Assemblies of God Music and Song in Worship
Assemblies.of.God.Music.and.Song.in.Worship: Music and musical instruments appear near the beginning of the biblical record. As early as Genesis 4:21, Jubal is mentioned as the “father of all who play the harp and flute.” The Old Testament mentions 16 or more musical instruments in both worship and non-worship settings. The New Testament mentions four (or five if the “gong”of 1 Corinthians 13:1 is included).
An assembly, synagogue or ekklesia is defined exclusively to read and understand material handed down from a higher power. Because this is rarely discerned in the clear inclusive and exclusive passages, theologians decide that they need entertainment to "make the medicine go down." As a result they ignore the story line and just lift "musical" or "instrumental" passages out of context and by definition "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter." There is nothing you can offer God as "worship" other than to give attendance to the reading and understanding of His Word. Without spending too much time over "musical" events this paper will concentrate on some of the connections between music and the serpent beginning in the garden of Eden.
THEREFORE, THE DISCIPLE OF THE WORD WILL WANT TO KNOW THAT MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ARE THE CAUSE OR MARK OF THOSE "MAKING THE LAMBS DUMB BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER"--INCLUDING JESUS AND ALWAYS CONNECTED WITH BURNING.
- In Genesis 49 Jacob warned against the Levi tribe who had the same attributes as the RACE OF SERPENTS in the garden and Babylon. The godly people always attended synagogue as a School Only by non-mercinary Patriarchs.
- God did not command king, kingdom, temple, animal slaughter (Isaiah 1; Jeremiah 7) or the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levites whose instrumental prophesying is defined as soothsaying or sorcery.
- Because of Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted and Egyptian-Babylonian idolatry at Mount Sinai God abandoned them and sentenced them to captivity and death in Assyria or Babylon.
- Theologians look for mere mentions of music or an instrument even if it is the song of the prostitute or making noise during the HOLOCAUST of the innocent animals which already belonged to God.
- Theology is the science the the laws of Apollon -- Abaddon. The Jew's SERVICE is the same Abadown.
- The only personified spirit is that of Apollon one of the "unknown gods" worshipped at Athens.
- HOWEVER, from Genesis to Revelation music is RESOURCED from Lucifer as the "singing and harp playing prostitute."
- In Revelation 17 the same Babylon mother of harlots uses lusted after fruits (same as Amos 8) as speakers, singers or instrument players.
- In Revelation 18 Jesus instructs John to call them SORCERERS who HAD once deceived the whole world.
- They will be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Hes. Th. 48 And they, uttering their immortal voice, celebrate in song first of all the revered race of the gods [45] from the beginning, those whom Earth and wide Heaven begot, and the gods sprung of these, givers of good things. Then next, the goddesses sing of Zeus, the father of gods and men, as they begin and end their strain, how much he is the most excellent among the gods and supreme in power. [50] And again, they chant the race of men and strong giants, and gladden the heart of Zeus within Olympus,—the Olympian Muses, daughters of Zeus the aegis-holder.The Muses are John's Locusts:
Hes. Th. 1 from the Heliconian Muses let us begin to sing [aeidein], who hold the great and holy mount of Helicon, and dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring and the altar of the almighty son of Cronos, [5] and, when they have washed their tender bodies in Permessus or in the Horse's Spring or Olmeius, make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helicon and move with vigorous feet. Thence they arise and go abroad by night,
[10] veiled in thick mist, and utter their song [humneusai ]with lovely voice, praising Zeus the aegis-holder, and queenly Hera of Argos who walks on golden sandals, and the daughter of Zeus the aegis-holder bright-eyed Athena, and Phoebus Apollo [Apollōna], and Artemis who delights in arrows,
[15] and Poseidon the earth holder who shakes the earth, and revered Themis, and quick-glancing Aphrodite, and Hebe with the crown of gold, and fair Dione, Leto, Iapetus, and Cronos the crafty counsellor, Eos, and great Helius, and bright Selene, [The moon goddess of Lectio-Divina Hailing Mary the Mother of God]
[20] Earth, too, and great Oceanus, and dark Night, and the holy race of all the other deathless ones that are for ever. And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song [aoidēn] while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me—
[25] the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis:
“Shepherds of the wilderness,
wretched things of shame, mere bellies,
we know how to speak many false things as though they were true;
but we know, when we will, to utter true things.”

PSALM 41 and in the Dead Sea Scrolls Prophesied the Judas Attack
- DSS: "The priests shall blow the trumpets of massacre, and
- the Levites and all the blowers of the ram's horn
- .........shall sound a battle alarm,
- .........and the foot soldiers shall stretch out their hands against the host...
- and at the sound of the alarm
- .........they shall begin to bring down the slain.
- All the people shall cease their clamor,
- .........but the priests shall continue
- .........to blow the trumpets of massacre." - War Scroll
- All who have eaten my bread
- .........have lifted their heel against me (cf John 13:18)
- .........And all those joined to my Council
- .........have mocked me with wicked lips. (Children piping and chiding.)
- They have overtaken me in a narrow pass (gap) without escape
- .........And there is no rest for me in my trial.
- .........They sound my censure upon a harp
- .........and their murmuring and storming upon a zither." Ps.41:11
However, of Jesus:
- Anguish seizes me
- .........like the pangs of a woman in travail, (John 16:21)
- .........and my heart is troubled within me.
- .........I am clothed in blackness
- .........and my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth. (Vermes, 165f)
I will groan with the zither of lamentation
.........in all grief-stricken mourning and bitter complaint
.........until iniquity and wickedness are consumed
.........and the disease-bringing scourge is no more
HERE IS HOW IT HAPPENED AT THE FIRST AND SECOND ADVENT.
- I will sing with knowledge and all my music
- shall be for the glory of God.
- (My) lyre (and) my harp shall sound
- for His holy order
and I will tune the pipe of my lips to His right measure
Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head,
and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him,
and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Matthew 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Matthew 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him,
and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Music was always the sign that God had abandoned people to their own false worship: God turned the Jews over to worship the starry host. If you grasp anything out of the Law or the abandoned Monarchy as a pattern you missed the prophets where the Spirit OF Christ condemned them. Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry was the rich people rising up to PLAY both instrumentally and homosexuality. Psalm 22 shows that the "dog" or Catamites would attempt to divert Jesus from His goals.
This can be understood by Psalm 41 especially the copy at the Dead Sea and the actual fulfillment.

God is the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle. The words for teaching and admonishing (comfort) are SPEAK and READ. Jesus was the Audible-Visible Logos and He spoke only what God the Father breathed (spirit) into Him. In Isaiah 8 the Spirit OF Christ said of those who do not Speak the Word that THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM.
Speak or Logos which uniquely defines worship IN SPIRIT excludes anything beyond PREACHING the Word by READING the Word for doctrine and Comfort.

GOD DID NOT COMMAND KING, KINGDOM, TEMPLE, ANIMAL SLAUGHTER AND "MUSIC" DEFINED AS SOOTHSAYING OR SORCERY
Genesis was written after the Israelites rose up (against God) in Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry. God sentenced them to captivity and death in Assyria and Babylon. Moses defined the Sumerian and other nations c. BC 4000 which had confiscated all of the free farm land and animals. People had to appear at the towers or Ziggurats such as at Jerusalem to pay money to get their own property back because the priests claimed that they protected the people from dangerous gods and made certain that the gods gave them many lambs.
In Genesis 49 Jacob cursed the Levites and warned people not to attend their assemblies or to enter into a covenant with Levi. The Levites were cursed because they were like the same murderous descendants of Cain.
Genesis speaks of TWO FAMILIES: one was that of Cain and Jubal and the other that who brought Noah who will give us comfort.

Plato: Apology of Socrates and Crito crito,17.2 speaking directly to the charismatic prophesying being practiced by the women in Corinth:
hoi korubantiôntes: here a species of madness seems to be indicated,
- under the influence of which men
- ......imagined that they heard the flutes
- ......that were used in Corybantian revels.
- ......and the song of the bacchanals in Eur. Bacch. 123-127,
- Corybantes, wearing helms three-rimmed,
- ......Stretched skins to make my drum's full round;
- ......Then they, in hollowed caves, lithe-limbed,
- ......With drums, and, with the flute's shrill sound
- ......Full Phrygian, bacchic ditties hymned.
This is Paul's meaning of "clanging brass and tinkling cymbals" which, in church, was equated to speaking in tongues.
Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
The Creator himself declared, “The morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy” at the dawn of creation (Job 38:7).
David, “Israel’s singer of songs” (2 Samuel 23:1), said, “He [the Lord] put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God” (Psalms 40:3). And Isaiah prophesied, “You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands” (Isaiah 55:12).
Organized music and choirs developed rapidly in David’s time, given his personal musical genius and his reverence toward the ark and the tabernacle/temple as God’s dwelling. David appointed Levites as “singers to sing joyful songs, accompanied by musical instruments: lyres, harps, and cymbals”
(1 Chronicles 15:16-22;
cf. 2 Chronicles 29:25,26; 35:15). “Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise the Lord with the musical instruments I have provided for that purpose”
(1 Chronicles 23:5; cf. 2 Chron. 5:12,13). In fact, the word "psalm" (psalmos, from psallō, originally “to pluck” or “to play”) itself implies use of musical instruments.
Interrupted by the Exile, Israel’s musical tradition resumed following her return from captivity, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and the completion of the second temple (cf. Nehemiah 7:1; 12:27).
The Exile was CAUSED by profaning God's day for the poor to REST.
Though there is little information in the Gospels and Acts, Jesus, the Apostles, and the believers of the Early Church would have been the beneficiaries of the musical ministries of the organized choirs and musicians of the temple.
While the New Testament says nothing about musical instruments per se in the early Christian house churches, music and song were a part of Spirit-filled worship (Acts 16:25;
God will be happy if you sing in prison. However, the ASSEMBLY is defined inclusively and exclusively as a place to READ and understand the WORD. The synagogue or Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wilderness was:
EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing.
INCLUSIVE of Rest, reading and rehearsing or repeating the Word as LEARNING.
Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
g5214. humneo, hoom-neh´-o; from 5215; to hymn, i.e. sing a religious ode; by implication, to celebrate (God) in song: — sing a hymn (praise unto).
g5215. humnos, hoom´-nos; apparently from a simpler (obsolete) form of hudeo (to celebrate; probably akin to 103; compare H5667); a “hymn” or religious ode (one of the Psalms): — hymn.
When we praise God we do not sing our own songs: we acknowledge what God has done in history.
laudo , I. to praise, laud, commend, extol, eulogize, approve (cf.: celebro, praed co).
Verg. G. 2.412
Twice doth the thickening shade beset the vine,
Twice weeds with stifling briers o'ergrow the crop;
And each a toilsome labour.
Do thou praise Broad acres, farm but few.
Rough twigs beside
Of butcher's broom among the woods are cut,
And reeds upon the river-banks, and still
The undressed willow claims thy fostering care.
So now the vines are fettered, now the trees
Let go the sickle, and the last dresser now
Sings of his finished rows; but still the ground
Must vexed be, the dust be stirred, and heaven
Still set thee trembling for the ripened grapes.
1 Corinthians 14:14,15,26;
Ephesians 5:19;
Colossians 3:16).
Apparently there was a variety of styles and content in the congregational singing, though there is no evidence of church choirs or special numbers. The convictions of certain denominations against musical instruments notwithstanding, the New Testament does not prohibit any kind of musical instrument.

In fact, Revelation depicts repeated scenes of heavenly worship featuring musical instruments and songs, as well as verbal celebration of the glory and power of God. The worshipping throng of Revelation 5, some with harp in hand, climaxed their songs to God and the Lamb with “praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13). The 144,000 sang to the Lamb “a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders” (Revelation 14:3). Those who overcame the beast “held harps given them by God and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: ‘Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty’ ”
General Council of the Assemblies of God 5 Worship in the Bible
(Revelation 15:3). The vision of the Lord descending in power and glory is also prefaced by shouts of worship and praise (Revelation 19:1-8). The final word of the angel in that setting is, “Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10).
While particular aptitude in the music arts is not specifically mentioned among the spiritual gift lists of the New Testament (cf. Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:8- 10,28; Ephesians 4:11; 1 Peter 4:10,11), remember that these lists are probably ad hoc and noncomprehensive. Just as God by His Spirit specifically gifted Bezalel and Oholiab for the artistry of the tabernacle and its furnishings (Exodus 35:30-35)—another gifting not mentioned in the New Testament—it seems evident that He gifted David (2 Samuel 23:1; Psalms 40:3) for music and psalms and continues similarly to gift yielded believers.
