John 13 Judas did not Triumph Over Jesus
Judas, the Son of Perdition, carried the bag: the bag was always attached to a flute case proving that he woulld NOT triumph over Jesus with what Christ outlawed for the church in the wilderness: "vocal or instrumental rejoicing or any elevated form of rhetoric." Much of the Bible is written in forms of Parallelism:
THESIS: God identifies the pagan forms of worship
ANTITHESIS: Jesus provided the Spiritual form which is A School (only) of the Word (only)
By refusing to hear the Word as "spirit and life" people will naturally ADOPT the "thesis" because it is devoted to the lust of the eyes and ears. For instance:
The problem is that they make up their dogma and do not care enough to understand that Jesus REPUDIATED all of the Jewish practices which they brought back from Babylon and imposed by force. They missed the point that God sentenced them to return to Babylon BECAUSE of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.
- People such as Al Maxey and Jay Guin claim that God did not command the bread Passover.
- The Jews and Jesus observed the Passover without authority.
- Therefore, they actively promote the idea that they can impose the Babylonish or sacrificial music.
- And Grace will prevent God from hurting them.
- This is so patterned that they have the authority to impose instruments knowing that it will sow discord.
WHAT IS DIRECTLY COMMANDED FOR THE CHURCH
Catholic Encyclopedia.
Every seven years, that is in the year of release, during the feast of Tabernacles,
the Law was to be read before all the people according to the command found in Deut., xxxi, 10.
But this enactment was probably soon found to be impracticable;and thus the Jewish authorities arranged to read on every sabbath, commencing with the sabbath after the feast of Tabernacles in one year of release and ending with the feast of Tabernacles in the next year of release, a portion of the Law so calculated that the whole Pentateuch would be read through in seven years.
This would in some way the commandment be fulfilled. Some time later, the Jews of Palestine lengthened the sections for each sabbath in such a manner that he entire Law could be read in three years (Talm. Babyl. Megillah, 29b).
The great historian J. Robert Teringo wrote: "The fixed order of service began, after the customary greeting, with a prayer while the people remained standing facing the sacred Torah scroll. The reading of the law of Moses was next. The Torah scroll was taken from the chest and placed before a reader who read in the ancient Hebrew tongue and immediately translated it into Aramaic the language of those days. A commentary was always added to this reading. Next, a portion was read from the books of the prophets and, again, immediately translated verse by verse. After a closing prayer, the service was concluded..."

Simon is called Kananaios, or Kananites (Matthew 10:4; Mark 3:18), and in the list of apostles in Luke 6:15, repeated in Acts 1:13, Zelotes, the "Zealot". Both titles derive from the Hebrew word qana,

2. Kosmos (g2889) means the "orderly arrangement" or the "adorning" world. this is derived from (g2864 or Komizo which means "to carry off."

The Passover was roast lamb which was killed: the Jewish Passover (Easter) was the Babylonian Passover which consisted of bread and intoxicating wine. You remember that Esther turned the table. Note the Parallelism:
Tthe institution of the Lord's Supper repudiates the false PASSOVER developed in Babylon as Esther tried to mitigate the evils. The result of the FOUR CUPS is thatGod turned the TRAITOR Haman over to be HANGED in place of Mordecai.
They were called FESTIVALS OF WINE and not the Jewish Passover.
Jesus used the FIFTH CUP to fulfill expectations to prove that John had become the forerunner and that He would institute the "New Testament in His blood" and not the blood of animals.
Jesus turned the TRAITOR Judas over to Satan and to be hanged.
As to the Babylonian- induced Passover the wine was not spiritual: they added four cups of intoxicants to GET DRUNK.
IF Jesus approved this the He commanded us to GET DRUNK.
"a man is bound to get so drunk with wine at Purim as not to know the difference between, 'Cursed is Naaman and Blessed is Mordecai.'" (Talmud, Megillah 2:7)
When the Jews attended the king's party, they thought it was all just a "good time". Or was it a slap in the face of Jewish culture and tradition?
"To add insult to injury, Achashverosh invited the Jews to the feast as well. He told them: "Torah is proven false, so give up your hope and join us." Unfortunately, many Jews succumbed to this challenge of faith and attended the party
6 The third day of Esther's fast was the 15th of Nissan -- the night of the Passover Seder (Rashi 5:1). Because of the dire situation,
the regular Seder could be forfeited.
Still, Esther kept as much as she could and served matzah at the banquets.
Additionally, the banquets are called "mishteh ha-yayin" -- a wine feast (5:6, 7:2, 7:7) -- alluding to the four cups of wine drunk at the sederThe Bible Calls them BANQUETS OF WINE. The king drank the wine, flew into a rage, and went looking for HAMAN. Haman just fell on the queen's bed. So the king had Haman hanged on the gallows made for Mordecai. Al, don't you get the JUDAS connection?
The Feast of unleavened bread followed closely after Passover and it was in this event that Jesus marked the end of Babylonianism in many forms. One of the Biblical and other literature was the conflict between the daughters of the mother (Sophia-Zoe) by the Father of a Son. Judas the Assassin was prophesied about in Psalm 41 that he would try to alarm or triumph over the Messiah. The alarm was OUTLAWED for the qahal, synagogue or church of Christ in the wilderness.
Christ INCLUDED rest, reading and rehearsing the Word of God only.
Christ EXCLUDED vocal or instrumental rejoicing left to identify those intending to silence the mouth of God.
[Judas Iscariot: His first name is from the tribe of Judah who had a child of his dead son's wife paid for with the symbol of his throne. In The Testament of Judah he prophesied that his descendant daughters would become serving girls and musicians. Only a branch would be left Who would be Messiah.
When Israel's elders (always the elders) demanded a king God warned that the kings would carry out the captivity and death sentence. That would include making THEIR SONS singing boys. Wow: Amazing.
The Judas bag means SPEAKING IN TONGUES and OF THE WORLD: Lucifer was an agent of the Kosmokrator as all of the Classical literature assigns them to worship the MOTHER GODDESSES and musical madness. The word is:
Glôsso-komeion , to, ( [komeô] ) case to keep the reeds or tongues of musical instruments, Lysipp.5: generally, casket,: more freq. in form glôsso-komon , to, case, casket; compartment in a water-organ,
The religious musicians in the THEATER were usually males masking as females and were polluted and polluting. In this photo you see a type of the double flute to the right. The spoted thingy is a FLUTE CASE and attached to it is the GLOSSOKOMEION. That is not strange because the JUDAS figure would try to TRIUMPH OVER Jesus and all righteous people. The word--outlawed for the church in the wilderness--means to play wind instruments and "make a joyful noise before the Lord." That dazes my mind.
The drunken, puking, dance was always performed by perverted males and the words Jesus used points to them when he said that the clergy PIPED hoping that he and others would SING and DANCE the Dionysus "bowing to Baal" initiation.
John 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he was come from God, and went to God;John 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
John 13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason,
and began to wash the disciples’ feet,
and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.John 13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
John 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
John 13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
John 13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet,
but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
John 13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

PSALM 41 PROPHESIED HOW JUDAS (the son of perdition) WOULD TAKE JESUS CAPTIVE
THE PURPOSE OF THE SYNAGOGUE OR CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE DOGS (CATAMITES) OUTSIDEAn evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. Psalm 41: 8
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. Psalm 41: 9Evil disease a thing of belial {belial=satan}
But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Psalm 41: 10 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. Psalm 41: 11
Speaking of the direct commands against instruments in the qahal, synagogue or Church in the wildernes
- Psalm 41 prophesied that Judas would attempt to "triumph over" Jesus and the JUDAS BAG was for "carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments."
- "Here are directions concerning the public notices to be given the people by sound of trumpet. Their laws in every case were to be Divine, therefore, even in this matter Moses is directed. These trumpets typify the preached gospel. It sounds an alarm to sinners, calls them to repent, proclaims liberty to the captives and slaves of Satan, and collects the worshippers of God. It directs and encourages their heavenly journey; stirs them up to combat against the world and sin, encouraging them with the assurance of victory. It leads their attention to the sacrifice of Christ, and shows the Lord's presence for their protection.
- It is also necessary that the gospel trumpet give a distinct sound, according to the persons addressed, or the end proposed; whether to convince, humble, console, exhort, reprove, or teach. The sounding of the trumpet of the gospel is God's ordinance, and demands the attention of all to whom it is sent.
- True religion begins with the knowledge of the holy law of God, and humiliation for sin, but we must go on towards perfection, in acquaintance with Christ and his gospel, and those effectual encouragements, motives, and assistances to holiness, which it proposes. They took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord, De 1:6–8, and as the cloud led them. Those who give themselves to the direction of God's word and Spirit, steer a steady course, even when they seem bewildered. While they are sure they cannot lose their God and Guide, they need not fear losing their way. Matthew Henry

THE METHOD OF DECEIVING OR SORCERY CAN'T STOP SAYING HOW MUCH THEY LOVE JESUS.
We cannot say that Jesus had all of the views of the Judas--Son of Perdition--pattern in mind, but we can say that all of those who attempt to impose the Judas Instruments also carry the Judas bag. By leading down all of the connected trails it is clear that no one can find anything godly or spiritual about those who use music meaning "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter." Music means to silence the voice of the victim: it was know as sacred violence.

[27] David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song [with] the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen. [28] Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps.

These vessels are arranged with a view to musical concords or harmony, and apportioned in the compass of the fourth, the fifth, and the octave, and so on up to the double octave, in such a way that when the voice of an actor falls in unison with any of them its power is increased, and it reaches the ears of the audience with greater clearness and sweetness. Water organs, too, and the other instruments which resemble them cannot be made by one who is without the principles of music.SECOND M. Tullius Cicero, For Sextus Roscius of Ameria
Cicero Pro Roscio Amerino 93CONTRARY TO THE JUDAS SOUL ASSASSINS
92 I see therefore that there were many causes which urged that man to this crime. Let us now see whether he had any opportunity of committing it. Where was Sextus Roscius slain?—at Rome. What of you, O Roscius? Where were you at that time?—at Rome. But what is that to the purpose? many other men were there too. 33
As if the point now were, who of so vast a crowd slew him, and as if this were not rather the question, whether it is more probable
that he who was slain at Rome was slain by that man who was constantly at Rome at that time,
or by him who for many years had never come to Rome at all?
93 Come, let us consider now the other circumstances which might make it easy for him.
There was at that time a multitude of assassins, as Erucius has stated, and men were being killed with impunity.
What!—what was that multitude? A multitude, I imagine,
either of those who were occupied in getting possession of men's property, [A Heretic]
or of those who were hired by them to murder some one.
If you think it was composed of those who coveted other men's property,
you are one of that number,—you who are enriched by our wealth;
It is real madness to label as sectarians those who do NOT use the PRIMARY WEAPON in history used to seduce people out of their property.
Pindar, Odes 4:[216] Aphrodite [ZOE] of Cyprus brought the maddening bird to men for the first time,
and she taught the son of Aeson skill in prayerful incantations,
so that he could rob Medea of reverence for her parents,
and a longing for Greece would lash her, her mind on fire, with the whip of Persuasion. [

Psallo can NEVER be used of any other form of STRING: you cannot twang a guitar string with a Plectrum: that violates the clear meaning.
If you look up twitch you will find psallo.5597. psocho, pso´-kho; prolongation from the same base as 5567;
And from 5597 there is no musical content but a destructive grinding to SOP.
to triturate [to grind into a fine powder]
i.e. (by analogy) to rub out (kernels from husks with the fingers or hand): — rub.
Psaiō , A. = psaō (q. v.), rub away, grind down, in aor. 1 Med., Thphr. ap.Porph.Abst.2.6:—aor. Pass., ibid.
Psaō [a_, but always contracted],
II. intr., crumble away, vanish, disappear, S.Tr.678 (s. v. l.). (psaō, psaiō, psauō, psairō, psēkhō, psōkhō, and perh. psiō, psōmos, seem to be different enlargements of ps-, which corresponds to ps- in Skt. psā ´ti, bhes- in Skt. babhasti 'crush, chew, devour', bhasman 'ashes'.)
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. Isaiah 50:6
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. Psalm 11:2
5567. psallo, psal´-lo; probably strengthened from yaw psao (to rub or touch the surface; handle,
compare 5597); When used in connection with playing an instruments the word still means just PLUCK with your fingers only. All Scripture and Greek literature adds WHAT is to be plucked. Paul would have used a compound work if he remotely meant to 'pluck a harp."

or, that he should give something to the poor.
Gregory-Nazianzen-Oration Speaking of Apollo's Oracle: he is Apollyon or Abaddon and the "prophets" or SORCERERS are his musical worship team in Revelation18.

No more does the Oak speak; no more does the Cauldron give oracles; no more is the Pythia filled with I know what, save lies and nonsense.
Again the Castalian Fount has been silenced and is silent, and becomes no longer an oracular stream, but an object of ridicule:
again a voiceless statue is Apollo: again is Daphne a shrub bewailed in fable: again is thy Bacchus a catamite, with a train of drunkards tied to his tail, as well as thy grand mystery, the Phallus; and a god abandoning himself to the beautiful Prosymnus:
again Semele is struck with lightning: again Vulcan is lame (though quick to catch an adulterer), and a god grimed with soot, although a famous artificer, and the Thersites of Olympus: again Mars is a prisoner for adultery, with all his terrors, and frights, and tumults, and gets wounded through his audacity:
again Venus [Lucifer, Zoe, Judas] is one, formerly a harlot, to her shame, and the procuress of shameful copulations:
again Minerva is a maid, and yet brings forth a dragon: again Hercules is mad, or rather has ceased to be mad: again out of lasciviousness and impurity, Jove, teacher, and sovereign of the gods, turns himself into all sorts of things; and though able to draw up all the gods together with all living things, is himself drawn down by none: again Jupiter's tomb is shown in Crete.
If I see thy god of gain, thy god of speech, thy president of games, I close my eyes and run past thy god out of shame for the exhibition:23 thou mayest, for ought I care, adore the tension of his--speech (shall I call it), and his money-bag. One thing alone of them all is respectable--namely, the honours paid amongst the Egyptians to the Nile by the catamite,24 also those to Isis, and the gods of Mendes and the Apis bulls, and the other things thou dost sculpture or paint, composite and monstrous creatures, thy ludicrous Pan, thy Priapus, thy Hermaphroditus; and the gods who castrate themselves, or tear themselves to pieces.
23. 1 Of his distinguishing emblem, the erect genital member.
24. 2 Some indecent ceremony not mentioned by other authors; unless, perhaps, Gregory has vaguely in his recollection what Herodotus tells of the boat procession with the women that exposed their persons and uttered scurrile jests as they sailed by the villages on the banks.
These subjects, however, I will leave to the stage, and to those |113 who decorate them with pomps and ceremonies, and I will conclude my discourse with an exhortation.
John 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
JESUS HAS AGAIN DEFEATED AN ATTACK UPON HIS MISSION: ALL OF THESE CHALLENGES HAVE BEEN DONE WITH LOUD INSTRUMENTS "TO MAKE THE LAMBS DUMB BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER."
John 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said,
Now is the Son of man glorified,
and God is glorified in him.John 13:32 If God be glorified in him,
God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews,
Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 13:36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou?
Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now;
but thou shalt follow me afterwards.John 13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
Jesus often spoke in parables and Jesus was probably telling Peter that he would fail and deny him before that last watch of the night.
However, Jesus did not use the compound word but said:
John 13:38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
THE MEANING OF THE EXPRESSION IN PAGANISM WHERE MUSIC WAS THE MARK OF HAVING REJECTED THE WORD OF GOD.
You do not have to follow the definitions of words and follow the threads in the Greek or Latin literature. However, before you can claim that God commanded the instrumental music in the Christian assembly, you have to overcome the universal testimony implicating idolatry and the invasion of the "children ruling over you" which means the emasculated praise singers
In the Bible and other literature such as The Book of Enoch, the use of musical instruments (machines) are the marks of having fallen from Grace by participating in musical idolatry. This makes more sense when you grasp that the Bible and ancient literature proves that religious music was called Soothsaying, Sorchery or witchcraft.
After the musical idolatry at Mount Sinai and the signs of the end when God gave them kings in His anger, the Levites who prophesied with instruments are called soothsayers.
The words of Jesus are never simple; they were filled with information which most people at the time would understand in a deeper sense. For those who imitate Judas and try to triumph over Jesus in the prophesied sense of "vocal or instrumental rejoicing or an elevated form of speech" the same language can condemn them. This is reasonable because the crowing of the cock is what Judas was prophesied to try on Jesus.
A cock INCLUDES (for those trying to silence Jesus) includes any emasculated religious musician

(Korubantes). The ministers or priests of Rhea (q.v.), or Cybelé, the great mother of the gods, who was worshipped in Phrygia. In their solemn festivals they displayed the most extravagant fury in their dances in armour, as well as in the accompanying music of flutes, cymbals, and drums. Hence korubantismos was the name given to an imaginary disease, in which persons felt as if some great noise were rattling in their ears. The Corybantes are often identified with the Idaean Dactyli, and are thus said to have been
The Book of Enoch and other contemperaneous literatre agrees with the Bible: that Satan uses music because he knows that he can penetrate past the rational-spiritual mind and attack the emotions. When the emotional (right-feminine) uses their own emotions to decide that God loves music and musicians there is a hard-wired effect upon the brain and it can almost never be removoed even when you quote Jesus saying that the three events of musical instruments induces more fear or terror than worship and people are ready to remove CHRIST from their public profession in song and sermon.

Musical performance was always to bind the "Cain tribe" to the Alpha Leader. Imposing instruments even when you have to lie about all of the "instrument" passages in the Bible is a way for the Alpha Goat (cappella) to say to those who opposed: WE have won and you have lost. That is not "progressive" but the identifying mark in the most pagan cave-man societies:
"When tribes grew too large for effective co-operation (and inbred), they often became subdivided into smaller kinship groups (clans, sibs, gentes) which continued to regard each other as close allies. Government was exercised by individual chieftains assisted by councils of elders" (p. 26).
"In this fashion evey common tribal interest--the recurrence of the seasons, the increase of the food supply, successful hunting--was likely to become embodiedin some regularly repeated ceremony, which usually included group dancing, singing, and feasting.
Besides enabling men to express, and thereby to allay, ANGER and ANXIETY, such ceremonies also promoted tribal UNITY and strengthened the loyalty of the individual to TRIBAL TRADITION,
for the emotional excitement they aroused had the effect of breaking down the barriers between individuals
and thus fusing all tribesmen into a collective whole. Meanwhile, whole systems of magical devices were gradually elaborated." (H. Bamford Parkes, of Gods and Men,p. 29)
This is why the word PRIEST usually meant MAGICIAN. PROPHESIER had the meaning of of the band of prophets from the High Places singing, dancing, playing instruments and singing the gibberish thereby induced.
The agents under the Babylon Mother of Harlots (Judas, Jubal, Lucifer, Zoe) are called sorcerers by John speaking of speakers, singers and instrument players:'Certain members of a tribe, marked out either by unusual skills or by some emotional abnormality, ususally became particularly adept at these operations, and gradually assumed specialized functions. RELEASED from the duty of hunting, and concentrating on the practice of MAGIC, the shaman, SORCERER, or medicine man was the world's first professional." (Parkes, p. 29).

[289e] For not only do these speech-writers themselves, when I am in their company, impress me as prodigiously clever, Cleinias, but their art itself seems so exalted as to be almost inspired. However, this is not surprising; for it is a part of the sorcerer's art,
[290a] and only slightly inferior to that. The sorcerer's art is the charming of snakes and tarantulas and scorpions and other beasts and diseases, while the other is just the charming and soothing of juries, assemblies, crowds, and so forth. Or does it strike you differently? I asked.
No, it appears to me, he replied, to be as you say.
Which way then, said I, shall we turn now? What kind of art shall we try?
For my part, he said, I have no suggestion.
Why, I think I have found it myself, I said.
What is it? said Cleinias.trugôidos , ho, ( [trux, ôidê] ) prop. must-singer or lees-singer, = kômôidos, Ar.V.650 (anap.), 1537; v. trugôidia.

"The development both of religion and of the arts can be traced back in a continuous line to the hunting era. The group ritual of the primeval tribesmen were the origin not only of all religious ceremonial, but also of the drama and of poetry and music, while magic gave birth to the visual arts." (Parkes, Henry Bamford, On Gods and Men, p. 30).
"Awed by the mysteries of his own spirit no less than by those of nature, primitive man was likely to attribute to divine influence
any abnormal emotional state, whether above or below the usual level. Medicine men customarily went into states of trance in which they were believed to be in communication with the gods,
and many tribes supposed lunatics and sexual deviants to be divinely possessed.
