Sydney is the oldest and biggest Australian city. 00:00:25.72\00:00:29.09 The Gadigal people of the Eora-nation was the traditional 00:00:29.12\00:00:33.56 owners of the land now called Sydney. 00:00:33.60\00:00:36.10 It was first settled by the British in 1788 as a colony of 00:00:36.13\00:00:41.24 exile convicts an is grown into one of the most multicultural 00:00:41.27\00:00:46.14 cities. Today it's home to over five million people 00:00:46.17\00:00:50.81 who speak over 250 languages. 00:00:50.85\00:00:53.85 There are 658 suburbs in Sydney and they cover over 2,500 square 00:00:53.88\00:01:00.56 kilometers making it larger in area than both London 00:01:00.59\00:01:05.13 and New York. The city is set on one of the worlds deepest 00:01:05.16\00:01:09.86 and most stunning harbors and is home to world-renowned 00:01:09.90\00:01:14.20 landmarks like the Sydney Harbor Bridge, it's nicknamed 00:01:14.24\00:01:18.14 the Coat Hanger because of its arched base design and is the 00:01:18.17\00:01:23.11 tallest steel arch bridge and the widest long-span bridge 00:01:23.14\00:01:27.95 in the world. It was finished in 1932 and took 272,000 liters 00:01:27.98\00:01:35.72 of paint to cover and that was just the first coat. 00:01:35.76\00:01:38.99 Then, there's the spectacular Sydney Opera House 00:01:39.03\00:01:43.57 with its unique series of gleaming white sail-shaped 00:01:43.60\00:01:48.10 shells as its roof structure. 00:01:48.14\00:01:49.80 It was completed in 1973 taking 14 years and 10,000 construction 00:01:49.84\00:01:57.18 workers to build with a final total cost of $102,000,000, 00:01:57.21\00:02:02.82 more than 14 time the originally intended price. 00:02:02.85\00:02:08.66 Millions of Sydney-siders use the iconic Sydney ferries 00:02:08.69\00:02:12.83 to travel to various locations around the harbor each year. 00:02:12.86\00:02:16.50 Ferry routes fan out in multiple directions as the 32 ferries 00:02:16.53\00:02:22.97 in the network transport their passengers around the harbor. 00:02:23.00\00:02:26.98 Sydney is home to the renowned Bondi Beach, 00:02:27.01\00:02:31.38 the core of Sydney's alluring beach-lifestyle and thriving 00:02:31.41\00:02:35.65 surf- culture. It's one of the most famous patches of sand 00:02:35.68\00:02:39.85 in Australia and beyond. 00:02:39.89\00:02:41.92 Sydney is also home to many world-famous celebrities, 00:02:41.96\00:02:47.50 politicians, and sports people and it's a city full of colorful 00:02:47.53\00:02:52.70 stories that cover virtually every aspect of its life 00:02:52.73\00:02:56.71 people, places, and events. Along with these moving and 00:02:56.74\00:03:02.44 fascinating stories come the urban myths legends and colorful 00:03:02.48\00:03:07.02 tales. From panthers living on the outskirts of the city 00:03:07.05\00:03:11.09 to bodies hidden in the Sydney Harbor Bridge, 00:03:11.12\00:03:14.26 they fascinate and amuse us. Just like the story of the man 00:03:14.29\00:03:19.56 who kept the people of Sydney safe from lion attacks. 00:03:19.59\00:03:22.93 Although humorous and a bit ridiculous the story reminds 00:03:22.96\00:03:27.14 us that we can face the future without fear, and that's 00:03:27.17\00:03:32.24 something we can deal with today. 00:03:32.27\00:03:35.18 An amusing little story or urban myth tells of a man who walked 00:03:52.83\00:03:59.53 the streets of Sydney always snapping his fingers 00:03:59.57\00:04:03.30 someone asked him why he was doing it and he replied 00:04:03.34\00:04:08.14 to keep the lions away. He was reminded that there hadn't been 00:04:08.18\00:04:13.82 any lions on the streets of Sydney for a long time. 00:04:13.85\00:04:16.75 And at that, he answered triumphantly, effective isn't 00:04:16.79\00:04:21.86 it? We smiled and the method used by this deluded person 00:04:21.89\00:04:26.33 dealing with his problem yet how many of us are using equally 00:04:26.36\00:04:31.40 foolish methods in dealing with our own problems and fears. 00:04:31.43\00:04:35.77 All the while killing ourselves that they're effective. 00:04:35.80\00:04:39.91 Consider for example our preoccupation with the future. 00:04:39.94\00:04:46.11 It would seem that ingrained in the human mind is a fear 00:04:46.15\00:04:51.05 of the unknown, an intense desire to know what lies ahead. 00:04:51.09\00:04:56.26 This is demonstrated by the countless millions in our world 00:04:56.29\00:05:00.46 today who read and follow astrological forecast columns. 00:05:00.50\00:05:05.30 found in our newspaper, magazines, and online. 00:05:05.33\00:05:09.14 This method of dealing with the problem of fear and 00:05:09.17\00:05:13.58 uncertainty concerning the future has made the psychics, 00:05:13.61\00:05:17.28 the astrologists, the clairvoyants and the Fortune 00:05:17.31\00:05:19.95 tellers, the high priests of our day. Recent research shows 00:05:20.02\00:05:25.95 that... to some extent but is this the answer to our need to 00:05:34.73\00:05:40.57 discover what lies ahead, or are we merely snapping our fingers 00:05:40.60\00:05:45.21 and deluding ourselves that we are effectively dealing with 00:05:45.24\00:05:49.41 these lions. 00:05:49.44\00:05:50.78 The psychics, astrologists, clairvoyants and fortune tellers 00:05:50.81\00:05:55.28 have failed to adequately provide reliable answers 00:05:55.32\00:05:59.15 regarding the future of our world 00:05:59.19\00:06:02.12 I believe there is a better way, a better way that is clearly 00:06:02.16\00:06:07.43 demonstrated in the experience of one of the greatest kings 00:06:07.46\00:06:11.23 this world has known. 00:06:11.27\00:06:13.20 Our story unfolds in the modern day land of Iraq unlike today 00:06:14.57\00:06:21.18 where the place is in great military-political turmoil 00:06:21.21\00:06:24.98 just over 2,600 years ago, it was firmly under the control 00:06:25.01\00:06:31.29 of a great warrior King and powerful leader who ruled an 00:06:31.32\00:06:34.89 empire known as ancient Babylon. His rule stretched through most 00:06:34.92\00:06:39.59 of the Middle East and at the time, this was the center of 00:06:39.83\00:06:43.30 the world. The king was Nebuchadnezzar and he 00:06:43.33\00:06:47.44 reigned from 605 BC to 652 BC for 57 years. 00:06:47.47\00:06:53.27 One night Nebuchadnezzar's sleep was disturbed by his 00:06:53.31\00:06:58.58 fears for the future Nebuchadnezzar was one of the 00:06:58.61\00:07:02.45 greatest rulers of the ancient world, his power was supreme 00:07:02.48\00:07:06.32 and unchallenged. His empire covered much of the then known 00:07:06.35\00:07:10.99 world and his capital Babylon had become the greatest center 00:07:11.03\00:07:15.16 of trade, architecture, art, and astronomy of the time. 00:07:15.20\00:07:20.34 He also built an enormous palace that included the famous 00:07:20.37\00:07:25.17 Hanging Gardens of Babylon which were considered one of the 00:07:25.21\00:07:28.24 Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 00:07:28.28\00:07:30.65 Yet, this night his sleep was troubled as he anxiously 00:07:30.68\00:07:36.32 contemplated his destiny. As he looked questioningly 00:07:36.35\00:07:40.59 into the future, he wondered for how long his future would last 00:07:40.62\00:07:45.03 and what the future held in store for him, his family, 00:07:45.06\00:07:49.43 his world empire. With his mind preoccupied with the 00:07:49.46\00:07:53.34 future, the king had a strange dream. 00:07:53.37\00:07:57.11 When he awoke the next morning he sensed that the dream had 00:07:57.14\00:08:01.51 great significance regarding the future. Yet, he was confused 00:08:01.54\00:08:05.91 because he couldn't remember the details of the dream. 00:08:05.95\00:08:09.58 As with many people today astrology and under Psychic 00:08:09.62\00:08:14.36 phenomena dominated the mind and decisions of 00:08:14.39\00:08:17.49 King Nebuchadnezzar, among his court advisors were the world's 00:08:17.53\00:08:22.73 leading magicians, enchanters, sorceress and astrologers. 00:08:22.76\00:08:27.14 The king snapped his fingers and these specialists 00:08:27.17\00:08:31.97 in the field of the occult was summoned to the royal court 00:08:32.01\00:08:35.44 to recall and interpret the dream. 00:08:35.48\00:08:38.68 It's all recorded in the Bible book of Daniel chapter two. 00:08:38.71\00:08:42.95 Now this fraternity of mystics claimed to have psychic powers 00:09:09.44\00:09:14.25 and to be in contact with the gods, they claimed to be able to 00:09:14.28\00:09:18.75 read the stars and foretell the future. 00:09:18.79\00:09:21.86 Now the king gave them a unique opportunity to reveal their 00:09:21.89\00:09:26.83 talents and demonstrate their psychic powers 00:09:26.86\00:09:30.33 it was up to them to either prove their claims 00:09:30.37\00:09:34.37 or expose their deceit. 00:09:34.40\00:09:36.50 Well, the hesitant gestures, time-wasting, and feeble excuses 00:09:36.54\00:09:42.94 of these so-called Wiseman soon indicated to the king 00:09:42.98\00:09:47.92 that they were frauds. They had to admit that they couldn't 00:09:47.95\00:09:51.95 tell the king his dream or its interpretation, 00:09:51.99\00:09:54.99 they had to confess that astrology didn't really work. 00:09:55.02\00:09:59.93 Well King Nebuchadnezzar wasn't used to being messed around 00:09:59.96\00:10:03.80 and furious of being deceived by their claims, 00:10:03.83\00:10:07.54 he commanded that all the Wiseman of Babylon be executed. 00:10:07.57\00:10:12.01 Now, numbered among the wise and learned elite of the empire 00:10:12.04\00:10:17.55 was a young Hebrew named Daniel who worshiped the one true God 00:10:17.58\00:10:22.78 of heaven. He had been captured by Nebuchadnezzar's army during 00:10:22.82\00:10:27.72 his first attack on Jerusalem in 605 B.C. and had been taken 00:10:27.76\00:10:32.29 prisoner to Babylon. 00:10:32.33\00:10:34.83 It was customary for Babylonian kings to select the finest young 00:10:34.86\00:10:39.47 scholars and the most talented captives and to educate them 00:10:39.50\00:10:43.71 to service advisors in the royal palace. 00:10:43.74\00:10:46.78 Now, although Daniel knew nothing of the events 00:10:46.81\00:10:50.78 surrounding the king's dream, the soldiers came for him as 00:10:50.81\00:10:54.92 well for he was considered a wise man. Finding himself under 00:10:54.95\00:11:00.59 sentence of death Daniel didn't despair, he knew that 00:11:00.62\00:11:05.26 the God of heaven whom he worshiped was well able to 00:11:05.29\00:11:08.93 reveal both the king's dream and it's meaning. 00:11:08.96\00:11:12.90 So Daniel asked for an audience with the king 00:11:12.93\00:11:16.57 and promised him that given time he would return with the 00:11:16.60\00:11:20.68 desired information. Permission was granted and Daniel and his 00:11:20.71\00:11:25.81 companions spent much of the night in prayer, 00:11:25.85\00:11:29.58 and God did not fail to hear and answer those prayers. 00:11:29.62\00:11:34.49 Listen to what the Bible tells us. 00:11:34.52\00:11:36.73 Daniel was back at the palace the next morning prepared 00:11:45.87\00:11:50.41 to tell the king all that he wanted to know. 00:11:50.44\00:11:53.11 Immediately Nebuchadnezzar inquired... 00:11:53.14\00:11:56.31 Without hesitation Daniel replied... 00:12:01.55\00:12:05.22 There was no hint of boasting in Daniel's voice as he revealed 00:12:23.97\00:12:27.61 what God had shown him. He started by pointing out 00:12:27.64\00:12:31.41 the failure of the astrologers and psychics. 00:12:31.45\00:12:34.72 He told the king that a knowledge of future events 00:12:34.75\00:12:38.55 is not to be found in astrology or in the mystic arts of occults 00:12:38.59\00:12:43.93 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. 00:12:43.96\00:12:48.70 This is the only source of dependable information 00:12:48.73\00:12:53.37 about the future, the God of heaven. 00:12:53.40\00:12:55.90 Daniel then proceeded to outline the entire dream. 00:12:55.94\00:13:01.41 Here it is. 00:13:01.44\00:13:02.88 So Daniel tells the king that his dream centered around 00:13:22.96\00:13:28.20 a huge statue, then he proceeds to provide all the details 00:13:28.24\00:13:32.91 about this statue. 00:13:32.94\00:13:34.38 Next, Daniel continues and describes exactly what happens 00:13:48.72\00:13:55.00 to the statue. 00:13:55.03\00:13:56.77 That's it, that's what the king dreamed. 00:14:29.03\00:14:32.53 Well the king could hardly contain his excitement 00:14:32.57\00:14:36.30 as he relived the scene of his dream that only a few hours 00:14:36.34\00:14:40.98 ago had flooded his mind. That's exactly what he dreamed. 00:14:41.01\00:14:46.35 It was a giant statue made of different metals, 00:14:46.38\00:14:50.22 it had a golden head and silver arms and brass thighs 00:14:50.25\00:14:54.82 and iron legs and clay feet mixed with iron. 00:14:54.86\00:14:58.46 And then a giant rock flew out of the sky and smashed it 00:14:58.49\00:15:04.47 to pieces and then the wind blew the pieces away 00:15:04.50\00:15:08.77 and the rock grew until it filled the whole earth. 00:15:08.80\00:15:11.61 Well, the king is amazed at the accurate description of his 00:15:11.64\00:15:16.71 dream. But now, he wants to know what it all means 00:15:16.75\00:15:21.25 he impatiently waits for the interpretation. 00:15:21.28\00:15:25.65 Daniel began... 00:15:25.69\00:15:28.49 So Daniel identified the head of gold as representing 00:15:37.50\00:15:42.97 Nebuchadnezzar's magnificent king of Babylon. 00:15:43.00\00:15:46.31 But the interpretation doesn't end there, for by this dream 00:15:46.34\00:15:52.31 God is not only answering Nebuchadnezzar's questions 00:15:52.35\00:15:56.25 about the future but yours and mine as well. 00:15:56.28\00:16:00.06 We will soon learn that this dream given by God speaks 00:16:00.09\00:16:06.06 in a very dramatic way to each of us. 00:16:06.09\00:16:09.46 God is here unveiling the future giving history in advance 00:16:09.50\00:16:14.97 by tracing the rise and fall of world powers 00:16:15.00\00:16:18.67 from Nebuchadnezzar's day to our time and beyond. 00:16:18.71\00:16:23.31 Yes, the dream reaches right down through history 00:16:23.35\00:16:28.18 and finds its climax in the days which we are living. 00:16:28.22\00:16:32.32 Daniel continued... 00:16:32.35\00:16:34.69 Courageously Daniel informed the king that his golden kingdom 00:16:40.30\00:16:45.90 is not to last forever but one day would be overthrown. 00:16:45.93\00:16:50.41 And so it turned out for the Meads and Persians represented 00:16:50.44\00:16:56.54 in the dream by the chest and arms of silver defeated the 00:16:56.58\00:17:00.38 Babylonians in 539 BC and dominated the world political 00:17:00.42\00:17:05.15 scene for two centuries. At its height, It encompassed 00:17:05.19\00:17:10.93 the areas of modern-day Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and parts of 00:17:10.96\00:17:16.33 Afghanistan, and Pakistan. 00:17:16.36\00:17:18.40 The Persians were the first people to establish routes to 00:17:18.43\00:17:23.81 communication between three continents Africa, Asia, 00:17:23.84\00:17:28.01 and Europe. They built many new roads and developed 00:17:28.04\00:17:32.01 the world's first postal service but the Persian Empire wasn't 00:17:32.05\00:17:37.69 to last forever. Continuing on... 00:17:37.72\00:17:41.22 Daniel told of a third kingdom. 00:17:41.26\00:17:48.46 The Greeks under the brilliant leadership of Alexander the 00:17:48.50\00:17:53.40 Great defeated the Persians in the Battle of Arabella in 331 00:17:53.44\00:17:58.27 B.C. Alexander the Great was one of the greatest military 00:17:58.31\00:18:03.88 genius's of all time. He managed to conquer on foot twenty 00:18:03.91\00:18:08.78 million subjects in over three million square kilometers in 00:18:08.82\00:18:13.15 something like just four years or by the time he was 32 years 00:18:13.19\00:18:18.19 old. He appeared completely unstoppable. 00:18:18.23\00:18:22.03 The ancient Jewish historian Josephus documented how... 00:18:22.06\00:18:26.77 However this third kingdom represented in the king's 00:18:34.01\00:18:39.01 dream by the belly and thighs of bronze was to end 00:18:39.05\00:18:43.39 and be followed by a fourth kingdom. For Daniel said... 00:18:43.42\00:18:47.46 The Greek Empire eventually fell into decline. 00:19:03.10\00:19:07.74 In 168 B.C., the Iron monarchy of Rome, a new and rising 00:19:07.78\00:19:13.88 world power defeated the Greeks in the Battle of Pigna 00:19:13.92\00:19:17.79 and grasped the scepter of world control. 00:19:17.82\00:19:21.49 The fourth kingdom represented in the dream by the legs of iron 00:19:21.52\00:19:26.39 was the most enduring and extensive of the four world 00:19:26.43\00:19:30.87 empires. It was the Romans who ruled the world when 00:19:30.90\00:19:35.54 Jesus Christ was born, and they were indeed an Iron Empire 00:19:35.57\00:19:39.84 more ferocious than any army, the world has ever seen. 00:19:39.87\00:19:44.15 And literally stomped all over Europe and the middle east 00:19:44.18\00:19:48.38 subjecting everything in their path. 00:19:48.42\00:19:51.12 But even Rome wouldn't last forever and it too would fall. 00:19:51.15\00:19:56.96 King Nebuchadnezzar listened spellbound as Daniel opened 00:19:56.99\00:20:04.47 up the last section of the dream, here the whole complexion 00:20:04.50\00:20:08.37 of the dream changed. Amazingly no Fifth World Empire emerged 00:20:08.40\00:20:15.24 from the ruins of the Roman Empire. 00:20:15.28\00:20:16.64 Rather, as Daniel tells King Nebuchadnezzar... 00:20:16.68\00:20:20.78 Daniel stressed the point of division even as iron and clay 00:20:37.83\00:20:44.21 cannot and will not bind or unite, so the Roman Empire would 00:20:44.24\00:20:50.05 disintegrate into 10 nations which would never be united 00:20:50.08\00:20:54.75 into a universal empire as Rome once was. 00:20:54.78\00:20:58.65 The mighty empire of Rome finally collapsed in A.D. 476 00:20:58.69\00:21:05.39 with the Germanic Leader Odoasa staged a revolt 00:21:05.43\00:21:09.03 and deposed the emperor Romulus Augustus. The empire was divided 00:21:09.06\00:21:14.30 among the barbarian tribes which developed into the 00:21:14.34\00:21:17.84 nations of modern Europe. Some strong as iron 00:21:17.87\00:21:21.61 some weak as clay, but hopelessly divided. 00:21:21.64\00:21:26.55 Numerous military leaders including Napoleon, 00:21:26.58\00:21:30.72 Kaiser Wilhelm, and Adolf Hitler have tried to unify these 00:21:30.75\00:21:36.02 nations into a single mighty empire again. 00:21:36.06\00:21:39.73 However, all these attempts have met with failure 00:21:39.76\00:21:44.37 for as the prophecy predicted long ago... 00:21:44.40\00:21:47.54 God said that nobody would re-unite Europe, the western 00:21:56.51\00:22:02.58 Roman Empire and that's exactly what's happened. 00:22:02.62\00:22:06.79 and continues to hold true to today. We see a divided and 00:22:06.82\00:22:12.26 unstable Europe. In 2016, the British people voted to leave 00:22:12.29\00:22:18.93 the European Union for the first time ever. 00:22:18.97\00:22:22.70 One of the 28 member nations of the European Union 00:22:22.74\00:22:26.57 voted to leave. The British decision is unsettled in EU 00:22:26.61\00:22:31.98 and raised uncertainty about its future 00:22:32.01\00:22:35.15 it's a reminder of how uncertain and divided Europe is. 00:22:35.18\00:22:40.36 Daniel then proceeded to the climax of the dream 00:22:40.39\00:22:45.03 to the most important part of the prophecy for those of us 00:22:45.06\00:22:49.46 living in the 2020s. Here's what he said... 00:22:49.50\00:22:52.13 God says that in the days of the kings represented by 00:23:08.78\00:23:17.49 the ten toes of the image, the nations of modern Europe today, 00:23:17.53\00:23:21.16 He will set up an eternal kingdom to end all earthly 00:23:21.20\00:23:25.87 kingdoms. This eternal kingdom was represented in the dream 00:23:25.90\00:23:30.87 by the rock that struck the image on its feet of iron 00:23:30.91\00:23:34.01 and clay thus destroying it. And so the next great drama 00:23:34.04\00:23:39.98 on the stage of human history is the second coming 00:23:40.02\00:23:43.79 of Jesus Christ... 00:23:43.82\00:23:45.15 That's what the Bible says. 00:23:54.80\00:23:57.43 Here is the true source of knowledge and hope concerning 00:23:57.47\00:24:01.00 the future. This world is in God's hands. 00:24:01.04\00:24:05.47 He is in control. He orders world events. 00:24:05.51\00:24:09.88 There is a plan and it will not fail. 00:24:09.91\00:24:13.01 For history proved that the dream is true and the 00:24:13.05\00:24:17.35 interpretation trustworthy. 00:24:17.39\00:24:19.72 Four world empires... 00:24:19.75\00:24:26.90 Everyone of them has already come and gone. 00:24:26.93\00:24:30.30 Then a divided Europe which is still with us today. 00:24:30.33\00:24:34.54 You and I are living under the last human government 00:24:34.57\00:24:39.17 described in the prophecy. We are living in the toenails 00:24:39.21\00:24:44.18 of the image. The next great event in this prophecy 00:24:44.21\00:24:47.95 is the setting up of God's kingdom. 00:24:47.98\00:24:50.82 Jesus Christ is soon to establish His eternal kingdom 00:24:50.85\00:24:55.96 a kingdom that has been made possible through Calvary. 00:24:55.99\00:25:00.20 Now is the time to pray with the thief who accepted Jesus 00:25:00.23\00:25:04.70 on the cross...Lord, remember me when you come into 00:25:04.73\00:25:09.67 your kingdom.
