Provoking to anger through deception is a very nasty thing. Wrath in the religious sense is to provoke the children into pagan idolatry often as a fit of anger created by false preachers. If you cannot provoke to wrath can you force them to celebrate wrath. Pagan rituals intended to express the anger of the goddesses who were not given their worship.

2. The superior races and their manifestations
In what does a dæmon differ from a hero or half-god or from a soul? 7 It is it in essence, in power, or in energy? 87. Here Porphyry has given an ancient classification of spiritual beings into four orders, the gods, dæmons or guardians, the heroes or half-gods, and souls. There were other distinctions in the Eastern countries, and we find Abammon, the Teacher, adding to these the archangels, angels, and archons of both the higher and lower nature. These were named in several of the Gnostic categories that were extant at that period.
"We have no conflict with blood and flesh," says the Christian apostle, "but with archonates, authorities, the world-rulers of this dark region, and spiritual forces of evil in the upper heavens."
At His first Advent He spoke face-to-face to chosen apostles and promised to guide them into all truth. When that was finished all of the "parts" of each inspired person became "that which was complete." Peter especially uses this to mark anyone who does not speak that whichhas been recorded for them.
The resurce for the ekklesia or synagogue or church then became the Prophets and the prophecies made more perfect. Giving attention to these writings would mold us to be in the image of Jesus Christ.
PAUL OFTEN COMMENTING ON THE PROPHETS UNDERSTANDS THE MESSAGEIsa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey.
And the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.Isa 59:16 And he saw that there was no man,
and wondered that there was no intercessor:
therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
and his righteousness, it sustained him.Isa 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation upon his head;
and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
and was clad with zeal as a cloak.2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.Isa 59:18 According to their deeds,
accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries,
recompense to his enemies;
to the islands he will repay recompense.Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west,
and his glory from the rising of the sun.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and
unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. Isa 59:20Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted [TURN], that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
The word RETURN or CONVERT is done ONLY at the time and place of baptism in the New Testament.
Isa 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord;
My spirit that is upon thee,
and my words which I have put in thy mouth,
shall not depart out of thy mouth,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed,
saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Eph. 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
Eph. 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God,

In First Corinthians Paul compared speaking in foreign tongues or dialects to "lifeless musical instruments" which have no "spirit" and therefore cannot speak.Eph 6: 12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Ep.4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

With elaborate planning she persuaded her husband, the watcher of the Magnesians, to be a partner in her plot, and she forged a false story;[30] that Peleus had made an attempt on her[31] in Acastus' own bed. But the opposite was true; for she often begged him and coaxed him with all her heart, but her reckless words provoked his temper.

The priests there are said to be, for the most part, astronomers and philosophers. The former compute the days, not by the moon, but by the sun, introducing into the twelve months of thirty days each five days every year. But in order to complete the whole year, because there is (annually) an excess of a part of a day, they form a period from out of whole days and whole years, the supernumerary portions of which in that period, when collected together, amount to a day.4 They ascribe to Mercury all knowledge of this kind. To Jupiter, whom they worship above all other deities, a virgin of the greatest beauty and of the most illustrious family (such persons the Greeks call pallades) is dedicated. She prostitutes herself with whom she pleases, until the time occurs for the natural purification of the body; she is afterwards married; but before her marriage, and after the period of prostitution, they mourn for her as for one dead.
Pallak-euō ,Thebes The Temple of Ptah—identified with the Greek Hephaistos, and Hathor, identified with Aphrodite—has gateways which were added during the Ptolemaic period. The fine granite gateway which lies in front of the temple of the war god Mont was built by Ptolemy Philadelphos. The small chapel to the W of the temple is also a work of the Ptolemies. The gateway of the Temple of Mut was erected by Ptolemy I Soter. Here the king is represented shaking the sistrum, the queen plays the harp, and a princess beats a tamborine before Mut and Sekhmet.

Pindar, Nemean 7. But it is by your favor that, even so, Sogenes the son of Thearion, distinguished by his excellence, is celebrated in song as glorious among pentathletes.[9] For he lives in a city that loves music, the city of the Aeacidae with their clashing spears;[10] and they very much want to foster a spirit familiar with contests. If someone is successful in his deeds, he casts a cause for sweet thoughts into the streams of the Muses. For those great acts of prowess dwell in deep darkness, if they lack songs, and we know of only one way to hold a mirror up to fine deeds:[15] if, by the grace of Mnemosyne with her splendid headdress, one finds a recompense for toils in glorious song.[17] Skillful men know the wind that will come on the day after tomorrow, and they do not suffer loss through the love of gain. The rich man and the poor man alike travel together to the boundary of death.
[20] And I expect that the story of Odysseus came to exceed his experiences,

a certain solemnity in his lies and winged artfulness, and
poetic skill deceives, seducing us with stories,

.......... neither doth justice overtake us:

.......... for brightness, but we walk in darkness.will not come to the light

Lifeless Instruments or Carnal Weapons are sourced by Lucifer the singing and harp-playing prostitute in the garden of Eden and the Babylon mother of harlots in Revelation 17 who uses speakers, singers and instrument players called SORCERERS. Anything the devil can do to SPEAK ON HIS OWN or to take your attention away from the knowledge of God is the method of Satanic Agents.
In order to DEFEAT the "castles" of these agents, believers have ONLY the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. If the North Koreans blow trumpets in order to turn you into cowards WHY would you join him and blow trumpets: why wouldn't you keep your eyes and ears open with your WEAPONS aimed and ready with a cool hand.1 Sam 8:11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
1 Sam 8:12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
Keliy (h3627) kel-ee'; from 3615; something prepared, i. e. any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon): - armour ([-bearee]), artillery, bag, carriage, / furnish, furniture, instrument, jewel, that is made of, * one from another, that which pertaineth, pot, / psaltery, sack, stuff, thing, tool, vessel, ware, weapon, / whatsoever.
The same word is used for a WEAPON or a PSALTERY
In 1 Corinthians 14 the LIFELESS INSTRUMENT is also the CARNAL WEAPONS
PAUL SAID THAT WE CANNOT FIGHT THESE POWERS USING MUSICAL WEAPONS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY USE ON THE GODLY PEOPLE. That musical instruments are derived from the Devil is so well accepted that people claim that if they are good enough for the DEVIL then we should use the same instruments. Paul said NO!
1Cor. 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
A Lifeless Instruments has the same meaning as a Carnal weapon. There can be no doubt that musical weapons attack only the flesh.

Heredotus 4.200 [2] The Persians besieged Barce for nine months, digging underground passages leading to the walls, and making violent assaults. As for the tunnels, a blacksmith discovered them by the means of a bronze shield, and this is how he found them: carrying the shield around the inner side of the walls, he struck it against the ground of the city;[3] Persians who were digging underground. Thus the tunnels were discovered, and the assaults were repelled by the townsfolk. all the other places which he struck returned a dull sound; but where there were tunnels, the bronze of the shield rang clear.

Prometheus [645] For visions of the night, always haunting my maiden chamber, sought to beguile me with seductive words, saying: “O damsel greatly blessed of fortune, why linger in your maidenhood so long when it is within your power to win a union of the highest? Zeus is inflamed by passion's dart[650] for you and is eager to unite with you in love. Do not, my child, spurn the bed of Zeus, but go forth to Lerna's meadow land of pastures deep and to your father's flocks and where his cattle feed, so that the eye of Zeus may find respite from its longing.”
Horace Odes 2.Eph. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation,
Ay, Venus smiles; the pure nymphs smile,
And Cupid, tyrant-lord of hearts,
Sharpening on bloody stone the while
His fiery darts.

New slaves are bred; and those before,
Though oft they threaten, never leave
Your godless door.

Nymphs: They tended to frequent areas distant from humans, but could be encountered by lone travellers outside the village, where their music might be heard, and the traveller could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool, either during the noon heat or in the middle of the night. They might appear in a whirlwind. Such encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the unfortunate human. When parents believed their child to be nereid-struck they would pray to Saint Artemidos, the Christian manifestation of Artemis.[3][4]

But when he had donned the yoke of Necessity, with veering of mind, [220] impious, unholy, unsanctified, from that moment he changed his intention and began to conceive that deed of uttermost audacity. For wretched delusion, counsellor of ill, primal source of woe, makes mortals bold. So then he hardened his heart to sacrifice his daughter [225] so that he might further a war waged to avenge a woman, and as an offering for the voyage of a fleet!Again, let us grant that the work of the spirit is to cause life, and that being alive is employment and being awake (for sleep is a kind of inactivity and rest); with the consequence that since the work of the spirit and that of its goodness are necessarily one and the same, the work of goodness would be good life. Therefore this is the perfect good, which as we saw is happiness. And it is clear from the assumptions laid down (for we said that happiness is the greatest good and that the Ends or the greatest of goods are in the spirit, but things in the spirit are either a state or an activity) that, since an activity is a better thing than a disposition and the best activity than the best state, and since goodness is the best state, the activity of goodness is the spirit's greatest good. But also we saw that the greatest good is happiness.
Therefore happiness is the activity of a good spirit. And since we saw1 that happiness is something perfect, and life is either perfect or imperfect, and the same with goodness (for some goodness is a whole and some a part), but the activity of imperfect things is imperfect, it would follow that happiness is an activity of perfect life in accordance with perfect goodness.

The same lusted after fruits used by the Babylon mother of harlots has the same meaning: when they invade the worship IN SPIRIT even though Paul warned you NOT to let them in, it is a MARK of the wolves and God will NOT pass by them again for ever more.
