Daniel 3:4 "Then an herald cried
aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,"
This leaves no one out. It includes
all people who are near enough to hear the herald. Notice, also, this is not a
request, but a command.
Daniel 3:5 "[That] at what time
ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and
all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:"
The children of Israel worshipped the golden calf on the way
to the Promised Land. They danced, and sang and the Bible speaks of revelry
going on. The music seems to accompany worship of false gods, as well as the
True God.
Music prepares the
heart to receive a message. We are told over and over to worship God with songs
of praise. There is nothing wrong with music. There could be something wrong
with the type of music we listen to. To fall down and worship a false god is
the height of abomination.
