The Babylon Whore
worship in John's Revelation is the CHURCH or CIRCE
patternism followed by most end-time churches. Revelation
18 defines the end of a reign of terror where carnal
people USE believers for their own fun and profit. The
word HERESY does not mean that YOU have a choice. Rather,
it means that someone else LIFTS YOU up using music
[without or without machines] to CARRY YOU AWAY and for
THEIR OWN USE. Music is not evil but it has always been
Satan's weapon to BLEED OFF worship due only to God in
Christ. That is why Tyre is called "the singing and harp
playing prostitute" and the literal Babylon's leaders went
into Sheol with his/her harps and harpists.
And this is where we are
fulfilling all of the end time prophecies where APOLLO who
is Abaddon or Apollyon has resurrected the LOCUSTS which
in John's data bank meant the MUSES. They MARK and hold in
tribulation those who fall for their "musical
performance." MOST musical terms seem to connect to the
locusts famed for lulling you to sleep at high noon. The
SHOOT OUT has begun and the end is defined:
The music
of harpists and musicians, flute players and
trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No
workman of any trade will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you
again. Rev 18:22
The techne are the KORESH in the Cain-Lamech family:
they are primarily theater builders and stage managers in
the Greek theater. The word also identifies rhetoricians,
sOPHISts (serpents), singers and musicians. In Greek
literature these were all known as SORCERERS and therefore
PARASITES. A guitarIST or a psalmODIA is the meaning of a
parasite.
ALL MUSICAL TERMS AND
NAMES OF INSTRUMENTS HAVE ROOTS IN SATAN'S WORK,
WARFARE, THE WEAPON OF PROSTITUTES AND OF SODOMITES.
"The marzeah had an extremely long
history extending at least from the 14th century B.C.
through the Roman period. In the 14th century B.C., it
was prominently associated with the ancient Canaanite
city of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), on the coast of
Syria... The marzeah was a pagan ritual that took the form
of a social and religious association... Some scholars
regard the funerary marzeah as a feast for--and with--deceased ancestors (or
Rephaim, a proper name in the Bible for the inhabitants
of Sheol)." (King, Biblical Archaeological Review, Aug,
1988, p. 35, 35)
"These five elements
are: (1) reclining or relaxing, (2) eating a meat meal,
(3) singing with harp or other musical accompaniment,
(4) drinking wine and (5) anointing oneself with oil."
(King, p. 37).
"With the
wine-drinking (which is the literal meaning of the
Hebrew for feasting), went music and dancing." (Heaton, E.
W., Everyday Life in Old Testament times, Scribners, p.
93)
"Worship was form more
than substance; consequently, conduct in the marketplace
was totally unaffected by worship in the holy place.
Amos spoke from the conviction that social justice is an integral part of the
Mosaic covenant, which regulates relations not only
between God and people, but also among people." (King,
p. 44).
"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)
"Slightly less
familiar are the Devil's musical exploits. He not only loves singing
but is master of the violin, of which instrument of evil
he is reputedly the inventor. By the same token he can
give mastery of the violin, bartering infernal skill
for the
pupil's soul.
These legends are
related to the larger belief in the supernatural origin of
musical skill and individual songs." (Botkin, B. A., A
Treasury of American Folklore, Crown Publishers, p. 718;
Cf. The Devil and the Fiddle, Herbert Halpert, Hoosier
Folklore Bulletin, Vol II (Dec., 1943).
Slaughtering tens of
thousands of innocent animals as TYPES of Lord, Jesus
Christ with loud NOISE to serve the slaughtering priests
is NOT a recommendation for your church. Even then, a
singer or musician who entered the Holy Places would
himself be slaughtered.
If you
feel smug that you have caused all of the "legalists"
to run from your presence so that the children can
play, this too is the prophecy. The locusts chase away
and do not harm those marked with the Word and A holy
spirit at baptism as the SEAL. Because it is a
scientific fact--known by Nimrod--that music hurts
before it feels good, if you are PLEASURING one
another be advised that the Locusts take you captive
and delude you until you can be transported.
If this sounds
STRANGE then find yourself a Phd to find any thing but
condemnation of USING people for your own purposes by
MUSIC as more effective in inducing charismatic ecstasy
than wine. It is also more addictive producing the
impulses of FIGHT, FLIGHT or SEXUALITY. That is why Paul
outlawed you from performing in non-sedentary "worship"
beause the authority is the Greek authentia which means both erotic
and murderous. There is no way to be USED as sister
singers without being used as sex objects to fill the
collection plates. Male performers were universally seen
as effeminate or worse.

Seeking to reunite or How to
SELL OUT your Church? Rick
Atchley, Rubel Shelly, Mike Cope and and Randy Harris
The word CHARISMATIC while worshiping
Chara-the Grace-only goddess, is most often attached
to perverted sexuality Charismatic
ecstasy is speaking as "prophets." The only background for
"threskia" form of ceremonial worship was founded by Orpheus one
of the "fathers" of music and what Paul identified as
MADNESS or speaking in tongues in 1 Cor 14. Chara or
GRACE was a goddess. Charismatic connected directly to attempting to bind
spirit and flesh together in the "harmony" principle of
Apollyon or Apollo: "moving together" involved only two
persons and was acted out in homosexuality: usually in
pederasty (sodomy) which was common in ALL priesthoods or
brotherhoods of religious performers
Commands Examples Inferences: Some hostile attack:
blaming people for obeying God Who is MUCH bigger than
FALSE PREACHERS are allowed to know. It is impossible to
have ever read the Bible without grasping that the
central fallacy of the Pharisee is that he wants to ADD
his own rules of worship SPECIFICIALLY to silence God
and eat up the houses and church houses of widows and
honest working people who understand Paul's teaching.
John Mark Hicks,
DLC,: Come to the Table. Ongoing
Judaizing. New
"glasses" has given Rubel Shelly and John Mark Hicks a
NEW VISION for doing church and doing the Lord's Supper.
While Paul defined the destructive FESTIVE MEAL trying
to BRING GOD TO THE TABLE at Mount Sinai, he NEVER made
it into a SACRIFICIAL MEAL where God EATS. The RISING UP
TO PLAY in musical idolatry should warn CORINTH that
eating and drinking while PRETENDING to remember the
DEATH of Christ, that their "meal" might be EATING with
demons.

These are personal
research notes and are not intended to be 'pop'
meet-your-needs sermonettes. We all love music and apple
pie. The one makes you fat spiritually, the other
physically. This researcher doesn't get into what you
are allowed to eat or do or not do for that interlude on
Sunday. However, we do have some recommendations:
How
To Restore Biblical Music
The
worst kind of musical abuse is "Whistling
Dixie" while pretending that the New
Testament (chapter two) can be even vaguely
understood without the Old Testament
(chapter one).
It is a fact that music as we
know it had no role to play in God's
system of worship except educational. While
many groups are still faithful to the
non-instrumental methods of the early church,
others -- often the most vocal and judgmental
-- are not shamed that they have no more
authority for singing sentimental poetry with
methods of harmony not older than the 17th to
19th century. The forms are country-western
(help me feel sorry for myself) and mild Rock
and Roll (Post-Modern Voodoo). We propose a
new "paradigm" to replace the "pattern"
perverted in the twentieth century and being
overwhelmed with commercial
musical worship teams performing as idols for the paying
audience:
- The
Bible (Ephesians - Colossians) speaks of
the pure Biblical text as the resource to
teach and admonish one another.
- This
leaves no room for self-invented
music (See Amos 5; 6; 8) or
instruments.
- Performance
teams are an obscene usurpation of the
congregation's Christ-given role.
- The
Psalms are a poetic form of Hebrew history
in five books. "Psalms" are made up of
Psalms (praise), Hymns (prayers) and
Spiritual (supernaturally revealed) songs.
Only about 1/3 were considered valuable
for singing.
- Read or
tell (not preach) the story covered by a
given Psalm or other revealed passage.
- Always
put it into a chronological - historical
context.
- Read
the Psalm in its versified form.
Re-translate if necessary.
- Don't
violate God's mandate and mask the
teaching value by the use of instruments.
- Sing
the Psalm which has a limited tonal range
and therefore is not "melodious" or
emotionally abrasive.
- As
these Psalms are repeated week by week the
entire Bible is instilled within the mind.
- The
result is the fulfilling of the only
command to "sing in the heart" as we teach
one another with the Biblical text.
We
recommend the following site to learn the
Psalms. We don't recommend the piano and
organ.

Other On Line Music - Great Aid For Song Leaders. We do
not defend the use of music as worship in any form not
intended to "deliver the words of Christ as they have
been delivered to you." We all love music but it is like
many good things; it can be used for good or ill. It
must never substitute for the Word of God or to AID
God's adequate plan. Many musical churches lament the
fall into celebrative worship which goes along with idol
worship of men and women -- "The idolatry of talent."

New Articles on
Music as Worship. People of all persuasions worry
about how to protect themselves from church bullies
using new-found psychological power and obscene
financial resources to force changes into church
"worship." This involves loud preaching, overpowering
singing, performance vocal and instrumental music and,
yes, even dance teams. One lady sees her team as a "platform upon which God
lands" --
That was what they preached at the Tower of Babel. The
end-time commercial/religious institutions perform to
add force to the worship for the audience who must be paying but
passive.
Others bait and switch by promising to reverse the
process and "lead
you into the presence of God." These are the ascending
- descending pagan rituals which work best in the
churches turned into temple-states to support the high priest.
Many wonder how to
be self-defensive without being labeled as shrill
attackers of "God's Annointed." These people
increasingly sell their bodies by claiming to be
apostles or prophets whom you resist at your own
peril. Therefore, what follows is a "Legal Defense Fund" of random information
to help you resist those who knowingly tokenize
Scripture to bully you into following "God's Little Change
Agents." Jesus loves those who keep His commandments
and you must not be fearful of wolves waving sheep
skins. All of these articles are "files" into which I
will post new information from time to time.

Chronologically ordered.
Note: These are
primarily a collection of Scripture and literary
quotations to show that music was the device Satan
always used to pull people away from honoring God's
Word. According to the roots of words and contemporary
writings, this began in the garden of Eden with Satan
(Lucifer, etc) representing Babylonian, Tyrian and
other self-ordained kings using music to bleed away
worship owed only to God. Didn't Jesus say that He
spoke in parables to hide the truth from those who do
not love the truth; and this began "from the
foundation of the world." God's true Jubilee was to take the
collected property away from the huge land-owners
(denominations) and restore them to the local tribes
(congregations). But then don't we, according to
prophecy, turn the Word upside down?
"Unlike the pagan deities, Yahweh was not in any
of the forces of nature but in a real apart. He is experienced in
the scarcely
perceptible timbre of a tiny breeze in the paradox of a voiced silence." (Armstrong, Karen, A History of God, p. 27)
