My God is an Awesome God? My God is not an AWESOME God but an awful, dreadful God because:
He who created them rebels must have meant to mock at them.
Of those who do not love truth, God has sent strong delusions that they believe their own lies in order to be destroyed.
You must be strongly deluded beyond redemption if you believe that God provided any hint that He is worshipped by rhetoric, singing, playing instruments, any performer or PAY TO PLAY.
You have to be Biblically and morally rejected if you do not know that Instruments in connection with worship of God is not mentioned from Genesis to Revelation. Even with a Phd, no one knows any more that what their professors taught them.
SAM SAYS: Our role as worship leaders is to MINISTER to the heart of God Himself
our worship is about HIM and Him alone.
We also serve to BLESS those who gather for worship in OUR services,
not so that they can walk away “satisfied” or “FILLED” by the music,
but SO that SPACE is created for THEM to encounter the living God.

- He that does this is greater than the Deity;
- But these are the instruments of audacity and means of living

Oh, Phales, [god of generation, worshipped in the form of a phallus] companion of the orgies of Bacchus, [In Rome referenced in Romans 14] night reveller, god of adultery, friend of young men, these past six years I have not been able to invoke thee.
CHORUS
Here is a man truly happy. See how everything succeeds to his wish. Peacefully seated in his market, he will earn his living; ....without being accosted on the public place by any importunate fellow, neither by Cratinus, shaven in the fashion of the debauchees, nor by this musician, who plagues us with his silly improvisations, Artemo, with his arm-pits stinking as foul as a goat, [CAPPELLA] like his father before him. You will not be the butt of the villainous Pauson's jeers, nor of Lysistratus, the disgrace of the Cholargian deme, who is the incarnation of all the vices, and endures cold and hunger more than thirty days in the month.
They rashly assume in this manner, that whatsoever things have been said and done by all men, (may be made to harmonize) with their own particular mental view, alleging that ALL things become spiritual. Whence likewise they assert, that those exhibiting themselves in theatres,not even these say or do anything without premeditation.
Therefore, he says, when, on the people assembling in the theatres, any one enters clad in a remarkable robe, carrying a harp and playing a tune (upon it, accompanying it) with a song of the great mysteries, he speaks as follows, not knowing what he says:
"Whether (thou art) the race of Saturn (Satans) or happy Jupiter, or mighty Rhea (ZOE, Eve), Hail, Attis, gloomy mutilation of Rhea. Assyrians style thee thrice-longed-for Adonis, and the whole of Egypt (calls thee) Osiris, celestial horn of the moon; [The bull, Apis, at Sinai] Greeks denominate (thee) Wisdom; Samothracians, venerable Adam; Haemonians, Corybas; and them Phrygians (name thee) at one time Papa, at another time Corpse, or God, or Fruitless, or Aipolos, or green Ear of Corn that has been reaped, or whom the very fertile Amygdalus produced-a man, a musician."
DAVID YOUNG SHOCK AND AWE WORSHIP
Praise and Worship Songs and Voodoo
David Young and the elders vision REPUDIATED Holy Scripture and all of the historic practices of Churches of Christ. The primary OVERSEERS including Women are to MOCK Jesus as the ONLY teacher of His tiny flock in exile. Repeating songs is universally understood as for Mind Control and PREVENTING God's Holy Word from being Heard.
worship leader: Entertaining Simon the Sorcerer
"The early seventies were the beginning of what we now call the “worship wars”. The new youth were clever. They simply put Jesus words to many existing secular songs and now their parents just couldn’t say no. Soon, bands were erupting everywhere, and church platforms morphed into performance stages. Proud moms, pops, aunts and uncles and grandparents would invite people to “come hear our kids band perform” to the new Jesus audience with money to buy concert tickets and stage passes.
The church perfects the insecure teenagers plot from the seventies to trick their parents into using the infinitely superior “New Music”. Now, an entire industry has painted JESUS on all their stationary. Every song is “anointed” with Jesus to prevent complaints from the bleachers.
Would be leaders plan to USE this music, not as a means of corporate worship, rather the propping up of a CCM Money Market that sees its own end. They use people just like the world does.
“I want to amaze the people”
Simon noticed that the Spirit was given only when the apostles placed their hands on the people. So, he brought money and said to Peter and John, “Let me have this power too! Then anyone I place my hands on will also be given the Holy Spirit.”
Peter said to him, “You and your money will both end up in hell if you think you can buy God’s gift! You don’t have any part in this, and God sees that your heart isn’t right. Get rid of these evil thoughts and ask God to forgive you. I can see that you are jealous and bound by your evil ways.”
Who are your discerning leaders of trust, wisdom and godliness that make these decisions? (Ephesians 4) In many churches these leaders are simply AWOL?
OUT WITH THE “WORSHIP LEADER”. Worship shall be led by no man. Worship has never asked for or required a leader. And what is a “Worship Pastor”? Titles such as these only serve to secularize and cloud truth. they demonstrate mans desire to control rather than live in humble submission. A pastor may pastor and shepherd. He may even lead people in and through moments of worship. But he cannot lead or pastor worship unless he is like Simon.Jesus is the ONLY Rabbi or Teacher and ONLY when we "teach that which has been taught." Peter spoke of a recorded MEMORY as a MARKER for anyone who would teach otherwise. Paul in Romans 10 and 1 Cor 10 warns of the PLAY which was musical idolatry of the TRINITY and those with EARS will be able to hear the message and LOOK where Paul points to repudiate the musical paganism at Corinth:

JESUS DIED TO REMOVE THE "LADED BURDEN" WHICH IS ANY BABBLING OVER AND OVER
Heb. 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Jer. 23:32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD,
and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies,
and by their lightness;
yet I sent them not, nor commanded them:
therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
Jer. 23:33And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying,
What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them,
What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
Cyclopaedia p 133
In music, the burden is an archaic term[1] for the drone or base in some musical instruments, and the pipe or part that plays it, such as a bagpipe or pedal point in an organ. Burden also refers to a part of a song that is repeated at the end of each stanza, i.e. the chorus or refrain. The term comes from the French bourdon, a staff; or a pipe made in the form of a staff, imitating the gross murmurs of bees or drones. This is what was anciently called proslambanomenos.
Refrains are found in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead and are common in primitive tribal chants. They appear in literature as varied as ancient Hebrew, Greek, and Latin verse, popular ballads, and Renaissance and Romantic lyrics. Three common refrains are the chorus, recited by more than one person; the burden, in which a whole stanza is repeated; and the repetend, in which the words are repeated erratically throughout the poem

From cover to cover, the Bible speaks in symbolic terms to refute false, superstition and define the spiritual. The dove was the symbol of the MOTHER OF THE GODS endorsing her DAUGHTERS. The dove at the baptism of Jesus is the FATHER endorsing the SON and a masculine discipline based on the WORD as opposed to a feminine and effeminate religion based on symbol, music and the "pleasure gardens of Eden."
Now, if you want to understand the Bible you need to understand the Egyptian-Babylonian-Canaanite religion which Moses wrote the Law to prepare them for when the LOST The Book of the Covenant as a result of music and perversion at Mount Sinai.
And if you want to understand the end-time Babylon Harlot worship you need to understand the meaning in the Bible AND in the ancient texts.
When God began to speak The Book of the Covenant at Mount Sinai, the people were TOO CARNAL to listen and demanded that Moses mediate. The TRUMPET sound was a warning and NOT music. Nevertheless the people went on to fall into Musical Idolaty and God SHUT their ears and eyes. Paul said that they COULD NOT read black text on white paper until the converted to Christ (mening baptized). God ABANDONED them to the musical worship of the starry host (Acts 7). However, God is sounding another TRUMPET heard round the wold by STOLEN churches to be turned into "theaters for holy entertainment." Paul knew this and warned:
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Heb 12:25
Jesus is the ONLY Rabbi or Teacher and ONLY when we "teach that which has been taught." Peter spoke of a recorded MEMORY as a MARKER for anyone who would teach otherwise.

G2126 eulabïs yoo-lab-ace' From G2095 and G2983 ; taking well (carefully), that is, circumspect (religiously, pious): devout.
I won't post the song but you can read it here:
I think that it says: "My God is an awesome God" 18 times. There may be childish "awesome" but there is no awe nor dread of a Spirit God when you sing:
- When He rolls up His sleeves
- He ain't just putting on the ritz
- There's thunder in His footsteps
- And lightning in His fists
This is the meaning of the scattering of words in the musical worship in Israel condemned by Amos. What is the logic between putting on the ritz and rolling up His "sleeves"? Nothing, just rimes.
Too deep for now, but music caused them to be kicked out:
- The Lord wasn't joking
- When He kicked 'em out of Eden
Pastor Mike wrote: "My God is NOT an awesome God - He is an aweful God. Get out a dictionary and use the words correctly. God is Full of Awe - not just some. Modern bible version mentality in Christianity prevails nowadays and like Rev 3 says, God wants to spue it out!"
The song leader is "awesome." The words are awesome. In the highschool chat room everything is "awesome." "This song is an awsome song. I just sang it with our youth choir and loved it" "I love this song it is so pretty i could listen to it all day long!"
The leader is awesome: the leader is stand in for God.
But then God kicked 'em out of Eden because the serpent or Nachash was a MUSICAL ENCHANTER. He is the same Ophis enchanter in the book of Revelation. One of his forms is the sOPHISt or charismatic preacher who composes his own songs and sermons. In the garden of Eden Paul claims that Eve was WHOLLY SEDUCED in the same way that a virgin bride is TAKEN by the "serf's" MASTER before the husband gets her. This is why CAIN (a musical note or MARK). That is why CAIN was "of that wicked one." His family brought us polygamy, murder and Jubal "handling" musical instruments meaning WITHOUT AUTHORITY. Therefore, God kicked 'em out for being SEDUCED by Lucifer the "harp playing and singing prostitute."
Praise Ishtar (Easter) the goddess, the most awesome of the goddesses
Praise the goddess, the most awesome of the goddesses.
Let one revere the mistress of the peoples, the greatest of the Igigi.
Praise Ishtar, the most awesome of the goddesses.
Let us revere the queen of women, the greatest of the Igigi.She is clothed in pleasure and love.
She is laden with vitality, charm, and voluptuousness.
Ishtar is clothed in pleasure and love.
She is laden with vitality, charm, and voluptuousness.
The Britannica notes of charisma: Or Click Here
Charisma: attribute of astonishing power and capacity ascribed to the person and personality of extraordinarily magnetic leaders. Such leaders may be political and secular as well as religious. They challenge the traditional order, for either good or ill.
The word derives from the Greek charis ("grace") and charizesthai ("to show favour"), connoting a talent or grace granted by the divine. The term came into scholarly usage primarily through the works of the German sociologist Max Weber (1864--1920), especially his On Law in Economy and Society (1921),
in which he postulated that charismatic authority was a form of authority distinct from those of tradition and law.
The process whereby charismatic authority becomes transformed, or changed, to any of the other forms of authority (such as bureaucracy) is referred to by Weber as the "routinization of charisma."
Typically, the charismatic leader can demand and receive complete devotion from his or her followers. The foundation of charismatic authority is emotional, not rational: it rests on trust and faith, both of which can be blind and uncritical. Unrestrained by custom, rules, or precedent, the charismatic leader can demand and receive unlimited power.
In the original sense of the word, only such phenomenal personages as Jesus or Napoleon would merit the description charismatic, but in current usage, the term is applied more broadly to popular political leaders and cult organizers alike: John F. Kennedy, Eva Perón, and cult leader Charles Manson--all have been labeled charismatic.
Many times we consider a leader as AWESOME because he gives us freedom to practice "the holiness of sin."
There is no spiritual use of the word "music" in the Bible. Rather, music has always been proof of idolatry:
"The word music itself is of Greek origin and was in myth-like fashion originally considered an art which was directly inspired by and descended from a Muse [Muses were nine Greek goddesses who presided over the arts and sciences]....
"Pre-Homeric [9th century B.C.] legend has it that Orpheus the sweet singer and bard servant of Apollo (Apollyon, Abaddon), was himself the son of a Muse.
The music quality of his voice could heal the sick and engender religious devotion at the temple rites.
Minstrels were the earthly intermediaries who made the will of the gods known to man.Through music, man, in turn, could implore the gods for deliverance from sickness and pestilence. Homer told, and Plutarch centuries later retold, how the Grecians stopped the fury of a pestilence through the power and charm of music to appease the wrath of the gods
"With sacred hymns and songs that sweetly please". (The Philosopher and Music, Julius Portnoy; The Humanities Press: NY; 1954, pp.4,5)
"This close association of music with religion in all cultures is no doubt due to the deep effects music has upon us, touching our souls and spirits. This alone should make us cautious about what kind of effect the music we receive and use may have upon us spiritually. It's not that we are in danger of falling under the influence of ancient Greek gods and goddesses in any of our music, but we may be subjecting ourselves to modern and more subtle forms of idolatry.
The people who make the music--musicians, singers, and entertainers--obviously are idolized by their fans, and often the music itself is an idol. From Life Lines
By 1991 southern gospel music had been almost entirely displaced, first by "contemporary" gospel sounds and then hard rock. As I noted last month, rock music has made its way into many otherwise more or less conservative churches,
first for youth outreach and now into worship service choruses.
Quintilian (35 A.D.), a contemporary of Seneca's, bears him out on the Roman intellectual's concern over the music of his time. "...the music I desire to see taught is not our modern music, which has been emasculated by the lascivious melodies of our effeminate stage and has to no small extent destroyed such manly vigour as we still possessed.
The history of rock and roll is a history of infamy, a parade of perversion--illicit sex, drugs, rebellion against authority, and violence--in both the purveyors and consumers of it.
With all respect, it simply is not possible to be in a performing position without being considered awesome:
Tom Haddon: 12. (Uncomfortable about being insincere or humorous about the Lord's Supper.)
Look around I'm goin' to tell you I have to be transparent to you.
- There's a song that Keith sings.
- ..........And, and I want you to know where I'm comin' from,
- there's a song that Keith sings
- ..........that I absolutely love. ---
- I shoulda had a glass of water before I tried this.
I told somebody Wednesday night in Bixler she was sitting beside me and I looked over there and I said
"oh, I feel sorry for you" and she said "I'm glad I'm sitting by you" and I said "oh, I sing loud and I sing off key you know. I just feel sorry for you."
Here is what is so awesome to some and so awful to others:
But uh, the song he sings, you know, have you heard it? - "My Life is in You." I love that song. My life, and every time we sing it. (Tom claps, people clap) My life (clap) is (clap) in you (clap) Lord (clap), my strength (clap) is in (clap) you (clap) Lord.
DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER, DANGER!
Now, that is truly AWESOME. Especially during Lord's Supper. The bottom line is that singing from the feelings does not accomplish the teaching to make it part of Christian worship. And the theme of putting God in the position of a pal or even lover is what distinguishes the new form of "praise songs."
It is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to give heed to the talented singing or leading and GIVE HEED to Christ by giving heed to His Word.
What Tom is describing is not the Spirit of Christ but the Spirit of Voodoo.
Please be aware that worship IN SPIRIT is worship in the human mind or spirit as it GIVES HEED to the Words of Christ which are spirit and life (John 6:63; Eph 5; Col 3).
"Spirited" means enthusiastic and that word was coined by Philo. It meant Enthus O Mania. It meant a charismatic breakdown or the MADNESS Paul warned Corinth against.
Therefore, "spirited" has always been warned against because often "the wrong spirit steals through."
And we sang songs most of them didn't they involved spirited singing but that was about it. And then you know we added songs in there. Keith did.
A few people started clapping and others did. And it was a thing that just come about and
..........it came little by little but you know what,
.......... in the meantime this class grew.No, it didn't just come about: it was induced. This is the ecstatic frenzy the ancient pagans always believed was the "gods" inside. History also knows that music is as effective as drugs in bringing about this mental breakdown.
"The religious ecstasy induced by music expressed itself either in an outburst of emotions, thus giving rise to religious catharsis,
..........or in a transfer to the state of prophecy. In this way music became an important factor in divination. In the mysteries of the Magna Mater this relationship between music and divination is particularly clear.
..........Through the din of tambourines, cymbals and flutes.In short, it has been noted that only females and the effeminate fall into this state.
And you know how many people we kept on board because we kept weeks and weeks and 5 months of talking about it and we introduced things slowly. And we had a purpose.
And there was something behind what we were doin' and we taught about it. And I go back to teach and teach and teach and teach
and you know for those of us who constantly like new things and are pushing the edge, there are things I need to remember and this is where I want to close.
NOW TO THE BIBLICAL MEANING OF AWESOME
Now, David was not singing a giddy praise song to force others into some kind of spiritual feeling. When David sings it is most often "on my bed" and David is never seen as leading the "worship" with singing and playing instruments because the introduction was added later:
HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. Psalm 4:1
O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing (lying)? Selah. Psalm 4: 2
Jesus identified the Devil as a liar because: "He speaks on his own."
But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him. Psalm 4: 3
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Psalm 4: 4The meaning of "awe" is:
Ragaz (h7264) raw-gaz'; a prim. root; to quiver (with any violent emotion, espec. anger or fear): - be afraid, stand in awe, disquiet, fall out, fret, move, provoke, quake, rage, shake, tremble, trouble, be wroth.
Now, decide if that gives you the urge to throw your arms around and sing a love-making song to God.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. Psalm 119:161
Pachad (h6342) paw-kkad'; a prim. root; to be startled (by a sudden alarm); hence to fear in general: - be afraid, stand in awe, (be in) fear, make to shake.
Does that make you want to tokenize and misquote the Word of God to make your own songs to VIOLATE the direct command of Paul to Teach the Word of Christ or Spirit?
I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed:
"O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, Daniel 9:4NIV
we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. Daniel 9:5
We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. Daniel 9:6
You had better stand in reverence and DREAD if you are making up your own prophetic words because the words of the prophets were the words of the Spirit of Christ and Paul said that this is the only resource for teaching.
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1 Peter 1:11
Daniel was not "leading singing" but praying to God:
Palal (h6419) paw-lal'; a prim. root; to judge (officially or mentally); by extens. to intercede, pray: - intreat, judge (-ment), (make) pray (-er, -ing), make supplication.
The word is not awesome in the sense of childern's babble but dreadful:
Yare (h3372) yaw-ray'; a prim. root; to fear; mor. to revere; caus. to frighten: - affright, be (make) afraid, dread (- ful), (put in) fear (- ful, -fully, -ing), (be had in) reverence (-end), * see, terrible (act, - ness, thing).
Awesome like worship means to be reverent. It is not to sing a children's song as if making love to Him.
God is awesome. Get the point? No?
By Biblical and medical certainty when you are singing "awesome" songs and having a MOUNTAINTOP you cannot possibly come away with a better appreciation of God. As a medical certainty you are in charismatic ecstasy and your rational (spiritual) half of your person which is controled by spirit or mind is shut down! Shut down! Shut down! And you confuse what I feel with being spiritual because God is supposed in the Vineyard New Style Songs to be reaching the PEAK when you hit the PEAK.
All praise songs are boomer or self-directed. That means erotic. We talk TO God instead of ABOUT God. I feel awesome, she feels sad. I am going to have to radically reconstruct her life-long view of "worship" and the only way we can do it is just teach, teach, teach. But where can one find "body drumming" taught as a way to worship God other than in a sensual sense:
Tom Haddon: And what I ignored, or maybe not intentionally ignored but forgot was that my wonderful mountaintop was her tragic conclusion to something.
And without the teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching,
it's not their fault. It's not. And you know we need to go back and we need to say and look at her and grieve the fact you know.But, old lady, you gotta go so we can sing, clap and uh and ah over the worship leader. And the entire trauma of driving away of thousands is just so we can "sing (clap) sing (clap) sing (clap).
"It is one of the elements of the power known as mantrikasakti. Music was represented as one of four divisions of mathematics, the others being arithmetic, astronomy, and geometry.
The music of sound arouses in us a power which needs to be controlled,
..........as it can carry us to heights
..........from which we may fall.If regarded as a sensual indulgence, even though a refined one, its true import is not realized. (Britannica)
Sorry my peak of the week worshiping the awesome leader singing the awesome song and having a mountain top experience stabbed you in the heart. But, we gonna teach, teach, teach until my mountain top experience is more important to "worship" than your stab in the chest. Greek melody does speak of "MY" twanging my bowstring to send a "singing" arrow into your heart. Sorry about the blood old lady but I gonna teach, teach, teach that you are the problem.
Speaking of the mountains upon which the high places were located the Britannica notes that:
"In proceeding to and from a holy place, a worshipper generally proceeds according to certain symbolic patterns: rectilineal, circular, and vertical. Rectilineal movement to and from a holy place is intended to gradually prepare the worshipper for the spatial encounter with the holy and after the encounter to remove him from the sacred sphere. Special streets for processions often are marked off or built to a temple or holy place, such as in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China. The great procession from Athens to Eleusis for participants in the mysteries possessed a symbolic meaning. Worshippers not only enter a holy place but may also walk around it. Rectilineal and circular movement thus complement each other. Movement to and from a holy place may also be vertical as well as horizontal, as to and from a holy place on top of a mountain or pyramid. All these various types of movement give expression to the symbolism of the holy way or path.
The sacred dance combines rectilineal and circular movements and may also include hopping, jumping, and hand movements.
Stroking, thrusting, striking, pushing, waving, and hand clapping also can be symbolical gestures. By raising his hands in prayer, the worshipper approaches the realm of the heavenly gods; by kneeling, the realm of the underworld. This apparently was the original meaning of kneeling before it became an expression of humility.
Music, like the word, also may have symbolic meaning. The basic elements out of which musical symbolism is built are sounds, tones, melodies, harmonies, and the various musical instruments, among which is the human voice. Sound effects can have a numinous (spiritual) character and may be used to bring about contact with the realm of the holy. A specific tone may call one to an awareness of the holy, make the holy present, and produce an experience of the holy. This may be done by means of drums, gongs, bells, or other instruments. The ritual instruments can, through their shape or the materials from which they are made, have symbolic meaning. The Uitoto in Colombia, for example, believe that all the souls of their ancestors are contained in the ritual drums. Britanica Members
The NIV is written for casual reading: for the reader who wants the "story" without the facts. However, the NIV word "awesome" in the felt, climactic sense is not in the text. No. No. No. Teach all you wish but you are false, false, false.
REMEMBERING that God spoke to the PROPHETS through the Spirit OF CHRIST: the prophets univerally associated MUSIC as the MARK of the PRIESTLY CLASS who were stealing your tithes and starving you for LACK of the Water of the Word. They knew that the PRIESTLY-KINGLY leaders had ben abandoned to WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST (Acts 7):And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. Neh 9:25
But they were disobedient and rebelled against you;
..........they put your law behind their backs.
..........They killed your prophets,
..........who had admonished them in order to turn them back to you;
..........they committed awful (hostile) blasphemies. Neh 9:26It is pretty sure that the AWESOME leaders and self-composed clap-clap songs during the Lord's Supper is committing an AWEFUL act of blasphemy!
Killing the prophets or quenching the Spirit is refusing to listen to God who admonishes you that your climactic experience is hostility to a Holy God.
Here is that passage about the awesome God in the NIV:
and confessed my sins and those of my people. "O Lord," I prayed, "you are a great and awesome God;
you always fulfill your promises of mercy to those who love you and keep your laws. Daniel 9:4NIVHere it is in the King James Version:
And I prayed (mentally) unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God,
keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; Daniel 9:4KJVDid you remember that when the Babylonians worshiped their "idol" which was probably of the king on top of a pillar or phallic symbol, Daniel and friends refused to bow (worship) when the loud music was played?
If you don't care about the truth you will see the "music" as God's eternal sign or MARK that you are oppressing people and it is, in the Bible, always a sin without redemption: ignorance of the Word is no excuse.
Yare (h3372) yaw-ray'; a prim. root; to fear; mor. to revere; caus. to frighten: - affright, be (make) afraid, dread (- ful), (put in) fear (- ful, -fully, -ing), (be had in) reverence (-end), * see, terrible (act, - ness, thing).
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy (teach)? Am.3:8
See Romans 3 to understand the Hostile Takeover by the theatrical people in whom is no fear.
Songs are the most conservative part of everyone's lives: I can feel the log cabin at age 5 when I recovered the victrola and can listen to the Jubilee Quartet singing the same: "Little David Play on Yo harp." To deliberately change the musical routine is to deliberately "offend people" so you can sing erotic praise songs TO God instead of ABOUT God.
Rather than providing comfort to the older generation you are deliberately stimulating DISCOMFORT in order to make them over in your image.
And you say, "old broad, it is Corban. You don't understand what I am doing: I am dedicating it to God."
That makes us worse than infidels and it will never be forgiven.
Plato warned that you shouldn't worry about "the new songs that people sing" but you should worry that they are deliberately changing the laws and morality of people. Music has destroyed our nation's fabric: why should we believe that the ancient superstition about music can "regenerate the human soul through external means?"
Before God always takes control over revolutionaries, the last Horn of the Armageddon (Means: "Polemic battle with self-exalters."). Is it prophetic?
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Daniel 7:24
And he shall speak (poetically) great (as the embodiment of the adversary) words against the most High,
..........and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
..........and think to change times and laws:
..........and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (3 1/2 years) Daniel 7:25All failures in the Old Testament are created because the people hungered and thirsted for the word of God but could not find it? Why? In the case of the worship which God imposed when HE TURNED THEM OVER TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST was worship involving singing their own songs, clapping, dancing, playing instruments and engaging in perverted sexuality as their way to move into the presence of the gods who were, UNIVERSALLY, at times evil and almost always sexual perverts: real people personified as gods.
Paul commanded that we TEACH or PREACH with the inspired songs of God.
Therefore, singing this silly, sentimental song is wrong because it violates the direct command of God, shows ignorance of the Word of God and repeats the shameful "worship" of a Spirit God with their own bodies.
In describing why the priestly class rebuked Jesus and would crucify Him all over again, Dostoyevsky warned the "teams."
He is weak and vile. What though he is everywhere now rebelling against our power, and proud of his rebellion?
..........It is the pride of a child and a schoolboy. They are little children rioting and barring out the teacher at school.
..........But their childish delight will end; it will cost them dear. They will cast down temples and drench the earth with blood. But they will see at last, the foolish children, that,
..........though they are rebels, they are impotent rebels, unable to keep up their own rebellion.
..........Bathed in their foolish tears, they recognise at last that He who created them rebels must have meant to mock at them.The message is universal in the Bible: when you deliberately silence the Word of Christ, the Spirit or the Mind of Christ and replace it with musical performance,
> is that you have known the Word and its power,
> Your have turned away from the word and crucified Christ all over again with the "mocking" music.
> And you have fallen and you are not going to ever get up unless YOU are the exception.
The priests were Khana-Baals. The end-time restoration of the Babylonian religion explains why the clergy are CONSUMING THEIR OWN flock as God pours out His wrath. They try to destroy the SEED OF CHRIST and SOW THE SEED OF THE SERPENT.
The history of S.U.N. worship now being urged to replace S.O.N. is the MARK and all of those "agents" were marked as sexually confused.
"For who can rule men if not he who holds their conscience and their bread in his hands.
..........We have taken the sword of Caesar, and in taking it, of course, have rejected Thee and followed him.
..........Oh, ages are yet to come of the confusion of free thought, of their science and cannibalism.
..........For having begun to build their tower of Babel without us, they will end, of course, with cannibalism.
"And until men know that, they will be unhappy. Who is most to blame for their not knowing it, speak?
..........Who scattered the flock and sent it astray on unknown paths?
..........But the flock will come together again and will submit once more, and then it will be once for all. Then we shall give them the quiet humble happiness of weak creatures such as they are by nature.
..........Oh, we shall persuade them at last not to be proud, for Thou didst lift them up and thereby taught them to be proud.
..........We shall show them that they are weak, that they are only pitiful children,
..........but that childlike happiness is the sweetest of all.
..........They will become timid and will look to us and huddle close to us in fear, as chicks to the hen.They will marvel at us and will be awe stricken before us, and
will be proud at our being so powerful and clever, that we have been able to subdue such a turbulent flock of thousands of millions.
They will tremble impotently before our wrath, their minds will grow fearful, they will be quick to shed tears like women and children,
but they will be just as ready at a sign from us to pass to laughter and rejoicing, to happy mirth and childish song.
Yes, we shall set them to work, but in their leisure hours we shall make their life like a child's game, with children's songs and innocent dance.
Oh, we shall allow them even sin, they are weak and helpless, and they will love us like children because we allow them to sin.
..........'We shall tell them that every sin will be expiated, if it is done with our permission,
that we allow them to sin
.........because we love them, and the punishment for these sins we take upon ourselves.My God is an AWEFUL God or a DREADFUL God for those who treat Him like an effeminate child who must be appeased by childhood games.
The meaning of WRATH is that God makes the performers into clowns or buffons.
Worship means reverence and those who sing (clap) are driving the nails (the meaning of clap) into the hands of Jesus. Yes, you pretend to be priestly musicians stumbling into the holy place (church) and you DO take their sins upon your own head. But God will destroy you spiritually because you even claim to be able to LEAD THEM INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE: Into the presence of God.
