first we recap so last week we uh what did we talk about I [02:39] got to remind myself what we darn talked about last week last week what we talk [02:46] about last week brother the Shepherds yeah we read we read in [02:51] Ezekiel read about the Shepherds right the Shepherds was uh you know what I'm saying the shepherd got to [02:57] lead the people properly right and we follow people we follow like [03:03] sheep right most high God was upset with the shepherd because the Shepherds took care of their sself they ate but they [03:09] gave everybody else the Muddy Waters ain't that what he told us yeah he told [03:14] us they he gave he gave everybody else the muddy muddy waters and that's what happen with the leadership what else we [03:19] talk about read Lamentations we didn't read lamentation [03:26] last week did we yeah we did I feel like that was too week ago all right but yeah we uh then that [03:33] means we read Lamentations and we read Obadiah right we read about the the [03:38] right and how how Edom stood and they Watchers get taken up and they was happy about it they were saying [03:44] raise it raise it right they saying go ahead take them boys right they was cheering them on when when when they [03:50] were uh when they were taking us down right our people didn't like that [03:56] right most high God didn't like that so he told Eden he told the uh remember he told the he was like listen if [04:02] somebody steal from you won't they take till they got enough right he said listen if somebody take all the grapes [04:09] out of the field right if you go gather all the grapes out of the field won't you at least leave some grapes he said [04:16] but no with the it ain't gonna be like that with y'all he said he's not gonna leave no one right he ain't [04:24] leaving anybody all right so that's what it's all about we going to look at it uh [04:30] I want well before we before we go any further let's kind of recap where we are right now right [04:36] so we know that zedekiah King zedekiah right was being being counseled somewhat [04:43] by by Jeremiah the prophet right so Jeremiah the prophet was talking to zedekiah but zedekiah was in a place [04:50] where he didn't want to follow the most high God all the way right it was a lot of pressure from the people he in the [04:56] middle of a war he's the king he's responsible for this Jeremiah is telling him give himself over to the king of [05:03] Babylon right zedekiah is looking like man my people ain't going to go for that foolishness so he locked he locked [05:09] Jeremiah up eventually the king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar at this time came [05:16] took zedekiah destroyed our Temple right got the majority of our people and moved [05:22] them into Babylon right so then the only people left here was the poor [05:30] so then Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon set up Galia right and we only [05:37] read a little bit about galiah we didn't look at we didn't look at the whole story of galiah uh brother T told y'all [05:42] y'all can read that in Jeremiah I think it's like Jeremiah 4041 somewhere around there we to start telling you about [05:48] Galia but uh the short version of of what we read for Galia is that a man [05:55] named Ishmael came up and he set Galah up and killed build right and a lot of [06:02] the people were a little bit you know what I'm saying nervous about staying [06:08] under staying in the land because of uh the king of Babylon right so you can read more about that with Jeremiah so [06:16] galiah ends up dying right we read about Ezekiel he gets word that the temple is [06:22] destroyed right read that and then a little while ago we kind of did it out of order but a little little while ago [06:29] we read about how Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind remember that when we talk about Nebuchadnezzar he he he wrote a [06:35] letter this is uh Daniel chapter 4 he wrote a letter and he talking about how he lost his mind he was running around [06:41] like the animals right he was running around in the field like a huh yeah you know what I'm saying [06:47] running around like an animal and all of a sudden after seven years I think it was he looked up and he most high God [06:54] restored his mind and he started to serve God right so that was Nebuchadnezzar so that brought us to the [07:00] end of Nebuchadnezzar's Reign right did we read about uh evil [07:07] motorok no just whatever it told us in uh uh I don't know if it was Kings but [07:13] we just yeah like where he brought Janiah back or yeah we touched it a [07:18] little bit well let's let's grab it real quick I think it's what Kings 25 Second [07:24] Kings 25 it's short I don't know where it's at in there it should be towards the end [07:31] though second Kings chapter 25 maybe verse I don't know maybe it's verse [07:44] 25 if anybody know how I can order these by the case load for a decent price let me [07:57] know all right this is on a permanent subscription you know [08:02] what I'm talking about goodness gracious I love the peace s [08:09] Sharon Second Kings 2527 so this is second Kings chapter 25 [08:16] verse 27 watch what the book [08:21] say and it came to pass in the seven and 13th year of the Captivity of jeho king [08:27] of Judah in the 12th month on the seven and 20th day of the month that evil morodo king of [08:33] Babylon right so this is the king of Babylon that came after Nebuchadnezzar so at this point Nebuchadnezzar had [08:40] already gone crazy and stopped being King so evil morodo he's the one who [08:46] takes over and let's see what he does in the year that he began to Reign did did [08:52] lift up the head of jein king of Judah out of prison and he spake kindly to him [08:58] and said set him a throne above the Throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon and changed his prison [09:06] garments and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life and his allowance was a [09:12] continual allowance given him of the king a daily rate for every day all the days of his [09:19] life right so even morard he ended up taking care of jeho that was all according to [09:25] Jeremiah's prophecy also so that puts us at about this time frame right here so [09:32] now if we look at this time frame just visually there's only two prophets that's around at this point it's Ezekiel [09:38] it's the very end of Ezekiel right and you have Daniel so there's still more Ezekiel [09:46] that we can read but we not going to touch it we probably won't touch that part those parts of Ezekiel until we get [09:52] to uh Revelations right so we going to we going to continue on with Daniel and [09:58] we going to look at some very important prophecies from Daniel so let's look at [10:04] uh Daniel chapter give me Daniel chapters uh Daniel chapter [10:28] 7 in the first year of b shazar king of [10:33] Babylon Daniel had a dream in visions of of his head upon his [10:39] bed then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters the first year of who [10:45] the first year of Bel belshazzar king of Babylon right so this is another king of [10:51] Babylon that came after evil morodok right this Nebuchadnezzar evil [10:58] morodok there some people in between technically and then you have um Bel [11:04] Shazer right let's keep going Daniel spake and said I saw in my [11:11] vision by night and behold what is it Daniel chapter this Daniel chapter 7 verse what [11:17] 3 is Daniel chapter 7 verse3 Daniel spake and said I saw in my [11:24] vision by night and behold the Four Winds of the heavens strove upon the Great Sea and four great beasts came up [11:30] from the sea diverse one from another put that Barbie down boy the he said he said four great beasts came up [11:39] what the Four Winds of heaven and strove upon a great sea and four great beasts [11:44] came up from the sea diverse from one another the first was like a lion and [11:50] had Eagle wings I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked and it was lifted [11:56] up from the earth and made stand upon the the feet as a man and made stand [12:02] upon the feet as a man and a man's heart was given to it right so notice what [12:07] he's describing he said the first one was a like a lion he said that thing was [12:12] made to stand up like a man and a man's heart was given to it right keep that in mind keep going [12:21] and behold another Beast a second like to a bear and it raised up itself on one [12:27] side and it had three ribs in his mouth of it between the teeth of it right then [12:33] you had a bear that was raised up on one side let's see keep [12:39] going and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it and they [12:45] said thus unto it arise devour much flesh after this I beheld and lo another [12:52] like a leopard which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl and the Beast [12:58] had also fore heads and Dominion was given to it after this I saw in the [13:03] night visions and behold a fourth Beast Dreadful and terrible and strong [13:09] exceedingly and it had great iron teeth it devoured in Breaking pieces and stamped the residue with the feet of it [13:16] and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it and it had 10 horns I considered the horns and behold [13:23] there came up among them another little horn before whom there were three of the [13:28] first horns plucked up by the roots and behold in this horn were eyes like the [13:34] eyes of man and a mouth speaking great things I beheld till the Thrones were [13:39] cast down and the Ancient of Days did sit whose garment was white as snow and [13:45] the hair of his head was like pure wool his throne was like the fiery flame and the wheels were burning as fire the FY [13:53] stream issued and came forth from be before him thousands of thousands ministered unto him and 10,000 times [13:59] 10,000 stood before him the Judgment was set and the books were open behold then [14:05] because of the voice of the great words which were which the horn spake I beheld even till the Beast was slain and his [14:12] body destroyed and given to the Burning Flame as concerning the rest of the Beast they had their Dominion taken away [14:19] yet their lives were prolonged for a season in time I saw in the night one [14:24] Beast pay attention to what just happened right you had his Beast the most terrible all the Beast it had horns [14:30] coming out and in the days of that horn the Ancient of Days came and that Beast [14:36] got destroyed but then the other Beast kept [14:42] going right read that part again when we get the revelations we G [14:49] we gonna break a lot of this stuff down I considered the horns and behold [14:54] there came up among them another little horn before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots and [15:01] behold in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great [15:07] things I beheld till the Thrones were cast down and the Ancient of Days did sit whose garment was white as snow and [15:13] the hair of his head was like pure wool his throne was like the fiery flame and the wheels is Wheels as burning fire a [15:21] fiery stream issued and came forth before him thousands of thousands ministered unto him and 10,000 times [15:27] 10,000 stood before him the Judgment was set and the books were open I beheld [15:32] then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake I beheld even till the Beast was slain and his body [15:38] destroyed and given to the Burning Flame and considering and concerning the rest of the beasts they had their Dominion [15:44] taken away yet their lives were prolonged for a season in time I saw in the night visions and behold one like [15:50] the son of man came with the clouds of heaven and came to the Ancient of Days and they brought him near before him and [15:57] there was given him Dominion and glory and Kingdom that all people Nations and languages should serve him this Dominion [16:04] is an everlasting Dominion which shall not pass away his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed right so when we [16:11] see this Vision this is Daniel's Vision talking about one like the son of man right so if you ever read the gospel [16:19] right and you read about yahushua and you see he always references itself as the son of man the son of man the son of [16:25] man the son of man this is what this is what he's referencing right it's important to understand that [16:32] like he not just calling himself son of man just because he feel like calling himself son of man he's saying son of man because anybody who's listening who [16:39] know the scriptures would know what he's saying is I'm that guy who's gonna pop up on the [16:46] clouds right that's what he's trying to tie back to that's what he's trying to remind everybody of like yo y'all remember when Daniel was talking about [16:52] that son of man that came in the clouds that's me right so he's saying son of man son [16:59] of man son of man just like this says keep going I Daniel was grieved in my spirit [17:06] in the midst of my body and the visions of my head troubled me I came near unto [17:11] one of them that stood by and asked him of the truth of all this so he told me and made me know the interpretation of [17:18] the things so now somebody gonna interpret it for us right watch this these great beasts which are four [17:25] are Four Kings which shall arise out of the Earth but the Saints of the most high shall [17:31] take the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever even forever and ever then I [17:36] would know the truth of the four Beast the fourth Beast which was diverse from all the others exceedingly Dreadful [17:42] whose teeth were of iron and his Na and his nails of brass which devoured breaking pieces and stamped the residue [17:48] with his feet and of the T horns that were in his head and of the other which came up and [17:55] before whom three fell even of that horn that had had eyes and a mouth that spake [18:00] great things whose look was more Stout than his fellows I beheld and the same [18:06] horn made war with the Saints and prevailed against them until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was given to [18:13] the Saints of the most high and the time came that the Saints possessed the kingdom thus he said the fourth Beast [18:21] shall be the fourth Kingdom upon the Earth which shall which is shall be diverse from all kingdoms and shall [18:27] devour the whole earth and shall tread it down and break it in pieces and the T horns out of his kingdom are 10 kings [18:34] that shall arise and another shall rise after them and he shall be diverse from [18:39] the first and he shall subdue three kings and he shall speak great words against the most high and shall war and [18:46] shall wear out the Saints of the most high and think to change times and laws [18:51] and they shall be given into his hand until the time in the times of the dividing of [18:57] time until a time in times and the dividing of time but the Judgment shall [19:03] sit and they shall take away his Dominion to consume and destroy it unto the the end and the kingdom and dominion [19:10] and the greatness of the Kingdom Under the whole Heaven shall be given to the people of the Saints of the most high [19:17] whose kingdom is Everlasting and an everlasting Kingdom in all Dominion Shall Serve and Obey him hither to is [19:23] the end of the matter as for me Daniel my my [19:30] agitations much troubled me and my countenance changed in me but I kept the matter to Heart All right so he said I [19:37] kept I kept that thing to myself he is like but that thing man that thing messed me up right because he's looking [19:45] he's like I see this vision of these these four beasts and the last one was a [19:51] dreadful terrible Beast right and then this this man he [19:57] come and tell him about like yo this is what this mean man it's all these beast is just Kings when it say Kings is [20:03] really thinking think of it as we think of the Empire it's not talking about one person that's why when he mentioned the [20:08] last King quote unquote King he said that there were 10 kings that came out of that one he's talking about an Empire [20:15] right he's talking about a kingdom right so he's saying these are these are all these what we would consider Empires [20:21] right and then the last one got these kings that come of it and then one king [20:26] subdue three kings and he makes some terrible stuff happen like what in the world is going on he trying to figure it [20:32] out right but ultimately the Saints take over the Saints is the ones that get it so this is kind of for those that was on [20:38] the fellowship call last week this is this is this is the same topic that we was talking about when we were talking [20:44] about how yahaw wasua gonna come on the clouds we actually referenced one part of this right so it's it's the same type [20:51] of subject you know what I'm saying we went a little deeper than we about to go now but I just want y'all to be aware [20:56] because we're going to touch back on on this whenever we get to Revelations it's a lot of stuff we going to come pick back up I want to go over this one now [21:03] some stuff I'm skipping because I know we going to talk about it with Revelations but I want to talk about this one now just because the imagery is [21:10] so strong and it's G to help us when we get to the gospel right a lot of this stuff is going to help us in the gospel [21:16] knowing what Kings or kingdoms are in place that's going to help us keep going in the uh chapter a chapter 8 this is uh [21:22] Daniel chapter 8 verse one [21:29] in the third year of the reign of King B shazar A Vision appeared unto me even unto me Daniel after that which appeared [21:36] unto me at the first and I saw in a vision and it came to pass when I saw that it was I was in shushan in the [21:43] palace which is the province of Elum and I saw in a vision and I was by the river [21:49] hold on right there you said he said he was where in shushan in the palace hold [21:55] that go to Esther let me see where she was it's Esther 1 verse one it's the same [22:14] [Music] place I just want y'all to see that all this stuff is kind of happening it's [22:21] it's a bunch of stuff happening around the same time same folks uh uh different [22:26] folks involved but it's the same stuff happening around our our things are happening around the same time period in [22:32] the same places so shushan is way off it's far [22:39] away from our land very far from our land right but our people are in [22:44] captivity right and Daniel was one of them but remember Daniel got a little bit of prestige from uh [22:52] Nebuchadnezzar right so he get to move around a little bit so he's in shushan [22:57] and look at es this is Esther chap 1 verse [23:05] one now came to pass in the days of aerus this is aerus which reigned from [23:11] India even unto Ethiopia over 107 and 20 provinces 127 [23:18] prophecies that in those days when the king of hus sat on the throne of his kingdom which is in shushan the palace [23:25] right so he was in shushan right right so this is a this is a little bit later [23:30] than what we reading from Daniel right but you'll see that this is the same place at Daniel so we gonna get to [23:37] Esther later we a little bit before Esther time right but you'll see that Daniel's in the same place that you know [23:43] the events that we talk about es like we just celebrated purum last week or earlier this week rather right we just [23:49] celebrated purum so with with with purum that's where we get it from is the Book of Esther right so let's go back this is [23:56] Daniel chapter 8 well we at verse probably [24:06] three then I lifted up my eyes and saw and behold there stood before the river a ram which had two horns and two horns [24:14] were high but one was higher than the other and the higher came up [24:22] last I saw the ram pushing Westward and northward and Southward so that no Beast [24:28] might stand before him neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand but he did according to his will and [24:34] became great and I you had Ram that had two horns one was higher than the [24:42] other right that's similar to The Bear right that was lifted up on one [24:48] side right then what else [24:53] happened and as I was considering Behold a heo came from the West on the face of [24:58] the whole earth and touched not the ground and the Goat had no a notable horn between his [25:05] eyes and he came to the ram that had two horns which I had seen standing before [25:10] the river and ran unto him in the fury of his power and I saw him come close [25:15] unto the RAM and he was moved with Coler against him and smokee the RAM and break [25:21] his two horns and there was no power in the ram to to stand before him but he [25:27] cast him down to the ground and stamped upon him and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand so now [25:34] you have a ram that got taken down you got a ram had two horns one higher than [25:40] the other then you got a goat that took that Ram down and he only had one horn a [25:46] no a notable horn though right but watch what happens to that notable horn keep [25:56] going therefore the heig goat waxed very great and when he was strong the Great [26:01] Horn was broken and for it came up for and and for it came up four notable ones [26:08] toward the Four Winds of heaven and out of the one of them came four of fourth a [26:14] little hor which weding so now that's that's very similar to what we read [26:19] about the leopard right the leopard in the last one he had four [26:25] heads right so keep [26:32] going and he waxs exceedingly great toward the South toward the East and toward the pleasant land and it waxed [26:38] great even the host of heaven and it cast down some of the host and the stars to the ground and stamped upon [26:45] them that's very important right we gonna read about that later also right so you had this horn that cast down even [26:54] the stars of heaven right very important we got to understand what that means but this when [27:02] when when we understand what this Vision when this vision is taking place and what people this is then we understand [27:09] the timing of that event right when the horn cast down the stars of Heaven keep [27:17] going yay he magnified himself even to the prince of the host and by him the [27:23] daily sacrifice was taken away and the place of his sanctuary was cast down and [27:29] the host was given him against the daily Sacrifice by reason of transgression and it and it cast down the truth to the [27:35] ground and it practiced and prospered then I heard one Saint [27:42] speaking and another Saint said unto that certain Saint which spake how long shall the vision be concerning the daily [27:49] sacrifice the transgression of desolation to give both the sanctuary and the host to be troden underfoot and [27:56] he said unto me until 2,300 days then shall the sanctuary be [28:03] cleansed and it came to pass when I even I Daniel had seen the vision and sought [28:10] for the meaning then behold there stood before me as an appearance of a man and I heard a man's voice between the banks [28:17] of Uli which called and said Gabriel make this man to understand the vision [28:22] so he came near Where I Stood and when he came I was afraid and fell upon my face but he said to me understand oh son [28:29] of man for at the time of the end shall be the vision now so he saying [28:34] understand oh son of man this vision is GNA be at the time of the end in other words this is going to be end times [28:41] watch this now as he was speaking with me I [28:47] was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground but he touched me and set me upright and he said behold I will make [28:53] thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation for all the time appointed the end shall [29:00] be the ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of media and Persia [29:06] the rough goat is the king of Grecia and the Great Horn that is between his eyes is the first king right so now we know [29:15] that the the ram represented media and Persia as one unit right two different [29:23] nations kind of combined together working against each other but working together this actually happened [29:29] throughout history this is talking about media in Persia right so today media and [29:35] Persia would be you know the uh Iran area you know like uh they saying right [29:42] now Iran is teaming up with the different folks the Iran area and probably like the Armenia area if you [29:49] were to look on the map and you find Iran and you find Armenia and Northern Turkey right uh like Northeast turkey [29:58] right that's going to be the the the area of people that we talking about right now right but two very different [30:05] types of people right so media if you remember if you if we went all the way [30:10] back to Genesis chapter 10 we don't have to right now but if we went all the way back to Genesis chapter 10 media is [30:19] um is uh Jeet right and then Persia comes from [30:26] shim right so two very different people however these people were [30:32] intermingled right keep [30:39] going s p sister PMA now that being broken where as four stood up for it [30:44] four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation but no not in his power and in [30:50] the latter time of their Kingdom when the transgressions are come to the full a king of fierce countenance and [30:56] understanding dark sentence shall shall stand up so now pay pay very close [31:01] attention when the time has come from the to a full at the end time right what [31:07] what nation of people are we talking about right now Greece right we talking about yavon or Greece right it's called [31:14] it's translated in the book as Greece but it's actually more broad than what we would see Greece as today right it's [31:20] talking about the people of yavon right so the people of yavon come from Jeth as well [31:28] right Gentiles and he said these people of yavon this would be yavon would kind [31:33] of capture the area of Greece Turkey [31:39] um and uh some of the islands that's right off of turkey like those area [31:44] probably a little Italy all that right it's going to be those areas right so [31:49] it's say it's telling you that in the end time it's going to be a little horn [31:56] that come comes from Greece or yavon right and that's going to be a bad [32:02] boy he going to understand dark sentences the book say keep going watch this and his power shall be Mighty but [32:09] not by his own power and he shall destroy wonderfully and shall prosper and practice and shall destroy and [32:16] practice and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people and through his policy also he shall cause craft to [32:24] prosper in his hand and he shall magnify himself in his heart and by peace shall [32:29] destroy many he shall also stand up against the prince of princes but he shall be broken without hand and the [32:36] vision of this evening of this evening and the morning which was told is true [32:41] wherefore shut up the vision for it shall be for many days iel a couple key [32:47] things that we should note on to right there one he's gonna destroy people through [32:53] peace right so through peace he is going to destroy people right we going to read [32:58] about that another key thing is he will have power but not of his [33:03] own right all these are ideas that we gonna read we gonna see about when we get to Revelation so I want y'all to [33:10] kind of latch on to it and then lastly he himself is going to go up against the [33:16] prince of princes talking about yahushua right the ruler of rulers when [33:21] we say prince he's saying he G he himself is gonna go up against the ruler of rulers right so he's going to go [33:28] head-to-head with yahua right or try to right so last week when we talk uh [33:35] yeah last week on uh the fellowship call when we talked about the uh son of man [33:41] coming on the clouds talked about how the son of man there's somebody who riled up all the nations to fight [33:47] against him right and there's gonna be one guy this this is who it's talking [33:53] about right one guy that ended up rling everybody up he gonna try to go head to-head with him and he gonna [34:00] lose right but notice that he comes out of yavon or Greece right that is that is [34:07] very important for us to understand so let's get um let's kind of look at some [34:13] imagery of of what we just talked about right y'all remember when we read Daniel [34:18] chapter 2 y'all probably don't remember so I'mma try to remind y'all we got [34:23] Daniel chapter 2 here y'all remember the vision that Daniel [34:29] had in Daniel chapter 2 where he saw he saw this image he told Nebuchadnezzar he had an image and it had a gold head [34:38] right it had a a silver breastplate all right then he told him he had you know what I'm saying his uh [34:44] his belly was bronze all [34:53] right and as things kept going going you had iron legs [35:03] yeah he had iron legs and after the iron legs he had feet of uh he had feet of [35:11] clay right clay and iron kind of mixed [35:19] together and Daniel gave an interpretation of that right and he said [35:25] the first Kingdom was Nebuchadnezzar he said greatest of all right he didn't [35:31] name the other kingdoms but he said then it's going to be a kingdom after you and a kingdom after that and a kingdom after [35:37] that and he talked about all the different kingdoms so now we G to take what we just learned right because the [35:43] the the man that Daniel was talking to that the most high God sent revealed [35:50] some of it right so what he revealed let me put this on the screen for y'all [35:57] so what he revealed [36:03] is he's confirmed uh two things for us right he [36:10] confirmed the ram was the mes and the Persians and he [36:15] confirmed the heot was Greece right so these two and when we [36:22] say Greece again it's yavon in actuality the hego represented Macedonia right [36:28] because it's talking about Alexander the Great right what it's describing is talking about Alexander the Great if you [36:34] look in history Alexander the greaty after he died um his kingdom got split [36:40] up the four different groups of people so that's the that's the four horns that came after and those four horns go away [36:47] and then it's one notable horn that comes up after him that's the one that's in the end times right so we'll talk [36:54] about how that ends up playing out also but if we look at it we have the mes and [36:59] the Persians right that lines up with the RAM and we have Greece that lines up [37:06] with the heigo right we need to fill some gaps though because we know this first head is [37:13] Nebuchadnezzar right so then if we look at the RAM and we know the Ram comes [37:18] after the goat right then we got to look at the similarities between what was [37:24] described if we looked at chapter 7 if you remember there was a bear and remember that bear it was lifted up on [37:31] one side just like the ram had a horn that was higher than the other so what [37:37] if that bear is also the mes and Persians from chapter 7 and then you [37:42] remember we had the lion in chapter 7 and The Lion it said the lion had wings [37:47] and it stood up like a man and it was given a man's heart well the first thing [37:53] in the Statue from Nebuchadnezzar was the gold and and we confirm that was Nebuchadnezzar that was Babylon so what [38:00] do we know about Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar went crazy he is out there with the animals right then he [38:07] looked up and the most high God restored him and he ended up serving the most high God so you could say a beast was [38:14] given a man's heart right so let's say that lion represents [38:20] Nebuchadnezzar let's say the bear represents the mes and the Persians that [38:26] means right after the NES and the Persians has to be the the the uh heigo right so the equivalent in that vision [38:32] would have been the leopard and it had four heads right just like the heigo had four horns at one point so then lastly [38:41] you have this this monstrosity that we learned about in Daniel 7 right so what [38:49] came after in terms of History what comes after Greece the Empire that came after Greece was Rome right so then [38:59] after Rome you had a great split right you had a bunch of stuff split so after [39:04] Rome technically it got split into multiple ways but you had the Ottoman Empire right and then from the Ottoman [39:12] Empire um you you had the Ottoman Empire and then you also had the uh the uh the [39:18] the remnants of of the Roman Empire right and that's what kind of we deal with that's what leads into um a America [39:26] that's what leads into a lot of other stuff that we deal with today so if we look at this we say the order [39:34] is Babylon mes and Persians Greece or [39:40] yavon the Romans and you deal with some of you know at that point what we would [39:46] have kind of considered the future stuff it's important that we understand this because the Romans are in control when [39:54] yahushua comes in on the scene and there are some Concepts that we just talked about that that yashua is going [40:03] to talk about right one of the things that that uh Daniel just talked about was an [40:09] Abomination right something that's gonna be made desolate he's gonna mention it again as well right but this is a [40:16] concept that yahushua is also gonna latch on to these are all prophecies that yahu is going latch on to and I [40:22] want y'all to be aware of it when we read it right let's uh let's go to [40:27] Daniel chapter [40:44] 5 it's Daniel chapter 5 give me verse [40:52] one belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his Lords and drank wine before 10 before the [41:01] Thousand bazer while he tasted the wine commanded to bring the gold and silver [41:07] vessels which the which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in [41:14] Jerusalem that the king and his princes his wives and his concubines might drink [41:21] therein then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the Temple of the house of God which which [41:26] was at Jerusalem and the King and his princes his wives and his concubines Drank in [41:33] them they drank wine and praised the gods of gold and of silver and brass and of iron and wood and of stone in the [41:40] same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote over against the Candlestick upon the plaster of the wall [41:47] of the king's Palace the king saw the part of the hand that wrote and the King's countenance was changed and his [41:53] thoughts troubled him so that the joy you got to take into it they having a party they enjoying theel everybody [42:00] chilling they getting drunk then all of a sudden a man's hand comes out and [42:06] starts writing on the darn wall the king can see this happening so he's troubled [42:11] by he's looking like what in the world he probably think I drank too much he think he going crazy like what in the [42:17] world am but it's right and they can see it watch this keep going and the King's [42:22] countenance was changed and his thoughts troubled him so that his joint joints the joints of his LS were loosed and his [42:29] knees smoked one against another the king cried aloud get the imagery now [42:34] just like any horror movie y'all seen Paranormal Activity and all that that's what he's [42:40] experiencing right so he's looking they partying they having fun he got a group of people there everybody drinking wine [42:47] then all of a sudden the hand pop out and just start riding on the wall it's just a hand you look at it like book say [42:53] a man's hand so it's just a hand and it just start writing on the wall boom boom boom boom boom right King See It Books [43:01] say his countenance Chang right so that means his face changed his face went from like it went from hey say how you [43:08] doing that's my boy there give me a dram let's talk oh oh shot a clock right then [43:15] it went to all of a sudden what you know what I'm saying he [43:20] started looking at it cuz it's writing it's just a hand then the book say his loins was loose [43:26] you know what that mean man about ready to pee on his darn self right he can't hold himself no more [43:33] he about to poop his darn self right that's what the book is talking about when it say his loin is Lop he can't [43:39] hold himself no more then all of a sudden his his knees start clapping together like this so just kind of like [43:46] how we see on the C he's shaking he's shivering that's how afraid this man is [43:52] Right watch this keep going then the king cried aloud to bring the [43:59] astrologers the calans and the suiters and the King spake and said to the wise men of Babylon whosoever shall read this [44:07] writing and show me the interpretation thereof shall be clothed with scarlet and a chain of gold about his neck and [44:12] shall be the third ruler of the Kingdom right so he said listen if anybody can tell me what this thing mean not only am [44:20] I'mma make sure you look good you gonna be the third ruler in other words [44:26] it's going to be me one person under me and then you when it come to making [44:32] decisions right keep going then came all the king's wise men but they could not [44:38] read the writing and make known to the king the interpretation thereof then was the K Bel the shazzar greatly troubled [44:43] and his countenance was changed in him and his loins were astonished now the Queen by reason of the words of the king [44:51] and his Lords came to the banquet house the queen spake and saidoh King [44:56] live forever let not thy thoughts trouble thee nor let thy countenance be chained there is a man in thy kingdom in [45:02] whom the spirit of the Holy gods and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom [45:08] of the Gods was found in him whom the King Nebuchadnezzar thy father the king is say thy father made [45:15] Master Of The Magicians astrologers calans and susers for as much as an excellent [45:21] spirit in knowledge and understanding interprets of dreams and showing of hard sent es and dissolving of doubts were [45:28] found in the same Daniel whom the king named belto shazar now let Daniel be [45:34] called and he will show the interpretation right so now the queen came and told him like yo yo yo don't [45:40] freak out too bad because he nervous he scared he looking like don't nobody know what this mean what this hand is writing it's a message what could it mean I'mma [45:47] die he's he's freaking out right so the Queen's like relax relax relax I'm sure it's somebody who could do it because [45:53] your your your father when he say his father is like y you know what I'm saying your ancestor talking about [45:58] Nebuchadnezzar because Nebuchadnezzar was a little bit before him right so your ancestor [46:04] Nebuchadnezzar he can like he he had somebody in the Kingdom that taught him these things and that man is still alive [46:11] so Daniel is old now right but he's like man that man is still alive let me look [46:18] Daniel will tell you what this writing is because he got the spirit of the Holy Gods is what she how she referred to it [46:24] right watch this then was Daniel brought in before the king and the King spake and said unto Daniel are you that Daniel [46:31] which are of the children of the Captivity of Judah whom the king my father brought out of [46:38] jewelry I have even heard of thee that the spirit of the Gods is in thee and that light and understanding and [46:43] excellent wisdom is found in thee and now the wise men the astrologers have [46:49] been brought in before me and they could and they should that they should read this writing and make known to me the interpretation thereof but they could [46:55] not not show me the interpretation of the thing and I have heard of thee that thou came that thou can make [47:02] interpretations and dissolve doubts now if you can read the writing and make known to the interpretation thereof you [47:07] shall be clothed with scarlet and have a chain of gold about thy neck and shall be the third ruler in the Kingdom watch [47:15] this then Daniel answered and said before the king let thy gifts be to [47:20] thyself and give thy reward he said listen I don't want your gifts right Dan said listen listen I don't want your [47:26] gifts keep your gifts right when he say let thy gifts be to yourself that's same thing is saying keep your stuff man [47:32] right watch this keep going give thy rewards to another yet I will read the writing unto the king and make known to [47:38] him the interpretation oh Thou King the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father [47:43] a kingdom and majesty and glory and honor and for the Majesty that he gave him all people Nations language and [47:50] trembled and feared before him whom he whom he would whom he would he slew and [47:56] whom he would he kept alive and whom he would he set up and whom he would he put [48:01] down but when his heart was lifted up and his mind hardened in Pride he was [48:06] deposed from his kingly throne and they took his glory from him and he was [48:12] driven from the sons of men and his heart was made like a beast and his dwelling was like the wild donkeys they [48:19] fed him with grass like oxen and his body was wet with the Dew of Heaven till he knew that the most high God ruled in [48:26] the Kingdom of men and that he appointed over it whomsoever he will and you his [48:32] son o belshazzar has not humbl thine heart though thou knowest all this all [48:37] right so what Daniel is saying to him is you know what happened you know what happened to your [48:43] daddy right and it wasn't his liter it wasn't his literal Daddy but you you you know what I'm saying customarily if you [48:50] come from a man you'll call him your father right so him you know say it's probably his granddad right it's like [48:55] you know what happened to your granddaddy or your great granddaddy you know what I'm saying it's like you still [49:01] let this happen he said you know these stories you know this history however you still not humble in your heart even [49:08] though you know what the most high god did to him right so he haven't even got to tell them what the writing is saying [49:14] yet he just kind of give him a precursor right keep [49:24] going but but H has lifted up thyself against [49:31] the Lord of Heaven and they have brought the vessels of of his house before thee and thou and all thy Lords thy wives and [49:38] thy concubines have drunk wine in them thou H has praised the gods of silver and and gold and of brass and iron wood [49:46] and stone which see not hear not nor know and the god in whose hand thy [49:51] breath is in whose all whose are all thy ways thou H has not [49:57] glorified then was the part of the hand sent from him and this writing was [50:02] written and this is the writing that was written meany meany tle of [50:09] harson this is the interpretation of the thing mean God has numbered thy kingdom [50:15] and finished it tle thou are weighed in the balances and are found wanting right [50:21] when he say you weighed in the balances and found wanting that means you got when you had a balance you had a scale [50:27] right you kind of think of a old school scale and there's two sides of it right so you'll put something on one side and [50:34] it would lower it because it weighs more and it'll bring it to to this side so you know it your your scale is not balanced you know that this side has [50:41] more weight than that side right but then you put some on this side and then you'll try to get it to balance so [50:47] you'll know okay this block of gold is the same weight as this block of gold so [50:54] we would use this when we're exchanging something right when we trading something so let's say I [51:01] say I say it's going to cost you three shekels right three shekels according to [51:08] the shekele of the sanctuary for me to sell you my donkey right so you can hand me what you [51:17] call three shekels but shek is a weight and so when I'm saying the shek [51:23] according to when let's let's not say let's say 3 lb right you can hand me three PBS of [51:29] gold but that's a weight right so if I look at it and I say okay I know this [51:35] gold and it's three pounds I don't know I can't measure three pounds unless I have something that is three pounds so [51:42] the only thing I got is this scale so if I say according to the sh Sanctuary the sanctuary let's say it got a bag of [51:48] rocks that weigh three pounds so every time somebody has shekels it take these three pounds of weight and make sure [51:54] that the shekele is weighing the same thing as the Rocks because I know this is three lbs so this is the balance of [52:01] the shekele so you put it on both sides and boom it's even that lets me know [52:07] this is three shekels or three pounds right it weighs the same amount as the rocks that I've already verified is [52:13] three pounds right but if then I put three pounds on this side and [52:20] it's heavier that means you're found wanting on what you gave right I need more [52:27] pounds on what you gave cuz my three pounds is heavier than what you say is three pounds that don't make sense they [52:33] should be even so that means I need more pounds on your side and then you make it heavy and [52:39] then guess what it balances after there a while in debt right so that's what happened go saying he in debt waiting [52:46] he's in debt he owes when he says you you found wanting you've been put on the [52:52] balances and you've been found wanting so he's telling the most high God is saying you owe me you walked into [53:00] this I did something to you when I'm talking to your father I made it butt [53:05] sit his butt down in the field get that out of your mouth you nasty butt I made it butt sit down in the field and run [53:12] around with animals right and he had to look up to [53:18] me and then you walk into all this you know that happened oh no boy you owe me [53:23] something he said I numbered your kingdom and it's [53:28] over right you've been in the balances and you've been found wanting in other [53:33] words you owe me you didn't give me three pounds you supposed to give me three pounds that [53:40] ain't three pounds I'm weighing it out it don't balance right keep going pz thy kingdom is divided and [53:48] given to the mees and Persians look this is the Babylonians ain't [53:53] it but now your kingdom is divided right it's split and it's given [54:01] to the mes and the Persians so now pay attention to what we [54:07] just read from Daniel remember those prophecies that we read from Daniel it happened before this so Daniel got the [54:15] got the opportunity to kind of see all this stuff happen he had the vision that he dealt with in Daniel 2 with [54:21] Nebuchadnezzar he told Nebuchadnezzar himself yo you to go and there going to be kingdoms that come after you then he [54:28] had another vision of four beasts the first one was a lion stood up like a man [54:33] and was given a man's heart the second one was a bear lifted up on one side then the third one was a leopard had [54:39] four heads and then the fourth one was a great terrible Beast then he had another [54:45] Vision in chapter eight that said it was a um it was a Ram with one horn larger [54:53] than the other one higher than the other one and then after that you had a goat so he's seeing all these things happen [55:00] now he see the mes and the Persians he's looking like [55:05] oh so the silver breastplate on what I describ to Nebuchadnezzar must be the me [55:12] and the Persian because they coming after his kingdom and he looking like okay well that lion must have been [55:19] Babylon and then the bear lifted up on one side is the mes and the pers [55:26] right so he's starting to he at this point he probably starting to put it together right but watch what [55:38] happened then commanded Bel tazar and they clothed Daniel with scarlet and put a gold chain about his neck and made a [55:46] proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the Kingdom in that night so now he was given he was [55:53] given uh Authority right as the third ruler keep going and that night beles shazar the [56:00] king of the calans and that night was the belaz the king of the caldan slain [56:06] and Darius the median took the kingdom being about 62 years 62 years [56:13] old right so now the next one that came up is Darius who was a me all right so Darius as a me he took [56:21] over that that very night and then he killed Bazar [56:27] right who was a son of um Nebuchadnezzar he's a descendant of [56:34] Nebuchadnezzar all right keep going that's the end of the chapter yeah all [56:40] right go uh yeah let's let's go to uh chapter [56:47] six if please remember right before right before B uh right before the [56:53] descendant of Nebuchadnezzar Bazar right before he dies he gives authority to Daniel to be [57:02] third in command that's important right so now you have a new king that's [57:08] walking in and you got to think of it like when these Kings take over think of it like they taking over a business [57:15] Under New Management huh Under New Management Under New Management right [57:21] think of it like there's a store it it's running this oper ating you know what I'm saying everybody got shifts you got [57:27] a bunch of employees everybody know how to work they got procedures everything is in place right but then you got this [57:34] new boss that come in and tell you we just bought we've we've acquired this [57:39] company right we don't want to change anything that's our new B when they come in we don't want to change a thing right [57:47] we just want to learn and understand how you guys do what you we want you to keep doing what you're doing right we don't [57:53] want to lay anybody off we don't want to change a thing so imagine that's a likely how a lot of these kings are [57:59] coming in they coming in like okay well keep everything going y'all got things running well and then they slowly start [58:05] tinkering with stuff right so watch what how this plays out this is Darius this [58:10] is uh this is uh Daniel chapter uh 6 verse one it pleased Darius to set over [58:17] the kingdom 120 princes which should be over the whole Kingdom and right so now [58:22] he got to put his Management in place right he got all these kingdoms or all [58:28] this all this land all this territory so he got to put his Management in place to make sure things are running the way he wants watch this keep [58:36] going and over these three presidents of whom Daniel was first that the princes [58:41] might give accounts unto them and the king have no so then three presidents [58:47] right and Daniel was the first of the three presidents right so when you when when [58:55] you say president like we have presidents today so when we think of presidents we think of like you know what I'm saying Obama Biden and George [59:02] Washington and all that right but literally you think a president is [59:08] preside right so you preside over in other words you kind of rule over when you when you talk about a judge when you [59:14] walk in and see a judge they say the presiding judge right which means they [59:21] they're ruling over that court right they're going to give rule in that court so that's kind of how Daniel was Daniel [59:27] was like a judge he was made a judge of three right but he was made now the top [59:33] the reason why he got that position is because you know how Stuff runs right so [59:38] I got my princes I got my rulers all over the place but I need some people in here that knows how this place work who' [59:44] been around for a while you you were third in command okay I want you to be the top of the three presidents right [59:52] keep going then this Daniel was preferred Above All Above the presidents and [59:58] princes because an excellent Spirit was in him and the King thought to set him [60:03] over the whole Ram then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel [60:09] concerning the kingdom but they could not find no occasion nor fault for as much as he he was faithful neither was [60:15] there any error or fault found in him then said these men we shall not found [60:21] find any occasion against this Daniel except we find against him concerning the law of his God look at that this is [60:30] the position we need to make sure we are in it's tough It's hard I get it but we [60:37] have to put people in a position where they have to call God wrong to call us [60:44] wrong right that is the only way we win if we suffer under those conditions oh [60:51] man all glory to the most high God right those are the a lot of times we spend [60:57] our time suffering because of our mess because of bad decisions because of sin because of lust because of all this [61:03] foolishness that we deal with that gets in the way and slows down the most high God's plan for us it don't slow down his [61:10] plan for the world it slow down his plan for us right he got plans for each and every [61:18] one of us that if we choose we can [61:23] live we can experience some great things we can suffer through some great things and be a testimony to the next [61:29] person but we end up slowing it down cuz we Rebel we hypocrite we do the [61:35] most right we have to put people in a position imagine nobody can find any [61:44] dirt on you that puts him in a position nowadays they just gonna lie on you right people [61:50] were a little bit more honest back then because before Satan was all over the the world right so they they didn't even [61:57] think to just oh let's come up with a lie about Daniel and make it convincing right that you know what I'm saying book ain't even describe nothing like that [62:03] that that that wouldn't even work right so instead they had to say we have to [62:09] find a way to bring conflict between Daniel's God [62:15] Yahweh and Darius the King right watch [62:20] how they came up with this thing these presidents and princes [62:25] assembled together to the king and said thus unto him King Darius live forever all the presidents of the Kingdom the [62:32] governors and the princes and counselors and the captains have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make [62:38] a firm decree that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for 30 days [62:44] except you oh King shall be cast into the Den allons now O King establish the [62:50] decree and sign the writing that it be not changed according to the law the me and Persians which alter not right why [62:58] would this make sense why would this make sense to King darus put yourself in King der's shoes [63:06] right you just acquired this new property bunch of people working on that [63:11] property for you already right but you don't know these people and they don't know you so you took people of the land [63:18] people that you either felt like you could trust or you felt like they feared you enough where you can you can kind of [63:23] you know what I'm saying figure it out you took some of your people that you already trust and you took some people [63:28] that was high ranking and seemed like they had some good spirit in them and you spread all these people to rule over [63:35] all of your territory right so now these gentlemen [63:41] who work for you come up to you and they say yo yo yo we got a great idea let's [63:47] tell everybody all these wild people that we we ruling over now a lot of these new people people we ain't never [63:52] dealt with before let's tell all the people they can't make any inquiry to [63:57] their God for 30 days they have to only come to you why might that seem like a [64:04] good idea to Darius wouldn't that make him [64:12] Supreme right he dealing with all these people that got different gods they serve different stuff they got different [64:17] beliefs but he needs to establish himself as the king over all that [64:23] stuff right he needs to establish himself to see okay hold on if these people serve [64:30] me more than everything if they put me before they gods and they Idols well I'm [64:35] in a good place as a king So in his mind this might sound like a great idea watch [64:44] this wherefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree right he signed [64:50] it now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed he went went into his house and his windows being opened in the [64:57] chamber toward Jerusalem he kneeled upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave things before his God as he did [65:04] before time right so he did it three times a day but he did it right in the window thing open so what does that tell [65:12] you a't worri about all that he wasn't hiding a thing he wasn't hiding a thing [65:20] right what he did is he stayed consistent with his normal routine now he could have closed [65:25] it it ain't no it ain't no law no Commandment that say you got to pray with your window open there's not one [65:33] Commandment that tell you that right he just didn't change it St so he's he's maybe even knowing that [65:41] this is going to be a problem invited the confrontation or he just said hey I'mma [65:47] keep my normal routine and didn't even think of the consequences either way he prayed with [65:53] the do with the window wide open right and kept his same routine the three times a day he jump on his knees to do [66:00] it right keep going then these men assembled and found [66:07] Daniel praying and making supplication before his God then they came near and spake before the king concerning the [66:12] king's decree hast thou not signed a decree that every man shall ask a petition of any God or a man within 30 [66:21] days except you O King shall be cast in The Den of Lions the king answered and [66:27] said the thing is true according to the law of the Meen perss which alterthe answered they and said before [66:33] the king that Daniel which is of the children of the Captivity of Judah regard is not thee Oh King nor the [66:39] decree that thou have signed but makes his petition three times a day and the King when he heard these words was sore [66:46] displeased with himself and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him and he labored to the going down of the son to [66:53] deliver him then these men assembled unto the king and said unto the king know oh King that the law of the median [66:59] Persians is that no decree nor salute which the king established may be [67:04] changed and the king so now he dealing with a political situation they have a [67:10] tradition that hey if that's what the law say can't nobody turn it right if [67:15] the law say they got to die then they got to die right so he knows oh man that [67:20] is our tradition he know if he upset that somebody might try to take the people might turn on him and might try [67:25] to take the throne for from him so he's thinking he likes Daniel but he didn't [67:31] know he didn't pay attention enough to Daniel to know that even if you you make this law Daniel gonna keep doing what he [67:37] doing he had no intentions on Daniel getting caught up in this law he likes Daniel but the people knew like we can [67:46] get him with this we know that King Darius Al like this law and we also know that Daniel going to keep doing what he [67:52] doing that which is going to put him in conf confict with this law King darus going to have to kill him that'll get [67:57] Daniel out of the way we ain't got to kill him ourselves we can just set him up and then we don't have to deal with [68:02] Daniel being the top and being his favorite right so they tried to set him [68:07] up the king is looking like King Dar looking like man is there any way I can [68:13] get Daniel out of this he looking through his law he like man is there a loophole I can exploit he's trying to [68:19] when the book say he trying to deliver him he trying to get him out of it he trying to make sure that d don't go got [68:24] to go in the dinner Lions cuz he know them Lions going to eat his butt up keep going watch [68:31] this then the king commanded and brought Daniel and cast him into the Den of [68:37] Lions now the king spake and said unto Daniel thy God whom thou serves continually he will deliver [68:44] thee and a stone was brought and laid upon the mouth of the den and the King sealed it with his own signant and when [68:51] the signant of his Lords that the purpose might not be changed concerning [68:57] Daniel then the king went to his Palace and passed the night fasting neither were instruments of Music brought before [69:04] him and his sleep went from him then the king arose very early in the morning he said he couldn't sleep and he woke up [69:10] early in the morning watch this and went in haste into the den of lions and when he came to the den he cried with a [69:16] lamentable voice unto Daniel and the King spake and said to Daniel oh Daniel servant of the Living God is thy God [69:23] whom thou servest continually able to deliver thee from the Lions then said Daniel unto the king oh King live [69:30] forever my God has sent his Angel and it shut the mouths of the lions that they have not hurt me for as much as before [69:36] him innocency was found in me and also before thee Oh King have I done no [69:41] hurt then was the king exceedingly glad for him and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den So Daniel [69:48] was taken AP the den and no manner of hurt was found upon him because he believed in his God and the right so the [69:54] most high God caus the the Lions to not even touch him right but now the king technically [70:02] has completed the law because the law just said they got to go to the den Alliance and Daniel did just that he [70:08] spent the night with the den Alliance right so he survived he let him out so now the king can say well I kept [70:15] the law right I kept my decree but watch what he did next and the King commanded [70:22] and they brought those men which had accused Daniel and they cast him into the Den of Lions them their children and [70:28] their wives and the Lions had the Mastery of them and break all their bones in pieces wherever they came at [70:34] the bottom of the den then King Darius wrote unto all people Nations and languages that dwell in all the Earth [70:41] peace be multiplied unto you I make a decree that in every Dominion of my kingdom men tremble in fear before the [70:47] god of Daniel for he is the Living God and steadfast forever his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed and that [70:54] his Dominion shall be even unto the end all right so where you think where you think uh Darius got that message [71:01] from Nebuchadnezzar he had to get it from Daniel right remember after [71:08] Nebuchadnezzar went on Daniel had these visions and he had visions of okay well [71:14] in this time there's gonna be a son of man come from the clouds he going to rule for me rule forever and at this [71:21] time it's going to be a a a goat with a Great Horn that comes out [71:26] of four horns and it's gonna happen in the latter times that this goat gonna go [71:32] up against the prince of princes oh and then that Prince of princes kingdom is GNA be forever right so he knows these [71:39] things already so he took he talking to him he talking to King Darius about look this who my God is this how he worked [71:46] you know I'm saying this who I serve and now dar's looking like man that's a bad God you dealing with I don't know about [71:51] these other people Gods but I seen yours for for real let me write this message so he told him he like everybody [71:57] everywhere got to tremble before Daniel's God this is important because [72:03] the work that Daniel's doing notice that Daniel is in captivity to these people this the land of Daniel's captivity and [72:10] when he after this king put him inside of the Lion's Den that same King comes [72:16] and runs after him and says Daniel are you in there was your God able to deliver you and Daniel's response was oh [72:24] King live forever Daniel never lost his respect [72:30] for him we would be calling Daniel Aon right now in [72:36] America right imagine just imagine president Trump right taking a liking to [72:44] some black boy and the black boy supports president Trump let's not use Trump let's use [72:51] somebody else let's use president bid right and US Black Folk we love [72:58] president bid President Biden I just saw I just saw he went to the jungles boy you know what I'm saying president [73:04] President Biden went to Balwin V Village in LA to the jungles and ate some darn [73:11] uh they might ate chicken with them folks disrespectful right but the people [73:17] love it we love it for whatever reason we love it right so let's say we messing [73:22] we support President Biden we with him we say Okay President Biden I'm by your [73:28] side but then somebody don't like the fact that President Biden like he don't like they don't like the fact that he [73:34] like us so much right so you know what they did they set up a law a law that [73:40] they knew President Biden would like right but they knew President Biden [73:45] wouldn't wouldn't know that that law gonna catch us up and all of a sudden we get caught in that law because we ain't [73:52] gonna change right and President Biden has to put us in jail for the rest of our [74:00] life that would be like the most high God coming and finding and giving [74:06] evidence to get us off of that charge right and knowing that President Biden is the one that signed that bill and put [74:12] us put us in jail put all our people in jail because this what he really did right put all our people in jail we come [74:19] back to them and we say oh king or oh president live forever and give respect to him there's [74:27] people that's doing that right now with President Biden and guess what we call him CU he did put all our people in jail [74:32] a lot of our people in jail right we call them [74:41] Coons this would look no different to the naked eye to the naked eye we look [74:46] at this is the land of our captivity you got King Darius that took over he ain't letting us free sure he he G giving you [74:53] you know what I'm saying he like you Daniel but you just a token the rest of our people is still in captivity still [74:59] dealing with the stuff of this land ain't nobody told us we can go back to our land ain't nobody trying to help us ain't nobody looking at what [75:04] Nebuchadnezzar did to us and tried to restore it Daniel you've been cozying up to all these Kings you were down with [75:10] Nebuchadnezzar you were down with darn Bazar now you down with darn Darius [75:16] right there so many of these Kings you down with so it's like everybody kind of looking at her like man I don't know [75:22] about Daniel but the man responds oh King live forever and with that [75:28] response Darius sends out a letter to everybody saying everybody everywhere got to [75:35] tremble before Daniel's [75:40] God it's important to make sure we understand what this looks like right [75:47] because stuff is going to get confusing one day I'm telling you stuff is going to look bad and it's actually it's it's [75:53] already like that now but stuff is going to look bad and it's actually good stuff is going to look good and it's actually [75:58] bad the only way we can sort through this is by staying very close to what [76:03] has happened as examples in our history talking about the scriptural history and [76:08] then also what our law says and commands us to do if we do those things we'll be [76:14] perfect out here in these street right but if we not paying very close attention and challenging [76:21] everything against the scriptures we going to make a mistake somewhere and that mistake is either going to send you [76:26] to hell or even if you know you make a mistake that has nothing to do with you keep all the Commandments of the most [76:31] high God but you make a mistake still then it's just GNA slow you down and make things more challenging for you you [76:37] still get into the kingdom but you still you know I'm saying you going you g you gonna get slowed down because you made a misstep You made an unwise [76:44] decision right keep going so this [76:50] Daniel he delivered and rescued and he worked signs and wonders in [76:55] Heaven and Earth who has delivered Daniel from the power of the Lions so this Daniel prospered in the [77:02] reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the pgeon right so in the reign of [77:07] Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian important to know that name [77:15] Cyrus the Persian Darius was a Persian or a me he a me he was a me [77:23] right but then you have Cyrus the Persian give me Ezra chapter 1 verse [77:32] one Ezra chapter 1 verse [77:52] one now in the first year of Cyrus King of Persia that the word of Yahweh by the [77:58] mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia that he made a proclamation [78:05] throughout all his kingdom and put it also in writing saying thus says Cyrus King of Persia Yahweh God Of Heaven has [78:12] given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah why in [78:19] the world might Cyrus believe this I think Daniel was uh Daniel was [78:25] still by cus side at the time that's because Daniel was by Cyrus [78:32] side right Daniel talked to Nebuchadnezzar what happened to [78:38] Nebuchadnezzar Man start serving the most high God he talked to Bazar he told [78:43] Bazar listen you know what happened to Nebuchadnezzar you should have listened now you know what I'm saying [78:50] most high God gonna take your stuff from you right what happened to Bazar they a [78:56] got taken from Darius come in like man look I like you Daniel you nice I want you to be the top President [79:03] right then Darius end up serving God so you see [79:11] everybody that Daniel is interacting with serves the most high [79:18] God and now Cyrus is no different [79:25] let me see here grab um Isaiah chapter 44: [79:35] 28 this is Isaiah CH [79:44] 44:28 so now if we look if we we look at our chart Isaiah came way back here [79:51] right Isaiah was like 700 BC time [79:58] frame what we read now is in the 500 BC time frame so this [80:06] is 200 years later right 2 200 years later than what [80:14] we about to read right now this is Isaiah chapter 44 what verse I say [80:20] 28 Isaiah chapter 44 verse 28 that saith unto Cyrus he is my [80:27] shepherd and shall perform all my pleasure even saying to Jerusalem Thou shalt be built into the temple thou [80:34] Foundation shall be laid so now 200 years before this happened there is a [80:40] prophecy from Isaiah saying my servant Cyrus let's read it again give me if [80:47] that was verse 28 give me verse 26 that confirm the word of his servant [80:53] that and performs the counsel of his Messengers that says to Jerusalem thou shal be inhabited into the cities of [80:59] Judah you shall be built I will raise up the decayed places thereof that says to [81:04] the Deep be dry and I will dry up the rivers that says to Cyrus he is my shepherd and shall perform all my [81:11] pleasure even saying to Jerusalem Thou shalt be built and to the temple the [81:16] foundation shall be laid now let's go back to EZ Ezra chap 1 [81:23] verse one and let's look at the language that Cyrus uses in this letter this is e [81:28] Ezra 1 verse one again now in the first year of Cyrus [81:35] King of Persia that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled the Lord stirred up the spirit [81:41] of Cyrus King of Persia that he made a proclamation throughout all the kingdom and put it into writing [81:47] saying thus says Cyrus King of Persia the Lord God Of Heaven has given me the kingdom of the earth and has charged me [81:54] to build him a house at Jerusalem which is in Jer which is in Judah who is there among you of all his people his God be [82:01] with him and let him go to Jerusalem which is in Judah to build a house to Yahweh God of Israel he is the god which [82:07] is in Jerusalem right so notice he said the [82:12] most high God has charged me to do it why would he think that most high God charge him you think he spoke to the [82:18] most high God you think the most high God gave him a vision and a dream or do you think Daniel is sitting [82:24] there saying man look your name Cyrus and this can't be a coincidence look at this look at look this is Isaiah is one [82:31] of our prophets he is around 200 years ago guess what he said he said Cyrus you [82:37] God's Shepherd ain't that crazy it's right here I'm telling you it's right here cus [82:44] you got said he said that you gonna build it why else would Cyrus why why [82:50] wouldn't any of these Kings pop up and say yo go ahead and go build y' place [82:55] again Cyrus pop up it's like Daniel showing it to him in the scripture this [83:01] how I like to imagine it he's showing it to him in the scripture like man it's right here s looking at that like for real you [83:08] think that's talking about me who else is talking about our Temple destroyed you happen to be the King right [83:16] now Jeremiah told us it' be 70 years we approaching that time frame you know [83:22] what I'm saying what you think he probably laying all the prophecy out right to sire and S looking at her like [83:28] hm you know darus did speak highly of it you know what Darius sent out this [83:34] letter you know what Nebuchadnezzar had a similar letter he look at all this stuff all his work that Daniel been [83:40] putting in with these men our people will look at Daniel like he a [83:45] but Daniel is getting [83:50] results and he ain't kissing no butt to do it he standing up for what he believe in he ain't hypocrite not one time he [83:58] ain't trying to accept no gifts from these people but y'all would call him a [84:06] it's important that we understand the difference from somebody who breaks [84:11] their back to serve these people versus somebody who's respectful with [84:21] integrity so quick to call everybody a and so [84:26] quick to y'all gonna miss it now I will say the people y'all calling Coons they are Coons right now y'all ain't y'all [84:32] not wrong about you know what I'm saying I'm just saying y'all Gotta Be You Know slow to the trigger you know what I'm [84:38] saying because one day it's gonna get tricky right now it's easy all these boys is you y all right we all right when we when we call them a [84:44] they you know what I'm saying but one day it's going to get tricky and that's what Satan want he [84:51] want to show us a bunch buch of people that's that's Coons a bunch of people that's false bunch of people that's [84:56] Hypocrites to where we get so comfortable calling people Coons and hypocrites and false prophets and all [85:03] this stuff we just get so comfortable so then we get one that's the real thing [85:09] and since so many of these other boys been fake and they look like the real thing we gonna call the real thing a [85:14] hypocrite and a and a false prophet and they actually going to be real right we just have to judge each [85:22] situation like it's new and everything got to be judged according to the [85:28] book right just take our time with this stuff that I can assure you we'll be [85:35] calling Daniel a hypocrite we'd be calling Daniel a right now and imagine how detrimental that would be [85:41] for the person who did something like that when Daniel is literally responsible for getting us back into our [85:51] land Daniel is one of the greatest prophets we [85:56] got and that's easy to see because it's Daniel and we read it that's not easy to [86:02] say if you put yourself in their shoes when your people getting tow up your temple got stolen and Daniel sitting on [86:09] the side serving the people that's doing it being treated lovely he ruling he's [86:16] enjoying himself right he got riches got money over there in captivity all that [86:21] stuff it he ain't no slave Daniel doing good gold changing [86:28] Scarlet he got his own house he can open up the window and clearly everybody can see him in the window so he probably got [86:34] a nice house Daniel doing good man third in the whole darn Kingdom [86:42] Under Bel shazar Nebuchadnezzar put him in a high [86:48] rank you look at this and be like man he ain't suffering with us it's easy to [86:53] come up with the look these are the thought these are the thought I don't know how the when the Prophet come I don't know how the prophet going to come [86:59] I don't know what what position I don't know if he gonna be poor I don't know if he gonna have money I don't know that part but there are going to be profits [87:06] that come right in our days or in days to come there will be prophets that come [87:13] and I'm not talking about these oh it's somebody on this side of the room prophets I'm talking about legit [87:19] prophets legit prophets that speak according into the scripture right that says thus says [87:27] Yahweh they will be literal prophets and we gonna have to decipher if they real or fake it's gonna be no different it's [87:35] gonna be worse than what we saw with hananiah and Jeremiah it's gonna be worse than what [87:41] we saw with paser and Jeremiah right but we have to start [87:48] conditioning ourselves to see things correctly now because if we don't [87:53] we gonna make some missteps and sometimes the misstep is too much to correct right we got opportunity to get [88:00] the thing right the first time keep [88:06] going and whosoever that's Ezra right yeah uh go back [88:14] to um where we finished Daniel actually that's good because we we need to read Daniel 9 but Daniel 9 [88:22] let's let's read Daniel 9 next week and then we gonna go into Ezra and then we gonna start reading uh you know what I'm [88:28] saying we gonna start reading from Ezra after that um so we could we can wrap up here any questions so [88:36] remember that we just getting out of Jeremiah Babylon took the kingdom all [88:41] our people thrown in captivity covered a little bit of Ezekiel so we're nearing the end of the 70 years that God was [88:49] saying y'all going to be in captivity for 70 years after after that I let y'all come back so we're nearing the end [88:55] of the 70 years of captivity that started when Babylon took us out of our [89:06] home all right well let's pray [89:16] out
