00:00.700 --> 00:05.020
And in the second year of the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed

00:05.020 --> 00:08.800
dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled,
and his sleep break from him.

00:09.260 --> 00:11.960
Then the king commanded to call the
magicians, and the astrologers,

00:12.020 --> 00:15.500
and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans,
for to show the king his dreams.

00:15.820 --> 00:17.680
So they came and stood before the king.

00:18.040 --> 00:22.180
And the king said unto them, I have
dreamed a dream, and my spirit was

00:22.180 --> 00:23.700
troubled to know the dream.

00:23.940 --> 00:29.060
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in
Syriac, O king, live forever, tell thy

00:29.060 --> 00:31.740
servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation.

00:32.360 --> 00:35.640
The king answered and said to the
Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me.

00:36.060 --> 00:39.820
If ye will not make known unto me the
dream with the interpretation thereof,

00:40.360 --> 00:44.260
ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses
shall be made a dunghill.

00:45.040 --> 00:48.880
But if ye show the dream and the
interpretation thereof, ye shall receive

00:48.880 --> 00:51.200
of me gifts and rewards and great honor.

00:51.820 --> 00:55.420
Therefore show me the dream and the
interpretation thereof.

00:55.600 --> 01:00.040
They answered again and said, Let the king
tell his servants the dream, and we will

01:00.040 --> 01:01.540
show the interpretation of it.

01:01.700 --> 01:05.680
The king answered and said, I know of
certainty that ye would gain the time,

01:05.800 --> 01:07.820
because ye see the thing is gone from me.

01:08.300 --> 01:12.360
But if ye will not make known unto me the
dream, there is but one decree for you,

01:12.800 --> 01:17.720
for ye have prepared lying and corrupt
words to speak before me, till the time be

01:17.720 --> 01:18.280
changed.

01:18.900 --> 01:22.600
Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall
know that ye can show me the

01:22.600 --> 01:24.040
interpretation thereof.

01:24.360 --> 01:28.360
The Chaldeans answered before the king and
said, There is not a man upon the earth

01:28.360 --> 01:30.180
that can show the king's matter.

01:30.900 --> 01:36.300
Therefore there is no king, lord,
nor ruler that ask such things at any

01:36.300 --> 01:39.380
magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

01:40.180 --> 01:44.880
And it is a rare thing that the king
requireth, and there is none other that

01:44.880 --> 01:49.460
can show it before the king except the
gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

01:49.800 --> 01:54.680
For this cause the king was angry and very
furious, and commanded to destroy all the

01:54.680 --> 01:55.440
wise men of Babylon.

01:55.740 --> 01:59.040
And the decree went forth that the wise
men should be slain, and they sought

01:59.040 --> 02:00.720
Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

02:01.300 --> 02:04.840
Then Daniel answered with counsel and
wisdom to Ariok the captain of the king's

02:04.840 --> 02:07.680
guard, which was gone forth to slay the
wise men of Babylon.

02:08.160 --> 02:12.380
He answered and said to Ariok the king's
captain, Why is the decree so hasty from

02:12.380 --> 02:12.740
the king?

02:12.940 --> 02:14.980
Then Ariok made the thing known to Daniel.

02:15.560 --> 02:18.720
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the
king that he would give him time,

02:19.100 --> 02:20.820
and that he would show the king the
interpretation.

02:21.360 --> 02:24.160
Then Daniel went to his house,
and made the thing known to Hananiah,

02:24.400 --> 02:28.840
Mishael, and Azariah his companions,
that they would desire mercies of the God

02:28.840 --> 02:32.220
of heaven concerning this secret,
that Daniel and his fellows should not

02:32.220 --> 02:34.060
perish with the rest of the wise men of
Babylon.

02:34.500 --> 02:37.220
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel
in a night vision.

02:37.760 --> 02:39.320
Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

02:39.820 --> 02:44.060
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the
name of God for ever and ever.

02:44.640 --> 02:48.720
For wisdom and might are his, and he
changeth the times and the seasons.

02:49.240 --> 02:51.280
He removeth kings and setteth up kings.

02:51.680 --> 02:55.400
He giveth wisdom unto the wise,
and knowledge to them that know

02:55.400 --> 02:56.120
understanding.

02:56.580 --> 02:59.160
He revealeth the deep and secret things.

02:59.640 --> 03:02.980
He knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with him.

03:03.680 --> 03:09.040
I thank thee, and praise thee,
O thou God of my fathers, who hast given

03:09.040 --> 03:14.100
me wisdom and might, and hast made known
unto me now what we desired of thee.

03:14.560 --> 03:18.120
For thou hast now made known unto us the
king's matter.

03:18.460 --> 03:22.240
Therefore Daniel went in unto Ariok,
whom the king had ordained to destroy the

03:22.240 --> 03:23.000
wise men of Babylon.

03:23.740 --> 03:27.240
He went and said thus unto him,
Destroy not the wise men of Babylon.

03:27.240 --> 03:31.220
Bring me in before the king, and I will
show unto the king the interpretation.

03:31.920 --> 03:35.680
Then Ariok brought in Daniel before the
king in haste, and said thus unto him,

03:35.880 --> 03:39.480
I have found a man of the captives of
Judah that will make known unto the king

03:39.480 --> 03:40.220
the interpretation.

03:40.900 --> 03:44.420
The king answered and said to Daniel,
whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able

03:44.420 --> 03:48.520
to make known unto me the dream which I
have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

03:48.800 --> 03:52.700
Daniel answered in the presence of the
king, and said, The secret which the king

03:52.700 --> 03:56.940
hath demanded cannot the wise men,
the astrologers, the magicians,

03:57.200 --> 03:59.180
the soothsayers show unto the king.

03:59.560 --> 04:03.920
But there is a God in heaven that
revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the

04:03.920 --> 04:07.000
king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the
latter days.

04:07.300 --> 04:10.680
Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon
thy bed are these.

04:11.080 --> 04:15.680
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came
into thy mind upon thy bed what should

04:15.680 --> 04:16.940
come to pass hereafter.

04:17.340 --> 04:21.520
And he that revealeth secrets maketh known
to thee what shall come to pass.

04:21.960 --> 04:26.640
But as for me, this secret is not revealed
to me for any wisdom that I have more than

04:26.640 --> 04:30.920
any living, but for their sakes that shall
make known the interpretation to the king,

04:31.180 --> 04:33.540
and that thou mightest know the thoughts
of thy heart.

04:33.960 --> 04:37.940
Thou, O king, sawest and behold a great
image.

04:38.460 --> 04:43.300
This great image, whose brightness was
excellent, stood before thee, and the form

04:43.300 --> 04:44.620
thereof was terrible.

04:45.120 --> 04:49.660
This image's head was of fine gold,
his breast and his arms of silver,

04:50.060 --> 04:55.740
his belly and his thighs of brass,
his legs of iron, his feet part of iron

04:55.740 --> 04:56.800
and part of clay.

04:57.240 --> 05:01.980
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out
without hands, which smote the image upon

05:01.980 --> 05:05.480
his feet that were of iron and clay,
and break them to pieces.

05:06.320 --> 05:11.620
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass,
the silver, and the gold broken to pieces

05:11.620 --> 05:15.260
together, and became like the chaff of the
summer threshing floors.

05:15.840 --> 05:19.840
And the wind carried them away,
that no place was found for them.

05:20.520 --> 05:24.920
And the stone that smote the image became
a great mountain, and filled the whole

05:24.920 --> 05:25.280
earth.

05:25.660 --> 05:30.420
This is the dream, and we will tell the
interpretation thereof before the king.

05:31.420 --> 05:37.000
Thou, O king, art a king of kings,
for the God of heaven hath given thee a

05:37.000 --> 05:39.900
kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

05:40.520 --> 05:45.240
And wheresoever the children of men dwell,
the beasts of the field and the fowls of

05:45.240 --> 05:49.700
the heaven hath he given into thine hand,
and hath made thee ruler over them all.

05:50.420 --> 05:52.400
Thou art this head of gold.

05:53.140 --> 05:57.860
And after thee shall arise another kingdom
inferior to thee, and another third

05:57.860 --> 06:01.160
kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule
over all the earth.

06:01.480 --> 06:06.120
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as
iron, for as much as iron breaketh in

06:06.120 --> 06:10.660
pieces and subdueth all things,
and as iron that breaketh all these shall

06:10.660 --> 06:12.600
it break in pieces and bruise.

06:13.180 --> 06:17.460
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes
part of potter's clay and part of iron,

06:17.700 --> 06:19.380
the kingdom shall be divided.

06:20.160 --> 06:24.340
But there shall be in it of the strength
of the iron, for as much as thou sawest

06:24.340 --> 06:28.740
the iron mixed with miry clay,
and as the toes of the feet were part of

06:28.740 --> 06:34.300
iron and part of clay, so the kingdom
shall be partly strong and partly broken.

06:34.880 --> 06:39.320
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with
miry clay, they shall mingle themselves

06:39.320 --> 06:45.020
with the seed of men, but they shall not
cleave one to another, even as iron is not

06:45.020 --> 06:46.000
mixed with clay.

06:47.140 --> 06:51.740
And in the days of these kings shall the
God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall

06:51.740 --> 06:57.020
never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, but it shall

06:57.020 --> 07:02.560
break in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

07:03.140 --> 07:07.220
For as much as thou sawest that the stone
was cut out of the mountain without hands,

07:07.380 --> 07:11.700
and that it break in pieces the iron,
the brass, the clay, the silver,

07:11.740 --> 07:17.040
and the gold, the great God hath made
known to the king what shall come to pass

07:17.040 --> 07:22.020
hereafter, and the dream is certain,
and the interpretation thereof sure.

07:22.740 --> 07:26.880
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his
face and worshipped Daniel, and commanded

07:26.880 --> 07:29.620
that they should offer an oblation and
sweet odors unto him.

07:30.020 --> 07:33.860
The king answered unto Daniel and said,
O, the truth it is that your God is a God

07:33.860 --> 07:37.080
of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a
revealer of secrets.

07:37.840 --> 07:39.920
Seeing thou couldst reveal this secret.

07:40.380 --> 07:43.860
Then the king made Daniel a great man,
and gave him many great gifts,

07:44.220 --> 07:48.000
and made him ruler over the whole province
of Babylon, and chief of the governors

07:48.000 --> 07:49.360
over all the wise men of Babylon.

07:50.060 --> 07:54.140
Then Daniel requested of the king,
and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

07:54.140 --> 07:56.140
over the affairs of the province of
Babylon.

07:56.420 --> 07:58.300
But Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
