? the Jews...
00:10:38.63\00:10:40.57
"And the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
00:10:40.60\00:10:44.24
to proclaim the
acceptable year of the LORD,
00:10:44.27\00:10:46.78
and the day of
vengeance of our God;
00:10:46.81\00:10:48.21
to comfort all that mourn;
00:10:48.24\00:10:49.58
to appoint unto
them that mourn in Zion,
00:10:49.61\00:10:51.31
to give unto
them beauty for ashes,
00:10:51.35\00:10:53.01
the oil of joy for mourning,
00:10:53.05\00:10:55.32
the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness;
00:10:55.35\00:10:57.69
that they might be
called trees of righteousness,
00:10:57.72\00:11:00.42
the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.
00:11:00.46\00:11:03.12
And they shall build
the old waste places,
00:11:03.16\00:11:06.06
they shall raise up
the former desolations...
00:11:06.09\00:11:08.96
they shall
repair the waste cities,
00:11:09.00\00:11:10.87
the desolations of
many generations. "
00:11:10.90\00:11:12.73
So, Cyrus is the one
00:11:12.77\00:11:14.50
that through this
opening of the gates...
00:11:14.54\00:11:19.64
drying up the deep...
entering into Babylon...
00:11:19.67\00:11:22.04
set the captives
free to go to Jerusalem.
00:11:22.08\00:11:25.65
So, when you read in
other places in the Scripture
00:11:25.68\00:11:28.88
and I believe it's in
2nd Kings or Chronicles...
00:11:28.92\00:11:32.12
where you see
this decree of Cyrus
00:11:32.15\00:11:34.46
where he says,
"God has called me to...
00:11:34.52\00:11:37.53
to build Him a
house in Jerusalem...
00:11:37.56\00:11:40.53
who is there among you of
His people that will go up...
00:11:40.56\00:11:43.00
let him go up...
00:11:43.03\00:11:45.03
let him go up,
00:11:45.07\00:11:46.97
let him go up... " all right...
00:11:47.04\00:11:48.84
so, you're
saying, "All right Pastor,
00:11:48.90\00:11:50.51
that... that's good,
this is history here... "
00:11:50.54\00:11:52.17
but I want you to
check this out because
00:11:52.21\00:11:54.04
remember what's happening
00:11:54.08\00:11:55.41
when Cyrus is
outside the city gates
00:11:55.44\00:11:59.88
and this handwriting
appears on the wall...
00:11:59.91\00:12:02.78
"Your kingdom is
numbered and finished. "
00:12:02.82\00:12:05.62
Babylon falls...
00:12:05.65\00:12:07.32
and that night
the king of Babylon...
00:12:07.36\00:12:08.79
his loins are loose... his knees
smote together because of fear.
00:12:08.82\00:12:12.13
Cyrus... as we have previously
talked about is a type of Christ
00:12:12.19\00:12:17.63
in fact, in the book of Luke 4,
when Jesus begins His ministry,
00:12:17.67\00:12:23.10
he opens up and
quotes Isaiah 61.
00:12:23.14\00:12:26.34
Yvonne: Yeah.
00:12:26.37\00:12:27.78
Ivor: It's as if He's
saying, "Cyrus is here... "
00:12:27.81\00:12:29.74
that's what He's saying.
00:12:29.78\00:12:31.98
James: Yup, "the
anointed is here. "
00:12:32.01\00:12:33.35
Ivor: "The anointed is
here... " the anointed One...
00:12:33.38\00:12:34.72
Now, this is the
powerful thing because
00:12:34.75\00:12:37.55
what was in the...
Belshazzar doing that night?
00:12:37.59\00:12:39.69
He was taking the holy
things of God and mocking them.
00:12:39.72\00:12:42.36
Yvonne: Right.
00:12:42.42\00:12:43.76
Ivor: So, who's the
real king of Babylon?
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.13
James: Hmmm...
00:12:45.16\00:12:46.49
Ivor: The true king of
Babylon is Satan himself
00:12:46.53\00:12:49.36
and we've seen that
in Nebuchadnezzar...
00:12:49.40\00:12:52.17
James: King of Pride...
00:12:52.20\00:12:53.70
Ivor: The King of Pride...
00:12:53.74\00:12:55.14
so, was there a
time that Satan...
00:12:55.20\00:12:56.84
because what
Belshazzar was doing was,
00:12:56.87\00:12:58.51
he was mocking the holy things
of God before his people...
00:12:58.54\00:13:01.58
parading the holy
things of God before his own,
00:13:01.61\00:13:04.68
was there a time
that Satan thought he had
00:13:04.71\00:13:07.72
the most holiest thing
of God in his possession,
00:13:07.75\00:13:11.35
parading and mocking that thing?
00:13:11.39\00:13:13.62
Yes, that was Jesus Christ.
00:13:13.66\00:13:15.26
So, he has Jesus... getting
ready to take Him to the cross
00:13:15.29\00:13:19.53
and this is just so amazing
because here's what's happening,
00:13:19.56\00:13:23.80
the man that Satan is leading
00:13:23.83\00:13:26.97
outside the city gates...
00:13:27.00\00:13:30.11
All: Laughing... as Ivor
has an important point to make.
00:13:30.14\00:13:33.04
James: Take your
time... take your time.
00:13:33.07\00:13:35.28
Ivor: The man he is leading
outside the city gates...
00:13:35.31\00:13:39.75
little does he realize
that He is the Cyrus of God.
00:13:39.78\00:13:44.19
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:13:44.22\00:13:45.55
Ivor: And so, imagine this now,
Jesus is outside the city gates,
00:13:45.59\00:13:48.89
remember what Cyrus did, right?
00:13:48.92\00:13:50.46
All: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:13:50.49\00:13:51.83
Ivor: He dried up
the deep and descended...
00:13:51.86\00:13:54.20
He descended into the earth
00:13:54.26\00:13:59.07
to open the gates
00:13:59.10\00:14:04.31
to set the captives free.
00:14:04.34\00:14:09.94
Yvonne: Yes.
00:14:09.98\00:14:11.31
James: He led a
multitude of captives captive...
00:14:11.35\00:14:13.48
remember that? The
multitude that comes forth.
00:14:13.52\00:14:15.72
Ivor: This is exactly what Jesus
does in His death and burial...
00:14:15.75\00:14:20.46
He has entered into the
gates of what Satan thought
00:14:20.49\00:14:24.09
was an impenetrable dominion...
00:14:24.13\00:14:26.29
"Yeah, my dominion is secure...
it's safe... it's locked up... "
00:14:26.33\00:14:30.20
Jesus enters into that
place through His death...
00:14:30.23\00:14:33.17
dries up the deep
and remember this...
00:14:33.20\00:14:36.44
what was written on
the wall of Babylon?
00:14:36.50\00:14:39.91
"Your kingdom is
numbered and found wanting
00:14:39.94\00:14:43.31
and your kingdom is finished...
00:14:43.35\00:14:45.98
your kingdom is finished... "
00:14:46.01\00:14:48.62
James: "It is finished. "
00:14:48.65\00:14:50.22
Ivor: "It is finished. "
00:14:50.25\00:14:52.59
Yvonne: Oooooh... wow!
00:14:52.62\00:14:53.96
Ivor: When Jesus cries
out, "It is finished... "
00:14:53.99\00:14:56.32
the loins of Satan were loosed.
00:14:56.36\00:15:00.83
Yvonne: Ho... ho... wow!
00:15:00.90\00:15:03.33
Ivor: His knees... because he
knew it was his death knell...
00:15:03.37\00:15:06.70
he knew this was it...
00:15:06.74\00:15:08.40
like the... the...
00:15:08.44\00:15:10.01
the seed of the woman had
bruised the head of the serpent
00:15:10.04\00:15:14.58
so, what do we have here?
00:15:14.61\00:15:16.41
I mean, think about it...
00:15:16.44\00:15:18.15
Christ's death sets
the captives free...
00:15:18.18\00:15:21.25
so, who wants to
go up to Jerusalem?
00:15:21.28\00:15:24.29
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:15:24.32\00:15:26.19
Ivor: Who wants to go up
to the heavenly Jerusalem?
00:15:26.22\00:15:29.32
Whoever will... whoever will...
whoever will... let him go up...
00:15:29.36\00:15:33.26
let him go up...
this is amazing...
00:15:33.29\00:15:35.36
so watch what we
haven't had happening here,
00:15:35.40\00:15:37.30
we're going to do the re-cap...
00:15:37.33\00:15:38.83
in Daniel 1... appetite...
00:15:38.87\00:15:41.20
the beginning of His ministry...
00:15:41.24\00:15:44.44
Daniel 2... stone to the foot...
00:15:44.47\00:15:47.64
His second temptation...
00:15:47.68\00:15:49.11
Daniel 3... bow
down and worship...
00:15:49.14\00:15:51.41
that's the
beginning of His ministry...
00:15:51.45\00:15:53.72
Daniel 4... the tree...
00:15:53.75\00:15:55.82
this is the tree
that's really going to be...
00:15:55.88\00:15:58.52
that's going to be the one that
establishes an eternal kingdom,
00:15:58.55\00:16:01.96
right? the
cross... that's His death...
00:16:01.99\00:16:03.76
Daniel chapter
5... His burial...
00:16:03.83\00:16:06.59
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:16:06.63\00:16:09.36
James: He sets
the captives free...
00:16:09.40\00:16:10.73
Ivor: He... through
His death and burial...
00:16:10.77\00:16:12.60
He sets the captives free...
00:16:12.63\00:16:14.34
and I'm trying not to do
this but I think I'm going to
00:16:14.37\00:16:18.91
because in Daniel chapter 6...
00:16:18.94\00:16:21.24
pause... all laughing
00:16:21.28\00:16:23.41
because they know that
Ivor has an important point...
00:16:23.45\00:16:27.22
Ivor: In Daniel chapter 6,
you have Daniel in a Lions' Den
00:16:27.25\00:16:32.12
with a stone over the
mouth of the Lions' Den
00:16:32.15\00:16:36.42
and a seal over
that stone saying,
00:16:36.46\00:16:40.76
"Make sure he does
not come out of the... "
00:16:40.80\00:16:44.00
Jason: Wow! Yvonne: Wow! Yes.
00:16:44.03\00:16:45.97
Ivor: Who would have
thought that Daniel chapter 1
00:16:46.00\00:16:48.97
all the way to Daniel chapter
6 is a parallel and a picture
00:16:49.00\00:16:53.78
of the beginning
of Christ's ministry
00:16:53.81\00:16:56.14
and his death,
burial and resurrection...
00:16:56.18\00:16:58.48
like it's just mind-blowing.
00:16:58.51\00:17:00.38
Yvonne: Wow!
00:17:00.42\00:17:01.75
Ivor: These are
the different patterns
00:17:01.78\00:17:03.12
that we begin to see
unfold as we're looking at...
00:17:03.15\00:17:05.15
whoa! God is showing us
Daniel living the life of Christ
00:17:05.19\00:17:08.36
through these
stories of the Bible.
00:17:08.39\00:17:11.66
He's showing us what
is going to pertain...
00:17:11.69\00:17:15.26
what's going to fall on
us at the end of time...
00:17:15.33\00:17:18.43
he's showing us how
these stories end up applying
00:17:18.47\00:17:21.57
in very practical ways
00:17:21.60\00:17:23.37
but also seeing Jesus
in the midst of the story.
00:17:23.41\00:17:27.11
Yvonne: Yes... yes...
00:17:27.14\00:17:28.48
Ivor: He sets
the captives free...
00:17:28.51\00:17:30.68
He sets the captives free...
00:17:30.71\00:17:32.48
Yvonne: Wow! oooh!
00:17:32.51\00:17:34.52
James: It's so beautiful because
when you think about Christ
00:17:34.55\00:17:37.22
after He was resurrected...
00:17:37.25\00:17:38.65
and by the way, I want
us to refer to a verse here
00:17:38.69\00:17:40.79
we can look at it
here in a second...
00:17:40.86\00:17:42.39
Matthew 27 verses...
let's just say, verses 50 to 53
00:17:42.42\00:17:48.86
when we look at those verses,
00:17:48.93\00:17:51.20
it's interesting
because when you think about
00:17:51.23\00:17:53.30
the story of Christ,
00:17:53.34\00:17:54.67
you know, when
He goes on that walk
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.27
with His two
disciples to Emmaus...
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.27
and they are all pouty
and down and discouraged
00:17:58.31\00:18:02.88
and He says,
"What's up guys... "
00:18:02.91\00:18:05.38
"Oh, you haven't heard?"
00:18:05.41\00:18:07.12
"Well, there was a
guy that was crucified
00:18:07.18\00:18:11.62
and we all thought... we
were sure He was the Messiah
00:18:11.65\00:18:14.22
but, you know, he
was killed today and... "
00:18:14.26\00:18:17.06
"Well, what? are you sure
that He's like gone... like...?"
00:18:17.09\00:18:22.93
and then He goes
back... what does it say?
00:18:22.96\00:18:25.07
to Moses and the prophets
00:18:25.13\00:18:27.24
and shows Himself through
all of these prophecies...
00:18:27.27\00:18:31.41
and when you get to
Daniel, you're like,
00:18:31.44\00:18:34.68
"Eh... "
00:18:34.71\00:18:36.28
but if Daniel is continuing
in the book of Revelation...
00:18:36.31\00:18:40.85
I don't know if
you remember this
00:18:40.88\00:18:42.22
when we went
through Revelation...
00:18:42.25\00:18:43.59
we went through the
trumpet... the churches...
00:18:43.62\00:18:45.19
the seals and the trumpets...
00:18:45.22\00:18:46.69
and every single one of...
00:18:46.72\00:18:48.09
and the seven last
vials or the seven plagues...
00:18:48.12\00:18:51.23
every single one of those
began with a picture of Christ.
00:18:51.26\00:18:54.30
I don't know if
you remember that...
00:18:54.33\00:18:55.66
so, the first one of
course... the seven churches...
00:18:55.70\00:18:58.03
there's Christ
among the churches...
00:18:58.07\00:18:59.40
remember that? Ivor: Yeah.
00:18:59.43\00:19:00.77
James: And we talked about
how that was a representation
00:19:00.80\00:19:02.90
of Christ being incarnate
among us... being with us...
00:19:02.97\00:19:05.21
the second one was a picture
00:19:05.24\00:19:07.01
of the Lamb slain in
the midst of the throne...
00:19:07.04\00:19:09.11
you remember
that? Revelation 5...
00:19:09.14\00:19:10.48
and we said, "That's
the cross right there"
00:19:10.51\00:19:12.61
right? That's the cross.
00:19:12.65\00:19:13.98
The third one was a picture
of this angel with incense
00:19:14.02\00:19:17.32
interceding with the
prayers of the saints...
00:19:17.35\00:19:20.22
we said, "That's a
representation right there
00:19:20.26\00:19:22.99
of His ministry in heaven. "
00:19:23.02\00:19:24.36
And the fourth one was
the woman who was pregnant
00:19:24.39\00:19:28.00
and gave birth to the child
00:19:28.03\00:19:29.66
and the child was taken
up to God and to His throne
00:19:29.70\00:19:32.13
and that was again...
again a summary of His birth
00:19:32.17\00:19:34.00
and His resurrection.
00:19:34.04\00:19:35.64
It was all about Jesus
so, each one of those epics...
00:19:35.67\00:19:38.21
because there were
only four cycles...
00:19:38.24\00:19:39.67
all started with Christ...
00:19:39.71\00:19:41.04
Daniel is doing
the same thing here,
00:19:41.08\00:19:42.41
I mean, what Ivor's brought
out here is the same point
00:19:42.44\00:19:46.35
and the point is this,
prophecy is about Jesus...
00:19:46.41\00:19:49.58
He's the ultimate
reason why we have prophecy
00:19:49.62\00:19:52.75
and so His life is foreshadowed
in all these different events
00:19:52.79\00:19:55.99
that are taking place...
00:19:56.02\00:19:57.36
God is pouring into
the stories of Daniel...
00:19:57.39\00:20:00.66
the experiences of
Daniel and others...
00:20:00.70\00:20:03.47
He's pouring into
that the plan of salvation
00:20:03.50\00:20:05.50
so that we can see
the plan of salvation.
00:20:05.53\00:20:07.50
Ivor: Yeah, there's
another picture that we...
00:20:07.54\00:20:09.64
because we've been
looking at several...
00:20:09.67\00:20:11.47
all of these themes
that are just overflowing
00:20:11.51\00:20:14.44
and you remember we were doing
in the first couple of messages
00:20:14.48\00:20:19.15
or programs, we talked about
the end-time event for us...
00:20:19.21\00:20:23.85
at the end of time,
there'll be a group of people
00:20:23.89\00:20:25.55
we kept kind of... there
will be a group of people
00:20:25.59\00:20:27.06
who will avoid
the wine of Babylon
00:20:27.09\00:20:28.42
and that was one pattern
00:20:28.46\00:20:29.79
and now we're looking at
a pattern of Christ's life
00:20:29.82\00:20:31.83
unfolding through
the book of Daniel,
00:20:31.86\00:20:33.29
and we're looking at another
pattern of the king of the north
00:20:33.33\00:20:36.00
at the time of the end...
00:20:36.06\00:20:37.40
all these patterns
are just overflowing
00:20:37.43\00:20:40.44
and this is what I
call "Divine Design"
00:20:40.47\00:20:43.20
like, you can't
make this stuff up...
00:20:43.24\00:20:45.91
it's too much order there
00:20:45.97\00:20:48.11
and so, we're going to
re-cap another pattern again
00:20:48.14\00:20:50.45
and this is the
king of the north...
00:20:50.48\00:20:51.81
king of the south...
00:20:51.85\00:20:53.18
Daniel 11:40 to 45
00:20:53.21\00:20:54.55
and now we're going to
see a really complete picture
00:20:54.58\00:20:56.85
because here's what happens,
00:20:56.89\00:20:58.22
Daniel 1... king of the south...
00:20:58.25\00:20:59.75
I'm going to see if
you guys can help me...
00:20:59.79\00:21:01.32
king of the
south pushes against...
00:21:01.36\00:21:03.12
All: king of the north...
00:21:03.16\00:21:04.49
Ivor: The king of the
north returns that... that fight
00:21:04.53\00:21:07.50
and defeats king of the south...
00:21:07.53\00:21:09.30
he then turns his
attention to.. to Jerusalem...
00:21:09.33\00:21:12.50
he seeks to
enforce the wine of Babylon
00:21:12.53\00:21:16.14
and... and...
that's Daniel chapter 1...
00:21:16.17\00:21:19.71
Daniel chapter 2... he
hears tidings from where?
00:21:19.74\00:21:26.72
The north and the
east that trouble him
00:21:26.78\00:21:29.28
and so, with fury...
00:21:29.32\00:21:31.39
he goes forth
with fury to do what?
00:21:31.42\00:21:34.89
To destroy many...
that's Daniel chapter 3.
00:21:34.92\00:21:37.49
Daniel 4... he's
going to set up his...
00:21:37.53\00:21:39.59
his palaces...
00:21:39.63\00:21:41.46
he's going to be a
glory in his palaces
00:21:41.50\00:21:43.67
so, that's Daniel 1, 2,
3, 4 and then, Daniel 5,
00:21:43.70\00:21:47.04
Michael... no, no,
no, I'm sorry... Cyrus...
00:21:47.07\00:21:51.44
All: Hmmm...
00:21:51.47\00:21:52.81
Ivor: Now, recall
what I just did...
00:21:52.84\00:21:55.38
right... Michael...
no, no, no, no, Cyrus...
00:21:55.41\00:21:59.41
Cyrus... after he's
set up his palaces...
00:21:59.45\00:22:03.79
and remember what we
read in Daniel chapter 11
00:22:03.82\00:22:06.65
verses 40 to 45...
00:22:06.69\00:22:08.02
all the things that
we've just seen in verses...
00:22:08.06\00:22:09.76
in chapters 1 through 4...
00:22:09.79\00:22:11.26
we see taking place on a
global scale in verses 40 to 45
00:22:11.29\00:22:17.77
and the last verse... I
know we're not going there
00:22:17.80\00:22:20.14
I know I'm just kind
of throwing this out,
00:22:20.17\00:22:21.74
but the last verse in
45... he sets up his palaces...
00:22:21.77\00:22:24.74
the thing that we
left off in chapter 4...
00:22:24.77\00:22:27.18
he sets up his palaces.
00:22:27.21\00:22:28.71
In chapter 5... Babylon falls
00:22:28.74\00:22:31.81
and Cyrus is the one
that overthrows them.
00:22:31.85\00:22:34.88
The anointed stands up
and what does the anointed do?
00:22:34.92\00:22:38.59
He opens the gates
of the prison houses...
00:22:38.62\00:22:41.19
them that sleep in
the dust of the earth.
00:22:41.22\00:22:45.49
Yvonne: Wow!
00:22:45.53\00:22:46.86
Ivor: The heavenly
Cyrus... when He comes...
00:22:46.90\00:22:48.23
that's Daniel 12:1 and 2...
00:22:48.26\00:22:50.67
the heavenly
Cyrus when He comes...
00:22:50.70\00:22:52.80
he's going to open
the gates of Babylon...
00:22:52.83\00:22:55.70
All: Hmmm...
00:22:55.74\00:22:57.14
Ivor: The gates of the
grave to set the captives free
00:22:57.17\00:23:01.41
so that they can go where?
00:23:01.44\00:23:02.81
Ivor: Jerusalem.
James: Up... up...
00:23:02.84\00:23:05.35
Ivor: up... and remember this...
00:23:05.38\00:23:07.15
Daniel... I'm sorry...
Cyrus... in order to do this
00:23:07.18\00:23:12.85
he had to dry up
the River Euphrates...
00:23:12.89\00:23:14.52
James: Hmmm...
00:23:14.56\00:23:15.89
Ivor: That brings us right
back to Revelation chapter 18...
00:23:15.92\00:23:18.29
I'm sorry... chapter 16
where the River Euphrates...
00:23:18.36\00:23:20.90
James: We should read
that. Ivor: Let's go to it.
00:23:20.93\00:23:23.43
James: That's really interesting
because of the way that it's...
00:23:23.47\00:23:25.90
the way that it's...
I'm going to leave my...
00:23:25.93\00:23:27.67
my... my pen in... in Matthew 27
00:23:27.70\00:23:31.47
so I don't forget that verse
if we have time to go back to
00:23:31.54\00:23:33.64
but this one's even
more important, I think.
00:23:33.68\00:23:36.81
Yvonne: What verse?
Ivor: 16... verses 12 to 16,
00:23:36.85\00:23:39.95
12 to 15...
00:23:39.98\00:23:41.38
Jason: Okay... 12 to 15...
00:23:41.42\00:23:45.55
"Then the sixth
angel poured out his bowl
00:23:45.62\00:23:48.32
on the great river Euphrates,
and its water was dried up,
00:23:48.36\00:23:51.66
so that the way of
the kings from the east
00:23:51.69\00:23:53.53
might be prepared. "
00:23:53.56\00:23:54.90
James: I think we
should stop right there...
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.26
I think we
should stop right there
00:23:56.30\00:23:57.63
because this is the...
00:23:57.67\00:23:59.00
this is the plague and
this is the focus right here
00:23:59.03\00:24:00.77
so, of course the
book of Revelation
00:24:00.80\00:24:02.97
is borrowing from
the Old Testament...
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.11
so, we have to go to
the Old Testament story
00:24:05.14\00:24:06.68
of the drying of the
River Euphrates which is Cyrus.
00:24:06.71\00:24:08.24
Ivor: Yeah.
00:24:08.31\00:24:09.64
James: In here they're
called the kings of the east...
00:24:09.68\00:24:11.35
it's plural... Ivor: Yeah.
00:24:11.41\00:24:12.75
James: Now, it's
interesting I think
00:24:12.78\00:24:14.42
that Cyrus who later became
00:24:14.45\00:24:16.99
the king of Medo-Persia,
00:24:17.02\00:24:19.45
was not the first king of
Medo-Persia... Darius was.
00:24:19.49\00:24:22.46
Ivor: Right... right...
00:24:22.49\00:24:23.83
James: But they were
the Medes and the Persians
00:24:23.86\00:24:25.19
Ivor: It says
"Darius" in Daniel chapter 5...
00:24:25.23\00:24:26.56
James: Right... right...
00:24:26.59\00:24:27.93
the Medes and
Persians though work together,
00:24:27.96\00:24:29.30
so and it was plural
00:24:29.33\00:24:30.67
so, the plurality of
the Medes and Persians
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.03
also parallels the plurality
because here we've got plural
00:24:32.07\00:24:34.54
so, who are the kings
of the east in this verse?
00:24:34.57\00:24:36.74
Well, I want you to notice
that in... is it Matthew 24
00:24:36.77\00:24:41.54
it talks about the
second coming of Jesus
00:24:41.58\00:24:44.45
and it says
00:24:44.48\00:24:48.02
in verse 27
00:24:48.05\00:24:51.52
of Matthew 24,
00:24:51.55\00:24:54.92
"For as lightning
comes out of the east,
00:24:54.96\00:24:59.49
and shines even unto the west;
00:24:59.53\00:25:02.13
so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. "
00:25:02.16\00:25:04.23
Okay, then go forward
just a little bit in Matthew
00:25:04.27\00:25:06.30
and look at verse... chapter 26
00:25:06.33\00:25:10.21
and look at verse 64...
00:25:10.24\00:25:13.48
pause...
00:25:13.51\00:25:16.38
Jason: "Jesus said to
him, 'It is as you said.
00:25:16.41\00:25:19.18
Nevertheless, I say to you,
00:25:19.21\00:25:20.58
hereafter you
will see the Son of man
00:25:20.62\00:25:22.78
sitting at the
right hand of the Power,
00:25:22.82\00:25:25.19
and coming on the
clouds of heaven. '"
00:25:25.22\00:25:27.16
James: Okay, so
who's coming with Jesus?
00:25:27.19\00:25:29.02
Who is the Power that He
sits on the right hand of?
00:25:29.06\00:25:33.70
Christ sits on
the right hand of who?
00:25:33.73\00:25:35.23
Yvonne: Father.
00:25:35.26\00:25:36.60
James: Father... so,
these are the kings of the east,
00:25:36.63\00:25:38.30
they're coming from the east...
00:25:38.33\00:25:39.67
Matthew 24 says,
00:25:39.70\00:25:41.04
"Lightning shining from
the east to the west... "
00:25:41.07\00:25:42.50
lightning... brightness...
00:25:42.54\00:25:43.94
and He's sitting at
the right hand of Power...
00:25:43.97\00:25:45.31
so, these are the
kings of the east...
00:25:45.34\00:25:46.68
so, the River Euphrates is dried
up so that the anointed One
00:25:46.71\00:25:49.24
who represents Darius...
the Power in that time...
00:25:49.31\00:25:53.85
because he was the
General at that time...
00:25:53.88\00:25:55.22
their... their
way will be prepared
00:25:55.25\00:25:56.82
and this is the same terminology
that's being brought forth here.
00:25:56.85\00:26:00.09
Ivor: And the
powerful thing is remember
00:26:00.16\00:26:01.49
the Medes and the
Persians were from not just...
00:26:01.52\00:26:03.19
one was from the east...
one was from the north...
00:26:03.22\00:26:05.39
and so, here you have...
00:26:05.46\00:26:07.00
Cyrus is called a
king from the east
00:26:07.03\00:26:09.80
but he's also considered
the king of the north.
00:26:09.83\00:26:11.70
Remember, God said, "I'm
going to bring the northern
00:26:11.73\00:26:13.90
families upon Babylon
00:26:13.94\00:26:15.27
to overthrow them
and destroy them... "
00:26:15.30\00:26:16.71
so, the true king of
the north is standing up
00:26:16.74\00:26:21.81
to battle against the
counterfeit king of the north.
00:26:21.84\00:26:25.61
Yvonne: Ooooh... ah ha...
00:26:25.65\00:26:26.98
Ivor: And all of
this comes together
00:26:27.02\00:26:28.35
and we haven't even really hit
00:26:28.38\00:26:30.19
the heavy prophetic
portion of Daniel yet...
00:26:30.22\00:26:33.42
we've only covered one
really prophetic chapter
00:26:33.46\00:26:36.89
but everything
else has let us know
00:26:36.93\00:26:38.99
exactly what we're looking
for in chapter 7 through 12.
00:26:39.06\00:26:43.63
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:26:43.67\00:26:45.43
shall we give our Viewers
that one verse in Matthew 27?
00:26:45.47\00:26:48.20
Ivor: Let's do it... yup.
00:26:48.24\00:26:49.57
James: There's... Yvonne,
would you read those for us?
00:26:49.60\00:26:52.14
There's... are you
there? Yvonne: Sure... where?
00:26:52.17\00:26:54.21
James: Matthew
27 verses 50 to 53.
00:26:54.24\00:26:58.35
We can close out with these
because these are powerful.
00:26:58.38\00:27:00.02
Yvonne: 50 to 53...
00:27:00.08\00:27:01.45
"And Jesus cried out
again with a loud voice,
00:27:01.48\00:27:05.19
and yielded up His spirit.
00:27:05.22\00:27:06.55
Then, behold, the veil of
the temple was torn in two
00:27:06.59\00:27:09.49
from top to bottom;
and the earth quaked,
00:27:09.52\00:27:11.36
and the rocks were split,
and the graves were opened;
00:27:11.39\00:27:14.23
and many bodies of the saints
00:27:14.26\00:27:15.66
who had fallen
asleep were raised... "
00:27:15.70\00:27:17.37
keep going?
James: Verse 53, yeah.
00:27:17.40\00:27:18.80
Yvonne: "and coming out of the
graves after His resurrection,
00:27:18.83\00:27:21.27
they went into the holy
city and appeared to many. "
00:27:21.30\00:27:23.77
James: That's it right there.
00:27:23.81\00:27:25.14
Ivor: One of my
favorite authors said,
00:27:25.17\00:27:26.68
it was the same hand that
tore the veil from top to bottom
00:27:26.71\00:27:29.81
that wrote, "It is finished... "
00:27:29.84\00:27:31.45
on the wall of
Belshazzar's palace.
00:27:31.48\00:27:32.91
James: MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
00:27:32.95\00:27:34.32
Yvonne: Ooooh...
00:27:34.35\00:27:35.68
Ivor: It is... yeah,
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN...
00:27:35.72\00:27:37.25
same hand that wrote that
00:27:37.29\00:27:39.39
is the same hand
that tore the veil...
00:27:39.42\00:27:41.02
Yvonne: Wow!
00:27:41.06\00:27:42.39
James: This is the
point right here...
00:27:42.42\00:27:43.76
Jesus went down
so we could go up.
00:27:43.79\00:27:45.13
Ivor: That's right.
00:27:45.16\00:27:46.49
James: He came to
release the captives.
00:27:46.53\00:27:47.86
Ivor: Yeah... yeah.
00:27:47.90\00:27:49.23
James: It's a beautiful picture
and so, we got to remember this,
00:27:49.26\00:27:51.47
the prophecies of Daniel are all
about the plan of salvation...
00:27:51.50\00:27:54.70
that's what it's all about.
00:27:54.74\00:27:56.10
Yvonne: Amen. James: Praise God.
00:27:56.14\00:27:57.77
