Editor's Notes
- You’ve been staring s\at this screen for awhile—any guesses as to my categories over here? Our lesson today talks of Daniel who foretold about God’s Kingdom starting out as a SMALL PEBBLE of 6 people in Fayette New York and has grown to 16million one hundred and 18thousand one hundred sixty nine.

- Hold onto the pebble you saw sitting on your chair today and think of the humble beginnings of God’s church as we study lesson #46 We should officially start with welcoming ANY VISITORS?? Follow along on Slideshare.net Ldsot46 I’ve asked _________________________________ Opening Prayer **AS we study Daniel today we are just in chapter 2 I’ve got two Readers today
- Let’s remember where we are in the history of the Children of Israel Judah the Southern Kingdomn will fall to Babylon in 586BC but 20 year prior they Took a few skilled craftsman to educate in Babylon and Daniel was part of that group Serve and learn in King Nebchudnezzar’s court– they were given new Babylonian names
- After R1—everyone says yes tell us the dream and we will give you an intrprteattion but the King refuses R2— I want to pause for just a second here for an object lesson that requires a volunteer---
- I would like you to make this same white sheet of paper that I have made HERE You can fold, cut whatever you need to make this same sheet of paper ASK ANYONE FOR HELP I will show you how it is done---Who should you jave asked for help? MEEEEE What questionable sources do people today turn to when they need help answering difficult questions or making decisions? What keeps many people from seeking God’s guidance in such situations? Daniel turned to the right source let’s see how Let’s take a break from the story for a minute—I need a volunteer Here’s the secret “I told you you could ask anyone for help—Who should you have asked? ME Daniel went to the “right” source for the answer to the secret of the dream, let’s read about it Daniel 2:17-19
- So the dream is revealed to Daniel in a vision but before he goes to the king with it is 5 verses of praising God For answering his prayers let’s read just one of those verses 23 Daniel does not try to take credit for interpreting the dream—Let’s read vs 28
- The dream involves seeing a great image and a rock
- Listen to this video for the ways that Hinkley suggests we move this work forward—so we can discuss them at the end
- I believe their were many that believed those crazy Mormons would just disappear after the death of Joseph Smith. I think it is fitting to use his own words here—if you remember the Standard of Truth “The standard of truth has been erected; No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done.” J.S. I add my testimony to that of Joseph—This is the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ It will continue with or without us so let’s be a part of it
- Next year we go to the__________ world of Jerusalem and follow in the footsteps of our Savior, Also, going to just every other week to have Gospel Doctrine Take a look at the come follow me our first lesson “We are responsible for our own learning”—read and find out how Closing Prayer_______________________________________________
