  Speaker 1: Welcome. Tonight, we open the Book of Daniel, a quiet
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: journey of faithfulness carried beneath Babylon's moonlit skies. We walk
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with Daniel. We walk with Daniel, steady in prayer, choosing
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the stillness of devotion over the distractions of a royal court.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Familiar stories of the Fiery Furnace and the Lion's den
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: become gentle reassurances that God's presence calms every fear. Prophetic
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: visions unfold like hushed dreams, revealing Kingdom's rising and falling
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: under Heaven's attentive gaze. Through night watches and whispered interpretations.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We rest in the hope that God guides history and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: guards his people. Please consider subscribing to help us grow
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and share God's word with even more people. And if
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you'd wish to support our mission even further, you can
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: find a link in the description. And now we begin
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the reading of the Book of Daniel. Daniel one and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, King of Judah,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: came nebucud Nezar, king of Babylon, to Jerusalem and besieged it,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah into his
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: hand with part of the vessels of the House of God,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: which he carried into the land of Shinar, to the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: house of his God. And he brought the vessels into
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the treasure house of his God. And the King spoke
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to Ashburnairs, the master of his eunuchs, that he should
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: bring certain of the children of Israel and of the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: King's Seid, and of the princes children, in whom was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and cunning in knowledge and understanding science, and such as
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: had ability in them to stand in the King's palace,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and whom they might teach the learning in the tongue
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of the Chaldeans. And the King appointed them a daily
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: provision of the King's meat and of the wine, which
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he drank, so nourishing them three years, that at the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: end thereof they might stand before the King. Now among
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hannanaiah, Michael,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and Azaria, to whom the Prince of the eunuchs gave
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: names for. He gave to Daniel the name of Belta Shazar,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and to Hannanaiah of Shadrak, and to Michel of Meshak
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and to Azaria of abad Nego. But Daniel purposed in
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: his heart that he would not defile himself with the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: he drank. Therefore he requested of the Prince of the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the Prince
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of the Eunuchs. And the Prince of the Eunuchs said
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to Daniel, I fear my lord the king who has
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: appointed your meat and your drink, For why should he
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: see your faces worse liking than the children which are
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of your sort. Then shall you make me endanger my
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: head to the king? Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the Prince of the Eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hannah, Naya, Michael,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and Azariah, prove your servants. I beseech you ten days,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and let them give us vegetables to eat and water
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to drink. Then let our countenances be looked on before you,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and the countenance of the children that eat of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: portion of the King's meat. And as you see, see
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: deal with your servants. So he consented to them in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: this matter and proved them ten days, And at the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in flesh than all the children which did eat the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: portion of the king's meat. Thus Melzar took away the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: portion of their meat and the wine that they should drink,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and gave them vegetables. As for these four children, God
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: gave them knowledge and skill in all learning in wisdom,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at the end of the days that the king had
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: said he should bring them in, then the prince of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the eunuchs brought them in before nebucud Nezar, and the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: king communed with them, and among them all was found
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: none like Daniel, Hanania, mene Ah, Mischael, and Azaria. Therefore
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: stood they before the king, and in all matters of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them, he
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: found them ten times better than all the magicians and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: astrologers that were in all his realm. And Daniel continued
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: even to the first year of King Cyrus. Daniel too,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and in the second year of the reign of nebucud Nezzar,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: nebucud Nezar dreamed dreams, with which his spirit was troubled,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and his sleep broke from him. Then the king commanded
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to call the magicians and the astrologers, and the sorcerers
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and the Chaldeans for to show the King his dreams.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: So they came and stood before the King, and the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: King said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: my spirit was troubled to know the dream. Then spoke
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the Chaldeans to the King in Syriac, O King live,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for ever, tell your servants the dream, and we will
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: show the interpretation. The King answered and said to the Chaldeans,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the thing is gone from me. If you will not
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: make known to me the dream with the interpretation thereof,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be made a dunghill. But if you show the dream
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and the interpretation thereof, you shall receive of me gifts
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and rewards and great honor. Therefore, show me the dream
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and the interpretation thereof. They answered again, and said, let
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the King tell his servants the dream, and we will
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: show the interpretation of it. The King answered and said,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I know of certainty that you would gain the time,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: because you see the thing is gone from me. But
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: if you will not make known to me the dream.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: There is but one decree for you, for you have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me till
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the time be changed. Therefore, tell me the dream, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I shall know that you can show me the interpretation thereof.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, there is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: not a man on the earth that can show the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: king's matter. Therefore, there is no king, lord, nor ruler
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that asks such things at any magician, or astrologer or chalden.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And it is a rare thing that the king requires,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and there is none other that can show it before
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: For this cause, the King was angry and very furious,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And the decree went forth that the wise men should
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be slain, and they sought Daniel and his fellows to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: be slain. Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the captain of the King's guard, which was gone forth
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to slay the wise men of Babylon. He answered and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: said to Arioch, the King's captain, why is the decree
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: so hasty from the King Then Ariok made the thing
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: known to Daniel. Then Daniel went in and desired of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the king that he would give him time, and that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he would show the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to his house and made the thing known to Hannanaiah, Michel,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and Assaria his companions, that they would desire mercies of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the God of Heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: his fellows should not perish with the rest of the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: wise men of Babylon. Then was the secret revealed to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of Heaven. Daniel answered, blessed be the name of God
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: for ever and ever. For wisdom and might are his.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to the wise, and knowledge to them that no understanding.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I thank you and praise you, O, you, God of
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: have made known to me now what we desired of you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: For you have now made known to us the king's matter. Therefore,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the King had ordained
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: said thus to him, destroy not the wise men of Babylon.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Bring me in before the King, and I will show
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to the King the interpretation. Then Arioke brought in Daniel
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: before the King in haste and said thus to him,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I have found a man of the captives of Judah
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that will make known to the King the interpretation. The
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: are you able to make known to me the dream
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: which I have seen and the interpretation thereof? Daniel answered
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the King, and said, the secret
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: which the King has demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the magicians, the sooth sayers show to the king. But
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: there is a god in heaven that reveals secrets and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: makes known to the king. Nebucud Nezza, what shall be
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in the latter days? Your dream and the visions of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: your head on your bed are these as for you, you,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: o King. Your thoughts came into your mind on your bed?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: What should come to pass hereafter? And he that reveals secrets,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: makes known to you what shall come to pass. That
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: as for me, this secret is not revealed to me
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for any wisdom that I have more than any living,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but for their sakes, that shall make known the interpretation
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to the king, and that you might know the thoughts
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: of your heart. You, o King, saw and behold a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: great image, This great image, this great image, whose brightness
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was excellent, stood before you you, and the form thereof
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of iron, and part of clay. You saw till that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: image on his feet that were of iron and clay,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and broke them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the brass were bear. The silver and the gold broken
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to pieces together and became like the chaff of the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: no place was found for them. And the stone that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: smote the image became a great mountain and filled the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: whole earth. This is the dream, and we will tell
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the interpretation thereof before the king, You, o King, are
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a king of kings. For the God of Heaven has
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: given you a kingdom power and strength and glory. And
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and the fowls of the heaven, has he given into
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: your hand and has made you ruler over them all.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: You are this head of gold. And after you shall
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: arise another kingdom inferior to ye, and another third kingdom
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: as iron that breaks all these, shall it break in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: pieces and bruise. And whereas you saw the feet and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: toes part of Potter's clay and part of iron, the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: kingdom shall be divided, but there shall be in it
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of the strength of the iron. Forasmuch as you saw
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the iron mixed with Myrie clay, and as the toes
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of the feet were part of iron and part of clay,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And where as you saw iron mixed with Myrie clay,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they shall not join one to another, even as iron
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is not mixed with clay. And in the days of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not be left to other people, but it shall break
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: in peace and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: stand forever. For as much as you saw that the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that it broke in pieces, the iron, the brass, the clay,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the silver, and the gold, the great God has made
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Then the king nebacud Neza, fell on his face and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and sweet odors to him. The king answered to Daniel
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and said, of a truth, it is that your God
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is a god of gods, and a lord of kings,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and a revealer of secrets. Seeing you could reveal this secret,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: then the king made Daniel a great man and gave
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: whole province of Babylon and chief of the governors, over
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: all the wise men of Babylon. Then Daniel requested of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the king, and he set Shadrak Meshash and a bed
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: nago over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Daniel sat in the gate of the King. Daniel three
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: nebuculd Nezar the King made an image of gold whose
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: height was three score cubits, and the bread thereof six cubits.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: He set it up in the plain of Jura, in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the province of Babylon. Then nebucad Neza the King sent
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: together together the princes, the governors and the captains, the judges,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: here the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the image which nebucud Nezza the King had set up.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Then the princes, the governors and captains, the judges, the treasurers,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that nebucad Nezza the King had set up. And they
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: stood before the image that nebucud Nezza had set up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Then and herald cried aloud to you. It is commanded
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: nations and languages, that at what time you hear the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sakbut sultery, dulcimer, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: golden image that nebucud Neza the King has set up.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And whoever falls not down and worships, shall the same
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: hour be cast into the middle of a burning, fiery furnace. Therefore,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: at that time when all the people heard the sound
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of the cornet, flute, sacbut sultery and all kinds of music,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: all the people, the people, the nations, and the languages
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: fell down and worshiped the golden image that nebucud Neezzar
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the King had set up. Why at that time certain
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Chaldeans came near and accused the Jews. They spoke and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: said to the king, nebucud Nezzar, O King, live forever you,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: O King, have made a decree that every man that
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and dulcima and all kinds of music, shall fall down
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and worship the Golden Image, And whoever falls not down
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and worships that he should be cast into the middle
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadraq, Meshak,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and abd Nego. These men, O King have not regarded you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: They serve not your gods nor worship the golden image
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: which you have set up. Then nebucud Neza, in his
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: rage and fury, commanded to bring Shadrak, Meshash and abad Nego.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Then they brought these men before the king. Nebucud Neza
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: spoke and said to them, is it true, oh, Shadraq, Meshak, Meshak,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and abd Nego, do not you serve my gods nor
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: worship the golden image which I have set up. Now,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: if you be ready that at what time you hear
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the sound of the cornet sakbut sultry and dulcimer and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: image which I have made well. But if you worship not,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you shall be cast the same hour into the middle
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of a burning fiery furnace. And who is that God
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that shall deliver you out of my hands. Shadrag, Meshak
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and a bed Nego answered and said to the King, O,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: nebucud Neza, we are not careful to answer you in
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: this matter. If it be so, our God, whom we serve,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and he will deliver us out of your hand, O King.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But if not, be it known to you that we
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: will not serve your gods nor worship the golden image
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: which you have set up. Then was nebukud Neza full
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of fury, and the form of his visage was changed
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: against Shadraq, Meshash and a bed Nego. Therefore, he spoke
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: times more than it was wont to be heated. And
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: he commanded the most mighty men that were in his
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: army to bind Shadrak, Meshak and abad Nego and to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: were bound in their coats and their hats and their
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: other garments, and were cast into the middle of the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: burning fiery furnace. Therefore, because the king's commandment was urgent,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and the furnace exceeding hot. The flames of the fire
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: slew those men that took up Shadrak, Rack Meshak, and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: abad Nego. And these three men, Shadrak and aberd Nego,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Then nebukuld Nezar, the king was astonished and rose up
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in haste and spoke and said to his counselors, did
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: not we cast three men bound into the middle of
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the fire? They answered, and said to the King, true,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: O King. He answered and said, see, I see four
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: men loose walking in the middle of the fire, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they have no hurt, and the form of the fourth
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: is like the son of God. Then nebukud Neza came
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: spoke and said, Shadrak, Meshach and abed Nego, you servants
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of the Most High God, come forth and come here.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Then Shadrak, Meshak, and abad Nego came forth of the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: middle of the fire. And the princes, governors and captains,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: captains and the king's counselors, being gathered together, saw these men,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: on whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: an hair of their head. Singed neither were their coats changed,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: nebiicud Neza spoke and said, blessed be the God of Shadrak,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Meshak and abad Nego, who was sent his angel and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: delivered his servants that trusted in him and have changed
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the King's word and yielded their bodies, that they might
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: not serve nor worship any god except their own god. Therefore,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I make a decree that every people, nation and language
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrak, Meshak
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and abad Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: houses shall be made at Dunhill, because there is no
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: other god that can deliver after this sort. Then the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: king promoted Shadrak, Meshach and abed Nego in the province
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of Babylon. Daniel four, nebacud Nezar the King to all
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: people and languages that dwell in all the earth, Peace
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: be multiplied to you. I thought it good to show
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the signs and wonders that the High God has worked
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: toward me. How great are his signs and how mighty
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: are his wonders. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: his dominion is from j De generation I nebuculd Nezzar
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: was at rest in my house and flourishing in my palace.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: troubled me. But therefore made I a decree to bring
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, DearS, the Chaldeans,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: that they did not make known to me the interpretation thereof.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and in whom is the spirit of the Holy Gods.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And before him I told the dream, saying, O Belta Shazar,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Gods is in you, and no secret
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I have seen that and the interpretation there af of.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Thus were the visions of my head. In my bed,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I saw and behold a tree in the middle of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the earth, and the height thereof was great. The tree
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: grew and was strong, and the height thereof reached to heaven,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And in it was meet. For all the beasts of
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the heaven dwelled in the boughs thereof, and all flesh
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: was fed of it. I saw in the visions of
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: my head on my bed, and behold a watcher, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: an holy one came down from heaven. He cried aloud,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and said, thus, hew down the tree, and cut off
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Let the beasts get away from under it, and the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: fowls from his branches. Nevertheless, leave the stump of his
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: roots in the earth, even with a band of iron
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: let it be wet with the dew of heaven. And
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: let his portion be with the beasts in the grass
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of the earth. Let his heart be changed from man's,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and let a beast's heart be given to him, And
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: let seven times pass over him. This matter is by
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: word of the Holy ones, to the intent that the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: living may know that the most High rules in the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and sets up over it the basest of men. This dream, I,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: King nebucon Nezza, have seen. Now you declare the interpretation thereof,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: not able to make known to me the interpretation, but
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you are able, for the spirit of the Holy Gods
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is in you. Then, whose name was Belteshazar was astonished
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: spoke and said, Baltashzaarh, let not the dream or the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: interpretation thereof trouble you. Teshas are answered, and said, my lord,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the dream be to them that hate you, and the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: interpretation thereof to your enemies. The tree that you saw,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: which grew and was strong, and was strong, whose height
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: reached to the heaven, and the sight thereof to all
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the earth, whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and in it was meet for all under which the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: beasts of the field dwelled, and on whose branches the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: fowls of the heaven had their habitation. It is you,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: o King, that are grown and become strong, for your
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: greatness is grown and reaches to heaven and your dominion
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to the end of the earth. And whereas the King
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: heaven and saying, hew the tree down and destroy it,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: even with a band of iron and brass, in the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: tender grass of the field, and let it be wet
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: with the dew of heaven. And let his portion be
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: over him. This is the interpretation, O King, And this
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: is the decree of the Most High, which is come
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: on my Lord, the King, that they shall drive you
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: from men, and your dwellings shall be with the beasts
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: of the field, and they shall make you to eat
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: grass as oxen, and they shall wet you with the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: till you know that the Most High rules in the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he will.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: tree roots, your Kingdom shall be sure to you. After
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Why let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: mercy to the poor, if it may be a lengthening
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: of your tranquility. All this came on the king nebucub Neza.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: At the end of twelve months he walked in the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: palace of the Kingdom of Babylon. The king spoke and said,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is not this great Babylon that I have built for
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the house of the kingdom by the might of my
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: power and for the honor of my majesty. While the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: from heaven, saying, O, King nebucuond Neza, to you, it
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: is spoken, the kingdom is departed from you, and they
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: with the beasts of the field. They shall make you
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: over you, until you know that the most High rules
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in the Kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: he will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled on
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: nebucud Neza, and he was driven from men and did
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: eagle's feathers, and his nails like birds claws. And at
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the end of the days, I, nebucud Nezza, lifted up
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: honored him that lives forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and his kingdom is from generation to generation, and all
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: he does according to his will in the army of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth, and none
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: can stay his hand or say to him, what do you.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: At the same time, my reason returned to me, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: my lords sought to me, and I was established in
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. Now, I,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: nebuculd Neze, praise and extol and honor the King of Heaven,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: all whose works are truth a truth, and his way's judgment,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and those that walk in pride, he is able to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: abase Daniel five Belshazzar. The King made a great feast
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine. Before
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the thousand. Belshazzar, whilst he tasted the wine, commanded to
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: bring the golden and silver vessels which his father nebukud
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Neza had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that the king and his princes, his wives, and his
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: concubines might drink therein. Then they brought the golden vessels
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that were taken out of the temple of the House
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of God, which was at Jerusalem, and the King and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: his princes, his wives, and his concubines drank in them.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: hand and wrote over against the candlestick on the plaster
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of the wall of the king's palace. And the king
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: knees smote one against another. The king cried aloud to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the king spoke and said, to the wise men of Babylon,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: whoever shall read this writing and show me the interpretation thereof,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: shall be clothed with scarlet and have a chain of
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in the kingdom. Then came in all the king's wise men,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: but they could not read the writing nor make known
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was King Balshazzar
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: greatly troubled, rebald, and his countenance was changed in him,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and his lords were astonished. Now the queen, by reason
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of the words of the king and his lords came
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: into the banquet house. And the queen spoke and said, O,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: King live forever. Let not your thoughts trouble you, nor
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: let your countenance be changed. There is a man in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy Gods,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and in the days of your father, light and understanding
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: in him, whom the king nebucud Neza your father, the King.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I say, your father made my master of the magicians, astrologers,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: chaldeans and soothsayers, for as much as an excellent spirit
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and knowledge and understanding, interpreting of dreams, interpreting of dreams,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts were
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: found in the same Daniel, whom the King named Belta Shazar.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Then was Daniel brought in before the King, And the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: King spoke and said, to Daniel, are you that Daniel,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: which are of the children of the captivity of Judah,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: whom the King my father brought out of jury. I
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: have even heard of you, that the spirit of the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: gods is in you, and that light and understanding, an
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: excellent wisdom is found in you. And now the wise men,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the astrologers have been brought in before me, that they
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: should read this writing and make known to me the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: interpretation thereof. But they could not show the interpretation of
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the thing. And I have heard of you that you
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: can make interpretations and dissolved. Now, if you can read
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the writing and make known to me the interpretation thereof,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of gold about your neck, and shall be the third
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: ruler in the kingdom. Then Daniel answered and said, before
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the King, let your gifts be to yourself, and give
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: your rewards to another. Yet I will read the writing
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to the king and make known to him the interpretation.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: The Most High God gave nebuken Nezza your father a
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: kingdom and majesty and glory and honor. And for the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, nations and
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would he slew,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and whom he would he kept alive, and whom he
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: would he set up, and whom he would he put down.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: But when his heart was lifted up and his mind
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and they took his glory from him, and he was
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: driven from the sons of men, and his heart was
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: wild asses. They fed him with grass like oxen, and
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: his body was wet with the dew of heaven. Till
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he knew that the Most High God ruled in the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: kingdom of men, and that he appoints over it whomsoever
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: he will. And you his son, have not humbled your heart,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: though you knew all this, but have lifted up yourself
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: vessels of his house before you, and you and your
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: lords and your concubines have drunk wine in them. And
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and stone, which see not nor hear, nor know. And
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: are all your ways? Have you not glorified? Then was
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the part of the hand sent from him, And this
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: writing was written. And this is the writing that was written.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Many many tekel are passing. This is the interpretation of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the thing. Many God has numbered your kingdom and finished it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Tackle you are weighed in the balances and are found
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: wanting parrees. Your kingdom is divided and given to the
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Medes and Persians. Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: with scarlet and put a chain of gold about his neck,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the third ruler in the kingdom. In that night was Belshazzar,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the King of the Chaldeans slain, and Darius the Medium
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: took the kingdom. Being about threescore and two years old
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Daniel six. It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: on one hundred and twenty princes, which should be over
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the whole kingdom, and over these three presidents, of whom
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Daniel was first, that the princes might give accounts to them,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: spirit was in him, and the King thought to set
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: him over the whole realm. Then the presidents and princes
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: they could find none occasion nor fault. Forasmuch as he
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: in him. Then said these men, we shall not find
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: him concerning the law of his God. Then these presidents
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and princes assembled together to the King and said thus
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to him, King Darius, live forever all the presidents of
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the kingdom, the governors and the princes, the counselors, and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the captains have consulted together to establish a royal statute
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and to make a firm decree that whoever shall ask
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a petition of any God or man for thirty days,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: save of you, O King, he shall be cast into
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the den of lions. Now, o King, establish the decree
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and sign the writer, that it be not changed, according
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Why King Darius signed the writing and the decree. Now,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, you went
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: into his house, and his windows, being open in his
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: as he did aforetime, And found Daniel praying and making
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: supplication before his God. Then they came near and spoke
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: before the King concerning the king's decree. Have you not
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: signed a decree that every man that shall ask a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: petition of any God or man within thirty days, save
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: of you, O King, shall be cast into the den
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: of lions? The King answered and said, the thing is true,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: alters not. Then answered they and said before the King
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: of Judah, regards not you nor the decree that you
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Then the King, when he heard these words, was sore
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: deliver him. And he labored till the going down of
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the sun to deliver him. Then these men assembled to
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the king and said to the King, no o, King,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: that the law of the Medes and Persians is there,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that no decree nor statute which the King establishes may
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: be changed. Then the King commanded, and they brought Daniel
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and cast him into the den of lions. Now the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: King spoke and said, to Daniel, your God, whom you
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: serve continually, he will deliver you. And a stone was
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the King sealed it with his own signet and with
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the signet of his lords, that the purpose might not
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: palace and passed the night fasting. Neither were instruments of
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: music brought before him, and his sleep went from him.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Then the king arose very early in the morning, and
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: went in haste to the den of lions. And when
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: voice to Daniel. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Oh, Daniel,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: servant of the Living God, is your God whom you
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: serve continually able to deliver you from the lions. Then
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: said Daniel to the King, O King, live forever. My
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: God has sent his angel and has shut the lion's mouths,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: that they have not hurt me, for as much as
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: before him, innocence was found in me. And also before you,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: O King, have I done no hurt. Then was the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: King exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: taken up out of the den, and no manner of
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: hurt was found on him, because he believed in his God.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And the King commanded, and they brought those men which
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: had accused Dandaniel, and they cast them into the den
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: of lions, them their children and their wives, and the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: lions had the mastery of them and broke all their
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: bones in pieces, or ever they came at the bottom
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: of the den. Then King Darius wrote to all people,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: nations and languages that dwell in all the earth. Peace
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: be multiplied to you. I make a decree that in
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: every dominion of my kingdom, men tremble and fear before
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the God of Daniel. For he is the living God
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: and steadfast forever, and his kingdom that which shall not
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: in heaven and in earth. Who has delivered Daniel from
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the power of the lions. So this Daniel prospered in
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: The Persian Daniel seven. In the first year of Belsham,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: King of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: his head on his bed. Then he wrote the dream
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and told the son of the matters. Daniel spoke and said,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I saw in my vision by night, and behold the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: four winds of the heavens strove on the great sea.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: one from another. The first was like a lion and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: had eagle's wings. I beheld till the wings thereof were
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: plucked and it was lifted up from the earth and
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the earth and made stand on the feet as a man,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: and a man's heart was given to it. And behold
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: another beast like to a bear, And it raised up
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: itself on one side, and it had three ribs in
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the mouth of it, between the teeth of it. And
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: they said, thus to it, arise, devour much flesh. After
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: this I beheld and see another like a leopard, which
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: had on the back of it four wings of a fowl.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: The beast had also fourheads, and dominion was given to it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly, and
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and stamped the residue with the feet of it. And
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: behold there came up among them another little horn, before
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: whom there were three of the first horns plucked up
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: by the roots. And behold in this horn were eyes
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: and the hair of his head like the pure wool.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: His throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: from before him. Thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: and the books were opened. I beheld then, because of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the voice of the great words which the horns spoke.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. As concerning
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I saw in the night visions behold one like the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven and
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: came to the Ancient of days. And they brought him
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: mere before him, And there was given him dominion and glory,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and a kingdom that all people, nations and languages should
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: be destroyed. I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the middle of my body, and the visions of my
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: head troubled me. I came near to one of them
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: So he told me and made me know the interpretation
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: of the things. These great beasts, which are four, are
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: four kings which shall arise out of the earth. But
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: the Saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: and possessed the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass, which devoured,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: broke in pieces and stamped the residue with his feet.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: And of the ten horns that were in his head,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and of the other which came up and before whom
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: three fell. Even of that horn that had eyes and
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: more stout than his fellows, I beheld, and the same
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: horn made war with the saints and prevailed against them,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to the Saints of the Most High, And the time
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: came that the Saints possessed the kingdom. Thus he said,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the fourth Beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: kingdom are ten kings that shall arise, and another shall
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: rise after them, And he shall be diverse from the first,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: great words against the Most High, and shall wear out
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the Saints of the Most High, and think to change
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: times and laws. And they shall be given into his
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: his dominion to consume and to destroy it to the end.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: And the kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: people of the Saints of the Most High, whose kingdom
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall so and
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: obey him till now is the end of the matter.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: As for me, Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: my countenance changed in me. But I kept the matter
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: in my heart, Daniel eight. In the third year of
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the reign of King Balshazzar, a vision appeared to me,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: at the first And I saw in a vision, and
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: it came to pass when I saw that I was
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: at Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: of Elam. And I saw in a vision, and I
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: was by the river of Olai. Then I lifted up
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: my eyes and saw drieve and behold, there stood before
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the river a ram which had two horns, and the
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: two horns were high, but one was higher than the other,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: and the higher came up. Last, I saw the ram
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: pushing westward and northward and southward, so that no beasts
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: might stand before him. Neither was there any that could
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: deliver out of his hand. But he did according to
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: his will and became great. And as I was considering, behold,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: an he goat came from the west on the face
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: of the whole earth, and touched not the ground. And
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: he came to the ram that had two horns, which
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I had seen standing before the river, and ran to
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: him in the fury of his power, And I saw
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: him come close to the Ram, and he was moved
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: with collar against him, and smote the ram and broke
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: his two horns. And there was no power in the
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Ram to stand before him. But he cast him down
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: to the ground and stamped on him. And there was
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: none that could deliver the Ram out of his hand. Therefore,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the he goat waxed very great, and when he was strong,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the great horn was broken, And for it came up
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: four notable ones toward the four winds of Heaven, And
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: out of one of them came forth a little horn,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: which waxed exceeding great, toward the south and toward the east,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: and toward the pleasant land. And it waxed great even
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: to the host of Heaven. And it cast down some
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: of the host and of the stars to the ground,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: and stamped on them. Yes, he magnified himself, even to
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the prince of the Host, and by him the daily
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: was cast down, and an host was given him against
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: down the truth to the ground, and it practiced and prospered.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: to that certain saint which spoke, how long shall be
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: the vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: to give both the sanctuary and the host to be
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: trodden under foot. And he said to me, to two
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: thousand and three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass when I, even I Daniel,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: had seen the vision and sought for the meaning. Then
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: the vision. So he came near where I stood. And
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: when he came, I was afraid and fell on my face.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: But he said to me understand, for at the time
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of the end shall be the vision. Now, as he
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: on my face toward the ground. But he touched me
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and set me upright, and he said, behold, I will
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: make you know what shall be in the last end
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: of the indignation. For at the time appointed the end
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: shall be the ram which you saw having two horns.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Are the kings of Media and Persia, and the rough
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: goat is the king of Grecia, and the great horn
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: that is between his eyes is the first king. Now
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: in his power. And in the latter time of their kingdom,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: when the transgressors are come to the full, a king
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: And his power shall be mighty, but not by his
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: own power. And he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: And through his policy also he shall cause craft to
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: his heart, and by peace shall destroy many. He shall
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: also stand up against the prince of princes, but he
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: evening and the morning which was told is true. Why
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: shut you up the vision, for it shall be for
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: many days. And I, Daniel fainted and was sick. Certain
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: days afterward, I rose up and did the king's business,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Daniel nine in the first of Darius, the son of
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: a Haasuerus of the seed of the Medes, which was
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: made king over the realm of the Chaldeans in the
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: first year of his reign. I Daniel understood by books
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: the number of the years whereof the word of the
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet that he would accomplish
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. And I set
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: my face to the Lord God to seek by prayer
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth. And I prayed to
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: the Great and Dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: to them that love Him, and to them that keep
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: His commandments. We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: have done wickedly, and have rebelled even by departing from
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: your precepts and from your judgments. Neither have we listened
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: to your servants the prophets which spoke in your name,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousnes belongs
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: to you, but to us confusion of faces, as at
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: this day, to the men of Judah, and to the
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel that are near
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and that are far off, through all the countries where
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: you have driven them because of their trespast. That they
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: have trespassed against you, O Lord, to us belongs confusion
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: of faith, to our kings, to our princes, princes, and
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to our fathers. Because we have sinned against you. To
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses. Though we
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: have rebelled against him. Neither have we obeyed the voice
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: of the Lord our God to walk in his laws
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: which he set before us by his servants, the prophets. Yes,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: all Israel have transgressed your law, even by departing that
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: they might not obey your voice. Therefore the curses poured
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: on us and the oath that is written in the
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Law of Moses, the servant of God, because we have
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: sinned against him, and he has confirmed his words which
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: he spoke against us and against our O judge, is
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: that judged us by bringing on us a great evil.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: For under the whole heaven has not been done as
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: has been done on Jerusalem. As it is written in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: the Law of Moses. All this evil is come on us.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: before the Lord our God, that we might turn from
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: our iniquities and understand your truth. Therefore has the Lord
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: watched on the evil and brought it on us. For
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: the Lord our God is righteous in all his works,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: which he does, for we obeyed not his voice. And now,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: o Lord, our God, that have brought your people forth
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: and have gotten you renown, we have sinned. We have
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: done wickedly, O Lord, according to all your righteousness. I
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy mountain, because for
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: and your people are become a reproach to all that
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: are about us. Now, therefore, O, our God, hear the
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: prayer of your servant and his supplications, and cause your
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate. For
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the Lord's sake, Oh my God, incline your ear and
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: hear open your eyes and behold our desolations and the
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: city which is called by your name. For we do
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: not present our supplications before you, for our righteousnesses, but
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: for your great mercies. Oh Lord, here o Lord, forgive O. Lord,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: listen and do deafer, not for your own sake, O,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: my God, for your city and your people are called
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: by your name. And whiles I was speaking and praying
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: the holy mountain of my God. Yes, Yes, whiles I
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: had seen in the vision at the beginning being caused
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: to fly, swiftly touched me about the time of the
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: evening oblation, and he informed me and talked with me,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: and said, oh, Daniel, I am now come forth to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: give you skill and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: for you are greatly beloved. Therefore, understand the matter and
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined on your people
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: and on your holy city to finish the transgression and
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: most Holy. Know therefore and understand that from the going
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: to the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks and
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: three score and two weeks. The street shall be built again,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: and the wall even in troublous times. And after threescore
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: for himself, and the people of the Prince that shall
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: end thereof shall be with the flood. And to the
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: end of the war. Desolations are determined, and he shall
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: confirm the covenant with many for one week, and in
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: he shall make it desolate even until the consummation, and
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: that determined shall be poured on the desolate Daniel ten
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: in the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, the
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Beltesh Czar,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: And the thing was true, But the time appointed was long,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and he understood the thing and had understanding of the vision.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: In those days I Daniel was mourning. Three full weeks,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: till three whole weeks were fulfilled. And in the four
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and twentieth day of the first month, as I was
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: by the side of the great river, which is Hiddetecle,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: then I lifted up my eyes and looked and behold
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: with fine gold of upairs. His body also was like
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: and his feet like in color to polished brass, and
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: And I Daniel alone saw the vision. For the men
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: that were with me saw not the vision, but a
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: great quaking fell on them, so that they fled to
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone and saw this
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: my comeliness was turned in me into corruption. And I
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: And when I heard the voice of his words, then
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: was I in a deep sleep, on my face, and
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: my face toward the ground. And behold, an hand touched me,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: which set me on my knees and on the palms
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: of my hands. And he said to me, oh, Daniel,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: to you, and stand upright, For to you am I
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I stood trembling. Then said he to me, fear not, Daniel,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: for from the first day that you did set your
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: heart to understand and to chasten yourself before your God,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: your words were heard. And I am come for your words.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: But the prince of the Kingdom of Persia withstood me
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: one and twenty days. But see Michael, one of the
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: chief princes, one came to help me, and I remained
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: to make you understand what shall befall your people in
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: the latter days. For yet the vision is for many days.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: And when he had spoken such words to me. And
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: when he had spoken such words to me, I set
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: my face toward the ground, and I became dumb, And behold,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: one like the similitude of the sons of men touched
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: said to him that stood before me, O, my lord,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: by the vision, my sorrows are turned on me. And
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I have retained no strength. For how can the servant
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: of this my lord, talk with this my lord? For
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: as for me straightway, there remained no strength in me.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Neither is their breath left in me. Then there came
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: again and touched me one like the appearance of a man,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and he strengthened me and said, O, man, greatly beloved,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: fear not, peace be to you. Be strong, yes, be strong.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: and said, let my lords, for you have strengthened me.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Then said he know you why I come to you.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: And now will I return to fight with the Prince
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: of Persia. And when I am gone forth see the
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Prince of Grecia shall come. But I will show you
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: that which is noted in the scripture of truth. And
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: there is none that holds with me in these things,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: but Michael, your prince Daniel eleven. Also I in the
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: first year of Darius the mead, even I stood to
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: confirm and to strengthen him, And now will I show
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: you the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: than they all, And by his strength, through his riches,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: with great dominion and do according to his will. And
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: even for others beside those. And the King of the
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: South shall be strong and one of his princes, and
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: he shall be strong above him and have dominion. His
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: dominion shall be a great dominion. And in the end
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: of years they shall join themselves together. For the king's
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: daughter of the South shall come to the King of
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the North to make an agreement. But she shall not
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: retain the power of the arm, nor his arm. But
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: she shall be given up. And they that brought her,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: in these times, but out of a branch of her roots,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: the King of the North, and shall deal against them,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: and shall prevail, and shall also carry captives into Egypt,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: of silver and of gold. And he shall continue more
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: years than the King of the North. So the King
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: of the South shall come into his kingdom, and shall
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: return into his own land. But his sons shall be
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: and one shall certainly come and overflow and pass through.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Then shall he return and be stirred up even to
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: his fortress. And the King of the South shall be
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: even with the King of the North. And he shall
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: set forth a great multitude. But the multitude shall be
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: given into his hand. And when he has taken away
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up, and he
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: shall cast down many ten thousands, but he shall not
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: be strengthened by it. For the King of the North
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: shall return and shall set forth a multitude greater than
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: a great army and with much riches. And in those
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: times there shall many stand up against the King of
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: the South. Also the robbers of your people shall exalt
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: themselves to establish the vision, but they shall fall. So
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: the king of the North shall come and cast up
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: a mount and take the most fenced cities. And the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: arms of the South shall not withstand, neither his chosen people.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Neither shall there be any strength to withstand. But he
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: that comes against him shall do according to his own will,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: and none shall stand before him. And he shall stand
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: in the glorious land which by his hand shall be consumed.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: He shall also set his face to enter with the
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Thus shall he do, and he shall give him the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: daughter of women, corrupting her. But she shall not stand
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: on his side, neither be for him. After this shall
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: he turn his face to the isles and shall take many.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: But a prince for his own behalf shall cause the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: reproach offered by him to cease. Without his own reproach,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: he shall cause it to turn on him. Then he
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: shall turn his face toward the fort of his lines
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and not
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: be found. Then shall stand up in his estate a
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: razor of taxes in the glory of the kingdom. But
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: in anger, nor in battle, And in his estate shall
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: stand up a vile person to whom they shall not
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: give the honour of the kingdom. But he shall come
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And with
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: the arms of a flood, shall they be overflowed from
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: before him and shall be broken. Yes, also the Prince
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: of the Covenant, And after the league made with him,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: he shall work deceitfully, For he shall come up and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: shall become strong with a small people. He shall enter peaceably,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: even on the fattest places of the province. And he
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: his father's fathers. He shall scatter among them the prey
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: and spoil and riches. Yes, and he shall forecast his
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: devices against the strongholds, even for a time. And he
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: shall shall stir up his power and his courage against
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: the King of the South with a great army. And
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: the King of the South shall be stirred up to
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: battle with a very great and mighty army. But he
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: shall not stand, for they shall forecast devices against him. Yes,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: they that feed of the portion of his meat shall
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: destroy him, and his army shall overflow, and many shall
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: fall down slain. And both of these king's hearts shall
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: one table. But it shall not prosper, for yet the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: end shall be at the time appointed. Then shall he
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: return into his land with great riches. And his heart
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: shall be against the Holy Covenant, and he shall do
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: exploits and return to his own land. At the time appointed,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: he shall return and come toward the south. But it
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: shall not be as the former or as the latter,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: for the ships of Chittam shall come against him. Therefore
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: he shall be grieved and return and have indignation against
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: the Holy Covenant. So shall he do. He shall even
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: return and have intelligence with them that forsake the Holy Covenant,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: and arms shall stand on his part, and they shall
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: pollute the sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: And such as do wickedly against the Covenant shall he
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: corrupt by flatteries that the people that do know their
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: God shall be strong and do exploits, and they that
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: understand among the people shall instruct many. Yet they shall
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: by spoil many days. Now, when they shall fall, they
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: shall be helped with a little help. But many shall
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: join to them with flatteries, and some of them of
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: understanding shall fall to try them and to purge and
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: to make them white, even to the time of the end,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: because it is yet for a time appointed. And the
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: king shall do according to his will. And he shall
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: prosper till the indignation be accomplished. For that that is
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: any god, for he shall magnify himself above all. But
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: in his estate shall he honor the God of forces,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: and a god whom his fathers knew. Not shall he
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: honor with gold and silver, and with precious stones and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: holds with a strange God whom he shall acknowledge and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: increase with glory, and he shall cause them to rule
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: over many, and shall divide the land for gain. And
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: at the time of the end shall the king of
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: the South push at him, And the King of the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: and with horsemen, and with many ships met tour. And
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: and many countries shall be overthrown, But these shall escape
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: out of his hand, even Edam and Moab, and the
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: chief of the children of Amen. He shall stretch forth
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: his hand also on the countries, and the land of
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: the precious things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Ethiopians shall be at his steps. But tidings out of
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: the east and out of the North shall trouble him.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: and none shall help him. Daniel twelve. And at that
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: time shall Michael stand up the great Prince, which stand
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: for the children of your people. And there shall be
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: a time of trouble such as never was since there
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: was a nation, even to that same time. And at
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: that time your people shall be delivered, every one that
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: shall be found written in the book, and many of
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: as the stars forever and ever. But you, oh Daniel,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: shut up the words and seal the book. Even to
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: the time of the end, many shall run to and fro,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: and knowledge shall be increased. Then I, Daniel looked, and
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: behold there stood other two, the one on this side
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: of the bank of the river, and the other on
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: that side of the bank of the river. And one
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: said to the man clothed in linen, which was on
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: the waters of the river, how long shall it be
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: to the end of the ue wonders? And I heard
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: the man clothed in linen, which was on the waters
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: of the river, when he held up his right hand
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: that lives forever, that it shall be for a time
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: times and an half, and when he shall have accomplished
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: to scatter the power of the Holy People, all these
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: things shall be finished. And I heard, but I understood not.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Then said I, O, my Lord, what shall be the
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: end of these things? And he said, go your way, Daniel.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: For the words are closed up and sealed till the
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: time of the end. Many shall be purified and made
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: wit and tried. But the wicked shall do wickedly. And
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: there shall be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.
• 1:07:54
