Profit Way and we're looking at God's dream for us. We're looking at 00:00:25.29\00:00:31.13 the dream that God gave Daniel and maybe can answer in Daniel Chapter 2 and were. 00:00:31.13\00:00:37.23 >> We just came through. We just read up to the part where Daniel 00:00:37.23\00:00:41.27 Reese reveals the meaning the interpretation of the dream. And we're going we're going to 00:00:41.27\00:00:46.44 follow this up and get some more thoughts from Pastor Daniel on this in just a few moments us be 00:00:46.44\00:00:51.95 passed. I keep saying they were studying on the brain. who is like Daniel in many 00:00:51.95\00:00:59.69 ways and he's got a great They're dead pass to Daniel Pear, Hugo, appreciate yes, 00:00:59.69\00:01:02.92 amen.

Or you can email your questions 00:01:18.47\00:01:29.72 to us. >> Live that's Alive III at 3 ABM DOT TV. Again, that's a 00:01:29.72\00:01:33.49 live at 3, a B in DOT TV. Send us those questions. I got one for you right here that this 00:01:33.49\00:01:39.39 is coming from New Orleans, Louisiana, John, from New Orleans. He he actually sent a 00:01:39.39\00:01:44.07 couple of questions on answer. I asked the first one. He says what was Daniels relationship 00:01:44.07\00:01:48.90 to beacon as are at the time of this meeting? How long have the key known, Daniel, if at 00:01:48.90\00:01:54.58 all, and could that have played a part in the key? Not saying I 00:01:54.58\00:02:01.25 don't want to hear it, kill them >> So I don't it doesn't. Nothing indicates that the 00:02:01.25\00:02:05.35 Cain knew Daniel before this time, OK, in fact, what we're told here in Daniel Chapter 00:02:05.35\00:02:08.42 one is that the Daniel and his friends were taken into the King's Palace and they would 00:02:08.42\00:02:16.50 be trained for 3 years. And it appears if you look at this, that they're in the middle of 00:02:16.50\00:02:21.47 this training and that's why they're not part of the weizmann yet. But the reason 00:02:21.47\00:02:25.54 they're included in the decree is because they're being trained 00:02:25.54\00:02:28.88 to be part of the weizmann. So it seems like they're not given the opportunity to dance the 00:02:28.88\00:02:33.01 dream and probably a wise man like I don't get those guys in here. They don't know anything. 00:02:33.01\00:02:36.92 They're still in training. At same time, the king says I want gone, which somehow 00:02:36.92\00:02:41.89 includes Friends. Right? And what is interesting is is that maybe can has or has the 00:02:41.89\00:02:46.80 stream in the second year. His reign, Daniel is in training for 3 years. So it seems to 00:02:46.80\00:02:51.23 indicate here that this is 2 years into Daniels trainee at the end of the 3 years, Daniel 00:02:51.23\00:02:57.91 is brought in before the King with his with friends and tested 00:02:57.91\00:03:03.38 and it says there, Daniel Chapter one because we one is kind of give you know you the 00:03:03.38\00:03:06.15 whole thing Daniels who is going back into that second year in Daniel Chapter one. says that, 00:03:06.15\00:03:13.12 you know, males are takes away the portion verse 16, the portion of the meet the wind. 00:03:13.12\00:03:16.49 That's another story we haven't got into that yet. And as for these 4 children, God gave 00:03:16.49\00:03:21.10 them knowledge and skill learning and wisdom. And Daniel 00:03:21.10\00:03:24.60 had understanding innovations and drink. So the end of the days when he goes in before the 00:03:24.60\00:03:28.80 king, that's when the king already knows him, right? That's when the king and that's and the 00:03:28.80\00:03:33.64 reason why that verse as he had understanding visions dream. So that must this must Daniels 00:03:33.64\00:03:38.75 have too much already happen? OK? Alright, and yet Daniels back to finish his training 00:03:38.75\00:03:41.65 right? And when he comes out of that, the Kings already impressed with him. Right like 00:03:41.65\00:03:45.55 yet. This guy has already help me out. So it appears and asked that question. Appears 00:03:45.55\00:03:49.62 the King didn't know him previously. He gets introduced him. Now, here's the way. I'd 00:03:49.62\00:03:54.96 like to answer the question about how he said why did the king to say want to hear from 00:03:54.96\00:03:57.20 just All right. The king's desperate, yes. And when you are desperate human being, you 00:03:57.20\00:04:03.47 will try anything and everything. And we know the kings desperate. You know, 00:04:03.47\00:04:07.38 it's only going to be a desperate team that's going to wipe out his whole Cabinet. 00:04:07.38\00:04:09.91 All right. I mean, that's a desperate move right there. I think that move is not like I 00:04:09.91\00:04:14.78 want to really kill them. But like I'm really get I want to know on serious, serious. 00:04:14.78\00:04:20.56 Yeah. so that's my that would I? That's how I see it. It's not a spy, but there's a lot 00:04:20.56\00:04:25.96 of evidence that indicates absolutely I got got you've got time for one more? Yes, 00:04:25.96\00:04:29.16 alright. Here we go to a mall as to all the question. Okay. All right. Take a little 00:04:29.16\00:04:33.94 skits. Get people sending questions all right, OK, I like impressions will keep 00:04:33.94\00:04:37.07 because we've got we're going to keep continue to write. You that 00:04:37.07\00:04:40.64 says send in your questions, ready for them. All right. Here we go. >> This dispersant is 00:04:40.64\00:04:45.51 also. What was the emotional state of the keen to make such a rash move and destroy and 00:04:45.51\00:04:50.02 destroy his entire Cabinet. Could it be that the key knew he had made a bad move by 00:04:50.02\00:04:56.06 ordering the deaths of all the wise man. He regretted it but couldn't go back on his word 00:04:56.06\00:05:00.66 and was looking and hoping for a way to get out of that in a of that order, an imprint of 00:05:00.66\00:05:08.37 seasons. And this is why he's so quickly agreed to hear from Daniel and give him time. So 00:05:08.37\00:05:14.44 he realized his mistake and Daniels come to kind of say the situation because it kind 00:05:14.44\00:05:16.75 of regretted, you know, giving that which I thought on that. We definitely see that with 00:05:16.75\00:05:20.78 the story of Daniel Lines. 10, okay. The FCA Darrius King regrets the decision that he's 00:05:20.78\00:05:27.79 made that puts Daniel in a place of jeopardy. He wants to go back in it, but he can't 00:05:27.79\00:05:32.23 write. I'm not sure we see that. We know he can have his wife yet. When you go to 00:05:32.23\00:05:36.16 Daniel Chapter 3 and will get maybe touch on that a little bit. And fiery furnace, 00:05:36.16\00:05:41.54 nothing can measure loses it. Yes, Daniels grown Dodd and Daniels, 3 friends are brought 00:05:41.54\00:05:48.14 before him and he loses it even worse. Yes, this guy is on hinged. Yes. And this is 00:05:48.14\00:05:54.85 the kind of different temperament and yes and areas. this is a this is what we're 00:05:54.85\00:05:59.55 seeing about that we can as or this guy is unhinged and he'll just get more, which is why 00:05:59.55\00:06:02.76 there's an entire chapter devoted to his home bling. Yes, after for a venue. Yes, 00:06:02.76\00:06:07.76 yeah. So I think he's looking for a way out of it. I think that the the move was a move a 00:06:07.76\00:06:14.60 power play, right? I'm going I'm going to really put the pressure on the And and then, 00:06:14.60\00:06:18.44 of course, if they don't come through, not too bad for them. >> And then when Daniel comes 00:06:18.44\00:06:23.88 in, he's like, well, yeah, I'll give anything a chance give anything to chance. Even 00:06:23.88\00:06:26.88 this guy does in training. I'll give him a chance to right now. 00:06:26.88\00:06:29.92 You come out with an OK, we'll see what you got. Nice, OK? >> All right, Barbara, she 00:06:29.92\00:06:34.39 writes in and says, do you think Navy can as a realized his dream 00:06:34.39\00:06:39.93 was important? If so, why? Well, I think he realized it was 00:06:39.93\00:06:44.97 important because >> he put all his cabinet on the line to get the tree minutes interpretation. 00:06:44.97\00:06:49.60 The reason why I think he will we it was important. I'm just going to say this, Mike, this 00:06:49.60\00:06:52.71 is my thought is because got impressed that a I think God in Preston with the strain, I 00:06:52.71\00:06:59.15 think on of the importance of, you know, I can wake up I could have a dream and I can 00:06:59.15\00:07:01.88 wake up. I can say, man, that was a terrible dream. And I want to But, you know, I can 00:07:01.88\00:07:06.39 just forget it's you know, who cares? Sure should Medicaid as are, didn't do that. Medicaid 00:07:06.39\00:07:09.92 as was impressed that the stream with significant anyhow had to do what it was really 00:07:09.92\00:07:14.93 important. You know, we see another time in Bible and the Bible when this happens with 00:07:14.93\00:07:20.30 the king of Egypt, they're OK, he has a dream and a second arena. And he's he's troubled 00:07:20.30\00:07:25.84 by them. And he thinks it's important to him. He wants to know what. And I think that's 00:07:25.84\00:07:30.28 God. I think God is the one the push that little bit of, you know, significance. I got 00:07:30.28\00:07:36.15 to find this the importance impresses. He's trying to wake up human BT trying to wake us 00:07:36.15\00:07:40.62 up try to help us to realize that he's got a dream for us and he wants to see if we will 00:07:40.62\00:07:47.20 what's in store, what the future holds. The can awaken cause to 00:07:47.20\00:07:51.83 go in a different direction. >> Absolutely. You know, as you're speaking on, that will 00:07:51.83\00:07:53.60 come to my mind is the fact that some people, you know, they run 00:07:53.60\00:07:57.84 into some people, some extreme views to have this idea that well, you know, God doesn't 00:07:57.84\00:08:02.31 you've got spirit doesn't work on the EU. He than a dozen. He does it speak to the heat and he 00:08:02.31\00:08:05.01 doesn't work on those people that, you know, live completely country lies. But yet we have to 00:08:05.01\00:08:10.25 understand the Bible's flooded with examples of of 3 different ways that ice I have 00:08:10.25\00:08:14.42 studied and found clearly that the Holy Spirit works on us. First of all, the Holy Spirit 00:08:14.42\00:08:20.26 works on us. Works when everyone believer and nonbeliever But 00:08:20.26\00:08:23.67 ultimately in working on us, he wanted to leave lead to him working in us. And that is that 00:08:23.67\00:08:29.37 sanctification process. And of course, ultimately to work through us. And so he wants to 00:08:29.37\00:08:32.34 bring the beacon, has a that he wants to bring a condition to the point to where he can 00:08:32.34\00:08:35.31 transform into a child of God who's humble, whose meek, who he can work in him through to 00:08:35.31\00:08:40.48 be a vessel of honor for his kingdom. But man, this man, this man is rough for me. He 00:08:40.48\00:08:46.96 is that he even though ins. And so, yes, the holy Spirit is working on this. He then 00:08:46.96\00:08:51.33 king. >> you know, it's going to be a little while before he's 00:08:51.33\00:08:54.46 he's humbled, least in this kind like to give some more evidence 00:08:54.46\00:08:56.40 for that point. You're making. That would mean that God chose the good people. OK, right? But 00:08:56.40\00:09:05.41 the Bible tells us that God chose the bad people. Yes, the Jews words stiffnecked. I mean, 00:09:05.41\00:09:11.48 when you look at Abraham who lied twice about his wife to save his Right. Okay. When you 00:09:11.48\00:09:17.39 look at Jacob who deceives his own father right? When you look at the story of Moses, 00:09:17.39\00:09:24.26 taking those people out and noses us stiffnecked from the day for the first day, I 00:09:24.26\00:09:28.90 counted right, got actually chose the hardest. The worst, God, you see humid. Hugh 00:09:28.90\00:09:36.47 Humanity is the same where the you profess to be a believer or you are believe or not. You 00:09:36.47\00:09:42.08 still got the same Hume at the fallen nature is the same for all of us. But for the grace 00:09:42.08\00:09:47.08 of God there go week. So if God can't worked to them, you can't work to us either strive 00:09:47.08\00:09:54.52 all of us. No one seeking NAFTA got almost 3 nights, has no, not one. We've all gone 00:09:54.52\00:09:56.56 astray. I wasn't even at one point, know, wouldn't be sitting here today not worked 00:09:56.56\00:10:01.36 on me to bring the away from that. So and part even says first, impeach after one 00:10:01.36\00:10:04.23 versus 15, 16 and the chief of centers. Yes. And that's where the end of his ministries, 00:10:04.23\00:10:08.94 right? Because he realizes the following this of his human nature and the dependency has 00:10:08.94\00:10:13.71 upon the grace of God. We all need to realize that friends. We've all got to realize that 00:10:13.71\00:10:17.35 none of us are any better than he did God's going to work through us. He's going to work 00:10:17.35\00:10:22.35 through. He did because we know our own hearts. We realize, whoa, you know, Peter 00:10:22.35\00:10:25.55 was the one that thought all, yeah, they're going to take you. I'm not. You know, that 00:10:25.55\00:10:29.36 was a big mistake. We want to make that same mistake. In fact, the church in Les to see 00:10:29.36\00:10:32.66 the last church of the 7 is worse than the world worse than coal dust and wish you a 00:10:32.66\00:10:39.00 call. We sure like the world. I wish you a hot. I'd rather have you hot question. Not 00:10:39.00\00:10:43.27 cold and you're You're lukewarm. Why? Because you think you're 00:10:43.27\00:10:46.31 rich increase with goods and you don't need anything. You think you're better than everyone 00:10:46.31\00:10:50.88 else. And that's the greatest deception. We can be an right wow, man. That's that's 00:10:50.88\00:10:55.38 powerful. My friends. It's not too late. We got about 46 minutes left in the second hour. 00:10:55.38\00:10:59.35 We're about to dive back into Daniel to discuss further to the end of this chapter. But 00:10:59.35\00:11:02.49 >> if you want to send in your questions again, we want to ruin Angeles questions and 00:11:02.49\00:11:05.93 we're going to bring them out to me as you send them in. So 2 ways you can do that. You 00:11:05.93\00:11:10.27 can text in your question. 6, 1, 8, 2, 2, 8, 3, 9, 7, 5, That's 00:11:10.27\00:11:18.24 the number 6 to 8.

That's it right there on your screen live at 3 ABN DOT TV. Again, that is a live at 00:11:37.09\00:11:42.36 3ABN, DOT TV. So we're waiting on those questions and we'll get to those answers as they 00:11:42.36\00:11:46.80 come in. So here we go, Pastor James and we have just read through traversed 45 where we 00:11:46.80\00:11:54.38 have now received obviously from God through Daniel to King Nebuchadnezzar. Now the 00:11:54.38\00:12:00.72 meaning of the stream. So let's break this down. You can take us through it. Well, I 00:12:00.72\00:12:05.42 want to just a little bit further. Now let's go to 46 47. Let's just finish it up. 00:12:05.42\00:12:10.26 Real OK? Alright, then the king that can answer fell upon his face and worship. Daniel. 00:12:10.26\00:12:16.20 >> And commanded that they should offer an oblation sweet odors and him and the King 00:12:16.20\00:12:19.57 answered Daniel and said of the truth. It is that your God is the God of gods and the 00:12:19.57\00:12:24.41 Lord of Kings and a revealer secret. Seen that thou comest reveal this secret. Then 00:12:24.41\00:12:31.65 Daniel, then the King made Daniel a great man, gave him many great gifts, made him 00:12:31.65\00:12:35.85 ruler of the whole province of Babylon, chief of the governors of all the Wise Men 00:12:35.85\00:12:40.46 to Babylon. Dan, you requested of the king and set. He said Chad wreck second event to go. 00:12:40.46\00:12:45.09 That's the babylonian names fan and I'm Michelle and has her eye over the affairs of 00:12:45.09\00:12:51.30 the Province of Babylon. But Daniel sat in the gate of the King. Now we know this was 00:12:51.30\00:12:56.54 he's still in training. So we know this was going forward. This is what happened, OK? 00:12:56.54\00:12:58.61 This was the projection of what took place as a result. I just want to throw out a 00:12:58.61\00:13:05.15 couple of thoughts here because in this context. And we're going 00:13:05.15\00:13:08.75 to transition now a little bit, maybe in a chapter 3. Daniel. Gods. Captive Angeles. mean by 00:13:08.75\00:13:18.16 that is he went into captivity babbo in captivity and he the got set in their 4th Angeles 00:13:18.16\00:13:23.57 because cars people want to All right. Got a lot of stuff to be 00:13:23.57\00:13:29.27 humble before the nation's he allowed all the nations to think that he was a week got 00:13:29.27\00:13:34.48 sanctuary. would take and put in the temple of the Scott Scott humbles himself. God shows the 00:13:34.48\00:13:39.85 world that he does need chariots. Right? He doesn't need horsemen. Okay. He doesn't need 00:13:39.85\00:13:45.99 an army. That he can conquer a nation with a drink. Wow. Just a That's all it took. The wisdom 00:13:45.99\00:13:54.46 of the man is foolishness with God. Yes, okay. So God pools, this stream up. And and now he's 00:13:54.46\00:14:01.87 exulted. You heard what beacon as are set. Sure, God has a and it came to Kings and Lord 00:14:01.87\00:14:10.11 of Lords, every other secrets. And that's a big thing to say because these brothers and 00:14:10.11\00:14:12.95 sisters worship. >> Thousands of was a huge rush, right? But not 00:14:12.95\00:14:17.55 the kidney, as are had just been the first attendee. Daniel Seminar. Haha, love that. He 00:14:17.55\00:14:29.70 said on the front row as the evangelist Daniel gave the presentation is and Daniel, 00:14:29.70\00:14:35.50 this evangelist, he didn't have a 26 part representation. Six-week series. He had one 00:14:35.50\00:14:39.47 chance. One shot, just one shot. And I believe in the end of time, that's what we're 00:14:39.47\00:14:44.21 going to be. I believe that the time is coming when God's people 00:14:44.21\00:14:47.28 whose can have one shot. We're told the thousands are going to be converted into day. before 00:14:47.28\00:14:51.65 kings and rulers. That's what Jesus set, right? He had one shot and he he gave all the 00:14:51.65\00:14:58.13 glory to God. He was obscured. He shared the vision. He shared the interpretation and it had 00:14:58.13\00:15:01.46 its impact right? The show is really interesting. Nebuchadnezzar says basically 00:15:01.46\00:15:06.07 I was going to put in present-day terminology. I want to join the church. 00:15:06.07\00:15:10.44 Daniel. Put me in the tank. You got to got guys. I want to worship him. I want to be a 00:15:10.44\00:15:16.95 member your church. That's Daniel Chapter 2. You know, we can has been damaged after 3. 00:15:16.95\00:15:22.38 He's back But yeah, absolutely. Just a few years later is out 00:15:22.38\00:15:27.46 the back door and how many times has that happened? You're an evangelist on list. How many 00:15:27.46\00:15:32.23 times you go and you know you that you've got that one shot to reach that center, this person, 00:15:32.23\00:15:36.20 that purse to share with them. This beautiful dream dream for us to share with them. And then 00:15:36.20\00:15:40.04 you come back maybe a few months later, Hugh Years lady, come back and they're gone. 00:15:40.04\00:15:44.14 And why is that? why is that? Daniel Chapter 3 and Daniel Chapter for kind of help us to 00:15:44.14\00:15:52.61 understand why that is. But let just start with Daniel Chapter 2. Daniel Chapter 2 is 00:15:52.61\00:15:59.22 an intellectual revelation of truth. The stock tunnels, the OT theological has or hasn't 00:15:59.22\00:16:04.33 had a county with God, really right? as relationship with got net income is or has been 00:16:04.33\00:16:09.30 counted in Evangelist series now because he's come in contact with this revelation 00:16:09.30\00:16:14.14 of prophecy and it's really convicting him here, right? It isn't hard experience here, 00:16:14.14\00:16:18.97 right? And many times before we can have a hard experience ourselves. We have to see 00:16:18.97\00:16:21.04 other people have already experienced the Gospel SB Priest as a witness by others 00:16:21.04\00:16:26.41 or any chapter 3. He sees Jesus in the fire with his people and 00:16:26.41\00:16:34.22 then we could have that our own experience before he goes to some trials. He reaches out to 00:16:34.22\00:16:40.10 God and he has his own But speakers because that goes to show you because we live in a 00:16:40.10\00:16:43.37 day in age, we're. People seek after a sign I can't help. But think of Jesus. His words. You 00:16:43.37\00:16:52.47 noticed that adulterous generation seeks after sun, but they receive not. We live 00:16:52.47\00:16:55.91 in a day and age where people look for for the miracles to signs the wonders. And, you 00:16:55.91\00:17:01.98 know, I've even heard many people say all of how could Israel have seen all the 00:17:01.98\00:17:06.15 things that they saw, you know, for instance, coming out of Egypt, all these plagues 00:17:06.15\00:17:10.79 and the bread see and talk of the go through all of that and yet still be so stiffnecked in 00:17:10.79\00:17:13.76 stubborn and you know, just >> hard to the heart maybe can have the same experience. This 00:17:13.76\00:17:20.97 brothers he will be. >> Experience the miracle. He received a vision or dream 00:17:20.97\00:17:27.48 forgot it. Then God workshop. This miraculous way to use Daniel someone who he doesn't 00:17:27.48\00:17:33.21 know to come and reveal not just a just a skeleton of the dream. We're talking about you 00:17:33.21\00:17:41.22 know, detail the to the brother experienced a miracle in Daniel to then in Daniel 3, 00:17:41.22\00:17:45.13 he experiences and more incredible miracle. And he sees, as he says, the son of 00:17:45.13\00:17:49.43 God would appear like the son of man in the fire. So notice he's 00:17:49.43\00:17:52.80 experiencing these miracles. He's experiencing those signs and wonders of all wonders. But 00:17:52.80\00:17:57.71 yet still, by the time you get to Dana Chapter 4. He hasn't had heart conversion is an 00:17:57.71\00:18:02.98 experience. He seen the scientists in the wonder and in response to both of those, it 00:18:02.98\00:18:08.42 was all. >> Your God is a God of God. What a powerful God you serve. Daniel, what a powerful 00:18:08.42\00:18:12.32 God. You served fellows in a wonderful, but you still get the day you for this brothers 00:18:12.32\00:18:17.29 missing. Some think goes to show us something new today in Christianity. We have this 00:18:17.29\00:18:20.53 idea that, oh, if only I could see a miracle, only I could talk to God you know, even 00:18:20.53\00:18:25.37 even the, you know, the very season, you know, old one, which one would rise from the 00:18:25.37\00:18:30.47 dead and the king of the rich man in labs or store, just send them back. rise from the 00:18:30.47\00:18:32.97 dead will convert. >> But speak on that for a moment because 00:18:32.97\00:18:37.55 people we live in this day and age where people they want to see they want experience. They 00:18:37.55\00:18:40.92 want the emotional experience, but they don't want that heart experience the heart 00:18:40.92\00:18:43.79 connection. Yes, so we go all the way back to Texas because you talked about exercise and 00:18:43.79\00:18:46.42 all those. >> And when they get to Sinai, most us goes up in 00:18:46.42\00:18:50.09 them out and got says now that's what I want you to do. And most is comes down. The people, the 00:18:50.09\00:18:54.00 10 Commandments come God's voice. voice and the people say you go talk to him, you have 00:18:54.00\00:18:57.83 relationship with him. We don't have relations. See, you can see all the signs. But if 00:18:57.83\00:19:01.94 you have that personal relationship, if you don't connect with God, God wants to 00:19:01.94\00:19:05.41 connect with us personally, we see the same thing we maybe can answer, you know, at first 00:19:05.41\00:19:11.01 it's just here, not here. God is bringing a bit really Daniel chapters one through 4 00:19:11.01\00:19:15.45 or an outline of how to have a relationship with God. Now, when you think about right and 00:19:15.45\00:19:21.76 what God does to bring us into relationship with him when the time you get to the end of the 00:19:21.76\00:19:27.36 Bible, you get to 2. We already mentioned revelation, Chapter 3. 00:19:27.36\00:19:31.03 You've got to people who have all that knowledge. They don't just know Daniel, too, right? 00:19:31.03\00:19:33.30 They know too. They don't and 7th they don't. then an annual my they don't annual 11 or least 00:19:33.30\00:19:41.18 some of them know this when another group, not this. When another good note, this way a 00:19:41.18\00:19:44.18 4th one. Coming up. And then they got revelation going down. Then they got all the 00:19:44.18\00:19:47.85 doctors going down, but they don't have relations crisis on the outside knocking. And I'm 00:19:47.85\00:19:52.92 gonna tell you, just going to say this to our viewers, you know, a 7th day Adventists. We 00:19:52.92\00:19:58.69 of all the nominations are in the most peril. For our knowledge of the Bible or 00:19:58.69\00:20:02.86 knowledge or prophecy. And we are in the most peril of having that knowledge, replace 00:20:02.86\00:20:10.47 relationship with God. We're in the most pair for being the land to sea in church where 00:20:10.47\00:20:15.04 Jesus is on the outside. Not that I meet so many questions 00:20:15.04\00:20:19.01 who are different denominations and maybe even people who aren't necessarily Christians and these 00:20:19.01\00:20:25.42 people, then somehow they are connected with having their connected with got the money 00:20:25.42\00:20:28.36 and, you know, know, the things that we know, but something's 00:20:28.36\00:20:31.66 going on in their life. That is that is good. That is positive. That got tells us that in 00:20:31.66\00:20:36.77 revelation got calls his people out of battle on the confusion that stocks come. theological I 00:20:36.77\00:20:42.67 think the majority of cars, people are in these other churches and sometimes 00:20:42.67\00:20:46.01 evidence we get so uppity about our knowledge forget that relationship with Christ. 00:20:46.01\00:20:52.85 that's what Dan you want, Daniel to Daniel 3, Daniel for. That's 00:20:52.85\00:20:56.48 what it's directed us to listen. Seven-day, Evas and Christians, all of us. Let's remember what 00:20:56.48\00:20:59.69 the most important thing is abide in me. And I knew for without me you can do absolutely 00:20:59.69\00:21:05.49 nothing. But I mean, you can do nothing. God wants to make sure that our reliance upon 00:21:05.49\00:21:10.87 Jesus Christ. Remember, Peter, he's walking on the water. Will lord, if it be you didn't 00:21:10.87\00:21:15.84 come out on the water. I want to do some wonderful work. So he's walking out the water. 00:21:15.84\00:21:21.21 He's got his eyes on Jesus. And then he probably turns its gaze, you know, looks back of 00:21:21.21\00:21:23.58 the group. is a look at me in he's down and that's on the state. As soon as we start 00:21:23.58\00:21:30.22 thinking and focusing on ourselves and get a rise of Christ. But here's the good 00:21:30.22\00:21:33.96 thing. soon as Peters goes down, he says, Lord, Save me. parish 00:21:33.96\00:21:39.13 and Jesus is right there. Well, this is right there for us friends. He's right there. He 00:21:39.13\00:21:42.96 knows what he's dealing with with the human heart. He understands Arce our sole focus. 00:21:42.96\00:21:48.40 He understands our desire for celtic's notation. He understands all of that and he 00:21:48.40\00:21:51.41 can deal with it. Let's allow him to deal with it fully and completely. That's what we see 00:21:51.41\00:21:55.04 with You can answer. I feel like the Holy Spirit's lead me to read this. Quote. I plan to 00:21:55.04\00:22:00.12 read this quote, But what you just said. triggered by mind of this particular quote, this 00:22:00.12\00:22:05.29 comes from the great book Desire of age is page 3, 0, 9, to listen to these words to 00:22:05.29\00:22:11.06 link quote. But just listen these words because it kind of sums up everything you just 00:22:11.06\00:22:13.13 said that show. >> It says the greatest deception of the human 00:22:13.13\00:22:19.57 mind in Christ Day. Was that a mere us it to the truth constitute righteousness in all 00:22:19.57\00:22:24.24 human experience is a theoretical knowledge of the truth has been proved to be 00:22:24.24\00:22:28.18 insufficient for the saving of the soul. It does not bring forth the fruits of 00:22:28.18\00:22:33.31 righteousness. A zealous regard for what is termed theological truth often accompanies a hatred 00:22:33.31\00:22:41.06 of she knew in truth has made manifest in the life. Okay. The darkest chapters of 00:22:41.06\00:22:46.80 Earth's history are burdened with the record of crimes committed by bigoted religion. 00:22:46.80\00:22:51.17 Us the Pharisees claimed to be children of Abraham and boasted of their possessions 00:22:51.17\00:22:56.54 of the workers of God. Yet these advantages did not prove 00:22:56.54\00:23:00.68 preserve them from selfishness, malignity greed for game and the big bassist of hypocrisy. They 00:23:00.68\00:23:07.55 thought themselves the greatest religions of the world, but their so-called orthodoxy led 00:23:07.55\00:23:10.12 them to crucify the Lord of Glory. And then it goes on to say this, this same danger 00:23:10.12\00:23:15.39 still exists today. That said many take it for granted that they are Christians simply 00:23:15.39\00:23:21.90 because they subscribe to certain theological tenants. But they have not brought the 00:23:21.90\00:23:27.34 truth into practical life. They have not believed and loved it. Therefore, they have 00:23:27.34\00:23:32.37 not received the power and grace that come through sanctification 00:23:32.37\00:23:36.75 of the truth. Men may profess faith in the truth, but if it does not make film and here's 00:23:36.75\00:23:41.88 the if it does not make them sincere, kind patient forbearing heavenly minded to that's what 00:23:41.88\00:23:49.92 Daniel it is a curse to its possessors and through their influence. It is a curse to 00:23:49.92\00:23:56.43 the world. >> All through the book Daniel find this phrase 00:23:56.43\00:24:00.37 over and over again. An excellent spirit was in him, right? Excellent spirit was the 00:24:00.37\00:24:05.97 spirit of the gods is in the history of the And that's what God is calling us to. You know, 00:24:05.97\00:24:12.55 us as Christians have so whatever denomination we are, God is calling us outside of our 00:24:12.55\00:24:18.42 knowledge. Now, knowledge is important that your crews with the guts word important 00:24:18.42\00:24:23.32 theological loss of one doctor is important to buckle doctrine 00:24:23.32\00:24:27.13 is vital because visit biblical doctrine helps us to realize how good and loving God It helps us 00:24:27.13\00:24:34.30 to see got in the right light. When we see got in the right light, we become transformed in 00:24:34.30\00:24:38.21 his likeness. And as we transform to him like like, theirs with the danger coming 00:24:38.21\00:24:43.28 the more we learn, the more we grow, we have to make a decision. Are we trying to 00:24:43.28\00:24:49.82 become intellectual giants that can stop out of the people with prowess of knowledge and or 00:24:49.82\00:24:54.62 are we trying to become more like Adam like Christ and outdo ourselves in be Christ 00:24:54.62\00:24:59.26 like right? The disciples had the first experience in the transition at second 00:24:59.26\00:25:05.17 experience eventually because they saw to outdo themselves to become more like Christ 00:25:05.17\00:25:08.67 than the others. I And then I love this. I love this. As we reflect back on this chapter 00:25:08.67\00:25:15.61 here. >> And Daniel, too, as we have as we just read their the 00:25:15.61\00:25:19.15 latter vs of the meaning of the strained interpretation, everything, you know, we can 00:25:19.15\00:25:23.35 go through it. You know that the head of cool, the chest and arms of silver silver, the 00:25:23.35\00:25:26.99 belly and thighs of bronze and brass, the legs of iron, the feet clay. And we're going to 00:25:26.99\00:25:31.66 talk about all these things a little, maybe a little bit more tonight in a special we 00:25:31.66\00:25:36.16 get to Daniel 7 because we'll come back to it. We get the Daniel 7, but everything you 00:25:36.16\00:25:40.67 look at all those individual points in the great the history, 00:25:40.67\00:25:43.74 the knowledge, how everything in place, everything worked out. But you kind of just feel this 00:25:43.74\00:25:48.21 great magnetic pool. Everything's gravitating towards the because the that's what get 00:25:48.21\00:25:55.82 with the stone is different from every other element before it 00:25:55.82\00:26:00.69 because it last. Yes, last forever. And Selena's latest in a study of number. 2 other 00:26:00.69\00:26:04.69 points here in the context of that been. So 1, 1, is is that sometimes people ask the 00:26:04.69\00:26:10.97 question, will. >> How come got talks about Babble on and meet a Persian Greece and Rome and in 00:26:10.97\00:26:15.00 the, you know, the 10 nations, if Europe and of course, you know, coming down in the toast 00:26:15.00\00:26:18.37 in the final session of, you know, you have a shunt 13. What about China? You know, 00:26:18.37\00:26:22.58 what about, you know, India, what about these other nations? 00:26:22.58\00:26:26.88 God could have exhaust and he could have talked about the history of everyone he gives 00:26:26.88\00:26:31.12 these 4 examples as a summary. If you write my, here's a summary of humanity. If you 00:26:31.12\00:26:35.86 think this any nation that does better than these. Show it to me, there isn't. So he 00:26:35.86\00:26:41.96 summarizes in the 4, 4, as a number that is all inclusive north, South East and west. So 00:26:41.96\00:26:46.37 that's why God uses for he's won 4 in Daniel 2, 7, 8.11. He says for a revelation, churches seals 00:26:46.37\00:26:52.94 Trump its final 7 to be right. And and even mentions in revelation. 7 verses one 00:26:52.94\00:27:00.22 through 4, the 4 winds of heaven. You know, right? So God is number one. God is 00:27:00.22\00:27:04.95 saying to us, you all covered in this case, OK? I don't know that I need to be detail about 00:27:04.95\00:27:09.56 everything you all covered in this humanity is the same. What has been will be. It's 00:27:09.56\00:27:13.70 all the same finalized out. My king number 2. Some people go Daniel to seminar and they're 00:27:13.70\00:27:18.90 like. Gossips, Kings and God lays down kings and and God is in control of all these 00:27:18.90\00:27:27.54 nations and nothing happened yet. And the leaves and like. >> Wow, that's a good show. 00:27:27.54\00:27:31.35 The other half of the people leaving to go. Wow. caught in control like he says Casey 00:27:31.35\00:27:37.12 takes down King's Heat. He's the reason why there's all this evil 00:27:37.12\00:27:43.32 and suffering this That's the reason to control. It's really important for us to clarify. 00:27:43.32\00:27:48.96 This is a sampling. This is a contrast. God is not saying I set up all these powers and I 00:27:48.96\00:27:54.54 took down all these powers and all these powers ordained of me. God is saying, yes, I set up 00:27:54.54\00:28:01.14 with power and I give them that time that probationary time. And when they reveal the 00:28:01.14\00:28:05.68 selfish is the fullness of rejection of light and haven't center. I take him down and 00:28:05.68\00:28:11.72 put up another one. Give them probationary time to put up enough, give them probation or 00:28:11.72\00:28:14.49 time. But my alternate plan is to get you to the rock. Also plans to get you that 00:28:14.49\00:28:20.83 kingdom's. It's going to fill the whole Earth. I'm not the one who's in charge of all the 00:28:20.83\00:28:26.43 evil is taking place. I'm the one that's seeking to deliver you from the evil. That's 00:28:26.43\00:28:29.60 right. Right. A salute. So it's really important for us to recognize God is sovereign 00:28:29.60\00:28:35.04 and got can overrule all things work together for good to them that love the Lord, 00:28:35.04\00:28:38.01 right? Even the best he can work for good. But God is not the one who does all the bad 00:28:38.01\00:28:42.12 Human beings are doing that. Let's not cop got out on that. Let's not give that to got. 00:28:42.12\00:28:46.96 We're the ones that are making people choices in God is reviewing that and how he 00:28:46.96\00:28:51.53 works through that and 6 to overrule through that and give us time and probation offer to 00:28:51.53\00:28:55.66 you like you did with because what he did with their is like you did with Cyrus like he 00:28:55.66\00:28:58.63 does with Greeks and eyes and a great like he does with the Romans like he does with the 00:28:58.63\00:29:04.41 papacy like he does with the American like he does with each one of us individually. 00:29:04.41\00:29:07.94 >> But eventually, as it says in the Lord's Prayer. Our father, which art in heaven, 00:29:07.94\00:29:12.41 hallowed be thy name. Fi will be done. Viking them come. VI will be done on earth as it is 00:29:12.41\00:29:18.25 and have. And it's not being done right now on Earth as it is in heaven, right? He's king 00:29:18.25\00:29:21.46 hasn't come yet and deliver us from evil. They're still evil on planet Earth. And if we're 00:29:21.46\00:29:25.53 praying to be delivered from evil, guess what? That evil must not find its source in 00:29:25.53\00:29:31.67 God because otherwise we print be praying to be delivered from God. If Gaza source of 00:29:31.67\00:29:35.94 evil deliver us from evil or deliver us from, you know, there's a contrast here in the 00:29:35.94\00:29:41.24 Lord's prayer. Absolute when we pray to be delivered from evil will be for praying to be 00:29:41.24\00:29:44.51 delivered from something that is not in harmony with God's kingdom I feel like I just 00:29:44.51\00:29:50.29 took a drink from a FOX. No, that's pound for pound from food to consider question for 00:29:50.29\00:29:57.79 you. How do we know this is? This is an interesting question. 00:29:57.79\00:30:02.03 >> Because I know the answer to this, but I just want to hear your take on this. Well, 00:30:02.03\00:30:05.30 if you know the answer and I don't throw but I mean, the question is, how do we know 00:30:05.30\00:30:11.07 that the the head of Gold is indeed Babylon. When it says you owe King. Our this head of 00:30:11.07\00:30:18.08 go, why don't we always put the emphasis on the kingdom and not the king? Gotcha. In 00:30:18.08\00:30:22.72 other words, in other words, is the head ago, just the king King on this. So we put a lot 00:30:22.72\00:30:28.29 of emphasis on on on the Kingdom of Medal Army to Greece robot 00:30:28.29\00:30:34.40 yet. Are these just for individual Kean's in and of themselves. So Daniel Chapter 7 00:30:34.40\00:30:39.27 has an interesting statement that it makes in identifying the piece of Daniel 7, which are 00:30:39.27\00:30:47.44 parallel to parts of the emission, Daniel Chapter 2. And here's what it says. And Daniel 00:30:47.44\00:30:51.48 7 for 17, these great beasts, which are for are 4 kings, right? That will arise out of 00:30:51.48\00:30:58.75 the earth. But there are 1723. Okay. That's he said the 4th beast shall be the 4th kingdom 00:30:58.75\00:31:07.03 balk on the orders. All right. So Kings and kingdoms are used interchangeably in the book of 00:31:07.03\00:31:14.37 Daniel. And we see that in the definition found in Daniel Chapter 7 for says 17 excuse 00:31:14.37\00:31:19.51 me for 06:00AM versus 17. 23, you said you an answer to love to hear your answer. Well, 00:31:19.51\00:31:25.01 actually, that's exactly where I was going, OK, because I had gotten that question a lot on 00:31:25.01\00:31:29.92 the road when I was. And what you know, when I go into the engine was my people the time 00:31:29.92\00:31:32.65 to wait. You said Babylon, but it says you owe King. And so they, you know, nail down 00:31:32.65\00:31:36.99 that, you know. But yet when you get to Dana Chapter 7, it does reveal that. And proof 00:31:36.99\00:31:42.10 text for that proof. Techs with at another crew will be Daniel Chapter 4. Remember the 00:31:42.10\00:31:47.44 tree? The fills a hole? Or alright, that's and your king do. Okay parallel is both read 00:31:47.44\00:31:55.71 and kept it for God is giving you a kingdom that you're the tree. But you're the Kingdom. 00:31:55.71\00:31:58.95 King kingdom, OK, used in change weekend. Andy Forssell Daniel for Daniel 7.17. praise 00:31:58.95\00:32:05.32 the Lord president of We've got questions and we're going to continue to ask these 00:32:05.32\00:32:10.36 questions. I have a good one for you in just a moment. I got to tell her friends how 00:32:10.36\00:32:14.13 they can send in their questions we have about 24 minutes left in 00:32:14.13\00:32:18.17 our program and that's still plenty of time to ask a question and to get an answer to it. 2 00:32:18.17\00:32:24.07 ways you can do that 618-228-3975. That number is a number you can text. So text us 00:32:24.07\00:32:32.21 your questions. 618-228-3975. >> Or you can also e-mail in your question as well to live 00:32:32.21\00:32:40.36 at 3 ABN DOT TV again, that's live at 3, a B in DOT TV. So keep the questions coming. 00:32:40.36\00:32:47.76 Here's a great one for many, many years. I wondered this myself until I did some 00:32:47.76\00:32:52.00 further Bible study and I was able to find back to, I love that. I love that. But you 00:32:52.00\00:32:58.87 you're you're with us during this week and we want to get to the question so you can 00:32:58.87\00:33:02.04 answer. So this is question is what does the iron and represent 00:33:02.04\00:33:06.58 from the feet? And when you get to this feat it's it's a mixture of iron, including what does 00:33:06.58\00:33:10.69 this represent, what we know that the iron represents wrong. That's the Roman kingdom of 00:33:10.69\00:33:15.79 iron. We're going to see that as we get into Daniel to Daniel, a 00:33:15.79\00:33:19.59 even Daniel the clay. >> Represents humanity. It represents he humans you've 00:33:19.59\00:33:24.80 got I'm representing power. You've got I'm representing government, civil government 00:33:24.80\00:33:29.40 whatever. Clay is malleable. Clay is something that Det that is similar representation 00:33:29.40\00:33:37.78 of humanity and our human nature is naturally. I'm going to say this is not naturally 00:33:37.78\00:33:45.09 tends to be religious and actually tends to be self-righteous, OK, legal a 00:33:45.09\00:33:51.83 stick. The clay here is a symbol or representation of the religion that relies upon 00:33:51.83\00:33:57.17 works and a pawn, our humanness rather than on Gods Divinity. So 00:33:57.17\00:34:02.24 what you see here is a mixture the civil and that church that's been corrupted by the civil. 00:34:02.24\00:34:10.35 You've got the church that has lost the power of God. You got the church. The finale of will 00:34:10.35\00:34:15.78 claye the humanity. It's lost the power of God. It's connecting with the so we've 00:34:15.78\00:34:18.02 got a church state connectivity here. That's devoid of God 00:34:18.02\00:34:24.99 devoid of the video. You're going to board of the costs and that's what see in the history 00:34:24.99\00:34:27.73 of the of the of the clay and the eye. And that Clia 9 continues all the way down to 00:34:27.73\00:34:32.40 the very end of time. And here's what try to do. >> That right in 00:34:32.40\00:34:36.91 England cells at the tea. That's what we do as humans. We try to manipulate and do our politics 00:34:36.91\00:34:40.74 and figure out the ways that we can maneuver so that we can have strength. And the idea 00:34:40.74\00:34:45.35 was to have strength, but they don't have this strength I don't thing one to another 00:34:45.35\00:34:49.62 strength right? You cannot have a religion that compromises the 00:34:49.62\00:34:56.36 divinity of Christ. The the beauty of the Gospel and claims tries to cling to the civil 00:34:56.36\00:34:59.76 power. strength it just won't cling on for. And I you know, I learned to craft and 00:34:59.76\00:35:05.50 statecraft. I love that. mission of church and state and it's it's bringing us to a 00:35:05.50\00:35:09.57 point in history. From our perspective in history. But from Daniel's perspective, 00:35:09.57\00:35:13.61 future. >> And which the church that the civil a civil 00:35:13.61\00:35:16.78 government and the church is going to mount a meet and come together and try to rule and 00:35:16.78\00:35:19.88 basically take over the world. But it doesn't work. And I like h***. That's why love the King. 00:35:19.88\00:35:24.39 James version. we go back to verse. 41, it says whereas you saw the feet and toes part of 00:35:24.39\00:35:31.09 potters clay, I love that part of potters clay. And that takes manager much after 18 5, 00:35:31.09\00:35:36.87 This is word of the Lord came to me saying, oh, house of Israel, can I not do with you 00:35:36.87\00:35:41.70 as this Potter says the Lord look as the Calais is in the Potter's hand. So are you in 00:35:41.70\00:35:48.71 my house of this race? We know this. Clay represents God's people, humanities, the 00:35:48.71\00:35:53.38 church. And so now we see this. This really do if we see this religious group a with 00:35:53.38\00:35:57.22 the civil governments of the world coming together in the church and state amalgamation. 00:35:57.22\00:36:01.16 And we see that happen after the 10 toes were established after 4.76 ad I 538 ad. We see 00:36:01.16\00:36:09.23 Rome rise up and create a political system that would rule for 1260 years and we get 00:36:09.23\00:36:13.97 a little over self. We're going to study that in depth with its powerful. And one of 00:36:13.97\00:36:19.27 the thing that you that you that you that we touch on that you brought out is when 00:36:19.27\00:36:23.81 Jeremiah wrote that. That's exactly what he got people were They were now the mating 00:36:23.81\00:36:27.95 with the nations around them. They turn to Egypt for help. When the babylonians were 00:36:27.95\00:36:32.12 coming to attack them, which is really interesting because >> the babylonians had to 00:36:32.12\00:36:38.23 fight the king of the before it can enter into the glorious land. king of the north had to 00:36:38.23\00:36:43.16 fight the south and many injured in the forest. And you can see that game Chapter 11 00:36:43.16\00:36:46.67 and many chapter 11, the king of the south pushing at the king in the north. The king of 00:36:46.67\00:36:48.77 the north goes and fights gets overcomes the king of the south with chairs and or many 00:36:48.77\00:36:55.41 ships and then the voice. 41, by the way, which you receiving my 00:36:55.41\00:37:01.55 friends is a real cold, quick snippet, a teaser on of future program that we're going to have 00:37:01.55\00:37:07.49 just on Daniel Levin, because we're we're committed it. What do we think? We decided on each 00:37:07.49\00:37:11.53 quarter? We're going to take a two-hour live was often as we get it off leaving. will say 00:37:11.53\00:37:15.16 that as often as we back in October, maybe can't land. So another. We're going to have 00:37:15.16\00:37:19.87 many, many more of profit equate mark programs. >> And which 00:37:19.87\00:37:23.54 we're going to just break down these different chapters on. We're going to have little 00:37:23.54\00:37:26.24 Daniel 11. can ask another question for all right. Here we go. This is a three-part 00:37:26.24\00:37:30.71 question, but I'm just going to take it one by one here. This person says I love what they say 00:37:30.71\00:37:34.98 here. Please answer these questions with solid scriptural 00:37:34.98\00:37:41.42 Kate says what first question, what what does the mountain signify? All right. So notice 00:37:41.42\00:37:48.20 here this it and I I'm sorry, I said going have these one by one. But I think the second one 00:37:48.20\00:37:53.87 and the 3rd one actually go together. So you might be able answer these often won't let me 00:37:53.87\00:37:57.47 go and read all 3 of the. So the first one is what does the mountain signify? The second 00:37:57.47\00:38:01.04 question is, what does the stone All right. And then the 3rd question, why is the image 00:38:01.04\00:38:06.78 still standing when the stone is cut out? The scripture says the gold, silver, et cetera, 00:38:06.78\00:38:12.95 were crushed at the city. At that time, the stone hit the image on its feet. So there 00:38:12.95\00:38:18.99 you go. Stone Mountain. Really good question. great questions. 00:38:18.99\00:38:22.73 So first of all, the stone represents Jesus. Okay. We know that he is the rock. He is the 00:38:22.73\00:38:28.60 stone of stumbling. And I don't have all the verses me. I do is I got right here. So first, 00:38:28.60\00:38:32.24 Peter Chapter, 2 verse innings. Therefore, it is also contained 00:38:32.24\00:38:35.88 in the scripture. Behold, I lay in Zion chief cornerstone speaking of Christ, you elect 00:38:35.88\00:38:42.12 precious and he who believes on him were Britain. Is that the chief cornerstone? He who 00:38:42.12\00:38:47.76 believes on him will by no means be put to shame. Also, Matthew, 21 verse 42 Jesus said to them, 00:38:47.76\00:38:52.63 have you never read in the scriptures, the stone, which the builders rejected has 00:38:52.63\00:38:57.67 become the chief cornerstone again, referring to himself. This was the Lord's doing it 00:38:57.67\00:39:02.34 is marvelous in our eyes and even goes on to say whoever falls on the stone will be 00:39:02.34\00:39:07.34 broken. whomever it falls, it will grind him to power. I think Daniel to reference. 00:39:07.34\00:39:13.05 They're able him to right? And there's a fusion chapter 2, I think it is where it talks 00:39:13.05\00:39:18.05 about us being built on spiritual and Jesus Christ be the chief cornerstone. And now 00:39:18.05\00:39:23.76 I'm trying to think of the verse coming. Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and 00:39:23.76\00:39:26.09 to the House of the Cottage. Jacob, he will teaches way so we walk ins past the law 00:39:26.09\00:39:32.77 should for some sign and the and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem, the mountain. So 00:39:32.77\00:39:38.04 first of all, you've got to Stone. Okay. That represents Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is 00:39:38.04\00:39:43.14 our Redeemer. Jesus Christ is our Savior. Jesus Christ is our hope for the future. You 00:39:43.14\00:39:47.42 know, in Jeremiah, 29 verse 11 just got says I have I have a future and hope for you to 00:39:47.42\00:39:55.99 give you unexpected. And even though Jeremiah is prophesied of the captivity, the Babylon 00:39:55.99\00:39:58.69 God wants to use that 2, if you will, chasing right to to correct. Asked to discipline 00:39:58.69\00:40:06.07 us. So we will come back to repent and he can restore us and we see this all through 00:40:06.07\00:40:11.37 the scriptures. So Jesus Christ is everything to us now that 00:40:11.37\00:40:17.78 rock that hits the mountain, that rock takes out all of the previous kingdom. So we'll talk 00:40:17.78\00:40:22.32 a little bit about why it would take all the previous cases, even though the previous king 00:40:22.32\00:40:26.42 isn't already been gone by the time that rock hits its second coming of Jesus, right? And 00:40:26.42\00:40:28.96 then it turns into mount because Christ Kingdom is like and onto 00:40:28.96\00:40:35.33 a mountain all through scripture. We're talking about Mountain Zion. In revelation, 00:40:35.33\00:40:40.50 Chapter 14 we're talking about mind's eye on in. He was 12 versus 23. 22 23 were talking 00:40:40.50\00:40:46.11 about the mountain of the Lord. >> At the Lords Mountain. So the mountain is used over and 00:40:46.11\00:40:52.08 over out of the congregation to represent God's kingdom. So the amount represents God's 00:40:52.08\00:40:57.05 Kingdom. Jesus is the one that establishes got He does that first of all, by destroying 00:40:57.05\00:41:01.19 all the previous king and what does it mean that he takes out the head? Any takes out the 00:41:01.19\00:41:04.99 the chest? takes out the was take up the whole image because 00:41:04.99\00:41:11.33 even though those kingdoms are gone, their coach are continues on. In other words, when we go 00:41:11.33\00:41:18.64 all the way down through history of that, Daniel Chapter 2 brings it out really well, right there 00:41:18.64\00:41:23.35 many was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season not. So you get down to 00:41:23.35\00:41:26.95 to the book of Revelation looking at the last book in the Bible. Guess what name we 00:41:26.95\00:41:32.42 see there. >> Battle on Avalon, Avalon and Avalon. Why? Because 00:41:32.42\00:41:35.66 the culture of Abba Lawn has been integrated into the systems of the world. In fact. 00:41:35.66\00:41:40.90 >> There's a beast which again represents an earthly kingdom in power that comes out of the 00:41:40.90\00:41:45.17 sea peoples nations and all too sometimes in bad in revelation, 00:41:45.17\00:41:48.94 13 verse one. And guess what? As a body like a leopard as if you'd like a bear is not like a 00:41:48.94\00:41:54.01 lion and the drag gives him a seat as power and great authority. So all of the cold, 00:41:54.01\00:42:00.05 sure of these nations, even though they don't have them anymore. All the coach continues 00:42:00.05\00:42:03.15 and we could talk about, you know, the culture of the media, Persians, you know, the the 00:42:03.15\00:42:06.99 law that cannot be Yeah. And and the culture Babylon and the sun worship in the culture 00:42:06.99\00:42:11.96 of the Greeks and the education, the educational system there and 00:42:11.96\00:42:16.70 and the Greek philosophy of how it influenced even the Christian Church for national mortality. 00:42:16.70\00:42:19.03 The soul comes from Greek culture right? So all of these things continue until Christ 00:42:19.03\00:42:24.77 comes and takes them all out. Right? By the way, you're referencing Isaiah chapter to 00:42:24.77\00:42:30.61 burst. thank you. And it's also found in Michael Chapter 4 verse 00:42:30.61\00:42:33.35 2. And that takes says. >> And many people show going say, come you and let us go up 00:42:33.35\00:42:37.32 to the mountain of the Lord to the House of the God of Jacob and he will teach us his ways 00:42:37.32\00:42:40.89 and we will walk in his past 4 out of Zion shall go forth. The law in the word of the 00:42:40.89\00:42:46.59 Lord from Jerusalem unless it's reversed. 2 of attempted to OK, but and it come to pass 00:42:46.59\00:42:52.20 in the last days that the mountain and the loss. How shall be established the top 00:42:52.20\00:42:56.97 of the mountain? Yes, in the last day, some of that. And then a man. All right becomes 00:42:56.97\00:43:00.24 another question. All right. This person says I'm scripture, 00:43:00.24\00:43:05.68 says God will do well with us in the new Earth. Will Jesus also do well with the saved on the 00:43:05.68\00:43:12.55 new absolutely Hershey's. This will grow with us. In fact, we're told that he's going to 00:43:12.55\00:43:19.76 service and that that great supper table and he's going to walk with us and by the river 00:43:19.76\00:43:23.93 of Life and people are going to be there. You know, I love this prophecy and Zechariah 00:43:23.93\00:43:29.04 people are going to be in heaven who don't even really know the story of Calvary. And 00:43:29.04\00:43:34.41 they're going to point to the nails in his hands and say, what are these marks new hands 00:43:34.41\00:43:38.95 are he's going to tell. And those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. So 00:43:38.95\00:43:42.92 God is going to be with us because Jesus is God, you know, Jesus is God, the son 00:43:42.92\00:43:46.82 and we have that God had teaching in the Bible, the father, the son and the Holy 00:43:46.82\00:43:52.39 Spirit, one in in character. One purpose, you know, one in Nature, 3 separate persons 00:43:52.39\00:43:57.93 that are the godhead and where God is Jesus isn't which eases the holy Spirit going to be. 00:43:57.93\00:44:02.34 All of them will do well with us. God's the new Gerson temple, where the city, where 00:44:02.34\00:44:08.68 God lives, where God dwells is going to come down on this earth. And this earth, the one 00:44:08.68\00:44:13.45 Earth, it's the most on where these could become the center of guys universe when anyone 00:44:13.45\00:44:17.12 wants to see God when just want to see got they got to kind of 00:44:17.12\00:44:20.96 planet Earth, it's going to be going. That's kind of awesome praise. The Lord, by the way, 00:44:20.96\00:44:25.36 that last question pertaining to will Jesus 12 with the save in the north. That came from Nancy 00:44:25.36\00:44:28.23 in Virginia. Thank you, Nancy, for submitting that question. And by the way, my friends, we 00:44:28.23\00:44:32.23 have about 12 minutes left. If you have a Bible question that you would like ask here, 00:44:32.23\00:44:37.07 Pastor James Rafferty myself, where we've got our bibles out. We're ready to and to 00:44:37.07\00:44:41.28 those questions, if you want to send the men, I've got one here. That's an interesting I 00:44:41.28\00:44:46.92 actually don't worry. I actually took as a class on this recently 00:44:46.92\00:44:52.02 and I cannot for the life of me. Remember the Bible but up talked have passed the stairway at CES. 00:44:52.02\00:44:57.73 Please explain what a unit is. And was this the state of Daniel before being taken to 00:44:57.73\00:45:04.63 Babylon? OK, so unique is someone who has since Isaiah Chapter. 39 caper says 5 to 7 00:45:04.63\00:45:09.80 O K Unica someone who and there are 3 put their 3 definitions of 00:45:09.80\00:45:15.51 Munich in the book of Matthew. I'm thinking about that verse. You got the Isaiah 39 39, what 00:45:15.51\00:45:20.02 you here. 39, 5 through 7th, OK, I'm going to look in matter of Chapter 18 as you go there. 00:45:20.02\00:45:25.99 All right. Isaiah Chapter 39 versus Houston, 5 through 7 up. All right. Versus 5 to 7 00:45:25.99\00:45:32.26 say then said Isaiah to Hezekiah. Hear the word of the Lord of hosts. Behold the days 00:45:32.26\00:45:37.53 come that all that is in your house and all that, which your father's have laid up in store 00:45:37.53\00:45:40.77 until this day, shell be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be 00:45:40.77\00:45:48.71 left says the Lord and and onus of your sons that show issue from you, which you shout, 00:45:48.71\00:45:54.65 Father Shell, they take away and they shall be units in the place of the King of Babylon. A unique 00:45:54.65\00:45:59.72 is someone who does not get married and does not have children. OK, OK, Daniel and his 00:45:59.72\00:46:04.59 friends, according to this prophecy, because Isaiah predicting that their their sons 00:46:04.59\00:46:09.23 would be you next. Daniel in this prophecy was made it unique. Okay. He was maybe a 00:46:09.23\00:46:15.17 Nick forcibly. He never married. He never have children. That means he was surgically made a 00:46:15.17\00:46:21.98 unit by the map okay probably a very painful thing. We don't know what we do know this that 00:46:21.98\00:46:24.41 that was huge for Daniel in Matthew Chapter 18, Jesus talks about 3 types of UNIX, OK? He 00:46:24.41\00:46:33.09 says here in Matthew Chapter 8 or not, 19 excuse me, verse 12. So they're talking here in the 00:46:33.09\00:46:38.99 context about marriage, right, and when they're talking about marriage, the disciples come 00:46:38.99\00:46:43.53 to this. conclusion that's not good for a man to get married because, you know, once you're 00:46:43.53\00:46:50.91 married, you can't put away your wife except for fornication. So 00:46:50.91\00:46:52.84 this type of saying to him, if this is the case with man with his wife, it's not good to marry 00:46:52.84\00:46:58.71 and he said unto them all. Men cannot receive the same, say they to whom it is given for. 00:46:58.71\00:47:04.95 There are some units which were so born from their mothers, one. So there are some men who 00:47:04.95\00:47:08.52 perhaps were born with the without the ability to procreate 00:47:08.52\00:47:11.86 to recreate children. There are some units which remain unix of men Daniel, right? Yeah, he's on 00:47:11.86\00:47:18.90 to the prince of the chief of the UNIX. It's pretty predictive. Theis said he's 00:47:18.90\00:47:21.57 going to maybe you Nick and there be units which have made themselves units for the 00:47:21.57\00:47:25.81 Kingdom of heaven sakes. Now, that doesn't mean I don't think that they've had the 00:47:25.81\00:47:29.84 surgery. I think they're simply single for God's sake. And then Jesus goes on to say 00:47:29.84\00:47:33.58 this. He says he that is able to receive it. Let him receive. So 00:47:33.58\00:47:40.06 basically that's what UNIX means. Jesus gives elaborates on this. And of course, we see the 00:47:40.06\00:47:44.16 process you might say. That tells us that Danny was maybe all. All right. All right. Well, 00:47:44.16\00:47:47.10 thank you for that answer. My brother. All right. This next one of this isn't a question. 00:47:47.10\00:47:53.70 It's as if Daniel went back to the final year of his 3 year training after giving the 00:47:53.70\00:47:59.21 interpretation of the stream. Did he do so as the ruler over the whole province of Babylon 00:47:59.21\00:48:05.95 Versed? 47, according or was he promoted after the 3 years of training were completed? Is 00:48:05.95\00:48:15.59 there a gap between verse? 47 48. Let's read Daniel Chapter one. Okay and will start here 00:48:15.59\00:48:21.03 in verse. 17. Okay. As for these 4 children, God gave them knowledge and skill an 00:48:21.03\00:48:29.70 learning wisdom and Daniel had understanding all dreams and visions and dreams. Now, at 00:48:29.70\00:48:33.41 the end of the days that the king has said he should bring them in. Then the prince of 00:48:33.41\00:48:36.38 the Unix brought them in before we can as are and the king commune with them. And 00:48:36.38\00:48:41.62 among them always found none like Daniel had. And I'm Michelle and has your eye 00:48:41.62\00:48:44.95 therefore they stood before the king in all matters of wisdom and are staying at the 00:48:44.95\00:48:49.22 king quite of them. He found them 10 times better than all the musicians and astrologers 00:48:49.22\00:48:54.56 that we in all his route. And Daniel continued even to the first year of the King of 00:48:54.56\00:48:59.47 Cyrus became so from these forces. I conclude that Daniel finished his term was brought 00:48:59.47\00:49:07.31 in, already had understanding visions and dreams and then was All right. So you've got 00:49:07.31\00:49:11.91 this transition is taking place Metuchen as Reese following 00:49:11.91\00:49:17.62 through with this. He's he's allowing Daniel to finish training. That's what we see 00:49:17.62\00:49:21.22 here in the versus. But at the end of this, you've got this first that says, and Daniel 00:49:21.22\00:49:25.23 continued even in the first year, the King of Cyrus right? So the only way you can continue 00:49:25.23\00:49:30.87 in relationship to keep size. So we see this. We're going to see this. And Daniel Chapter 6 is if 00:49:30.87\00:49:35.64 you are in position of leadership or or whatever. And Daniel is Daniels put in 00:49:35.64\00:49:40.31 position include leadership in in Metuchen as kingdom. >> They lose. Is that when his 00:49:40.31\00:49:45.28 grandson Bill Shazzar comes in, he's kind of lost sight of there. But he's immediately 00:49:45.28\00:49:49.32 promoted. It seems when the means and Persians takeover and various wow. All right. 00:49:49.32\00:49:54.39 Thank you for that. I would never cut that that math. Appreciate that so much. 00:49:54.39\00:49:58.46 >> So really quickly, let's go back to Daniel because we have about 7 minutes here. Again, 00:49:58.46\00:50:02.10 you might you have questions, we have red through nearly more than 2 pages of questions 00:50:02.10\00:50:07.57 so far. Thank you for those who have sent in your questions. But 00:50:07.57\00:50:11.17 if you have questions, there's still about 5 minutes or so to get maybe a couple more in and 00:50:11.17\00:50:15.31 they're committed and ready in the back to to bring those out to us. If you have submitted 00:50:15.31\00:50:18.35 those. But again, that number is 618-228-3975. If you would like to text in your question, 00:50:18.35\00:50:27.26 618-228-3975, or you can email live at 3ABN DOT TV. Some like to go back here. Just get your 00:50:27.26\00:50:33.23 thoughts again on. >> this mainly with the seed of man. That seems to be one 00:50:33.23\00:50:40.60 of those that many people have questions about. You briefly talked about it earlier. If 00:50:40.60\00:50:45.57 you could, maybe just kind of going to a little bit detail here in these last 5 minutes, 00:50:45.57\00:50:47.71 we might get a question or 2 come out. >> But just give us 00:50:47.71\00:50:51.31 your your your take on. What does it mean when it says, you know, in the time of this, this 00:50:51.31\00:50:55.22 this clay in iron amalgamation, that they would mingle with the 00:50:55.22\00:51:00.52 seat of men. >> Well, here's something that's really interesting about our history as 00:51:00.52\00:51:02.66 it relates to Daniel, Too. Daniel Chapter 2 is so accurate. That's some people have 00:51:02.66\00:51:09.46 suggested that it was written after the fact now we know wasn't written in the 20th 00:51:09.46\00:51:13.70 century. We note was written, you know, in the dark ages. We know it had to be of written 00:51:13.70\00:51:17.57 before Christ, but they try to put up quite a ways. But when you get into this history, 00:51:17.57\00:51:22.14 it's super interesting because you've got Babylon, World Kingdom, you got me to 00:51:22.14\00:51:26.48 pressure World Kane. You've got Greece, World Kingdom. You got wrong. World Kingdom and 00:51:26.48\00:51:30.22 then you don't have any more world crimes now wasn't that people didn't make an attempt. 00:51:30.22\00:51:33.52 They made an attempt for a right? I mean, you've got the Kaiser's that made it 10 for 00:51:33.52\00:51:38.96 the world came to know right, Charlemagne UK and the Poli and made an attempt for 14. 00:51:38.96\00:51:45.67 You've got yeah attempt after attempt after Thank And God is basically right, this is not 00:51:45.67\00:51:52.41 happening but in the process, people still try. And one of the ways they tried to do this 00:51:52.41\00:51:56.64 was to him to marry in Europe was a lot into Marion going on. Even when you go back to 00:51:56.64\00:52:03.22 the days of King right? And you're going believe what they should. You have the the 00:52:03.22\00:52:08.12 French daughter, Mary, and that the Prince of England. You know, you have the Spanish 00:52:08.12\00:52:12.93 King, Mary and the, you know, the daughter Denmark, a whatever it is. I'm just, you 00:52:12.93\00:52:16.20 know, throwing these things out and got a lot of intermingling. 00:52:16.20\00:52:19.40 And the purpose of that was to try to make alliances right. That could force some kind of 00:52:19.40\00:52:23.61 united. Even today. We have, you know, the European nations coming together and we've got 00:52:23.61\00:52:30.05 Brexit, right. We've got the British trying to exit Brexit. You know, and this this this 00:52:30.05\00:52:34.45 idea, you know, that if we could just unite, we could be powerful. You know, Daniel, I 00:52:34.45\00:52:39.09 mean, the book Genesis brings out the babylonian idea. There's nothing that can stop 00:52:39.09\00:52:44.33 us. If we unite together to build this Tara Babe, right. I think that was a symbol at one 00:52:44.33\00:52:49.13 point of the nations of Europe they tried to get the symbol of the tower of So what you 00:52:49.13\00:52:52.93 have here is you have a collection of powers on planet Earth that are trying to do 00:52:52.93\00:52:58.61 something that hasn't done since got predicted the fall of that first kingdom in the 00:52:58.61\00:53:02.41 transition into this iron in clay, which is still happening all the way down to the toes 00:53:02.41\00:53:08.48 when this rock comes down and hits the right to the statue and feet. Now, you do have a 00:53:08.48\00:53:13.42 little bit of movement taking place. When you get into revelation, we get revelation. 00:53:13.42\00:53:17.23 We're going to see some amazing things take place there in 00:53:17.23\00:53:21.76 relationship to. Another kingdom that comes up in this earth that has to one's like a lamb. Speaks 00:53:21.76\00:53:26.10 like a dragon. And then you've got 10 kings to give their power to this beast. This woman 00:53:26.10\00:53:32.17 writing this beast and you get to the very end of time and you have the collapse of that 00:53:32.17\00:53:35.91 whole thing. They burned with fire center center. We're going to touch on that. We'll 00:53:35.91\00:53:38.75 see what that looks like. But again, that should have last for a very short time. Nothing 00:53:38.75\00:53:45.19 actually breaks the prophetic outline that God has given us of the 4 kingdoms going down 00:53:45.19\00:53:48.32 to the 10 toes. And Daniel Chapter 7 is going to the 10 horns through locked up the 00:53:48.32\00:53:55.33 little horn. Nothing actually breaks that cycle. Even though people have tried. And this is 00:53:55.33\00:53:57.97 one of the ways that right you got is laying this out for us. A Wow. Use it all down into 00:53:57.97\00:54:05.44 that one. That's nice. Praise the Lord. Daniel started in have to to. I mean, I remember 00:54:05.44\00:54:11.28 when I first when I first went to Daniel Seminar, I wanted a new chapter 2, I tell you, you 00:54:11.28\00:54:17.55 know, this was in 1984, OK? So I'm dating myself a little bit here. Spokane, Washington, 00:54:17.55\00:54:24.43 1984. I'm going to stand seminar and right then, you know, I mean, we're just in. 00:54:24.43\00:54:31.07 We're still in the heart of the Cold War writing for and these avenues. So basically, 00:54:31.07\00:54:34.57 you know, laying out the book of Daniel Kerr revelation saying, 00:54:34.57\00:54:36.57 you know, the last powers are going to be Dustin such an the USSR right rescue, nowhere in 00:54:36.57\00:54:42.51 sight. And I'm looking at these prophecies and thinking to myself. Can I mean, could it be 00:54:42.51\00:54:50.12 because the world view is not lining up with the prophetic view. And this this is it's 00:54:50.12\00:54:53.69 really important. Friends do not allow what's happening the world to trip it with got says 00:54:53.69\00:54:58.46 Bible, let the Bible interprets out these can was companies. 00:54:58.46\00:55:03.43 King was go. But what God says it's going to stand for. that's right sure. Yeah. So. I was in 00:55:03.43\00:55:09.47 line up and, you know, I stepped out on faith and I said, you know what I went except with 00:55:09.47\00:55:11.57 these have been some teaching and 5 years later that worldview completely change the USSR 00:55:11.57\00:55:17.11 that's rumbling down and it was brought down by the Holy Alliance of the Papacy and 00:55:17.11\00:55:23.69 United States Reagan and John Paul, the second Rauf, this power down. I was like is 00:55:23.69\00:55:28.92 Bible prophecy. Amazing what you know. We go back to Daniel and then can as are and all 00:55:28.92\00:55:32.83 these other kingdoms. Hey, just go back to the 20 century. Yes, 00:55:32.83\00:55:37.77 we've got an amazing former prosecutor right in our backyard. We're still living 00:55:37.77\00:55:41.84 some of that to the statement that so real quick. We've got about a minute and 20 seconds. 00:55:41.84\00:55:45.91 What can our viewers look forward to in our next profiting waymarks study? So where do we 00:55:45.91\00:55:50.41 go from here past Daniel 2 were always going to stick with this 00:55:50.41\00:55:58.92 theme of Christian experience. This theme of getting this relationship with Christ 00:55:58.92\00:56:02.22 wouldn't always be putting that into the property is going to be studied and then we're going to 00:56:02.22\00:56:07.30 see is the opposite of that. The Celtics will of humanity. The Celtics exalt Haitian man 00:56:07.30\00:56:12.43 religion is is what is going to try to undermine Christ an increase of 5. So next session, 00:56:12.43\00:56:17.34 Daniel Chapter 7, we're going to see a repeat of the same history with a lot more detail. We 00:56:17.34\00:56:22.31 call with Pete and in the long we're going to see a little harm. Pluck up 3 quarters will 00:56:22.31\00:56:25.35 see that little horn to a number of things. Give us another 00:56:25.35\00:56:28.58 number of characteristics want to pass it back to. But that's what we can OK. So we're going 00:56:28.58\00:56:32.52 to Daniel 7 next time, know, say and you say may connect the chapters in Sevens next. All 00:56:32.52\00:56:36.59 right. All right. You heard it here.
