00:15 Hello, and welcome back to "His Words Are Life."
00:17 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:19 we'll be reading in the Book of Daniel together.
00:21 But first, let's pray.
00:23 Dear heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity
00:26 to sit and read your word together.
00:29 And for those, who're hearing these words,
00:32 may we remember that when we're faced with things
00:35 in our lives that look as overwhelming
00:38 and impossible as the den of lions,
00:40 you're able to deliver us.
00:42 Please be with us now as we read
00:44 and show us your deliverance.
00:46 We love You so much and thank You for loving us. Amen.
00:50 We've just finished reading
00:51 the story of Daniel in the lions den,
00:54 the last time we were together
00:55 and King Darius is now making a decree.
00:59 We're picking up in Daniel,
01:01 Chapter 6 with verse 26
01:03 and this is the King James Version.
01:06 I make a decree,
01:08 That in every dominion of my kingdom
01:11 men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,
01:14 for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever,
01:19 and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed,
01:23 and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
01:28 He delivereth and rescueth,
01:31 and he worketh signs and wonders
01:33 in heaven and in earth,
01:36 who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
01:41 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius,
01:45 and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
01:49 Continuing now with Daniel, Chapter 7
01:51 and this is the King James Version.
01:55 In the first year of Belshazzar,
01:57 king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream
02:01 and visions of his head upon his bed,
02:04 then he wrote the dream,
02:06 and told the sum of the matters.
02:08 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night,
02:14 and, behold, the four winds of the heaven
02:17 strove upon the great sea.
02:20 And four great beasts came up from the sea,
02:24 diverse one from another.
02:26 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wing,
02:30 I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked,
02:32 and it was lifted up from the earth,
02:34 and made stand upon the feet as a man,
02:36 and a man's heart was given to it.
02:39 Behold another beast, a second, like to a bear,
02:43 and it raised up itself on one side,
02:45 and it had three ribs in the mouth of it
02:47 between the teeth of it, and they said thus unto it,
02:51 Arise, devour much flesh.
02:55 After this I beheld,
02:57 and lo another, like a leopard,
03:00 which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl,
03:05 the beast had also four heads,
03:07 and dominion was given to it.
03:10 After this I saw in the night visions,
03:12 and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible,
03:17 and strong exceedingly, and it had great iron teeth,
03:22 it devoured and brake in pieces,
03:24 and stamped the residue with the feet of it,
03:27 and it was diverse from all the beasts
03:29 that were before it, and it had ten horns.
03:33 I considered the horns, and, behold,
03:35 there came up among them another little horn,
03:38 before whom there were three of the first horns
03:41 plucked up by the roots, and, behold,
03:45 in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man,
03:49 and a mouth speaking great things.
03:52 I beheld till the thrones were cast down,
03:55 and the Ancient of days did sit,
03:57 whose garment was white as snow,
04:00 and the hair of his head like the pure wool,
04:03 his throne was like the fiery flame,
04:05 and his wheels as burning fire.
04:08 A fiery stream issued
04:09 and came forth from before him,
04:12 thousand thousands ministered unto him,
04:15 and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him,
04:19 the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
04:23 I beheld then because of the voice
04:26 of the great words which the horn spake,
04:29 I beheld even till the beast was slain,
04:32 and his body destroyed,
04:33 and given to the burning flame.
04:37 As concerning the rest of the beasts,
04:39 they had their dominion taken away,
04:41 yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
04:47 I saw in the night visions, and, behold,
04:50 one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven,
04:55 and came to the Ancient of days,
04:57 and they brought him near before him.
05:01 And there was given him dominion,
05:03 and glory, and a kingdom, that all people,
05:06 nations, and languages, should serve him,
05:09 his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
05:11 which shall not pass away,
05:13 and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
05:18 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit
05:22 in the midst of my body,
05:24 and the visions of my head troubled me.
05:28 I came near unto one of them that stood by,
05:32 and asked him the truth of all this.
05:35 So he told me, and made me know
05:37 the interpretation of the things.
05:40 These great beasts, which are four,
05:43 are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
05:48 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom,
05:51 and possess the kingdom for ever,
05:53 even for ever and ever.
05:55 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast,
05:58 which was diverse from all the others,
06:00 exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron,
06:03 and his nails of brass, which devoured,
06:06 brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet,
06:09 And of the ten horns that were in his head,
06:11 and of the other which came up,
06:13 and before whom three fell,
06:15 even of that horn that had eyes,
06:16 and a mouth that spake very great things,
06:19 whose look was more stout than his fellows.
06:23 I beheld, and the same horn
06:24 made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
06:29 Until the Ancient of days came,
06:31 and judgment was given to the saints
06:33 of the most High, and the time came
06:35 that the saints possessed\ the kingdom.
06:38 Thus he said, The fourth beast
06:41 shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,
06:44 which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
06:46 and shall devour the whole earth,
06:48 and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
06:52 And the ten horns out of this kingdom
06:55 are ten kings that shall arise,
06:58 and another shall rise after them,
07:01 and he shall be diverse from the first,
07:04 and he shall subdue three kings.
07:07 And he shall speak great words against the most High,
07:10 and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
07:13 and think to change times and laws,
07:17 and they shall be given into his hand
07:20 until a time and times and the dividing of time.
07:26 But the judgment shall sit,
07:28 and they shall take away his dominion,
07:30 to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
07:34 And the kingdom and dominion,
07:36 and the greatness of the kingdom
07:37 under the whole heaven,
07:39 shall be given to the people
07:40 of the saints of the most High,
07:43 whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
07:46 and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
07:50 Hitherto is the end of the matter.
07:53 As for me Daniel,
07:56 my cogitations much troubled me,
07:59 and my countenance changed in me,
08:02 but I kept the matter in my heart.
08:06 Continuing to read in Daniel Chapter 8.
08:09 This is the King James Version.
08:12 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar
08:16 a vision appeared unto me,
08:18 even unto me Daniel,
08:20 after that which appeared unto me at the first.
08:24 And I saw in a vision, and it came to pass,
08:27 when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace,
08:31 which is in the province of Elam,
08:33 and I saw in a vision,
08:34 and I was by the river of Ulai.
08:37 Then I lifted up mine eyes,
08:39 and saw, and, behold,
08:41 there stood before the river
08:42 a ram which had two horns,
08:45 and the two horns were high,
08:46 but one was higher than the other,
08:48 and the higher came up last.
08:50 I saw the ram pushing westward,
08:52 and northward, and southward,
08:53 so that no beasts might stand before him,
08:55 neither was there any that could deliver
08:57 out of his hand, but he did according
08:59 to his will, and became great.
09:02 And as I was considering, behold,
09:06 an he goat came from the west
09:08 on the face of the whole earth,
09:10 and touched not the ground,
09:13 and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
09:17 And he came to the ram that had two horns,
09:19 which I had seen standing before the river,
09:21 and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
09:25 And I saw him come close unto the ram,
09:27 and he was moved with choler against him,
09:30 and smote the ram, and brake his two horns,
09:33 and there was no power in the ram
09:34 to stand before him,
09:36 but he cast him down to the ground,
09:37 and stamped upon him,
09:40 and there was none that could deliver
09:41 the ram out of his hand.
09:44 Therefore the he goat waxed very great,
09:47 and when he was strong, the great horn was broken,
09:50 and for it came up four notable ones
09:54 toward the four winds of heaven.
09:57 And out of one of them came forth a little horn,
10:00 which waxed exceeding great,
10:02 toward the south, and toward the east,
10:04 and toward the pleasant land.
10:07 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven,
10:09 and it cast down some of the host
10:11 and of the stars to the ground,
10:13 and stamped upon them.
10:14 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince
10:17 of the host, and by him
10:20 the daily sacrifice was taken away,
10:22 and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
10:25 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice
10:29 by reason of transgression,
10:31 and it cast down the truth to the ground,
10:34 and it practised, and prospered.
10:38 Then I heard one saint speaking,
10:39 and another saint said unto
10:41 that certain saint which spake,
10:44 How long shall be the vision
10:46 concerning the daily sacrifice,
10:49 and the transgression of desolation,
10:51 to give both the sanctuary
10:53 and the host to be trodden under foot?
10:56 And he said unto me,
10:57 Unto two thousand and three hundred days,
11:00 then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
11:04 And it came to pass, when I,
11:06 even I Daniel, had seen the vision,
11:09 and sought for the meaning, then, behold,
11:13 there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
11:18 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai,
11:21 which called, and said, Gabriel,
11:24 make this man to understand the vision.
11:28 So he came near where I stood,
11:30 and when he came, I was afraid,
11:32 and fell upon my face,
11:34 but he said unto me, Understand,
11:37 O son of man, for at the time
11:39 of the end shall be the vision.
11:43 Now as he was speaking with me,
11:45 I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground,
11:50 but he touched me, and set me upright.
11:54 And he said, Behold,
11:56 I will make thee know
11:57 what shall be in the last end of the indignation,
12:01 for at the time appointed the end shall be.
12:06 The ram which thou sawest having two horns
12:10 are the kings of Media and Persia.
12:13 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia,
12:16 and the great horn that is between
12:18 his eyes is the first king.
12:21 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it,
12:27 four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation,
12:30 but not in his power.
12:33 And in the latter time of their kingdom,
12:36 when the transgressors are come to the full,
12:38 a king of fierce countenance,
12:41 and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
12:45 And his power shall be mighty,
12:47 but not by his own power,
12:49 and he shall destroy wonderfully,
12:51 and shall prosper, and practise,
12:53 and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
12:57 And through his policy also he shall cause
13:00 craft to prosper in his hand,
13:02 and he shall magnify himself in his heart,
13:06 and by peace shall destroy many,
13:09 he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes,
13:13 but he shall be broken without hand.
13:16 And the vision of the evening and the morning
13:18 which was told is true,
13:20 wherefore shut thou up the vision,
13:23 for it shall be for many days.
13:25 And I Daniel fainted,
13:27 and was sick certain days,
13:30 afterward I rose up, and did the king's business,
13:34 and I was astonished at the vision,
13:36 but none understood it.
13:39 Continuing with Daniel, Chapter 9.
13:42 In the first year of Dari'us the son of Ahasue'rus,
13:46 of the seed of the Medes,
13:48 which was made king over the realm of the Chalde'ans,
13:51 In the first year of his reign,
13:52 I Daniel understood by books the number of the years,
13:57 whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet,
14:00 that he would accomplish seventy years
14:03 in the desolations of Jerusalem.
14:06 And I set my face unto the Lord God,
14:09 to seek by prayer and supplications,
14:11 with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes,
14:15 and I prayed unto the Lord my God,
14:17 and made my confession, and said, O Lord,
14:21 the great and dreadful God,
14:23 keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him,
14:28 and to them that keep his commandments,
14:31 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity,
14:34 and have done wickedly, and have rebelled,
14:36 even by departing from thy precepts
14:39 and from thy judgments.
