0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:09.0	In the time it takes to get to work, I'm Keith Simon.
0:17.3	In October of 2014, the Chicago Bears were down 25 points to the New England Patriots with only a few minutes left in the game. The game
0:21.5	was over. It was impossible for the bears to win.
0:24.7	That's when Lamar Houston, a Bears defensive linemen, broke free and sacked Tom Brady

1:35.2	Also, there's a strong vibe that he is mocking Israel's god by drinking out of the goblets used in the temple.
1:41.6	No, this is not a normal party at all. By the end of the night at the end of this chapter
1:47.7	Belchizar will be dead and Darius of Persia will be the new king.
1:52.1	Belchizar knows the end is near.
1:54.6	The events described in this chapter
