00:01 Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:02 Come on in, we're about to meet with the King.
00:39 Welcome to another day with the King.
00:41 I'm Aunty Leah,
00:42 and it's so good to have you share in our worship time
00:45 as we commence the Sabbath day.
00:47 Hello, Uncle Daniel, and to all our helpers,
00:50 it's so wonderful
00:51 how you help out with our worship time.
00:53 Hello, Aunty Leah, and hello, children.
00:55 Would anyone like to share a blessing
00:57 they've had this week?
00:58 Yeah, my cousin, she just had a baby.
01:02 That's lovely, God is so good, isn't He?
01:05 Let's start our worship with a prayer.
01:07 Who would like to do that for us?
01:08 I would.
01:09 Thanks, Jeremiah.
01:11 Dear Lord, please turn our minds to You
01:14 as we worship You.
01:15 Bless the boys and girls who have joined us,
01:17 in Jesus' name, amen.
01:20 Amen. Thank you, Jeremiah.
01:23 Aunty Leah, what Bible gem do you have for us today?
01:26 Well, last week we learned about
01:29 more details of parts of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream,
01:32 didn't we?
01:33 Remember, Babylon was just about to be conquered,
01:37 so God focused on telling Daniel
01:39 about future kingdoms,
01:40 that's why he started the vision with Medo-Persia.
01:44 We've learned that horns can represent kings
01:47 or kingdoms.
01:48 The ram-bear represented who?
01:50 Medo-Persia.
01:52 Then Greece was the he-goat, with the big notable horn
01:57 representing King Alexandra the Great,
01:59 who conquered Medo-Persia.
02:01 What happened to that big horn?
02:03 It was broken.
02:05 And what came up in its place?
02:07 Four small horns.
02:09 Yes, four of Alexander's generals
02:12 ruled after his death,
02:14 but they were much less powerful
02:15 than King Alexander.
02:17 Then, we have the dragon like beast
02:20 cruel pagan Rome.
02:22 The ten horns are like the ten toes
02:24 of King Nebuchadnezzar's image.
02:26 Horns represent?
02:28 Kings or kingdoms.
02:30 Yes, the Roman Empire
02:32 broke into ten less powerful kingdoms.
02:35 Then a little horn kingdom
02:37 arose and out rooted three out of the ten.
02:40 This kingdom grew till it became very great.
02:44 We know from history, that's exactly what happened
02:47 in the centuries following the time
02:49 when Jesus lived on earth.
02:51 There's much more to learn about the little horn kingdom
02:54 in the books of Daniel and Revelation.
02:57 When we study Revelation,
02:58 we will all know about this power
03:00 because it still exists today.
03:03 Bryce, would you like
03:04 to find our Bible gem for us today?
03:10 Wow, that's lovely.
03:12 What verse goes with that?
03:16 Luke 24:27.
03:18 This verse talks about Jesus.
03:21 Janina, would you please read that?
03:31 "And beginning at Moses and all of the Prophets,
03:34 He expounded to them in all the Scriptures
03:39 the things concerning Himself."
03:42 Yes. Thank you, Janina.
03:43 Jesus explained to His followers
03:45 how many of the prophecies in the Old Testament
03:48 pointed to Him and His work on earth for their salvation.
03:52 There are hundreds of them.
03:54 Later in our Bible study,
03:55 we'll learn about the prophecy God gave to Daniel in a vision
03:59 that predicted the exact time
04:01 when Jesus would begin His ministry on earth.
04:05 And Jesus did just as prophesied.
04:08 It would be scientifically and mathematically impossible
04:12 for so many predictions to be correct
04:14 about one person just by chance.
04:17 Bryce, would you like to find the last clue in our jewel box?
04:25 "If a prophecy is repeated and more details given,
04:28 it is a sign that it is very important."
04:31 Okay, that means we should study it carefully
04:34 until we understand what God is telling us.
04:37 He's always trying to help us
04:39 and strengthen our trust in Him.
04:41 We can trust God in everything,
04:43 just like Daniel and his three friends did.
04:47 Wow, thanks, Aunty Leah.
04:48 It's so important to remember that
04:51 all of these prophecies point to Jesus,
04:55 what He is doing
04:56 and what He is going to do for us.
04:58 We have so much to be thankful for.
05:01 Uncle Daniel, I'm ready to sing some songs.
05:04 I am too.
05:05 That's a good thing too
05:07 because Braedan is here to join us.
05:08 Hi, Uncle Daniel, and hi all of you as well.
05:11 It's now the Sabbath
05:12 and let's begin with a Sabbath song called
05:15 "It's the Sabbath."
05:22 It's the Sabbath, it's the Sabbath
05:25 We will worship as we sing
05:28 For our God has come to join us
05:30 Let us spend time with our King
05:33 It's the Sabbath, it's the Sabbath
05:35 We will all sing and rejoice
05:38 As we leave our week behind us
05:40 And we praise God with one voice
05:43 For God's day is the seventh day
05:46 Of ev'ry week we know
05:49 He gave us time to spend with Him
05:51 Because he loves us so
05:53 It's the Sabbath, it's the Sabbath
05:56 Do you hear Him call today
05:59 As we come here now to worship Him
06:02 On His appointed day
06:05 Braedan, can we please sing "Dare to be a Daniel?"
06:08 Oh, that is such a good song choice,
06:10 Uncle Daniel, this is your song.
06:12 Let's sing it together.
06:17 Standing by a purpose true Heeding God's command
06:23 Honor them, the faithful few!
06:25 All hail to Daniel's band!
06:29 Dare to be a Daniel Dare to stand alone!
06:34 Dare to have a purpose firm!
06:37 Dare to make it known
06:40 Many mighty men are lost Daring not to stand
06:46 Who for God had been a host By joining Daniel's band
06:52 Dare to be a Daniel Dare to stand alone!
06:57 Dare to have a purpose firm!
07:00 Dare to make it known
07:04 Braedan, Can we sing "The Books are Open?"
07:06 Jireh, that's a great choice.
07:08 This song's based out of Daniel Chapter 8.
07:15 Oh there were two thousand, three hundred days
07:20 For the people to learn of God's ways
07:25 At the end of this time God would draw a great big line
07:30 And then He said the judgment would begin
07:34 The books are open It is the time of the end
07:39 But we don't have to fear Because the Judge is our friend
07:43 The books are open
07:46 And Jesus' arms are open wide
07:50 Our God's a God of love
07:53 He's on our side
07:57 Thanks, Braedan, I enjoyed the song about Daniel.
08:00 Now let's find out what story
08:01 Dr. John has for us in his study.
08:04 Hello, boys and girls.
08:05 I'm Dr. John, and I'm so happy to see you again.
08:09 And I'm looking at the boys and girls
08:10 who are with us in their television sets.
08:14 So good to have you too.
08:16 I want to tell you a story about a clock
08:19 which did something
08:21 that no clock is ever supposed to do.
08:24 As this clock in the city of Plymouth in England
08:28 and it's called the Great Plymouth clock
08:33 or the Derry clock.
08:35 And one night at midnight, it started to bong
08:40 once, twice, three, four, five.
08:45 There was only two people in the whole square
08:47 because everybody was in bed.
08:50 Nine, ten, eleven,
08:54 twelve, thirteen,
08:58 and one man, Captain Jemison turned to the other
09:01 and he said, "Did you hear that?
09:04 The clock struck 13,
09:07 and the other man said he did too.
09:11 And off they went.
09:13 And you know, a few months later,
09:16 Captain Jarvis couldn't sleep.
09:21 He got up and he thought,
09:22 "Well, I better have a shower and get going."
09:26 And so he had a shower, and he went downstairs
09:30 and there was the groom with a horse.
09:32 And he said,
09:34 "What made you get up so early?"
09:36 "Sir, I couldn't sleep."
09:40 And I thought, "Well, I'll get the horse ready."
09:43 "Well, that's good."
09:44 So he got on the horse
09:47 and he trotted along and he thought,
09:49 "This will come to an end because we'll get to the river
09:52 and the ferryman will be asleep."
09:56 But when he got there,
09:57 the ferryman was there with the ferry
10:01 and he said, "Why you are here?"
10:04 "I couldn't sleep last night.
10:07 And so I thought, I better get the ferry ready
10:09 in case somebody comes."
10:11 So he went across on the ferry.
10:13 And he said to the horse, I don't know where we're going.
10:17 And the horse said nothing.
10:20 So he let go of the reins
10:21 and the horse just walked along,
10:25 until it came to a town.
10:28 He got off the horse, and he said to somebody
10:31 what's happening in town today.
10:33 Oh!
10:34 Today is the big day of the trial for murder.
10:38 Are you going to see it?
10:39 He said, "Well, I don't know why I'm here."
10:42 And he wandered into the courthouse.
10:45 Now, the old fashioned courthouses in England,
10:49 the judge wore a wig
10:52 and there is a judge's wig.
10:58 And there he was sitting,
11:01 and Captain Jarvis arrived there just as
11:06 the judge was doing this.
11:11 In the old days,
11:13 when the judge took a little square of black cloth
11:18 and put it on his head like that,
11:21 that meant he was about to sentence somebody to die.
11:27 And this man was convicted of murder,
11:31 and the judge said, "Prisoner at the bar,
11:33 is there anything you want to say?"
11:37 He said, "Sir, I know I wasn't where the murder took place.
11:42 The only thing I can say is, one man was standing with me
11:47 when the great Derry clock struck 13 times at midnight.
11:52 He's the only one who can save my life.
11:56 And Captain Jarvis stood up and said, Your Honor,
12:01 hold the court, take your black cap off,
12:05 I'm the man, I was there,
12:10 and his life was saved.
12:12 That was a miracle,
12:15 and you know, folks,
12:17 we're all under sentence of death.
12:20 And there is nothing that could possibly save us
12:23 except the Lord Jesus Christ.
12:27 He did far worse than Captain Jarvis
12:29 who got up in the middle of the night,
12:32 he allowed himself to take the place
12:35 of all the guilty people.
12:38 And it's good that when we get to the kingdom
12:40 and God will be his judge.
12:42 When He sees us,
12:44 He won't be wearing the black cap
12:46 and said, "He will welcome us to the kingdom of heaven."
12:49 Do you like that story?
12:51 I love it. Thank you, boys and girls.
12:54 It's time for our Bible study.
12:56 Today, we'll see how the prophecy showed
12:59 that Jesus is indeed the Messiah, our Savior.
13:03 Chemiah, would you please pray to open our Bible study?
13:06 Sure.
13:08 Dear Jesus, please help us to understand what we read
13:12 and please make our trust in You strong
13:14 as we study the prophecies in Daniel,
13:16 in Jesus' name, amen.
13:19 Thank you, Chemiah.
13:20 Jireh, what did we learn about last week?
13:24 We learned about the longest time prophecy in the Bible.
13:26 Yes, that's right.
13:28 And do you remember how long that prophecy was?
13:31 Two thousand, three hundred years.
13:33 Yes.
13:34 Remember last week, we read that Daniel fainted
13:37 before the Angel Gabriel could explain
13:39 the prophetic 2300 days.
13:42 In Chapter 9 of Daniel, Gabriel comes back
13:45 to explain more of Daniel's vision
13:47 described in Chapter 8.
13:48 Today, we'll find out the start and end dates
13:51 for the 2300 day prophecy.
13:54 But we have some other things to discover first.
13:57 Let's open our Bibles to Daniel Chapter 9.
14:00 Daniel has been studying the scriptures.
14:02 He knew from Jeremiah's prophecy
14:04 that God's people would be delivered
14:06 after 70 years of captivity.
14:09 Daniel calculated that the promised deliverance
14:12 was only a couple of years away.
14:14 So he prayed earnestly
14:16 for the deliverance of his people.
14:18 Bethany, would you please read verse 18,
14:21 which is close to the end of Daniel's humbled prayer?
14:26 O my God, incline Your ear and hear,
14:29 open Your eyes and see our desolations,
14:31 and the city which is called by Your name,
14:33 for we do not present our supplications before You
14:35 because of our righteous deeds,
14:37 but because of Your great mercies."
14:40 Daniel knew it was God's reputation at stake,
14:44 not just the Israelites, they'd let God down.
14:47 They failed to be living examples of God's love
14:50 and truth in the world.
14:51 But God was so merciful,
14:53 He gave them another opportunity
14:55 to enjoy the freedom that only God can provide.
14:59 God heard Daniel's prayer
15:01 and sent Gabriel to comfort him.
15:03 Jireh, would you please read verse 23?
15:08 "At the beginning of your supplications
15:10 the command went out, and I have come to tell you,
15:15 for you are greatly beloved, therefore consider the matter,
15:18 and understand the vision."
15:20 How comforting to be told by an angel
15:23 that you are greatly loved in heaven.
15:26 Gabriel went on to explain more about the vision in verse 24.
15:31 Can you please continue, Bryce?
15:36 "Seventy weeks are determined for your people
15:38 and for your holy city, to finish the transgression,
15:41 to make an end of sins,
15:43 to make reconciliation for iniquity,
15:49 to bring in everlasting righteousness,
15:51 to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy."
15:56 That's a lot to take in, isn't it?
15:58 Well, let's break it down,
16:00 so that we can understand what is being said.
16:03 How many days in 70 weeks?
16:06 Four hundred and ninety days.
16:09 Yes.
16:11 And how long does 490 days represent in prophetic time?
16:16 Four hundred and ninety years.
16:18 That's right.
16:20 This verse says that
16:21 these 490 years were determined or cut off.
16:25 Now the question is, cut off from what?
16:28 Well, cut off from the larger 2300 years
16:32 that we learned about in Chapter 8.
16:35 During this 490 year period,
16:37 the Israelites were to prove their worthiness to remain
16:41 God's chosen people.
16:43 This verse talks about the Most Holy or Messiah
16:46 which is another name for Jesus.
16:49 The name Messiah means anointed.
16:51 Anointed refers to a ritual of consecrating
16:54 or setting aside someone for a special work.
16:58 In this case, Jesus,
16:59 the Most Holy or Messiah was anointed at His baptism
17:03 by the Holy Spirit
17:05 who appeared in the form of a dove
17:06 that rested on Jesus.
17:08 We need to find out
17:10 when these 490 years of Jewish probation began.
17:13 If we discovered this date,
17:15 we will also know the starting date
17:18 for the 2300 years.
17:21 Verse 25 reveals the starting date.
17:25 Would you read the first part of verse 25,
17:28 please Chemiah?
17:30 "Know therefore and understand,
17:32 that from the going forth of the command
17:34 to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince,
17:38 there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks."
17:42 Thanks, Chemiah.
17:43 History and the Bible tell us there were three decrees
17:47 made by the kings of Medo-Persia
17:49 in relation to Jerusalem.
17:51 We'll learn more about these over the coming weeks.
17:54 The third decree commanded that Jerusalem be rebuilt,
17:58 and self government restored.
18:00 King Artaxerxes made this decree
18:03 in 457 BC.
18:06 You can read about that in Ezra Chapter 7.
18:10 Four hundred and ninety years
18:13 takes us to the fall of autumn 34 AD.
18:18 We don't have a zero year
18:20 when we calculate a calendar year.
18:22 How many weeks is seven weeks plus 62 weeks?
18:27 Sixty nine weeks.
18:30 That's right.
18:31 And how many days did you work out
18:34 to be in 69 weeks?
18:36 Four hundred and eighty three days.
18:38 Yes, in prophetic time,
18:41 how many literal years does 483 days represent?
18:45 Four hundred and eighty three years
18:48 Yes.
18:50 Now, let's work this out on our chart.
18:53 We don't have a zero year.
18:55 So when you move along
18:57 483 years from 457 BC,
19:02 you come to the autumn or fall of 27 AD.
19:08 Luke Chapter 3 tells us that Jesus was baptized
19:11 in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberias Caesar.
19:15 We know from history, this was 27 AD.
19:19 So history confirms what the Bible predicted.
19:23 Jesus was baptized and anointed by the Holy Spirit
19:27 in 27 AD.
19:30 During this last prophetic week,
19:31 the 70th week, something happens.
19:36 Jeremiah, would you please read the first part of verse 26?
19:41 "And after the sixty-two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off,
19:46 but not for Himself."
19:47 This part of the prophecy predicts
19:50 that Jesus would be cut off or killed
19:53 but not for Himself.
19:55 He died for us.
19:57 It even prophesize the time of His death.
20:00 Sai, would you please read the first part of verse 27?
20:03 "Then he shall confirm a covenant
20:06 with many for one week,
20:08 but in the middle of the week,
20:13 He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering."
20:17 Remember our sanctuary services,
20:20 what was sacrificed on the altar?
20:22 A lamb. A lamb.
20:24 Yeah, the people confessed their sins
20:26 on the head of the lamb
20:28 and the lamb paid the full price for their sins.
20:31 And who did the lamb represent?
20:33 Jesus. Yes.
20:35 The sanctuary service pointed the people forward to the time
20:39 when Jesus would die in their place.
20:42 We don't have to die for our sins,
20:44 if we accept Jesus sacrifice on our behalf.
20:47 Let's read out torchlight,
20:49 Mrs. White's writings
20:51 in the book Royalty and Ruin, page 245,
20:54 and see what she shines on this.
20:57 Thank you, Auntie Leah, for reading that.
21:04 "In the spring of AD 31,
21:06 the true sacrifice was offered on Calvary,
21:09 when the veil of the temple was torn,
21:11 showing that the time had come
21:13 for the earthly sacrifices to end."
21:16 So Jesus' death on the cross brought an end
21:20 to the need for the animal sacrifice
21:22 and offerings.
21:23 In what part of the week did Jesus die
21:26 according to verse 27?
21:29 The middle of the week.
21:30 That's right.
21:32 Remember, we are talking about a prophetic week
21:34 or seven days.
21:36 Seven prophetic days is how many literal years?
21:40 Seven years. That's right.
21:43 Now, if Jesus died in the middle of seven years,
21:48 when did He die?
21:49 What's half of seven?
21:50 Three and a half.
21:52 That's right.
21:53 We have some very good mathematicians here.
21:56 Let's see where this is in our timeline.
21:59 Now, we know from history
22:01 that Jesus died in the spring of 31 AD,
22:05 right on time exactly as prophesied.
22:09 Jesus also rose again the third day,
22:12 just as He prophesied in Mark 8:31.
22:15 Even scientists and mathematicians
22:17 who don't believe in God
22:19 have to admit that it is impossible for one person
22:22 to fulfill so many accurate prophecies or predictions.
22:27 Only God can tell the future
22:28 like that as 2 Peter 1:21 tells us.
22:33 Would you please read that for us, Bethany?
22:36 "For prophecy never came by the will of man,
22:39 but the holy men of God
22:40 spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
22:43 Thank you, Bethany.
22:44 This means we can trust what the Bible says,
22:48 and we can trust in Jesus' prophecy
22:50 that He will come again and take us home
22:53 to live with Him for eternity
22:55 if we trust and follow Him.
22:58 And the 2300 day-year prophecy tells us that
23:01 Jesus is coming back very soon.
23:04 Let's see why?
23:06 We've just learned that the starting date
23:08 for the 2300 years was 457 BC.
23:13 So the 2300 years
23:16 ended in 1844.
23:19 Since 1844,
23:21 we have been living
23:22 in the heavenly Day of Atonement time.
23:25 Jesus is now acting as Judge.
23:28 This means we need to be ready every day.
23:31 And Jesus has promised
23:32 to get us ready for the judgment
23:34 if we cooperate with Him.
23:36 Let's read our memory verse together in Jude 24,
23:39 the second last book of the Bible.
23:42 All right, let's read together.
23:44 "Now to Him
23:46 who is able to keep you from stumbling,
23:49 and to present you faultless
23:51 before the presence of His glory
23:54 with exceeding joy."
23:56 Jesus offers us the power
23:58 to keep us from falling into temptation and sin.
24:02 What a wonderful and encouraging promise?
24:05 We can trust God's promises
24:07 to get us ready for Jesus' return.
24:09 We are living at the end of earth's history.
24:12 Jesus will soon return and take us home
24:14 to live with Him forever.
24:16 There's so much to look forward to.
24:19 Thank you for reading along with us.
24:21 Just in case you haven't already been

24:50 Uncle Daniel, what are we going to learn about next week?
24:53 Well, next week we're going to learn about a prophecy
24:56 that not only predicted the Israelite captivity,
25:00 but also predicted by name
25:03 the Medo-Persian king
25:04 who would grant the Israelites their freedom again.
25:07 God knows everything.
25:09 He surely does.
25:10 He knows everything about you and me.
25:13 Our memory verse for today is full of hope.
25:16 Let's go over it once more.
25:18 "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
25:23 and to present you faultless
25:25 before the presence of His glory
25:28 with exceeding joy."
25:30 Jude 24.
25:33 That's one of my favorite Bible promises.
25:35 Sai, what did you learn about the King today?
25:38 That Jesus is strong enough
25:40 to keep me from doing bad things.
25:42 He sure is.
25:44 We may still be tempted, but Jesus gives us the strength
25:48 not to give in to temptation.
25:51 Well, that's it for now from us.
25:53 We pray that you will spend special time with Jesus
25:57 at the beginning and end of every Sabbath day.
26:00 You can sing along with us
26:01 as we close with our lesson song.
26:04 Ready everyone?
26:09 May God bless you and keep you
26:15 And fill your heart with love
26:20 May God guide and protect you
26:25 And watch you from above
26:30 And Sabbath after Sabbath
26:35 We greet the day of rest
26:40 The day the king of glory
26:45 Has sanctified and blessed
26:51 Goodbye my friend till we meet again
26:56 For another day with the King
27:01 Goodbye!
27:02 Happy Sabbath!
27:12 I know Jesus loves me because He first loved me.
27:22 I know Jesus loves me
27:23 because He's coming to take me home with Him.
27:31 I know Jesus loves me because He died for me.
