Understanding Daniel 3-Part 1

In this post, I am focusing on the golden image, and the circumstances surrounding the worship of the image. 
  If you read my posts on Daniel 2, you remember the image in king Nebuchadnezzar's dream.  Daniel, through info God had given him, told Nebuchadnezzar that his kingdom, Babylon, was represented by the head of gold, and that Babylon would fall to a weaker kingdom, Medo-Persia. 
  In Daniel 3, king Nebuchadnezzar rebelled against the word of the one true God, and perverted the message from God, and built an image of all gold, representing that Babylon would never fall to another kingdom.  The king then demanded worship for what he considered his kingdom.  Daniel 3:1, "Nebuchadnezzar the king [caused to be] made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits or ninety feet and its breadth six cubits or nine feet, 60 by 6. He set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon."  The number 6 was a heathen symbol that Babylon used. 
  Have you ever tried to change something God says to you about your life?  "Well, maybe He won't mind if I do this instead..." as we make excuses for our priorities.  Sometimes, I have tried to fit God into my plans, and all too soon I realize what a mess I have made of my life.  God cannot fit into our plans.  He is all knowing, and our little plans must fit into His.  With some, it is outright rebellion against God's word.  It always leads to an unhappy conclusion, but God forgives and heals.   
  Daniel 3:2-4, "and he commanded his governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, and his other officials to come from everywhere in his kingdom to the dedication of the statue.  So all of them came and stood in front of it.
 Then an official stood up and announced:
People of every nation and race, now listen to the king's command!  Trumpets, flutes, harps, and all other kinds of musical instruments will soon start playing. When you hear the music, you must bow down and worship the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.  Anyone who refuses will at once be thrown into a flaming furnace.
  As soon as the people heard the music, they bowed down and worshiped the gold statue that the king had set up.
  I will stop here and focus on the power of music and media to facilitate false worship.  Please carefully listen to the following video with an open heart.  This is part 1 of 9 parts.  If you like part 1, please continue watching the rest on you tube.  Scott Mayer, Battlefield Hollywood, part 1
