 recent sermons and more. Thanks for listening, and be sure to add this show to your library

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.820
 if you'd like to automatically receive new episodes each week.

00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:31.460
 Good morning. If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us

00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:38.280
 in Daniel chapter 1. We are starting a new series, our fall series, as we're going to walk through

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:44.720
 Daniel. If you do not have a Bible, that's okay. We have some available at the back after the

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:49.780
 service. Come back there. Would love to be able to give you one. Please stop by there. Would love

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:53.900
 to be able to gift you that, gift you a copy of God's Word so that you have that. Also, if you're

00:00:53.900 --> 00:00:58.340
 a first-time guest, we count it as a privilege and an honor that you are here worshiping with us

00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:02.780
 today. And so as well, my wife and I will be back at that black table at the end of the service. If

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:07.720
 you wouldn't mind stopping by, we would love to meet you, and just thank you for personally being here

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:14.120
 and worshiping with us today. So with that said, I'm going to read Daniel chapter 1 verse 8 to you

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.100
 this morning. It says,

00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:22.840
 but Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food or with the wine

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:31.680
 that he drank. Therefore, he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.040
 Would you pray with me? God, we come to you this morning, Lord, we thank you for a beautiful,

00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:42.600
 wonderful time of worship. God, we thank you for the truth of those songs that while sometimes,

00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:47.280
 Lord, our reality does not feel like the things that you have for us are good,

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.620
 our reality may want to deceive us from what is going on, our perception of reality, Lord. We

00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:58.420
 can know and we can trust in the truth of your Word and the truth of who you are, God,

00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:04.900
 to know that you have the plans for us, to use us for your name and for your kingdom.

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:10.080
 God, I pray that as we study your Word this morning, I pray that it would penetrate to the very

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:17.860
 heart of who we are. God, that we would experience conviction over our sin. God, that we would be

00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:23.640
 drawn to the sweet spot of repentance. Lord, if there's anyone here that does not know Jesus Christ

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:28.540
 as their Lord and Savior, today would be the day of their salvation. So, God, may these not be the

00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:33.800
 words that I want to speak or that I want to share, God, but may it be the truth of your Word.

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:41.200
 Lord, and may I be faithful in communicating. We ask all these things in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:02:41.620 --> 00:02:46.680
 Amen. Well, we are getting started in this new series. If you're new with this, it's already coming

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.620
 maybe this summer or maybe this is your first week. When we do a study through the book of the Bible,

00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:54.660
 we will do that. We will study the entire book. We're going to work chapter by chapter,

00:02:54.660 --> 00:03:00.220
 verse by verse, through Daniel. A couple of things. I want to kind of take this week and give us an

00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:05.500
 introduction into the book of Daniel. A couple of things that I want you guys to know as we go

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:09.400
 through this book. Number one is that there's five books in the Bible that are considered major

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.400
 prophets. All right, we got Isaiah, Jeremiah with lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel. But Daniel is a

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.120
 little unique and a little different than the other major prophets that we see in Scripture. Now,

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:26.380
 there's major prophets and minor prophets. It doesn't mean that major prophets have the major

00:03:26.380 --> 00:03:32.480
 announcements and the minor prophets have minors. It just deals with the amount of information in

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:38.520
 which they are sharing. So these will fall into our longer books, the major prophets will be. Now,

00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:43.420
 some things about Daniel that I think are very interesting and of note, some things that I learned

00:03:43.420 --> 00:03:49.400
 this week as we were studying and preparing for this message, and that the book of Daniel contains the

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:57.920
 most fulfilled prophecies of any book of the Bible. All right, so all of the prophetic books, the prophecies

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:02.860
 in them have happened, or we are confident they will happen. But of all the prophecies that have

00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:08.980
 currently been fulfilled, Daniel has the most of those. And when we look at the New Testament prophecy of

00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:16.240
 that that's quoted, Daniel is quoted more than any other Old Testament book. And so this is what we

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:22.180
 see from Daniel. So this is a very important book. But I was talking to one of our church members this week,

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:28.460
 and he said, you know, I'm preparing to kind of walk through this with this small group. He's reading

00:04:28.460 --> 00:04:34.100
 through this, and he said, you know, I was very comfortable and very confident in Daniel's chapter

00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:39.680
 one through six. And then he said, and then I got to chapter seven, and I was like, wow. All right. And so

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.180
 that would probably fall with most of us in here, right? And the reason being is Daniel is divided into

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:51.820
 two sections. And so chapters one through six, which will take about half of the time for us to get

00:04:51.820 --> 00:04:56.340
 through, are going to deal with the man Daniel. They're going to deal, actually start off with

00:04:56.340 --> 00:05:04.860
 teenage boy Daniel, and we're going to see Daniel grow in a narrative about Daniel's obedience to God.

00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:09.360
 So it's a very common of what we've seen as we've studied through different Old Testament books of

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.020
 the Bible. We'll see a narrative, a historical narrative of inspired God's word about this

00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:22.320
 boy who grew into a man, Daniel, and his faithful obedience to God. And then what we'll find in

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:28.340
 chapters seven through 12, we'll deal with the message of Daniel, because Daniel is a prophet.

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:37.540
 And we'll deal with the message of Daniel, an apocalyptic vision that God gives Daniel.

00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:47.060
 And I hope that you will commit with me to not do any deep dives on YouTube, right, to kind of figure

00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:54.300
 out what some of this stuff is talking about. But we'll journey through this together. I read a pastor

00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:59.460
 who was preaching this, and here's what he said, and this pastor, the message that I read, he preached

00:05:59.460 --> 00:06:08.980
 in 19, October 21st, 1979. If you were alive on October 21st, 1979, raise your hand.

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.800
 My people. All right, so here we go. Here's what he said.

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:26.300
 The book of Daniel tells me how to live for God in this evil age. And it tells me what it will be like

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:36.300
 when I live with God in that golden age. The beauty of the hope of the book of Daniel.

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:45.620
 The beauty of the hope of Scripture. Of what it is like, whether it's 1979, 1939, or today.

00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:58.280
 What it is like to live for God in this age. All but the beauty of what it'll be to live with God

00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:05.880
 in the time to come. So the first two verses are very important in Daniel. And so I want us to read

00:07:05.880 --> 00:07:10.900
 this to kind of understand the setting. Sometimes in these Old Testament books, they're different than

00:07:10.900 --> 00:07:15.700
 our New Testament letters, where we jump into a New Testament letter, and it's reading the letter.

00:07:15.900 --> 00:07:22.200
 But in this, we're reading a historical aspect of this as well. So we kind of jump into the story. So

00:07:22.200 --> 00:07:25.040
 let's look at these. Daniel chapter 1, verses 1 and 2.

00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:34.740
 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:43.780
 and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his hand

00:07:43.780 --> 00:07:55.220
 With some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house

00:07:55.220 --> 00:08:08.840
 of his God, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his God. So very important, a theme that we're going to

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:17.580
 see throughout Daniel. A theme that we're going to see in the historical aspect of the life of Daniel,

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:23.560
 chapters 1 through 6, and what we'll see through the vision and the prophecy of Daniel in 7 through 12,

00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:30.580
 is the sovereign purpose of God. The sovereign purpose of God. Now this is a theme throughout all

00:08:30.580 --> 00:08:36.660
 of Scripture. Absolutely. It's a theme in Genesis. When we studied it, it's a theme as we look toward

00:08:36.660 --> 00:08:42.520
 any part of Scripture of what we did. It's God's sovereign purpose that God is implementing in here.

00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:48.520
 And so what God does is he gives us kind of two pictures of what is happening here in this opening

00:08:48.520 --> 00:08:56.160
 of Daniel. Verse 1 gives us a very important historical context of what we see. In the third year

00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:04.820
 of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:15.040
 and besieged it. This is a historical statement of fact. So nearly 600 years before the coming of

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:20.920
 Christ is what we see happening here in verse 1. Now what has been happening to lead up to this,

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:28.100
 it would take a year's worth of Sundays to walk all the way through this. But God has been warning

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:33.220
 his people through what God does, through the prophets, before that if they do not repent,

00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:41.340
 if they do not turn, if they not come back to him, if they do not obey, then God will judge them.

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:47.100
 And that God's judgment is going to come in the form of captivity.

00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:54.640
 And so this will happen historically through three major attacks that we see here. The first in 605 BC,

00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:03.260
 597, and then the third in 587. And this is historical record. This is important for us. If you're here,

00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:10.160
 if you're curious about our faith, if you're here and you're skeptical about our faith, can I tell you

00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:18.860
 that our Word, the Word of God, is not written with mythologies and stories that are made up by the hand of the author

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:24.140
 that created them. But what we see is the very true, living, powerful Word of God

00:10:24.140 --> 00:10:30.760
 and that what we find in this is the accuracy of historical record.

00:10:32.140 --> 00:10:36.540
 And so as we come through, we know that this happens and that this takes place and you can go

00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:42.120
 study the Jewish historians, you can study modern-day historians and see that these events happened.

00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:47.500
 We get the historical context. God's people have rebelled, God's people have rebelled,

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.520
 God's people have rebelled. They face the judgment. This happens through a historical event

00:10:52.520 --> 00:10:58.620
 of the captivity that we find. Jehoiakim is weak. He's ungodly.

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.220
 Nebuchadnezzar is the pagan king of Babylon.

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:09.580
 So in the leadership of what we see in the very early introduction

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:13.320
 is not great.

00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.360
 But then verse 2 gives us

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.180
 the theological context

00:11:20.180 --> 00:11:21.940
 of Daniel.

00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:24.500
 It gives us

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:26.820
 what we as Christians

00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:29.960
 can hold to

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.160
 and can claim.

00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.180
 I love the

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:36.920
 song

00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:39.400
 that our worship team

00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:40.160
 led us through.

00:11:40.760 --> 00:11:43.320
 He has good plans for me.

00:11:44.920 --> 00:11:47.140
 Whether deserts or garden.

00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:50.440
 Whether feast or famine.

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.420
 And this is the truth of what we're reminded of here in verse 2.

00:11:58.220 --> 00:11:59.080
 And the Lord

00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.680
 gave

00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:05.220
 and the Lord

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:07.160
 gave

00:12:07.160 --> 00:12:09.320
 Jehoiakim

00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.900
 king

00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:12.460
 of Judah

00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:13.900
 into

00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:15.520
 his hand.

00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:18.360
 this is important.

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.900
 This is important.

00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:22.880
 As we look at the sovereign plan,

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.300
 and I hope you all may join us

00:12:25.300 --> 00:12:26.820
 each and every week

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:28.140
 as we journey through this.

00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:31.100
 God said,

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.140
 look how powerful

00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:33.620
 I am

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:35.120
 for my good

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.340
 and sovereign

00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:37.240
 purposes.

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:39.080
 God's been saying

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:39.100
 God's been saying

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:39.860
 through his prophets,

00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:41.360
 listen to me,

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.060
 listen to me,

00:12:42.140 --> 00:12:42.740
 listen to me,

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:43.400
 listen to me.

00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:44.960
 But they would not listen.

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.020
 They would not.

00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:47.240
 In fact,

00:12:47.280 --> 00:12:48.200
 2 Chronicles

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.720
 36-16

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.400
 describes

00:12:52.400 --> 00:12:53.820
 the response

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:55.380
 of God's people

00:12:55.380 --> 00:12:57.120
 to his prophets.

00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:58.920
 Let's look at this.

00:12:59.120 --> 00:12:59.920
 but they kept

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:00.520
 mocking

00:13:00.520 --> 00:13:02.780
 the messengers

00:13:02.780 --> 00:13:03.640
 of God,

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:05.860
 despising

00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:06.840
 his words

00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.300
 and scoffing

00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:09.480
 at his prophets

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.160
 until

00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:12.560
 the wrath

00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:13.520
 of the Lord

00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:14.420
 rose

00:13:14.420 --> 00:13:15.000
 against

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.980
 his people

00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:17.380
 until

00:13:17.380 --> 00:13:18.280
 there was no

00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:18.660
 remedy.

00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:20.080
 Don't mock

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:20.440
 God.

00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:21.980
 Listen to

00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:22.540
 his word.

00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:24.340
 Do what

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:24.660
 he's called

00:13:24.660 --> 00:13:25.000
 you to do.

00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:25.680
 It's his people.

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.300
 This is who

00:13:27.300 --> 00:13:27.820
 we're to be.

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.900
 And what we see

00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:30.540
 here is

00:13:30.540 --> 00:13:31.420
 God says

00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:32.240
 what he'll do.

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:32.720
 Like this

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:33.720
 should not come

00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:34.340
 as surprise.

00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:35.240
 This should not come

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:35.880
 as I didn't see

00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:36.380
 this coming.

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:37.120
 Like when we look

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:37.740
 at God's word

00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:38.560
 and the expectations

00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:39.280
 and the hope

00:13:39.280 --> 00:13:39.920
 that we find

00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:40.340
 from him

00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:41.160
 and his grace

00:13:41.160 --> 00:13:41.900
 and his mercy

00:13:41.900 --> 00:13:43.300
 of what he desires

00:13:43.300 --> 00:13:43.980
 and longs

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:44.900
 to do for you

00:13:44.900 --> 00:13:46.060
 and to do for I.

00:13:47.260 --> 00:13:47.860
 And this is what

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.540
 he's called us to.

00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:49.440
 But here's what

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:50.040
 God says he'll do.

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:51.860
 Jeremiah 25-9

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.480
 Therefore,

00:13:52.760 --> 00:13:53.560
 thus says the Lord

00:13:53.560 --> 00:13:54.060
 of hosts,

00:13:54.380 --> 00:13:55.080
 because you have

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.180
 not obeyed my words,

00:13:56.520 --> 00:13:56.780
 behold,

00:13:56.900 --> 00:13:57.400
 I will send

00:13:57.400 --> 00:13:58.380
 for all the tribes

00:13:58.380 --> 00:13:58.880
 of the north

00:13:58.880 --> 00:14:00.260
 declares the Lord

00:14:00.260 --> 00:14:01.540
 and for Nebuchadnezzar

00:14:01.540 --> 00:14:03.240
 the king of Babylon

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:04.380
 my servant

00:14:04.380 --> 00:14:05.720
 and I will bring them

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.800
 against this land

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:07.920
 and its inhabitants

00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:09.500
 and against all these

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:10.800
 surrounding nations.

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.360
 I will devote them

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:13.180
 to destruction

00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:17.540
 and make them a horror,

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:19.720
 a hissing

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.080
 and an everlasting

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.540
 desolation.

00:14:24.540 --> 00:14:25.980
 God says,

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:26.000
 God says,

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:26.280
 look,

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:27.980
 I've been telling you,

00:14:28.300 --> 00:14:29.280
 I've been telling you,

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.700
 I've been telling you

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:32.520
 and here's

00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:33.620
 what I'm going

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.460
 to do.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:36.760
 Mark Hood

00:14:36.760 --> 00:14:37.360
 and I

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.740
 were talking this morning.

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:39.100
 Mark

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:40.600
 is teaching

00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:41.980
 a Christian ethics class.

00:14:42.300 --> 00:14:42.980
 If you weren't here

00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:43.700
 for nine o'clock,

00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:44.720
 you missed out

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.660
 in discipleship time.

00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:47.580
 I'm in Tim Stewart's

00:14:47.580 --> 00:14:48.080
 scribbling

00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:49.000
 in the sand study.

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:50.000
 There's several studies

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.820
 that we've got going on.

00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:51.660
 You want to get connected

00:14:51.660 --> 00:14:52.240
 in one of these.

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.520
 Mark's teaching

00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:54.340
 the Christian ethics

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:55.180
 and I was talking through

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:56.200
 just this morning

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.740
 when I took my

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.800
 Christian ethics class

00:14:57.800 --> 00:14:58.860
 in seminary

00:14:58.860 --> 00:14:59.560
 and all we kind of

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:00.400
 navigated through

00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:00.920
 within here

00:15:00.920 --> 00:15:01.880
 and I remember

00:15:01.880 --> 00:15:03.200
 in a theology class

00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:03.960
 that I took,

00:15:04.020 --> 00:15:04.720
 we would have this

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.920
 conversation of,

00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:06.380
 you know,

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:08.240
 what can't God do?

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:10.160
 And sometimes

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:10.880
 we would get into

00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:11.480
 these silly

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.320
 like narratives

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:12.940
 with people,

00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:13.280
 right?

00:15:13.380 --> 00:15:13.620
 Like,

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.960
 can God create

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.500
 a boulder

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:16.780
 so big

00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:17.420
 that even God

00:15:17.420 --> 00:15:18.040
 can't move it,

00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:18.320
 right?

00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:19.420
 And you become

00:15:19.420 --> 00:15:20.060
 this dog

00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:21.100
 chasing your tail

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:21.880
 in this scenario

00:15:21.880 --> 00:15:23.460
 trying to rationalize

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:24.500
 through these things.

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.120
 But there is

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.820
 one thing

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:28.820
 that Scripture

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:31.360
 shares with us

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:32.760
 that God cannot do.

00:15:33.800 --> 00:15:35.480
 That God cannot act

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:36.400
 contrary

00:15:36.400 --> 00:15:38.480
 to his own character

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:38.980
 and nature.

00:15:40.180 --> 00:15:40.260
 Right?

00:15:40.920 --> 00:15:41.780
 And here's how

00:15:41.780 --> 00:15:42.380
 that plays out

00:15:42.380 --> 00:15:42.900
 for us.

00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:45.020
 And these are good things.

00:15:45.300 --> 00:15:46.040
 This isn't showing

00:15:46.040 --> 00:15:47.180
 the weakness of God.

00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.260
 This is showing

00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:50.000
 the holy power

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.740
 of God.

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.680
 That God cannot sin

00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:53.620
 because God is holy.

00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:55.860
 So take that off.

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.040
 Like,

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:56.720
 what you and I

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.460
 are really good

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:58.340
 and capable at

00:15:58.340 --> 00:15:59.040
 of sinning,

00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:00.380
 God cannot sin

00:16:00.380 --> 00:16:02.140
 because God is holy.

00:16:02.420 --> 00:16:03.660
 Specifically within that,

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.420
 what we'll see this morning,

00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:05.760
 is God cannot lie

00:16:05.760 --> 00:16:06.820
 because God is truth.

00:16:07.420 --> 00:16:08.960
 So if God says something,

00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:10.300
 then what God is communicating

00:16:10.300 --> 00:16:11.400
 is truth.

00:16:11.540 --> 00:16:12.600
 And then within there,

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:14.820
 God cannot overlook sin.

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:18.100
 God cannot overlook sin.

00:16:19.760 --> 00:16:21.040
 And there must be penalty.

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.760
 There must be payment for that.

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:24.340
 And praise God for us.

00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:25.040
 What we know

00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:26.960
 is that's the whole point

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.660
 of the cross.

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.860
 That God couldn't overlook

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:31.060
 your sin and my sin.

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.600
 So what he did

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.500
 is he sent his son

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:33.220
 to die on the cross

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:34.040
 for our sin.

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:36.300
 Because he is holy

00:16:36.300 --> 00:16:38.440
 and he is just.

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:40.780
 And so what we see

00:16:40.780 --> 00:16:41.280
 within this,

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:41.980
 what this means

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.760
 is that what God

00:16:42.760 --> 00:16:44.320
 has done in this,

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:44.640
 if you're like,

00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:45.860
 this seems harsh,

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.760
 this seems a little bit

00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:48.980
 strong-armed right here

00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:49.960
 that the Lord God

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.660
 gave over his people

00:16:52.660 --> 00:16:54.980
 to a savage,

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.000
 ruthless nation.

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.680
 But what it means

00:16:57.680 --> 00:16:58.360
 is that what God

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.120
 has done is right.

00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:01.180
 God cannot bypass

00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:01.860
 their sin.

00:17:02.900 --> 00:17:03.760
 God says what he's

00:17:03.760 --> 00:17:04.520
 going to do

00:17:04.520 --> 00:17:06.760
 and then God does it.

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.000
 So historically speaking,

00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:11.040
 verse one happens

00:17:11.040 --> 00:17:12.540
 and then theologically speaking,

00:17:12.540 --> 00:17:13.720
 verse two happens

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.280
 which means when we look

00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:16.260
 at the sovereign purpose

00:17:16.260 --> 00:17:17.600
 of God

00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:20.840
 is that this did not happen

00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:22.880
 through military cunning

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.440
 or schemes of man

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:25.940
 or earthly power

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:26.800
 of the sword.

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.520
 By the very hand

00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:32.260
 of God,

00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:35.160
 the Babylonians

00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.060
 besiege

00:17:37.060 --> 00:17:38.780
 God's people.

00:17:38.780 --> 00:17:43.600
 there's a big purpose.

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:46.700
 There's a great narrative

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:48.600
 that's playing out

00:17:48.600 --> 00:17:51.880
 both in these evil times

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.240
 and the times to come.

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.340
 And it's the power

00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:00.340
 of the hand of God

00:18:00.340 --> 00:18:03.040
 and the sovereign plans

00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:04.700
 of his purpose.

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:07.260
 there's another aspect

00:18:07.260 --> 00:18:08.320
 of what God

00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:09.520
 cannot do

00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:11.400
 that I want to reference

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.000
 in God not acting,

00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:14.280
 that God can't act

00:18:14.280 --> 00:18:15.660
 contrary to his character

00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:16.900
 and his nature

00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:19.220
 is we've said sometimes

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.380
 and I've said this

00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:21.760
 and this has really challenged

00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:23.580
 the things that we say

00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:24.100
 and what we mean

00:18:24.100 --> 00:18:24.700
 when we say them

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:25.660
 but I know

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:26.320
 that I've said before

00:18:26.320 --> 00:18:27.440
 that God thinks

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.520
 differently

00:18:28.520 --> 00:18:30.420
 than we do.

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:33.420
 God thinks differently

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:33.980
 than we do

00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:34.640
 but here's

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.800
 it's a half truth

00:18:36.800 --> 00:18:37.680
 it's a partial truth

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.440
 it's maybe not

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.480
 communicating effectively

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:40.140
 what we need it

00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:40.700
 to communicate

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:42.480
 but here's the truth

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.220
 about God's ability

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:44.720
 to think

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.580
 is that God

00:18:46.580 --> 00:18:48.060
 doesn't just

00:18:48.060 --> 00:18:49.380
 simply think

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:49.940
 differently

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.860
 than we do

00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:52.320
 but God

00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:53.380
 can't think

00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:54.280
 the way

00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:55.160
 that we do.

00:18:56.280 --> 00:18:57.000
 and that's not

00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:57.660
 because God

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:58.280
 is limited

00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:00.140
 it's because

00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:01.240
 you and I

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:02.680
 are limited.

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:04.160
 See the Bible

00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:04.500
 tells us

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:04.880
 that God

00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:05.540
 is omniscient

00:19:05.540 --> 00:19:06.040
 that God

00:19:06.040 --> 00:19:06.960
 knows everything.

00:19:07.780 --> 00:19:08.160
 There isn't

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:08.620
 a detail

00:19:08.620 --> 00:19:09.240
 past

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.040
 present

00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:10.920
 or future

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:11.800
 that isn't

00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:12.580
 known

00:19:12.580 --> 00:19:13.680
 by God

00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:14.380
 which means

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:14.980
 it's not just

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:15.420
 that God

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:16.220
 doesn't think

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:16.560
 the way

00:19:16.560 --> 00:19:17.020
 that we do

00:19:17.020 --> 00:19:17.420
 but God

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:18.240
 can't think

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:18.960
 the way

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:19.480
 that we do.

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:19.900
 You see

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:20.500
 you and I

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:21.160
 what we do

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:22.620
 is we operate

00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:24.700
 in a millifraction

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:25.580
 of knowledge

00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:27.180
 and that's

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:27.800
 a gross

00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:28.980
 estimation

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.800
 of the knowledge

00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:30.200
 that you

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:30.460
 and I

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:30.800
 have.

00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:33.160
 We have a millifraction

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:33.840
 of the knowledge

00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:34.540
 of the past

00:19:34.540 --> 00:19:35.480
 we have a millifraction

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:36.200
 of the knowledge

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.140
 of the present

00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:38.180
 but the reality

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.800
 is we know

00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:39.700
 none of the future

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:41.600
 but that's not

00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:42.540
 how God works

00:19:42.540 --> 00:19:43.060
 and that's not

00:19:43.060 --> 00:19:43.560
 how God

00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:44.800
 operates

00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:45.480
 and that's not

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:46.480
 who God

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:47.000
 is.

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.000
 God's not

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.560
 operating

00:19:49.560 --> 00:19:50.300
 in the what-ifs

00:19:50.300 --> 00:19:51.620
 that God's

00:19:51.620 --> 00:19:52.020
 knowledge

00:19:52.020 --> 00:19:52.660
 is full

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.240
 God knows

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:54.880
 all past

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.320
 God knows

00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:55.940
 all future

00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:56.580
 God knows

00:19:56.580 --> 00:19:57.220
 all present

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:57.880
 and so all

00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:58.300
 that God

00:19:58.300 --> 00:19:58.620
 knows

00:19:58.620 --> 00:19:59.440
 and operates

00:19:59.440 --> 00:19:59.800
 is based

00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:00.180
 off of the

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:00.420
 fullness

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:00.900
 of that

00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:06.380
 and the

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:07.140
 Lord gave

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:09.080
 Jehoiakim

00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:09.800
 king of Judah

00:20:09.800 --> 00:20:11.480
 into his

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:11.800
 hand

00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:13.300
 and then

00:20:13.300 --> 00:20:14.000
 when we add

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.840
 into that

00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:16.700
 the fact

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:17.140
 that God

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:17.740
 is also

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:18.480
 omnipotent

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.060
 that he

00:20:20.060 --> 00:20:20.740
 is the

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.300
 ultimate

00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:21.880
 power

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:22.280
 that what

00:20:22.280 --> 00:20:22.680
 we see

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:22.940
 in the

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:23.260
 context

00:20:23.260 --> 00:20:23.720
 of this

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:24.020
 verse

00:20:24.020 --> 00:20:24.600
 the Lord

00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:24.860
 gave

00:20:24.860 --> 00:20:25.300
 Jehoiakim

00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:25.640
 king of

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.260
 Judah

00:20:26.260 --> 00:20:27.180
 into his

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:27.440
 hand

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.060
 through the

00:20:28.060 --> 00:20:28.480
 holy

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.620
 all-knowing

00:20:29.620 --> 00:20:30.940
 all-powerful

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.760
 hand

00:20:31.760 --> 00:20:32.600
 of God

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:33.320
 this is

00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:33.900
 what happens

00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:35.520
 and then

00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:36.140
 here's a

00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:36.600
 little bit

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.760
 of the

00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:38.160
 comedic

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.700
 irony

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:40.000
 of what

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:40.320
 we see

00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:40.640
 happen

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:40.960
 and take

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.240
 place

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:41.620
 in this

00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:42.780
 that when

00:20:42.780 --> 00:20:43.580
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:20:43.580 --> 00:20:44.700
 back to this

00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:45.040
 passage

00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:46.020
 in chapter

00:20:46.020 --> 00:20:46.260
 two

00:20:46.260 --> 00:20:46.660
 in verse

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:46.900
 two

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:47.840
 that when

00:20:47.840 --> 00:20:48.460
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:49.000
 besieged

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.680
 Jerusalem

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.720
 it says

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:50.940
 that he

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.220
 took

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:51.900
 vessels

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:53.320
 from the

00:20:53.320 --> 00:20:53.840
 house of

00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:54.280
 God

00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:56.720
 and placed

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:57.320
 them

00:20:57.320 --> 00:20:58.700
 in the

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.440
 treasury

00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.440
 of his

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:01.820
 God

00:21:01.820 --> 00:21:03.520
 now

00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:04.700
 why

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:06.600
 would

00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:08.000
 a pagan

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.000
 king

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.800
 go into

00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:11.260
 the house

00:21:11.260 --> 00:21:12.180
 of God

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:13.760
 take

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:14.100
 a

00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:15.200
 sacred

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.180
 item

00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:16.940
 or sacred

00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:18.180
 items

00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:18.940
 out

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:19.380
 and then

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:20.040
 place

00:21:20.040 --> 00:21:21.100
 those items

00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:22.060
 into his

00:21:22.060 --> 00:21:22.500
 place

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:24.640
 of worship

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.180
 is he trying

00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:26.600
 to add

00:21:26.600 --> 00:21:26.800
 to the

00:21:26.800 --> 00:21:27.180
 collection

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:27.640
 is he trying

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:28.340
 to add

00:21:28.340 --> 00:21:28.820
 to the

00:21:28.820 --> 00:21:29.100
 gods

00:21:29.100 --> 00:21:29.320
 that he

00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:29.660
 serves

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:29.860
 like

00:21:29.860 --> 00:21:30.620
 what is

00:21:30.620 --> 00:21:31.040
 happening

00:21:31.040 --> 00:21:31.360
 here

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:31.880
 of what

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:32.060
 he's

00:21:32.060 --> 00:21:32.420
 trying

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:33.000
 to do

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.560
 in his

00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:35.200
 lostness

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:35.520
 and his

00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:35.820
 arrogance

00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.140
 here's

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.440
 exactly

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:36.720
 what he's

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:36.840
 doing

00:21:36.840 --> 00:21:37.040
 it was

00:21:37.040 --> 00:21:37.180
 the

00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:37.680
 practice

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.600
 of a

00:21:38.600 --> 00:21:38.820
 lot

00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:38.960
 of

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.420
 ancient

00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:40.320
 kings

00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:40.600
 and

00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:40.900
 rulers

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.160
 but

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:41.820
 specifically

00:21:41.820 --> 00:21:42.080
 with

00:21:42.080 --> 00:21:42.180
 the

00:21:42.180 --> 00:21:42.900
 Babylonians

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:43.860
 that

00:21:43.860 --> 00:21:44.020
 when

00:21:44.020 --> 00:21:44.220
 they

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:44.760
 conquered

00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:45.080
 and

00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:45.960

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.440
 Abednego

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.080
 so the

00:25:09.080 --> 00:25:09.900
 Babylonians

00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:10.940
 it's another

00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:11.400
 practice

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:11.820
 not only

00:25:11.820 --> 00:25:12.120
 would they

00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:12.900
 take

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:13.840
 artifacts

00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:15.380
 but they

00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:16.060
 would take

00:25:16.060 --> 00:25:16.840
 people

00:25:16.840 --> 00:25:18.360
 they would

00:25:18.360 --> 00:25:18.940
 take people

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:20.360

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:20.780
 take

00:25:20.780 --> 00:25:21.400
 specific

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:22.240
 people

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.900
 scripture

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:24.480
 tells us

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:24.800
 that they

00:25:24.800 --> 00:25:25.200
 took some

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.840

00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:26.660
 the royal

00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:27.280
 family

00:25:27.280 --> 00:25:28.380
 and nobility

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:29.700
 so the

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.240
 people that

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.500
 they are

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:30.920
 taking

00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:32.400

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:33.340

00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:24.220

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.680
 what

00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:24.900
 we

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.240
 know

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:26.840
 is that

00:26:26.840 --> 00:26:28.140
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:28.560
 what he

00:26:28.560 --> 00:26:29.120
 is working

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:29.440
 in

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:30.140
 is if

00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:30.700
 I can

00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:31.860
 separate

00:26:31.860 --> 00:26:33.500
 these

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:33.960
 people

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:35.540
 from

00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:45.360
 then

00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:45.560
 I

00:26:45.560 --> 00:26:45.760
 will

00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:46.020
 have

00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:49.280
 but

 built

00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:50.200
 into

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.740
 them

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:51.200

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.460
 we

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:51.800
 are

00:26:51.800 --> 00:26:57.140
 so

00:26:57.140 --> 00:26:57.440
 feel

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:58.000
 very

00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:58.440
 similar

00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.220
 to how

00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:00.460
 the

00:27:00.460 --> 00:27:00.840
 enemy

00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:02.380
 attacks

00:27:02.380 --> 00:27:02.860
 us

00:27:02.860 --> 00:27:03.720
 as

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.040
 well

00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:06.280
 Satan

00:27:06.280 --> 00:27:07.700
 desires

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:08.620
 to

00:27:08.620 --> 00:27:09.260
 attack

00:27:09.260 --> 00:27:09.560
 you

00:27:09.560 --> 00:27:09.780
 to

00:27:09.780 --> 00:27:10.640
 destroy

00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:11.040
 you

00:27:11.040 --> 00:27:11.380
 to

00:27:11.380 --> 00:27:11.860
 change

00:27:11.860 --> 00:27:12.120
 you

00:27:12.120 --> 00:27:12.300
 so

00:27:12.300 --> 00:27:12.460
 that

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:12.580
 you

00:27:12.580 --> 00:27:12.840
 no

00:27:12.840 --> 00:27:13.300
 longer

00:27:13.300 --> 00:27:14.120
 resemble

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:14.780
 who

00:27:14.780 --> 00:27:15.140
 you

00:27:15.140 --> 00:27:15.560
 are

00:27:15.560 --> 00:27:15.820
 but

00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:16.020
 you

00:27:16.020 --> 00:27:16.580
 resemble

00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:17.180
 not

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:17.480
 even

00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:17.760
 him

00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:17.940
 but

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:19.760
 our

00:27:19.760 --> 00:27:20.160
 perception

00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:20.540
 of the

00:27:20.540 --> 00:27:20.780
 world

00:27:20.780 --> 00:27:22.680
 and it's

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:22.960
 what we

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:23.400
 see

00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:23.860
 in the

00:27:23.860 --> 00:27:24.940
 strategy

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:26.100
 of

00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:26.880
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:28.220
 so

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.920
 Satan

00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:29.320
 and

00:27:29.320 --> 00:27:30.180
 Nebuchadnezzar's

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:30.780
 goal

00:27:30.780 --> 00:27:31.860
 is to

00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:32.280
 change

00:27:32.280 --> 00:27:32.720
 who they

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.120
 were

00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:33.320
 to

00:27:33.320 --> 00:27:33.960
 change

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.240
 who we

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.440
 are

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:34.640
 and he

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:34.820
 does

00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:35.060
 so

00:27:35.060 --> 00:27:35.320
 in

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:35.680
 four

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.080
 ways

00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:36.660
 four

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:36.960
 ways

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.100
 that

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:37.260
 we

00:27:37.260 --> 00:27:37.560
 see

00:27:37.560 --> 00:27:37.760
 that

00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:38.140
 took

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:38.580
 place

00:27:38.580 --> 00:27:38.840
 and

00:27:38.840 --> 00:27:39.280
 that

00:27:39.280 --> 00:27:39.700
 happened

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:40.360
 all

00:27:40.360 --> 00:27:40.720
 the way

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:40.980
 back

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:41.120
 to

00:27:41.120 --> 00:27:41.240
 the

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.440
 time

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:41.600
 of

00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:41.900
 Daniel

00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:42.100
 and

00:27:42.100 --> 00:27:42.220
 that

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:42.540
 happened

00:27:42.540 --> 00:27:42.680
 and

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:42.820
 take

00:27:42.820 --> 00:27:43.160
 place

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:43.640
 all

00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:43.900
 the way

00:27:43.900 --> 00:27:44.060
 in the

00:27:44.060 --> 00:27:44.260
 time

00:27:44.260 --> 00:27:44.400
 of

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:44.680
 today

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:46.100
 the

00:27:46.100 --> 00:27:46.560
 first

00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:46.720
 is

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:46.940
 through

00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:47.640
 isolation

00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:49.160
 through

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:49.800
 isolation

00:27:49.800 --> 00:27:52.240
 it

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:52.540
 would

00:27:52.540 --> 00:27:53.020
 probably

00:27:53.020 --> 00:27:53.280
 would

00:27:53.280 --> 00:27:53.400
 have

00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:53.540
 been

00:27:53.540 --> 00:27:54.220
 easier

00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:55.720
 to

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.300
 set

00:27:56.300 --> 00:27:56.560
 up

00:27:56.560 --> 00:27:56.860
 a

00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:57.420
 place

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:57.980
 there

00:27:57.980 --> 00:27:58.880
 to

00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.400
 expand

00:27:59.400 --> 00:27:59.640
 the

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.080
 kingdom

00:28:00.080 --> 00:28:00.980
 and

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.140
 to

00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:01.440
 build

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:01.920
 future

00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:02.480
 rulers

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.360
 there

00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:04.200
 but

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.320
 that's

00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:04.440
 not

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:04.540
 what

00:28:04.540 --> 00:28:04.620
 he

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:04.980
 does

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:06.060
 what

00:28:06.060 --> 00:28:06.300
 he

00:28:06.300 --> 00:28:07.140
 takes

00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:07.500
 them

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:07.980
 he

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.600
 removes

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:08.900
 them

00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:09.260
 from

00:28:09.260 --> 00:28:09.620
 his

00:28:09.620 --> 00:28:10.400
 people

00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:10.920
 and

00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:11.200
 he

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:12.140
 brings

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:12.620
 them

00:28:12.620 --> 00:28:13.400
 back

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:13.620
 to

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:13.900
 him

00:28:13.900 --> 00:28:15.220
 he

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.500
 wants

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:15.740
 to

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.400
 isolate

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:16.940
 them

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:19.180
 from

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:19.380
 one

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.900
 of

 we

00:28:29.040 --> 00:28:29.520
 see

00:29:16.760 --> 00:29:16.900
 him

00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:17.240
 out

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:18.720
 and

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:18.940
 drew

00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:19.100
 him

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:19.320
 in

00:29:19.320 --> 00:29:20.520
 the

00:29:20.520 --> 00:29:20.780
 next

00:29:20.780 --> 00:29:20.980
 thing

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:21.140
 that

00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:21.260
 we

00:29:21.260 --> 00:29:21.560
 see

00:29:21.560 --> 00:29:21.980
 here

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:23.380
 is

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:24.540
 indoctrination

00:29:24.540 --> 00:29:26.540
 indoctrination

00:29:26.540 --> 00:29:28.140
 very

00:29:28.140 --> 00:29:28.500
 subtle

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:29.900
 he

00:29:29.900 --> 00:29:30.160
 wanted

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.340
 them

00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:30.500
 to

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:31.160
 learn

00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:32.440
 their

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:33.200
 language

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.940
 and

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:34.340
 their

00:29:34.340 --> 00:29:35.100
 literature

00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:36.560
 their

00:29:36.560 --> 00:29:36.980
 language

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.360
 and

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.620
 their

00:29:37.620 --> 00:29:38.100
 literature

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:39.140
 right

00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:39.300
 so

00:29:39.300 --> 00:29:39.720
 he's

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:39.880
 going

00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:40.060
 to

00:29:40.060 --> 00:29:40.480
 teach

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:40.920
 them

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:42.340
 the

00:29:42.340 --> 00:29:43.200
 Babylonian

00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:43.700
 way

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:45.080
 he's

00:29:45.080 --> 00:29:45.220
 going

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:45.400
 to

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:45.780
 teach

00:29:45.780 --> 00:29:46.180
 them

00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:46.660
 the

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:47.000
 pagan

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.700
 way

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.020
 and

00:29:48.020 --> 00:29:48.740
 wired

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:49.200
 into

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.560
 this

00:29:49.560 --> 00:29:49.800
 would

00:29:49.800 --> 00:29:50.220
 have

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.780
 included

00:29:50.780 --> 00:29:51.400
 their

00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:51.960
 religion

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:53.360
 for

00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:53.940
 most

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.280
 part

00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:54.460
 of

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:54.620
 the

00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:55.000
 existence

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.340
 of

00:29:55.340 --> 00:29:55.580
 the

00:29:55.580 --> 00:29:55.920
 world

00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:56.200
 this

00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:56.360
 is

00:29:56.360 --> 00:29:56.540
 the

00:29:56.540 --> 00:29:57.340
 education

00:29:57.340 --> 00:29:58.040
 process

00:29:58.040 --> 00:29:58.620
 that

00:29:58.620 --> 00:29:58.880
 we've

00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.160
 seen

00:29:59.160 --> 00:29:59.600
 play

00:29:59.600 --> 00:30:00.000
 out

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:00.500
 amongst

00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:00.700
 the

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:01.320
 world's

00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:01.700
 religions

00:30:01.700 --> 00:30:02.260
 we want

00:30:02.260 --> 00:30:02.360
 to

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:02.660
 teach

00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:02.860
 you

00:30:02.860 --> 00:30:03.100
 you

00:30:03.100 --> 00:30:03.240
 want

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:03.400
 to

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.700
 speak

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.060
 we're

00:30:04.060 --> 00:30:04.160
 going

00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:04.260
 to

00:30:04.260 --> 00:30:04.460
 do

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:04.780
 so

00:30:04.780 --> 00:30:05.180
 through

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:05.560
 our

00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:06.120
 religion

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:06.520
 and this

00:30:06.520 --> 00:30:06.780
 is what

00:30:06.780 --> 00:30:07.140
 happens

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.480
 and takes

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:07.780
 place

00:30:07.780 --> 00:30:08.320
 he wants

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:08.500
 to

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:09.320
 indoctrinate

00:30:09.320 --> 00:30:09.540
 them

00:30:09.540 --> 00:30:10.340
 he wants

00:30:10.340 --> 00:30:10.940
 the things

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.360
 that are being

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:12.000
 said

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.560
 and the

00:30:12.560 --> 00:30:13.160
 thinking

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.800
 of what

00:30:13.800 --> 00:30:14.100
 is

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.940
 around

00:30:14.940 --> 00:30:15.320
 them

00:30:15.320 --> 00:30:16.000
 to become

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.760
 more and

00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:16.980
 more

00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:17.680
 comfortable

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:18.560
 with who

00:30:18.560 --> 00:30:19.180
 they are

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:23.180
 instead of

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:23.580
 being

00:30:23.580 --> 00:30:25.680
 the

00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:26.260
 missionaries

00:30:26.260 --> 00:30:26.580
 in the

00:30:26.580 --> 00:30:26.940
 culture

00:30:26.940 --> 00:30:29.460
 he wants

00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:29.760
 them

00:30:29.760 --> 00:30:30.520
 to be

00:30:30.520 --> 00:30:31.480
 indoctrinated

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:32.840
 into

00:30:32.840 --> 00:30:33.120
 the

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:33.480
 culture

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:34.780
 the

00:30:34.780 --> 00:30:35.200
 third

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.400
 thing

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:35.660
 that he

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:35.980
 does

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:37.620
 is

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:38.500
 assimilation

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:40.800
 assimilation

00:30:40.800 --> 00:30:42.280
 verse

00:30:42.280 --> 00:30:42.620
 five

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:43.080
 look back

00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:43.300
 at that

00:30:43.300 --> 00:30:43.660
 with me

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.800
 it

00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:45.440
 sounds

00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:46.840
 kind

00:30:46.840 --> 00:30:47.100
 of like

00:30:47.100 --> 00:30:47.240
 he's

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:47.500
 being a

00:30:47.500 --> 00:30:47.620
 good

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.060
 host

00:30:48.060 --> 00:30:50.600
 and the

00:30:50.600 --> 00:30:50.780
 king

00:30:50.780 --> 00:30:51.220
 assigned

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:51.420
 them

00:30:51.420 --> 00:30:51.760
 a daily

00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:52.220
 portion

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:52.700
 of the

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:53.100
 food

00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:54.220
 that

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.580
 the

00:30:54.580 --> 00:30:55.000
 king

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.380
 ate

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:57.100
 and the

00:30:57.100 --> 00:30:57.720
 wine

00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:58.900
 that

00:30:58.900 --> 00:30:59.120
 he

00:30:59.120 --> 00:30:59.620
 drank

00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:01.000
 okay

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.380
 all right

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:02.580
 well

00:31:02.580 --> 00:31:03.700

 doing

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:05.020
 is he

00:31:05.020 --> 00:31:05.400
 is he

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.780
 being the

00:31:05.780 --> 00:31:05.940
 good

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.160
 host

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:06.400
 is he

00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:06.560
 saying

00:31:06.560 --> 00:31:06.780
 what's

00:31:06.780 --> 00:31:06.900
 good

00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:07.060
 enough

00:31:07.060 --> 00:31:07.360
 for me

00:31:07.360 --> 00:31:07.620
 is good

00:31:07.620 --> 00:31:07.780
 enough

00:31:07.780 --> 00:31:08.260
 for my

00:31:08.260 --> 00:31:08.560
 guests

00:31:08.560 --> 00:31:08.840
 and this

00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:09.280
 is what

00:31:09.280 --> 00:31:09.460
 I want

00:31:09.460 --> 00:31:09.600
 you to

00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:09.680
 do

00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:10.660
 I want

00:31:10.660 --> 00:31:10.860
 you to

00:31:10.860 --> 00:31:11.080
 eat

00:31:11.080 --> 00:31:11.680
 and drink

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.360
 like a

00:31:12.360 --> 00:31:13.040
 Babylonian

00:31:13.040 --> 00:31:14.240
 you see

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:14.960
 God

00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:15.580
 had given

00:31:15.580 --> 00:31:16.200
 his people

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.680
 dietary

00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:17.240
 laws

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:20.520
 and God

00:31:20.520 --> 00:31:21.180
 said this is the

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:21.600
 way that you

00:31:21.600 --> 00:31:22.100
 will eat

00:31:22.100 --> 00:31:23.440
 this is the

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:23.900
 way that you

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:24.420
 will drink

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:25.840
 this is what

00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:26.340
 is good

00:31:26.340 --> 00:31:26.920
 and right

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:27.620
 and holy

00:31:27.620 --> 00:31:28.880
 and acceptable

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.080
 to me

00:31:30.080 --> 00:31:32.180
 and that

00:31:32.180 --> 00:31:32.500
 would not

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:32.920
 have been

00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.320
 the way

00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:34.540
 of the

00:31:34.540 --> 00:31:35.280
 Babylonians

00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:36.780
 so let's

00:31:36.780 --> 00:31:37.620
 change

00:31:37.620 --> 00:31:39.400
 where you're

00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:39.880
 at

00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.320
 let's

00:31:42.320 --> 00:31:42.940
 change

00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:43.640
 the way

00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:44.160
 that you

00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:44.940
 think

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:46.740
 let's

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.460
 change

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:47.760
 the

00:31:47.760 --> 00:31:48.240
 moral

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.320
 compass

00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:50.840
 that is

00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:51.520
 in you

00:31:51.520 --> 00:31:53.080
 so that

00:31:53.080 --> 00:31:53.800
 what they

00:31:53.800 --> 00:31:54.440
 would begin

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:55.300
 to see

00:31:55.300 --> 00:31:56.360
 is

00:31:56.360 --> 00:31:57.980
 conversion

00:31:57.980 --> 00:32:00.640
 from these

00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:01.560
 boys

00:32:01.560 --> 00:32:03.300
 to change

00:32:03.300 --> 00:32:03.900
 at the

00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:04.380
 core

00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:05.860
 who

00:32:05.860 --> 00:32:07.260
 they

00:32:07.260 --> 00:32:08.680
 are

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.060
 one of the

00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:11.480
 things I think

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:12.160
 is pretty neat

00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.660
 about our

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.440
 youth group

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:14.800
 and I

00:32:14.800 --> 00:32:16.280
 saw this

00:32:16.280 --> 00:32:16.860
 happen but I

00:32:16.860 --> 00:32:17.480
 never kind of put

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:18.000
 the two and two

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:18.500
 together

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:19.680
 until like this

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:20.260
 summer when it

00:32:20.260 --> 00:32:20.620
 was kind of

00:32:20.620 --> 00:32:21.400
 fully explained

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:21.820
 to me

00:32:21.820 --> 00:32:23.000
 so it gets

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:24.000
 complicated

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.840
 in there

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.480
 when you've

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:28.280
 got like 60

00:32:28.280 --> 00:32:28.780
 kids

00:32:28.780 --> 00:32:30.600
 and two of

00:32:30.600 --> 00:32:30.880
 them have

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.260
 the same

00:32:31.260 --> 00:32:31.600
 name

00:32:31.600 --> 00:32:34.160
 right

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.580
 you're like

00:32:35.580 --> 00:32:36.400
 Emma

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.460
 which one

00:32:37.460 --> 00:32:37.820
 you know

00:32:37.820 --> 00:32:38.580
 like it just

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:39.220
 begins to

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.540
 happen

00:32:39.540 --> 00:32:40.620
 so what

00:32:40.620 --> 00:32:41.660
 happens is

00:32:41.660 --> 00:32:43.080
 in a fun

00:32:43.080 --> 00:32:43.400
 way that

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:43.760
 the kids

00:32:43.760 --> 00:32:44.240
 love is

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.620
 that like

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:45.200
 the first

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:45.520
 one kind

00:32:45.520 --> 00:32:45.860
 of keeps

00:32:45.860 --> 00:32:46.420
 their name

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:47.180
 and then

00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:47.640
 the second

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:48.020
 one gets

00:32:48.020 --> 00:32:48.400
 a nickname

00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:48.960
 right

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:49.760
 and then

00:32:49.760 --> 00:32:50.240
 you kind

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.540
 of move

00:32:50.540 --> 00:32:50.920
 forward

00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:51.300
 and it's

00:32:51.300 --> 00:32:51.720
 been funny

00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:52.020
 for me

00:32:52.020 --> 00:32:52.360
 it's like

00:32:52.360 --> 00:32:52.560
 okay

00:32:52.560 --> 00:32:53.360
 I know

00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:53.880
 what they

00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:54.640
 call this

00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:55.140
 person

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.820
 but you're

00:32:55.820 --> 00:32:56.180
 gonna have

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:56.480
 to help

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:56.960
 me remember

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:57.380
 their name

00:32:57.380 --> 00:32:57.600
 because I

00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:57.880
 gotta talk

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:58.060
 to their

00:32:58.060 --> 00:32:58.300
 mom and

00:32:58.300 --> 00:32:58.660
 dad about

00:32:58.660 --> 00:32:59.000
 something

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.560
 and I

00:32:59.560 --> 00:32:59.820
 can't

00:32:59.820 --> 00:33:00.300
 walk up

00:33:00.300 --> 00:33:00.800
 and say

00:33:00.800 --> 00:33:02.160
 whatever

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:02.880
 the nickname

00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:03.160
 is

00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:03.400
 right

00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:04.300
 but they

00:33:04.300 --> 00:33:04.440
 change

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:04.720
 and there's

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:05.100
 almost like

00:33:05.100 --> 00:33:05.580
 a badge

00:33:05.580 --> 00:33:06.720
 of pride

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.360
 within that

00:33:07.360 --> 00:33:07.980
 of this

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.220
 is who

00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:08.560
 I am

00:33:08.560 --> 00:33:09.520
 I'm here

00:33:09.520 --> 00:33:10.120
 and now

00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:10.440
 this is

00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:10.880
 what I've

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:11.580
 become

00:33:11.580 --> 00:33:12.600
 but in

00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:12.980
 here in

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.820
 this name

00:33:13.820 --> 00:33:15.440
 it's not

00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.360
 just changing

00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:17.400
 the way

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:17.980
 that people

00:33:17.980 --> 00:33:18.600
 will see

00:33:18.600 --> 00:33:19.000
 them

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:19.620
 but they're

00:33:19.620 --> 00:33:20.220
 trying to

00:33:20.220 --> 00:33:20.760
 change

00:33:20.760 --> 00:33:21.380
 at their

00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:22.540
 very identity

00:33:22.540 --> 00:33:23.320
 of who

00:33:23.320 --> 00:33:23.860
 they are

00:33:23.860 --> 00:33:25.120
 of how

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:25.560
 they see

00:33:25.560 --> 00:33:26.220
 themselves

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:27.720
 and in

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.360
 that culture

00:33:28.360 --> 00:33:28.880
 more so

00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:29.620
 than our

00:33:29.620 --> 00:33:30.000
 culture

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.740
 especially

00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:31.840
 names

00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:32.800
 meant

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:38.200

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.520
 the very

00:33:38.520 --> 00:33:38.960
 last thing

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:16.260
 we don't

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:16.620
 know

00:35:16.620 --> 00:35:18.140
 our language

00:35:18.140 --> 00:35:19.620
 our translators

00:35:19.620 --> 00:35:20.180
 have a hard

00:35:20.180 --> 00:35:21.060
 time explaining

00:35:21.060 --> 00:35:21.520
 fully

00:35:21.520 --> 00:35:22.360
 what these

00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:23.160
 Babylonian

00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:23.820
 names mean

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:24.360
 there's different

00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:25.380

00:35:31.220 --> 00:35:32.460
 names

00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:33.760
 give honor

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.620
 to the

00:35:34.620 --> 00:35:35.460
 pagan gods

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:35.720
 of the

00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:36.400
 Babylonians

00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.520
 they say

00:35:38.520 --> 00:35:38.940
 we want to

00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:49.760
 very

00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:50.740
 fiber

00:35:50.740 --> 00:35:51.580
 of your

00:35:56.080 --> 00:35:56.780
 you do

00:35:56.780 --> 00:35:57.040
 not

00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:00.020
 judge

00:36:00.020 --> 00:36:00.760

00:36:03.220 --> 00:36:03.640
 praise

00:36:03.640 --> 00:36:03.940
 of the

 pagan

00:36:04.200 --> 00:36:04.540
 worship

00:36:04.540 --> 00:36:04.920
 of this

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:05.180
 world

00:36:05.180 --> 00:36:08.980
 the plan

00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:09.260
 of the

00:36:09.260 --> 00:36:10.180
 Babylonians

00:36:10.180 --> 00:36:12.260
 is the

00:36:12.260 --> 00:36:12.820
 plan

00:36:12.820 --> 00:36:14.180
 of Satan

00:36:14.180 --> 00:36:15.160
 today

00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:17.840
 if I

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.260
 can get

00:36:23.220 --> 00:36:23.880
 to

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:24.420
 do

00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:25.960
 is

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:26.500
 compromise

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:28.800
 is

 need you

00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:32.360
 to do

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.200
 is

00:36:33.200 --> 00:36:33.780
 waiver

00:36:33.780 --> 00:36:35.220
 and I'll

00:36:35.220 --> 00:36:35.780
 begin

00:36:35.780 --> 00:36:36.040
 to

00:36:36.040 --> 00:36:36.740
 discredit

00:36:36.740 --> 00:36:37.800
 so the

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.200
 attack

00:36:38.200 --> 00:36:38.560
 can I

00:36:38.560 --> 00:36:39.020
 isolate

00:36:39.020 --> 00:36:39.280
 you

00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:39.600
 from the

00:36:39.600 --> 00:36:39.900
 people

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.380
 of God

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:40.580
 the

00:36:40.580 --> 00:36:41.380
 indoctrination

00:36:41.380 --> 00:36:41.960
 can I

00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.260
 bring

00:36:42.260 --> 00:36:42.660
 into you

00:36:42.660 --> 00:36:43.020
 not the

00:36:43.020 --> 00:36:43.300
 wisdom

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:43.700
 of the

00:36:43.700 --> 00:36:44.380
 word

00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:44.860
 but the

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.460
 false

00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:45.960
 intellect

00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:46.480
 of the

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:46.860
 world

00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:47.500
 can I

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:48.360
 assimilate

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.660
 you

00:36:48.660 --> 00:36:49.120
 from the

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:50.360
 disciplines

00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:50.780
 that God

00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:51.300
 has called

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:51.680
 you to

00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:56.220
 here is

00:36:56.220 --> 00:36:56.920
 the question

00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:57.420
 that I

 Daniel

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:01.680
 resolved

00:43:15.900 --> 00:43:16.020
 are

00:43:16.020 --> 00:43:16.400
 not

00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:16.800
 on

00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:17.300
 a

00:43:17.300 --> 00:43:17.860
 planet

00:43:17.860 --> 00:43:18.220
 that

00:43:18.220 --> 00:43:18.560
 is

00:43:18.560 --> 00:43:19.800
 spiraling

00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:20.120
 and

00:43:20.120 --> 00:43:20.680
 turning

00:43:20.680 --> 00:43:21.100
 out

 of

00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:21.780
 control

00:43:21.780 --> 00:43:24.820
 but

00:43:24.820 --> 00:43:25.040
 we're

00:43:25.040 --> 00:43:25.160
 in

00:43:25.160 --> 00:43:25.280
 a

00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:25.780
 place

00:43:25.780 --> 00:43:25.920
 in

00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:26.060
 a

00:43:26.060 --> 00:43:26.640
 purpose

00:43:26.640 --> 00:43:27.540
 living

00:43:27.540 --> 00:43:27.760
 a

00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:28.060
 life

00:43:28.060 --> 00:43:28.200
 that

00:43:28.200 --> 00:43:28.360
 is

00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:28.840
 held

 very

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:32.540
 securely

00:43:32.540 --> 00:43:32.800
 and

00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:33.020
 very

00:43:33.020 --> 00:43:33.620
 wonderfully

00:43:33.620 --> 00:43:34.780
 in

00:43:34.780 --> 00:43:34.900
 the

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:35.060
 hand

00:43:35.060 --> 00:43:35.180
 of

 I

00:43:39.060 --> 00:43:39.380
 pray

00:43:39.380 --> 00:43:39.640
 that

00:43:39.640 --> 00:43:39.760
 as

 Holy

00:43:44.900 --> 00:43:45.440
 Spirit

00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:47.760

00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:48.220
 convict

 our

 people

00:43:56.020 --> 00:43:56.220
 of

00:43:56.220 --> 00:43:56.920
 compromise

00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:59.000
 instead
