Each year when it is read I can hardly conceal a smile as the author lists (and not just once) the titles of the king's advisors — the satraps, prefects, governors, counselors, treasurers, justices, magistrates, and officials of the provinces — or as he takes delight (again not just once)
in naming the musical instruments that called people to
worship the golden statue — the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp,
drum, and the entire musical ensemble.
As most people go to church for only and hour on the Pagan sun god's day of
worship, and only get a very watered down feel good sermon with a text book
drummed into them interpretation, there is very little Bible and Scripture
in church.
