0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.8	I'm Jensen Holt McNair. Here's the thing. Daniel Chapter 2 is full and I mean very, very full of so many good nuggets of truth. In it we read the story of God delivering Daniel and
0:26.1	his companions from the death warrant given out by King Nebuchineser because no one
0:31.5	could interpret his dream. We watch as Daniel faithfully turns to God
0:36.0	for wisdom and insight to know what the King's dream was and what it meant.
0:40.4	And we are awed by God's goodness and wisdom as he gives Daniel knowledge

1:31.2	tempted to skim and when I did read most confused by.
1:35.3	Prophecy is not often my favorite literary genre of the Bible to read, but time and time again
1:40.9	as I step out of my comfort zone and dive into what the prophecy means, I am blown
1:46.1	away by what God reveals to his people and is faithful to accomplish.
1:51.7	So before we are tempted to run trembling from the confusing parts of scripture, let's go ahead and
1:57.9	read this prophetic section of scripture together.
