Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Don't Fear The Future (Part 1) | August 25, 2025

And now he has given us an assignment.
00:00:01.062 --> 00:00:03.597
And that assignment is to spread the gospel all over the world.
00:00:03.597 --> 00:00:08.169
So today we get to celebrate jesus.
00:00:08.169 --> 00:00:11.238
Don't build your life off a quick victory.
00:00:11.238 --> 00:00:14.742
Those quick victories can fade.
00:00:15.376 --> 00:00:17.545
Those things you're chasing.
00:00:17.545 --> 00:00:18.779
Those achievements can fade.
00:00:18.779 --> 00:00:20.614
Build your life on the rock because you have no idea
00:00:20.614 --> 00:00:24.151
What's going to happen tomorrow.
00:00:24.151 --> 00:00:25.886
But we are continuing our series titled thrones and beast.
00:00:25.886 --> 00:00:30.858
And with this series, we have been taking a deep dive
00:00:30.858 --> 00:00:34.395
Into the entire book of daniel.
00:00:34.395 --> 00:00:37.598
Pray for your boy, because today we really get
00:00:37.598 --> 00:00:39.667
Into the hard parts of it,
00:00:39.667 --> 00:00:41.602
And i hear a lot of pastors preach on this,
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:43.871
But there's some things some pastors would like to skip
00:00:43.871 --> 00:00:46.073
Because it takes a lot of studying
00:00:46.073 --> 00:00:47.808
And a lot of information to get out there.
00:00:47.808 --> 00:00:50.010
And so we're going to tackle those things.
00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:51.879
But we have been learning what it means
00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:53.247
To have incredible faith through difficult times.
00:00:53.247 --> 00:00:55.716
And so let me ask you real quick, as this series
00:00:55.716 --> 00:00:57.751
Has been encouraging to you guys,
00:00:57.751 --> 00:01:00.121
Like understanding
00:01:00.121 --> 00:01:01.355
That god can do the impossible, that he can do the miraculous,
00:01:01.355 --> 00:01:04.391
That even when you feel like you're in the fire,
00:01:04.391 --> 00:01:06.427
You will not be burned because jesus is with you.
00:01:06.427 --> 00:01:09.163
Like, do you understand the concept
00:01:09.964 --> 00:01:11.532
That you can be in the middle of a trial,
00:01:11.532 --> 00:01:14.001
In the middle of a storm, and it feels hot all around you?
00:01:14.001 --> 00:01:17.171
Yet because jesus is holding
00:01:17.171 --> 00:01:18.639
Your hand, you are going to be okay.
00:01:18.639 --> 00:01:22.443
Somebody needs to hear that in the room today, or
00:01:22.443 --> 00:01:24.145
Maybe watching online, you're going to be okay.
00:01:24.145 --> 00:01:27.181
You're going to get through this season.
00:01:27.181 --> 00:01:29.150
It is not done.
00:01:29.150 --> 00:01:30.251
God is not done with you.
00:01:30.251 --> 00:01:32.219
And that's what we've learned through
00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:33.320
The incredible faith stories of daniel.
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:35.990
We've seen so many of this.
00:01:35.990 --> 00:01:37.491
His friends went through the fire, did not get burned.
00:01:37.491 --> 00:01:39.627
Daniel in the lion's den.
00:01:39.627 --> 00:01:40.961
Just amazing, incredible stories.
00:01:40.961 --> 00:01:43.831
How about the power of god through difficult times?
00:01:43.831 --> 00:01:47.735
And so i gotta warn you,
00:01:47.735 --> 00:01:50.037
Today, the entire book of daniel changes.
00:01:50.037 --> 00:01:52.239
Okay, so we go from the incredible
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.542
Faith stories from chapters one through six,
00:01:54.542 --> 00:01:57.444
And now we start chapter seven, which is known
00:01:57.444 --> 00:01:59.980
As the apocalyptic literature and the term apocalyptic.
00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:04.485
It's not something scary.
00:02:04.485 --> 00:02:05.686
It just means the unveiling.
00:02:05.686 --> 00:02:07.621
Okay. the revealing of something.
00:02:07.621 --> 00:02:09.657
God is showing you something special here.
00:02:09.657 --> 00:02:11.992
In fact, i told you a while back
00:02:11.992 --> 00:02:13.994
That the book of daniel is considered
00:02:13.994 --> 00:02:15.796
To be a book of revelation out of the old testament.
00:02:15.796 --> 00:02:19.300
Okay, because he gets these prophetic visions and dreams
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:23.103
In chapter
00:02:23.103 --> 00:02:24.238
Seven and eight over the future and over the in days.
00:02:24.238 --> 00:02:28.642
And some of these things still have not happened today.
00:02:28.642 --> 00:02:32.346
Okay.
00:02:32.346 --> 00:02:33.514
We're still looking forward some of these things, but,
00:02:33.514 --> 00:02:36.450
Chapters seven through 12 take this whole new direction.
00:02:36.450 --> 00:02:40.221
And i want you to know this as well,
00:02:40.221 --> 00:02:41.522
So that you're not confused from now on.
00:02:41.522 --> 00:02:43.891
Nothing is going to be in chronological order.
00:02:43.891 --> 00:02:46.894
Okay.
00:02:46.894 --> 00:02:48.362
Meaning.
00:02:48.629 --> 00:02:49.530
And daniel, chapter seven, when we start,
00:02:49.530 --> 00:02:51.332
He's going to be
00:02:51.332 --> 00:02:52.566
Talking about a dream he had when babylon was still reigning.
00:02:52.566 --> 00:02:55.669
Okay?
00:02:55.669 --> 00:02:56.837
When belshazzar, the king, belshazzar was still the king,
00:02:56.837 --> 00:02:59.139
We know that he died in chapter five,
00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:01.242
So nothing is no longer in chronological order.
00:03:01.242 --> 00:03:03.911
We're kind of going back in time
00:03:03.911 --> 00:03:05.312
Because his ministry in babylon, and even with medium persia,
00:03:05.312 --> 00:03:08.749
It's done.
00:03:08.749 --> 00:03:09.950
So we're just hearing about his visions
00:03:09.950 --> 00:03:12.820
And his dreams of the future.
00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:15.623
Now, this is where it gets really interesting to me.
00:03:15.623 --> 00:03:18.192
Okay?
00:03:18.192 --> 00:03:19.393
The dreams that he saw all over the future were so intense
00:03:19.393 --> 00:03:22.997
To him that the bible says to us that he became
00:03:22.997 --> 00:03:27.368
Physically ill over what he saw.
00:03:27.368 --> 00:03:30.604
Let me show you this, daniel chapter eight, verse 27.
00:03:30.604 --> 00:03:34.441
And i daniel fainted.
00:03:34.942 --> 00:03:37.511
But notice the wording there.
00:03:37.511 --> 00:03:39.179
He fainted and was sick.
00:03:39.179 --> 00:03:40.948
For days
00:03:40.948 --> 00:03:42.583
Afterward i arose and i went about the king's
00:03:42.583 --> 00:03:45.219
Business, and i
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:46.420
Was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:50.858
So before we dive into the story,
00:03:50.858 --> 00:03:54.395
Let me ask you this question.
00:03:54.395 --> 00:03:55.596
Let's be real for a second.
00:03:55.596 --> 00:03:57.431
What do you do when fear starts to consume your mind?
00:03:57.431 --> 00:04:02.236
Maybe that's you right now.
00:04:02.836 --> 00:04:04.972
Maybe you're going through
00:04:04.972 --> 00:04:06.140
A difficult trial, but fear is starting to consume you.
00:04:06.140 --> 00:04:10.210
Okay, when fear starts to really take over your mind,
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:14.114
You start to feel so stressed.
00:04:14.114 --> 00:04:16.283
Maybe you've been through this.
00:04:16.283 --> 00:04:17.151
Maybe going through this right now.
00:04:17.151 --> 00:04:18.552
You can't eat, you can't sleep.
00:04:18.552 --> 00:04:21.789
Maybe you're losing hair.
00:04:21.789 --> 00:04:23.290
Maybe you're losing the the joy in your heart, right?
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:26.560
To deal with people.
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.062
Maybe you feel depression coming upon your life. why?
00:04:28.062 --> 00:04:31.632
Because you're so afraid about what might happen tomorrow.
00:04:31.632 --> 00:04:36.904
Possibly right now.
00:04:36.904 --> 00:04:38.372
Are you so afraid of what's happening in your life
00:04:38.372 --> 00:04:41.408
That you are becoming physically ill due to stress?
00:04:41.408 --> 00:04:46.547
Listen to this daniel chapter seven verse 28.
00:04:46.547 --> 00:04:49.883
He also stated, i, daniel, can you relate to this?
00:04:49.883 --> 00:04:53.153
I was terrified by my thoughts.
00:04:53.153 --> 00:04:56.690
Listen to the wording there.
00:04:57.291 --> 00:04:59.259
I was terrified by the thoughts in my head,
00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:02.796
By the direction my mind was going.
00:05:02.796 --> 00:05:05.999
Now, i think this is interesting
00:05:05.999 --> 00:05:07.868
Because he heard from the lord, but what god was sharing with
00:05:07.868 --> 00:05:11.438
Them still terrified him.
00:05:11.438 --> 00:05:13.340
And so then says that his face became pale with fear, but
00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:17.845
He kept these things to himself.
00:05:17.845 --> 00:05:21.615
Can you relate to this?
00:05:22.116 --> 00:05:24.118
And i get it, because within our culture
00:05:24.118 --> 00:05:25.786
Today, fear is in the air that we breathe.
00:05:25.786 --> 00:05:28.789
Like, do you ever get online or like watch tv and say,
00:05:28.789 --> 00:05:31.425
What is happening?
00:05:31.425 --> 00:05:33.127
Why are people so dumb?
00:05:33.127 --> 00:05:34.161
Like what's what's going on in this world today?
00:05:34.161 --> 00:05:36.563
And i got to be honest with you,
00:05:36.563 --> 00:05:37.798
Like, i'll get on tiktok and i don't even know
00:05:37.798 --> 00:05:40.200
If what i'm looking at is real anymore.
00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:43.070
Is it a real person or is it i?
00:05:43.070 --> 00:05:46.206
If you haven't been paying attention?
00:05:46.206 --> 00:05:47.608
Some things have been shifting in our culture lately.
00:05:47.608 --> 00:05:49.910
Just recently, google launched video three.
00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:53.614
They just dropped a new software for ai.
00:05:53.614 --> 00:05:56.483
So it's not just visuals and videos, but now i can speak
00:05:56.483 --> 00:06:00.721
And it's incredible.
00:06:01.188 --> 00:06:02.055
I've i've already seen some short films
00:06:02.055 --> 00:06:03.957
That were made in just minutes due to this new ai software.
00:06:03.957 --> 00:06:08.662
Now it can also go a scary route
00:06:08.662 --> 00:06:10.964
Because i've seen some people also post on social media
00:06:10.964 --> 00:06:14.468
That there is
00:06:14.468 --> 00:06:15.569
This video of three pastors blaspheming the gospel.
00:06:15.569 --> 00:06:19.540
Here's what's insane the pastors are real.
00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:22.643
They look real according to the video, it is all ai.
00:06:23.710 --> 00:06:27.414
The voice that they have is all a ai.
00:06:27.414 --> 00:06:30.250
And somebody would just put all these things together
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:32.119
To show you what this could lead to later on.
00:06:32.119 --> 00:06:36.290
Everything is about the shift.
00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:38.292
The culture is about to change.
00:06:38.292 --> 00:06:39.927
This changes our films.
00:06:39.927 --> 00:06:41.795
This changes creativity.
00:06:41.795 --> 00:06:43.464
This changes what is genuine and what is authentic
00:06:43.464 --> 00:06:46.567
And what is real. you're not going to know anymore.
00:06:46.567 --> 00:06:48.936
Does that scare you?
00:06:49.403 --> 00:06:50.804
And so i started thinking too, about the past five years
00:06:50.804 --> 00:06:54.708
Of what's happened. right.
00:06:54.708 --> 00:06:56.710
And we've seen some pretty crazy things.
00:06:56.710 --> 00:06:58.412
We've seen governmental meetings
00:06:58.412 --> 00:07:00.280
Look more like theatrical trailers from hollywood.
00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:03.650
Right?
00:07:03.851 --> 00:07:04.518
We've seen a terrorist attack.
00:07:04.518 --> 00:07:06.086
We've seen war in the middle east.
00:07:06.086 --> 00:07:07.988
We've seen war over jerusalem.
00:07:07.988 --> 00:07:09.656
And let me be very honest and clear with you.
00:07:09.656 --> 00:07:11.792
When you start to see war over
00:07:11.792 --> 00:07:13.060
Jerusalem, something prophetic is happening.
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:16.463
It is time to open up your eyes and see.
00:07:17.297 --> 00:07:20.868
Okay, god, what are you trying to tell me?
00:07:20.868 --> 00:07:24.371
Because a lot of times in our lives, we're so distracted.
00:07:24.371 --> 00:07:27.107
Yes, i get it. we all have problems.
00:07:27.107 --> 00:07:30.010
We have goals, we have family.
00:07:30.010 --> 00:07:32.079
We're busy.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.347
But do not miss the things that god is trying to reveal to you.
00:07:33.347 --> 00:07:38.185
Jesus is coming back.
00:07:38.685 --> 00:07:41.321
And the whole theme of this conference
00:07:41.321 --> 00:07:43.490
Is to awaken from your slumber,
00:07:43.490 --> 00:07:46.827
To awaken from your sleep, to set your eyes
00:07:46.827 --> 00:07:49.663
Back on god and say, god, i am ready to meet with you.
00:07:49.663 --> 00:07:53.066
I'm ready for revival
00:07:53.066 --> 00:07:56.403
Because i don't know
00:07:56.403 --> 00:07:57.504
If i can handle the thoughts in my head right now.
00:07:57.504 --> 00:08:00.107
There's other things that we've seen as well,
00:08:01.041 --> 00:08:03.644
But something that i'm
00:08:03.644 --> 00:08:06.914
More concerned about is this
00:08:06.914 --> 00:08:08.549
It seems like anxiety itself is trending
00:08:08.549 --> 00:08:12.819
Like a spirit of anxiety.
00:08:13.387 --> 00:08:15.389
Just this stress. i can't handle my work.
00:08:15.389 --> 00:08:18.225
I can't handle anything that doesn't feel comfortable
00:08:18.225 --> 00:08:21.228
And anxiety starts to overtake your mind.
00:08:21.228 --> 00:08:24.131
Let me say this, okay?
00:08:24.131 --> 00:08:25.232
Do not allow anxiety to become your god.
00:08:25.232 --> 00:08:28.535
There is a truth that jesus said to his disciples.
00:08:29.536 --> 00:08:32.072
He said, it's better that i go to be
00:08:32.072 --> 00:08:33.640
At the right hand of the father so that the spirit,
00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:36.643
The comforter, can come to you.
00:08:36.643 --> 00:08:40.314
The spirit of god lives inside of you.
00:08:40.314 --> 00:08:42.382
Guess what he brings into your life?
00:08:42.382 --> 00:08:45.052
Peace.
00:08:45.052 --> 00:08:46.320
He is the spirit of peace and truth.
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.423
So when the world is
00:08:49.423 --> 00:08:50.591
Lying to you because fear is a liar, right?
00:08:50.591 --> 00:08:54.695
Listen to the spirit of god.
00:08:54.695 --> 00:08:56.697
Instead god says, i know it seems bad,
00:08:56.697 --> 00:08:59.800
But i'm still in control.
00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:01.168
I know it seems like everything is crashing down,
00:09:02.169 --> 00:09:05.005
But just look, the signs are clear.
00:09:05.005 --> 00:09:08.475
Here's what fear does.
00:09:08.942 --> 00:09:10.177
It whispers, lies into your mind.
00:09:10.177 --> 00:09:13.547
Everything's not going to be okay.
00:09:14.314 --> 00:09:15.582
That's what you hear from fear, right?
00:09:15.582 --> 00:09:17.384
Everything's going to be out of control.
00:09:17.384 --> 00:09:19.386
No one is safe.
00:09:19.386 --> 00:09:20.787
Everything is lost.
00:09:20.787 --> 00:09:22.556
You know what i say today?
00:09:22.556 --> 00:09:23.624
Take back your mind.
00:09:23.624 --> 00:09:26.827
Somebody owns your mind.
00:09:26.827 --> 00:09:28.128
Who is it?
00:09:28.128 --> 00:09:29.162
Is it you or is it the enemy?
00:09:29.162 --> 00:09:32.065
Because the bible also states this, paul said,
00:09:32.065 --> 00:09:34.534
You can take the thoughts captive in your mind and force
00:09:34.534 --> 00:09:38.405
Those starts to look at the word of god.
00:09:38.405 --> 00:09:40.040
No, no, no, no,
00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:41.308
That thought is a lie because i know the truth of god's word.
00:09:41.308 --> 00:09:44.011
Right?
00:09:44.211 --> 00:09:45.145
And so we can take those thoughts captive,
00:09:45.145 --> 00:09:46.647
Take back your mind.
00:09:46.647 --> 00:09:48.515
That can happen today.
00:09:48.515 --> 00:09:50.651
And that means changes your perception though.
00:09:50.651 --> 00:09:53.086
Okay.
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.287
And so so what does that look like? all right.
00:09:54.287 --> 00:09:55.489
So when fear tells you the sky is falling you say no, no, no.
00:09:55.489 --> 00:09:58.492
By faith, my king, it's just coming back.
00:09:58.492 --> 00:10:00.727
That's what's happening here.
00:10:00.727 --> 00:10:02.195
You change your perception instead of being like doom
00:10:02.195 --> 00:10:05.699
And gloom. no, we're just getting closer.
00:10:05.699 --> 00:10:08.402
We're getting closer to perfection.
00:10:08.402 --> 00:10:10.904
We're getting closer to heaven on earth.
00:10:10.904 --> 00:10:13.807
And the truth is, god is revealing these things.
00:10:13.807 --> 00:10:16.510
And daniel, chapter seven.
00:10:16.510 --> 00:10:17.644
Daniel chapter eight,
00:10:17.644 --> 00:10:19.479
Not to feed your fear,
00:10:19.479 --> 00:10:21.915
But to show you that he knows the future.
00:10:21.915 --> 00:10:24.885
Okay, something even better than that.
00:10:24.885 --> 00:10:27.988
He's also revealing these things
00:10:27.988 --> 00:10:29.623
To prove to you he is in control of the future.
00:10:29.623 --> 00:10:33.994
He's showing you the future because he's there
00:10:33.994 --> 00:10:36.897
And he's in control of the future.
00:10:36.897 --> 00:10:39.433
Jeremiah chapter 29, verse 11.
00:10:39.433 --> 00:10:41.735
One of my favorite verses.
00:10:41.735 --> 00:10:43.537
The lord is speaking
00:10:43.537 --> 00:10:44.705
To his people of israel, but it shows us the character
00:10:44.705 --> 00:10:47.774
Of who god is.
00:10:47.774 --> 00:10:48.675
Listen to this, for
00:10:48.675 --> 00:10:49.776
I know the plans i have for you, says the lord.
00:10:49.776 --> 00:10:53.747
They are plans for good, not for disaster.
00:10:53.747 --> 00:10:57.984
To give you a future and a hope.
00:10:57.984 --> 00:11:00.520
He spoke this over people whom he knew would rebel against him.
00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:06.259
Something interesting in my personal reading.
00:11:06.259 --> 00:11:07.961
I've been in the book of deuteronomy now,
00:11:07.961 --> 00:11:10.197
And i'm reading right before moses is about to pass.
00:11:10.197 --> 00:11:13.500
And literally moses is about to pass and god
00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:16.269
Is revealing to him, my people will rebel after you're gone,
00:11:16.269 --> 00:11:20.574
My people are going to turn to false gods and idols,
00:11:21.608 --> 00:11:25.178
And they're going to worship the wrong things.
00:11:25.178 --> 00:11:27.147
Yet i still have a plan for them.
00:11:27.147 --> 00:11:31.218
God still has a plan for you.
00:11:31.852 --> 00:11:34.287
And so the title
00:11:34.287 --> 00:11:36.189
Of today's message is this don't fear the future.
00:11:36.189 --> 00:11:41.228
Are you afraid?
00:11:41.595 --> 00:11:42.462
Are you scared?
00:11:42.462 --> 00:11:44.364
Then trust the spirit of peace in your life
00:11:44.364 --> 00:11:46.299
Because you don't fear the future.
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:47.934
God is already there.
00:11:47.934 --> 00:11:50.137
And it's not just a motivational quote, okay?
00:11:50.137 --> 00:11:52.439
It's actually biblical truth. that's what i love about it.
00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:55.008
Let me show you this.
00:11:55.008 --> 00:11:55.942
Now this one, this one gives me chills.
00:11:55.942 --> 00:11:57.611
Isaiah 46 verse nine and ten
00:11:57.611 --> 00:12:01.414
I am god
00:12:01.681 --> 00:12:03.817
And there is no one like me.
00:12:03.817 --> 00:12:06.820
Only i can tell the future before it happens, okay?
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:12.325
Only i can tell the future before it happens.
00:12:12.325 --> 00:12:14.261
Everything i plan will come to pass.
00:12:14.261 --> 00:12:16.930
For i do whatever i wish.
00:12:16.930 --> 00:12:21.434
How powerful is that
00:12:21.902 --> 00:12:24.037
Again? look at somebody next to you.
00:12:24.037 --> 00:12:25.338
Remind them god is in control
00:12:25.338 --> 00:12:28.375
Even of your situation.
00:12:28.375 --> 00:12:30.010
Okay, so if you have your bibles,
00:12:30.010 --> 00:12:31.812
Go ahead and turn to daniel chapter seven.
00:12:31.812 --> 00:12:35.182
That's what we'll be today.
00:12:35.182 --> 00:12:37.017
And like i said, i got a lot of information
00:12:37.017 --> 00:12:39.753
To bring out to you guys.
00:12:39.753 --> 00:12:40.854
If you like apocalyptic literature, studying
00:12:40.854 --> 00:12:43.757
The end days, you're going to love today's message.
00:12:43.757 --> 00:12:45.592
But listen, this is still going to relate to everybody.
00:12:45.592 --> 00:12:48.028
This is going to speak into your life. okay.
00:12:48.028 --> 00:12:50.230
Point number one, we're going to talk
00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:51.464
About the rise of the beast, the rise of the beast.
00:12:51.464 --> 00:12:54.835
And maybe you're saying, pastor, what does that mean?
00:12:54.835 --> 00:12:57.003
Okay, let's read and i'll break it down as we go.
00:12:57.003 --> 00:13:00.807
Daniel, chapter seven, verses one through eight.
00:13:00.807 --> 00:13:04.511
Earlier, during the first year of king
00:13:04.511 --> 00:13:06.613
Shahzad's reign in babylon, daniel had a dream
00:13:06.613 --> 00:13:10.483
And he saw visions.
00:13:10.483 --> 00:13:12.219
As he lay in his bed.
00:13:12.219 --> 00:13:14.287
He wrote down the dream and this is what he saw.
00:13:14.287 --> 00:13:16.990
And again,
00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:18.058
This just proves that god does speak to us in dreams.
00:13:18.058 --> 00:13:20.660
Okay?
00:13:20.894 --> 00:13:22.062
But he lay down in his bed and he wrote down the dream,
00:13:22.062 --> 00:13:24.831
And this is what he saw in my vision.
00:13:24.831 --> 00:13:26.333
That night i, daniel, saw a great storm
00:13:26.333 --> 00:13:30.103
Churning the surface of the great sea
00:13:30.103 --> 00:13:34.407
With strong winds blowing from every direction.
00:13:34.407 --> 00:13:37.811
And then in his dream,
00:13:37.811 --> 00:13:39.246
We would consider this to be a nightmare.
00:13:39.246 --> 00:13:41.781
The four huge beasts came up out of the water,
00:13:41.781 --> 00:13:46.019
Each different from the others.
00:13:46.019 --> 00:13:49.322
Now he's going to explain what each beast look like
00:13:49.322 --> 00:13:52.325
And what they did.
00:13:52.325 --> 00:13:53.627
The first piece was like a lion with eagle's wings.
00:13:53.627 --> 00:13:58.498
As i watched, its wings were plucked off or pulled off,
00:13:58.498 --> 00:14:02.302
And it was left standing with its two hind feet
00:14:02.302 --> 00:14:05.171
On the ground like a human being.
00:14:05.171 --> 00:14:08.541
And then it was given a human mind.
00:14:08.541 --> 00:14:12.178
Then he states, i saw a second beast,
00:14:12.178 --> 00:14:14.614
And it looked more like a bear.
00:14:14.614 --> 00:14:16.983
It was rearing up on one side, and it had three
00:14:16.983 --> 00:14:20.453
Ribs in its mouth.
00:14:20.453 --> 00:14:21.721
So as you see this visual in your head, this bear
00:14:21.721 --> 00:14:25.358
With this means it said it's actually leaning on one side.
00:14:25.358 --> 00:14:29.262
We'll go over that pretty soon. okay.
00:14:29.262 --> 00:14:31.431
And it had three ribs in his mouth between his teeth.
00:14:31.431 --> 00:14:34.734
And i heard a voice saying to a get up
00:14:34.734 --> 00:14:38.405
And devour the flesh of many people.
00:14:38.405 --> 00:14:41.975
That's a nice dream right there.
00:14:42.609 --> 00:14:44.344
Okay.
00:14:44.344 --> 00:14:45.178
Then the third
00:14:45.178 --> 00:14:46.780
Of these strange beasts appeared and it looked like a leopard,
00:14:46.780 --> 00:14:50.483
And it had four birds wings on its back.
00:14:50.483 --> 00:14:53.086
And it also had four heads.
00:14:53.086 --> 00:14:55.722
Great authority was given to this beast
00:14:55.722 --> 00:14:59.426
Then in my vision that night.
00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:02.395
This is where everything changes.
00:15:02.395 --> 00:15:04.297
I saw a fourth beast.
00:15:04.297 --> 00:15:06.533
Terrifying, dreadful and very strong.
00:15:06.533 --> 00:15:10.870
It devoured and it crushed its victims with huge iron teeth
00:15:10.870 --> 00:15:16.142
And trampled the remains beneath his feet.
00:15:16.142 --> 00:15:20.313
It was different. now listen to the warning here.
00:15:20.313 --> 00:15:22.482
It was different from any of the other beasts.
00:15:22.482 --> 00:15:25.685
And it also had ten horns.
00:15:25.685 --> 00:15:29.255
As i was looking at the horns, suddenly
00:15:29.255 --> 00:15:32.559
Another small horn appeared among them.
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.729
Three of the first horns were torn out by the roots,
00:15:35.729 --> 00:15:39.532
Ripped out by the roots in this dream to make room for it.
00:15:39.532 --> 00:15:42.669
And the little horn had eyes like human eyes
00:15:42.669 --> 00:15:46.740
And a mouth that was boasting arrogantly.
00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:50.710
Are you thinking to yourself, what on earth did i just read?
00:15:50.710 --> 00:15:54.748
Like we're talking about beasts rising out of the sea.
00:15:55.782 --> 00:15:59.052
We're talking about this little horn that's talking smack.
00:15:59.052 --> 00:16:01.621
The people has eyes and a big mouth,
00:16:01.621 --> 00:16:04.657
And it's funny because in my head
00:16:04.657 --> 00:16:06.159
I get this visual of the annoying orange.
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.961
I don't know if you've ever seen that on youtube.
00:16:07.961 --> 00:16:09.929
My kids have watched it in the past,
00:16:09.929 --> 00:16:11.364
But it's like these big eyes and big mouths on this horn
00:16:11.364 --> 00:16:14.000
And it's just talking trash, right?
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.202
And so, like, i get it.
00:16:16.202 --> 00:16:17.037
I get why daniel is physically ill
00:16:17.037 --> 00:16:19.539
Because of these visions that he's having.
00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:21.441
But a lot of us will look at the situation
00:16:21.441 --> 00:16:23.710
And be like,
00:16:23.710 --> 00:16:24.511
Daniel, did you eat a lot of candy
00:16:24.511 --> 00:16:26.079
And watch a lot of avengers movies
00:16:26.079 --> 00:16:27.881
Last night for you to have this dream?
00:16:27.881 --> 00:16:31.618
But here's what i want to make clear to you.
00:16:31.618 --> 00:16:33.186
This is a dream from god.
00:16:33.186 --> 00:16:35.755
This is prophetic
00:16:36.189 --> 00:16:37.457
Vision from the lord over what is to come.
00:16:37.457 --> 00:16:41.428
And what does that happen in the end days?
00:16:41.428 --> 00:16:44.097
And this gets my attention because for a lot of us,
00:16:44.097 --> 00:16:48.101
If we had a crazy dream like that,
00:16:48.101 --> 00:16:50.437
We would just brush it off right now.
00:16:50.437 --> 00:16:53.440
Listen, there is a difference.
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.275
Be careful over what you eat,
00:16:55.275 --> 00:16:57.210
What you watch right before you go to bed.
00:16:57.210 --> 00:16:59.379
Understand?
00:16:59.379 --> 00:16:59.979
You going to have
00:16:59.979 --> 00:17:01.047
Some crazy dreams because that's our imagination.
00:17:01.047 --> 00:17:03.716
But at the same time,
00:17:03.716 --> 00:17:04.918
God is going to speak to you in dreams, out of the bible.
00:17:04.918 --> 00:17:08.822
There are times that god speaks to his people in a dream
00:17:08.822 --> 00:17:11.491
Very clearly.
00:17:11.491 --> 00:17:12.759
All right, mary and joseph leave.
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.961
King herod is coming to kill jesus.
00:17:14.961 --> 00:17:17.097
You need to go to egypt now.
00:17:17.097 --> 00:17:18.364
Okay? it's very clear.
00:17:18.364 --> 00:17:20.066
But there are also dreams out of the bible,
00:17:20.066 --> 00:17:21.935
Especially out of the old testament
00:17:21.935 --> 00:17:23.570
Where god is revealing truth.
00:17:23.570 --> 00:17:25.872
Do these symbols, why does he do that?
00:17:25.872 --> 00:17:29.175
To see who's interested in learning.
00:17:29.175 --> 00:17:32.412
To see who's interested in diving deeper.
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.449
Why did jesus teach with parables?
00:17:36.449 --> 00:17:39.152
He was weeding out those who really wanted
00:17:39.152 --> 00:17:41.354
To follow him and learn, and those that just had
00:17:41.354 --> 00:17:44.224
A surface level of christianity and wanted to take from him.
00:17:44.224 --> 00:17:48.728
And a lot of people said to jesus, well, if it means
00:17:48.728 --> 00:17:50.964
I gotta work for the answer, i'm going to leave.
00:17:50.964 --> 00:17:54.334
But a lot of them also stayed,
00:17:54.334 --> 00:17:56.769
The follower stayed, the 12 stayed.
00:17:56.769 --> 00:17:59.205
And then we see this,
00:17:59.205 --> 00:18:00.240
This rebirth because of the holy spirit
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.975
Re revealing all these mysteries in our life.
00:18:01.975 --> 00:18:04.911
And so god is speaking to the
00:18:04.911 --> 00:18:06.546
Symbolism here, and he didn't just brush it off.
00:18:06.546 --> 00:18:09.983
Daniel took the time
00:18:10.450 --> 00:18:13.186
To ask the lord.
00:18:13.186 --> 00:18:13.953
He knew it was from god.
00:18:13.953 --> 00:18:16.656
He also knew it was heavy.
00:18:16.656 --> 00:18:20.059
It was
00:18:20.260 --> 00:18:20.927
Difficult to process meaning
00:18:20.927 --> 00:18:24.063
Learn from daniel in this situation
00:18:24.864 --> 00:18:26.332
Because god does reveal and god does bring him peace.
00:18:26.332 --> 00:18:30.570
God may reveal something heavy in your life for a season,
00:18:30.570 --> 00:18:34.774
But he's asking to reveal the answers
00:18:35.608 --> 00:18:38.745
At his perfect timing and his perfect will,
00:18:38.745 --> 00:18:41.814
And he's going to hold your hand through the process.
00:18:41.814 --> 00:18:43.883
There is something you need to learn right now, so trust him.
00:18:43.883 --> 00:18:47.387
Okay, but before i unpack this delightful dream,
00:18:47.387 --> 00:18:50.857
Let me say this.
00:18:51.257 --> 00:18:52.458
Okay, here's what i want to do and do something different.
00:18:52.458 --> 00:18:54.327
I don't want to be dogmatic about what this means.
00:18:54.327 --> 00:18:58.264
Meaning, i've heard a lot of pastors preach on this topic,
00:18:58.264 --> 00:19:01.467
And usually they give you just one theory
00:19:01.467 --> 00:19:04.637
Based with what all this could mean now.
00:19:05.471 --> 00:19:08.408
So here's what i want to do.
00:19:08.408 --> 00:19:09.542
I'm going to actually give you two theories today
00:19:09.542 --> 00:19:11.778
Of what this could mean with this could represent.
00:19:11.778 --> 00:19:14.581
I'm going
00:19:14.581 --> 00:19:15.682
To give background to each, and i'm gonna allow you
00:19:15.682 --> 00:19:16.883
To decide which one you want to lean on. okay.
00:19:16.883 --> 00:19:19.586
Because if you lean on one and not the other, it's okay.
00:19:19.586 --> 00:19:22.522
It doesn't mess up your salvation
00:19:22.522 --> 00:19:24.157
In any way or your relationship with jesus christ.
00:19:24.157 --> 00:19:26.526
Because here's what i've learned even in my own life.
00:19:26.526 --> 00:19:28.361
Some mistakes that i made.
00:19:28.361 --> 00:19:29.362
When you're talking about prophecy,
00:19:29.362 --> 00:19:30.597
When you're talking about the future,
00:19:30.597 --> 00:19:31.898
You cannot be 100% correct all the time.
00:19:31.898 --> 00:19:34.901
We don't 100% know everything that's going to happen
00:19:34.901 --> 00:19:38.238
In every detail. god does.
00:19:38.238 --> 00:19:40.740
He reveals it over time.
00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:41.908
Sometimes he reveals it through puzzle pieces.
00:19:41.908 --> 00:19:43.776
You just got to be ready for that.
00:19:43.776 --> 00:19:45.178
Okay, but i want to share with you
00:19:45.178 --> 00:19:46.879
Two theories today of what this could mean.
00:19:46.879 --> 00:19:50.516
Okay, so let's go over
00:19:50.516 --> 00:19:52.752
The first theory, which is known as the traditional
00:19:52.752 --> 00:19:55.488
Historical view, the traditional historical view.
00:19:55.488 --> 00:20:00.093
This is what you're going to see in your commentaries.
00:20:00.093 --> 00:20:02.829
This is what you're going to see
00:20:02.829 --> 00:20:03.796
Most likely in your own bibles.
00:20:03.796 --> 00:20:05.598
This is what i learned in bible college,
00:20:05.598 --> 00:20:08.034
And pretty much with the traditional
00:20:08.034 --> 00:20:09.469
Historical view states, is
00:20:09.469 --> 00:20:10.870
This is that everything that daniel sees in this dream
00:20:10.870 --> 00:20:14.707
And daniel chapter seven will align with what
00:20:14.707 --> 00:20:18.311
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed.
00:20:18.311 --> 00:20:20.179
And daniel chapter two.
00:20:20.179 --> 00:20:22.148
Okay, so if you remember at the beginning of this series,
00:20:22.148 --> 00:20:24.651
I told you, oh,
00:20:24.651 --> 00:20:25.918
Okay, kingdom nebuchadnezzar had this futuristic dream.
00:20:25.918 --> 00:20:29.656
It scared him to death.
00:20:29.656 --> 00:20:30.723
Only daniel was the one to interpret it.
00:20:30.723 --> 00:20:32.825
And he saw this statue.
00:20:32.825 --> 00:20:34.894
And the statue
00:20:34.894 --> 00:20:36.062
Had different metals over different parts of the body.
00:20:36.062 --> 00:20:39.699
Each metal represented a kingdom that would come,
00:20:39.699 --> 00:20:43.936
But there was something special about the feet
00:20:43.936 --> 00:20:46.606
Mixed with iron and clay.
00:20:46.606 --> 00:20:48.574
It represented ten kings that would come together
00:20:48.574 --> 00:20:52.345
And give rule over to the antichrist.
00:20:52.345 --> 00:20:55.048
In the end days there was this rock that came from heaven.
00:20:55.048 --> 00:20:58.084
Who's the rock from heaven? jesus.
00:20:58.084 --> 00:21:01.220
And he came to crush that last empire
00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:04.090
To show us that jesus will reign forever.
00:21:04.090 --> 00:21:07.393
So a lot of commentators believe that this dream right here
00:21:07.393 --> 00:21:11.097
In daniel chapter seven, goes perfectly
00:21:11.097 --> 00:21:13.599
With what nebuchadnezzar dreamed in daniel chapter two,
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.470
The first thing we see is a lion with eagle's wings.
00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:22.542
Okay, so according to this theory,
00:21:22.542 --> 00:21:25.345
The lion with the eagle's wings represents
00:21:25.345 --> 00:21:28.314
Babylon, this represents king nebuchadnezzar,
00:21:28.314 --> 00:21:32.251
And it's very interesting. okay.
00:21:32.251 --> 00:21:33.853
And so here's what they say about this. all right.
00:21:33.853 --> 00:21:36.789
They believe this because
00:21:37.357 --> 00:21:38.458
The lion is actually the national symbol of babylon.
00:21:38.458 --> 00:21:42.095
The lion was the national symbol of babylon.
00:21:42.095 --> 00:21:44.764
And many scholars believe that it's significant
00:21:44.764 --> 00:21:46.933
When it says that the wings were pulled out.
00:21:46.933 --> 00:21:49.135
Plucked out.
00:21:49.135 --> 00:21:50.269
Because. do you remember the story of nebuchadnezzar?
00:21:50.269 --> 00:21:52.638
Do you remember his fall?
00:21:52.638 --> 00:21:54.540
He was very prideful and arrogant,
00:21:54.540 --> 00:21:56.843
And he looked at the great city of babylon,
00:21:56.843 --> 00:21:58.811
And he said, look at what i have built.
00:21:58.811 --> 00:22:01.481
And while he was speaking these words,
00:22:01.481 --> 00:22:04.016
An angel came to him and humbled him.
00:22:04.016 --> 00:22:07.120
Immediately he lost his mind.
00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:10.390
Let me give you another warning today.
00:22:11.157 --> 00:22:12.925
Be careful about what words come out of your mouth.
00:22:12.925 --> 00:22:16.429
I feel like within culture today,
00:22:17.130 --> 00:22:19.165
We're getting kind of loose with the words that we say,
00:22:19.165 --> 00:22:22.568
The things that we say. why?
00:22:22.568 --> 00:22:23.669
Because it's in every movie and every song.
00:22:23.669 --> 00:22:26.439
All these things that we see today. i get that.
00:22:26.439 --> 00:22:28.341
But you must guard your mouth.
00:22:28.341 --> 00:22:30.943
Especially when it comes to pride, because you may think
00:22:30.943 --> 00:22:34.947
You're getting away with it.
00:22:34.947 --> 00:22:36.082
You have all these achievements.
00:22:36.082 --> 00:22:37.250
But let me tell you right now,
00:22:37.250 --> 00:22:38.384
God will meet you and he will humble you.
00:22:38.384 --> 00:22:40.620
And so that's what happened to nebuchadnezzar.
00:22:41.554 --> 00:22:43.356
Look at what i built.
00:22:43.356 --> 00:22:44.457
And then he became like a mad man.
00:22:44.457 --> 00:22:46.359
Now look at this again, daniel.
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.461
Chapter seven, verse four.
00:22:48.461 --> 00:22:50.530
As i watched, its wings were pulled off,
00:22:50.530 --> 00:22:55.501
And it was left standing with its two hind
00:22:55.501 --> 00:22:57.804
Feet on the ground like a human being.
00:22:57.804 --> 00:23:01.140
Now notice this at the very end, and it was given a human mind.
00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:06.712
The fact that it says that could symbolize
00:23:06.712 --> 00:23:09.282
When nebuchadnezzar lost his mind,
00:23:09.282 --> 00:23:12.185
And then after a seven year period,
00:23:12.185 --> 00:23:15.621
He was restored by god, and sanity came back to him.
00:23:15.621 --> 00:23:20.159
His mind was restored.
00:23:20.626 --> 00:23:22.495
Listen, the moment he looked up.
00:23:22.495 --> 00:23:25.598
The biggest revelation out of that story is that he had
00:23:25.598 --> 00:23:27.900
Seven years of feeling insane.
00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:31.871
But in a second of looking up, he was restored.
00:23:31.871 --> 00:23:35.508
And again, you may have seven years
00:23:36.275 --> 00:23:37.677
Where you feel the exact same way.
00:23:37.677 --> 00:23:39.111
Maybe it's been ten, maybe it's been 20.
00:23:39.111 --> 00:23:40.780
Maybe it's been 50 years of feeling like nothing will go
00:23:40.780 --> 00:23:43.916
Right. listen, look up.
00:23:43.916 --> 00:23:47.019
And allow your sanity to be restored here.
00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:50.156
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:23:50.156 --> 00:23:52.558
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:23:52.558 --> 00:23:56.295
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:23:56.295 --> 00:23:58.831
It's not by mistake.
00:23:58.831 --> 00:24:00.299
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:04.203
And listen, if you love this church
00:24:04.203 --> 00:24:06.372
And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
00:24:06.372 --> 00:24:09.275
Is visit our website at bobby chandler ministries.com.
00:24:09.275 --> 00:24:13.179
And it's very easy to give.
00:24:13.179 --> 00:24:14.680
And once you give, listen, you're helping change lives.
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.251
Because of your faithful giving.
00:24:18.251 --> 00:24:20.253
We're able to reach not only the nation, but the world.
00:24:20.253 --> 00:24:23.923
We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
00:24:23.923 --> 00:24:26.392
Into everyone's home as much as we can,
00:24:26.392 --> 00:24:29.829
So that they know the love of god.
00:24:29.829 --> 00:24:32.832
And listen.
00:24:32.832 --> 00:24:33.966
If you want to hear more sermons as well, don't forget

You can join us live every sunday 815 10:00, and 1145.
00:24:35.768 --> 00:24:41.140
So thank you for watching today
00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:43.442
And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:24:43.442 --> 00:24:46.445
All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
00:24:46.445 --> 00:24:48.981
And this one's a big one.
00:24:48.981 --> 00:24:50.149
Okay.
00:24:50.149 --> 00:24:50.516
This year
00:24:50.516 --> 00:24:51.284
We held our very
00:24:51.284 --> 00:24:52.351
First awaking conference in hickory, north carolina
00:24:52.351 --> 00:24:55.621
For authentic church.
00:24:55.621 --> 00:24:56.856
And we saw
00:24:56.856 --> 00:24:58.024
People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
00:24:58.024 --> 00:25:01.861
And even outside of the country
00:25:01.861 --> 00:25:03.563
To experience what god is doing here.
00:25:03.563 --> 00:25:05.831
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:25:05.831 --> 00:25:11.203
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:25:11.203 --> 00:25:14.073
And if you want to look into more details
00:25:14.073 --> 00:25:16.442
Over the conference,
00:25:16.442 --> 00:25:17.410
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:25:17.410 --> 00:25:19.178
In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
00:25:19.178 --> 00:25:22.915
We and be happy.
00:25:23.316 --> 00:25:28.120
Be. and
00:25:28.354 --> 00:25:47.540
The reason i even bring it up tonight
00:25:47.540 --> 00:25:51.043
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
00:25:51.043 --> 00:25:55.815
The gospel message is all about
00:25:55.815 --> 00:25:58.751
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:25:58.751 --> 00:26:03.022
Who inform your methods of getting to know the man.
00:26:03.022 --> 00:26:19.605
He. left.
00:26:19.905 --> 00:26:37.356
This job doesn't work out for me.
00:26:37.356 --> 00:26:39.492
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:26:39.492 --> 00:26:43.229
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:26:43.229 --> 00:26:46.132
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:26:46.132 --> 00:26:49.035
But i would rather move by faith
00:26:49.035 --> 00:26:50.870
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
00:26:50.870 --> 00:26:54.740
And i ended up exactly.
00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:55.975
Where i needed to be.
00:26:55.975 --> 00:27:27.373
You know what today is
00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:29.842
Pentecost sunday.
00:27:29.842 --> 00:27:33.012
Pentecost sunday.
00:27:33.446 --> 00:27:36.682
Who? you better
00:27:37.049 --> 00:27:39.051
Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:27:39.051 --> 00:27:42.822
I came here to remind you.
00:27:43.389 --> 00:27:45.191
You need the holy spirit.
00:27:45.191 --> 00:27:45.191
