  Speaker 1: Great is thy faithfulness. Great is your grace, Great is
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your love, your peace, your joy. Everything about our God
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: is great. He is great, and he is greatly to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: be praised. From the rising of the sun to the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: going down of the same. The name of the Lord
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is worthy, and it is great, and it is to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: be praised. Let everything that has breath praise ye the Lord.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Thank God again for this another day that he has
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: allowed us to see the final day of the month
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of January, in this new year of twenty twenty five.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: A man, we thank God that He again has allowed
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: us to be partakers of this grace, of this great salvation.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And we are grateful to be a man called to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a man, and be trusted and trusted with a man.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Word of the Living God to a man. Not only
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: live by it, of course, we all are to live
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: by the word a man. God established this as a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: command and a decree long ago, that man shall not
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: out of the mouth of God. So not only are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we to live by it a man, but those of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: us who have been entrusted a man to a man
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: disseminate the word of God. We are to also a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: man preach it faithfully, teach it faithfully, a man in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: season out of season, as the Bible says, when the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: apostle Paul, of course admonished his son in the Gospel
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Timothy Instant in season out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: with all our suffering and doctrine, because the time will
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: come when men will not want to endure sound doctrine.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And that time is here, has long been here. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we are again grateful that God has allowed us a man, nevertheless,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to a man preach forth and speak forth his truth
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: with plainness, boldness, Amen, and with amen, the force of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Heaven itself behind us. And so Amen. It is not
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: my word, it is the word of God. It is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: not my ideas. It is what God has spoken. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that's what we plainly declare every time. God, Amen, so
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: allows us to do. Amen. All right. Today, of course,

• 4:11
  Speaker 1: simply a man pointing everyone to that imminent event that

  Speaker 1: want to be ready as the people of God. Amen.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: All right, We've been in a series on God, Government, Church,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and State, which we will continue in today with the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: topic being divine discipline, Divine discipline. And before we begin,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: let us just take a moment to a man acknowledge
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's Father. Again,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we thank you for the blood of Jesus the Christ
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that was shed for the remission of our sins, which
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: gave to us a man, a right to the tree
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of life. It was by his blood, through his blood
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that we have been atoned for. Our sins have been
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: tone for, our sins have been remitted, our sins have
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: been cast in the sea of forgetfulness, our sins have
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: been forgiven us all because of that blood. Without the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: shed of the blood, there is no remission of our sins.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So we just want to ever be mindful of the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: great sacrifice of our Savior, who gave himself that we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: might have life and have it more bundantly. So we
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: want to give you the honor of the praise the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: glory today. And we, of course, Lord, we just prayed
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and we are interceding for those who are lost, that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you will open someone's eyes, someone's ears, someone's heart to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: hear the Savior knocking at the door for them to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: open up, and for you to come in, that they
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: may have life and have it more abundantly. Be Thou glorified,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: magnified in your people, in your church everywhere. In Jesus name,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we praying it. Thanks Amen, Amen, Amen, Thank God for Jesus,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Thank God for Amen, the grace of God that brings salvation,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: divine the discipline, And as we have asserted and also
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: demonstrated no less from selected examples or narratives that are
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: recorded in the Bible, we have shown that the God
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of Creation is intimately acquainted with and he is also
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: inextricably orchestrating the affairs of the governments of this world.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: There can be no rogue ruler that reigns outside of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the realm of God's ability to discipline or to bring
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: judgment upon such a rebel tyrant. Whenever a man rises
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to power and he does not acknowledge the sovereign authority
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of God's oversight of his by the way temporary seat
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of authority, that man, any man, all men are ruling
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and reigning in temporary seats of authority. And when that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: individual does not acknowledge the God of Heaven, they no
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: doubt and we've seen it, and we see it even now.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: They will have a tendency to be led astray into error,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: either by their own wicked heart being lifted up in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: pride or by and or should I say, by a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: man the satanic influence of the devil, who will also
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: come in to influence their a man decisions, their decrees,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and so forth and so on. But in one of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the most extraordinary instances, and that's what we're going to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: be looking at today, of God directly intervening in the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: government of a nation. We're going to see that. And this,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: by the way, is from the testimony, the very testimony
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of the one who was disciplined, and so from it
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we have an irrefutable a narrative in the pages of scripture.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And by the way, some of this has been discovered
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and extracted extracted from extra biblical documents, but nevertheless, from
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the pages of scripture we have this irrefutable narrative that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: clearly demonstrates the absolute sovereignty of God ruling over the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: affairs of shall I say it again, his world, his world,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He said it. The earth is mine, the earth is
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the Lord's, the fullness thereof all souls belong to me.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: The heart of the King is in the hand of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I mean it, on and on it goes.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: God reigns and rules, and he has that authority. He
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: has that right because he is the creator. Hey man,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: He's the creator. And so this extraordinary instance of direct
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: intervention that we're going to be examining today, it occurred
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in the government of the most powerful pagan king that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: ever lived and rued a man in this world. He
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was the king of the now defunct ancient Babylonian dynasty,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and his name was Nebu Canezza. And this account of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: which we speak and we'll examine on today is recorded
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in the Book of Daniel the Prophet, chapter number four,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to which we turn our attention now. So, of course,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: if you have your Bibles, by all means, you can
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and should go with us to the pages of holy
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: writ to a man, see for yourself, a man, what
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the Word of the Lord teaches Verse number one. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: began reading, and I'm reading from the King James Virgin,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the King, unto all people, nations and languages that dwell
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: thought it good to show the signs and wonders that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the High God hath wrought toward me. How great are
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: his signs, and how are his wonders? His kingdom is
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: an ever lasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to generation. These are the words, ladies and gentlemen, of
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a pagan king, who, of course wrote these words. We
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: believe after the events that we're going to see transpired
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a man here in his life, I never can Azzar
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: was at rest in mine house and flourishing in my palace.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: troubled me. Therefore made I decree to bring in all
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. Then
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: came in the magicians, the astrologists, the Chaldeans, and the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: sooth sayers, and I told the dream before them, But
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: name was Beltishan Czar according to the name of my God,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and in whom is the spirit of the Holy Gods.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And before him I told the dream, saying oh Beltishi Czar,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Master of the Magicians. Because I know that the spirit
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Gods is in THEE, and no secret trouble.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: THEE tell me the visions of my dream that I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: may that I have seen, brother, and the interpretation thereof.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Thus were the visions of head. In my bed, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: saw and behold a tree in the midst of the earth,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and the height thereof was great. The tree grew and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was strong, and the height thereof reached into heaven, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and in it was meat. For all the beast of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the heaven dwelt in the bowels thereof, and all flesh
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: was fed of it. I saw in the visions of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a holy one came down from heaven. He cried aloud
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and said, thus, hew down the tree, and cut off
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: his branches. Note how the tree now becomes a person.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: his fruit. Let the beast get away from under it,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and the fowls from his branches. Nevertheless, leave the stump
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of his roots in the earth, even with a band
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and let it with the dew of heaven. And let
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: his portion be with the beasts in the grass of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the earth. Let his heart. Did you know that a tree,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the trees have heart? Oh, this has to be Wait,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we're getting to the interpretation. Let his heart be changed
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and let seven times pass over him. This matter is
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: by the decree of the watchers and the demand by
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the word of the Holy ones. Listen, this is very important.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I got this highlighted in my Bible to the intent
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that the living may know that the Most High ruleth
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he will, and setteth up over it the basis of men.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: This dream I King, never can aza have seen. Now, Thou,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: o bel to Shazzar, declare the interpretation thereof. For as
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: much as all the wise men of my kingdom are
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: not able to make known to me the interpretation, but
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: thou art able, for the spirit of the Holy Gods
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is in the all right, So now here we see again.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And by the way, in our previous episode, we looked
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: at the first dream recorded of neverkan as a that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: he had rather in Daniels chapter number two, and Daniel
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of course came in and not only reveal what the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: dream was, but also the interpretation of it. And so
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: now God is intervening again. God is ah there, he
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: is listen. I'm telling you, I'm telling you. Please, we
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: just if you don't listen, if we don't believe the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Bible with all of the evidence, with all of the clear,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: compelling I mean mean overwhelming proofs that have already been
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: shown to be true. I mean, we're we're we're just
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: we're just simply doing ourselves a grave disservice while we
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: are living in this world, and certainly for those who
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: are dying in their unbelief or will die in their
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: unbelief eternal damnation. This this, this word of God is true.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: The Bible is true. And there's uh, there's there's just
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: instruction for us. And this, by the way, again listen again.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Let me just go back to the very first three
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: verses of what never can Asa wrote, if you will,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and he wrote it, and he wanted everyone. He says,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to all people, he said, I think it's a good
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: thing for you to know this. I want you to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: know how the God of creating, the High, High God,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that he has as signs and wonders, that not only
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: he showed toward me, but they are great. His might
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: is beyond far beyond ours. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: His dominion is from generation to the generations. In other words,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: so what we're reading here is not just history, not fables,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: not mythology. This is reality. This is the real world
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in which we live right now. God is yet still
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: orchestrating and ordering the affairs of this world. Because what
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: he has spoken, what he has decreed, what he has
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: purposed from the foundation of the world, what he is predestined,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: it must come to pass. And no ruler rising up
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the power for some temporary period of time is going
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to de terror, is going to this an all what
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: God is already. But God is already determined that he's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: going to do that He's going to be before and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: by the way, please understand it. Of course we can't
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: understand it. We can't really relate because we are confined
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: in this sphere of time in which we are a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: man encapsulated, if you will, it's already accomplished in eternity,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: because in eternity there is no past, there is no present,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: there is no future. It's already done. And that's why
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: God can decree things and say things that in our
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: time and our reality have not yet come to past,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and of a certainty they will come to past, because
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: in eternity it's already done. It's already done, and so
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it would do us, all of us well with our faith.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Oh God, we need it. We need it, and we've
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: got to live by faith. And that's something that God
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: is determined, that God has commanded that we must do.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: We just got to trust God and know that what
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: is And the best way listen, faith comes by hearing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Hearing by the word of God. The best way for
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: your mind to be settled, the best way for your
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: heart to have peace, the best way for you to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: live your life and govern your affairs in this world
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and in relationship to all of the governments of this
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: world and everything that's transpiring in our where. The best
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: way for you to have the peace and joy and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: contentment in your life is to know that God range
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and rules, and that his word, every word Jesus said,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: not one of them will pass away until all this fulfilled.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: We just gotta know, we just gotta trust, we gotta
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: believe it, we gotta stand on it. And you will
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: have peace of mind in the midst of all of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this calamity and confusion and chaos, ah, because you will
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: know that God reigns and rules in the kingdom of men.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So now never can aza brother has another dream time
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: he tells the dream itself. The last time he did not,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: But he tells the dream itself and Daniel, here's the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: dream of the king. And of course Daniel does have
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the spirit of God in him, and God has given
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to him the ability to interpret and to understand dreams
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and visions and so forth and so on. So down
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to the version of nineteen Daniel. After he hears the dream,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the Bible says he was astonished for one hour. Can
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you imagine the scene Daniel standing before the king, Daniel
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: there with all of the other wise men perhaps in
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: astrologers and chaldeans and soothsayers standing there after he hear's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the dream, It's as if he's stupefied. It perhaps is
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: as if he's a and I can only imagine. I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: believe he knew instantly what the dream meant, but he's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: just perplexis you know, sometime when God reveals things to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: us and they are so astonishing, it it's mind blowing.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: It It just it's it's so it's so it's like,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: we can't believe it. Is this what you're gonna do?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: What I'm sure that Noah for for example, and it
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: certainly when it transpired. It it's sometimes it's hard for
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: us to believe that it's going to happen, and then
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: when it happens, we're even more astonished that it actually
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: did happen. And I'm sure again in the case of Noah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: for example, that was you know, perhaps beyond again belief.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: But Noah acted in faith. Of course, he believed God
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and he was saved. But when that water came, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: have to believe. I have to believe, at least at
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: least from again from the humor perspective, that this was astonishing.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And so never again has A has this dream in Daniel.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Now here's this dream and he is standing there in
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the court of the king for one hour and perhaps
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: he's pacing back and forth. Perhaps he's he's shaking his head,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: perhaps he's praying. Perhaps he's saying to God, are you sure?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Is this really what? What was going to happen? Is this?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Is this? Is this going to happen? Is it going
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to happen? Is he going to is this? Is this
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: an absolute certainty? The Bible says he was astonished for
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. See he's reasoning
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in his mind. So the King speaks up and says, beltish,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: are let not the dream or the interpretation thereof trouble
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the Oh? If only he knew what it meant. That's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: why Daniel. That's why Daniel was trouble, because he knew,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: he knew the meaning of it. So Beltishers, I am said,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: my Lord. The dream, oh, be to them that hate thee,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. Daniel, by the way,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: had a good relationship with never Canazza, despite the fact
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that never can Nazza and this is just world History
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: was considered to be a brutal tyrant. He was a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: ruthless man. In Damn Chapter five, by the way, tells
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: us that whomsoever he would, he slew and whomsoever he
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: would he kept alive. In other words, never Canazza had autonomous,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: near autonomous earthly power. No one has power above God,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: but from the earthly perspective, never Can didn't have a
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: supreme court. He didn't have a legislature, he didn't have
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He said what he wanted, he demanded what he wanted,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he did what he wanted, and nobody could check him,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: nobody could stop him. And there has been no king
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: like him ever since, ever, never again. And so Daniel
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: now says to Nevigans, Oh, I hate to tell you this.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you this, but I got
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to tell you this verse twenty. The tree that you saw,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: which grew and was strong, whose height reached into the heaven,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and the sight thereof to all the earth, whose leaves
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: were fair, the fruit thereof much, And then it was
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: meet for all under which the beasts of the field dwelt,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and upon whose branches the files of the heaven had
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: their habitation. It is thou, oh King, it's you. You
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: are that tree. And by the way, in the pages
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of Scripture there are the places where we see that
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: men very kind of referred to as being trees. Psal
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: number one, one of my favorites. We shall, if we,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: of course live by the word of God and take
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: heed to the word of God, we shall be like trees,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: or like a tree planted by the rivers water. When
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus opened the eyes of that man in the New Testament,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he said, I see men like trees. Amen. And so this,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: this dream that never can has and has a had,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: is this mighty, mighty tree that was great, and it
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: grew up out of the earth. But it was him.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It was him who had grown up. It was him
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: who had been raised up. It was him. It was
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: him that he saw. He saw himself in this tree.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: But he didn't know, he didn't know what it meant.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: But it troubled him. It's you, all, King, You're the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: one who has grown. You're the one who's become strong.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: For thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: thy dominion to the end of the earth. But never, never,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: never forget that it all comes from God, and that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: it is temporary. No matter how great and powerful any
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: man might meet, no matter how rich and famous, it's temporary.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: one coming down from heaven, and saying, hew down, or
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: cut down that tree and destroy it. Yet leave the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: stomp of the roots thereof in the earth, even with
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: of the field, and let it be wet with the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: dew of heaven. And let his portion be with the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: beast of the field till seven times pass over him.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: This is the interpretation o King, And this is the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: decree of the Most High, which has come upon my
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Lord the King. Listen, let me tell you something. When
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: God is a decree, it is irrevocable. When God speaks it,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: when God commanded, when God sends it, It's done. Amen,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: It's done. The final judgment has already been decreed by
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: God that is coming upon this word, it is done. Amen.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: This is the decree of the Most Igh which is
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: come upon my Lord the King, that they shall drive
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: thee from men who that they are. We can speculate,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: but I would speculate that it is demonic demons. God
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: will turn loose the hounds of hell on the rebels. Amen.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: And I can buttress my supposition, if you will, from
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the pages of Scripture Romans chapter number one, where God
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: gives people over to a reprobate mind when they know
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: when they have known God, but they refuse to acknowledge
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: him had been exposed. He knew there's a godly man.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Neverganazza has a pointed that's serving in his in his
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: in his kingdom Daniel, and not only Daniel, but also
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: his amn uh friends are there and the king has
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: been exposed as a matter of fact, the events of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Jack Daniel chapter number three, where he built this huge
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: image and commanded all people to bow down before it,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and the three Hebrew boys we know chat read me
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: second been refused to do so in that very instance,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in that very uh uh occasion of this this this
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: this turning uh in nevergin a chance or if you
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: an opportunity. In nebkan As his life, uh, God revealed
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: himself to nebkin As because God got in the fire
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to save his servants and nebgin Asa saw him. He said,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: oh wait, wait, wait, whoa We've asked three men in
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the fire hole. Uh now I see four and they're
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: all loose and walking around in the fourth look like
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the sun of God. So this was not never can
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: add this first time, a first exposure, a first opportunity
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: to get to know, to get to understand, to get
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge the God of Heaven. Listen, God is patient.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: God gives all men everywhere space to repent. This is
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the interpretation. This is the decree of the Most High
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: which has come upon my Lord the King, that they
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: shall drive thee from men, and thy dwellings shall be
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: with the beast of the field. And they and they
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: shall make thee to eat grass with the eat grass
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the doo
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: of heaven. And seven times, that is seven years shall
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: ruleth in the Kingdom of Men, and and giveth it
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to whomsoever he will. Oh my God, we need to
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: learn that. Oh my God, we need to remember that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, Oh my God, help us Jesus. Lord,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: would let me just pause and pray. Lord, would you
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: please help someone right now? Remember that you reign and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you rule in the kingdom of Men. You are the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: one who exalts. You are the one who promotes. You're
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the one who brings down. You're the one who sends judgment.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: You raise up, you demote, you bring down. Ah just
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: had to pray that quick prayer. And whereas they commanded
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to leave the stump of the tree roots, thy kingdom
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: shall be sure unto thee. After that thou shalt have
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: known that the heavens do rule his head. Wow. Man,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: sometimes it just it takes great discipline for some of us.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: It takes, you know, because some of us are very
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: stubborn and rebellious, and some of us are so lifted
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: up in pride and arrogance. And so after this divine
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and discipline, after you have been checked. After now, please
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: note that God could have killed him, but he didn't.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: God have could have overthrown his kingdom, but he didn't.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: God could have just forever banished him, but he didn't.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: God gave him seven years of divine discipline. And he says,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: after that you will know. You will come to know.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You will come to learn that the heavens to rule.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Wherefore verse twenty seven, Oh King, let my counsel be
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: acceptable unto thee. Break off thy sins by righteousness and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: thine iniquities, by showing mercy to the poor, if it
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: may be a lengthening of thy tranquility. All this came
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: upon the king Nebukansen by the way, when we tell people,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: when we warn people to flee from the raft to come,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: there's always there is always and again, God, being the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: mercy for God that he is, there's always opportunity to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: avoid to avert. And we saw this already and again
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: in a previous podcast episode. We saw how God sent
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: a man, the prophet Jonah, the reluctant prophet, to Nineveh,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a very wicked of very wicked and idolatrous people. But
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: they repent it at the preaching of Jonah, and God
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: relented from the punishment that would come upon them because
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: they repent it. And that is all this is all about.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, repent. That's what the Gospel is all about.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: That's what Johnda Baptists preach. That's what Jesus preached. The
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: first words that came out of Peter's mouth on the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: day of Pentecost when the men heard his message, the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: first words that came out of his mouth repent and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: be baptized. What must we do? What must we all do? Repent?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: God has commanded all men everywhere to repent. So King,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: let me give you some advice, let me give you
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: some counsel. Break off your sins by doing what is right.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: That's what God commands of all me. He's shown you,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a man, what is right, what is good? You know, Amen,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of good and evil is in us. We
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: know what is good, We know what is right. Amen.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Break off thy sins by righteousness and thine iniquities by
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: showing mercy to the poor. God said Jesus said these words,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: by the way, and the beattitudes blessed of the merciful,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: for they shall what obtain mercy. Amen. If Daniel is
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: saying to nevergan as, if you do these things, there
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: may be a lengthening. In other words, there may be
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a pardoning, and that's what God. That may be a
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: prolonging of judgment. There may be it may be that
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: God will have and God will have mercy if the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: heart is broken, if there's contrition. The Bible says all
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: this verse twenty eight came upon King nebkan Aza, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that the end of twelve months one whole year. Ladies
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, See, just because God speaks, it doesn't necessarily
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: mean he's gonna unless he says it's gonna happen. In
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the case of Jonah going to Nineveh, he said forty days.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: It was forty days, and judgment is coming in this
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: particular case, God didn't say when. And so Never goes
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: about his business, goes about his reign, and you know,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: a time has a way. In some cases, time has
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: a way. And then perhaps some of the other things
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: were happening in this you know, never has built, you know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the hanging walls of Babylon, one of the seven one
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: of the seven wonders of the world, of the ancient world,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the hanging gardens of Babylon. And perhaps during this time
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: he's going about his project and doing all of these
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: things that he's doing, and just marveling at all that
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: is transpiring in this kingdom and this power that he
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: hasn't been I'm not again making this up necessarily, because
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: this is what the Bible says. Twelve months later, he's
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: walking in the palace of the Kingdom of Babylon, and
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the king speaks and says, is not this great Babylon
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that I have built for the house of the Kingdom
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: by the might of my power and for the honor
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: of my majesty and Verse thirty one. While the word
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: was in the king's mouth, perhaps before he even finished speaking.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure it was. Before he finished saying
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: what he was saying. While the word was in his mouth,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: there fell a voice from heaven saying, O King, Nebukanza
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to thee. It is spoken, the kingdom is departed from thee.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Perhaps he had all but forgotten what Daniel revealed to him,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: and that's what pride would do. That's what the darkness
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: would do. That's what that's what happens. Amen, when we
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: again will not heed what God has spoken to us,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: he forgot. Perhaps the kingdom is departed from thee, and
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: they shall drive, drive thee from men, and thy dwellings
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: shall be with the beast of the field. They shall
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: make thee eat grass as option seven times japazz over thee,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: until thou know that the most high rulers in the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: kingdom of Men, and given it to whomsoever he will.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: The same hour was the thing fulfilled with nebukana. He
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: was driven from men ate grass like oxen. His body
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: were grown like eagle's feathers, and his nails like birds claws.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: There's a mental disease couple of them at least that
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I've heard of that attest to this, And the Bible says,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: at the end of the days, those seven years, listen,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: these the worst of this king, this pagan king, that
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: God mercifully spared. He says, I never Canezzar lifted up
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and I, oh, I love this. I got this. This
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: is highlighted in my Bible. And I blessed the most High,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: and I praised and honored him that liveth forever and forever.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: from generation to generation. And all the inhabitants of the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: earth are reputed as nothing. And he doeth according to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: his will in the army of heaven and among the
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay his hand
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: or say unto him, what dost thou. At the same time,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: my reasoning or my senses, my mind returned unto me.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: For the glory of my kingdom, Mine honor and brightness
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: returned unto me, And my counselors and my lords sought
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: unto me. An excellent majesty was added unto me. But listen, listen, listen.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Verse thirty seven. I love it. Last verse now, I
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: never can as praise and extole and honor the King
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: of Heaven, all whose works are truth and his ways judgment,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and those that walk in pride. He is able to abase.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Not only is he able, but the Bible, the Word
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: of God, promises that he will. And so let us,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: if you will give me just one more quick moment,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: take from this these lessons. And there are many, but
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I want to just share seven quick lessons that we
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: need to learn and all men need to take heed of.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Number one. God is watching what we think and what
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: we do. Number two, the whole of our being belongs
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: to God, mind, body, soul, and spirit. Your mind belongs
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to God, and it can be taken from you at
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: any moment, and you'll become a madman. God if he
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: wants to, if he decides to, can turn the hounds
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: of hell again, give you over to a reprobate mind.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: The whole of your being belongs to God. Number three,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: God raises up and God puts down. Never forget it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Number four, All who are in government, all who are
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: in authority, are under the sovereign reign and rule. Of God.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Number five, All who are in authority not only should,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: but must for their own good heed all godly counsel.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: And it's right here in the Holy Scriptures. Number six,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: All who are in authority, all in government, are required
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to do, are commanded to do what is just, what
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: is right. And number seven, Please never forget that no
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: rogue ruler will escape account ability, will escape divine discipline,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: will escape the judgment of God, will escape the wrath
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: of God if they do not repent. So Lord help
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: us today, whether we are in or out of governments.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: May we all know that you reign and your rule
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: in the Kingdom of Men, that you raise up and
