<v Speaker 5>years A beast.

13
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 6>the court's criscribe.

14
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 7>Bye, I want a small scroll written. You'll write it

15
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 7>for me. This is to be posted and heralded in

<v Speaker 7>may i Nebukudnessa the King, And to all people, nations

<v Speaker 7>and languages that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied.

22
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 8>Unto you.

23
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 7>I thought it good to show the signs and wonders

24
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 7>that the God from on high hath wrought towards me.

25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 7>How great are his signs and how mighty are his wonders.

26
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 7>His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is

27
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 7>from generation to generation. I, Nebucandnezzar, was at ease in

28
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 7>my house. I wanted for nothing. I was flourishing with

29
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 7>praise and honor and glory and wealth. I lay down

30
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 7>to sleep, and I dreamed a dream that made me afraid.

31
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 7>And the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of

32
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 7>my head alarm.

33
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Nebukudnezar, wake up, wake up, wake up. You must have

34
00:01:59.159 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>been dreaming.

35
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Who are you?

36
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm the queen and you're at the royal palace.

37
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 7>Remember, Oh, I must have been dreaming. Oh oh, it

38
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 7>was terrible.

39
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>The last time you dreamed you couldn't even remember it. Dan,

40
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>you'll have to tell you what you dreamed.

41
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 7>I remember this one all right, and it was terrible.

42
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 7>He must have some awful meaning.

43
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Your dreams usually do.

44
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Was there an image in this dream?

45
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 7>No? No, no, were worse things than images. And terrible

46
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 7>things happened are so fast I could hardly keep up

47
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 7>with them.

48
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>These terrible things. Did they happen to you?

49
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 7>No? No, not in the dream. But they refer to me.

50
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm sure of that. I've got to know exactly what

51
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 7>it means.

52
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you tell me your dream I'd love to

53
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 2>hear it well.

54
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 7>First of all, I saw a tree, a big tree

55
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 7>that stood in the very center of the earth. The

56
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 7>tree grew and was strong. It grew until the top

57
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 7>of it reached heaven, and it spread out over the

58
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 7>whole earth. The lead of the tree were fair lots

59
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 7>of good fruit, food for all the beasts of the field.

60
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 7>The birds of the air, and the fowls all found

61
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 7>shelter and food under this tree. The tree brought comfort

62
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 7>and happiness to all the earth. Then a holy watcher

63
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 7>came down from out of heaven and cried aloud. I

64
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 7>remember his exact words.

65
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 9>You down the tree and cut off its branches, strip

66
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 9>off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts

67
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 9>flee from under it, and the birds from its branches,

68
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 9>But leave the stump of its roots in the earth,

69
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 9>bound with a band of iron and brass amid the

70
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 9>tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with

71
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 9>the dew of heaven. Let his lot be with the

72
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 9>beasts in the grass of the earth. Let his mind

73
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 9>be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind

74
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 9>be given to him, And let seven times pass over him.

75
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anything so terrible about that dream?

76
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 7>You don't, But what if it refers to me?

77
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>You're the king, order your wise men to interpret the dream,

78
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 2>then you'll know exactly what's going to happen. Why don't

79
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>you send for Daniel.

80
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 7>No, No, I think I'll give the otherwise men a

81
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 7>chance first.

82
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>But they failed before.

83
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 7>Yes, but this time I remember the dream and it

84
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 7>seems so explicit and definite. I'm sure they can interpret it.

85
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 7>I'll give the necessary orders the first thing in the morning.

86
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 7>Right now, I'm going to try to get some more sleep.

87
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 6>Do you have all that scribe, Yes, your majesty.

88
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 7>Therefore, early in the morning I made a decree ordering

89
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 7>all the wise men of Babylon to appear before me,

90
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 7>that they might be told my dream and tell me

91
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 7>the interpretation thereof. Then came in the magicians, the enchanters,

92
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 7>the astrologers, the wise men, wise men, if such you are,

93
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 7>you are all members of my court. You make up

94
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 7>my inner my most trustworthy counsel.

95
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 3>Marvel.

96
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 7>Not that I sent for you, Marve, or rather that

97
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 7>I Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, am forgiving and long suffering.

98
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 7>For indeed, have I forgotten how you fail to tell

99
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 7>me the secret of my last dream.

100
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 3>His Majesty had another dream.

101
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 8>I did tell us the dream, O King, and we

102
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 8>will give you its interpretation.

103
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 7>Well, in my dream, I saw and beheld a tree

104
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 7>in the very midst of the earth and the height thereons.

105
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 7>This is the dream that I dreamed. Therefore, wise, men

106
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 7>give me the ent invitation thereof.

107
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 10>Yes, Sire, we will, your Majesty, Oh, yeah, yes, we will.

108
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 8>Indeed, indeed we will, and if it please His Majesty.

109
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 8>His Majesty remembered the dream unusually well and described it

110
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 8>better than a professional scribe could have done.

111
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 10>Well, that's true, indeed it is, it is, yes, indeed, yes, yes,

112
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 10>But what does this mean?

113
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 3>The dream?

114
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>The dream?

115
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yes, the dream.

116
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 8>Will His Majesty please review again the dream for us.

117
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 7>In my dream I saw and beheld a tree in

118
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 7>the very midst Or you can't interpret it, you're just

119
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 7>stalling for time. But if His Majesty will just relate

120
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 7>it to us, yes, I should have known better than

121
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 7>to trust you. I should have called Daniel. Daniel, your Majesty, Yes, Daniel,

122
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 7>the spirit of the God of Heaven is in him.

<v Speaker 7>He will interpret my dream, So so will we hear,

124
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 7>your majesty, given a little more time.

125
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 8>All we need is a little time to think, I mean,

126
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 8>consolidate our thought.

127
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Lies, lies lie.

128
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.959

135

<v Speaker 7>dream and beheld a tree in the very mets. That

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 7>wise men of my kingdom are not able to make

156
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 7>known unto me the interpretation, but thou art able to Daniel,

157
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 7>for the spirit of the Holy God is in thee.

158
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 6>For a time, Daniel did not speak, but was filled

159
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 6>with alarm as he realized the terrible meaning of the dream.

160
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 11>O King, live forever. The dream thou dreamed is if

161
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 11>it pleases, Majesty, I would rather not tell its meaning.

162
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 7>I gather that the dream means something evil.

163
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Evil for me, my Lord.

164
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 11>The dream is for those that hate you, and the

165
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.639
<v Speaker 11>interpretation for your enemies. Oh is it that bad, O King,

166
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 11>the God of Heaven hath laid upon me the solemn

167
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 11>duty of revealing to you the judgment that is about

168
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.559
<v Speaker 11>to fall upon you because of your pride and arrogant.

169
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 7>I do not permit anyone to talk to me like this.

170
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I am the King.

171
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 7>Oh ah, all right, Daniel, proceed.

172
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 11>I am sorry for all this, your majesty, but I

173
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 11>I must interpret the dream correctly, regardless of what you

174
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 11>may do to me. His Majesty must realize the terrible

175
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 11>import of the dream.

176
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 7>I am afraid I do, Daniel.

177
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 11>The tree that thou sawest, o King, the tree which

178
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 11>grew and was strong, providing shelter and comfort to both

179
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 11>birds and beasts of the earth. That tree, O King,

180
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 11>is you. You have become a great monarch, and your

181
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 11>dominion reaches to the ends of the earth.

182
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Why didn't we think of that?

183
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 11>In your dream? You saw a watcher and an holy

184
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 11>one coming down from heaven, saying, hew down the tree

185
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.559
<v Speaker 11>and destroy it, But leave the stump and its roots

186
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 11>in the earth, bound with a band of iron and brass,

187
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.519
<v Speaker 11>and let his lot be with the beasts of the

188
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 11>field till seven times pass over him.

189
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 7>If the tree represents me, then then what is this

190
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 7>meaning of the hewing down?

191
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 11>Your kingdom shall be taken from you, o King.

192
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 7>But the stump in the roots of the earth. Oh,

193
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.120
<v Speaker 7>what does that mean?

194
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 11>Thy kingdom will not be taken away permanently?

195
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 7>My roots are still there to spring up again.

196
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Is that it?

197
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 11>Yes, your Majesty.

198
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 7>In the dream, he that's me was to eat grass.

199
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 7>His mind was to be changed to a beast's and

200
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 7>the dew of heaven was to wet him until seven

201
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 7>times pass over him. What does all that mean.

202
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 11>Your majesty? You are to dwell with the beasts of

203
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 11>the field.

204
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 7>With the beasts of the field me It.

205
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 11>Is the decree of the Most High God, Your majesty.

206
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 7>How long will I I be.

207
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 11>Like a beast until seven times pass over you? Or

208
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 11>seven years, your majesty, until you come to know that

209
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 11>the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives

210
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 11>it to whom he will. But know this, your majesty,

211
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 11>whereas it was commanded to leave the stump and the

212
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 11>roots of the tree, thy kingdom shall be made sure

213
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 11>for you from the time you know that Heaven rules

214
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 11>even His Majesty's kingdom.

215
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 7>These things, Danuel, are true. There is no altering the

216
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 7>decree of your God.

217
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 11>O King, Let my counsel be acceptable unto you. Break

218
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.600
<v Speaker 11>off your sins by right doing, and your iniquities by

219
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 11>showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may be perhaps

220
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 11>a lengthening of your tranquility.

221
00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 7>If I if I do this, if I leave sinning

222
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 7>and worship the God of Heaven, this terrible thing will

223
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:04.559
<v Speaker 7>not happen to me.

224
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 11>That is the decree from the throne of God. Your majesty,

225
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 11>Just how do I do this?

226
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 3>This right doing? You speak of?

227
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 11>Know this, o King? You are richly blessed with talent

228
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 11>and ambition, kindness and understanding. Yet you have let self indulgence, pride,

229
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.519
<v Speaker 11>and the flattery of your officers cause you to exalt

230
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.360
<v Speaker 11>yourself above the God who has given you life and power.

231
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 11>Repent and follow after the counsel of the God of Heaven,

232
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 11>and the judgment of God will not fall on you.

233
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.159
<v Speaker 7>It shall be done Daniel.

234
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 6>For a time the warning and counsel of Daniel was

235
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 6>heeded by Nebukanezzar, but as the weeks and months passed,

236
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 6>the king indulged his pride until he lost confidence in

237
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 6>Daniel's interpretation of the dream and jested at his former field.

238
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.679
<v Speaker 3>My dear look about you.

239
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 7>What do you see?

240
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 1>What do I see?

241
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Many things, beautiful things, the lofty and mighty walls of Babylon,

242
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>unrivaled in the world. I see magnificent buildings, well ordered streets,

243
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.159
<v Speaker 2>happy people. In short, my dear husband and King, I

244
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>see Babylon, Babylon, the city beautiful, the city that is

245
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the wonder and marvel of the world.

246
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 7>And what does it all signify? Babylon, everything around you,

247
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 7>these hanging gardens, the palace, everything well.

248
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 2>To me, my lord, it means that that God of

249
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Heaven has given you outstanding talents. He has accorded you

250
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>rule over the most powerful nation in the world. He

251
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>has blessed and is blessing.

252
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 7>You say that again, please, the.

253
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 2>God of Heaven has given me.

254
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 7>That's what I thought you said. The God of Heaven

255
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 7>hasn't done a thing for me. I did it myself.

256
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.200
<v Speaker 7>I built Babylon. I expanded my kingdom to the four

257
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 7>corners of the earth. I and I alone did it.

258
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>But I thought you told Daniel it was his God.

259
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 7>It doesn't make any difference what I told Daniel that

260
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 7>was weeks ago. Now I see that it wasn't any

261
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 7>one but me, Me, King nebhuw Kadnezzar, Ruler of the Earth,

262
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:15.159

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.039

292
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 6>Number Kodneszer, king of Bablon, was determined in his heart

293
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.159
<v Speaker 6>to obey the advice of Daniel and follow after the

294
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 6>righteousness of God. But as the weeks and months passed,

295
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 6>they can indulged his pride until he lost confidence in

296

<v Speaker 6>Daniel's interpretation of the dream and jested at his former fears.

<v Speaker 8>I know what he wants, and just about what he

307
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:46.879
<v Speaker 8>is going to say, almost his exact words, Wise men, counselors,

308
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 8>he will say, I have decided to re establish the

309
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.679
<v Speaker 8>worship of our own Babylonian God.

310
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.600
<v Speaker 3>What gives you the idea that his Majesty's going to say.

311
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.240
<v Speaker 8>That these things are religious? And I know religion. I

312
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 8>am the high priest. His majesty grows weary of being

313
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 8>subservient to Daniel and Daniel's God. The King's appetite for

314
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 8>self indulgence and ambition are now reappearing. He will soon

315
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 8>be his old self again, and with the proper help

316
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.519
<v Speaker 8>from us, the King will be even more anxious to

317
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 8>receive personal glory and exaltation. I can practically hear the

318
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 8>King as he greets us with his changed attitude. Wise men, astrologers, counselors,

319
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:35.240
<v Speaker 8>you are assembled here because I ordered it.

320
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 7>You are the You are the Crown's official counselors. Know this.

321
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 7>I am still King of Babylon. I am still master

322
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 7>of my own destiny. I pay and pay homage.

323
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 3>To no one.

324
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 7>I am weary of heeding the counsel of Daniel and

325
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 7>worship in his God. Henceforth, I shall heed my own counsel,

326
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 7>and obey my own words, and worship our own God.

327
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Long live the King.

328
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.440
<v Speaker 6>Just one year from the day King Nebuchadnezzar had had

329
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.559
<v Speaker 6>a dream, he was proudly walking in the royal palace.

330
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 7>I have made an important decision.

331
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 3>Chief counselor, is your master?

332
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.240
<v Speaker 7>Has there ever been a monarch with more power than

333
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 7>I possessed.

334
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Never, your majesty, that man not the.

335
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.599
<v Speaker 7>Greatest builder of all time.

336
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 10>Even Nimrod, with his Tower of Babel, knew nothing whatsoever

337
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 10>about building, compared to you, your magicy.

338
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:43.039
<v Speaker 7>Oh, my dear wise man. I shall therefore exhibit my

339
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.599
<v Speaker 7>greatness for all the world to admire. Whereas I have

340
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 7>been given to kindness, justice and mercy, I shall become

341
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.279
<v Speaker 7>hard oppressive. I shall tax my people far beyond what

342
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.880
<v Speaker 7>they have known in the past, and I shall use

343
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.720
<v Speaker 7>the proceeds to build the greatest monumental grow greatness any

344
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:06.440
<v Speaker 7>man ever dreamed of. I shall build another hanging garden.

345
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Another one, your majesty.

346
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.160
<v Speaker 10>Yes, but your majesty, you've already built the most beautiful

347
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.599
<v Speaker 10>hanging garden all but none.

348
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Like this one.

349
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 7>It shaly a wonder of the world, a monument to me,

350
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 7>nebucad Nessar, Monarch of the world.

351
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 10>Yes, your majesty, long live the King. Is not this

352
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 10>great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power

353
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 10>as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty.

354
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 9>O King nebucad Nessar. The appointed time of thy judgment

355
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 9>has come. The kingdom is departed from thee. They shall

356
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 9>drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with

357
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 9>the beasts of the field. They shall make thee to

358
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 9>eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over

359
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.920
<v Speaker 9>the until thou know that the Most High ruleth in

360
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 9>the kingdoms of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

361
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 10>Your majesty, your majesty will the thunder the lighting did it?

362
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.160
<v Speaker 3>But more like a like a mighty voice from him,

363
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 3>and your majesty, what's the matter? Get away? Get away

364
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 3>scribe God, God, help.

365
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.960
<v Speaker 10>Your majesty get away from wrong here, sir.

366
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.680
<v Speaker 11>Yes, God, his majesty is something wrong with his.

367
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.200
<v Speaker 10>Majesty, so he's suddenly gone bersirk, insane, grabby.

368
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Man, Sir, I'm not touching it.

369
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 10>Call your man then, and have him catch his majesty

370
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.720
<v Speaker 10>and take him inside the palace.

371
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 3>I can't, sir. Strict orders.

372
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 11>We are never to touch the person of his Majesty

373
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 11>upon pain.

374
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.640
<v Speaker 10>Of death, but we must not let his majesty be

375
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:58.000
<v Speaker 10>seen in this condition.

376
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, sir.

377
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Then close the gates and doors.

378
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.000
<v Speaker 10>Will you'll be confined to this portion of the palace

379
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.640
<v Speaker 10>and gardens, Yes, sir, do so. It was Yes, sir,

380
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 10>I'll call an emergency meeting of the council.

381
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Are the facts, gentlemen? What is to be done about it?

382
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 8>You say? He suddenly went insane, wildly insane.

383
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:31.559
<v Speaker 12>His Majesty's eyes turned cold, cruel, his fingers curled up

384
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.319
<v Speaker 12>like claws, and he began acting like a mediaca.

385
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Speaker 3>An animal.

386
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.279
<v Speaker 8>Could it be? Could it be the fulfillment of the

387
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:41.799
<v Speaker 8>decree of Daniel's guard?

388
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 12>Well I thought about that too, But no, no, no, no, no,

389
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.759
<v Speaker 12>it can't be. And may I remind you that we

390
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.680
<v Speaker 12>are here to decide what to do about his majesty,

391
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.039
<v Speaker 12>not why or how it happened.

392
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 8>And according to our law there is nothing we can do.

393
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 8>We don't dare dethrone neb and put some of our

394
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 8>own number on the throne. On the other hand, it

395
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 8>is obvious he can't rule in his present condition.

396
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:10.920
<v Speaker 3>It also seems unwise to let his majesty be seen.

397
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 3>Soon it would be known far and wide enough, our influence.

398
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 10>On world affairs would cease, Egypt would rebel tired to

399
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 10>the Armenia that all rebell and Babylon as a world

400
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:23.880
<v Speaker 10>empire would end.

401
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 8>We must avoid that by all means. But how in

402
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 8>interpreting the dream, did not Daniel tell nebuchad Nezer that

403
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 8>he would live as a beast with the beast.

404
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 3>That would solve our problem.

405
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:43.880
<v Speaker 8>Also, my dear fellows, his Majesty might not survive eating

406
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 8>and sleeping with beasts. It would then be up to

407
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 8>us to name his successor. Ah ha ha ha, all.

408
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.160
<v Speaker 10>In favor of driving his majesty out of Babylon and

409
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 10>onto the wild beasts. So signify, first.

410
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Wyant the fish biting?

411
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 9>Father, want to quit and go home?

412
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>No, not yet, I want to catch at least one fish.

413
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 9>Well, we'll stay an hour longer, all right, then we'll go.

414
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, father, Look what is that?

415
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.279
<v Speaker 9>What is what that animal? Well, I don't know. Looks

416
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 9>like almost like a man.

417
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:54.799
<v Speaker 1>It's eating grass like a cow, and has long claws

418
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 1>like a bird. It's in all fours like a lion.

419
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 3>No, I know what it is. It is a man.

420
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 9>That my son is the king of our great Babylon,

421
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 9>King Nebuchadnezzar.

422
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.599
<v Speaker 1>How could that thing be king?

423
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 9>He doesn't actually rule now, not since he's been in

424
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 9>that condition as long as he lives.

425
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Though he is king, it's the law.

426
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>How did he get that?

427
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:24.079
<v Speaker 9>Way he's being punished, so it said, seems as though

428
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.519
<v Speaker 9>he took all the credit to himself for building up

429
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 9>the great Kingdom of Babylon. He wouldn't admit that the

430
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 9>Most High God rules the kingdom of men and gives

431
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 9>it to whom he will. So God humbled him.

432
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 1>A god did that? Do gods really have that much power?

433
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:46.160
<v Speaker 9>It seems that Daniel's God, the God of creation does.

434
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.599
<v Speaker 6>In spite of all that Nebucannezzar's counselors could do, the

435
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.680
<v Speaker 6>world soon learned of the king's plight. For seven years,

436
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.160
<v Speaker 6>the world knew and marveled. For seven years, the once

437
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:04.319
<v Speaker 6>mighty monarch slept eight and lived with the beasts of

438
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 6>the field. At the end of the seven years.

439
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:21.799
<v Speaker 7>I'd heard my names like claws, my skin, animal's skin,

440
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 7>the dream Daniel, I was wrong. The God of Heaven

441
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 7>does rule in the dominions of men. Him maketh kings,

442
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:39.799
<v Speaker 7>he taketh away, he creates, he destroys, great and mighty.

443
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:43.119
<v Speaker 3>Is the Most High High. Honor and praise him.

444
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:47.920
<v Speaker 7>His kingdom is from generation to generation, forever and never.

445
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.880
<v Speaker 7>The God of Heaven doeth according to his will in

446
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 7>heaven and among the inhabitants of earth, and none can

447
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.680
<v Speaker 7>stay his hand. Great and mighty is thy name, O,

448
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.559
<v Speaker 7>God of Daniel. I thank THEE for the might of

449
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 7>thy power and the justice I hear.

450
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>The king is back, restored desanity.

451
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Nebulkaanzar is back. Now we'll have a king again.

452
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Nebukan Nezzar is return.

453
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.000
<v Speaker 11>He's sane once again. He sits on the throne of Babylon.

454
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 3>He got that today. Long live the King of Nemican Nezzer.

455
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 3>He's really back.

456
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.680
<v Speaker 8>Yes, he got back today, and he's sane. He's his

457
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 8>old self again, ambitious, full of energy, wise and understanding.

458

<v Speaker 3>Are we still his special counselor?

459
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 8>That remains to be seen?

460
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Is that why the special assembly is called in a session?

461
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:52.319
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

462
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 8>No, His majesty the King has called a general assembly

463
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:59.000

<v Speaker 13>King Nebukanazzar, will himself make an important announcement.

466
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:25.559
<v Speaker 7>Lovely, I Nebukdanezzar, King of Babylon, take this opportunity to

467
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.039

468
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 7>Heaven is mighty and just. His works are truth, his

469
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:39.279
<v Speaker 7>ways are just. I walked in pride, but he humbled me.

470
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.039

472

473
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:59.480
<v Speaker 6>goodness and authority of God, was the last act of

474
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.519
