And to think, was gonna ditch church, glad i went. A little math.

In Daniel 3:1, Nebuchadnezzar's gold statue -  the one he commanded everyone to fall down and worship, as soon as the music started - was 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide.  Because 1 cubit is about 1/2 yard, the statue would be 30 yards high and 3 yards wide; in feet, that's 90 X 9.

That statue must of included several steps, because, a muscle-bound man who stands about 6 feet tall, and measures about 3 feet from bicep to bicep, the ratio is about 2:1.  Six feet tall, 3 feet wide.  The depth, where the steps extend (?) isn't given.  Thing is, if the statue is all of just Nebuchadnezzar, then his physical proportion would be that of an exceedingly, cartoonishly, skinny man - the ratio being 9:1.  

The part of the statue showing him, would likely be standing atop a flight of steps, and atop his head, a texas-sized war-lord's helment.   That would mean, his physical  image, including the headgear, would be about 20-25 feet tall.  And the remaining 60-some feet is either platform, or maybe, the statue's setting was that of a cathedral-like throne room - like something you'd see in one of those fancy salvation-by-works churches...where the pretty-hatted guys, who run the place, don't have much to do - if anything, really - with Scripture, and they don't want luzer YOU reading the Bible either.  (But they sure want to know your business, and want your money.)

Anyway, happened before.  Thought about ditching church, but thought the better, and went.  It's true, if ya skip church - where the Bible is for-real preached - ya miss out on the blessing.
