00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:29.380
 Well, good morning.

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:35.580
 If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us in Daniel chapter 11.

00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:38.720
 If you're a first-time guest, we're excited that you're here.

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:39.660
 We love that you're here.

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:40.800
 We're honored that you're here.

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:43.580
 At the end of the service, I'll be back here at our connections table.

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.100
 We'd love to be able to speak with you.

00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:48.720
 We'd love to be able to shake your hand, answer any questions that you may have about our church,

00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:50.040
 so please stop by there.

00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:54.080
 We'd love nothing more than to be able to speak with you.

00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:57.020
 A lot of things going on around the life of our church.

00:00:57.300 --> 00:00:59.520
 Our men's ministry gathered a couple weeks ago.

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:02.260
 Our women's ministry gathered this past Friday night.

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.560
 Wonderful events, great times of fellowship, and there's even more that's coming up.

00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:09.620
 So I want to make sure that you get involved and get connected.

00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:12.600
 And then please, if you can, just fill out one of these cards.

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:16.900
 It's a great way for us, if we need to be able to get in touch with you, to be able to

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:21.360
 connect with you, to be able to pray for you, to be able to answer questions that you may

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:22.500
 have to fill this out.

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:24.560
 Then as you leave, this is for everybody.

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:27.940
 Drop it off in the basket underneath that exit sign.

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.400
 I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving.

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.480
 I was telling a couple this morning that I got to experience first Thanksgiving yesterday.

00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:39.160
 I get to experience second Thanksgiving today.

00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:43.960
 And then I will get to experience third Thanksgiving on Thursday, which means that next Saturday,

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:46.620
 there's probably a fourth Thanksgiving that's going to happen.

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.580
 So if I show up next week in my sweatpants, just give me some grace.

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:50.960
 All right.

00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:52.460
 But good time.

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:57.420
 I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and your friends of who God's

00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.000
 got in your life.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:00.640
 And so this is all I'm going to say about what this week is.

00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:00.940
 Okay.

00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:01.960
 All right.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.660
 If you're, if you're, if you're from the state of South Carolina, this week probably means

00:02:07.660 --> 00:02:08.780
 a little something to you.

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:16.960
 See, see, Michelle, Michelle goes against everything that I was going to say.

00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:18.060
 All right.

00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:24.220
 So I've heard it classified that this week is, is hate week between South Carolina and Clemson.

00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:32.220
 That, that in an ungodly manner, ungodly, you and I are to hate one another.

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.480
 If you're a Tiger fan or if you're a Gamecock fan, right?

00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:38.000
 We're to hate one another.

00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:44.400
 And I think that this week of all weeks, we don't need to experience hate.

00:02:44.940 --> 00:02:48.220
 We need to experience unity, unity.

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.260
 Because we're both at the bottom, right?

00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:56.160
 And in bottom, we're both, the boat is going down.

00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:02.620
 And we'll tread water and you'll tread water and Jesus loves you.

00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:04.600
 Let's get the band to come back up on stage.

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:06.340
 No, have fun this week.

00:03:06.700 --> 00:03:07.640
 Have fun this week.

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:12.940
 Carolina fans, love your Clemson friends and Clemson family.

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.420
 Clemson people love us, all right?

00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:18.480
 We're hurting.

00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:19.280
 We're hurting.

00:03:19.820 --> 00:03:20.740
 It's tough.

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:21.880
 It's tough.

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:24.780
 But it's been years of struggle, you know?

00:03:25.540 --> 00:03:34.960
 And if you're here today, I just want to say, if you're here today and you do not care anything about that game, let me just say, good for you.

00:03:35.260 --> 00:03:36.160
 Good for you.

00:03:36.700 --> 00:03:41.240
 And that is where I long to be, all right?

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.660
 I want to do something a little different this morning.

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.200
 I was riding into the office.

00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:52.780
 Normally, this is the part during the message where I read a passage of Scripture and then we pray as we prepare to go into the sermon.

00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:59.940
 But I was listening to one of my favorite worship leaders, this guy by the name of Shane Bernard.

00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:05.840
 And he does a thing where he sings a lot of the psalms.

00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:08.080
 He puts them to music and he sings them.

00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:15.100
 And as I was coming down two-notch, a song came on my playlist and it was Psalm 143.

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:24.420
 And I tell you guys, like, I'm not a great singer if my bad singing, if bad singing distracts you from worship, don't sit around me.

00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:29.160
 But typically, like, when I'm in my car, like, I'm loud.

00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:31.800
 I'm loud with the singing if I'm by myself.

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:46.740
 And this morning, it was just as I listened to the words, it was just a moment for me not even to sing, but to just listen to the heart of David, found in Psalm 143.

00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:51.900
 And to allow the truth of that to be spoken over me.

00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:57.640
 So here's what I would like to do as we go into our time in God's Word.

00:04:57.700 --> 00:04:59.860
 I'd like for you to bow your heads and close your eyes.

00:05:01.580 --> 00:05:08.240
 And I would like to read over you the prayer of David, found in Psalm 143.

00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:14.620
 Hear my prayer, O Lord.

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.400
 Give ear to my pleas for mercy.

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:26.060
 In your faithfulness, answer me.

00:05:26.760 --> 00:05:31.500
 In your righteousness, enter not.

00:05:31.580 --> 00:05:33.420
 Into judgment with your servant.

00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:37.520
 For no one living is righteous before you.

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.100
 For the enemy has pursued my soul.

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.920
 He has crushed my life to the ground.

00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:52.720
 He has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.580
 Therefore, my spirit faints within me.

00:05:57.580 --> 00:06:00.980
 My heart within me is appalled.

00:06:01.940 --> 00:06:05.040
 I remember the days of old.

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.520
 I meditate on all that you have done.

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:11.980
 I ponder the work of your hands.

00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:15.520
 I stretch out my hands to you.

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.400
 My soul thirsts for you like a parched land.

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.520
 Answer me quickly, O Lord.

00:06:25.260 --> 00:06:27.460
 My spirit fails.

00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:30.820
 Hide not your face from me.

00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:34.620
 Lest I be like those who go down to the pit.

00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:39.560
 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love.

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:42.600
 For in you I trust.

00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:46.960
 Make me know the way I should go.

00:06:47.820 --> 00:06:50.040
 For to you I lift up my soul.

00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:54.580
 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord.

00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:58.680
 I have fled to you for refuge.

00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:02.360
 Teach me to do your will.

00:07:03.820 --> 00:07:05.380
 For you are my God.

00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:10.140
 Let your good spirit lead me on level ground.

00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:18.760
 For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life.

00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:25.400
 In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

00:07:26.700 --> 00:07:31.800
 And in your steadfast love, you will cut off my enemies.

00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:36.500
 And you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul.

00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:41.540
 For I am your servant.

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:47.360
 God, we speak your word to you in prayer.

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:50.180
 Revive us, O God.

00:07:51.260 --> 00:07:52.800
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:54.140
 Amen.

00:07:54.840 --> 00:07:55.120
 Amen.

00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:59.620
 Fifteen weeks ago, we started in our journey in Daniel.

00:07:59.880 --> 00:08:02.080
 And this week is our next to last.

00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:03.860
 Next week we will conclude.

00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:06.760
 And then we will go into our Christmas series.

00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:10.860
 And if you've been with us and you've been journeying with us each and every week,

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:17.880
 you know that we saw in the first six chapters of Daniel is the historical account of the man Daniel

00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:22.460
 and what God was doing in Daniel's life and those around him.

00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:28.300
 And then as we enter into chapter seven, what we begin to see is the prophetic piece of Daniel,

00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:34.900
 which is very interesting because what we find in the first six chapters of Daniel

00:08:34.900 --> 00:08:38.960
 are Daniel's ability to interpret dreams.

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:46.440
 But then as we move forward, we see Daniel as the prophet that God has equipped him and called him to be.

00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:49.320
 And over the last several weeks, just being frank with you,

00:08:49.420 --> 00:08:52.960
 if I felt like anytime you study God's word, right, yes and amen,

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.640
 it is a wonderful exercise that God takes us through,

00:08:56.740 --> 00:09:01.680
 a wonderful exercise of growing us and strengthening us and studying his word.

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.040
 And even though that now at this point in time, it's hard to believe,

00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:07.540
 but I've been preaching God's word now for 23 years.

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:11.100
 Every time I open his word, it is a wonderful exercise.

00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:16.800
 And God grows me in only the way that God can in spite of me and in spite of myself or who I am.

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:22.820
 But I'm going to be honest with you guys, these last several chapters feels like God's taken me out on an ultra marathon.

00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:32.860
 And the deepness and complexity of the beauty of his word has been absolutely difficult and wonderful

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:35.260
 at the same time to get in and study.

00:09:36.900 --> 00:09:43.620
 As we get into Daniel 11 this morning, I don't want to try to hide this from you.

00:09:44.140 --> 00:09:49.340
 Daniel 11 is an extremely complicated passage of scripture.

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:54.540
 In fact, one of the authors that I read this week said, and I quote,

00:09:55.160 --> 00:09:58.420
 Daniel 11 is unpreachable.

00:09:59.760 --> 00:10:03.140
 So here's been my prayer for you guys all week,

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.120
 that you do not agree with him at the end of this message.

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.920
 Daniel 10 through 12 is a unit.

00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:16.000
 And this is what it gives us.

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:21.120
 It gives us that there's roughly 400 years of history

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.620
 between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament,

00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:28.240
 which is known as the silent years.

00:10:29.380 --> 00:10:39.580
 Daniel 10 through 12 and a lot of the prophecy that is there gives us certain events that will take place during that time.

00:10:40.400 --> 00:10:47.240
 And what is remarkable is that this passage actually contains the most fulfilled prophecies,

00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:51.600
 historically speaking, that have already happened in the course of our world.

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.760
 So that what we can do, and it's what we are going to do to some degree,

00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:04.120
 is look at what God reveals to Daniel, the prophetic word that he gives him,

00:11:04.300 --> 00:11:08.480
 and that you and I can look back into the pages of history and see,

00:11:08.660 --> 00:11:10.520
 oh yeah, this absolutely did take place.

00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:12.900
 This isn't speculation.

00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:14.720
 This isn't the what ifs.

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.080
 That what God said would happen is what happened,

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.980
 and Daniel was faithful to record it.

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.240
 And so this is what we'll look at and see for most of chapter 11,

00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:31.940
 and then at the very end, there'll be some five application points or questions

00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:34.460
 to kind of drive home for us.

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:40.340
 So last week when we found Daniel in chapter 10,

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.560
 he's frustrated and he's defeated.

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:46.740
 He's had enough.

00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.180
 He's sick and tired.

00:11:48.180 --> 00:11:57.440
 He's at a spot of his relationship with God is as strong as Daniel's relationship with God,

00:11:57.540 --> 00:12:03.160
 but yet Daniel is at a point of frustration with his people, with God's people.

00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:07.240
 You see, because Daniel was reading in the book of Jeremiah,

00:12:07.780 --> 00:12:12.480
 and he saw where God's people who were in Babylonian captivity

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.520
 would be kept for their land for 70 years,

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:18.060
 but that 70 years has come to an end.

00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:21.380
 In fact, we see that in the first year of Darius,

00:12:21.660 --> 00:12:26.480
 that the announcement has made that the Jewish people can return to their land.

00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:29.680
 And if you're thinking, well, both, that should make Daniel excited.

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:36.220
 But the problem with that making Daniel excited is only about 4% returned.

00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:42.740
 The rest had settled into their new pagan life, their new pagan lifestyle.

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:50.180
 And Daniel, who's roughly about 85, 86, 87 years old, during this time,

00:12:50.420 --> 00:12:53.900
 it is broken for the people's disobedience.

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.340
 And he's been pleading with God to forgive them and to restore them.

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:02.740
 And God is extending his grace upon grace upon grace.

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:06.700
 And the people are ignoring and ignoring and ignoring.

00:13:07.580 --> 00:13:12.660
 And this has been the battle that we see all the way back to in Deuteronomy,

00:13:13.380 --> 00:13:16.820
 where God tells his people, right, you are my people.

00:13:17.020 --> 00:13:19.840
 But if there's this disobedience that's there,

00:13:20.280 --> 00:13:22.360
 if there's this disobedience for me,

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:26.000
 then I'm going to work and I'm going to allow and I'm going to cause

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.840
 and I'm going to create these difficulties for you

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.960
 so that you'll return to me, that you'll repent to me.

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.880
 But as hard-headed as they are, they're not getting it.

00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:41.960
 And so what God is going to give for Daniel in this is a prophetic vision

00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:47.560
 about how God is going to keep his people under conflict,

00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.800
 that God's going to keep his people scattered

00:13:51.800 --> 00:13:59.360
 with a hope of bringing them back to repentance.

00:14:00.920 --> 00:14:02.520
 Bringing them back to repentance.

00:14:03.400 --> 00:14:09.160
 Folks, one of the largest misunderstandings that you and I have about repentance

00:14:09.160 --> 00:14:11.540
 is that repentance is the punishment.

00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:13.900
 Folks, repentance isn't the punishment.

00:14:14.780 --> 00:14:15.840
 Repentance is the healing.

00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:20.980
 As we take all that is broken, all that is messed up,

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.100
 and we bring it before a holy God

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:26.060
 who our sin is repulsive to him.

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:27.420
 Every bit of it.

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.160
 He is perfect and holy and good and righteous

00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:32.180
 and we are none of those things.

00:14:33.260 --> 00:14:35.580
 But in repentance, we can come to him.

00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:40.300
 And in forgiveness, we experience his grace and his mercy.

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.120
 But they won't listen.

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.560
 So God gives Daniel this vision.

00:14:45.780 --> 00:14:52.400
 So if you would join me, we're going to read the first four verses of Daniel chapter 11.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.520
 It says,

00:14:55.520 --> 00:14:59.320
 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede,

00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:02.520
 I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.140
 And now I will show you the truth.

00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:09.640
 Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia,

00:15:10.260 --> 00:15:13.780
 and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them.

00:15:14.640 --> 00:15:17.480
 And when he has become strong through his riches,

00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:20.780
 he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:24.160
 Then a mighty king shall arise,

00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:28.560
 who shall rule with great dominion and do as he wills.

00:15:29.300 --> 00:15:31.760
 And as soon as he has arisen,

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:37.120
 his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven,

00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:44.260
 but not to his posterity nor according to the authority with which he ruled,

00:15:44.260 --> 00:15:50.580
 for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.

00:15:51.260 --> 00:15:52.520
 So if you'll pause with me,

00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:57.100
 let me explain to you of what we're seeing in the prophecy that is given to Daniel.

00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:00.960
 What's given to Daniel is the prophecy of two kingdoms.

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:03.280
 These kingdoms have been referred to previously.

00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:08.520
 Off the top of my head, I believe this is what was mentioned there in Daniel chapter 7.

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:21.280
 And what we see is following Darius, historically speaking and prophetically speaking as well,

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.840
 that there'll be three more kings and that a fourth will arise.

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:25.680
 And guess what?

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.160
 History confirms that.

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.980
 That when we look at the pages of history in the Medo-Persian empire,

00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:35.640
 we see that following Darius, there was the first that ruled from 530 to 522 BC.

00:16:35.640 --> 00:16:39.660
 We see that the second ruled in 522 BC and that year alone.

00:16:39.940 --> 00:16:44.500
 And then the third ruled from 522 to 486 BC.

00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:46.180
 And then the fourth comes.

00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:53.580
 The fourth of the greatest of all the Medo-Persian kings that will come to rule.

00:16:54.060 --> 00:16:55.560
 And his name is Xerxes.

00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:59.020
 And he becomes more powerful.

00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:06.280
 And his powerful status creates within him goals that previous kings had set their eyes on

00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:07.400
 but would never accomplish.

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:12.480
 But he decides within himself that he is going to go after Greece.

00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:15.860
 That he is going to go after Greece.

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:24.180
 And then in 480 BC, he will attempt to invade Greece, but he's defeated.

00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:31.020
 And in that, his empire will come to an end.

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.700
 And what we find between verses 2 and 3 is a gap.

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.060
 That God's word doesn't give us everything,

00:17:40.780 --> 00:17:44.260
 but that what God's word does give us speaks to what is true.

00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:45.220
 There's a gap.

00:17:45.300 --> 00:17:50.500
 There's about a 150-year gap between verse 2 and verse 3.

00:17:50.500 --> 00:18:00.780
 And verse 3 describes the mighty king of Greece that we would come to know as Alexander the Great.

00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:05.660
 He would conquer, if you know your history, you know that Alexander the Great,

00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:10.740
 through his military might and his cunning ways, would conquer the known world.

00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:17.100
 He would conquer from Greece to India, from north to south into Egypt.

00:18:17.780 --> 00:18:19.400
 And this is exactly what takes place.

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.520
 But at 39 years old, he dies.

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:30.920
 And what happens during this, due to death and murders and the things that happen and take place,

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.160
 whenever there's a void of power within these kingdoms,

00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:40.680
 that there would be no one from his lineage to take the throne.

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:46.620
 And so as God's word says that his kingdom would be divided by the winds of heaven,

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.920
 north, south, east, and west.

00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.540
 And we see that from history confirms that.

00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:54.460
 In the west, we have the Greek.

00:18:55.600 --> 00:18:57.600
 In the east, we have Asia Minor.

00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:00.020
 In the north, we have Syria.

00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:03.100
 And in the south, we'll have Egypt.

00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:08.440
 And then what God is going to do and work is that God is going to use this kingdom

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.680
 as God divided the kingdom.

00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:17.820
 And he's going to use the kingdom over the next 15 verses to work in the life of Israel.

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:22.640
 To work in the nation of Israel amongst God's people

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.240
 as God works and moves in the way that only God can.

00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:31.780
 So over these next 15 verses, let me give you kind of a sneak peek into some of this.

00:19:31.780 --> 00:19:35.780
 That when it talks about the kingdom of the north, that's Syria.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.860
 And when it talks about the kingdom of the south, that is Egypt.

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.520
 And we will see how they begin to play out.

00:19:44.320 --> 00:19:47.940
 So read with me verses 5 through verses 20.

00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:52.780
 Then the king of the south shall be strong.

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:58.760
 But one of his princes shall be stronger than he and shall rule.

00:19:59.900 --> 00:20:02.520
 And his authority shall be great authority.

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.780
 After some years, they shall make an alliance.

00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:13.100
 And the daughter of the king of the south should come to the king of the north to make an agreement.

00:20:14.100 --> 00:20:17.960
 But she shall not retain the strength of her arm.

00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:21.100
 And he and his arm shall not endure.

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:23.720
 But she shall be given up.

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:31.560
 And her attendants, he who fathered her and he who supported her in those times.

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.200
 And from a branch from her roots, one shall arise in his place.

00:20:38.060 --> 00:20:41.480
 He shall come against the army and enter the forces of the king of the north.

00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:44.340
 And he shall deal with them and shall prevail.

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:52.720
 He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods and their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold.

00:20:53.540 --> 00:20:57.360
 For some years, he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north.

00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:03.880
 Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return to his own land.

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:14.940
 His son shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces which shall keep coming and overflow and pass through and shall carry the water as far as his fortress.

00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:21.360
 Then the king of the south, moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north.

00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:25.940
 And he shall raise a great multitude but it shall be given into his hand.

00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:30.600
 And when the multitude is taken away, his heart shall be exalted.

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:37.100
 And he shall cast down tens of thousands but he shall not prevail.

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.660
 For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude greater than the first.

00:21:43.300 --> 00:21:48.580
 And after some years, he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.820
 In those times, many shall rise against the king of the south.

00:21:53.340 --> 00:21:59.440
 And the violent among your people, your own people, shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision.

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.780
 But they shall fail.

00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:08.520
 Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siege works and take a well-fortified city.

00:22:08.520 --> 00:22:13.380
 And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his best troops.

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.300
 For there shall be no strength to stand.

00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:20.840
 But he who comes against him shall do as he wills.

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:22.900
 And none shall stand before him.

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:29.160
 And he shall stand in the glorious land with destruction in his hand.

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:36.440
 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom.

00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:40.440
 And they shall bring terms of an agreement and perform them.

00:22:41.300 --> 00:22:49.220
 He shall give him the daughter of women to destroy the kingdom, but it shall not stand or be to his advantage.

00:22:50.300 --> 00:22:56.200
 Afterwards, he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many of them.

00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.000
 But a commander shall put an end to his insolence.

00:23:00.300 --> 00:23:04.120
 Instead, he shall turn his insolence back upon him.

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:09.560
 Then he shall turn his face back toward the fortress of his own land.

00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:13.560
 But he shall stumble and fall and shall not be found.

00:23:14.560 --> 00:23:21.160
 Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom.

00:23:21.800 --> 00:23:30.080
 But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle.

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:36.960
 So during this period of time that's discussed, Rome is the global power.

00:23:37.800 --> 00:23:39.820
 The Roman Empire is on the scene.

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:43.880
 They are the empire of great influence in the world.

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:50.900
 But this passage will largely focus in on the conflict dealing between Egypt and Syria.

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:55.420
 God gives us this due to their relationship with Israel.

00:23:55.420 --> 00:24:06.160
 Now, I listened to a guy this past week who walks through verses 5 through 20 and explains every little battle and detail that's there.

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:09.560
 And it took him three hours in order to get through all of that.

00:24:09.800 --> 00:24:17.100
 And so prayerfully, I made the decision this week for you and I to not walk through three hours of this together.

00:24:17.300 --> 00:24:20.360
 For time's sake, we can't explain every detail.

00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:25.000
 But I want to give you a glimpse of what is happening because it's extremely important.

00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:26.780
 Wars are happening.

00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:29.300
 Wars are happening.

00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:32.420
 People are trying to amass more.

00:24:32.860 --> 00:24:33.960
 Greed is dominating.

00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:35.380
 I need more land.

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:36.340
 I need more power.

00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:37.340
 I need more people.

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:39.580
 I need more money.

00:24:40.260 --> 00:24:43.560
 Here's something that is very interesting when we see this in the course of history.

00:24:43.840 --> 00:24:45.320
 Look back at verse 6.

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:52.840
 After some years, this is one generation removed from Alexander the Great.

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:54.380
 They've been divided.

00:24:55.340 --> 00:25:06.340
 After some years they shall make an alliance and the daughter of the king of the south from Egypt shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement.

00:25:06.340 --> 00:25:17.500
 But she shall not retain the strength of her arm and he and his arm shall not endure but she shall be given up in her attendance.

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:22.680
 He who fathered her and he supported her in those times.

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:26.600
 Here is what we see that happens in the course of history.

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:33.900
 The leader of the section of the world that is Egypt, this king, this prince during this,

00:25:34.140 --> 00:25:40.260
 decides in order to make a peace treaty, in order to gain power, to gain influence,

00:25:40.260 --> 00:25:46.380
 that he is going to send his daughter to the north to marry the king.

00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:56.940
 But unfortunately, he was already married.

00:25:56.940 --> 00:26:01.040
 And in the conflict of what would happen, where it says right in through here, right,

00:26:01.280 --> 00:26:06.820
 to make an agreement that she shall not retain the strength of her arm, of her marriage,

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.620
 she won't be given that.

00:26:09.840 --> 00:26:15.360
 That instead, he and his arm, his wife.

00:26:16.300 --> 00:26:17.540
 So his wife comes and says,

00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:19.320
 Nuh-uh, not my man, right?

00:26:19.580 --> 00:26:20.520
 Ends up killing her.

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:22.080
 And this is what we see.

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:24.040
 Here's the pattern that we see.

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.460
 Egypt attacks Syria.

00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:29.240
 Syria attacks Egypt.

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.580
 Rinse and repeat.

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:32.000
 Rinse and repeat.

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.240
 Rinse and repeat.

00:26:33.580 --> 00:26:39.440
 And for the first half of the time period, what we'll largely see is Egypt will win most of the battles.

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:45.420
 But then on verse 12, there's a shift in their global power for a time where they're battling,

00:26:45.580 --> 00:26:46.900
 and Syria will win the battles.

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:55.120
 And during this time, Israelites will partner with the Syrians to battle the Egyptians.

00:26:55.340 --> 00:26:59.540
 Well, in 198 B.C., 198 B.C., promise not much more history after this.

00:26:59.860 --> 00:27:04.000
 In 198 B.C., the Egyptians suffered a massive loss to the Syrians.

00:27:05.580 --> 00:27:10.060
 And as a result, Palestine would come under control of the Syrian empire.

00:27:11.060 --> 00:27:19.000
 And during that time, there would be a Syrian king who would rule named Antichus Epiphanes.

00:27:20.520 --> 00:27:24.500
 Antichus Epiphanes, who had an evil reign of terror.

00:27:24.760 --> 00:27:36.600
 In fact, in the prophecy of Daniel 11, there's a pre-prophecy in verses 18 and 19, if you'll look at those with me, concerning his defeat.

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.000
 That we'll read about later on.

00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:43.000
 Afterwards, he shall turn his face to the coastlands.

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:43.740
 This will be important.

00:27:43.840 --> 00:27:44.360
 I promise we'll read.

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:45.880
 We'll see this in the next part.

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:50.140
 After this, he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture them.

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:55.600
 But a commander, that's important, a commander shall put an end to his insolence.

00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:59.580
 Indeed, he shall turn his insolence back upon him.

00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:04.940
 And then he shall turn his face back toward the fortress of his own land.

00:28:05.020 --> 00:28:05.480
 He'll flee.

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.460
 He'll flee.

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:13.160
 But he shall stumble and fall and shall not be found.

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:23.580
 And so it speaks to this once powerful, that Rome will send a general as he looks to attack the coastland of the Mediterranean.

00:28:24.620 --> 00:28:26.480
 And in that, he is defeated.

00:28:27.100 --> 00:28:28.920
 And in that, he is sent back.

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:37.080
 And it's where we begin to see, over and over again, the imagery of God's word playing true in history.

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:38.940
 And folks, this is important.

00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:47.660
 And then what we'll find in verses, as we go through 11, 21 through 35,

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:57.420
 we'll give a description of the depravity of this epiphanies, of Antioch's epiphanies.

00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:03.220
 And we'll see his depravity, but here we see his defeat.

00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:05.840
 So we're going to read the rest of Daniel 11 here in just a moment.

00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:08.120
 And it's broken up again in two sections.

00:29:09.040 --> 00:29:11.520
 And I apologize for the seminary history lesson.

00:29:12.600 --> 00:29:16.780
 But section 1, Daniel 11, 21 through 25, will deal with epiphanies.

00:29:16.860 --> 00:29:18.580
 And I'm going to say this, and catch this with me, okay?

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:24.100
 And he is to serve as a type, a type of Antichrist.

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:36.000
 We'll see a depth of depravity that is within him that will play out into the imagery of the coming Antichrist.

00:29:36.760 --> 00:29:45.260
 And then in verses 36 through 45, we will get a description of the eschatological Antichrist

00:29:45.260 --> 00:29:50.520
 referred to in Daniel 7, Daniel 9, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation 13.

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:56.660
 So let's read verses 21 through 25, and we'll begin to understand who this monster is.

00:29:56.660 --> 00:30:07.100
 In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given.

00:30:08.340 --> 00:30:12.660
 He shall come in without warnings and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:20.200
 Armies shall be utterly swept away before him and broken, even the prince of the covenant.

00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:27.160
 And from the time that an alliance is made with him, he shall act deceitfully,

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:31.520
 and he shall become strong with the small people.

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:36.960
 Without warning, he shall come into the richest parts of the providence.

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:43.960
 And he shall do whatever his, he shall do neither his fathers nor his father's fathers have done,

00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:47.900
 scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods.

00:30:48.520 --> 00:30:52.840
 He shall divide plans against strongholds, but only for a time.

00:30:53.540 --> 00:30:58.920
 And he shall stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great army.

00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:03.460
 And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army,

00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:07.000
 but he shall not stand, for plots have been devised against him.

00:31:07.340 --> 00:31:09.800
 Even those who eat his food shall break him.

00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:14.480
 His army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain.

00:31:14.760 --> 00:31:18.620
 And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil.

00:31:19.080 --> 00:31:22.160
 They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail.

00:31:22.620 --> 00:31:25.480
 For the end is yet to be at the time appointed.

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:32.300
 And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant.

00:31:32.860 --> 00:31:36.740
 And he shall work his will and return to his own land.

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:41.980
 At the time appointed, he shall return and come into the south.

00:31:42.060 --> 00:31:45.440
 But it shall not be at this time as it was before.

00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:50.960
 For the ships of Ketem shall come against him.

00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:59.440
 And he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant.

00:32:00.100 --> 00:32:04.280
 He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant.

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:09.400
 Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress,

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:12.320
 and shall take away the regular burnt offering,

00:32:13.020 --> 00:32:16.660
 and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:21.580
 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant,

00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:26.020
 but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.

00:32:26.740 --> 00:32:30.540
 The wise among the people shall make many understand,

00:32:30.540 --> 00:32:36.360
 though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame by captivity and plunder.

00:32:36.780 --> 00:32:39.980
 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help,

00:32:40.600 --> 00:32:43.720
 and they shall join themselves to them with flattery.

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:45.880
 And some of the wise should stumble,

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:53.300
 so that they may be refined, purified, and made white until the time of the end,

00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:57.400
 for it still awaits the appointed time.

00:32:59.060 --> 00:33:00.560
 Antichius Epiphanes is a monster.

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:03.340
 He's an absolute monster.

00:33:04.760 --> 00:33:08.360
 He comes to power, not through election,

00:33:09.260 --> 00:33:10.980
 not through family lineage,

00:33:11.820 --> 00:33:14.960
 but as is spoken about in the prophetic word,

00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:17.900
 which is spoken about in the course of history,

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:22.660
 he comes to power through smooth talking.

00:33:22.780 --> 00:33:25.400
 He comes to power through lies and deceit.

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:30.080
 He comes to power by betraying himself to be something that he's not,

00:33:30.220 --> 00:33:32.640
 and even early on throughout his reign,

00:33:32.800 --> 00:33:36.060
 will gain land and treaty as a result of this.

00:33:37.320 --> 00:33:39.900
 In 169 B.C.,

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:43.260
 he returned back to Syria following a war,

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:47.280
 and he found that there had been a Jewish insurrection

00:33:47.280 --> 00:33:48.920
 that had been taking place.

00:33:49.800 --> 00:33:52.900
 He didn't capture those who were involved.

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:57.980
 He didn't capture the group that was trying to rebel against him.

00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.420
 Instead, he ended up killing 80,000,

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:08.040
 80,000 men, women, and children

00:34:08.040 --> 00:34:10.320
 to punish the nation

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.240
 for the insurrection that had taken place.

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:17.080
 And this would speak to

00:34:17.080 --> 00:34:22.480
 how he would handle any threat of defeat

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.120
 that he would face.

00:34:25.540 --> 00:34:28.280
 So in Daniel 1130

00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.220
 speaks of a specific time

00:34:31.220 --> 00:34:33.120
 where he was defeated.

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:36.500
 This is the part that connects us

00:34:36.500 --> 00:34:38.540
 back with what we had just read

00:34:38.540 --> 00:34:41.480
 at the end there in verse 18.

00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:43.000
 Here's what happened.

00:34:45.080 --> 00:34:46.540
 Antiochus decided once again

00:34:46.540 --> 00:34:48.140
 to attack Egypt

00:34:48.140 --> 00:34:52.040
 as he set his eyes

00:34:52.040 --> 00:34:53.900
 on the coastland

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:55.680
 of the Mediterranean.

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:58.160
 And here's what happened.

00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.540
 Once he decided to attack Egypt,

00:35:01.060 --> 00:35:01.560
 Rome,

00:35:02.100 --> 00:35:03.580
 the power of Rome,

00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:06.440
 decided to help the Egyptians.

00:35:06.740 --> 00:35:09.060
 Go back and read verse 30 again with me.

00:35:11.140 --> 00:35:14.860
 For the ships of Ketem

00:35:14.860 --> 00:35:17.060
 shall come against him

00:35:17.060 --> 00:35:19.380
 and he shall be afraid

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:19.980
 and withdraw

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:21.780
 and turn back

00:35:21.780 --> 00:35:23.480
 and be enraged

00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:24.980
 and take action

00:35:24.980 --> 00:35:25.980
 against the Holy Covenant.

00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:28.580
 Here's what history tells us.

00:35:29.260 --> 00:35:31.180
 That when Rome has the appeal

00:35:31.180 --> 00:35:32.060
 from Egypt

00:35:32.060 --> 00:35:33.760
 that this is what's going to happen,

00:35:34.460 --> 00:35:36.200
 Rome sends a general,

00:35:36.540 --> 00:35:37.960
 remember earlier in verse 18

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.840
 it says a commander,

00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:42.840
 that's known as the fleet

00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:44.500
 of Ketem

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:47.400
 and they go there

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:48.480
 and they defeat him

00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.680
 and they humiliate him

00:35:50.680 --> 00:35:53.340
 and he's forced to set his eyes

00:35:53.340 --> 00:35:54.520
 back on his homeland

00:35:54.520 --> 00:35:56.420
 and he's forced to return back.

00:35:56.740 --> 00:35:57.500
 Well, here's the thing.

00:35:57.680 --> 00:35:58.740
 He's not willing to say,

00:35:58.820 --> 00:35:59.220
 you know what?

00:35:59.260 --> 00:36:00.300
 I took my shot

00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:00.980
 and I missed.

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:02.460
 He's not willing to say,

00:36:02.540 --> 00:36:02.860
 you know what?

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:04.340
 They had more than I had

00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:05.600
 and I need to learn my lesson

00:36:05.600 --> 00:36:07.360
 and go back to where I came from.

00:36:07.520 --> 00:36:08.300
 These aren't things

00:36:08.300 --> 00:36:09.560
 that encapture his mind

00:36:09.560 --> 00:36:12.060
 and instead he decides,

00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:13.060
 even though there's not

00:36:13.060 --> 00:36:15.140
 a single person of Israel

00:36:15.140 --> 00:36:16.620
 who is fighting with him,

00:36:17.640 --> 00:36:19.360
 that he will take out his anger.

00:36:19.660 --> 00:36:20.920
 He will take out his defeat

00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.300
 and instead he will punish

00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:24.940
 the Jewish people.

00:36:26.100 --> 00:36:27.000
 So here's a glimpse

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:28.140
 into what this man does.

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.340
 He sent mercenaries

00:36:29.340 --> 00:36:30.200
 to Jerusalem

00:36:30.200 --> 00:36:32.720
 who come waving the banner

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:33.380
 of peace

00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:36.700
 only to attack on the Sabbath,

00:36:38.100 --> 00:36:39.200
 their day of rest,

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:41.000
 their day of worship,

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:43.340
 and killed many

00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:46.320
 and then looted the city,

00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:48.220
 looted the temple.

00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:53.100
 He then lied

00:36:53.100 --> 00:36:55.000
 to the Jewish people,

00:36:56.020 --> 00:36:57.480
 deceived the Jewish people,

00:36:58.360 --> 00:36:59.540
 and convinced many

00:36:59.540 --> 00:37:01.960
 to abandon their faith

00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:03.420
 and follow him.

00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.840
 He made all Jewish practices illegal.

00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:11.420
 He made offering sacrifices,

00:37:11.660 --> 00:37:12.220
 offerings,

00:37:12.720 --> 00:37:13.620
 worship in the temple,

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.180
 prayer,

00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:16.280
 reading of Scripture illegal.

00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:18.800
 and if you were caught

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:19.440
 doing that,

00:37:19.560 --> 00:37:20.300
 you were punished

00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:21.900
 by death.

00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:24.780
 Since they couldn't worship

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:26.360
 their God,

00:37:27.080 --> 00:37:28.540
 he placed himself

00:37:28.540 --> 00:37:30.320
 as God

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.700
 for them to worship him.

00:37:34.580 --> 00:37:35.800
 He went into the temple

00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.980
 and erected

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:38.620
 a statue

00:37:38.620 --> 00:37:39.940
 of Zeus

00:37:39.940 --> 00:37:42.800
 in ways

00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.360
 to destroy

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:47.220
 the holiness.

00:37:49.140 --> 00:37:50.540
 He sacrificed

00:37:50.540 --> 00:37:51.060
 the pig

00:37:51.060 --> 00:37:53.380
 on the altar,

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.440
 desecrating

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:56.020
 the altar,

00:37:57.300 --> 00:37:57.860
 and forced

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.560
 the priest

00:37:58.560 --> 00:38:00.620
 to eat

00:38:00.620 --> 00:38:02.400
 the unclean

00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:02.840
 meat.

00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:05.300
 In the course

00:38:05.300 --> 00:38:06.040
 of his tenure,

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:07.500
 he murdered

00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:09.180
 tens of thousands

00:38:09.180 --> 00:38:10.680
 of Jewish people.

00:38:12.080 --> 00:38:12.760
 Praise God,

00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:13.640
 there were those

00:38:13.640 --> 00:38:15.040
 who stood against him.

00:38:16.240 --> 00:38:18.160
 In 163 B.C.,

00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:18.720
 he dies.

00:38:20.200 --> 00:38:21.200
 And he serves

00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:22.620
 what God

00:38:22.620 --> 00:38:23.960
 is using him as,

00:38:24.660 --> 00:38:25.540
 is he serves

00:38:25.540 --> 00:38:26.300
 as a picture

00:38:26.300 --> 00:38:27.100
 of what to come.

00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:28.560
 We can look

00:38:28.560 --> 00:38:29.360
 through the course

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:30.220
 of history

00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:32.200
 and we can glance

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:33.040
 and we can see

00:38:33.040 --> 00:38:34.140
 while we have not seen

00:38:34.140 --> 00:38:35.760
 the Antichrist.

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:37.260
 We have seen

00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:38.020
 those like

00:38:38.020 --> 00:38:38.920
 an Antichrist.

00:38:39.620 --> 00:38:40.740
 We see the power

00:38:40.740 --> 00:38:41.740
 that they exude,

00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:42.760
 the characteristics

00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:43.760
 that they're

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.600
 desperate for

00:38:44.600 --> 00:38:45.220
 and that fill

00:38:45.220 --> 00:38:45.800
 within them.

00:38:46.540 --> 00:38:47.060
 We see this

00:38:47.060 --> 00:38:47.700
 with Epiphanes.

00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:48.660
 We see this

00:38:48.660 --> 00:38:49.640
 with Nero.

00:38:51.240 --> 00:38:52.060
 In a lot of ways,

00:38:52.140 --> 00:38:52.580
 we see this

00:38:52.580 --> 00:38:54.660
 with Adolf Hitler.

00:38:56.120 --> 00:38:57.540
 The depravity

00:38:57.540 --> 00:38:59.060
 of the heart

00:38:59.060 --> 00:38:59.060
 of the heart

00:38:59.060 --> 00:38:59.600
 of man.

00:39:02.600 --> 00:39:03.520
 And now,

00:39:04.020 --> 00:39:05.580
 as we close

00:39:05.580 --> 00:39:07.140
 verses 36-45,

00:39:08.080 --> 00:39:09.140
 we'll see

00:39:09.140 --> 00:39:09.720
 the prophecy

00:39:09.720 --> 00:39:10.380
 that comes

00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:12.540
 for the

00:39:12.540 --> 00:39:14.600
 Antichrist.

00:39:16.700 --> 00:39:17.660
 it says,

00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:18.360
 and the king

00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:20.400
 shall do

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:21.580
 as he wills.

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.520
 He shall

00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:24.680
 exalt himself

00:39:24.680 --> 00:39:26.900
 and magnify

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:27.620
 himself

00:39:27.620 --> 00:39:28.980
 above every

00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:29.440
 god

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:30.940
 and shall

00:39:30.940 --> 00:39:31.560
 speak

00:39:31.560 --> 00:39:32.120
 astonishing

00:39:32.120 --> 00:39:32.960
 things

00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:34.540
 against the

00:39:34.540 --> 00:39:35.160
 god of

00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:35.720
 gods.

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:37.360
 He shall

00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.380
 prosper

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:39.580
 until the

00:39:39.580 --> 00:39:40.380
 indignation

00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:41.760
 is accomplished.

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:43.540
 For what is

00:39:43.540 --> 00:39:44.140
 decreed

00:39:44.140 --> 00:39:44.520
 shall be

00:39:44.520 --> 00:39:44.880
 done.

00:39:46.040 --> 00:39:46.400
 He shall

00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:46.780
 pay no

00:39:46.780 --> 00:39:47.100
 attention

00:39:47.100 --> 00:39:47.480
 to the

00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:47.780
 god

00:39:47.780 --> 00:39:48.060
 of his

00:39:48.060 --> 00:39:48.480
 fathers

00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:48.760
 which is

00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:49.280
 the one

00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:50.260
 beloved

00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:50.800
 by women.

00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:52.180
 He shall

00:39:52.180 --> 00:39:52.500
 not pay

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:52.840
 attention

00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:53.280
 to any

00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:53.920
 other god

00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:54.620
 for he

00:39:54.620 --> 00:39:54.880
 shall

00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:55.540
 magnify

00:39:55.540 --> 00:39:56.000
 himself

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:56.620
 above all.

00:39:57.560 --> 00:39:57.880
 He shall

00:39:57.880 --> 00:39:58.340
 honor the

00:39:58.340 --> 00:39:58.760
 god

00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:58.980
 of

00:39:58.980 --> 00:40:00.100
 fortresses

00:40:00.100 --> 00:40:00.800
 instead

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:01.380
 of these.

00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:02.480
 Of

00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:02.800
 god

00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:03.240
 of whom

00:40:03.240 --> 00:40:03.480
 his

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:04.240
 fathers

00:40:04.240 --> 00:40:05.460
 did not

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:05.820
 know

00:40:05.820 --> 00:40:06.300
 he shall

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:06.680
 honor

00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:06.980
 with

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:07.700
 gold

00:40:07.700 --> 00:40:07.980
 and

00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:08.320
 silver

00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:08.580
 and

00:40:08.580 --> 00:40:08.840
 precious

00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:09.380

00:40:09.380 --> 00:40:09.980
 and

00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:10.320
 costly

00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:10.720
 gifts.

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:12.080
 He

00:40:12.080 --> 00:40:12.300
 shall

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:12.540
 deal

00:40:12.540 --> 00:40:12.740
 with

00:40:12.740 --> 00:40:12.860
 the

00:40:12.860 --> 00:40:13.200
 strongest

00:40:13.200 --> 00:40:13.940
 fortresses

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:14.120
 with

00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:14.380
 the

00:40:14.380 --> 00:40:14.820
 help

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:15.100

00:40:15.100 --> 00:40:15.380
 foreign

00:40:15.380 --> 00:40:15.860
 god.

00:40:16.860 --> 00:40:17.080
 Those

00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:17.260
 who

00:40:17.260 --> 00:40:17.780
 acknowledge

00:40:17.780 --> 00:40:18.120
 him

00:40:18.120 --> 00:40:18.480
 shall

00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:20.340
 honor.

00:40:21.120 --> 00:40:21.220
 He

00:40:21.220 --> 00:40:21.440
 shall

00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:21.660
 make

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:21.880
 them

00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.320
 rulers

00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:22.700
 over

00:40:22.700 --> 00:40:23.080
 many

00:40:23.080 --> 00:40:23.960
 and

00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:24.160
 shall

00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:24.580
 divide

00:40:24.580 --> 00:40:24.800
 the

00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:25.080
 land

00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:25.260
 for

00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:25.400
 a

00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:25.800
 price.

00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:27.460
 At

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:27.580
 the

00:40:27.580 --> 00:40:27.860
 time

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:28.200
 of the

00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:28.520
 end

00:40:28.520 --> 00:40:29.760
 the

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:30.020
 king

00:40:30.020 --> 00:40:30.320
 of the

00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:31.280
 attack

00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:31.560
 him.

00:40:32.660 --> 00:40:32.960
 But

00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:33.080
 the

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:34.680

00:40:34.680 --> 00:40:35.000
 him

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:35.740
 like

00:40:35.740 --> 00:40:35.900
 a

00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:36.500
 whirlwind

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:37.540
 with

00:40:46.220 --> 00:40:46.540
 pass

00:40:46.540 --> 00:40:46.900

00:40:48.180 --> 00:40:48.380
 He

00:40:48.380 --> 00:40:48.560
 shall

00:40:49.220 --> 00:40:49.640
 glorious

00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:50.160
 land.

00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:51.120
 Folks,

00:40:51.160 --> 00:40:51.400
 this is

00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:51.820
 Israel.

00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:54.220
 And

00:41:09.980 --> 00:41:10.260

00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:13.840
 He

00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:13.980
 shall

00:41:13.980 --> 00:41:14.300

00:41:18.640 --> 00:41:18.920
 precious

00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:19.440
 things

00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:19.640
 of

00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:20.080
 Egypt.

00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:21.460
 And

00:41:21.460 --> 00:41:21.600
 the

00:41:21.600 --> 00:41:22.040
 Libyans

00:41:22.260 --> 00:41:22.720
 Cushites

00:41:22.720 --> 00:41:23.000
 shall

00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:23.540
 follow

00:41:23.540 --> 00:41:24.300

00:41:24.300 --> 00:41:24.440
 his

00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:24.820
 train.

00:41:26.080 --> 00:41:26.320
 But

00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:26.820
 news

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:27.120

00:41:28.700 --> 00:41:29.160
 alarm

00:41:29.160 --> 00:41:29.480
 him.

00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:30.480
 He

00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:30.640
 shall

00:41:30.640 --> 00:41:31.000

00:41:34.180 --> 00:41:34.360

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:34.840
 destruction.

00:41:37.720 --> 00:41:38.400
 And

00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:38.560
 he

00:41:38.560 --> 00:41:38.860
 shall

00:41:38.860 --> 00:41:39.580
 pitch

 his

00:41:40.720 --> 00:41:41.280

00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:41.740
 tents

00:41:41.740 --> 00:41:43.080
 between

00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:43.320
 the

00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:43.680
 sea

00:41:43.680 --> 00:41:44.860
 and

00:41:44.860 --> 00:41:45.020

00:41:45.020 --> 00:41:45.420
 glorious

00:41:45.420 --> 00:41:45.780
 holy

00:41:45.780 --> 00:41:46.180
 mountain.

00:41:48.020 --> 00:41:48.700
 Yet

00:41:48.700 --> 00:41:48.840
 he

00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:49.020
 shall

00:41:49.020 --> 00:41:49.280
 come

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:49.460

00:41:49.460 --> 00:41:49.640
 his

00:41:49.640 --> 00:41:49.960

00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:51.240
 with

00:41:51.240 --> 00:41:51.680
 none

00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:52.420
 to

00:41:52.420 --> 00:41:52.640
 help

00:41:52.640 --> 00:41:52.820
 him.

00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:54.680
 We

00:41:54.680 --> 00:41:54.900
 get a

00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:55.300
 description

00:41:55.300 --> 00:41:55.820
 of the

00:41:55.820 --> 00:41:56.440
 Antichrist.

00:41:57.860 --> 00:41:58.260
 And

00:41:58.260 --> 00:41:58.520
 folks,

00:41:58.600 --> 00:41:58.700
 I'll

00:41:58.700 --> 00:41:58.820
 be

00:41:58.820 --> 00:41:59.080
 honest

00:41:59.080 --> 00:41:59.300
 with

00:41:59.300 --> 00:41:59.480
 you.

00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:02.120
 While

00:42:02.120 --> 00:42:03.160
 I'm

00:42:03.160 --> 00:42:03.320
 not

00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:03.560
 trying

00:42:03.560 --> 00:42:03.720
 to

00:42:03.720 --> 00:42:04.020
 stand

00:42:04.020 --> 00:42:04.300
 here

00:42:04.300 --> 00:42:04.420
 and

00:42:04.420 --> 00:42:04.560
 I'm

00:42:04.560 --> 00:42:04.720
 not

00:42:04.720 --> 00:42:04.940
 giving

00:42:04.940 --> 00:42:05.100
 a

00:42:05.100 --> 00:42:05.380
 prophetic

00:42:05.380 --> 00:42:05.760
 word,

00:42:05.860 --> 00:42:05.960
 it's

00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:06.100
 not

00:42:06.100 --> 00:42:06.200
 that

00:42:06.200 --> 00:42:06.340
 I'm

00:42:06.340 --> 00:42:06.460
 not

00:42:06.460 --> 00:42:06.740
 trying

00:42:06.740 --> 00:42:06.960
 to,

00:42:07.040 --> 00:42:07.640
 I'm

00:42:07.640 --> 00:42:07.840
 saying

00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:08.060
 I'm

00:42:08.060 --> 00:42:08.200
 not

00:42:08.200 --> 00:42:08.400
 doing

00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:08.720
 that,

00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:10.620
 but

00:42:10.620 --> 00:42:10.760
 when

00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:10.960
 we

00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:11.260
 look

00:42:11.260 --> 00:42:11.700
 into

00:42:11.700 --> 00:42:12.040
 the

00:42:12.040 --> 00:42:12.720
 ungodly

00:42:12.720 --> 00:42:12.900
 into

00:42:12.900 --> 00:42:13.060
 the

00:42:13.060 --> 00:42:13.420
 world,

00:42:14.220 --> 00:42:14.540
 when

00:42:14.540 --> 00:42:14.720
 we

00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:14.960
 look

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:15.180
 into

00:42:15.180 --> 00:42:15.400
 the

00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:16.120
 ungodly

00:42:16.120 --> 00:42:16.260
 of

00:42:16.260 --> 00:42:16.380
 the

00:42:16.380 --> 00:42:16.820
 leadership

00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:17.180
 of

00:42:17.180 --> 00:42:17.360
 the

00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:17.760
 world,

00:42:19.080 --> 00:42:19.380
 folks,

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:19.660
 these

00:42:19.660 --> 00:42:20.400
 descriptions

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:21.800
 don't

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:22.040
 just

00:42:22.040 --> 00:42:22.340
 limit

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:23.000
 themselves

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:23.980
 to

00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:24.380
 biblical

00:42:24.380 --> 00:42:24.940
 times.

00:42:26.140 --> 00:42:26.420
 We

00:42:26.420 --> 00:42:26.640
 see

00:42:26.640 --> 00:42:26.800
 that

00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:26.900
 he

00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:27.080
 is

00:42:27.080 --> 00:42:27.940
 self-willed

00:42:27.940 --> 00:42:28.840
 and

00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:29.100
 he

00:42:29.100 --> 00:42:29.480
 will

00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:29.940
 do

00:42:29.940 --> 00:42:30.640
 whatever

00:42:30.640 --> 00:42:30.920
 he

00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:31.320
 pleases.

00:42:32.740 --> 00:42:33.160
 There

00:42:33.160 --> 00:42:33.560
 is no

00:42:33.560 --> 00:42:34.140
 submission

00:42:34.140 --> 00:42:34.500
 to

00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:35.120
 others

00:42:35.120 --> 00:42:36.060
 much

00:42:36.060 --> 00:42:36.420
 less

00:42:36.420 --> 00:42:36.900
 submission

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:37.180
 to

00:42:37.180 --> 00:42:37.580
 God.

00:42:38.600 --> 00:42:38.980
 He

00:42:38.980 --> 00:42:39.660
 exalts

00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:40.180
 himself.

00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:41.640
 He

00:42:41.640 --> 00:42:41.940
 doesn't

00:42:41.940 --> 00:42:42.160
 just

00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:42.420
 see

00:42:42.420 --> 00:42:42.900
 himself

00:42:42.900 --> 00:42:43.220
 as

00:42:43.220 --> 00:42:43.940
 God-like,

00:42:44.220 --> 00:42:44.560
 he

00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:45.080
 sees

00:42:45.080 --> 00:42:45.600
 himself

00:42:45.600 --> 00:42:46.220
 as

00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:46.380
 a

00:42:46.380 --> 00:42:46.800
 God.

00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:48.280
 He

00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:48.500
 will

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:49.300
 blaspheme

00:42:49.300 --> 00:42:49.760
 and say

00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:50.400
 outrageous

00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:51.460
 things

00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:52.160
 about

00:42:52.160 --> 00:42:52.740
 God,

00:42:53.060 --> 00:42:53.440
 but

00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:53.720
 in

00:42:53.720 --> 00:42:53.940
 this

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:54.300
 all,

00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:56.080
 he

00:42:56.080 --> 00:42:56.220
 will

00:42:56.220 --> 00:42:56.380
 be

00:42:56.380 --> 00:42:57.120
 applauded,

00:42:57.940 --> 00:42:58.280
 he

00:42:58.280 --> 00:42:58.420
 will

00:42:58.420 --> 00:42:58.560
 be

00:42:58.560 --> 00:42:58.900
 looked

00:42:58.900 --> 00:42:59.200
 at

00:42:59.200 --> 00:42:59.400
 with

00:42:59.400 --> 00:42:59.860
 praise.

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:00.240
 Why?

00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:00.720
 Because

00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:00.860
 he

00:43:00.860 --> 00:43:01.000
 will

00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:01.180
 be

00:43:01.180 --> 00:43:01.880
 successful.

00:43:03.080 --> 00:43:03.380
 He

00:43:03.380 --> 00:43:03.600
 will

00:43:03.600 --> 00:43:03.940
 attack

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:04.320
 others

00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:04.560
 and

00:43:04.560 --> 00:43:05.060
 sweep

00:43:05.060 --> 00:43:05.520
 into

00:43:05.520 --> 00:43:05.700
 their

00:43:05.700 --> 00:43:06.120
 country.

00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:06.580
 He

00:43:06.580 --> 00:43:06.780
 will

00:43:06.780 --> 00:43:07.260
 invade

00:43:07.260 --> 00:43:07.840
 Israel

00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:08.100
 and

00:43:08.100 --> 00:43:08.340
 kill

00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:08.660
 many.

00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:09.060
 He

00:43:09.060 --> 00:43:09.220
 will

00:43:09.220 --> 00:43:09.400
 have

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:09.560
 a

00:43:09.560 --> 00:43:10.100
 global

00:43:10.100 --> 00:43:10.840
 rule

00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:11.160
 for

00:43:11.160 --> 00:43:11.360
 a

00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:11.720
 while,

00:43:12.100 --> 00:43:12.220
 but

00:43:12.220 --> 00:43:12.900
 praise

00:43:12.900 --> 00:43:13.660
 God,

00:43:13.940 --> 00:43:14.100
 he

00:43:14.100 --> 00:43:14.380
 will

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:14.700
 meet

00:43:14.700 --> 00:43:14.980
 his

00:43:14.980 --> 00:43:15.360
 end.

00:43:18.720 --> 00:43:19.380
 Very

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:19.640
 end of

00:43:19.640 --> 00:43:19.800
 verse

00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:20.460
 45.

00:43:22.980 --> 00:43:23.380
 Yet

00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:23.780
 he

00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:25.420
 shall

00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:26.000
 come

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:27.160
 to

00:43:27.160 --> 00:43:27.440
 his

00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:27.760
 end.

00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.500
 in

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:31.100
 preaching,

00:43:31.600 --> 00:43:33.220
 what you

00:43:33.220 --> 00:43:33.600
 have to

00:43:33.600 --> 00:43:34.340
 have is

00:43:34.340 --> 00:43:35.380
 explanation

00:43:35.380 --> 00:43:35.720
 and

00:43:35.720 --> 00:43:36.300
 application.

00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:38.320
 You see,

00:43:38.420 --> 00:43:38.700
 if it's

00:43:38.700 --> 00:43:38.980
 just

00:43:38.980 --> 00:43:39.760
 explanation,

00:43:40.020 --> 00:43:40.180
 it's

00:43:40.180 --> 00:43:40.520
 just a

00:43:40.520 --> 00:43:40.960
 teachable

00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:41.540
 lesson that

00:43:41.540 --> 00:43:41.920
 we gain

00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:42.320
 knowledge

00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:42.660
 and go

00:43:42.660 --> 00:43:42.920
 from.

00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:44.140
 But

00:43:44.140 --> 00:43:44.420
 God's

00:43:44.420 --> 00:43:44.740
 word

00:43:44.740 --> 00:43:45.620
 causes us

00:43:45.620 --> 00:43:46.100
 to take

00:43:46.100 --> 00:43:46.280
 his

00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:46.620
 word

00:43:46.620 --> 00:43:47.120
 and to

00:43:47.120 --> 00:43:47.440
 apply

00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:47.700
 his

00:43:47.700 --> 00:43:47.980
 word

00:43:47.980 --> 00:43:48.240
 and the

00:43:48.240 --> 00:43:48.580
 truth

00:43:48.580 --> 00:43:49.840
 of what

00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:50.020
 God

00:43:50.020 --> 00:43:50.320
 has

00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:50.800
 for us.

00:43:52.220 --> 00:43:52.660
 Multiple

00:43:52.660 --> 00:43:53.340
 times this

00:43:53.340 --> 00:43:53.620
 week,

00:43:53.740 --> 00:43:54.140
 I thought

00:43:54.140 --> 00:43:54.560
 this,

00:43:55.240 --> 00:43:55.720
 God,

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:56.620
 why

00:43:56.620 --> 00:43:56.960
 did

00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:57.100
 you

00:43:57.100 --> 00:43:57.340
 give

00:43:57.340 --> 00:43:57.680
 us

00:43:57.680 --> 00:43:57.940
 this

00:43:57.940 --> 00:43:58.360
 passage?

00:43:59.620 --> 00:44:00.000
 Why

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:00.280
 did

00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:00.420
 you

00:44:00.420 --> 00:44:00.640
 give

00:44:00.640 --> 00:44:00.900
 us

00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:01.300
 this,

00:44:01.900 --> 00:44:02.220
 that

00:44:02.220 --> 00:44:02.460
 we

00:44:02.460 --> 00:44:02.680
 would

00:44:02.680 --> 00:44:03.100
 have

00:44:03.100 --> 00:44:03.640
 this

00:44:03.640 --> 00:44:04.860
 today?

00:44:06.180 --> 00:44:06.460
 Well,

00:44:06.460 --> 00:44:06.640
 here's

00:44:06.640 --> 00:44:06.740
 some

00:44:06.740 --> 00:44:07.240
 application

00:44:07.240 --> 00:44:07.560
 that I

00:44:07.560 --> 00:44:07.760
 have

00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:08.020
 for you

00:44:08.020 --> 00:44:08.140
 in

00:44:08.140 --> 00:44:08.420
 closing.

00:44:10.300 --> 00:44:10.860
 What

00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:11.180
 does God

00:44:11.180 --> 00:44:11.420
 have

00:44:11.420 --> 00:44:11.900
 for us?

00:44:12.740 --> 00:44:12.940
 Number

00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:13.300
 one,

00:44:14.340 --> 00:44:14.580
 God

00:44:14.580 --> 00:44:14.920
 writes

00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:15.320
 history

00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:15.660
 before

00:44:15.660 --> 00:44:15.900
 it's

00:44:15.900 --> 00:44:16.200
 history.

00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:17.840
 God

00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:18.180
 writes

00:44:18.180 --> 00:44:18.580
 history

00:44:18.580 --> 00:44:18.920
 before

00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:19.200
 it's

00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:19.500
 history.

00:44:21.120 --> 00:44:21.680
 depending

00:44:21.680 --> 00:44:22.060
 on your

00:44:22.060 --> 00:44:22.580
 theological

00:44:22.580 --> 00:44:23.020
 view

00:44:23.020 --> 00:44:23.320
 when it

00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:23.560
 comes

00:44:23.560 --> 00:44:23.720
 to

00:44:23.720 --> 00:44:24.180
 history,

00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:25.040
 God

00:44:25.040 --> 00:44:25.400
 either

00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:25.940
 ordained

00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:26.120
 it

00:44:26.120 --> 00:44:26.320
 or

00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:26.700
 allowed

00:44:26.700 --> 00:44:26.940
 it.

00:44:27.700 --> 00:44:28.060
 But let

00:44:28.060 --> 00:44:28.320
 me say

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:28.860
 based off

00:44:28.860 --> 00:44:29.580
 of what

00:44:29.580 --> 00:44:29.960
 the Bible

00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:30.360
 teaches

00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:30.800
 us is

00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:31.200
 either way

00:44:31.200 --> 00:44:31.600
 you look

00:44:31.600 --> 00:44:31.860
 at it,

00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:32.120
 God's

00:44:32.120 --> 00:44:32.240
 in

00:44:32.240 --> 00:44:32.600
 control.

00:44:34.080 --> 00:44:34.540
 God's

00:44:34.540 --> 00:44:34.700
 in

00:44:34.700 --> 00:44:35.140
 control

00:44:35.140 --> 00:44:35.360
 through

00:44:36.120 --> 00:44:36.360
 Great.

00:44:40.520 --> 00:44:41.020
 captivity.

00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:41.420
 That

00:44:41.420 --> 00:44:41.600
 what

00:44:41.600 --> 00:44:41.800
 we

00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:42.020
 see

00:44:42.020 --> 00:44:42.320
 all

00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:42.640
 throughout

00:44:42.640 --> 00:44:42.800
 in

00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:42.900
 the

00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:43.060
 book

00:44:43.060 --> 00:44:43.180
 of

00:44:43.180 --> 00:44:43.480
 Daniel,

00:44:43.720 --> 00:44:43.840
 what

00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:43.960
 we

 all

00:44:44.380 --> 00:44:44.680
 throughout

00:44:44.860 --> 00:44:45.120
 course

00:44:45.120 --> 00:44:45.440
 of

00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:45.580
 what

00:44:45.580 --> 00:44:45.780
 God

00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:46.100
 brings

00:44:46.100 --> 00:44:46.260
 us

00:44:46.260 --> 00:44:46.360
 in

00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:46.460
 his

00:44:46.460 --> 00:44:46.700
 word

00:44:46.700 --> 00:44:46.980
 is

00:44:46.980 --> 00:44:47.120
 that

00:44:47.120 --> 00:44:47.440
 God

00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:47.600
 is

00:44:47.600 --> 00:44:47.740
 in

00:44:47.740 --> 00:44:48.200
 control

00:44:48.200 --> 00:44:49.340
 and

00:44:49.340 --> 00:44:49.440
 that

00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:49.540
 it

00:44:49.540 --> 00:44:49.640
 can

00:44:49.640 --> 00:44:49.800
 be

00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:50.240
 fearful

00:44:50.240 --> 00:44:50.860
 that

00:44:50.860 --> 00:44:51.020
 when

00:44:51.020 --> 00:44:51.220
 we

00:44:51.220 --> 00:44:51.500
 look

00:44:51.500 --> 00:44:51.760
 at

00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:52.080
 the

00:44:52.080 --> 00:44:52.460
 depth

00:44:52.460 --> 00:44:52.720
 of

00:44:52.720 --> 00:44:53.240
 depravity

00:44:53.240 --> 00:44:53.400
 that

00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:53.520
 is

00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:53.680
 in

00:44:53.680 --> 00:44:53.840
 the

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:54.200
 world

00:44:54.200 --> 00:44:54.880
 around

00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:55.120
 us

00:44:55.120 --> 00:44:55.400
 and

00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:55.560
 we

00:44:55.560 --> 00:44:55.680
 can

00:44:55.680 --> 00:44:55.820
 be

00:44:55.820 --> 00:44:56.320
 succumbed

00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:56.420
 to

00:44:56.420 --> 00:44:56.560
 the

00:44:56.560 --> 00:44:57.020
 emotion

00:44:57.020 --> 00:44:57.440
 of

00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:57.700
 fear

00:44:57.700 --> 00:44:57.880
 that

00:44:57.880 --> 00:44:58.000
 is

00:44:58.000 --> 00:44:58.240
 there

00:44:58.240 --> 00:44:58.660
 instead

00:44:58.660 --> 00:44:58.780
 of

00:44:58.780 --> 00:44:58.900
 the

00:44:58.900 --> 00:44:59.160
 truth

00:44:59.160 --> 00:44:59.300
 that

00:44:59.300 --> 00:44:59.440
 we

00:44:59.440 --> 00:44:59.800
 have

00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:00.220
 that

00:45:00.220 --> 00:45:00.840
 God

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:01.200
 is

00:45:01.200 --> 00:45:01.680
 in

00:45:01.680 --> 00:45:02.540
 control

00:45:02.540 --> 00:45:03.060
 and

00:45:03.060 --> 00:45:03.380
 God

00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:03.740
 doesn't

00:45:03.740 --> 00:45:04.060
 wait

00:45:04.060 --> 00:45:04.280
 to

00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:04.580
 think

00:45:04.580 --> 00:45:04.860
 about

00:45:04.860 --> 00:45:05.060
 what

00:45:05.060 --> 00:45:05.440
 history

00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:05.660
 will

00:45:05.660 --> 00:45:05.980
 be

 Daniel

00:45:29.380 --> 00:45:29.640
 didn't

00:45:29.640 --> 00:45:29.860

00:45:31.080 --> 00:45:31.800
 Daniel

00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:32.000
 went

00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:32.180
 after

 the

00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:32.920
 of

00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:33.220
 God

00:45:33.220 --> 00:45:33.340
 of

00:45:33.340 --> 00:45:33.480
 what

00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:33.800
 God

00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:34.060
 had

00:45:34.060 --> 00:45:34.260
 for

00:45:34.260 --> 00:45:34.420
 him

00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:34.820
 of

 what

00:45:34.980 --> 00:45:35.240
 God

00:45:35.240 --> 00:45:35.700
 desired

00:45:35.700 --> 00:45:35.920
 for

00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:36.100
 him

00:45:36.100 --> 00:45:36.380
 you

00:45:36.380 --> 00:45:36.520
 see

00:45:36.520 --> 00:45:36.960
 Daniel

00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:37.340
 could

00:45:37.340 --> 00:45:37.460
 have

00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:37.760
 counted

00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:38.200
 himself

00:45:38.200 --> 00:45:38.420
 as

00:45:38.420 --> 00:45:38.800
 much

00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:39.140
 but

00:45:39.140 --> 00:45:39.440
 Daniel

00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:39.860
 humbled

00:45:39.860 --> 00:45:40.260
 himself

00:45:40.260 --> 00:45:40.560
 before

00:45:40.560 --> 00:45:40.720
 the

00:45:40.720 --> 00:45:40.960
 Lord

00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:41.440
 Daniel

00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:41.640
 could

00:45:41.640 --> 00:45:41.780
 have

00:45:41.780 --> 00:45:42.300
 leveraged

00:45:42.300 --> 00:45:42.720
 himself

00:45:42.720 --> 00:45:43.080
 for

00:45:43.080 --> 00:45:43.400
 rule

00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:43.580
 but

00:45:43.580 --> 00:45:43.840
 instead

00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:44.240
 Daniel

00:45:44.240 --> 00:45:44.420
 wanted

00:45:44.420 --> 00:45:44.600
 to be

00:45:44.600 --> 00:45:45.080
 obedient

00:45:45.080 --> 00:45:45.460
 to

00:45:45.460 --> 00:45:45.680
 what

00:45:45.680 --> 00:45:45.940
 God

00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:46.240
 had

00:45:46.240 --> 00:45:46.420
 for

00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:46.560
 him

00:45:46.560 --> 00:45:46.840
 you

00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:46.960
 see

00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:47.280
 Daniel

00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:47.460
 could

00:45:47.460 --> 00:45:47.580
 have

00:45:47.580 --> 00:45:48.100
 promoted

00:45:48.100 --> 00:45:48.660
 himself

00:45:48.660 --> 00:45:49.060
 and

00:45:49.060 --> 00:45:49.680
 disobeyed

00:45:49.680 --> 00:45:49.960
 God

00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:50.320
 but

00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:50.660
 Daniel

00:45:50.660 --> 00:45:50.940
 said

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:51.240
 I

00:45:51.240 --> 00:45:51.440
 don't

00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:51.780
 care

00:45:51.780 --> 00:45:51.960
 if

00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:52.100
 it

00:45:52.100 --> 00:45:52.440
 cost

00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:52.700
 me

00:45:52.700 --> 00:45:53.020
 my

00:45:53.020 --> 00:45:53.600
 life

00:45:53.600 --> 00:45:54.980
 you

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:55.120
 will

00:45:55.120 --> 00:45:55.380
 not

00:45:55.380 --> 00:45:55.600
 take

00:45:55.600 --> 00:45:55.780
 away

00:45:55.780 --> 00:45:56.020
 my

00:45:56.020 --> 00:45:56.400
 obedience

00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:56.680
 before

00:45:56.680 --> 00:45:56.820
 a

00:45:56.820 --> 00:45:56.980
 holy

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:57.280
 God

00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.080
 who

00:45:59.080 --> 00:46:00.460
