A masterful temptation. Grand music from the Chaldean International Philharmonic Orchestra. The biggest idol they had ever worshipped. The Big Apple that Satan offered to Eve must have been shiny and bright red. The ways of evil are filled with attraction, bright lights and loud sounds calling us over to do what God forbids us to do.
Temptations are always exciting.
The back seat of a car, the music, and the drugs all add to the appeal to do what God does not want you to do, what He forbids you to do. These three Hebrew worthies were in a delimma. If they obeyed God they would be thrown into a furnace of fire. If they obeyed the king they would lose eternal life and be cast into a lake of fire. Sometimes we face a similar delimma in 1996.
