Music...
00:00:01.36\00:00:31.16
James: Praise the
Lord, we are back in Daniel
00:00:31.19\00:00:34.86
but this time,
we're moving to chapter 9
00:00:34.90\00:00:37.07
and because we
are riding on the high
00:00:37.10\00:00:39.17
of what we've just discovered...
not only in Daniel chapter 8
00:00:39.23\00:00:41.77
but also through the
whole book of Daniel...
00:00:41.80\00:00:44.87
the X... Y... and
Z... is all about Jesus
00:00:44.91\00:00:47.74
the Son of Man...
00:00:47.81\00:00:49.68
the One who is the
Prince that delivers us...
00:00:49.71\00:00:52.18
that mediates for us
00:00:52.21\00:00:53.55
and that is going
to blot out our sins...
00:00:53.58\00:00:56.28
not just put us in remission
00:00:56.32\00:00:58.15
but He's going to
completely make us whole...
00:00:58.19\00:01:00.89
He's going to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
00:01:00.92\00:01:02.72
Yvonne: Amen.
00:01:02.79\00:01:04.13
James: So, we're going to begin
chapter 9 with a fresh start
00:01:04.16\00:01:06.90
in a sense... and
we should do that,
00:01:06.93\00:01:08.90
first of all
with a word of prayer
00:01:08.93\00:01:10.67
but we want to
remember that Daniel 9
00:01:10.70\00:01:12.43
is connected to Daniel 8...
00:01:12.47\00:01:13.80
we've left verses 13
and 14 on the table...
00:01:13.84\00:01:16.17
the 2300-day prophecy...
00:01:16.20\00:01:17.91
Daniel 9...
we're going to see...
00:01:17.94\00:01:19.27
is going to be the
key to unlock Daniel 8
00:01:19.31\00:01:22.71
and the 2300-day prophecy.
00:01:22.74\00:01:24.08
So, Jason, would
you like to start us out
00:01:24.11\00:01:26.28
with a word of prayer
and then we'll jump right in.
00:01:26.31\00:01:27.65
Jason: Absolutely...
00:01:27.68\00:01:29.02
"Dear heavenly Father,
00:01:29.05\00:01:30.39
we thank You for
the time that we have
00:01:30.42\00:01:32.25
to study Your Word.
00:01:32.29\00:01:33.69
Lord, help us to
internalize what we learn today
00:01:33.72\00:01:37.23
and also follow You very
closely and Lord, I just ask
00:01:37.26\00:01:43.20
that You would be
with the Viewers as well...
00:01:43.23\00:01:44.57
and help them to
make a decision for You
00:01:44.60\00:01:46.43
if they haven't done so yet,
in Jesus' name we pray, amen. "
00:01:46.47\00:01:49.27
James: Amen...
amen... Ivor: Amen.
00:01:49.30\00:01:51.71
James: So, Daniel 9,
Ivor, is an amazing chapter.
00:01:51.74\00:01:54.64
How do we approach this chapter
00:01:54.68\00:01:56.58
because there's so much here.
00:01:56.64\00:01:58.48
Ivor: Yeah, um, you
know, what I have...
00:01:58.51\00:02:04.12
in my experience...
when people look at Daniel 9,
00:02:04.15\00:02:07.62
they... they
separated... Number one...
00:02:07.66\00:02:10.09
from the rest of
the book of Daniel
00:02:10.13\00:02:12.53
so they kind of jump
in kind of cold turkey
00:02:12.56\00:02:15.96
and then try to interpret it
00:02:16.00\00:02:17.70
not understanding the context
of the whole book of Daniel.
00:02:17.73\00:02:21.14
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:02:21.17\00:02:22.60
Ivor: Okay, that's Number one
00:02:22.64\00:02:24.37
but Number two
to a greater degree,
00:02:24.41\00:02:27.21
people look at Daniel 9
00:02:27.28\00:02:31.48
and they fail to understand
the context of Daniel 9
00:02:31.51\00:02:37.35
in light of the
entire history of Israel.
00:02:37.39\00:02:40.06
James: Okay.
00:02:40.12\00:02:41.46
Ivor: So, what we want to do
is... before we get to Daniel 9,
00:02:41.49\00:02:45.49
we want to set Daniel 9 up
00:02:45.53\00:02:48.93
by going through the history
of the whole Old Testament.
00:02:48.96\00:02:52.67
James: Okay... how
long is that going to take?
00:02:52.70\00:02:54.94
Ivor: That's going
to take us maybe...
00:02:54.97\00:02:57.17
maybe five minutes... maybe ten.
00:02:57.21\00:02:59.77
James: Wow! All
right, we're ready...
00:02:59.81\00:03:01.74
fasten seatbelts
guys. Yvonne: I know.
00:03:01.78\00:03:03.71
Ivor: Fasten
your seatbelts, okay.
00:03:03.75\00:03:05.68
So, here's what
we're going to do,
00:03:05.71\00:03:07.55
we're going to
first understand that
00:03:07.58\00:03:09.32
the Bible tells us
in the book of Genesis
00:03:09.35\00:03:11.32
that God created the
heavens and the earth
00:03:11.35\00:03:14.26
and that He
created the Garden of Eden
00:03:14.29\00:03:17.16
and if you look
at the description
00:03:17.19\00:03:19.76
of the Garden of Eden, you know,
00:03:19.79\00:03:22.26
it was a land that, you know,
had a river flowing through it,
00:03:22.30\00:03:26.10
it was a land that
was a fruitful land.
00:03:26.13\00:03:29.60
Now, I'm just going to
pause right there for a second.
00:03:29.64\00:03:32.57
That should ring bells for us...
00:03:32.61\00:03:35.14
that should automatically
ring bells for us...
00:03:35.18\00:03:38.75
a fruitful land...
00:03:38.78\00:03:40.12
a land, you know, with a
river flowing through it...
00:03:40.15\00:03:43.12
sounds like Paradise.
00:03:43.15\00:03:44.69
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:03:44.72\00:03:46.05
Ivor: Right? Yvonne: Yes.
00:03:46.09\00:03:47.42
Ivor: Which is what it was...
00:03:47.46\00:03:49.19
we know that Adam and Eve sinned
00:03:49.22\00:03:51.39
and God has to put
Adam and Eve out of Paradise
00:03:51.43\00:03:56.10
but in that... in that act,
00:03:56.13\00:03:59.73
He gives them this
promise in Genesis 3:15,
00:03:59.80\00:04:02.47
and it is... He
is introducing to us
00:04:02.50\00:04:07.21
the Promised
Man... that's Jesus.
00:04:07.24\00:04:10.81
James: Amen.
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:04:10.85\00:04:14.35
Ivor: In Genesis chapter 12,
00:04:14.38\00:04:15.72
we get a little bit
further down in history...
00:04:15.75\00:04:17.62
in Genesis chapter 12,
we see Him calling Abraham
00:04:17.65\00:04:21.19
and what He gives to
Abraham is a new promise,
00:04:21.22\00:04:24.73
this time, it's
of a Promised Land.
00:04:24.76\00:04:27.90
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm.
00:04:27.93\00:04:31.00
Ivor: This Promised Land...
and we see throughout time...
00:04:31.03\00:04:34.90
throughout the book of Exodus,
00:04:34.97\00:04:37.11
is going to be a land flowing
with milk and honey, right?
00:04:37.14\00:04:41.11
I want you to
get the picture here.
00:04:41.14\00:04:42.74
God's ideal is to bring
man into this Promised Land
00:04:42.78\00:04:50.32
that would be a type
of the heavenly kingdom.
00:04:50.35\00:04:54.92
James: Okay. Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:04:54.96\00:04:57.06
Ivor: Right? This is...
this is like an illustration
00:04:57.09\00:05:00.06
of the plan of salvation.
00:05:00.10\00:05:01.43
How do we get from Paradise
lost to Paradise restored?
00:05:01.46\00:05:05.00
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:05:05.03\00:05:07.07
Ivor: Okay, so God calls the
children of Israel out of Egypt,
00:05:07.10\00:05:12.11
they're in captivity 400
years, calls them out of Egypt
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.24
and He's telling them,
00:05:15.28\00:05:17.71
"I'm going to bring you
into the Promised Land... "
00:05:17.78\00:05:21.98
and He begins to describe
all the beautiful things
00:05:22.02\00:05:26.15
about this Promised Land
00:05:26.19\00:05:27.72
and He says
certain things like...
00:05:27.76\00:05:29.09
He gives these
lists of blessings.
00:05:29.12\00:05:30.99
The land will
increase in fruit...
00:05:31.03\00:05:32.79
He tells them, "You
won't get sick in the land. "
00:05:32.86\00:05:36.63
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:05:36.67\00:05:38.10
Ivor: Right? I mean, what
does this sound like to you?
00:05:38.13\00:05:41.07
Yvonne: Heaven. James: Heaven.
00:05:41.10\00:05:43.74
Ivor: Sounds like
heaven. James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:05:43.77\00:05:45.57
Ivor: The Promised Land...
00:05:45.61\00:05:47.08
Man! this is a land that
is flowing with milk and honey
00:05:47.11\00:05:49.71
that says, "I won't put any of
the diseases of Egypt upon you"
00:05:49.74\00:05:52.51
you know, "Your
land will be fruitful...
00:05:52.55\00:05:55.45
you will be fruitful...
00:05:55.48\00:05:56.82
your enemies
will flee from you...
00:05:56.85\00:05:58.19
I'll give you peace... rest... "
00:05:58.22\00:05:59.55
and all these things, right?
00:05:59.59\00:06:00.92
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:06:00.96\00:06:02.29
Ivor: But He gives them
these promises on condition.
00:06:02.32\00:06:04.33
James: Hmmm. Yvonne: Hmmm.
00:06:04.36\00:06:05.69
Ivor: "If you obey me,
00:06:05.73\00:06:08.56
you're going to
realize the Promised Land. "
00:06:08.60\00:06:11.10
James: Yeah.
00:06:11.13\00:06:13.07
Ivor: "If you disobey Me... "
00:06:13.10\00:06:15.20
then He lists out these
curses in Deuteronomy 28.
00:06:15.24\00:06:19.34
James: Yeah. Ivor:
Right? Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:06:19.37\00:06:21.21
Ivor: They're also listed out
in... in the book of Leviticus,
00:06:21.24\00:06:23.58
I believe it's
chapter 23 or 26...
00:06:23.65\00:06:27.62
23... and so, I
want you to get this,
00:06:27.65\00:06:31.59
right now, the Promised Land...
00:06:31.62\00:06:33.32
the Promised Man...
00:06:33.36\00:06:35.72
and the Temple...
in Exodus 20... 25...
00:06:35.76\00:06:39.46
He gives them a sanctuary...
00:06:39.49\00:06:40.96
He gives... He's telling
them of this Promised Land
00:06:41.00\00:06:44.30
and we already are
expecting the Promised Man.
00:06:44.33\00:06:48.87
Now, the Promised
Man is unconditional.
00:06:48.90\00:06:54.74
James: Okay.
00:06:54.78\00:06:56.88
Ivor: The Promised
Land is conditional.
00:06:56.91\00:06:59.05
James: Okay.
00:06:59.11\00:07:00.45
Ivor: Right, the Promised Man
is coming one way or another,
00:07:00.48\00:07:04.75
the Promised Land...
00:07:04.79\00:07:06.79
there's blessings
and there's curses.
00:07:06.82\00:07:09.46
"If you obey, this
is what will happen...
00:07:09.49\00:07:12.46
if you disobey, this
is what will happen... "
00:07:12.49\00:07:15.36
and I want you to just
notice part of the curses here.
00:07:15.43\00:07:17.60
In Leviticus
26... James: 26... 26...
00:07:17.63\00:07:22.84
Ivor: 26... right, verse 14...
00:07:22.87\00:07:25.47
"But if you will
not harken unto me,
00:07:25.51\00:07:27.01
and will not do all
these commandments...
00:07:27.04\00:07:28.68
I will do this unto you;
00:07:28.71\00:07:30.21
I will even appoint
over you terror, consumption,
00:07:30.25\00:07:33.01
and the burning ague, that
shall consume the eyes... "
00:07:33.05\00:07:35.42
I'm going to read on, verse 17,
00:07:35.45\00:07:37.12
"I will set my face against you,
00:07:37.15\00:07:38.59
and ye shall be
slain before your enemies:
00:07:38.62\00:07:40.56
and he that hateth you
shall reign over you... "
00:07:40.59\00:07:42.36
verse 22, "I will also send wild
beasts... s... s... s... s. "
00:07:42.39\00:07:47.40
James: Hmmm...
00:07:47.43\00:07:48.76
Ivor: We're going to
stop right there for a second.
00:07:48.80\00:07:50.13
Yvonne: Oh... ho... ho...
00:07:50.17\00:07:51.50
James: Like bears and
lions and leopards, you mean?
00:07:51.53\00:07:53.44
Ivor: Bears and Lions...
and... and Leopards, right?
00:07:53.47\00:07:55.30
Yvonne: Wow!
00:07:55.34\00:07:56.67
Ivor: I will send
wild beasts among you
00:07:56.71\00:07:59.14
which shall rob
you of your children.
00:07:59.17\00:08:01.24
Are you
catching the significance
00:08:01.28\00:08:03.31
of Daniel 9 right now?
00:08:03.35\00:08:04.68
James: Yeah,
Eunuch. Yvonne: Oh... wow!
00:08:04.71\00:08:07.22
Ivor: We haven't even
opened Daniel 9 up yet...
00:08:07.25\00:08:08.82
James: Daniel was a Eunuch.
00:08:08.85\00:08:10.19
Yvonne: Yeah.
James: He was a Eunuch.
00:08:10.22\00:08:12.05
Ivor: And all of a
sudden, watch this, verse 25,
00:08:12.12\00:08:14.42
"I will bring a sword upon you,
00:08:14.46\00:08:15.96
that shall avenge
the corn of my covenant:
00:08:15.99\00:08:18.19
and when you are gathered
together within your cities,
00:08:18.23\00:08:20.86
I will send
pestilence among you;
00:08:20.90\00:08:22.56
and you shall be delivered
in the hand of your enemy. "
00:08:22.60\00:08:24.57
James: Hmmm... Ivor: Verse 31,
00:08:24.60\00:08:26.30
"I will make your cities waste,
00:08:26.33\00:08:27.97
and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation,
00:08:28.00\00:08:30.77
and I will not smell the
savor of your sweet odours.
00:08:30.81\00:08:34.84
And I will bring the
land into desolation:
00:08:34.88\00:08:37.65
your enemies
shall dwell therein...
00:08:37.68\00:08:39.51
your enemies which dwell therein
shall be astonished at it. "
00:08:39.55\00:08:42.52
Now, watch verse 33,
00:08:42.55\00:08:44.09
"I will scatter you
among the heathen...
00:08:44.12\00:08:47.16
will draw out a sword after you:
00:08:47.19\00:08:49.29
and your land shall be
desolate, and your cities waste.
00:08:49.32\00:08:52.73
Then shall the
land enjoy her sabbaths,
00:08:52.76\00:08:56.90
as long as it lieth desolate,
00:08:56.93\00:09:00.04
and you be in
your enemies' land:
00:09:00.07\00:09:02.80
even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. "
00:09:02.84\00:09:07.28
Now, if... if you understand...
00:09:07.31\00:09:11.61
you already see Daniel in
this prophecy in Leviticus.
00:09:11.68\00:09:16.99
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... he's there.
00:09:17.02\00:09:19.72
Ivor: But check this
out... check this out guys,
00:09:19.75\00:09:23.06
in verse 40, God
gives a "forgiveness clause"
00:09:23.09\00:09:26.36
here's what He says,
00:09:26.39\00:09:28.66
"If they shall
confess their iniquity,
00:09:28.70\00:09:30.97
and the iniquity
of their fathers... "
00:09:31.00\00:09:33.64
ah ha... ha...
ha... I've got to stop.
00:09:33.67\00:09:36.10
James: Hmmm...
Corporate... Corporate.
00:09:36.14\00:09:38.21
Ivor: "if they
confess their iniquity,
00:09:38.27\00:09:40.31
and the iniquity
of their fathers,
00:09:40.34\00:09:42.34
with their trespasses
00:09:42.41\00:09:43.75
which they
trespassed against me,
00:09:43.78\00:09:45.11
and that also they
have walked contrary to me;
00:09:45.15\00:09:48.72
and that I also
walked contrary unto them,
00:09:48.75\00:09:51.29
and have brought them
into the land of their enemies;
00:09:51.32\00:09:54.29
if then their
uncircumcised hearts be humbled,
00:09:54.32\00:09:57.33
and then they accept the
punishment of their iniquity:
00:09:57.36\00:09:59.89
then will I remember
my covenant with Jacob,
00:09:59.93\00:10:03.23
and also my covenant with Isaac,
00:10:03.26\00:10:05.23
and also my covenant
with Abraham will I remember;
00:10:05.27\00:10:07.74
and I will remember the land. "
00:10:07.77\00:10:09.64
James: Hmmm...
hmmm. Yvonne: Hmmm.
00:10:09.67\00:10:11.47
Ivor: Okay, they get
into the Promised Land
00:10:11.51\00:10:15.51
and praise God,
they obey the Lord Jesus
00:10:15.54\00:10:19.51
and none of this happens.
00:10:19.55\00:10:21.75
Yvonne: Laughing.
00:10:21.78\00:10:23.12
James: Ah ha...
what book are you in?
00:10:23.15\00:10:25.15
Let's get back
into the Bible, can we?
00:10:25.19\00:10:27.32
All: Laughter.
00:10:27.36\00:10:29.22
Ivor: What... what happens?
00:10:29.26\00:10:32.96
James: Everything is
fulfilled just as it's outlined
00:10:32.99\00:10:36.20
in Leviticus...
everything is right on target.
00:10:36.23\00:10:40.74
God is a God of His word
00:10:40.77\00:10:42.17
and God keeps His word
00:10:42.20\00:10:43.57
in relationship to
the promises for obedience
00:10:43.61\00:10:46.61
and the
punishments for disobedience.
00:10:46.64\00:10:48.48
Ivor: He is basically laying out
two possible futures for Israel.
00:10:48.51\00:10:53.65
James: To choose.
00:10:53.68\00:10:55.02
Ivor: You can
choose. James: Yeah.
00:10:55.05\00:10:57.49
Ivor: In fact, James,
00:10:57.52\00:10:58.92
you remember that when
they get into the Promised Land,
00:10:58.95\00:11:01.39
He has six of the
tribes go on Mount Ebal
00:11:01.42\00:11:03.93
and six of the
tribes on Mount Gerizim
00:11:03.96\00:11:06.63
and the blessings
are placed on Gerizim
00:11:06.66\00:11:09.26
and the curses on Ebal
00:11:09.30\00:11:10.70
and He's saying, "Look,
choose which one you want...
00:11:10.77\00:11:12.90
which future do you want?"
00:11:12.93\00:11:14.34
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Ivor: Okay...
00:11:14.37\00:11:17.17
they choose the
curses... what happens?
00:11:17.21\00:11:19.97
Wild beasts enter Eden.
00:11:20.01\00:11:24.21
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm.
00:11:24.25\00:11:25.98
Ivor: The Promised Land...
00:11:26.01\00:11:27.35
James: The Promised Land flowing
with milk and honey, wow!
00:11:27.38\00:11:29.65
Ivor: The land
flowing with milk...
00:11:29.68\00:11:31.39
they never realized this miracle
land that is supposed to happen.
00:11:31.42\00:11:35.82
They end up among
the lions in Babylon.
00:11:35.86\00:11:40.83
When we get to
Daniel 9, let's just go...
00:11:40.90\00:11:45.83
let me do this...
00:11:45.87\00:11:47.20
we're going to read
Daniel 9 now and James...
00:11:47.24\00:11:50.04
you can go ahead and...
and you can just build on this.
00:11:50.11\00:11:52.74
James: I want to build
on this, yeah, go ahead.
00:11:52.77\00:11:57.21
Ivor: What happens at the
end... because Daniel prays
00:11:57.25\00:12:01.05
from verse one to verse 23.
00:12:01.08\00:12:03.02
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:12:03.08\00:12:04.42
Ivor: What happens in verse 24?
00:12:04.45\00:12:07.39
James: Ooooh... Ivor: Ooooh...
00:12:07.42\00:12:10.33
James: There
is... Yvonne: Laughing.
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.79
Ivor: What is the time prophecy?
00:12:12.83\00:12:15.36
What are the numbers
in this time prophecy?
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.47
Yvonne: 70 weeks.
00:12:17.50\00:12:19.83
Ivor: 70... what is a week?
00:12:19.87\00:12:22.37
James: A week equal 7
years. Ivor: Or 7 days.
00:12:22.40\00:12:27.54
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:12:27.58\00:12:28.91
Ivor: Yeah, so
seventy times seven...
00:12:28.94\00:12:32.65
why is that number significant?
00:12:32.71\00:12:36.32
James: Because
Jesus... go ahead.
00:12:36.35\00:12:38.85
Jason: Is it the forgiveness...
00:12:38.89\00:12:41.32
James: Yes... yeah, Jesus points
to it in... in Matthew 18...
00:12:41.36\00:12:46.03
Jason: How many
times must I forgive?
00:12:46.06\00:12:47.86
James: Yes... and...
00:12:47.90\00:12:50.50
and He's pointing
not to a specific number,
00:12:50.53\00:12:52.37
He's pointing to the
longsuffering of God...
00:12:52.40\00:12:54.17
the willingness of God to
forgive and remit the punishment
00:12:54.20\00:12:58.91
and to recover us
from that punishment.
00:12:58.94\00:13:00.78
You know, Ivor, I want
to pick up with this...
00:13:00.84\00:13:03.48
Jason, please read
for us this first verse
00:13:03.51\00:13:06.11
and start with the first verse.
00:13:06.15\00:13:07.48
Jason: Okay, "In
the first year of Darius
00:13:07.52\00:13:10.05
the son of... "
how do you say that?
00:13:10.09\00:13:13.66
"Ahasuerus, of the
lineage of the Medes,
00:13:13.72\00:13:17.23
who was made king over the
realm of the Chaldeans... "
00:13:17.26\00:13:19.83
James: Okay, I
want to stop right there
00:13:19.86\00:13:21.23
because, Ivor, you just
mentioned something about
00:13:21.26\00:13:23.33
all these promises and
one of the promises was
00:13:23.37\00:13:25.40
that they would be the
head and not the tail, right?
00:13:25.43\00:13:28.40
They'd be the
head and not the tail
00:13:28.44\00:13:29.80
so, in the first year of
Darius, Daniel is praying.
00:13:29.84\00:13:33.74
Daniel is
praying for understanding
00:13:33.78\00:13:36.54
but he's going to pray a prayer
that was just outlined for us
00:13:36.58\00:13:39.95
by Ivor in relation to Leviticus
chapter 26 and verse 40,
00:13:40.02\00:13:43.35
he's going to pray a
prayer of forgiveness.
00:13:43.39\00:13:45.35
He's going to ask
God not just for himself
00:13:45.39\00:13:47.22
but for his fathers...
it's a corporate prayer
00:13:47.26\00:13:49.02
and we'll get into
that in more detail
00:13:49.06\00:13:50.39
and part of the promise was
00:13:50.43\00:13:51.83
that they would be
the head and not the tail.
00:13:51.89\00:13:53.50
Now, I want you to slip
back, we just read this...
00:13:53.56\00:13:55.20
in the first
year of... what? Who?
00:13:55.23\00:13:56.56
Jason: Darius.
00:13:56.60\00:13:57.97
James: Now, I want you to
slip back just a couple of pages
00:13:58.00\00:13:59.70
to chapter 6...
Daniel chapter 6...
00:13:59.73\00:14:02.34
you there? Daniel chapter 6,
00:14:02.37\00:14:04.67
okay, now read... read again...
read that first verse, Jason.
00:14:04.71\00:14:08.08
Jason: "It pleased
Darius... " James: Who?
00:14:08.11\00:14:11.25
Jason:
Darius... James: Darius...
00:14:11.28\00:14:12.95
Darius is the king and
he's setting up his kingdom,
00:14:12.98\00:14:17.59
read the rest of the verse.
00:14:17.62\00:14:19.15
Jason: Okay, "to
set over the kingdom
00:14:19.19\00:14:20.66
one hundred and twenty satraps,
to be over the whole kingdom. "
00:14:20.69\00:14:25.16
James: Keep reading.
00:14:25.19\00:14:26.53
Jason: "and over
these, three governors,
00:14:26.56\00:14:27.90
of whom Daniel was one. "
00:14:27.93\00:14:29.66
James: Okay. Jason: All right...
00:14:29.70\00:14:32.00
"that the satraps
might give account to them,
00:14:32.03\00:14:34.70
so that the king
would suffer no loss. "
00:14:34.74\00:14:37.31
James: Verse 3.
00:14:37.34\00:14:38.67
Jason: Then this
Daniel distinguished himself
00:14:38.71\00:14:40.38
above the governors and satraps,
00:14:40.41\00:14:42.14
because an
excellent spirit was in him;
00:14:42.18\00:14:44.71
and the king gave thought
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.31
to setting him
over the whole realm. "
00:14:46.35\00:14:48.68
James: What?
What did God promise?
00:14:48.72\00:14:50.95
He promised that His
people would be the head
00:14:50.99\00:14:53.66
and not the tail,
okay, if they would obey Him.
00:14:53.69\00:14:56.32
That promise cannot fail...
00:14:56.36\00:14:58.33
though the whole
nation apostatized from God,
00:14:58.36\00:15:01.50
that promise cannot fail.
00:15:01.53\00:15:02.86
So, Daniel sets his face
00:15:03.93\00:15:05.27
to allow God to
establish that promise in him.
00:15:05.30\00:15:08.90
He's in Babylon
and then Medo-Persia...
00:15:08.94\00:15:12.17
Daniel is...
right? Yvonne: Right.
00:15:12.21\00:15:13.78
James: But will
God's promises fail
00:15:13.81\00:15:15.31
even though the
nation has failed?
00:15:15.34\00:15:16.75
Jason: No...
look... look at Joseph.
00:15:16.78\00:15:18.15
James: Look at Joseph...
00:15:18.18\00:15:20.48
we... we see this all
the way through the Bible
00:15:20.52\00:15:22.52
and so, here's now...
here's another connection.
00:15:22.58\00:15:24.55
As soon as
Darius starts thinking
00:15:24.59\00:15:28.19
about putting Daniel first,
00:15:28.22\00:15:29.82
which is... in a sense... a
fulfillment of God's promises,
00:15:29.86\00:15:32.16
the rest of the leaders
conspire against him, right?
00:15:32.19\00:15:38.13
They start
conspiring against him
00:15:38.20\00:15:40.30
and they come up with a
plan that's inspired by Satan.
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.67
"We need to pass a
law that no man can
00:15:42.70\00:15:47.58
pray... "
00:15:47.61\00:15:49.28
right? remember that?
00:15:49.34\00:15:51.15
We're going to pass a
law that no man can pray
00:15:51.18\00:15:52.98
to any God except to Darius.
00:15:53.01\00:15:54.78
What is Daniel
doing in Daniel chapter 9?
00:15:54.82\00:15:57.25
Yvonne: Praying. Jason: Praying.
00:15:57.29\00:15:58.62
James: He's
getting ready to pray...
00:15:58.65\00:15:59.99
he is getting ready
to set his heart, right?
00:16:00.02\00:16:02.86
To pray... so, it's not
just that Daniel's praying
00:16:02.92\00:16:05.83
in Daniel chapter 6...
00:16:05.86\00:16:07.20
you know, it's not
just that Daniel is praying,
00:16:07.23\00:16:09.33
there's a context to his prayer.
00:16:09.36\00:16:11.27
You see, it's not just
that Satan is trying to stop him
00:16:11.30\00:16:13.34
from praying.
00:16:13.37\00:16:14.74
Of course, Satan's
trying to stop us from praying
00:16:14.80\00:16:16.20
but there's a
context to the prayer.
00:16:16.24\00:16:18.21
This is a specific
prayer at a specific time
00:16:18.24\00:16:22.24
for a specific goal
00:16:22.38\00:16:23.71
and the goal that
Daniel is seeking to understand
00:16:23.75\00:16:27.05
is the 70 week...
2300-day prophecy.
00:16:27.08\00:16:30.29
He set in his heart... and
the thing that God is doing
00:16:30.32\00:16:33.42
He's working on
Darius to fulfill His promise
00:16:33.46\00:16:36.76
to all of Israel... to
all of Judah through Daniel.
00:16:36.83\00:16:39.09
"You're going to be the
head and not the tail. "
00:16:39.13\00:16:41.36
You see all the factors that
are coming to play right here
00:16:41.40\00:16:43.87
in the book of Daniel?
00:16:43.90\00:16:45.23
Jason: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:16:45.27\00:16:46.60
Yvonne: So, Daniel is now
working for a new administration
00:16:46.63\00:16:50.61
a new government
00:16:50.64\00:16:52.57
but he's placed in
a place of prominence
00:16:52.61\00:16:56.24
in that new administration.
00:16:56.28\00:16:58.45
James: Yes.
00:16:58.48\00:16:59.91
Yvonne: So, he was
carried over which is unusual...
00:16:59.95\00:17:02.42
James: Very unusual.
00:17:02.45\00:17:03.79
Yvonne: from the old to the new.
00:17:03.82\00:17:05.39
James: Because an
excellent spirit was in him.
00:17:05.42\00:17:07.56
Yvonne: and placed at the top.
00:17:07.59\00:17:09.02
James: Yeah, he
was placed on the top
00:17:09.06\00:17:11.26
and then the king's
thinking about putting...
00:17:11.29\00:17:12.79
he's at top three
00:17:12.83\00:17:14.16
and then the king's
thinking about putting him
00:17:14.20\00:17:15.53
at the very top
because he trusts him...
00:17:15.56\00:17:17.33
he trusts him.
00:17:17.37\00:17:18.70
This is a
fulfillment of God's word though
00:17:18.73\00:17:20.20
because God's working on Darius.
00:17:20.24\00:17:21.57
Yvonne: Yes.
00:17:21.60\00:17:22.94
James: Remember he
goes through the...
00:17:22.97\00:17:24.31
we went through this
already but remember when Darius
00:17:24.34\00:17:25.67
is forced to put
Daniel in the Lion's Den,
00:17:25.71\00:17:29.84
he says to Daniel...
"They God whom thou servest... "
00:17:29.91\00:17:33.18
anyone knows the word?
00:17:33.21\00:17:34.62
All: Continually...
00:17:34.65\00:17:35.98
James: Right? Continual...
the continual is taken away...
00:17:36.02\00:17:38.72
you... so... "He
is able to deliver"
00:17:38.75\00:17:41.26
see, Darius' heart has
been softened by the Holy Spirit
00:17:41.29\00:17:43.76
and there are leaders and there
are rulers in our world today
00:17:43.79\00:17:46.39
whose hearts are being
softened by the Holy Spirit
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.40
and God's word
will be fulfilled today
00:17:48.43\00:17:51.27
as verily it was
fulfilled with Daniel.
00:17:51.30\00:17:54.10
Jason: Hmmm... Yvonne: Yes.
00:17:54.14\00:17:55.47
James: We need to be
about our Father's business...
00:17:55.50\00:17:57.17
we need to be about prayer
00:17:57.21\00:17:58.71
and not just any old prayer...
00:17:58.74\00:18:00.18
if you look in Daniel chapter
9, let's just go back there
00:18:00.21\00:18:03.45
and let's keep reading...
Yvonne, would you read for us
00:18:03.51\00:18:06.72
verses 2 all the
way down to verse 5.
00:18:06.75\00:18:11.49
Yvonne: Sure, "In the
first year of his reign,
00:18:11.52\00:18:14.69
I, Daniel,
understood by the books
00:18:14.72\00:18:16.73
the number of the years
00:18:16.79\00:18:18.13
specified by
the word of the Lord
00:18:18.16\00:18:19.89
through Jeremiah the prophet,
00:18:19.93\00:18:21.76
that He would
accomplish seventy years
00:18:21.80\00:18:24.37
in the desolations of Jerusalem.
00:18:24.40\00:18:26.20
Then I set my face toward
the Lord God to make request
00:18:26.23\00:18:29.94
by prayer and supplications,
00:18:29.97\00:18:31.67
with fasting,
sackcloth, and ashes.
00:18:31.71\00:18:34.28
And I prayed to the Lord
my God, and made confession,
00:18:34.31\00:18:37.58
and said, 'O Lord,
great and awesome God,
00:18:37.61\00:18:39.85
who keeps His covenant and
mercy with those who love Him,
00:18:39.88\00:18:43.12
and with those who
keep His commandments,
00:18:43.15\00:18:45.65
we have sinned and
committed iniquity,
00:18:45.69\00:18:48.02
we have done
wickedly and rebelled,
00:18:48.06\00:18:50.33
even by departing from Your
precepts and Your judgments. '"
00:18:50.36\00:18:53.83
James: Okay, there
are three key factors here
00:18:53.86\00:18:56.06
that I want us to
consider in this prayer
00:18:56.10\00:18:58.03
and we're going to see
it all the way through.
00:18:58.07\00:18:59.43
Number one, we see this
as a prayer of humility.
00:18:59.47\00:19:03.87
Daniel is humbling
himself before the Lord.
00:19:03.91\00:19:06.51
He's acknowledging
that he doesn't get...
00:19:06.54\00:19:08.94
he doesn't understand.
00:19:08.98\00:19:10.48
In fact, at the end of
the prayer when Gabriel comes,
00:19:10.51\00:19:12.25
he says, "I've come to
give you understanding. "
00:19:12.28\00:19:14.68
So, Daniel in... in chapter
8... the very last verse here,
00:19:14.72\00:19:17.95
it says that Daniel fainted
and he was sick certain days
00:19:17.99\00:19:20.59
and afterward, he rose up
and did the king's business,
00:19:20.62\00:19:23.19
and was
astonished at the vision,
00:19:23.22\00:19:25.23
but none understood it.
00:19:25.29\00:19:26.63
James: We need to be
willing to acknowledge
00:19:26.66\00:19:29.50
that we don't always understand.
00:19:29.53\00:19:30.87
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:19:30.90\00:19:32.37
Jason: That's why I'm a
student on this Program...
00:19:32.40\00:19:34.64
because I don't understand.
00:19:34.67\00:19:37.17
All: Laughter.
00:19:37.21\00:19:38.94
James: That... that is
easy for you to say now
00:19:38.97\00:19:41.48
but ten years from
now... twenty years from now...
00:19:41.54\00:19:44.01
if the Lord should tarry,
00:19:44.05\00:19:45.38
it's going to be a
little bit more challenging
00:19:45.41\00:19:47.05
because as we go on in
our Christian experience,
00:19:47.08\00:19:49.45
the more we learn, the
more susceptible we are
00:19:49.48\00:19:51.85
to be proud...
to be opinionated...
00:19:51.89\00:19:54.26
to be... to be dependent on our
knowledge... our education...
00:19:54.29\00:19:57.63
Daniel for some reason
continued to be dependent on God
00:19:57.66\00:20:01.16
for wisdom.
00:20:01.20\00:20:02.56
He never got to the
place where he was like,
00:20:02.60\00:20:04.03
"Wait a minute... wait a
minute, I can figure this out. "
00:20:04.07\00:20:05.60
He's going to the Word of God
00:20:05.63\00:20:07.27
and he's acknowledging
that he can't understand.
00:20:07.30\00:20:09.04
The second thing he's doing
00:20:09.07\00:20:10.41
is he's humbling
himself in action.
00:20:10.44\00:20:12.61
He's praying... he's fasting...
00:20:12.64\00:20:14.78
he's afflicting his soul
00:20:14.81\00:20:16.24
and the third thing
that he's doing is...
00:20:16.28\00:20:18.41
he's having this
Corporate attitude.
00:20:18.45\00:20:20.45
He's not saying, "Oh, you know,
the rest of those Israelites...
00:20:20.48\00:20:22.55
oh the rest of Judah...
all those other people...
00:20:22.58\00:20:24.29
they're all in
apostasy but not me.
00:20:24.32\00:20:25.89
I actually deserve your favor...
00:20:25.95\00:20:27.39
Man! I am following
the health message...
00:20:27.42\00:20:29.02
I'm doing everything you... "
00:20:29.06\00:20:30.93
no... he includes
himself... "We have sinned... "
00:20:30.96\00:20:33.60
that Corporate
attitude that he has
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.50
is carried all the
way through his prayer...
00:20:36.53\00:20:38.73
I think that word
"we" or "us" is...
00:20:38.77\00:20:40.50
is mentioned or repeated about
12 times in Daniel chapter 9.
00:20:40.54\00:20:44.31
"We... we... we...
us... us... us... "
00:20:44.34\00:20:46.44
we have a "them"
and "us" attitude
00:20:46.47\00:20:48.51
and we need to have
a Corporate attitude.
00:20:48.54\00:20:50.45
That means, we're
part of all of this...
00:20:50.48\00:20:52.31
that's what Jesus revealed to us
when He was baptized, you know,
00:20:52.35\00:20:54.98
John the Baptist said,
00:20:55.02\00:20:56.35
"I... I... I'm not
even worthy to touch Your...
00:20:56.38\00:20:57.99
Your shoelaces... Your...
the latches of Your shoes"
00:20:58.05\00:21:01.09
and Jesus says,
"We need to do this now
00:21:01.12\00:21:03.19
so that we can
fulfill all righteousness. "
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.23
Jesus wasn't baptized
because He was a sinner...
00:21:05.26\00:21:07.90
He was baptized because
He identified with sinners.
00:21:07.93\00:21:10.53
All: Yes... hmmm...
00:21:10.57\00:21:11.90
James: He went through all
the steps to identify with us
00:21:11.93\00:21:13.47
in every way
00:21:13.50\00:21:15.00
and we need to identify
with our brothers and sisters,
00:21:15.07\00:21:16.81
whoever they
are... wherever they are
00:21:16.87\00:21:18.61
and when we fail to do this,
we fall short of the glory...
00:21:18.64\00:21:22.04
the character of God...
00:21:22.08\00:21:23.41
the way that
Christ carried Himself
00:21:23.45\00:21:24.81
when He was on this earth
00:21:24.85\00:21:26.25
and then finally, we
haven't gotten to this verse yet
00:21:26.28\00:21:28.92
but I'm just going to
jump ahead to do it...
00:21:28.98\00:21:30.32
finally, Daniel
in his prayer says...
00:21:30.35\00:21:33.02
and I'm looking at
this here in verse 17,
00:21:33.05\00:21:35.72
he says, "Now,
therefore, O our God,
00:21:35.79\00:21:38.83
hear the prayer of thy
servant, and his supplications,
00:21:38.89\00:21:41.96
and cause Thy face to shine upon
Thy sanctuary that is desolate,
00:21:42.00\00:21:45.13
for the Lord's sake. "
00:21:45.17\00:21:48.30
Verse 18...
00:21:48.34\00:21:49.67
"O my God, incline
Thine ear, and hear...
00:21:49.70\00:21:52.04
and open thine eyes,
and behold our desolations,
00:21:52.07\00:21:54.48
and the city which
is called by Thy name:
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.24
for we do not present
our supplications before thee
00:21:56.28\00:22:00.12
for our righteousness's,
but for Thy great mercies. "
00:22:00.15\00:22:03.99
It's all about God...
00:22:04.02\00:22:05.72
it's all about God.
00:22:05.75\00:22:07.42
Daniel has a
Corporate attitude...
00:22:07.46\00:22:09.76
Daniel has an
attitude of humility...
00:22:09.79\00:22:12.06
humility of knowledge...
00:22:12.09\00:22:13.60
Daniel has
actions that parallel...
00:22:13.63\00:22:15.96
that are in harmony
with this attitude...
00:22:16.03\00:22:18.60
he fasts... he
prays... he supplicates...
00:22:18.63\00:22:21.10
he humbles himself... and
Daniel is all about God's glory.
00:22:21.17\00:22:24.67
This isn't about us...
00:22:24.71\00:22:26.04
this Program is not about us.
00:22:26.07\00:22:27.48
This Station is not about
us... this is all about Jesus.
00:22:27.51\00:22:31.01
It's about God's glory...
00:22:31.05\00:22:32.61
it's about
presenting to the world
00:22:32.65\00:22:34.85
the matchless
charms of Jesus Christ.
00:22:34.88\00:22:36.82
All: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:22:36.85\00:22:38.19
James: That's the
focus that Daniel has
00:22:38.22\00:22:39.55
and that's the focus that...
that God wants us to have
00:22:39.59\00:22:41.56
and when we have
that focus, what happens?
00:22:41.59\00:22:43.43
Daniel chapter 9 and verse 23...
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.80
wasn't there
something there Ivor,
00:22:46.83\00:22:49.86
that I thought you
were bringing out...
00:22:49.90\00:22:51.23
I'm not sure what
it was but.. but...
00:22:51.27\00:22:52.60
but let's give it back to
you and see... see what it is.
00:22:52.63\00:22:55.64
Ivor: Well, let... let it...
00:22:55.67\00:22:58.34
can I have someone just go
back and read verse 11 to 13?
00:22:58.37\00:23:01.64
James: Okay... who
wants to read those verses?
00:23:01.68\00:23:05.38
Jason: 11 to 13? James: Yeah.
00:23:05.41\00:23:07.02
Jason: "Yes, all Israel
has transgressed Your law,
00:23:07.05\00:23:09.88
and has departed so as
not to obey Your voice;
00:23:09.92\00:23:12.69
therefore the curse and the
oath written in the Law of Moses
00:23:12.72\00:23:16.73
the servant of God
have been poured out on us,
00:23:16.76\00:23:19.09
because we have
sinned against Him.
00:23:19.13\00:23:20.90
And He has confirmed His
words, which He spoke against us
00:23:20.93\00:23:24.53
and against our
judges who judged us,
00:23:24.57\00:23:27.07
by bringing upon
us a great disaster;
00:23:27.10\00:23:29.50
for under the whole
heaven such has never been done
00:23:29.54\00:23:32.87
as what has been
done to Jerusalem.
00:23:32.91\00:23:35.48
As it is written
in the Law of Moses,
00:23:35.54\00:23:38.11
all this
disaster has come upon us;
00:23:38.15\00:23:40.65
yet we have not made our
prayer before the Lord our God,
00:23:40.68\00:23:44.22
that we might turn
from our iniquities
00:23:44.25\00:23:46.65
and understand Your truth. "
00:23:46.69\00:23:49.02
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:23:49.06\00:23:50.39
Ivor: So, I mean, I
want you to notice here
00:23:50.43\00:23:53.09
how the 70 weeks...
00:23:53.13\00:23:55.96
I mean, 70 years
is here connected...
00:23:56.00\00:24:00.67
it's in the same chapter, right?
00:24:00.74\00:24:03.24
Remember earlier that you read,
Jason, in verse 2 of Daniel,
00:24:03.30\00:24:06.88
"he understood by the
books the number of years
00:24:06.91\00:24:09.21
whereof the word of God
came to Jeremiah the prophet,
00:24:09.24\00:24:11.91
that he would
accomplish seventy years
00:24:11.95\00:24:13.38
in the
desolations of Jerusalem... "
00:24:13.42\00:24:14.82
Jason: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:24:14.85\00:24:16.28
Ivor: So,
you've got the 70 years
00:24:16.32\00:24:18.59
and the 70 weeks
in the same chapter.
00:24:18.62\00:24:21.06
James: Okay. Ivor: Right?
00:24:21.09\00:24:22.42
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Ivor: The 70 years...
00:24:22.46\00:24:23.89
this is a result
of your rebellion...
00:24:23.93\00:24:25.89
the 70 weeks... 70 times 7...
00:24:25.93\00:24:29.46
when we turn our
face to the Lord...
00:24:29.53\00:24:31.50
when we focus upon the Lord...
00:24:31.53\00:24:33.17
when we come to the Lord in that
genuine spirit of repentance,
00:24:33.20\00:24:36.30
He offers to us
this forgiveness...
00:24:36.34\00:24:39.54
so, what we're going to see
is that this 70-Week prophecy
00:24:39.57\00:24:44.88
is God giving Israel a
second chance to realize
00:24:44.91\00:24:51.52
the fulfillment
of the Promised Land.
00:24:51.55\00:24:54.49
James: Amen...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:24:54.52\00:24:57.39
Ivor: And the way they're going
to realize that fulfillment,
00:24:57.43\00:24:59.76
is by the coming
of the promised Man.
00:24:59.79\00:25:03.40
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:25:03.43\00:25:04.77
Ivor: So, I'm going
to allow you back into...
00:25:04.80\00:25:07.84
back into Jerusalem...
00:25:07.87\00:25:09.20
I'm going to allow
you to rebuild the temple
00:25:09.24\00:25:12.41
and when you begin to
read these prophecies of Isaiah
00:25:12.47\00:25:16.95
and Zechariah and
Ezekiel about this temple
00:25:16.98\00:25:20.88
and Haggai... about this temple
00:25:20.92\00:25:22.98
that the glory of
God is going to fill
00:25:23.02\00:25:25.45
and all these promises of... of
Gentiles coming up to Jerusalem
00:25:25.49\00:25:31.66
and... and it being
the center of all glory...
00:25:31.69\00:25:35.03
the center of the
glory of the whole world,
00:25:35.06\00:25:39.63
this is what could
have been Israel's future
00:25:39.67\00:25:44.21
had they
accepted the promised Man.
00:25:44.24\00:25:47.01
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:25:47.08\00:25:49.78
Ivor: Like we don't
realize what could have happened
00:25:49.81\00:25:56.48
had the nation of Israel
accepted Christ as the Messiah,
00:25:56.52\00:26:03.16
we... when we read
these prophecies in Isaiah
00:26:03.19\00:26:06.06
and Jeremiah...
of all this glory
00:26:06.09\00:26:08.90
and the Gentiles
shall come unto thee
00:26:08.96\00:26:11.70
and one shall grab
you by the skirt and say,
00:26:11.73\00:26:14.50
"Are you... " you know...
00:26:14.54\00:26:15.87
"Are you one that worships God?
We want to go up with you. "
00:26:15.90\00:26:18.01
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:26:18.04\00:26:19.97
Ivor: None of that is realized
00:26:20.01\00:26:23.24
because of what
ends up happening
00:26:23.28\00:26:26.45
in this final extension
of God's mercy to His people.
00:26:26.48\00:26:31.79
James: Hmmm...
00:26:31.82\00:26:33.15
Ivor: And this is
what we will see unfold
00:26:33.19\00:26:36.19
as we look at the
70-Week prophecy...
00:26:36.22\00:26:39.43
why He's talking about the city
00:26:39.46\00:26:42.50
and the temple being
destroyed one last time
00:26:42.53\00:26:46.67
because of their
rejection of the Prince
00:26:46.74\00:26:50.84
that was prophesied to come.
00:26:50.87\00:26:53.48
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Wow!
00:26:53.54\00:26:56.11
James: It's interesting
what you're saying here because
00:26:56.14\00:26:57.68
we might see a parallel
to that in the end of time
00:26:57.71\00:27:00.75
with those two
cycles again coming in
00:27:00.78\00:27:04.55
and the focus being on
the cleansing of the temple
00:27:04.59\00:27:07.32
the first time...
Millerite Movement
00:27:07.36\00:27:09.82
and then the second
time... End-time Movement.
00:27:09.86\00:27:11.99
God is so gracious
00:27:12.03\00:27:13.86
and He has done so
much for us in Jesus Christ
00:27:13.90\00:27:17.30
that it behooves us
to be cognizant of...
00:27:17.33\00:27:22.87
how God has dealt with
His people in the end of time,
00:27:22.90\00:27:24.87
we've got to look
at that history...
00:27:24.91\00:27:26.24
the 70 weeks... the 70 years...
00:27:26.27\00:27:27.61
bring it all
together... which Daniel does
00:27:27.64\00:27:29.54
and then, I just love this...
00:27:29.58\00:27:31.28
the attitude that Daniel has
00:27:31.31\00:27:32.95
and the way that God
responds to that attitude...
00:27:33.01\00:27:35.48
it's so
powerful... it's so beautiful.
00:27:35.52\00:27:37.49
When Gabriel comes
to Daniel, he says,
00:27:37.52\00:27:39.89
"Daniel, you are
greatly beloved... "
00:27:39.92\00:27:42.26
Yvonne: Oh, I love that.
00:27:42.29\00:27:43.63
James: "You are
greatly beloved. "
00:27:43.66\00:27:44.99
Jason: Hmmm... Yvonne: Yes.
00:27:45.03\00:27:46.36
James: That is just... that's
just got to touch your heart
00:27:46.39\00:27:47.73
because Daniel has
a Corporate attitude
00:27:47.76\00:27:49.76
and God is speaking to
Daniel as He's speaking to us
00:27:49.80\00:27:52.53
and He's speaking
to every single Viewer
00:27:52.57\00:27:54.24
out there right now...
00:27:54.27\00:27:55.60
every single person is
greatly beloved of God.
00:27:55.64\00:27:58.07
Yvonne: Yes.
Jason: Hmmm... hmmm.
00:27:58.11\00:27:59.57
