00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,800
60 years had passed since the Kingdom of

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,120
Israel was torn in two by jeroboam and

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,800
rabam King Ahab now ruled with his wife

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,080
Queen Jezebel who insisted on the

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,680
worship of her God

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,439
ball to remind the people of the one

8
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:29,560
true God he sent the Prophet Elijah and

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,800
condemned Israel to a three-year drought

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,239
as punishment for worshiping

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,399
ball in response to Elijah's warning

12
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:43,399
King Ahab and queen Jezebel ordered his

13
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,719
death but by the time their soldiers

14
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:48,440
started to search for him God had

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,920
already told Elijah that it was time to

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,840
hide after 3 years of drought and hiding

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,239
God instructed Elijah to return to

18
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:01,199
Israel and to gather the ball priests

19
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:03,760
and people to Mount Carmel in order to

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,520
prove that his God was the true God the

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,360
challenge would involve offering two

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,600
bowls one given to the ball prophets and

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,200
the other to Elijah who would sacrifice

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,080
them and place them on an altar as an

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,920
offering to their gods The God Who

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,799
responds by burning the offering with

27
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,040
fire would be proven as the one true

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,880
God Elijah allowed the ball priests to

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,320
go

30
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,200
first who chanted and called for their

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,920
God but after a full day of trying their

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,159
God did not

33
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:39,439
answer then it was Elijah's

34
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:42,200
turn Elijah was so confident that he

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,240
even drenched his offering in water

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,280
before calling out to

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,680
God and he answered with a lightning

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,360
strike that made the altar

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
burn the people were shocked and angry

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,320
with the bald priests who ran away full

41
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,680
of

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,880
fear and as God promised he ended the

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,399
drought and the rain began to fall at

44
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:08,560
last many years passed and Elijah had

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,000
gained a successor called

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440
Elisha he had become a close friend of

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,440
his and insisted on joining him on his

48
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,239
final journey to

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,519
Jordan when they arrived at the Jordan

50
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:25,160
River Elijah threw his cloak into the

51
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,760
river revealing dry ground for him to

52
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,040
walk on

53
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,920
before Elijah leaves he turns to

54
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:38,200
Elisha is there anything you want to ask

55
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,280
before God Takes Me

56
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800
Away yes how will I ever inherit your

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,159
type of spiritual power only God can

58
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:47,280
grant you

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,159
that if you are able to see what God has

60
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:53,780
planned then your question will be

00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:56,280
[Music]

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,720
answered for a moment all is still

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,840
between them

64
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:03,879
until a ball of light

65
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,840
appears and a chariot of fire carries

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,239
Elijah away Elisha is left having

67
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:12,000
witnessed God's

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840
power and now he must carry on Elijah's

69
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360
work by

70
00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:23,419
[Music]

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,640
himself when Elijah asked Elisha if he

72
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,319
would follow in his

73
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,840
footsteps little did he know the impact

74
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,680
that he would

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,879
have with jars of oil he kept a family

76
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:39,000
safe from the evils of

77
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:42,439
slavery he purified dirty Wells

78
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,159
providing safe water for the

79
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,760
people and even cured a man of

80
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000
leprosy these were just a handful of the

81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Miracles that God performed through

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Elisha just North of Israel was their

83
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,159
Arch Enemy the kingdom of Aram whose

84
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,879
King was planning to invade

85
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,120
Israel God told Elisha this and to warn

86
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,480
his King

87
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,120
immediately angered by the news the king

88
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,040
of Aram took an army to arrest Elisha

89
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,918
who was waiting and praying to

90
00:04:16,918 --> 00:04:19,759
God God answered his prayers and

91
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,759
suddenly a dazzling light beamed from

92
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:23,959
the

93
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,960
sky to reveal chariots and warriors

94
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,960
ready to battle

95
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,799
and then suddenly they could see

96
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,560
nothing with the Heavenly brightness God

97
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,479
had taken away their

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,199
sight now blind Elisha guided aam's army

99
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,479
into the Israeli

100
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:48,479
Kingdom where they feared they'd be

101
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:51,120
taken in as helpless

102
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,080
prisoners but instead their eyesight was

103
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,639
returned to

104
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:58,440
them Elisha told his King to present

105
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,759
aram's Soldiers with bre bread and water

106
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:02,240
and to send them back home with a

107
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,280
message of just how powerful Israel's

108
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,159
King and God

109
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,120
were however even with this warning the

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,199
war

111
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:18,240
continued one day aram's armies had

112
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,160
Israel surrounded with their food

113
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,880
supplies cut

114
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,960
off Elisha promised his King that God

115
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,160
would provide for Israel by the next

116
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,120
day and as promised it was discovered

117
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,240
that aram's Army had vanished suddenly

118
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,440
from their camps in the

119
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,800
night leaving all their food and

120
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,560
resources for the Israelis to Feast

121
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,720
upon one of Elisha's final instructions

122
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,280
from God was to send a prophet to go and

123
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,360
anoint a man named jahu as God's new

124
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,759
king of

125
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Israel this would spark a bloody Purge

126
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,319
since jahu would wipe out all those who

127
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,919
worshiped the ball gods and

128
00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:10,370
[Music]

129
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:14,440
Idols one day the prophet Jonah was sent

130
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,280
a message from God to visit the city of

131
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,840
Nineveh and to tell the people that they

132
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,919
must turn away from their sins or else

133
00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:24,759
suffer the

134
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,520
consequences however Jonah disagreed

135
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,759
with God's commands and thus disobeyed

136
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,280
them Nineveh was known to be a corrupt

137
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:37,680
city therefore he had no intention to go

138
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,360
and set sail in the opposite

139
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,199
direction God was angered with Jonah's

140
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,960
decision so he hurled a great storm at

141
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,759
his

142
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:50,599
ship the storm raged fiercely and out of

143
00:06:50,599 --> 00:06:53,199
desperation the sailors Drew straws to

144
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,479
find out who provoked the wrath of

145
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:01,080
God and of course it was J

146
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960
the sailors were enraged and pushed him

147
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,638
overboard so that God could punish him

148
00:07:09,479 --> 00:07:13,000
alone almost immediately Jonah was

149
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,720
consumed by a sea monster the sea was

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,879
now calm and the sailors were

151
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:23,960
safe surprisingly Jonah was not

152
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,120
killed he survived in the monster for 3

153
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,319
days and three nights giving him plenty

154
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,080
of time to think about how he disobeyed

155
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,879
God and almost

156
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:39,720
drowned Lord when I was in the waters I

157
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,360
called out to you and you answered me I

158
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,319
was drowning and yet I am still

159
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:51,360
alive God heard Jonah's cries and

160
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,479
regret and had the monster spit him up

161
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:55,800
onto the

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,080
shore having leared his lesson Jonah

163
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,039
marched directly to Nineveh to encourage

164
00:08:02,039 --> 00:08:06,110
them to change their destructive

165
00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:11,040
[Music]

166
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,240
ways Isaiah was a very important

167
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,120
prophet he along with the rest of the

168
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,840
people of Judah witnessed the fall of

169
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,280
Israel when the Assyrians

170
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560
attacked after 10 years of resistance to

171
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,039
Assyrians the king Hezekiah was dying

172
00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:33,839
Isaiah came to him and told him that God

173
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:36,958
had given him 15 more years to guide his

174
00:08:36,958 --> 00:08:39,919
people to Victory due to his trust and

175
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,479
faith in

176
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:45,600
God some time after Hezekiah was visited

177
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,800
by some strangers that traveled from the

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,360
land of

179
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,600
Babylon after finding this out Isaiah

180
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,760
made the prediction that Babylon would

181
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,279
be the downfall of

182
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,720
Judah your descendants will be taken

183
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,839
from Jerusalem and will be enslaved by

184

00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,040
King after years of battle the Assyrian

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,320
forces were closing in on

187
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,360
Judah out of desperation and a final

188
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,079
bout of Hope King Hezekiah turned to God

189
00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:19,760
and prayed for his

190
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,360
help that night God had listened to his

191
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,000

most important prophecy

saved a young Prophet named Jeremiah was

216
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,399
once visited by

217
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,519
God and shown a vision of an army

218
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:53,639
invading and destroying the city of

219
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:57,000
Judah at a similar time the young king

220
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,040
of Judah King Josiah was looking around

221
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,200
the Temple of Jerusalem which was

222
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,639
undergoing

223
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:06,320
repairs the young king and his men came

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,000
across a scroll hidden in the

225
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,600
debris they were horrified when they

226
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,040
realized that this was the document God

227
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,200
had given to Moses and they had broken

228
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,519
almost every law in it Josiah went to

229
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,800
the prophetes holda who made it clear

230
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,279
that God would judge Josiah and the

231
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:30,000
people of Judah for their disobedience

232
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,200
obedience as punishment Judah would be

233
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,600
destroyed but Josiah would be spared due

234
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,079
to his humble

235
00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:42,200
heart to try and redeem Judah Josiah and

236
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,040
Jeremiah joined forces and worked for

237
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,680
years to eliminate the wrongdoings that

238
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:48,959
had been

239
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,480
committed they served God and the

240
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,560
kingdom with all their heart and

241
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,079
soul Josiah also began to worry about

242
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:00,600
the Growing Power of the

243
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,560
Egyptians and despite Jeremiah's urges

244
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,600
to concentrate on the threat from

245
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Babylon Josiah decided to take Egypt to

246
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,440
war

247
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,639
anyway Jeremiah knew the Egyptians were

248
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:14,920
too

249
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,959
strong and sadly King Josiah was killed

00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:21,760
in battle by the Pharaoh of

251
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,120
Nico Jeremiah was heartbroken by his

252
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,000
King's death and knew that this was the

253
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,440
beginning of the end for Judah as Egypt

254
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,959
placed a new King on the throne

255
00:12:33,959 --> 00:12:37,279
therefore Leading the People away from

256
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,320
God years later just as Jeremiah had

257
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,399
predicted Babylon conquered Egypt and

258
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:46,560
forced Judah to

259
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,920
surrender to Jeremiah's dismay he

260
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,440
remembered all the times he warned the

261
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,320
people that this would happen if they

262
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,680
did not

263
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:00,199
listen and thus judah's destiny to fall

264
00:13:00,199 --> 00:13:02,519
was

265
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,169
[Music]

266
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,199
fulfilled eventually Babylon gave

267
00:13:12,199 --> 00:13:16,399
Jerusalem a new king king

268
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,760
zedekiah however zedekiah started to

269
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,560
consider a

270
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,360
rebellion when Jeremiah heard of his

271
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,399
plans he went to the king carrying a

272
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:30,279
yoke on his back and warned him that if

273
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,519
he threw the Yoke of Babylon away then

274
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:36,399
he would be crushed and any Prophet who

275
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,920
tells him otherwise is

276
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,199
lying the king however did not

277
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:46,639
listen suddenly another Prophet grabbed

278
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,760
the Yoke from Jeremiah and smashed it

279
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,399
against the wall claiming that God had

280
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,279
told him that Babylon would be destroyed

281
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:56,839
in 2

282
00:13:56,839 --> 00:13:59,519
years Jeremiah told the prophet Propet

283
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,160
that his words were not true and because

284
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,720
of his lies he would be dead within the

285
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,519
year Jeremiah continued with his

286
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:11,320
warnings but the king and his advisers

287
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,800
grew tired of him so they locked him in

288
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,040
a well leaving him to starve to

289
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,680
death eventually as the battle continued

290
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480
and his people started to starve the

291
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,040
king grew

292
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120
afraid he released Jeremiah and asked

293
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920
him what was going to to

294
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,560
happen Jeremiah advised him to surrender

295
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,560
or else suffer a painful

296
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,639
fate but the King was more concerned

297
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:42,360
about his pride and decided to join

298
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,079

299
00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:47,600

victorious Jerusalem was burnt to the

302
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,759

prisoner where he was blinded and

304
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:02,920
tortured Jeremiah on the other hand was

305
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,800
freed by the king of Babylon due to his

306
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,360
faith in his God and the fact that he

307
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,480
tried to stop the

308
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,279

00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,839
and comfort if he came back to Babylon

310
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:18,959
with him but Jeremiah thanked him and

311
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:22,320
refused since he felt he needed to stay

312
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,160
to help his people heal and rebuild

Daniel was a noble youth from Jerusalem

who was taken into captivity by

316
00:15:37,959 --> 00:15:40,279
Babylon and governed under their kings

317
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:44,360
and successors due to his loyalty and

miraculous dreams shown to him by God

320
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,920
and it was three of Daniel's countrymen

321
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,639
that survived the fiery furnace as

322
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:56,000
ordered by King Nebuchadnezzar while

323
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,240
King Nebuchadnezzar had made mistakes he

324
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,000
had grown to respect and honor God

00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,319
through

326
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:06,160
Daniel his successor on the other hand

327
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Bazar had no idea how Daniel quietly

328
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
kept the kingdoms running and had

329
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960
offended god with his behavior and

331
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,199

332
00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:20,560
partying three words appeared on his

333
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,519
wall numbered measured

334
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:27,519

335
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:30,079
what this meant

336
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:33,000
these words are God's promises to you

337
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,600
your days are numbered you have been

338
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,839
measured and found wanting and your

339
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:39,839
kingdom will be divided between the

340
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:43,160
Persians you have given no honor to God

341
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,839
but instead ate and drank with arrogance

342
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:49,800
and praise gods that don't even exist

343
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,399
Bazar however did not listen and almost

344
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:55,480
immediately Persian soldiers entered and

345
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,959
seized the kingdom

346
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:01,560
Daniel of course was not surprised since

347
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,360
God had warned him of this in a dream of

348
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,959
four

349
00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:08,520
beasts each representing a kingdom but

350
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,480
God's kingdom would come after and would

351
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,520
last

00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,039
forever now under the rule of Persia

353
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:18,359
Daniel earned himself a respectable

354
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,359
reputation which had allowed him to

355
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280
become the top trusted advisor to the

356
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,000
new Persian king

357
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,439
Darius this caused the other officials

358
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:30,280
to resent him and so they decided to set

359
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,440
up a

360
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,120
trap knowing that Daniel's faith in God

361
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,240
was strong they convinced the king to

362
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,280
create a new law in which the King has

363
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,840
the utmost honor with no one praying or

364
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,120
honoring any God or Man Apart from him

365
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,760
for 30

366
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:52,039
days Daniel of course prayed to his God

367
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:54,120
and the other officials told the king

368
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:57,280
who then realized his

369
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,559
mistake the kinged tried to find a way

370
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,080
to change this but Persian laws cannot

371
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,559
be broken and so he reluctantly sent

372
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:05,990
Daniel to the Lion's

open the den and was shocked to find

377
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,360
Daniel was alive and well God had

378
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:22,520
protected Daniel by shutting the Lion's

wrong at the last moment Esther lost her

434
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,520

435
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,320
Hayman to a party in her personal

they had left Jerusalem was in flames

00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,919
how much needed to be

495
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:37,320
rebuilt however even amid a ruined

496
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,360
Jerusalem the people were thankful and

497
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,880

time in many

499

years however the noise of their

500
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:50,480
celebrations attracted the Samaritans to

501
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,159
come and

502
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,640
investigate they decided to offer to

503
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
help rebuild Jerusalem however the

504
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,360
Jewish people people felt it was

505
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:01,760
important that they do it themselves

506
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,279
since they were once punished by God for

507
00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:07,039
relying on other people's help instead

508
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:08,799
of trusting God

509
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:12,240
Alone unfortunately the Samaritans were

510
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,840
deeply angered by this and so they

511
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,159
decided to go to King

512
00:24:17,159 --> 00:24:19,960
Cyrus the Samaritans told him that the

513
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440
people of Jerusalem have always been

514
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,760
rebellious so if he allowed them to

515
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,399
rebuild the Temple they would eventually

516
00:24:27,399 --> 00:24:29,080
revolt

517
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,760

518
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,679

521
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,880

522
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:43,919

523
00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:47,520

524
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,720
Zechariah reassured the people that God

525
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,559

00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:56,679
Jerusalem was finally

527
00:24:56,679 --> 00:25:00,679
rebuilt however after 80 years the city

528
00:25:00,679 --> 00:25:03,520
was still in Ruins and the worship of

God's word was once again

worshiped eventually a wall to protect

535
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:24,120
the city from enemies was also built

536
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:27,080

to the crowds that come to see him

636
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,200
sometimes John is asked if he is in fact

637
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480
the Savior that God has promised but

638
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,480
John knows he is not he baptizes with

639
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,320
water while the Savior will do it with

640
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,919
the Holy Spirit and then one day said

baptized John is hesitant at first as he

644
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,919
believes it is he who should be baptized

645
00:30:20,919 --> 00:30:24,840
by Jesus but Jesus insists as God has

646
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,960
chosen John to introduce him to the

647
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,320
world John baptizes Jesus in the river

648
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,159
and God's spirit appears in the form of

649
00:30:32,159 --> 00:30:34,519
a dove to communicate his

650
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:37,880
approval after this Jesus walks into the

651
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,660

when Jesus is tired and hungry he

658
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,880
suddenly hears a voice the voice of the

659
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,080

00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:49,639
shows him all the kingdoms of the world

675
00:31:49,639 --> 00:31:52,120
and their Splendor promising them to him

676
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,919
