  Jerusalem is history. And so, our Daniel, and his
• 0:08
  three bodies, it's easy to stand for God.
• 0:11
  When everything is going your way, let's see, how they stand
• 0:15
  now. That they are prisoners of
• 0:17
  Babylon. They're living in the king's
• 0:19
  Palace. I'd say everything is still
• 0:21
  pretty much going their way. Well that's why I'm the boss pea
• 0:25
  brain. The first thing I did was to get
• 0:27
  the king to force everyone to eat.
• 0:30
  His dainties dainties Leonard Auntie's its food, the best food
• 0:35
  in Babylon, forgive me for asking Master, but why are you
• 0:39
  feeding them the best food in Babylon?
• 0:42
  It's unclean. It's against Jewish law for them
• 0:46
  to eat and drink food. That's been sacrificed to Idols.
• 0:50
  They'll be disobeying God, every time they eat, but it seems like
• 0:55
  such a little thing. Look at my hand, it's a little
• 0:59
  thing, isn't it? It.
• 1:00
  Yeah. What was that for?
• 1:03
  I wanted to show you the power of a little Fang.
• 1:06
  Here comes the guy in charge of Daniel and his friends.
• 1:13
  Males are make sure all those Jewish boys, eat their food.
• 1:17
  The king will have my head. If any of them, get sick and die
• 1:21
  Sir, Daniel wanted to talk to you about the food.
• 1:24
  He's waiting outside sir, you give Daniel anything, he wants.
• 1:28
  I like that kid. He doesn't want to eat the
• 1:30
  King's food. What send him in?
• 1:37
  Daniel melzar tells me that you don't like the food.
• 1:41
  How can I, please you, we cannot eat the food given to us, it's
• 1:45
  against God's law to eat. It would be a sin if we may be
• 1:48
  given vegetables with water to drink, we would be very
• 1:51
  grateful. Daniel, a man has to eat meat.
• 1:55
  If he wants to grow up big and strong, the King has made the
• 1:58
  very best available to you. You must eat it to stay healthy,
• 2:03
  to be honest, the king will have my head.
• 2:05
  If any of you gets Sick. But sir God will take care of
• 2:08
  us. He always has I'm taking care of
• 2:11
  you now. Daniel you know, I would do
• 2:13
  anything for you but I cannot change the food.
• 2:15
  The King has provided please. This is a small thing.
• 2:19
  God wants me to be obedient even in the little things.
• 2:22
  It's not like you're committing murder.
• 2:24
  Your God will understand. Now I have a meeting with the
• 2:27
  King, Mel's. Ah, I'm holding you personally
• 2:29
  responsible for, Daniel Shadrach Meshach and Abednego, take good
• 2:34
  care of them and give them whatever they need.
• 2:36
  Need and make sure they eat. Sorry, Daniel melzar.
• 2:42
  He said, give us whatever we need.
• 2:44
  We need vegetables and water. Daniel that's not what he meant
• 2:47
  and you know it ten days. Melts are just do it for 10 days
• 2:51
  then compare how we look with the other kids that are eating
• 2:53
  the King's food. If you think we look worse than
• 2:56
  bring us the King's food, but if we look better, then keep
• 2:59
  feeding us, vegetables. Give us 10 days.
• 3:02
  I don't know why I'm saying this Daniel, but I'll do it for 10
• 3:05
  days vegetables. It will be and water and water.
• 3:09
  You better be right? Right.
• 3:10
  Daniel, I like my head on my shoulders.
• 3:14
  Ten days later. I don't understand how they got
• 3:20
  around, having to eat the Kings dainties.
• 3:22
  The other Jewish kids ate the meat and drank the wine.
• 3:26
  Well, you have to admit. They did look healthier.
• 3:29
  And they were 10 times smarter than all of the wisest men.
• 3:32
  It pays to be obedient to God even in the little things.
• 3:36
  What would you know about obeying God?
• 3:39
  You listen to Me remember. Yeah, I remember, I learned the
• 3:44
  hard way. How learn that the hard way?
• 4:00
  No stinkin Hebrew. Daniel is now Chief
• 4:04
  administrator over all the wise men in Babylon and he's put his
• 4:08
  three buddies over all the Affairs of the nation.
• 4:12
  I know you don't like me to say things like this, but that's
• 4:15
  what happens when you put God first.
• 4:18
  I know you don't like me to do things like this, but wow.
• 4:22
  You know what Babylon needs cable TV and idle.
• 4:27
  I was close. I got my buddy neb to make an
• 4:31
  idol. Who the king Nebuchadnezzar?
• 4:35
  I call him net for short Nebuchadnezzar.
• 4:38
  What a name is Mama's to sneeze when she named him, huh?
• 4:43
  Ah, ah, Nebuchadnezzar bless you.
• 4:47
  Oh, why do you want him to make an idol?
• 4:49
  Haven't you ever heard of idol worship?
• 4:53
  Oh, that's a sin. That's the idea.
• 4:56
  Daniel will never fall for that trick.
• 4:59
  I can tell you right now. He's not gonna bow.
• 5:02
  He always chooses to obey God in every situation, which is
• 5:06
  precisely why I targeted his three buddies, Shadrach Meshach,
• 5:11
  and Abednego. I made it easy to disobey God,
• 5:14
  it's the old everybody's doing it tactic.
• 5:17
  I don't know. Boss, trust me.
• 5:19
  Damon. I know what I'm doing.
• 5:22
  That's what you said right before we got thrown out of
• 5:24
  Heaven. Here they come.
• 5:30
  Thank you for sending press O King.
• 5:32
  We've always wanted to eat dinner at the palace.
• 5:34
  Haven't we fellas? Yeah, look Cooks have all gone
• 5:38
  home for the day. Well, we can all chip in an
• 5:41
  order pizza. Let's see, we probably should
• 5:43
  order two large pizzas. Don't you think so fellas?
• 5:45
  Yeah, stop it. No one is ordering pizza.
• 5:50
  Perhaps the king would prefer Chinese food.
• 5:52
  Yeah, be quiet. This is not a social.
• 5:57
  Visit you three? Have broken the law by not
• 6:01
  bowing to my idol when the music was playing, who do you clowns?
• 6:05
  Think you are? I'm Shadrach Meshach.
• 6:09
  Yeah, and that's a Bendigo perhaps you'd like to explain
• 6:14
  why you didn't bow down to my idol today along with everyone
• 6:18
  else. I think it was the music a
• 6:20
  little too peppy. It made me want to dance rather
• 6:23
  than bow. Yeah.
• 6:25
  Then how would you like to burn in my fiery furnace?
• 6:29
  If we don't like fire we played with matches his children and
• 6:32
  burned our wooden David and Goliath action figures.
• 6:35
  Yeah, very funny. You think this is all a big
• 6:39
  joke? Well, I'm going to give you
• 6:41
  comedians, one more chance out of the goodness of my heart.
• 6:45
  If you bow, I will release you with no more hassles.
• 6:49
  However, if you refuse, I will throw you into the fiery
• 6:53
  furnace. We refused about an idol, sir.
• 6:56
  Yeah, if you throw a senior, Furnace, our God is able to
• 7:00
  Deliver Us from your furnace and he will Deliver Us from your
• 7:03
  hand. But even if you don't throw us
• 7:06
  in, we do not serve your gods and we're not going to bow down
• 7:09
  to your idol. Yeah.
• 7:11
  Heat, the furnace seven times hotter and throw these stinking
• 7:15
  Hebrews in it now. Do you see that the Son of God
• 7:27
  is in the fiery? Furnace with Shadrach Meshach
• 7:30
  and Abednego. You don't have to tell me.
• 7:32
  I'm right here. I can see the whole thing.
• 7:36
  Look at King nib. Do you see the look on his face?
• 7:39
  I said, I'm right here. I see the whole thing.
• 7:46
  Wow, those people children are walking out of the furnace.
• 7:51
  The only thing burned is the Rope.
• 7:53
  They were tied up with Shadrach Meshach and Abednego.
• 7:58
  Don't even smell like smoke, what's happening?
• 8:01
  Uh, neb is making a new law. Anyone speaking against God,
• 8:07
  will be cut into pieces and their homes turned into a
• 8:12
  bathroom, a bathroom, I'm paraphrasing, but Yes, a
• 8:16
  bathroom. I don't care if it is easier to
• 8:19
  disobey God, it pays to stand up for him.
• 8:23
  Why didn't you stand up for him when you were an angel, mr.
• 8:26
  Know it all because I was Dumb and listen to you.
• 8:29
  Well, listen to this. Wow.
• 8:46
  So, how did you get King Darius design that law against praying?
• 8:51
  I mixed a little jealousy into been there and done that, who's
• 8:56
  been there and done that. The two other Governors that
• 9:00
  work with Daniel pay attention. Oh, oh, how did you know Daniel
• 9:05
  would break the law and pray anyway?
• 9:07
  I did it. But either way, I win.
• 9:11
  If he doesn't pray, he disobeys God, if he does pray well, he
• 9:16
  gets thrown into the lions den and eaten by lions, but Darius
• 9:22
  likes, Daniel. I would have never thought he
• 9:24
  would throw Daniel into a lion's den.
• 9:27
  It's the law. Thanks to me and been there and
• 9:30
  done that. Not even the king can break.
• 9:33
  En la. Wow you finally did something
• 9:39
  that worked. Oh yeah well this works wow.
• 9:44
  Yeah that works. Here comes been there and done
• 9:48
  that. Been there, done that.
• 9:56
  Well, now that Daniels out of the way, there are only two
• 10:00
  Governor's left been there, done that.
• 10:05
  So, which of us, do you think we'll take Daniels place?
• 10:08
  We'll just have to wait and see who the king chooses, by the
• 10:12
  way, where is King Darius? Isn't he up yet?
• 10:16
  He may be sleeping in the king. Had a rough night last night
• 10:19
  since he had to throw Well, into the lions den, done that.
• 10:24
  Did you see that? What's the king doing?
• 10:27
  I don't know. Been there.
• 10:28
  Where do you think? The king is going in?
• 10:30
  Such a hurry, he's headed toward the Lion's Den.
• 10:33
  Whoa. Oh now he's gonna spoil his
• 10:36
  breakfast. Shirley Daniels been chewed into
• 10:40
  itty-bitty pieces by now. Here he comes.
• 10:46
  Who's that with the King? Daniel, but he's supposed to be
• 10:51
  Did those lions were hungry? We made sure that Been there,
• 10:59
  done that. God send his angels and shut the
• 11:02
  Lions mouths. I was innocent before God and I
• 11:07
  have done no wrong before you O. King these two been there and
• 11:11
  done that are the ones who have done wrong.
• 11:14
  They tricked me into passing that law to get rid of you.
• 11:16
  Now the evil they plan for you. Shall come on them and their
• 11:20
  families. Wait, what?
• 11:23
  Are those? Ain't please tell me they're
• 11:29
  still there. Oh, did you see the way the
• 11:37
  king? Threw those guys into the pit?
• 11:39
  I'm right here. Damon, of course, I saw it.
• 11:43
  It reminded me of getting thrown out of Heaven.
• 11:46
  Man. I'll bet those guys were wishing
• 11:48
  they hadn't done. What they did been there and
• 11:51
  done that. And did you see those Lions
• 11:54
  chew? Those guys up, they didn't even
• 11:56
  have a chance to hit the ground boy.
• 11:59
  Am I glad I'm not been there and done that?
• 12:02
  And Daniel Alive and well, why does this happen to me?
• 12:09
  It's because God's children triumph over opposition when
• 12:12
  they do things, his way. Well, triumph over this.
• 12:17
  WOW, what'd you hit me for? I just told the truth.
• 12:34
  Man, that's great. Just when I get rid of the Son
• 12:38
  of God, Peter has to start healing.
• 12:42
  People, wait a minute. You didn't get rid of Jesus.
• 12:49
  Don't say that name. Sorry, what I was trying to say
• 12:54
  was you didn't get rid of the Son of God, he beat you to a
• 12:59
  pulp. You think?
• 13:00
  I didn't know that. I was there.
• 13:03
  It was me. He pulverized.
• 13:06
  Of course, I know that. Do you think I'm dumb or
• 13:10
  something? You don't really want me to
• 13:13
  answer that. Do you answer this?
• 13:18
  But it's all gonna work out. I found a way to shut Peter and
• 13:23
  John up before they get out of hand.
• 13:26
  Oh, are you gonna throw them into a fiery furnace or Feed
• 13:30
  them to Hungry Lions. Those are dumb ideas.
• 13:34
  I'm using the direct approach. The high priest is going to
• 13:39
  order Peter and John not to speak or teach in the name of
• 13:43
  G&G. I can't even say that name.
• 13:47
  Okay so you are expecting Peter and John told by a man rather
• 13:51
  than God not just any man, the high priest if you could choose
• 13:57
  between obeying God or man What would you do?
• 14:01
  Well, that's easy. I do baby, man.
• 14:04
  He's definitely dumb. I can hear you.
• 14:07
  I'm right here. Look, Daniel didn't obey the
• 14:11
  king Shadrach Meshach and Abednego didn't obey the king.
• 14:15
  So why do you think Peter and John will obey the high priest?
• 14:18
  Because I have a secret weapon, the spirit of fear.
• 14:24
  Let's the spirit of fear, watch and learn Send them in.
• 14:38
  So I hear that you healed the lame, man.
• 14:41
  At the Temple. Gate are either of you doctors.
• 14:45
  Nah, we never even been to college.
• 14:47
  Surely, you've had some kind of Medical Training.
• 14:51
  No, not at all. Well then how do you explain the
• 14:55
  healed, man? You didn't just walk up to him
• 14:58
  and say you're healed actually, that's pretty accurate.
• 15:03
  The lame man was asking for money since we didn't have any
• 15:06
  money. Be with us at the time.
• 15:08
  We told the man that we give him something better.
• 15:11
  Yeah. Then Peter just told him to get
• 15:13
  up and walk. You told a crippled man to get
• 15:15
  up and walk? Yeah.
• 15:17
  In the name of Jesus, of course Jesus did that stuff all the
• 15:20
  time as you, well know, we were just doing a good deed in Jesus
• 15:24
  name. You crucified him, God raised
• 15:27
  him from the dead and now a lame man is healed because he lives
• 15:30
  in us now. Jesus will live in you too.
• 15:33
  If you receive him as your savior, that's enough.
• 15:36
  I don't want you. To ever speak about this matter
• 15:39
  to anyone? Do you understand me?
• 15:41
  The name of Jesus is to never come out of your mouths.
• 15:44
  Again, you tell us is it right? In the sight of God, to obey,
• 15:48
  you, rather than God, we must tell others what we have seen
• 15:51
  and heard God has called us to do.
• 15:53
  So we will obey God, rather than man, I'm warning you to.
• 15:58
  I have the power to stop you both.
• 16:00
  You do what I say? Or you'll answer to me.
• 16:06
  What about answering to God? Even if he was able to kill our
• 16:09
  bodies, he can never kill our spirit, man.
• 16:12
  Who's that guy think he is? I don't know.
• 16:16
  Hey, we did alright. For a couple of guys that have
• 16:18
  never been to college, huh? Yeah, we did.
• 16:20
  All right. Come on, let's go.
• 16:22
  Preach God's word to the people. Oh, it's a good thing.
• 16:29
  The spirit of fear was there to intimidate Peter, and John, they
• 16:33
  might have laughed in the face of the high priest if they
• 16:35
  hadn't been so scared. Very funny, very funny.
• 16:42
  So now, what are we gonna do? I will never give up trying to
• 16:46
  get people to disobey God. It's what I live for you need a
• 16:51
  life, really bad? Oh, yeah, well, you need a
• 16:55
  beating really bad. Bad.
