00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.220
 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons Podcast, where you can listen to audio from our most

00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:13.860
 recent sermons and more. Thanks for listening, and be sure to add this show to your library

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:16.820
 if you'd like to automatically receive new episodes each week.

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.940
 Good morning. If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us

00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:38.120
 in Daniel chapter 5. That's where we will be this morning. We'll cover the entirety of that chapter.

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.580
 If you're one of our first-time guests, thank you so much for being here. At the end of the service,

00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:46.840
 we would love it if you would bless us with this one act. If you wouldn't mind coming back to this

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.700
 connect table back here to my left, I'll be back there along with my wife. We would love to meet you,

00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:56.540
 to thank you for being here, for worshiping with us, to learn your name. And then if you have any

00:00:56.540 --> 00:01:01.120
 questions about us, about who we are as a church, who I am as a pastor, about the ministries of our

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:06.540
 church, we would be more than happy to help answer those questions. And if you would like to get

00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:12.420
 connected in any way, to get you connected as well. Also, as we're turning there in our Bibles, if you

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:16.600
 do not have a Bible, we have some free ones that are back there as well. We'd love for you, whether

00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:20.680
 you're a visitor, whether you're a member, whether you've been coming for several weeks, stop by and get

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.180
 one of those. We want everybody to have a copy of God's Word, and so please stop by and do that. I got a lot of

00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:31.960
 papers kind of out here. I preach off out of my Bible and off of my iPad, but I feel like I'm back

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:36.080
 in eighth grade and I get an open notes test. So I've got a couple things I want to go over really

00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:42.960
 quickly. Next week, during our studies that we have, we take a break in between, and we don't

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.120
 take a break and not gather at 9 a.m. We still gather at 9 a.m. for discipleship. But what Pastor Dave's

00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.700
 been working with is men and women in our congregation have been coming forward and sharing their story in

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:58.420
 Christ and different aspects of that. Some of them, it has involved their salvation story in

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:02.860
 that alone. For others, it's been other aspects for that. And it's been a wonderful time. I've been

00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:08.300
 blessed over and over and over again by coming in and hearing stories, honestly, that most of them

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:13.880
 I've already heard. But to hear them in this format and in this place is a huge blessing to us as a

00:02:13.880 --> 00:02:19.180
 church. And next week, we'll have Jackie Branham. We'll be coming forward to share. Jackie's just such a

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:24.480
 wonderful woman of God, such a beautiful Bible teacher, that you will definitely be blessed to

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.960
 be here. And most of you probably know who Jackie is. Most of you have heard part, some of her story.

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.940
 But I would encourage you to be here, and you will be encouraged by the Lord through Jackie as she

00:02:36.940 --> 00:02:43.460
 faithfully shares. With that being said, on October 12th, we will start our new studies. And

00:02:43.460 --> 00:02:47.700
 discipleship's important. Like gathering and worship, that's important with what we're about to do

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:55.100
 in God's Word, but be able to sit in a room, in a community, in a dynamic with other people of faith, to be

00:02:55.100 --> 00:03:00.240
 able to talk about the things of God, to be able to study God's Word. We highly value, we continue on with

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.600
 our small groups, if you want to get connected in a small group. But for Sunday morning, we do that during

00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:10.520
 the nine o'clock hour as well. For our kids, for our youth upstairs, our young adults, our adults, we've got

00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:16.500
 all types of things that you can gather and that you can connect with. And on this page, there are those

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:21.580
 that are available, the description of those different studies, who is teaching them, if there's

00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:25.100
 a book that you want to walk through. So just glancing through this really quickly, we've got some

00:03:25.100 --> 00:03:31.340
 parenting ones. We have a conversation that's continuing on in Daniel where we talk about, continue to talk

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:35.980
 about the Old Testament, a way to share the gospel and to reach people in your community with where

00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:40.940
 you are. And so, and then there's some on the back. And so, please, we want you to absolutely connect and

00:03:40.940 --> 00:03:45.100
 be a part of one of those studies. And you do not have to be a member of our church to get connected

00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:51.340
 in one of those. And then almost last, next to last, the Harvest Hangout, we are going to be gathering

00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:57.180
 together at the end, I'm sorry, November 2nd, the first Sunday evening in October. We'll be gathered

00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:02.620
 in our parking lot with an opportunity to fellowship and have community with one another, but also as an

00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:06.840
 opportunity to bless the community in which God has placed this church and to hopefully have

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:11.480
 opportunities to share the gospel with people. So really impressive on you. We've got these smaller

00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:18.120
 cards that are at the exits as you leave today. Grab some of these and please give them out. You can

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.520
 grab one, you can grab two, you can grab a handful. I saw somebody last week just encouraged my heart

00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:26.840
 so much. As they were walking by, they showed them to me and then turned it right here and I saw that

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:31.720
 they had a stack and they gave me a thumbs up. And so we want you to go and invite people. You can

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.880
 invite your people that you know that have a church home and that's great, but we are really looking for

00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:41.320
 for those as well that do not have a church home, do not know the Lord, and we're looking for

00:04:41.320 --> 00:04:47.640
 opportunities. The event is completely free, all right? Candy, popcorn, hot dogs, snow cones, games,

00:04:47.640 --> 00:04:53.640
 hayride, and against my better judgment, and it was my idea, a Dunkin' booth, that I'm trying to

00:04:53.640 --> 00:05:00.600
 figure out how to get Dave in it and not me. But we will have a Dunkin' booth as well. So this event is

00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.920
 for all ages, okay? So from the youngest of the young to the most experienced of experienced,

00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.560
 all right? This event is for all ages and so we would love for you to come and to be a part and

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:17.480
 to play the games and to walk around and to talk and fellowship would be absolutely wonderful. And then

00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:22.440
 I know the announcement said you can email Dave, but we are working really hard to try to make sure that

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:27.720
 we have enough trunks for our games and candy and all those things. And so if you would like to be a part of

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.200
 that ministry and do that for that Sunday night, please stop by. Dave will be at the connection

00:05:32.200 --> 00:05:37.800
 table also at the end of the service. You can ask him questions. You can say we're in. We would love

00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:43.560
 for you to partner with us in that in that way if you possibly could. The last thing before we get

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.000
 into Daniel. Last thing, y'all know Pastor Sam came and he shared a few weeks ago. If you don't know

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.000
 who Pastor Sam is, he's one of our missionaries that we work with and he works in India. And over the

00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.600
 last couple of weeks, just ask for me to share and we'll be praying for this. India is definitely a

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:08.920
 persecuted country where you can be arrested, you can be martyred for your faith. And within the

00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:15.160
 last couple of weeks, a couple of churches in the city, which he ministers in during their Sunday

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.200
 gatherings during their worship services, radicals invaded, assaulted the women,

00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:30.920
 beat on the men and the pastors. Some of them were taken away. And so it's very a heightened

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:38.120
 place. It's a stressful place. And Sam will be returning on Tuesday. And so we're going to pray

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.720
 for him and pray for us as we go into God's word. But please keep that prayer close to your

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:51.400
 heart and continue to lift up. Not just Sam, but all of the churches there in India, all the churches

00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:57.240
 all over the world. And so a verse for them for encouragement, a verse for us for encouragement.

00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.640
 This morning as we get into Daniel 5, I want to go back to that. I feel like it's been the driving

00:07:01.640 --> 00:07:07.320
 verse so far for us through seven weeks as we've been walking through Daniel. And it's Daniel chapter

00:07:07.320 --> 00:07:17.320
 1 verse 8. But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food or with the king's

00:07:17.320 --> 00:07:25.240
 wine that he drank. Would you pray with me? God, we thank you for this time where we can gather together.

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.720
 God, the truth of the song that we sang.

00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.360
 For your glory and our good.

00:07:39.320 --> 00:07:45.400
 God, sometimes standing in resolve, it's hard to see our good.

00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:50.600
 So, Lord, we cling to the promise of your word.

00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:58.120
 We cling to knowing that our faithfulness brings glory to you.

00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.200
 So, God, I pray for the faithfulness of the men and women

00:08:03.320 --> 00:08:07.000
 in India and all over this world who face persecution because of their faith.

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.000
 God, I pray for every individual here

00:08:12.200 --> 00:08:13.240
 who fights against

00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:17.480
 the draw of the world to stand faithful and

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.680
 where you have them placed as men and women of God.

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:32.840
 God, that we will live boldly for your glory and know that you work and it is for our good.

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.120
 God, as we study your word in Daniel this morning,

00:08:38.920 --> 00:08:41.800
 Lord, I pray that it would not be my words, but it would be your word.

00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.240
 Lord, I pray that it would draw us closer to you.

00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:49.560
 And Lord, if there's anyone here who does not know Christ as their Lord and Savior,

00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:54.440
 that today would be the day of their salvation.

00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:58.840
 We ask all these things in Jesus and we pray. Amen.

00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:02.920
 Well, there's been a theme so far in Daniel.

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.520
 And the theme is, there's been many themes, but a theme I want to point out and point to this

00:09:08.520 --> 00:09:17.080
 morning is that God is faithful to both use you where he has you and while using you where he has you,

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.160
 he's preparing you for what he has next for you.

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:30.280
 God is faithful to use you right where he has you, and while he's using you for his glory,

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.800
 God is preparing you for what he has next for you.

00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:42.280
 I don't know if you've ever walked through a season of trial, a season of difficulty,

00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:50.280
 a season of famine, a season of suffering, but when we walk through these times together,

00:09:50.280 --> 00:09:53.800
 when we walk through these times with the Lord, when we walk through this,

00:09:53.800 --> 00:10:00.760
 what we can be reminded of in stories like the story of Daniel is that there's this man who resolved

00:10:00.760 --> 00:10:09.000
 Daniel 1:8 in spite of the difficulty of what he could face, that he stood and he stood firm and

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:18.120
 God used him. And we saw how God used him. And Daniel spoke and spoke as a man of faith,

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:26.360
 spoke as a man of hope, spoke as a man of God. And God used him and he prepared him and he poured

00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:34.920
 into and influenced others around him. And they stood and they were faithful and God was faithful.

00:10:34.920 --> 00:10:40.200
 And then time continues on and continues on and continues on. And what we saw last week,

00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:46.760
 some of the fruitfulness of the work of God through his servant Daniel is that the madman Nebuchadnezzar

00:10:46.760 --> 00:10:55.720
 comes to faith. He comes to faith. The story of the world would thought would never be true.

00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:08.360
 But Nebuchadnezzar places his faith in God. And now we come to chapter 5 and we'll see how God's been

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:14.440
 working, how God's been moving, how God's been building. And Daniel, not because Daniel is some

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.400
 great man of character of what he's determined within himself. But Daniel, the man of God,

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:30.760
 resolves himself to be obedient to the God who loves him and is faithful to him.

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:43.960
 We'll stand firm in a moment when literally Daniel stands firm when everything around him

00:11:45.400 --> 00:11:50.680
 begins to collapse. I majored in history in college and

00:11:52.680 --> 00:12:00.040
 so chapters like this where we find in the text, they fascinate me. Some of you may like more of

00:12:00.040 --> 00:12:06.200
 the poetry, but when I see the history of the world as told right here in the historical

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:12.840
 account of scripture, it fascinates me. And what we find here in Daniel chapter 5 is we see

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:19.160
 the historical account of the end of the Babylonian empire. And the Bible is always

00:12:19.160 --> 00:12:26.360
 a historical account. So when we read through scriptures, these are real people in real places

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:33.800
 in real time and historical events are taking place. Now we may see things that your brain is

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:38.920
 saying, well, this is the supernatural. Well, how could this be? Because it's the work of God. It

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:43.560
 doesn't make it not true. It doesn't make it that someone sat there and created this. This is a true

00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:50.760
 story. The Bible, while it does not tell all of the events of history, every event that we find

00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:59.960
 in the Bible is of historical record. In fact, in the history of all the archaeological digs that have

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:07.960
 ever taken place, there's never been one moment where they've uncovered something that discredits

00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:15.640
 the Bible. In fact, the exact opposite. So what you will read in chapter 5, we'll work all the way

00:13:15.640 --> 00:13:23.880
 through it, is a real event happening in a real time to real people. And God takes it not just from

00:13:23.880 --> 00:13:30.440
 the history pages of the world, but he plants it right here in his very word for us to be able to read.

00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.080
 So let's read verses 1 through 4, Daniel chapter 5.

00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:47.240
 King Belshazzar made a great feast for thousands of his lords and drank wine in front of the thousand.

00:13:49.400 --> 00:13:56.600
 Belshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar,

00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:02.840
 his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, be brought that the king and his lords,

00:14:03.640 --> 00:14:10.680
 notice this, pay attention to these nouns, that his lords, his wives and his concubines

00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:12.920
 might drink from them.

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:20.120
 Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem,

00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:26.680
 and the kings and his lords, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:37.960
 They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron and stone.

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.440
 We want to begin here by looking at the folly of man.

00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:45.240
 By looking at the folly of man.

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:55.080
 I told you from the beginning, what we are walking into here in Daniel chapter 5 is the fall of the great world empire of Babylon.

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.980
 But we step into a party.

00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.380
 We step into a party where destruction is going to take place.

00:15:03.380 --> 00:15:13.660
 Now, as we've walked through the verses each week of Daniel, we have now moved from Nebuchadnezzar as ruler to a man known as Belshazzar.

00:15:13.780 --> 00:15:17.840
 Now, Belshazzar is the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar.

00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:20.360
 And if you're like, we'll pause, Bo, just there for a second.

00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:23.980
 It said right here that his father had taken out of the temple.

00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:34.520
 And yes, it says father, but when we look and understand through other passages, we see that it is his grandson and that there is no word in the original language for grandfather.

00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:38.880
 So we're seeing some generations of things that have passed, and this is important, all right?

00:15:38.880 --> 00:15:46.100
 About 70 years have passed from Daniel 1 to Daniel 5.

00:15:46.660 --> 00:15:49.860
 About 70 years has passed.

00:15:50.840 --> 00:16:01.120
 And so from the ruling of Nebuchadnezzar to Belshazzar, the empire of Babylon has continued to decline as it expands.

00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:04.040
 It's declined morally.

00:16:04.380 --> 00:16:07.020
 It's experienced some decline politically.

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:13.620
 And history tells us that there are aspects where it's declining through its military powers as well.

00:16:14.900 --> 00:16:19.920
 Between Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, there are four other rulers that span between them.

00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:26.480
 That the book of Daniel does not give us, but we can see from other passages of Scripture and from history as well.

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:36.420
 And these four other rulers have largely and did not all, but most as a result of assassinations.

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:47.340
 And all these events from the death of Nebuchadnezzar to the events of Daniel 5 have been about 23 years.

00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:57.640
 So 70 years from Daniel 1 to Daniel 5, about 23 years, the best that I could work, my limited math capabilities from Daniel 4 to Daniel 5.

00:16:57.940 --> 00:17:01.680
 If you do a different math and it comes out different, let's just agree that we're a little close, all right?

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:03.180
 So we step into this feast.

00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:04.720
 Step into this feast.

00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:07.920
 All around Babylon, there are attacks that are happening.

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.940
 We said that the empire is going to fall.

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:13.700
 The empire is falling.

00:17:15.580 --> 00:17:20.140
 And Belshazzar is the ruler in the capital city of Babylon.

00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:21.760
 Says, I know what?

00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:28.340
 Let's create a feast as the Medes and the Persians begin to attack.

00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:32.060
 He knows that he gets the reports from the battlefield.

00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:35.700
 They've largely eliminated the Babylonian army.

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.600
 And they are now seeking to take the city of Babylon.

00:17:42.580 --> 00:17:45.220
 I don't know if he thought, well, it's all going to end.

00:17:45.300 --> 00:17:46.580
 I don't think that's what he thought.

00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:52.300
 So what he decides to do, though, is decides in the boldness of everything that is happening,

00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:55.900
 that he's going to throw a party.

00:17:56.900 --> 00:18:06.780
 A party that has been filled with the indulgences of man, both in drink and in sexuality.

00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:14.160
 I wrote in my notes this week that it was a party that would make Las Vegas blush.

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:18.760
 It's what we find in Daniel 5.

00:18:23.300 --> 00:18:27.100
 He believes he is okay.

00:18:28.380 --> 00:18:31.340
 He believes that he is fine.

00:18:32.540 --> 00:18:38.820
 And in spite of everything that around him that says, you're going to die,

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:40.920
 he finds this comfort in himself.

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.460
 He believes that he's protected.

00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:45.060
 He believes that he's protected.

00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:51.520
 The walls that surrounded Babylon were 87 feet thick.

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.560
 87 feet thick.

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.160
 To give you some perspective.

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:55.620
 All right.

00:18:56.320 --> 00:18:58.240
 This is going to be awkward for the camera back there.

00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:02.220
 But from right here to the camera, if you want to kind of turn and kind of see,

00:19:03.040 --> 00:19:03.860
 that's halfway.

00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:05.720
 That's halfway.

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.420
 So you're talking about some good, soundproof, sound barrier walls.

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:13.240
 Double that length, that's the thickness of the walls.

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:26.560
 The walls are 350 feet high, have guard towers on top of the 350 feet that range from 100 to 450 feet high.

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:27.940
 He's protected.

00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:33.460
 Belshazzar thinks he's going to be sustained.

00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:38.640
 When they built the city of Babylon, the Euphrates runs through the city.

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:43.520
 So as they built the walls, what they did, instead of putting the city beside the river,

00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:45.320
 because they know times like this would come,

00:19:45.580 --> 00:19:54.880
 they built the city and they allowed the waters to run underneath the walls and through the city itself.

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.340
 So Belshazzar looks around, he says, you know what, I'm protected.

00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:01.160
 I'm going to be sustained.

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:05.040
 My confidence is in what I'm able to do and who I am.

00:20:09.040 --> 00:20:10.000
 And so he gets drunk.

00:20:12.260 --> 00:20:15.300
 He engages in sinful sexual activity.

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:17.760
 But then he does something else.

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.640
 If you go all the way back to Daniel chapter 1, I believe it's in verse 2.

00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:31.440
 That when the king conquered the southern empire of Judah,

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:34.480
 he took for himself people.

00:20:34.800 --> 00:20:38.660
 That's where Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego come from, into captivity.

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:42.160
 But then he took artifacts from the temple.

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.980
 He took artifacts from the temple.

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:52.200
 And these artifacts were brought into the pagan temples so that the Babylonians could show,

00:20:52.760 --> 00:20:57.880
 see, your God could not stop you from our gods.

00:20:58.820 --> 00:21:01.500
 Your God could not protect you from us.

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.140
 It was a way to mock.

00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:06.780
 And so Belshazzar says, well, I'm going to do one better.

00:21:07.780 --> 00:21:15.280
 And he says, bring me the vessels that were taken from the temple.

00:21:16.980 --> 00:21:20.960
 And so in all the acts that are happening and taking place,

00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:26.780
 he uses these vessels for his purposes.

00:21:29.060 --> 00:21:33.380
 Now here's what's remarkable about this.

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.860
 Belshazzar in his mocking of the one true holy God

00:21:41.860 --> 00:21:45.380
 does not do so out of a place of ignorance.

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:49.200
 Does not do so out of a place where no one ever told me the story.

00:21:50.760 --> 00:21:52.240
 He does it out of knowledge.

00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:54.560
 He would have known.

00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:59.860
 He would have known the events of Daniel 1 through 4.

00:22:00.060 --> 00:22:03.640
 He would have known of the experience of his grandfather in Daniel 4.

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:05.460
 He would have heard about the testimony.

00:22:05.820 --> 00:22:07.660
 The Babylonians marked history.

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:09.500
 They made sure that anyone in power,

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:11.320
 at any place in power,

00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:13.620
 even when Daniel was captured and brought in,

00:22:13.780 --> 00:22:15.240
 that he was taught the ways of the Babylonians.

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.820
 He was taught their religion.

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:17.720
 He was taught their history.

00:22:18.020 --> 00:22:19.300
 Daniel was taught all of these things.

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:21.620
 And so this king would have known all of this.

00:22:22.020 --> 00:22:26.080
 So even though that he knew of the knowledge of God,

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.980
 his heart was not surrendered to the truth of God.

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:34.360
 And I think that's where we maybe find,

00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:40.800
 as we've compared the culture of then to the culture of today.

00:22:42.280 --> 00:22:44.200
 It's maybe where we find a lot of,

00:22:44.300 --> 00:22:46.620
 it is definitely where we find a lot of our world.

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:50.040
 And maybe if some of us are being truthful,

00:22:52.040 --> 00:22:54.360
 it's maybe even where some of us find ourselves today.

00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:02.680
 That we accept the truth of God's word as intellectual fact,

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.780
 but continue on in the folly of man

00:23:06.780 --> 00:23:10.220
 and refuse to surrender to Jesus Christ

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.400
 is the way, the truth, and the life.

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.520
 And what we're battling with

00:23:14.520 --> 00:23:18.140
 is a true condition of the heart

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:22.000
 that's lost and far and apart from God.

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:27.840
 What we see in Belshazzar who knew,

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.900
 who placed his hope in his circumstances,

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:33.860
 his hope and his confidence in himself,

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.440
 and delighted in the flesh.

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.540
 And we don't see ourselves as nasty as he is,

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:43.880
 but is that really who we are?

00:23:45.620 --> 00:23:48.280
 And just like Belshazzar,

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:53.580
 apart from the true living God,

00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:56.520
 we stand,

00:23:56.900 --> 00:24:00.160
 we stand in the oncoming path

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.240
 of the wrath of God.

00:24:03.280 --> 00:24:04.440
 So let's continue on.

00:24:04.560 --> 00:24:05.360
 This party's happening.

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:07.500
 This party's taking place.

00:24:13.120 --> 00:24:14.200
 Verse 5.

00:24:15.620 --> 00:24:20.580
 Immediately the fingers of a human hand

00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:21.940
 appeared

00:24:21.940 --> 00:24:26.380
 and wrote on the plaster of the wall

00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:28.100
 of the king's palace

00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:30.500
 opposite the lampstand.

00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.300
 And the king saw the hand as it wrote.

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:38.140
 Then the king's color changed

00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:40.580
 and his thoughts alarmed him.

00:24:41.620 --> 00:24:43.020
 His limbs gave way

00:24:43.020 --> 00:24:45.520
 and his knees knocked together.

00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:48.180
 The king called loudly

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.740
 to bring in the enchanters,

00:24:50.020 --> 00:24:50.580
 the Chaldeans,

00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:52.340
 and the astrologers.

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:54.600
 The king declared

00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:56.160
 to the wise men of Babylon,

00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.680
 whoever reads this writing

00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.300
 and shows me its interpretation

00:25:00.300 --> 00:25:02.440
 shall be clothed with purple,

00:25:03.540 --> 00:25:05.280
 have a chain of gold around his neck,

00:25:05.900 --> 00:25:07.340
 and shall be the third ruler

00:25:07.340 --> 00:25:08.040
 in the kingdom.

00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:11.440
 Then all the king's wise men came in,

00:25:12.100 --> 00:25:13.640
 but they could not read the writing

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.640
 or make known to the king

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:15.660
 or make known to the king

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.540
 the interpretation.

00:25:18.040 --> 00:25:20.260
 King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed

00:25:20.260 --> 00:25:22.700
 and his color changed

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:26.920
 and his lords were perplexed.

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:29.760
 So we move from the folly of man

00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:31.000
 to the foolishness of the world.

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:35.220
 I think if you were there,

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:37.900
 what begins to happen

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:38.480
 is a moment

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:40.560
 that you will absolutely never forget.

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.000
 The Bible tells us,

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:43.840
 and so we believe,

00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:47.700
 that fingers appear.

00:25:49.340 --> 00:25:53.200
 And the fingers begin to write on the wall.

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.980
 And in that moment,

00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:57.280
 everything stops

00:25:57.280 --> 00:26:01.400
 and Belshazzar is shook to his core.

00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:04.200
 The Bible tells us

00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.700
 that the color of his face changes.

00:26:08.340 --> 00:26:11.540
 He begins to have a panic attack.

00:26:13.300 --> 00:26:14.700
 Fear strikes him

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:17.180
 and he is about to pass out.

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:19.480
 Now I want you to think about this.

00:26:19.580 --> 00:26:19.680
 Wait.

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:22.220
 As the hand of God

00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:24.200
 is working and moving,

00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:26.820
 this is a man

00:26:26.820 --> 00:26:27.760
 who's not troubled

00:26:27.760 --> 00:26:28.640
 by the army

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.560
 outside his walls,

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:32.540
 but God says,

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.380
 I'm about to rock you

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:34.080
 to your core.

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.600
 And he wants some help.

00:26:38.820 --> 00:26:39.740
 You remember the patterns

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:40.920
 that we see in Scripture?

00:26:42.300 --> 00:26:43.980
 And so he calls out

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:45.500
 for the same group of men

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:47.800
 who what we've seen in Scripture

00:26:47.800 --> 00:26:50.800
 have never been able to help.

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.020
 They may be guys

00:26:54.020 --> 00:26:54.880
 with good intentions,

00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.300
 but they never really have

00:26:57.300 --> 00:26:59.060
 the good answer.

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:00.720
 And he says,

00:27:00.800 --> 00:27:01.940
 look, if you can help me,

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:04.100
 I'll promote you.

00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:07.420
 I'll clothe you as royalty.

00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:10.440
 I'll give you wealth.

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:13.720
 And they could not

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:15.260
 read

00:27:15.260 --> 00:27:17.160
 what was written

00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.200
 on the wall.

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:23.120
 And as God

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:24.880
 is getting

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.720
 His attention,

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.620
 here is where

00:27:29.620 --> 00:27:31.340
 Belshazzar

00:27:31.340 --> 00:27:32.600
 has failed.

00:27:34.040 --> 00:27:35.520
 World religion

00:27:35.520 --> 00:27:37.360
 has failed him.

00:27:38.360 --> 00:27:40.300
 The thought of man

00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:41.780
 has failed him.

00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.580
 The gods

00:27:43.580 --> 00:27:44.580
 and goddesses

00:27:44.580 --> 00:27:45.860
 that they've created,

00:27:46.020 --> 00:27:46.600
 the faith

00:27:46.600 --> 00:27:47.720
 of this world

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.920
 has come up short

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.840
 once again.

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:51.880
 Politics

00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:54.000
 has failed him.

00:27:55.320 --> 00:27:56.340
 There's no treaty

00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:57.100
 to be written,

00:27:57.260 --> 00:27:57.860
 no battle

00:27:57.860 --> 00:27:58.660
 to be fought,

00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.640
 no law

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.680
 that can pass,

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:01.640
 no wall

00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:02.560
 to be built

00:28:02.560 --> 00:28:04.600
 that can stop

00:28:04.600 --> 00:28:05.460
 the real

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:06.360
 evident

00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:08.080
 hand of God

00:28:08.080 --> 00:28:09.380
 in that moment.

00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:12.220
 And I think

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:14.460
 beyond that,

00:28:14.560 --> 00:28:14.860
 what has

00:28:14.860 --> 00:28:16.320
 shook him

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:17.280
 to his core

00:28:17.280 --> 00:28:21.600
 is that

00:28:21.600 --> 00:28:23.120
 his faith

00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:24.680
 in himself,

00:28:25.320 --> 00:28:27.040
 it's the

00:28:27.040 --> 00:28:27.940
 realization

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:29.940
 that he can

00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:30.680
 do nothing

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:32.660
 and he knows

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:32.880
 it.

00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:34.920
 Look back

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:35.620
 at verse 9.

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:39.860
 After he's

00:28:39.860 --> 00:28:40.640
 called everybody,

00:28:41.300 --> 00:28:42.140
 the religious

00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:42.600
 leaders,

00:28:43.620 --> 00:28:44.320
 the political

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:44.940
 readers,

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:48.300
 again,

00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:50.260
 he hoped

00:28:50.260 --> 00:28:51.020
 for comfort.

00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:52.700
 But then

00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:53.500
 King Belshazzar

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:54.280
 was greatly

00:28:54.280 --> 00:28:55.620
 alarmed

00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:57.460
 and again

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:58.080
 his color

00:28:58.080 --> 00:28:59.000
 changed

00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:00.420
 and his

00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:01.020
 Lord

00:29:01.020 --> 00:29:02.280
 were

00:29:02.280 --> 00:29:04.680
 perplexed.

00:29:06.420 --> 00:29:06.940
 Oftentimes,

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:07.820
 it's the

00:29:07.820 --> 00:29:08.640
 folly of man

00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:09.440
 that we blame

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:09.820
 and we

00:29:09.820 --> 00:29:10.600
 should.

00:29:11.820 --> 00:29:12.280
 When we

00:29:12.280 --> 00:29:12.840
 look around

00:29:12.840 --> 00:29:13.400
 and we see

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:14.280
 the depravity,

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:15.180
 when we see

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.580
 the decline,

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.180
 when we see

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:17.840
 the issues

00:29:17.840 --> 00:29:18.680
 of our world,

00:29:18.780 --> 00:29:19.200
 it is

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:19.940
 sin.

00:29:21.860 --> 00:29:22.820
 But when we

00:29:22.820 --> 00:29:23.420
 see the

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:24.300
 folly of man,

00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:24.800
 folks,

00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:27.700
 who do we

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:28.420
 turn to

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:30.080
 for the

00:29:30.080 --> 00:29:30.420
 answer?

00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:32.260
 Who do we

00:29:32.260 --> 00:29:32.840
 turn to

00:29:32.840 --> 00:29:33.220
 for the

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:33.660
 solution?

00:29:34.780 --> 00:29:35.400
 Who do we

00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:35.940
 turn to

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.280
 to make

00:29:36.280 --> 00:29:36.660
 everything

00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:37.080
 right

00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:37.620
 when

00:29:37.620 --> 00:29:38.180
 everything's

00:29:38.180 --> 00:29:38.580
 spinning out

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:39.080
 of control?

00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:41.860
 Are we

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.720
 like Belshazzar

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.020
 and we

00:29:43.020 --> 00:29:43.500
 turn to

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:44.180
 the foolishness

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:44.520
 of the

00:29:44.520 --> 00:29:44.800
 world?

00:29:45.620 --> 00:29:46.260
 That we

00:29:46.260 --> 00:29:47.180
 return to

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:47.720
 the religion

00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:48.100
 of the

00:29:48.100 --> 00:29:48.400
 world?

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.580
 That we

00:29:49.580 --> 00:29:50.160
 turn to

00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:50.780
 the politics

00:29:50.780 --> 00:29:51.220
 of the

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:51.520
 world?

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:52.860
 That we

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.680
 turn to

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.500
 ourself?

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.260
 And in

00:29:56.260 --> 00:29:56.840
 doing so,

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:58.600
 even in

00:29:58.600 --> 00:29:58.920
 our

00:29:58.920 --> 00:29:59.460
 greatest

00:29:59.460 --> 00:30:00.400
 achievements,

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.160
 when dealing

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.620
 with the

00:30:02.620 --> 00:30:03.700
 depravity of

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.460
 the world,

00:30:05.220 --> 00:30:05.920
 we put a

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:06.560
 band-aid on

00:30:06.560 --> 00:30:06.980
 an open

00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:07.680
 heart wound.

00:30:09.520 --> 00:30:10.620
 Only Jesus

00:30:10.620 --> 00:30:11.600
 can fix

00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:12.920
 what is

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.440
 broken

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:15.560
 because it's

00:30:15.560 --> 00:30:16.260
 been broken

00:30:16.260 --> 00:30:17.740
 since the

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.100
 garden.

00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:21.760
 When we

00:30:21.760 --> 00:30:22.080
 think about

00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:22.620
 laws,

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:24.860
 laws don't

00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:26.260
 heal the

00:30:26.260 --> 00:30:26.620
 heart of

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:26.960
 man,

00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:28.920
 only God

00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:29.360
 does.

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:30.420
 Only

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:31.320
 Christ does.

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:33.640
 When we

00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:34.180
 look and

00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:35.680
 see the

00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.540
 evidence of

00:30:36.540 --> 00:30:37.480
 the depravity

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:38.980
 that is in

00:30:38.980 --> 00:30:39.640
 our town,

00:30:40.120 --> 00:30:40.780
 in our

00:30:40.780 --> 00:30:41.260
 county,

00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:42.280
 in our

00:30:42.280 --> 00:30:42.800
 state,

00:30:43.280 --> 00:30:43.840
 in our

00:30:43.840 --> 00:30:44.380
 country,

00:30:44.860 --> 00:30:45.300
 in all

00:30:45.300 --> 00:30:45.800
 over the

00:30:45.800 --> 00:30:46.160
 world,

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.660
 we can

00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:48.300
 draw the

00:30:48.300 --> 00:30:48.760
 greatest

00:30:48.760 --> 00:30:50.520
 minds of

00:30:50.520 --> 00:30:51.080
 this world

00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:51.620
 together,

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:53.160
 put them

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:53.580
 in a

00:30:53.580 --> 00:30:55.260
 room and

00:30:55.260 --> 00:30:55.860
 allow them

00:30:55.860 --> 00:30:56.780
 to band-aid

00:30:56.780 --> 00:30:57.480
 the open

00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:58.520
 wounds of

00:30:58.520 --> 00:30:59.180
 society.

00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:01.000
 And I'm

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:01.540
 not saying,

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:01.920
 folks,

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:02.300
 that we

00:31:02.300 --> 00:31:02.800
 shouldn't be

00:31:02.800 --> 00:31:04.060
 active and

00:31:04.060 --> 00:31:04.500
 try to be

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:05.540
 good influence

00:31:05.540 --> 00:31:06.480
 and try to do

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.040
 the things that

00:31:07.040 --> 00:31:08.020
 are right and

00:31:08.020 --> 00:31:09.120
 push for

00:31:09.120 --> 00:31:10.260
 things that are

00:31:10.260 --> 00:31:10.640
 going to bring

00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:11.220
 peace and

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:11.480
 unity.

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.620
 I'm all for

00:31:12.620 --> 00:31:12.860
 that.

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.640
 I'm pro

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:13.920
 that.

00:31:14.100 --> 00:31:14.700
 Let's have the

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:15.360
 conversations.

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.200
 Let's do

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.780
 those things.

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.440
 But can we

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.300
 get to the

00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:19.020
 point where

00:31:19.020 --> 00:31:19.740
 we come to

00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:20.580
 and acknowledge

00:31:20.580 --> 00:31:21.240
 that the

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.060
 only thing

00:31:22.060 --> 00:31:22.500
 that's going

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:22.820
 to stop

00:31:22.820 --> 00:31:23.320
 kids from

00:31:23.320 --> 00:31:23.680
 dying,

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:27.240
 the only

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:27.920
 thing that's

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.120
 going to

00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:29.000
 stop men

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:30.760
 from assaulting

00:31:30.760 --> 00:31:31.320
 little boys

00:31:31.320 --> 00:31:31.600
 and little

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:32.080
 girls,

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.500
 the only

00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:35.200
 thing that's

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.380
 going to

00:31:35.380 --> 00:31:36.300
 stop theft,

00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:38.960
 the only

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.560
 thing that's

00:31:39.560 --> 00:31:39.720
 going to

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.500
 bring countries

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:41.060
 who have

00:31:41.060 --> 00:31:41.400
 been at

00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:42.140
 war for

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:43.000
 thousands of

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.840
 years to

00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:44.780
 peace is

00:31:44.780 --> 00:31:45.960
 Jesus Christ.

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.120
 How do I

00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:49.660
 know that?

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:51.260
 Because it's

00:31:51.260 --> 00:31:52.000
 what he did

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.360
 in me and

00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:53.900
 it's what

00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:54.400
 he's done

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:54.880
 in you.

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.080
 It's

00:31:56.080 --> 00:31:56.540
 Jesus.

00:31:57.100 --> 00:31:58.060
 That's why

00:31:58.060 --> 00:32:00.320
 revelation is

00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:01.140
 not the hope

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:01.540
 of a new

00:32:01.540 --> 00:32:01.900
 political

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:02.420
 government.

00:32:02.600 --> 00:32:03.020
 It's the

00:32:03.020 --> 00:32:03.340
 hope of

00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:03.760
 Christ.

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:08.240
 So be

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.900
 involved.

00:32:10.020 --> 00:32:10.480
 Be a

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:11.200
 person of

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.800
 influence.

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:13.320
 Be a

00:32:13.320 --> 00:32:13.820
 person who

00:32:13.820 --> 00:32:14.320
 shares.

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:15.440
 But it's

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:16.400
 got to

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:17.240
 come back

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.260
 to Jesus.

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:21.440
 so yet

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:21.960
 again another

00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.800
 king calls

00:32:23.800 --> 00:32:25.360
 forth this

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:25.720
 group of

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.360
 losers who

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:27.900
 can't answer

00:32:27.900 --> 00:32:28.560
 his questions.

00:32:30.520 --> 00:32:31.340
 I just

00:32:31.340 --> 00:32:32.060
 picture like

00:32:32.060 --> 00:32:33.060
 all right

00:32:33.060 --> 00:32:33.520
 guys here's

00:32:33.520 --> 00:32:33.820
 what I did

00:32:33.820 --> 00:32:34.220
 this week.

00:32:35.260 --> 00:32:36.300
 Number one

00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:37.000
 when I read

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:38.060
 through verses

00:32:38.060 --> 00:32:39.000
 five through

00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:40.560
 nine and the

00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:41.260
 writing on the

00:32:41.260 --> 00:32:42.800
 wall the

00:32:42.800 --> 00:32:44.100
 1993 song

00:32:44.100 --> 00:32:44.620
 John Deere

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:45.020
 Green by

00:32:45.020 --> 00:32:45.600
 Joe Diffie

00:32:45.600 --> 00:32:46.520
 just kind of

00:32:46.520 --> 00:32:46.880
 popped in

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:47.320
 my head

00:32:47.320 --> 00:32:48.280
 and I've

00:32:48.280 --> 00:32:48.720
 been battling

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:49.220
 that all

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.720
 week and

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:50.260
 there you

00:32:50.260 --> 00:32:50.760
 go there's

00:32:50.760 --> 00:32:51.720
 my confession

00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:52.460
 but then I

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:53.180
 also kind of

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:53.820
 picture like the

00:32:53.820 --> 00:32:54.580
 three stooges in

00:32:54.580 --> 00:32:55.160
 the moment right

00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:55.860
 like these are

00:32:55.860 --> 00:32:56.260
 the people who

00:32:56.260 --> 00:32:56.860
 are coming in

00:32:56.860 --> 00:32:57.600
 why do you

00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:57.840
 think they're

00:32:57.840 --> 00:32:58.120
 going to get

00:32:58.120 --> 00:32:58.640
 this right

00:32:58.640 --> 00:32:59.280
 they can't

00:32:59.280 --> 00:32:59.620
 get this

00:32:59.620 --> 00:33:01.060
 right and

00:33:01.060 --> 00:33:01.740
 they don't

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:05.460
 so as God

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:06.300
 places us in

00:33:06.300 --> 00:33:08.780
 moments so

00:33:08.780 --> 00:33:09.220
 that we can

00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:10.100
 glorify him

00:33:10.100 --> 00:33:11.960
 as we walk

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.560
 through them

00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:14.120
 because he's

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.720
 preparing

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.480
 remember from

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:16.940
 that very

00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:17.340
 beginning

00:33:17.340 --> 00:33:18.940
 Daniel was

00:33:18.940 --> 00:33:19.420
 the man for

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:19.880
 the time

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:21.920
 Daniel was

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.340
 the man with

00:33:22.340 --> 00:33:22.860
 the plan

00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:24.640
 Daniel was

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:25.100
 the man of

00:33:25.100 --> 00:33:25.600
 resolve

00:33:25.600 --> 00:33:27.320
 so look at

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:27.720
 me at verse

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.200
 10

00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.780
 the queen

00:33:30.780 --> 00:33:31.780
 probably

00:33:31.780 --> 00:33:32.540
 Belshazzar's

00:33:32.540 --> 00:33:33.120
 mom okay

00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:35.860
 with words

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:36.740
 the queen

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:39.160
 because of the

00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:39.860
 words of the

00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:40.700
 king and his

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:41.700
 lords came into

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:42.180
 the banquet

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:43.920
 hall and the

00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:45.180
 queen declared

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:46.800
 oh king

00:33:46.800 --> 00:33:47.640
 live forever

00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:49.660
 let not your

00:33:49.660 --> 00:33:50.620
 thoughts alarm

00:33:50.620 --> 00:33:51.360
 you or your

00:33:51.360 --> 00:33:52.400
 color change

00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:53.880
 there is a

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:54.660
 man in your

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:55.480
 kingdom in

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:56.800
 whom is the

00:33:56.800 --> 00:33:57.860
 spirit of the

00:33:57.860 --> 00:33:58.760
 holy gods

00:33:58.760 --> 00:34:00.900
 in the days of

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:01.580
 your father

00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:02.880
 light and

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:03.640
 understanding

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:04.620
 and wisdom

00:34:04.620 --> 00:34:06.100
 like the

00:34:06.100 --> 00:34:06.800
 wisdoms of the

00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:07.760
 gods were found

00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:08.240
 in him

00:34:08.240 --> 00:34:09.760
 and king

00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:10.560
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:34:10.560 --> 00:34:11.720
 your father

00:34:11.720 --> 00:34:12.800
 your father

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.560
 the king

00:34:13.560 --> 00:34:15.240
 made him

00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:15.940
 chief of the

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:16.500
 magicians

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.260
 the enchanters

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:18.160
 the chaldeans

00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:20.240
 and astrologers

00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:22.480
 because of an

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.600
 excellent spirit

00:34:23.600 --> 00:34:25.120
 knowledge and

00:34:25.120 --> 00:34:26.100
 understanding to

00:34:26.100 --> 00:34:27.020
 interpret dreams

00:34:27.020 --> 00:34:28.080
 explain riddles

00:34:28.080 --> 00:34:28.900
 and solve

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:29.800
 problems were

00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:30.300
 found in

00:34:30.300 --> 00:34:30.740
 Daniel

00:34:30.740 --> 00:34:32.540
 whom the

00:34:32.540 --> 00:34:33.400
 king named

00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:34.580
 Belteshazzar

00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:37.040
 now Daniel

00:34:37.040 --> 00:34:38.420
 now let

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:39.040
 Daniel be

00:34:39.040 --> 00:34:39.680
 called

00:34:39.680 --> 00:34:40.620
 and he

00:34:40.620 --> 00:34:41.460
 will show

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.660
 the

00:34:42.660 --> 00:34:43.360
 interpretation

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.240
 then Daniel

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:46.700
 was brought

00:34:46.700 --> 00:34:47.240
 in before the

00:34:47.240 --> 00:34:47.840
 king and the

00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.480
 king answered

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:48.960
 and said to

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:49.320
 Daniel

00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.060
 you are that

00:34:51.060 --> 00:34:51.540
 Daniel

00:34:51.540 --> 00:34:53.340
 one of the

00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:54.000
 exiles of

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:54.240
 Judah

00:34:54.240 --> 00:34:55.080
 we'll just pause

00:34:55.080 --> 00:34:55.520
 really quick

00:34:55.520 --> 00:34:56.160
 this is how

00:34:56.160 --> 00:34:56.700
 disconnected

00:34:56.700 --> 00:34:57.500
 this guy is

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:58.240
 Daniel's

00:34:58.240 --> 00:34:58.980
 basically the

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.540
 prime minister

00:34:59.540 --> 00:35:01.960
 and he has

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:02.420
 no clue

00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:05.400
 whom the

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:05.880
 king my

00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:06.440
 father brought

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:06.960
 from Judah

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.280
 I've heard of

00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:09.800
 you that the

00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:10.480
 spirit of the

00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:12.180
 gods is in

00:35:12.180 --> 00:35:12.660
 you and that

00:35:12.660 --> 00:35:13.080
 light and

00:35:13.080 --> 00:35:13.880
 understanding and

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:15.100
 excellent wisdom

00:35:15.100 --> 00:35:16.100
 are found in

00:35:16.100 --> 00:35:16.320
 you

00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:17.800
 now the

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:18.320
 wise men

00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:18.480
 and

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.840
 chanters

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:19.140
 have been

00:35:19.140 --> 00:35:19.560
 brought in

00:35:19.560 --> 00:35:20.120
 before me

00:35:20.120 --> 00:35:20.580
 to read

00:35:20.580 --> 00:35:20.900
 this

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:21.700
 writing

00:35:21.700 --> 00:35:22.040
 to make

00:35:22.040 --> 00:35:22.420
 known to

00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:22.540
 me

00:35:22.540 --> 00:35:22.680
 its

00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:23.080
 interpretation

00:35:23.080 --> 00:35:23.660
 but they

00:35:23.660 --> 00:35:23.940
 could not

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:24.300
 show the

00:35:24.300 --> 00:35:24.880
 interpretation

00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.720
 of the

00:35:25.720 --> 00:35:26.040
 matter

00:35:26.040 --> 00:35:26.460
 but I

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:26.680
 have

00:35:26.680 --> 00:35:27.240
 heard

00:35:27.240 --> 00:35:28.000
 that you

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:28.440
 can give

00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:29.180
 interpretations

00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:29.700
 and solve

00:35:29.700 --> 00:35:30.240
 problems

00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:31.740
 now if you

00:35:31.740 --> 00:35:32.180
 can read

00:35:32.180 --> 00:35:32.640
 the writing

00:35:32.640 --> 00:35:33.020
 to make

00:35:33.020 --> 00:35:33.320
 it known

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:33.620
 to me

00:35:33.620 --> 00:35:33.760
 its

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.380
 interpretation

00:35:34.380 --> 00:35:35.080
 you shall

00:35:35.080 --> 00:35:35.680
 be clothed

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:36.180
 in purple

00:35:36.180 --> 00:35:37.100
 and have a

00:35:37.100 --> 00:35:37.480
 chain of

00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:37.920
 gold

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.520
 around your

00:35:38.520 --> 00:35:38.880
 neck

00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:39.600
 and shall

00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:39.920
 be the

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:40.300
 third

00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:40.780
 ruler

00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:41.160
 in the

00:35:41.160 --> 00:35:41.500
 kingdom

00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:42.640
 then

00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:42.960
 Daniel

00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:43.440
 answered

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:43.820
 and said

00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:44.220
 before the

00:35:44.220 --> 00:35:44.460
 king

00:35:44.460 --> 00:35:44.980
 by the way

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:45.300
 do you know

00:35:45.300 --> 00:35:45.620
 a really

00:35:45.620 --> 00:35:45.960
 godly

00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:46.300
 person

00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:47.240
 that does

00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:47.640
 not have

00:35:47.640 --> 00:35:48.040
 tact

00:35:48.040 --> 00:35:49.500
 that's

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:49.880
 Daniel

00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.360
 let your

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.040
 gifts be

00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:53.920
 for yourself

00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:54.960
 and give

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.760
 your rewards

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:56.520
 to another

00:35:56.520 --> 00:35:58.020
 nevertheless

00:35:58.020 --> 00:35:59.100
 I will read

00:35:59.100 --> 00:35:59.620
 the writing

00:35:59.620 --> 00:36:00.360
 to the king

00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:01.220
 and make

00:36:01.220 --> 00:36:02.180
 known to him

00:36:02.180 --> 00:36:03.160
 the interpretation

00:36:03.160 --> 00:36:04.820
 oh king

00:36:04.820 --> 00:36:05.460
 the most high

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:06.020
 god gave

00:36:06.020 --> 00:36:06.700
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:36:06.700 --> 00:36:07.260
 your father

00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:08.060
 kingship

00:36:08.060 --> 00:36:08.580
 and greatness

00:36:08.580 --> 00:36:09.240
 and glory

00:36:09.240 --> 00:36:09.940
 and majesty

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.900
 and because

00:36:10.900 --> 00:36:11.600
 of the greatness

00:36:11.600 --> 00:36:12.260
 that he gave

00:36:12.260 --> 00:36:12.600
 him all

00:36:12.600 --> 00:36:13.020
 people's

00:36:13.020 --> 00:36:13.320
 nations

00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:13.960
 and languages

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:14.760
 trembled

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:15.140
 in fear

00:36:15.140 --> 00:36:15.800
 before him

00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:16.360
 whom

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:17.320
 he would

00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:18.180
 he killed

00:36:18.180 --> 00:36:18.900
 and whom

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:19.460
 he would

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:19.980
 he kept

00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:20.440
 alive

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:21.040
 whom

00:36:21.040 --> 00:36:21.640
 he would

00:36:21.640 --> 00:36:22.240
 he raised

00:36:22.240 --> 00:36:22.540
 up

00:36:22.540 --> 00:36:22.880
 and whom

00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:23.340
 he would

00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:23.900
 he humbled

00:36:23.900 --> 00:36:24.740
 but when

00:36:24.740 --> 00:36:25.280
 his heart

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:25.840
 was lifted

00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:26.180
 up

00:36:26.180 --> 00:36:26.820
 and his spirit

00:36:26.820 --> 00:36:27.440
 was hardened

00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:28.220
 so that

00:36:28.220 --> 00:36:28.720
 he dealt

00:36:28.720 --> 00:36:29.300
 proudly

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:30.040
 he was brought

00:36:30.040 --> 00:36:30.600
 down from

00:36:30.600 --> 00:36:31.060
 his kingly

00:36:31.060 --> 00:36:31.400
 throne

00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:32.340
 and his glory

00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:32.820
 was taken

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:33.400
 from him

00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:34.220
 he was driven

00:36:34.220 --> 00:36:34.740
 from among

00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:35.220
 the children

00:36:35.220 --> 00:36:35.780
 of mankind

00:36:35.780 --> 00:36:36.700
 and his mind

00:36:36.700 --> 00:36:37.120
 was made

00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:37.600
 that like

00:36:37.600 --> 00:36:38.300
 like that

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:38.920
 of a beast

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.700
 and his dwelling

00:36:39.700 --> 00:36:40.560
 was with the

00:36:40.560 --> 00:36:41.380
 wild donkeys

00:36:41.380 --> 00:36:43.040
 he was fed

00:36:43.040 --> 00:36:43.580
 grass

00:36:43.580 --> 00:36:44.580
 like an ox

00:36:44.580 --> 00:36:45.140
 and his body

00:36:45.140 --> 00:36:45.680
 was wet

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:46.160
 with the dew

00:36:46.160 --> 00:36:46.600
 of heaven

00:36:46.600 --> 00:36:47.520
 until he knew

00:36:47.520 --> 00:36:48.380
 that the most

00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:49.700
 high God

00:36:49.700 --> 00:36:52.220
 rules the kingdoms

00:36:52.220 --> 00:36:53.540
 of mankind

00:36:53.540 --> 00:36:55.500
 and sets over it

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:56.100
 whom he will

00:36:56.100 --> 00:36:58.380
 and you his son

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:59.240
 Belshazzar

00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:00.500
 have not humbled

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:01.180
 your heart

00:37:01.180 --> 00:37:02.840
 though you knew

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:03.620
 all of this

00:37:03.620 --> 00:37:05.340
 but you have lifted

00:37:05.340 --> 00:37:06.160
 up yourself

00:37:06.160 --> 00:37:07.020
 against the Lord

00:37:07.020 --> 00:37:07.520
 of heaven

00:37:07.520 --> 00:37:08.440
 and the vessels

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.180
 of this house

00:37:09.180 --> 00:37:09.720
 have been brought

00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:10.560
 in before you

00:37:10.560 --> 00:37:11.460
 and you

00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:12.280
 and your lords

00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:13.080
 your wives

00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:14.040
 and your concubines

00:37:14.040 --> 00:37:15.440
 have drunk wine

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:15.980
 from them

00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:17.480
 and you have praised

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.600
 gods of silver

00:37:18.600 --> 00:37:19.340
 and gold

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:20.140
 of bronze

00:37:20.140 --> 00:37:20.840
 iron

00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:21.340
 wood

00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:22.080
 and stone

00:37:22.080 --> 00:37:23.880
 which do not see

00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:24.500
 or hear

00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:25.180
 or know

00:37:25.180 --> 00:37:27.440
 but the God

00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:28.480
 in whose hand

00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:29.880
 is your breath

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:31.460
 and whose are all

00:37:31.460 --> 00:37:32.360
 your ways

00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:33.740
 you have not honored

00:37:33.740 --> 00:37:35.780
 verse 24

00:37:35.780 --> 00:37:38.240
 then from his presence

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:39.200
 the hand was sent

00:37:39.200 --> 00:37:40.540
 and this writing

00:37:40.540 --> 00:37:41.380
 was inscribed

00:37:41.380 --> 00:37:42.500
 and this is the writing

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:44.340
 that was inscribed

00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:46.700
 mene mene

00:37:46.700 --> 00:37:47.860
 tekel

00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:49.280
 and parson

00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.800
 this is the interpretation

00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:52.700
 of the matter

00:37:52.700 --> 00:37:53.900
 mene

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:54.780
 God has numbered

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:55.860
 the days of your kingdom

00:37:55.860 --> 00:37:56.940
 and brought it to an end

00:37:56.940 --> 00:37:58.060
 tekel you have been

00:37:58.060 --> 00:37:59.140
 weighed in the balances

00:37:59.140 --> 00:38:00.160
 and found wanting

00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:02.200
 peres your kingdom

00:38:02.200 --> 00:38:03.380
 is divided

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:05.200
 and given

00:38:05.200 --> 00:38:05.940
 to the Medes

00:38:05.940 --> 00:38:06.800
 and the Persians

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.040
 then Belshazzar

00:38:09.040 --> 00:38:09.860
 gave the command

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:11.060
 and Daniel was clothed

00:38:11.060 --> 00:38:12.100
 with purple

00:38:12.100 --> 00:38:14.180
 a chain of gold

00:38:14.180 --> 00:38:15.320
 was put around his neck

00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:16.620
 and proclamation

00:38:16.620 --> 00:38:17.960
 was made about him

00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:19.160
 that he should be

00:38:19.160 --> 00:38:19.800
 the third ruler

00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:20.420
 of the kingdom

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:22.040
 well that's not

00:38:22.040 --> 00:38:22.480
 going to matter

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:23.280
 because verse 30

00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:25.180
 that very night

00:38:25.180 --> 00:38:25.920
 Belshazzar

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.680
 the Chaldean

00:38:26.680 --> 00:38:27.360
 was killed

00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:28.960
 and Darius

00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:29.440
 the Mede

00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:30.440
 received the kingdom

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:31.740
 being about

00:38:31.740 --> 00:38:32.380
 sixty

00:38:32.380 --> 00:38:33.380
 two

00:38:33.380 --> 00:38:34.700
 years

00:38:34.700 --> 00:38:35.600
 old

00:38:35.600 --> 00:38:38.000
 the folly

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:38.460
 of man

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:42.840
 the foolishness

00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:43.360
 of the world

00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.760
 and the faithfulness

00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:47.120
 to God

00:38:47.120 --> 00:38:49.320
 the faithfulness

00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:49.600
 to God

00:38:49.600 --> 00:38:51.980
 do you feel

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:52.520
 sometimes like

00:38:52.520 --> 00:38:53.020
 it's hard

00:38:53.020 --> 00:38:54.760
 to live for God

00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:55.140
 in the world

00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:55.820
 that we live in

00:38:55.820 --> 00:39:00.080
 I think sometimes

00:39:00.080 --> 00:39:00.920
 we as Christians

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.780
 we want to play

00:39:01.780 --> 00:39:03.120
 this poor pitiful

00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:03.560
 us

00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:05.520
 that it's so difficult

00:39:05.520 --> 00:39:06.540
 and it's so hard

00:39:06.540 --> 00:39:08.300
 harder than it's ever been

00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:10.340
 and here's what I would say

00:39:10.340 --> 00:39:10.740
 to you

00:39:10.740 --> 00:39:13.800
 I think it's just as hard

00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:14.720
 as it's ever been

00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:17.300
 I think every culture

00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:17.900
 of the world

00:39:17.900 --> 00:39:18.640
 is filled with the

00:39:18.640 --> 00:39:19.660
 depravity of man

00:39:19.660 --> 00:39:21.680
 every culture

00:39:21.680 --> 00:39:22.380
 of the world

00:39:22.380 --> 00:39:23.280
 is filled with the

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:24.360
 foolishness of the world

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:27.320
 and God's called us

00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:27.900
 to be the people

00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:28.440
 of faith

00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.320
 regardless if it's

00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:31.840
 Judah

00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:33.340
 Babylon

00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:34.980
 Rome

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:36.260
 or America

00:39:36.260 --> 00:39:37.420
 to stand

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:38.140
 and resolve

00:39:38.140 --> 00:39:38.700
 for him

00:39:38.700 --> 00:39:40.300
 in spite of the ways

00:39:40.300 --> 00:39:41.940
 that the culture

00:39:41.940 --> 00:39:42.840
 wants to pull us

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.340
 Daniel walks in

00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:47.700
 God lays the hammer

00:39:47.700 --> 00:39:49.820
 and Daniel says

00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:50.560
 let me explain

00:39:50.560 --> 00:39:50.920
 to you

00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:51.460
 how this hammer

00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:51.920
 just hit you

00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:52.480
 upside the head

00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.020
 what does faithfulness

00:39:55.020 --> 00:39:55.480
 look like

00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.440
 number one

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:57.540
 what does faithfulness

00:39:57.540 --> 00:39:58.340
 to God look like

00:39:58.340 --> 00:40:00.440
 number one

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:01.020
 people look to

00:40:01.020 --> 00:40:01.580
 your character

00:40:01.580 --> 00:40:03.640
 people look to

00:40:03.640 --> 00:40:04.180
 your character

00:40:04.180 --> 00:40:05.500
 I think this is

00:40:05.500 --> 00:40:05.760
 interesting

00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:06.500
 I read a guy

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:07.120
 that pointed this out

00:40:07.120 --> 00:40:07.680
 about Daniel

00:40:07.680 --> 00:40:10.440
 the queen

00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:12.500
 says to her son

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:14.760
 listen

00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.440
 there's someone

00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:18.620
 who can help you

00:40:18.620 --> 00:40:19.920
 there's someone

00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:20.700
 who can help you

00:40:20.700 --> 00:40:22.200
 he helped your

00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:22.900
 grandfather

00:40:22.900 --> 00:40:24.440
 he will help

00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:25.280
 you

00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:26.820
 she identifies him

00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:27.380
 in the same way

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:28.080
 that Nebuchadnezzar

00:40:28.080 --> 00:40:28.840
 did before faith

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:30.140
 there's very evident

00:40:30.140 --> 00:40:31.300
 of what's going on

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:32.620
 in Daniel

00:40:32.620 --> 00:40:34.020
 that people

00:40:34.020 --> 00:40:34.900
 have noticed

00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:36.080
 and here's what

00:40:36.080 --> 00:40:36.560
 she says

00:40:36.560 --> 00:40:37.600
 she says that

00:40:37.600 --> 00:40:39.120
 in him

00:40:39.120 --> 00:40:40.800
 is something

00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:43.080
 in him

00:40:43.080 --> 00:40:44.560
 is something

00:40:44.560 --> 00:40:48.740
 and then

00:40:48.740 --> 00:40:50.020
 from what's in him

00:40:50.020 --> 00:40:50.680
 something comes

00:40:50.680 --> 00:40:51.260
 from that

00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:53.820
 she says like

00:40:53.820 --> 00:40:55.120
 there's this character

00:40:55.120 --> 00:40:57.780
 that's evidently

00:40:57.780 --> 00:40:59.280
 of a God

00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.580
 that she doesn't

00:41:01.580 --> 00:41:02.360
 understand

00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:03.220
 that she can't

00:41:03.220 --> 00:41:03.740
 comprehend

00:41:03.740 --> 00:41:05.420
 but that there's

00:41:05.420 --> 00:41:06.480
 something in him

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:07.520
 and then from

00:41:07.520 --> 00:41:08.580
 what's in him

00:41:08.580 --> 00:41:09.560
 something comes

00:41:09.560 --> 00:41:10.280
 from him

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:13.480
 and what comes

00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:14.060
 from him

00:41:14.060 --> 00:41:14.740
 is light

00:41:14.740 --> 00:41:15.300
 and light

00:41:15.300 --> 00:41:16.080
 enlightenment

00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:17.420
 able to understand

00:41:17.420 --> 00:41:18.160
 the situation

00:41:18.160 --> 00:41:19.320
 these fools

00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:20.080
 don't get it

00:41:20.080 --> 00:41:20.780
 he will

00:41:20.780 --> 00:41:22.960
 what will come

00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:23.380
 from that

00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:24.400
 is understanding

00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:25.360
 and insight

00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:26.040
 from that

00:41:26.040 --> 00:41:26.820
 will be truth

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:28.080
 to be revealed

00:41:28.080 --> 00:41:30.920
 but from that truth

00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:31.380
 she says

00:41:31.380 --> 00:41:32.080
 there's wisdom

00:41:32.080 --> 00:41:32.980
 so he'll tell you

00:41:32.980 --> 00:41:33.780
 how it's applied

00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:35.740
 this is what he did

00:41:35.740 --> 00:41:36.580
 for Nebuchadnezzar

00:41:36.580 --> 00:41:37.000
 this is

00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.020
 what he

00:41:39.020 --> 00:41:40.320
 can do

00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:42.040
 for you

00:41:42.040 --> 00:41:44.320
 number one

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.140
 faithfulness

00:41:45.140 --> 00:41:46.460
 to God

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:48.140
 should result

00:41:48.140 --> 00:41:49.140
 in the character

00:41:49.140 --> 00:41:50.520
 of who you are

00:41:50.520 --> 00:41:52.720
 the people

00:41:52.720 --> 00:41:53.220
 that we're

00:41:53.220 --> 00:41:53.840
 around

00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:55.320
 should know

00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:56.500
 not just

00:41:56.500 --> 00:41:56.980
 that we're

00:41:56.980 --> 00:41:57.620
 different

00:41:57.620 --> 00:41:59.960
 I think

00:41:59.960 --> 00:42:00.280
 it's kind of

00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:00.660
 cool now

00:42:00.660 --> 00:42:01.280
 to be weird

00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:03.300
 not just

00:42:03.300 --> 00:42:03.780
 that you're

00:42:03.780 --> 00:42:04.200
 weird

00:42:04.200 --> 00:42:05.160
 that you're

00:42:05.160 --> 00:42:05.760
 different

00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:07.660
 that you're

00:42:07.660 --> 00:42:08.020
 weird

00:42:08.020 --> 00:42:08.580
 that you're

00:42:08.580 --> 00:42:09.160
 different

00:42:09.160 --> 00:42:10.380
 because of

00:42:10.380 --> 00:42:11.340
 who he is

00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:12.740
 there's a

00:42:12.740 --> 00:42:13.920
 divine working

00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:14.960
 that's working

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:15.840
 on your heart

00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:16.800
 that even

00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:17.680
 lost people

00:42:17.680 --> 00:42:18.580
 can see it

00:42:18.580 --> 00:42:20.360
 number two

00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:21.100
 what does

00:42:21.100 --> 00:42:22.700
 faithfulness

00:42:22.700 --> 00:42:23.060
 to God

00:42:23.060 --> 00:42:23.580
 look like

00:42:23.580 --> 00:42:24.940
 to be a

00:42:24.940 --> 00:42:25.480
 person who

00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:26.280
 influences

00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:28.240
 without

00:42:28.240 --> 00:42:29.060
 being

00:42:29.060 --> 00:42:30.040
 influenced

00:42:30.040 --> 00:42:36.320
 the party's

00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:36.760
 happening

00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:39.180
 there's

00:42:39.180 --> 00:42:40.020
 thousand

00:42:40.020 --> 00:42:41.020
 lords

00:42:41.020 --> 00:42:41.220
 who

00:42:41.220 --> 00:42:41.680
 are there

00:42:41.680 --> 00:42:45.420
 there's

00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:45.880
 wine

00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:46.220
 it's the

00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:46.700
 king's

00:42:46.700 --> 00:42:47.100
 wine

00:42:47.100 --> 00:42:48.020
 it's the

00:42:48.020 --> 00:42:48.380
 best

00:42:48.380 --> 00:42:48.960
 wine

00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:49.700
 it's

00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:50.060
 free

00:42:50.060 --> 00:42:50.460
 flowing

00:42:50.460 --> 00:42:51.200
 wine

00:42:51.200 --> 00:42:55.920
 there's

00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:56.940
 prostitutes

00:42:56.940 --> 00:42:59.220
 there's

00:42:59.220 --> 00:43:00.020
 immorality

00:43:00.020 --> 00:43:02.080
 and

00:43:02.080 --> 00:43:02.500
 whatever

00:43:02.500 --> 00:43:03.420
 goes

00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:05.000
 goes

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:09.520
 where's

00:43:09.520 --> 00:43:10.000
 Daniel

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.500
 we don't

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:14.900
 know

00:43:14.900 --> 00:43:17.240
 but we

00:43:17.240 --> 00:43:17.480
 know

00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:17.760
 he's

00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:18.000
 not

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:18.360
 there

00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:20.880
 we

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:21.120
 know

00:43:21.120 --> 00:43:21.380
 he's

00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:21.600
 not

00:43:21.600 --> 00:43:21.960
 there

00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:22.960
 tell me

00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:23.180
 about

00:43:23.180 --> 00:43:23.380
 the

00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:23.920
 remarkable

00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:24.520
 aspect

00:43:24.520 --> 00:43:24.960
 of

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:25.400
 that

00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:26.260
 testimony

00:43:26.260 --> 00:43:27.900
 that

00:43:27.900 --> 00:43:28.100
 the

00:43:28.100 --> 00:43:28.500
 people

00:43:28.500 --> 00:43:28.820
 who

00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:29.180
 are

00:43:29.180 --> 00:43:29.800
 there

00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:31.380
 they're

00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:31.620
 like

00:43:31.620 --> 00:43:31.940
 let's

00:43:31.940 --> 00:43:32.240
 call

00:43:32.240 --> 00:43:32.460
 the

00:43:32.460 --> 00:43:32.700
 one

00:43:32.700 --> 00:43:33.000
 guy

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:33.320
 who's

00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:33.620
 not

00:43:33.620 --> 00:43:33.920
 here

00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:35.200
 and

00:43:35.200 --> 00:43:35.500
 let's

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:35.720
 get

00:43:35.720 --> 00:43:35.860
 him

00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:36.180
 here

00:43:36.180 --> 00:43:37.960
 so

00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:38.120
 that

00:43:38.120 --> 00:43:38.280
 he

00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:38.460
 can

00:43:38.460 --> 00:43:38.740
 speak

00:43:38.740 --> 00:43:39.400
 truth

00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:40.500
 so

00:43:40.500 --> 00:43:40.660
 that

00:43:40.660 --> 00:43:40.820
 he

00:43:40.820 --> 00:43:41.020
 can

00:43:41.020 --> 00:43:41.480
 speak

00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:42.420
 influence

00:43:42.420 --> 00:43:42.680
 into

00:43:42.680 --> 00:43:42.900
 this

00:43:42.900 --> 00:43:43.480
 situation

00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:44.520
 you see

00:43:44.520 --> 00:43:45.060
 Daniel

00:43:45.060 --> 00:43:45.980
 was a

00:43:45.980 --> 00:43:46.360
 person

00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:46.600
 of

00:43:46.600 --> 00:43:47.060
 influence

00:43:47.060 --> 00:43:47.660
 right hand

00:43:47.660 --> 00:43:47.800
 of

00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:48.460
 Nebuchadnezzar

00:43:48.460 --> 00:43:49.740
 the prime

00:43:49.740 --> 00:43:50.220
 minister
