1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Let us pray, and at the end of the days, 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: I Nebukenezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: understanding returned unto me Daniel four. Three. Lord, as you 4 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: elevate my life, increase also the humility in which I 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: live by help me to continually understand that everything I 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: have is a result of your goodness and not of 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: me being in control. Continue to put check points in 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: my life that will alert me when my heart is 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: becoming prideful and conceited. Protect me from the madness that 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: can occur when I think that my splendor and open 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: doors around me came from my strength and by my 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: wisdom alone. May my life serve as a billboard that 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: publicly displays and proclaims your goodness to every one who 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: sees me. I acknowledge today that it is you and 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: you alone that brings fulfillment and success into my life. 16 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: When I lose focus, I will thank you in advance 17 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: for realigning me, like Nebudknezzar in Daniel four, so that 18 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: I can see you with a clear and sober mind. 19 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Today I thank you that the beast of pride and 20 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: arrogance has been overcome by the precious power of your 21 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

I'm really glad that 43 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 5: you've joined us today. In our last reading, we heard 44 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 5: about how God protected Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo from the 45 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 5: fiery furnace. They refuse to bend or to bow to 46 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 5: the king's idol, and God use their faithfulness to make 47 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 5: his glory known once again to Babylonian's king. In today's reading, 48 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: we'll learn how nebukan Azer is humbled by the Almighty God, 49 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 5: with whom he continues to wrestle. His descent into madness 50 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 5: like an animal, will finally bring him to a point 51 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 5: of confession and acceptance that there is no other God 52 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 5: but Yahweh the Lord. Let's listen now to the reading 53 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 5: of God's word. 54 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 4: Nebekan, as a ruler of the ancient world, conqueror of kingdoms, 55 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: and slayer of king's came in contact with the Living God. 56 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 4: He learned from the wisdom and favor of Daniel. He 57 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: witnessed God protect Shadrak, Mishak and abd Nago from the 58 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 4: fiery furnace. So the Mighty king praised the Lord of 59 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: heaven and Earth. He sent it a cree forth to 60 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: the people of Babylon, saying he is the most High God. 61 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 4: His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Yet the mind of 62 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 4: King Neberconezza was still fogged by years of pride and warmongering. 63 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 4: He knew of God's mighty works, but had not yet 64 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 4: come in contact with the personal reformation of his spirit. 65 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 4: The king would soon learn the weight of God's power. 66 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 4: It was late, the night was heavy upon the horizon. 67 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 4: Clouds covered the stars above, and the east. Wind blew 68 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 4: violently through the valley. Thunder rolled in from the distance, 69 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 4: and the city was stirring. Beneath, King Neberconezzer tossed and 70 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 4: turned in his bed, tormented by yet another dream. He 71 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: saw a tree sprouting forth from the earth. Its height 72 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: was tremendous, and its trunk was strong. Its branches reached 73 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: beyond the clouds for all the world to see. Its 74 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 4: leaves were deep and beautiful green. Its fruit was abundant 75 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 4: and provided food for all the lands below it. Animals 76 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: found refuge in its shade, and the birds of the 77 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: air made its nest in it. The king watched as 78 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 4: the heavens opened up around it, and a voice boomed 79 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 4: from the skies, saying, chop the tree to the ground, 80 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: strip its leaves, and scatter its fruit, but leave the 81 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: stump and bind it with iron. Let it dwell with 82 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 4: the beasts and become like them. So King Nebuconezzer watched 83 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 4: as the mighty tree was sliced by the mighty hand 84 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 4: of God, and its body fell to the earth, shaking 85 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: it for miles. The king woke up in a terror. 86 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: He was sweating and could not get the image of 87 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: the tree's lifeless stump out of his mind. The king 88 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 4: sent for his wisest counselor Daniel. He described the dream 89 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 4: in great length, leaving no detail out. Daniel listened intently 90 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: to the king, growing more and more concerned with each detail. 91 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: The king was frantic as he described the dream. Something 92 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 4: in his mind had snapped, and it was clear what 93 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: was about to happen. The king could sense the look 94 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 4: of alarm on Daniel's face. Do not be frightened, the 95 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 4: king said, tell me what it means. I pray that 96 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 4: this dream is for your enemies and not for you. 97 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: Daniel said, softly, however, that may not be the case, 98 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 4: Daniel sat the king down and began to interpret its 99 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: meaning for him. The mighty tree is you, my king. 100 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 4: Your greatness has spread across the land. Your kingdom is 101 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 4: the source of food and shelter for all on the earth. However, 102 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 4: the stump. 103 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: Is also you. 104 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: You will be humbled, my king. You shall be driven 105 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 4: to the wilderness, because you have yet to learn of 106 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 4: true humility. You have yet to understand that it is 107 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 4: God who raises a king. Yes, you know of God now, 108 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: but you still oppress and murder. You seek your own gain, 109 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 4: and you destroy all you desire. Turn from this, and 110 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: there may be hope for you. King neber Canzza smiled 111 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: at Daniel and sent him away. He feigned repentance, he 112 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: feigned benevolence. However, the king continued to do all that 113 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: seemed good in his eyes. He was consumed with self worship. 114 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: A year had passed and the king was walking on 115 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: the rooftops of his palace. The sun was peeking over 116 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: the horizon, and his entire country was painted with beautiful 117 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: colors of gold and white. He breathed in the fresh 118 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: air and said, look at all I have built with 119 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 4: my majesty. While the words were dancing out of the 120 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 4: king's mouth. A voice fell upon him from heaven, neber Canzar, 121 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: your kingdom shall be stripped from you. You shall dwell 122 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: with the beasts until you truly know that it is 123 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 4: the most High who rules all kingdoms. And in that 124 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: instant a madness came upon the king. He writhed and 125 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: panted like a dog, and his mind wandered into a 126 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 4: place of true insanity. He ran like an animal into 127 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: the wilderness and lived among the beasts. Over time, his 128 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 4: hair grew long, and his nails grew like claws. He 129 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,559 Speaker 4: ate grass like an ox, and was greasy and wet 130 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: with the filth of the earth. For seven years, niber 131 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: Canezza was mad like an animal. His beastly demeanor revealed 132 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: the sickness that had been in his heart all along. 133 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: He was a beast of a king. He followed every 134 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: debased desire that came into his heart. He murdered and stole, 135 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 4: He raped, and he pillaged. He was a beast. Long 136 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: before the madness, many years had passed, and neber Canezza 137 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: was wandering the forest in the coolness of the morning. 138 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 4: He was ravaging on plants and berries. When the sun 139 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: peered in through the tree tops. The beast lifted his 140 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: eyes towards the sun, and the warmth of God's mercy 141 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 4: saturated him. His mind began to clear. He saw God 142 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 4: for who he truly was, generous and marvelous. Neber Caanza 143 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: emerged from the wilderness, and his throne was restored to him. 144 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 4: He now ruled with a clearer mind. His reason had 145 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 4: returned to him, and he used his newfound wisdom to 146 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 4: rule with humility. 147 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 5: Today's scripture begins with the reminder of all God had 148 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 5: already done to make himself known to King nebkan Ezra, 149 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 5: the strength and wisdom of the young men like Daniel 150 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 5: who served God. How God had protected the men in 151 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: the furnace, even the king's own decree that the people 152 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 5: would worship only the Lord. And yet even with all 153 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 5: of this, nebuican Azar's heart was not where it should be. 154 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 5: God ultimately does not look to our words or outward 155 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 5: appearance of belief. He looks to the heart, straight to 156 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 5: the heart, and nebican Azarik's heart was still focused on 157 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 5: his own interest and his personal glory. He was full 158 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,479 Speaker 5: of pride. So once more we find the king disturbed 159 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 5: with a dream, he saw a great tree that gave 160 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 5: shade and food to all the animals. It stretched out 161 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 5: far and wide, a majestic sight. But then God's voice 162 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 5: came down from heaven, commanding the tree to be cut down, 163 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 5: its stump and roots bound to the ground, where it 164 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 5: would remain to live with animals and plants. But then 165 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 5: God's voice came down from heaven, commanding that the tree 166 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 5: be cut down, but its stump and roots bound to 167 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 5: the ground, where it would remain to live with the 168 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 5: animals and plants. The dream clearly symbolized someone, and the 169 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 5: king was greatly troubled. He first called his wise men 170 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 5: and astrologers, but they had no answers, so he summoned Daniel, 171 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 5: who received the interpretation from God. He told NEBEKANAZERI that 172 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 5: the tree was the king himself. His vast empire was 173 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 5: indeed majestic, providing for people the world over, but the 174 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 5: king needed pruning. His lust for power and praise were 175 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 5: clouding his vision, and though he seeing God work and 176 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: even had some appearance of belief, Nebuganazar had yet to 177 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: acknowledge the supremacy of God and submit truly to him. 178 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 5: Because of this, he would be driven away from society, 179 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 5: forced to live like a wild animal. His mind would 180 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 5: go mad and his outward state would mimic his inward baseness. 181 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 5: But God, in his mercy, would restore the kingdom to 182 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 5: Nevicanazar when he recognized God for who he was and 183 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 5: humbled himself before him. The king heard the interpretation, but 184 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 5: did not change his heart. One year later, as he 185 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 5: was walking on the roof of his palace, filled with 186 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 5: pride for his accomplishments, God's word came to pass. Just 187 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: as Daniel said. The king was overtaken by madness, and 188 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 5: for seven years he lived like a beast of the field, 189 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 5: until finally he looked to the heavens and his sanity returned. 190 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 5: God had broken this man, but this was not an 191 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 5: act of cruelty. It was a work of grace, the 192 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 5: reaching out of a loving God to bring this man 193 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 5: to himself. Though he was not an Israelite nebgan As 194 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: there was created for the purposes of God, and it 195 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 5: had always been God's heart for every person, including this man, 196 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 5: to turn to him. Here we see our great God 197 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 5: going to great links to reach one man. This man 198 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 5: had such great power and influence that his life would 199 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 5: have tremendous repercussions and echoes throughout all of history. Nebgan 200 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 5: Ez testified to God's greatness, and in Daniel four thirty 201 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 5: four we read some of his words about the Lord. 202 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 5: His dominion is an eternal dominion. His kingdom endures from 203 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 5: generation to generation. At last, the king had humbled himself 204 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 5: before the Lord, and just as God had promised, the 205 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 5: kingdom was restored to him. The ripple effects of his 206 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 5: transformation would be felt in the Babylonian kingdom and even 207 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 5: beyond in the centuries to follow. Dear God, we are 208 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 5: reminded in this story that you will go to great 209 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 5: links to bring us to yourself. Lord.
