Daniel (2026) The Movie That Shocked the World - FULL MOVIE 4K · truthunedited

0:08
Speaker 1: The sky was darkening over Jerusalem. But what was approaching
0:12
was not just night. It was the third year of
0:19
the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah. On the horizon,
0:25
a storm of iron and fire marched mercilessly. Babylon had awakened.
0:30
The sacred gates have fallen, The temple was desecrated. Princes
0:40
and priests were cast in chains, their cries silenced by
0:43
the dust of exile. Among them was a young man
0:47
whose destiny would change the course of history. His name
0:58
was Daniel. But this is not just the story of
1:03
a captive. It is not just the account of a
1:06
prophet in a foreign land. It is the beginning of
1:09
an invisible war between human kingdoms and eternal decrees. It's
1:15
a whisper from the ages, a warning for all times.
1:23
Some say Daniel spoke of the past, Others that he
1:27
foresaw the end. What if the words that were sealed
1:31
for centuries are about to be fulfilled and the wise
1:37
ones will understand? Jerusalem is burning. The sky is covered
1:48
with dark clouds, as if the heavens themselves were mourning.
1:53
What was happening amidst the cries, the clashing of swords,
1:57
and the cracking of collapsing walls. The Babylonian army advances relentlessly.
2:04
Nebucad Nezar, king of Babylon, watches the sacred city to
2:08
be taken. His eyes show no mercy. Next to him,
2:13
advisers write down names, wealth and order the separation of
2:18
the most promising young people from the ruins. Four teenagers
2:22
are dragged Daniel, Hannanaiah, Michael, and Azariah. Their clothes are dirty,
2:30
but their gaze remains steady. They are taken to a
2:34
foreign land where their names, culture, and faith will be
2:37
put to the test. In the heart of Babylon. The
2:42
palace gates open like the mouth of a hungry monster. There,
2:47
under the command of Aspinas, the chief of the king's officials,
2:51
the youths are renamed. Daniel becomes Belta, shaza An, Annaias
2:56
is called Shadrak, Michael is renamed Meshah, and as a
3:01
Riah receives the name a Bednego. In the training hall,
3:05
fine delicacies, succulent meats, and aromatic wines are served, but
3:12
Daniel looks suspiciously. It wasn't just food, it was consecration.
3:18
The food and drink had been offered to the Babylonian gods. Bravely,
3:24
he approaches Asperinas.
3:28
Speaker 2: I ask you not to make me defile myself with
3:30
the King's food and wine.
3:33
Speaker 1: Asperaz hesitates. He sympathizes with Daniel, but fears Nebuchadnezzar's anger.
3:40
Daniel insists. He proposes a test.
3:45
Speaker 2: Try your servants for ten days, just give us vegetables
3:48
to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance
3:52
with that of the other youths.
3:56
Speaker 1: The proposal is accepted. Ten days go go by. Daniel
4:01
and his friends look healthy, stronger than everyone else. Impressed,
4:07
Asperinas allows them to continue with their diet. As the
4:12
days go by, the God of Israel honors the faithfulness
4:16
of the young people. They excel in knowledge, literature, and wisdom.
4:23
Especially Daniel is granted something extra, the gift of interpreting
4:29
visions and dreams. At the end of the three years
4:34
of training, the young people are brought to the presence
4:38
of King nebuchad Nezza. The throne room is gigantic, golden, opulent.
4:47
The king observes them closely, asks questions, and tests their reasoning.
4:53
At the end of the audience, he stands up and declares.
4:58
Speaker 3: In my entire court. There is no one who compares
5:02
to these four.
5:06
Speaker 1: They are appointed to important positions. Daniel in particular receives
5:12
the direct attention of the king. But the peace is
5:15
short lived. A disturbance shakes the throne of Babylon. One night,
5:20
nebucud Neza wakes up with his face covered in sweat.
5:24
His heart rases. He turns in bed, takes a deep breath,
5:29
and tries to remember. But the dream fades like mist.
5:34
Something unsettling remains in your soul. He calls the wizards,
5:40
charmers and astrologers.
5:44
Speaker 3: I had a dream that deeply troubles me. I want
5:48
to know what I dreamed and what it means.
5:53
Speaker 1: The wise people look at each other confused. Tell us
5:58
the dream and we will interpret it. But nebuchad Netta rages.
6:08
I refuse.
6:10
Speaker 3: You must tell me both the dream and its interpretation.
6:14
If you do not, you will be cut into pieces,
6:16
and your houses will be turned into piles of rubble.
6:23
Speaker 1: Fear spreads like a wildfire. No man can read another's mind.
6:28
No wise man dares to speak. The king, enraged, issues
6:33
a death decree to all the sages of Babylon. Daniel,
6:41
upon learning of the decree, seeks out Arioch, the captain
6:45
of the guard in charge of executions.
6:48
Speaker 4: Why is the king in such a hurry.
6:51
Speaker 1: Upon understanding the seriousness of the case, Daniel asks for time.
6:56
Speaker 4: Ask the King to give me some time.
6:59
Speaker 1: He retreats with his friends, and together they do what
7:02
they know. They pray on their knees. They cry out
7:06
to the God of the heavens.
7:08
Speaker 2: Oh, God of my ancestors, I praise and thank you,
7:12
for you have given me wisdom and power and revealed
7:14
to me what we asked for. You revealed the King's dream.
7:21
Speaker 1: That night, Daniel has a vision. The mystery is uncovered.
7:27
The next day he presents himself to Arioch, do not.
7:33
Speaker 2: Kill the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king,
7:36
and I will interpret the dream for him.
7:40
Speaker 1: Destiny now calls him to the throne room, firm steps,
7:44
resolute eyes. The crowd waits in silence before nebucud Nezza.
7:51
Daniel does not boast.
7:58
Speaker 2: No wise enchanter, wizard, or or soothsayer can reveal this mystery.
8:02
But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.
8:08
Speaker 1: And there in that sacred moment, the young Hebrew begins
8:13
to reveal the content of the dream that the king
8:16
had forgotten.
8:17
Speaker 4: It is a huge statue with a head of gold,
8:19
a chest of silver, a belly of bronze, legs of iron,
8:23
and feet of iron and clay.
8:26
Speaker 1: The King's breathing stops.
8:28
Speaker 4: Daniel continues, you, o King, are the head of gold.
8:33
Speaker 2: After you, an inferior kingdom will arise, then a third
8:36
one of bronze, and a fourth kingdom strong as iron.
8:40
In the end, a kingdom that God will establish will come,
8:44
an eternal kingdom that shall never be destroyed.
8:51
Speaker 1: The throne of nebukud Nezza trembles before the greatness of
8:55
the revelation. The king bows down before Daniel in admiration. Certainly,
9:04
your God is the God of gods in the Lord
9:06
of Kings. Daniel is promoted, his friends receive high positions
9:16
in the province. The name of the God of Israel
9:19
begins to echo within the walls of Babylon. But in
9:23
the heart of the king something begins to change. Pride grows,
9:29
and soon a new trial by fire approaches. The days
9:33
go by, the golden glow of the Babylonian throne reflects
9:38
the growing vanity of nebucud Nezza. Still impressed by the
9:42
revelation of the dream, the king sees himself as the
9:46
center of all power. Despite the prophetic warning that other
9:50
kingdoms would come after his, nebukud Neza decides to rewrite
9:55
his own destiny. He orders the construction of a coloss
10:00
statue twenty seven metres tall, entirely made of gold from
10:05
head to toe, a direct affront to the vision he
10:09
had received. The statue is erected on the plane of
10:13
Dura as a symbol of his eternal glory. A decree
10:19
is issued. When you hear the sound of the trumpet,
10:23
the flute, the harp, the lyre, the bagpipe, and all
10:26
kinds of music, bow down and worship the image that
10:31
King Nebuchadnezza has set up. Anyone who does not bow
10:35
down will be immediately thrown into a fiery furnace. The
10:41
crowd bows, musicians play, men and women kneel like waves
10:46
bending before a storm. But three figures remain standing amid
10:54
the prostrated crowd. Shadraq, Mishak and Abednego challenge the royal decree.
11:00
The news quickly reaches the palace. Jealous advisers rush to
11:05
the king.
11:08
Speaker 5: O, King, you said that anyone who does not bow
11:10
down will be thrown into the furnace. For there are
11:13
Jews who do not worship your gods nor adore the
11:15
golden image you have erected.
11:19
Speaker 1: Furious, nebukud Nezar orders the three young men to be
11:23
brought before him. His expression is grim. He tries to
11:28
give them one last chance.
11:33
Speaker 3: Is it true that you do not worship my image?
11:37
If you bow down now, everything will be fine. But
11:41
if you don't, you will be thrown immediately into the furnace.
11:45
And what God will be able to save you from
11:47
my hand?
11:48
Speaker 1: Sir Drake Messak and Abednego respond with courage.
11:54
Speaker 6: O, nebuchad Nezza, we do not need to defend ourselves
11:58
before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace,
12:03
the God whom we serve is able to deliver us.
12:06
But even if he does not deliver us, know, O, King,
12:10
that we will not serve your gods nor worship the
12:13
image you have set up.
12:15
Speaker 1: Silence, The throne trembles with anger. The King orders the
12:20
furnace to be heated seven times.
12:22
Speaker 7: More.
12:24
Speaker 1: Strong soldiers tie the young ones the furnace roars like
12:31
a ravenous monster. The men who throw them in die
12:35
from the heat, but the three fall into the fire
12:38
and do not scream. The king suddenly stands up, his
12:43
eyes widen. He speaks perplexed.
12:46
Speaker 3: Didn't we throw three men bound into the fire?
12:50
Speaker 8: Yes, o, King?
12:52
Speaker 3: But I see four men unbound walking in the middle
12:55
of the fire, and they are unharmed. And the fourth
12:58
man looks like a son of the gods.
13:02
Speaker 1: Nebuchadnezzar approaches the furnace and shouts.
13:05
Speaker 3: Shadraq Mishak and Abednego, servants of the most High God,
13:10
come out and come here.
13:12
Speaker 1: They come out. Their clothes are not scorched, not a
13:17
single hair was burned. There is no smell of smoke
13:21
on them. The advisers watch in silence and awe. The
13:26
king then declares before the entire court.
13:33
Speaker 3: Praise be to the God of Shadraq Mishak and Abednego,
13:37
who sent his angel and delivered his servants. No other
13:42
god is able to deliver like this.
13:46
Speaker 1: They are promoted to even higher positions, but deep down
13:51
the king remains torn between fear and pride. An internal
13:57
struggle begins to grow. One night, while the city sleeps.
14:03
The king has another dream. This time it is different.
14:11
He sees a gigantic tree that touches the sky and
14:16
is visible to the ends of the earth. Its branches
14:20
feed and shelter all creatures. But a heavenly messenger descends
14:24
and shouts, cut down the tree, trim its branches, spread
14:29
its fruit, but leave the stump with roots bound with
14:33
iron and bronze. Let the human mind be removed and
14:38
be given the heart of an animal. Until he recognizes
14:42
that the most High rules over the kingdoms of men.
14:47
The king wakes up disturbed. He calls for Daniel. The
14:51
atmosphere in the room is tense. Daniel listens to the
14:56
account in silence. In the end, he is a astonished.
15:01
His expression changes. Nebuchuldnssa notices, do.
15:06
Speaker 3: Not be afraid to tell me beltesss aar what does
15:09
the dream mean?
15:11
Speaker 1: Daniel takes a deep breath and replies.
15:15
Speaker 2: O, King, may this dream apply to your enemies. The
15:19
tree is you. You have grown and become strong. Your
15:22
greatness reaches unto the sky. But you will be expelled
15:25
from among men and will live like animals. You will
15:29
eat grass like a cow, and this will last seven
15:34
times until you recognize that the most High rules over
15:37
the kingdoms of men.
15:40
Speaker 1: The king remains silent Daniel with compassion.
15:43
Speaker 2: Please, oh King, accept my advice, renounce your sins and
15:49
practice justice. Maybe then you will prolong your prosperity.
15:56
Speaker 1: But time goes by and pride winds. Twelve months later,
16:02
while strolling on the terrace of his palace, nebucad Nezza
16:06
gazes at the city.
16:10
Speaker 3: Isn't this the great Babylon that I have built as
16:13
a royal residence with my power and for the glory
16:17
of my majesty.
16:20
Speaker 1: Before the sentence ends, a voice echoes from the heavens.
16:24
Speaker 9: Bo King, Nebuka Nezza, your royal authority has been taken
16:29
from you.
16:30
Speaker 1: At the same moment, he goes mad. He is expelled
16:34
from the palace, lives in the fields, eats like the oxen.
16:39
His body gets wet like the dew. His hair grows
16:42
like eagle feathers, his nails like bird claws. The glory
16:48
of the most powerful man on earth is reduced to humiliation.
16:54
At the end of the seven times, the king lifts
16:57
his eyes to the sky. His reason Reti turns to him.
17:01
He kneels down and with a choked voice declares.
17:06
Speaker 3: Praise the most high, honor and glorify the one who
17:09
lives forever. His reign is eternal. He humbles those who
17:14
walk with pride.
17:18
Speaker 1: Restored to the throne, nebuculd Neza acknowledges there is a
17:22
god above all thrones of the earth. But Babylon will
17:27
not last forever. Soon another king will emerge, one who
17:33
will disdain the sacred, and whose end will be sealed
17:37
by an invisible hand. Time passes, nebucud Neza disappears from records.
17:48
The throne of Babylon now belongs to Belshazar, the grandson
17:52
of the former king. But unlike his grandfather, who learned
17:57
to fear the God of the heavens, bel Shadd indulges
18:00
in mockery, arrogance, and rampant idolatry. It is night. The
18:06
palace is filled with music and wine. A lavish banquet
18:10
is offered to a thousand nobles. Women dance, pagan priests
18:15
chant profane songs. The atmosphere is one of drunkenness and decadence.
18:22
Amidst the euphoria, the king has a macabre idea.
18:27
Speaker 8: Bring the gold and silver cups taken from the temple
18:30
of the Hebrew God in Jerusalem. Let's toast with them.
18:35
Speaker 1: The sacred relics that had been consecrated to the God
18:38
of Israel are now desecrated. In a mocking ritual, Belsazzar
18:44
raises a cup.
18:49
Speaker 8: The deities of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.
18:54
Speaker 1: Everyone laughs, drinks, celebrates, but then the room for into
19:00
a sudden and cold silence. A hand appears, without a body,
19:07
just luminous and supernatural fingers that write fiery words on
19:12
the palace wall before everyone's eyes. Many men are taken
19:20
parsin panic. The musicians stop, the glasses fall to the floor.
19:28
Belshazza turns pale, his legs shake, his knees knock together.
19:34
He shouts.
19:36
Speaker 8: Call the magicians, the fortune tellers, the enchanters. Whoever can
19:40
decipher these words will be dressed in purple, receive a
19:43
gold chain, and be the third in the kingdom.
19:47
Speaker 1: But no one understands the inscription. The mystery paralyzes the
19:52
court until the Queen mother, hearing the commotion, enters the
19:58
room and addresses the king with reverence.
20:04
Speaker 10: O King, do not be troubled among us. There is
20:07
a man in whom the spirit of the holy gods dwells.
20:10
In the days of your grandfather nebuchad Nezzar, he revealed
20:13
dreams and mysteries. His name is Daniel.
20:18
Speaker 1: Daniel is brought now older. His face carries wisdom and firmness.
20:25
He observes the scene, the cups on the floor, the
20:29
spilled wine, the fiery writing still pulsing on the wall.
20:34
Belsazzar tries to seduce him with promises.
20:41
Speaker 8: If you interpret these words, you will be dressed in purple,
20:43
receive gold, and rule by my side.
20:47
Speaker 1: But Daniel refuses.
20:50
Speaker 11: You can keep your gifts, give your rewards to someone else. Still,
20:54
I will read the inscription and reveal to the king
20:57
what it means.
21:01
Speaker 1: Silence deepens the eyes in the room fix on him.
21:05
Speaker 11: The King the most High gave nebukat Nezza power, glory, unmajest,
21:12
but when he became filled with pride, he was brought down. You, Belshazar,
21:17
knew all this, but you did not humble yourself. On
21:21
the contrary, you rose up against the Lord of heaven.
21:24
You brought the temple cups for this banquet. You praised
21:28
gods who see nothing and hear nothing, but you didn't
21:30
glorify the God who gives you breath.
21:35
Speaker 1: Daniel points to the wall.
21:37
Speaker 11: This is the message. Mainly, God has numbered the days
21:42
of your reign and determined the end. Tekwell, you have
21:46
been weighed and found wanting passim. Your kingdom will be
21:52
divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
21:55
Speaker 1: The sentence is given, Daniel remains silent. A shiver runs
22:00
down the spine of those present. Belshazar, astonished, still keeps
22:05
his word. He orders Daniel to be dressed in purple,
22:09
places gold on his neck, and declares him the third
22:12
most powerful in the kingdom. But it is already too late.
22:18
That same night, while the king sleeps drunk and the
22:22
city drowns in arrogance, Cyrus the Persian and Darius the
22:27
Meads troops invade Babylon through the Euphrates River waters secretly
22:33
diverted without resistance, the gates are taken, Belshazar is killed,
22:40
and Babylon falls before the new empire, the Meadow Persian Empire. Daniel,
22:47
now at an advanced age, once again survives the fall
22:50
of a kingdom. His name, fidelity, and wisdom are recognized
22:55
even under the new administration. Darius the Median becomes king,
23:02
and Daniel finds favor with him. The new king organizes
23:06
the empire into one hundred and twenty provinces governed by satraps,
23:11
and appoints three supervisors to co ordinate them. Daniel is
23:16
one of them. Quickly, he excels so much that Darius
23:20
considers placing him over the whole kingdom. Envy sprouts like
23:25
weeds among the other officials. They plot in secret, but
23:29
find no fault in Daniel. No corruption, no negligence, no deviation.
23:39
We will never.
23:40
Speaker 12: Find anything against him except something related to his God's law.
23:45
In this way, they deceive the king with flattery, O King, Darius,
23:50
live forever. We propose that you establish a royal degree.
23:54
For thirty days, anyone who prays to any God or
23:57
man except you, O King, shall be thrown in to
24:00
the lion's pit.
24:02
Speaker 1: The king, flattered, signs the law without knowing the real
24:06
target of the conspiracy. Daniel hears the decree but doesn't
24:11
change anything in his routine. Three times a day, as always,
24:17
he kneels in his room with the windows open towards
24:21
Jerusalem and prays to his God. SPI's watch. Run to
24:27
the king with the accusation. Daniel, one of the exiles
24:31
from Judah, did not obey the decree. He continues to
24:35
pray three times a day. Dario is anxious. He tries
24:43
to find a way to save him, but the law
24:47
of the Medes and Persians cannot be revoked. In the evening,
24:51
the King, saddened, orders that Daniel be taken away. Your God,
24:59
whom you serve con tinuously, will deliver you. Daniel is
25:04
thrown into the lion's den. A stone seals the entrance.
25:09
The king stays up all night, without eating, without music. Tormented.
25:15
At dawn, he runs to the den. Daniel, servant of
25:26
the Living God, did your God save you from the lions?
25:30
And a voice echoes from the depths.
25:34
Speaker 13: O King, live forever. My God sent his angel who
25:38
shut the mouths of the lions. They did not hurt me,
25:42
as I was found innocent before him, and also before you,
25:47
O King.
25:49
Speaker 1: Dario is happy. He orders that Daniel be taken out
25:54
without a scratch, and the men who accused him are
25:58
thrown in instead. The lions devour them before they even
26:03
hit the ground. Dario writes a new decree, worship and
26:09
revere the God of Daniel. For he is the living
26:12
God who endures forever. His kingdom will not be destroyed,
26:18
His dominion will never end. Daniel's faith shines brighter than ever,
26:25
but even he can't imagine that soon he will begin
26:29
to see visions beyond his time, apocalyptic revelations that span
26:34
kingdoms and centuries. The days of action and politics are
26:40
behind us. Daniel is now in his old age. The
26:45
youthful features have given way to a wise and serene expression,
26:50
still respected in the high circles of the new Empire.
26:53
He dedicates his evenings to meditation, fasting, and prayer, But
26:58
the peace surround him him on the outside contrasts with
27:02
what begins to happen. Ince God begins to reveal visions.
27:08
On a silent night, Daniel falls asleep in his chamber.
27:12
The curtain sways with the wind. He wakes up with
27:16
his heart racing. He has just witnessed something that human
27:20
words can barely describe.
27:23
Speaker 13: I had a vision during the night. I saw four
27:26
winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, and four
27:29
great beasts, different from one another, came up out of
27:33
the sea.
27:38
Speaker 1: The first was like a lion with eagle wings. As
27:42
I watched, its wings were torn off. It was lifted
27:46
from the ground and given a human mind. The second
27:50
one seemed like a bear, risen on one side, with
27:54
three ribs between its teeth. It was told get up
27:59
and devour a lot of flesh. The third was like
28:03
a leopard, with four wings on its back and four heads,
28:07
and dominion was given to it. But the fourth was different, terrible, frightening,
28:16
very strong. It had big iron teeth. It devoured and
28:21
tore apart, and what was left it trampled with its feet.
28:27
It was different from all the previous ones, with ten horns.
28:33
While Daniel was watching the horns, another small one appeared,
28:37
knocking down three of the first ones. It had eyes
28:41
like a man's and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.
28:44
Speaker 13: As I watched, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of
28:48
days took his seat. His clothing was white as snow,
28:52
and the hair of his head like pure wool. His
28:55
throne was flames of fire. A river of fire flowed
28:59
before him. Thousands served him, millions stood before him.
29:06
Speaker 1: The books were opened. Daniel watches the scene with fear.
29:11
The little horn continues to speak against the almighty. But then.
29:18
Speaker 13: I saw some one like a son of man, coming
29:22
with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of
29:25
days and was led into his presence. He was given dominion, glory,
29:30
and an eternal kingdom.
29:32
Speaker 1: Daniel wakes up sweating, falls to his knees. His mind
29:36
is troubled, his spirit distressed. But God has not finished.
29:43
Another night, another vision, this time in the form of
29:47
a symbol and conflict. He sees a ram with two
29:54
tall horns, one higher than the other. It runs to
29:57
the west, north and south. No animal can resist, But
30:02
then a goat appears from the west, with a notable
30:06
horn between its eyes. It flies over the surface of
30:10
the earth without touching the ground. With fury, it strikes
30:14
the ram and destroys it. The goat grows in power,
30:18
but its great horn breaks. In its place, four smaller
30:23
horns appear, and from one of them appears a small horn,
30:28
which grows powerfully.
30:31
Speaker 13: It brings down the army of the heavens to the ground,
30:34
casts down stars, desecrates the sanctuary, ends the daily sacrifice
30:39
and prospers even in rebellion.
30:42
Speaker 12: Daniel hears a voice ask how long will this vision last?
30:48
How long will the sanctuary and the army.
30:50
Speaker 9: Be trampled, and the answer comes until two thousand, three hundred,
30:56
afternoons and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cused.
31:01
Speaker 1: Daniel wakes up again, exhausted. For days, he remains ill,
31:07
shocked by what he saw. None of these visions are
31:11
immediately clear, but the spirit of God starts to give insight.
31:17
Sometime later, during the reign of Cyrus, King of Persia,
31:22
Daniel delves into the scriptures. He reads the writings of
31:26
the prophet Jeremiah. He discovers that the desolation of Jerusalem
31:31
would last seventy years. The revelation moves him deeply. He
31:36
dresses in sackcloth, covers himself with ashes, and prays fervently.
31:42
Speaker 13: Lord, Great and Fearful God, who keeps the covenant and
31:47
mercy with those who love you. We have sinned, committed iniquities,
31:51
and been rebellious. We did not obey your servants the prophets.
31:56
Justice belongs to you, but to us the con fusion
32:00
of face forgive us. Lord, incline your ears and hear.
32:05
Speaker 1: While he prays, a shining figure appears before him. It's
32:10
the angel Gabriel, scent with a divine answer.
32:17
Speaker 7: Daniel, I have come now to give you wisdom and understanding.
32:21
From the beginning of your please. The order was given,
32:23
and I came to inform you you are very loved.
32:27
Speaker 1: Gabriel reveals the prophecy of the seventy weeks.
32:31
Speaker 7: Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city,
32:35
to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin,
32:39
to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to
32:44
seal both vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
32:51
Speaker 1: Daniel listens closely.
32:53
Speaker 7: Gabriel goes on from the issuing of the order to
32:57
restore Jerusalem until the anointed One, the Prince. There will
33:00
be seven weeks and sixty two weeks. Afterward, the Anointed
33:04
One will be killed and will be no more. The
33:07
city and the sanctuary will be destroyed. A people of
33:11
a prince who is to come will come like a flood,
33:14
and until the end there will be war and desolations.
33:18
Speaker 1: Daniel writes everything down, but his heart is restless. The numbers,
33:24
the times, the events, everything points to something far beyond
33:29
his era. He sees still in vision a time of
33:34
distress that will come upon the people of God. But
33:38
he also hears a promise.
33:41
Speaker 7: Wise men will shine like the brightness of the firmament,
33:45
and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever.
33:49
Speaker 1: Once again, Daniel wakes up. The window in his room
33:54
filters the pale light of dawn. He sits wrapped in silence.
34:00
His face bears the marks of someone who has seen
34:02
the invisible, and his eyes have the depth of someone
34:05
who has traveled through time. But one last vision still approaches,
34:11
a cosmic battle between God's angels and the forces of evil,
34:17
the final revelation that will end your prophetic calling and
34:21
seal the words until the time of the end. Daniel
34:30
is on the brink of the last great revelation of
34:33
his life. Now elderly, he carries the weight of the
34:37
kingdoms he witnessed crumble, the kings he advised, and the
34:42
visions that changed his soul. But now what he will
34:47
see transcends empires. God will carry him to the unseen battles,
34:53
to the end time, where nations, kings, and powers intertwine
34:58
under divine super In the third year of Cyrus's reign
35:02
as King of Persia, Daniel begins fasting three full weeks
35:08
without wine, meat, or perfumes. The burden of prophecy consumes
35:14
his days. On the twenty fourth day, beside the Tigris River,
35:20
he lifts his eyes and time seems to stop.
35:24
Speaker 13: I saw a man dressed in linen with a belt
35:27
of pure gold, from the region of Ufaz. His body
35:32
was like beryl, his face like lightning, his eyes like
35:36
flaming torches. His arms and legs shone like polished bronze,
35:41
and his voice was like the roar of a crowd.
35:46
Speaker 1: The men who were with him run away, terrified. Daniel
35:50
falls on his face to the ground without strength, but
35:55
the celestial being touches him and lifts him gently.
36:03
Speaker 7: Daniel, man who has greatly loved, pay attention to the
36:07
words I am going to say to you. From the
36:09
first day you set your heart to seek understanding, your
36:12
words were heard.
36:13
Speaker 1: But then the revelation. There was a war in the
36:17
spiritual realm.
36:19
Speaker 7: The Prince of the Persian Kingdom resisted me for twenty
36:21
one days, but Michael, one of the foremost princes, came
36:25
to my aid.
36:28
Speaker 1: The curtain of the invisible opens, Angels and powers engage
36:34
in battles that shape the course of history. Daniel sees
36:39
beyond the human armies sees the forces operating behind the kingdoms.
36:45
The celestial messenger continues, Now I return to fight against
36:50
the Prince of Persia. Next will come the Prince of Greece.
36:55
But first I want to reveal to you what is
36:57
written in the Book of Truth. Then begins the longest
37:01
and most detailed prophecy ever given to a man. Daniel
37:06
hears about kings of Persia, about the rise of a
37:10
powerful king of Greece, Alexander the Great, whose early death
37:14
will divide his empire into four. Of these, two will
37:19
stand out, the King of the South and the King
37:22
of the North. Their wars, alliances, and betrayals unfold before Daniel,
37:29
like scenes from a future not yet lived.
37:33
Speaker 7: The King of the North will exalt himself, desecrate the temple,
37:37
abolish the daily sacrifice, and set up the abominable idol.
37:41
He will flatter those who violate the covenant, but the
37:44
people who know their God will show strength and resist.
37:50
Speaker 1: The vision speeds up. Daniel sees persecutions, martyrs, false peace treaties, pallace, intrigues,
37:58
and an arrogant ruler who will exalt himself above all gods.
38:05
Speaker 7: He will exalt himself above everything that is called God.
38:08
He will honor a strange God with gold, silver and
38:12
precious stones. He will act against powerful fortresses with a
38:16
strange God.
38:17
Speaker 1: But your downfall will be sudden.
38:20
Speaker 7: It will come to an end, and there will be
38:22
no one to help.
38:23
Speaker 1: Daniel breathes with difficulty. The magnitude of what he sees
38:28
exceeds his human capacity. But the revelation is not over.
38:34
The messenger speaks of the end of times.
38:38
Speaker 7: At that time, Michael, the great Prince who protects the
38:42
children of your people, will arise. There will be a
38:46
time of distress such as has never happened since the
38:49
nation existed until that time. But at that time your
38:53
people will be delivered everyone who is found written in
38:57
the book.
38:59
Speaker 14: Then the whisper of eternity, many of those who sleep
39:05
in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to
39:07
eternal life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
39:11
Speaker 7: The wise will shine like the brightness of the sky.
39:15
Those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the
39:17
stars forever and ever.
39:23
Speaker 1: Daniel trembles, His face turns to the ground, but once
39:28
again it is touched with tenderness. The messenger concludes.
39:33
Speaker 7: Go Daniel, these words are sealed and closed until the
39:37
time of the end.
39:39
Speaker 1: Daniel tries to understand everything he heard, but the answer
39:43
is straightforward.
39:45
Speaker 7: Follow your path, you will rest, and at the end
39:49
of days you will rise to receive your inheritance.
39:55
Speaker 1: Silence. The scene ends with Daniel in his chamber, looking
40:00
at the Babylonian horizon, which no longer belongs to glorious kings.
40:06
His eyes, now tired, gaze upon a distant time, a
40:11
time when kings and kingdoms will fall, but the eternal
40:16
roc will triumph. On the wall, the shadows of the
40:20
sunset dance. Daniel kneels one last time, whispering.
40:27
Speaker 13: Your kingdom is eternal, O Lord, and your dominion will
40:30
have no end.
40:32
Speaker 1: Thus ends the journey of the faithful prophet, of the exile,
40:36
who refused to defile himself, of the wise man who
40:41
interpreted dreams and saw the invisible, of the servant who
40:45
prayed three times a day, even under the threat of death.
