Keith Brenton Rex, I don’t believe that there is a single passage in all of scripture which was written to directly address the issue of instrumental worship. I have to conclude that it simply wasn’t an issue, and was never meant to be. (Except, of course, by Satan — for whom any opportunity to divide the body of Christ is acceptable.)
Jesus established the Way that is called a SECT: That is a very narrow road and only a Little Flock of lost spirits will find it. The World, Kosmos or the Ecumenical as the reign of the Devil will make the gate strait by doing all in their power to divert. Paul says that APT elders as the only Pastor Teachers commanded to teach that which has been taught will eject the cunning craftsmen or Sophists. Sophists are performance preachers for HIRE, singers or instrument players. The reason they are to be excluded is that THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
The Spirit OF Christ used the Lucifer (Zoe, Venus) persona as the singing and harp-playing prostitute in the garden of Eden. She is the same Babylon mother of harlots in Revelation 17. In Revelation 18 she uses "lusted after fruits" the same ones in Amos 8 who used music tocause the little ones to be offended and starve for lack of the Word. The Serpent in the Garden of Eden was a musical enchanter(ess) and used winding songs like a spreading fire to slowly creep up and bite you. The Beast in Revelation is "a new style of music or Satyric" drama: in both cases the musical absolute in Scripture and other history is that it is the MARK of the effeminate or worse.
"In pagan traditions, musical instruments are invented by gods or demi-gods, such as titans. In the Bible, credit is assigned to antediluvian patriarchs, for example, the descendants of Cain in Genesis 4:21. There is no other biblical tradition about the invention of musical instruments." (Freedman, David Noel, Bible Review, Summer 1985, p. 51). (Proof Here).There is not a single command, example or remote inference from Genesis to Rebelation and up to the year 1878 when the Disciples-Christians bet their souls that gracew would permit them to sow massive discord and offend the masses on the gamble that PSALLO was a direct command according to O.E.Payne and his resources to impose "instrumental music as worship." Those who knew better were ostrasized as "sons of perdition" for imposing a law based the simple reading of the text. A Church of Christ (Ekklesia) assembles in small groups called a "synagogue." The command from the wilderness was:
Conrad L'Heureux demonstrated that the marzeah, or symposium (feast, gathering, banquet, assembly) of El that is found in the Rephaim Texts of Ugarit "must be a reflex in the divine world of the symposium celebrated by the members of the earthly marzeah of El...each guild apparently had a divine patron."42 The heavenly marzeah had participants called rp'm, which we also find in the earthly marzeah, e.g., "May Krt be greatly exalted among the rp'm of the earth...the rp'm constitute an aristocracy of which the Canaanite kings were a part."43 Moses, and the prophets following him were proclaimed as "Speakers for Yahweh," showing the people that "they are sent from the divine king, the suzerain of treaties, to reprove and to pronounce judgment upon Israel..."44
Note 42: Conrad L'Heureux, "The Ugaritic and Biblical Rephaim," Harvard Theological Review, 67(1974): 270-271.
Note 43. Conrad L'Heureux, Rephaim, 271. Cf. 272, footnote 25, the authority of El is ordinarily exercised through the younger generation of gods whom we could call the executive deities. It is also possible to understand the term rp'm as "the assembly of the gods." The entire premise of Jacobsen's article "Primitive Democracy," is that the groups and assemblies on earth reflected what the gods had done in heaven.
This was called "prophesying" by those who "made self a prophet." David made his warrior musicians into PROPHESIERS which means ot make war or make sorcery and never make spirituall Word. The Israelites had been abandoned ot Dionysus or Bacchus "worship of the starry host" because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. God heard that as a prayer and answered them. Therefore, when you lift prooftexts out of the Monarchy, king, temple and sacrificial system you are restoring the Abomination of Desolation which featured Zeus and Dionysus (new wineskin god) in the Temple. This ultimately, like the word PSALM and PSALMOS is Egyptian-Greek and not faithful Israelites:
Aristophanes' Lysistrata:
Call upon Bacchus, afire with his Maenades [mad women];
Call upon Zeus in the lightning arrayed;
Call on his queen, ever blessed, adorable;
Call on the holy, infallible Witnesses,
Call them to witness the peace and the harmony,
This which divine Aphrodite has made.Allala! Lalla! Lallala! Lallala!
Whoop for victory, Lallalalae!
Evoi! Evoi! Lallala, Lallala!
Evae! Evae! Lallalalae.The word lelein is fundamentally an onomatopoetic one, meaning, as Thayer's Lexicon puts it, to go 'la-la'. The Greeks shouted 'alala' both in worship and in war, and personified Alala as a deity (Pindar, Fr. 208 [78]; Plutarch 2.3496). It was this same repetitive and meaningless syllabification in pagan prayers which Jesus described: 'for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking' (Matthew 6:7)
New patterns of Christian worship appear to have been more difficult for women to adopt than men, as they had not known the dignified rite of Apollo or Zeus. For the most part, their religious expression had been accompanied by extravagances of every sort. We may quote Iamblichus again:
We affirm, accordingly, not only that the shoutings and choric songs are sacred to the gods, each and all of them, as being peculiarly their own, but likewise that there is a kindred relationship between them in their proper order . . . and the peculiar usages of Sabazian worship make ready for the Bacchic enthusiasm, the purifying of souls, and deliverances from old incriminations, their respective inspirations are, accordingly, different in every important particular.
Thou seemest to think that those who are enrapt by the Mother of the gods are males, for thou callest them, accordingly, 'Metrizontes' yet that is not true, for the 'Metrizontesae' are chiefly women (op cit., pp. 121-123
Such women must learn that they were purified not through shouting but through the blood of Christ and through the washing of the water of the Word.
"Long before Israel's existence, we find in Akkadian tablets the word halhallatu for 'double clarinet,' and we have many ancient representations of this instruments... Extremely popular for SECULAR purposes, the clarinet was played at WEDDINGS, BANQUETS, and FUNERAL. At funerals it served as accompaniment to the customary WAILING women; this is the meaning of Matt. 9:23. The chief characteristics of the clarinet were: popularity, juxtaposition with hand drum and lyre, expression of extreme emotionalism, and symbolic meaning of FERTILITY and RESURRECTION." (Int. Std. Bible Dict., p. 472).
Tinkling is
Alalazo (g214) al-al-ad'-zo; from alale, (a shout, "halloo"); to vociferate, i.e. (by impl.) to wail; fig. to clang: - tinkle, wail
And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. Mk.5:38
That is why Jesus cast them out using a term "Like dung." Likewise, he consigned the pipers, singers and dancers to the marketplace along with the DIET CULTS in Romans 15.Psalmos twitching or twanging with the fingers. 2. the sound of the cithara or harp, ; psalmos d' alalazei A.Fr.57.7 (anap.); there were contests in to psallein
Kirke from which we get the word CHURCH was:
Initially a Hunter Goddess and Lady of the Beasts of Kolchis named Aeaea 'ululation,' she became the funerary Goddess of the island known by her name. Kalypso 'concealer,' Argeia 'bright,' and often Medea 'wise one' who was sometimes called her neice instead. Klymene's daughters were the keepers of golden horned cattle in the lands of the Dead, the Heliades or Merope 'eloquent' or 'bee eater,' Helia 'sun,' Phoebe 'bright,' Aetheria 'heavenly one,' Dioxippe 'divine mare,' Lampetia 'beaming one,' Koronis 'crow or raven,' Aegile 'bright,' Lamethusa 'light being,' Phatusa 'bright being,' and Elektryone 'beaming on
INCLUSIVE of Rest (from sabbath worship rituals as sun worship), Preach the Word (only) by Reading the Word fror Comfort and Doctine. This quarantined the godly disciples from the growing Civil-Military-Clergy complex which God abandoned to worship the starry host BECAUSE of instrumental-trinitarian worship under the image of the gollden callf.
This was EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing and any self-willed speakers. Even the simple minded knew to be silent and sedentary (male and female) when the ONLY reason for the local assembly was a SCHOOL or Academy.
Contrary to the "scholars" Ephesians outlawed unity in diversity. Jesus the Spirit gave APT elders as the pastor-teachers: their APTNESS was to eject the cunning craftsmen or Sophists: The meaning of the Word and Jesus identification of the Jewish clergy of Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. He referenced Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33 naming performance preachers for hire (a Hireling), singers and instrument players. Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise or sophists: speakers, singers, instrument players.
The Spirit breathing into Paul warned that these are the MARKS of those LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
My urge for charity would say that they are BLIND AND DEAF as promised by Paul and their delusional LYING WONDERS That is why ANY and all Religious Observations are MARKED as NOT connected to the Kingdom of God which does not come with such rituals invented to imploy the unemployable. ALL religious teknokrats or CRAFTSMEN along with the singers and players are called SORCERERS and they are MARKED to be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE FIRE. They are evil spirits OF OLD and are OF the world, kosmos or the ECUMENICAL. Anyone who speaks the WORD or LOGOS (regulative principle) will, like Jesus be hated and despised and will never get on the STAFF of ungodly bloggers.
By definition of their ORIGIN not able to be part of the LITTLE FLOCK or the SECT that is called the WAY-ROAD OR PATTERN, they will never repent and have no need now with most once-christian colleges having been "infiltrated and diverted" under the wing of an ancient "Babylon mother of harlots?
Judas the "familiar friend" was prophesied to try to triumph-over Jesus: the Judas bag (he was a thief) was always attached to a flute case and the Greeks left us an image on clay vessels so that you can see what God sees when you lie to Him and about Him. The Judas figure on the lelft also speaks of the WINESKINNERS: The oaxgoad was to keep him steady. Thes flute players as usually females were cast out by Jesus because their musical performance was a ministry to the DEAD: the Jews had a covenant with death and hell.
ALL pseudo doctors of the law by definition TAKE AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE.
With all due respect, there is no reason that one trained in theology as occupation will have time or opportunity to read the text in context, collect parallel passages, read the ancient text and see how each word would be understood by the common people. Nor will they have considered that each key word will identify the idea of a "god" worshipped by all pagans. For instance GRACE or MUSE as goddesses worshipped especially by the Greeks represent all of the musical arts and crafts. The singers-players in Revelation 18 are called SORCERERS who HAD once deceived the whole world. The Pharmakea as sorcerer is the same original Babylonian mother of harlots. She is Inanna, Ishtar or Asherah or Astarte worshipped by the Jews. Ezekiel defines the worship dominated by women in Ezekiel 8. They appear in the synagogues in Rome and are included by Paul in Romans 14 along with the Dionysus, Orpheus or pythagoreans who are silenced in Romans 14 because they-it prevents edification or education as the one-piece pattern for the assembly, gathering or coming together which is SYNAGOGUE. The synagogue was defined by Christ in the wilderness to exclude "vocal or instrumental rejoicing or rhetoric."
As speakers for hire, singers, instrument players or any craftsman defined as sorcerers in Revelation 18 they will be or are CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. The Spirit OF (a preposition) Christ inspired that Prophetic Warning: The Assyrians had taken the instrument players into the "holy places" and the Jews were burning infants to Moloch.
Blasphemy is saying that God commanded something He did not command. Any Bible reader understands that Instrumental-Trinitarian "play" at Mount Sinai was a sin beyond redemption. God abonded the Civil-Military-Clergy to worship the starry host including Apollon the LEADER and spirit guiding musical worship which intentional destroys the REST which is defined as A School of Christ in the prophets and apostles. Musical performance always makes you pay for being entertained by the historic persona of the EFFEMINATE AND GENDER CONFUSED. Religious Craftsmen or Sophists are defined as Parasites. Miriam and the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levites were defined as as soothsayer-sorcerers and their role was called exorcism in animal slaughter which God did not command.
Jesus says that God HIDES from the wise or SOPHISTS: they are speakers for hire, singers or instrument players in any assumed holy place. Jesus does not pray for the World, Kosmos or the ECUMENICAL which is the kingdom of Satan. A Church of Christ is a School of Christ: it is the SECT that is called the WAY which is narrow and fools cannot even stumble into.
This sudden attack against those who feed you fits the prophecy of c. 2000 because Moses wrote of heaven and earth being made dumb and blind at the B.C. 4000 time when the Sumerians began capturing farmers and binding them to the Temple State identical to Jerusalem which is called Egypt and Sodom.

ISAAC CARO says all the astrologers represented Saturn as the star of Israel. Probably there was a figure of a star on the head of the image of the idol, to represent the planet Saturn; hence "images" correspond to "star" in the parallel clause. A star in hieroglyphics represents God (Nu 24:17). "Images" are either a Hebraism for "image," or refer to the many images made to represent Chiun.

Keith Brenton: I’ll bet you’re thinking, “Well, this ought to be a short post!” You may well be right.
In fact, there are many condemnations by Jesus but the PATTERN of education deprives good men of the facts and then fleeces them claiming that they offer the SIMON gift. A Church of Christ is built upon or educated by the Prophets and Apostles as the only meaning of Holy Scripture. The REST day which was never a worship day is defined both inclusively and exclusively in the prophets. Anyone reading the prophets will grasp that Christ condemns the Civil-Military-Clergy complex and even warns about the Lying Pen of the Scribes: Jesus calls them hypocrites.
It is charitable to want to believe that people willing to sow discord so they can perform as HYPOCRITES are just blindingly ignorant of the Word of God so that they are Anti-Christ by being ANTI-LOGOS. The Greek logos was hermes, mercury or Kairos: he was in fact a pagan mediatory because he conducted defunct spirits into hell. Contrary to the lie about "unity in diversity" Jesus as Spirit gifted APT elders: before they could conduct SCHOOL OF THE WORD on the Rest day they must first eject the cunning craftsmen or SOPHISTS. Sophists were all religious operatives. The Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levites prophesied with instruments meaning they sorcerers. The would execute Keith Brenton if he even stumbled into any holy house presumed to be the HOME OF A GOD.
Of the speakers for hire, singers or instrument players Paul said that they are LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
It is not possible to be able to read the text and not know that religious music was always called "sacred violence" and they musically mocked Jesus to the cross. God did not command anything involved in the Scibal records of the God Abandoned Monarchy. The levites wsere an old infant buring cullt in Egypt and God ordained that they stand guard and execute any GODLY person who even came near

1 Chr 25:1 David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals. Here is the list of the men who performed this service:
Payne insists that the Hebrew of 1 Chronicles 25:1 unambiguously identifies these leaders as military commanders, an interpretation favoured by several Bible translations. (Payne, p 423-4; NASB, NIV, NKJV, NRSV, Jerusalem Bible) If military commanders had a particular interest in the appointment of musicians, it suggests a strong link between music and warfare.

The ANTI-pagan Logos is the OPPOSITE of preachers comments, experiences, rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or any body movement which was a MARK of female priests or males performing the roles of women.
Keith Brenton: Bear with me, though. Let’s take a walk together back to 2 Chronicles 30. Yes, yes; I know. That was before Jesus was born. But not before He was pre-existent with the Father, right? First chapter of John?
Nope! That's ANTICHRIST
God is WORD or Logos, Truth, judgment: The WORD of God is the SON of God in all historic documents: that is because God always has His Word or Wisdom and when he "begins to speak" (if you want to be reckless) He breathes (the meaning of Spirit) and the articulated audible word is the Regulative Principle.
The father thinks and BREATHES (spirit) without METRON or meter so that Jesus SPEAKS or articulates the Word. John said that the Paraklete is Jesus Christ the Righteousness and if you don't believe the CLEAR STATEMENTS that:
There is only ONLY one God (Theos) and One Son Jesus Christ. After Jesus was born the ONE GOD made Jesus to be both Lord (kurios) and Christ (messian) neither of which is a GOD word.
John said that if you don't BELIEVE that one God-one Human you are an ANTICHRIST.
There is only ONE GOD THE FATHER and ONE MEDIATOR between man and God: the MAN Christ Jesus. That is why the PATTERN FROM THE WILDERNESS ONWARD was for both male and female to sit down and shut up. That is because a Purpose Driven Church is "so that ALL might be SAFE and come to a knowledlge of the truth. The Truth or Holy Scriptures does not include the record of the NOT commanded Scribes keeping the records of a NOT COMMANDED king, kingdom, temple, animal slaughter, priests or Levites performing EXORCISM: they were defined as sorcerers and all religious craftsmen who are ANTI logos
You should begin with the singing, playing instruments and playing with one another at Mount Sinai. If you had read Christ in the prophets and Pausl in Romans 1 you will understand that INSTRUMENTS are always connected with the effeminate and BURNING.
Keith Brenton: Okay. This chapter describes a time of great joy; the rediscovery of the Passover meal after a long period of Israel’s have forgotten to all about it and what it meant. King Hezekiah sent invitations to far-flung and nearly-estranged tribes to join in this celebration of God’s deliverance. Let’s take up the story in verse 18:
The ONCE A YEAR Passover was NOT a religious worship service: it was normaly a household service. Before they coculd attend a public service they had to be CERTIFIED or die. The godly people attended the Church of Clhrist (the Rock) where "vocal or instrumental rejoicing" was exChrist.
Clement: Do ye hear how it is most plainly declared, that God did not from the first require these at your hands? Had He required them, He would have obliged those famous saints who were before the Law to observe this practice. `Then wherefore has He permitted it now? In condescension to your infirmity. As a physician in his treatment of a delirious patient, etc.: thus did God likewise. For seeing them so frantic in their lust for sacrifices, that they were ready, unless they got them, to desert to idols: nay not only ready, but that they had already deserted, thereupon He permitted sacrifices. And that this is the reason, is clear from the order of events.
After the feast which they made to the demons, then it was that He permitted sacrifices: all but saying: `Ye are mad, and will needs sacrifice: well then, at any rate sacrifice to Me. 0'"-(What follows may serve to illustrate the brief remark a little further on, Kai h aixmalwsia kathgoria thj kakiaj.) "But even this, He did not permit to continue to the end, but by a most wise method, withdrew them from it ... For He did not permit it to be done in any place of the whole world, but in Jerusalem only. Anon, when for a short time they had sacrificed, he destroyed the city. Had He openly said, Desist, they, such was their insane passion for sacrificing, would not readily have complied. But now perforce, the place being taken away, He secretly withdrew them from their frenzy." So here: "Even the captivity impeaches the wickedness (which was the cause of the permission of sacrifice."
The Nation of Israel was already the Instrumental Sect according to Amos and Stephen in Acts 7 where the musical idolatry is defined as a sin beyond redemption. Judah became much worse. Hezekiah wanted some warm bodies because he knew that the enemy was going to attack and he wanted to protect his hide after being warned that his sons would go into captive. OK says Hezekiah as long as I am safe so I can got the temple and play the harp.
Keith Brenton: Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary.” And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
A Church of Christ member is not permitted inside the gates of the slaughter pit. A Church of Christ assembles as SYNAGOGUE or School (only) of the Word (only). This assembly is built upon or EDUCATED by the prophets and apostles both the product of the Spirit OF Christ and the inspired Apostles.
Keith does not do Isaiah 1 or Jeremiah where Christ says that God did NOT command sacrifices or burnt offerings when He saved them by Grace from Egypt. It was BECAUSE of instrumental-trinitarian idolatry that God gave them the Law to regulate the Lawless. The Lying Scribes according to Christ kept the records of the now-abandoned Civil-Military-Clergy complex. The instruments and sacrifices were the result of already being abandoned back to Babylonianism.
Keith Brenton is confessing that Instrumental Noise in the School of Christ is a sin. HOWEVER, he thinks that GRACE will cover my deliberate sowing of discord.
The TRUTH about Hezekiah's Plague Stoping Exorcism
Keith Brenton: You read that right. God let people get by with doing something that was not in accord with “the rules of the sanctuary.” (Does that kinda remind you of what Jesus said about David and the consecrated bread?) Not only that, He healed them.
The exception proves the rule: David was starving. Otherwise the command of God was that he should be executed. SOME PATTERN? God gave the kings in his anger as part of being abandoned to worship the starry hosts. Missed Acts 7 I see.
- They sinned against the Laws of the Sanctuary.
- It was a SIN with a penalty.
- They were prayed for
- And God forgave them
- This is a PATTERN for unintentional sin.
- If you sin with a high hand there will be no forgiveness.
Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees: in Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33 they are "speakers for hire, singers or instrument players.
Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death,
and with hell are we at agreement;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through,
it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge,
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:
he that believeth shall not make haste.
Isaiah 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet:
and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies,
and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,
and your agreement with hell shall not stand;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through,
then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Amend your ways and your doings,
and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Jeremiah 7:3 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord,
The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
Jeremiah 7:4 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings;
if ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
Jeremiah 7:5 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
and shed not innocent blood in this place,
neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Jeremiah 7:6 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. Jeremiah 7:7
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Jeremiah 7:8
Jer. 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times;
and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming;
but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
Jer. 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is
WITH US? LO, CERTAINLY IN VAIN MADE HE IT; THE PEN OF THE SCRIBES IS in vain.
Jer. 8:9 The wise MEN ARE ASHAMED, THEY ARE DISMAYED AND TAKEN:
LO, THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Keith Brenton:Let’s keep going to the next verse, verse 21:
The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great rejoicing, while the Levites and priests sang to the LORD every day, accompanied by the LORD’s instruments of praise.
Albert Barnes:Albert Barnes: All Israel—Hezekiah aimed at reuniting once more the whole people of Israel, if not into a single state, yet, at any rate, into a single religious communion. The northern kingdom was in a condition approaching to anarchy. The end was evidently approaching. Hoshea, the king contemporary with Hezekiah 2 Kings 18:1 , ruled, not as an independent monarch, but as an Assyrian feudatory 2 Kings 17:3 . Under these circumstances Hezekiah designed to invite the revolted tribes to return, >if not to their old temporal, at least to their old spiritual, allegiance 2 Chr. 30:5-10 . In order, therefore, to prepare the way for this return, he included "all Israel" in the expiatory sacrifice, by which he prefaced his restoration of the old worship.
2Chr. 30:18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim,
and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves,
yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written.
But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
2Chr. 30:19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers,
though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
2Chr. 30:20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah,
and healed the people. [so they didn't get killed: not to save them]

2Chr. 30:20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah,
and healed the people. [so they didn't get killed: not to save them]THEREFORE THE SIN OFFERING OF THE GOATS WAS FOR THE ABSENT ISRAELITES.
2Chr. 29:23 And they brought forth the he goats
for the sin offering before the king and the congregation;
and they laid their hands upon them:2Chr. 29:24 And the priests killed them,
and they made RECONCILIATION with their blood upon the altar,
to make an atonement for all ISRAEL:
for the king commanded that the BURNT offering and the sin offering
should be made for all ISRAEL
There was no instrumental noise here
WHAT HAD GOD COMMANDED FOR THE LEVITES?PREPARATON OF THE PRIESTS FOR THE HOLOCAUST
Constituo 1. To station or post troops somewhere, to draw up, set in order: “legionem
Con-custōdītus closely watched, carefully guarded:
Numbers 18:1 And the LORD said unto Aaron,
Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee
shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary:
and thou and thy sons with thee
shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
This was a CIVIL and RELIGIOUS ceremony. STOOD guard with silence
When the Levites made NOISE.
2Chr. 29:25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps,
according to the commandment of David,
and of Gad the king’s seer,
2Chr. 29:27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar.
and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
And when the burnt offering began, 2Chr. 29:26 And the
Levites stood with the instruments of David,the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets and the priests with the trumpets. and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
The Sacrificial System was effectively dead when Jesus came: the priesthood had been purchased at highest bidder. Even if they continued to slaughter animals it would be in the INNER COURT and Jesus would not be allowed to enter. In the Monarchy when the loud exorcism noise began with the holocaust, everyone but the Levites doing rare duty would be OUTSIDE the GATES.
