Thus the
essential relationship between music and prophecy can be clearly seen. This
relationship also explains why the expression for "making music"
and "prophesying" was often identical in the ancient tongues.
origen contra celsum 8.67.
The Hebrew word Naba signifies not only "to prophesy"
but also "to make music." (Quasten, Johannes, Music and Worship in
Pagan and Christian Antiquity, p. 39)
"Son of man,
prophesy against the prophets
of Israel who are now prophesying.
Say to those who prophesy
out of their own imagination: 'Hear the word of the LORD! Ezekiel 13:2
This is what the
Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their
own spirit ("Old Wive's Tales or self-composed songs or
incantations with instruments)
and have seen nothing! Ezek 13:3
(This was
speaking out of their own spirit into the air 1
Corinthians 14:2, 9. Their "god" was Juno)
My hand will be
against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying
divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or
be listed in the records of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the
Sovereign LORD. Ezekiel 13:9
Likewise, thou son of
man, set thy face against the daughters
of thy people, which prophesy
out
of
their
own
heart; and prophesy
thou against them, Eze 13:17
And say, Thus saith
the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows (seductive suggestion) to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the
head of every stature to hunt
souls Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come
unto you? Ezekiel13:18
And will ye pollute me
among my people for handfuls of barley and
for pieces of bread, to slay the souls
that should not die, and to save the souls alive that
should not live, by your lying to my people that
hear your lies? Eze 13:19
Pollute is from the
Hebrew word:
Chalal (h2490) khaw-lal' to wound,
to dissolve; figurative to profane (a person,
place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by
an "opening wedge"); denom. (from 2485) to play the flute): defile, eat as common
things, gather the grape thereof, take inheritance, pipe, player on
instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane
(self), prostitute
Yes, I know that pollute
means different things, but isn't it interesting that God
always associates things like pollute, flute and
prostitute?

FREE Water of the Word.
Amos 8:1THUS hath the Lord God shewed
unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
Amos 8:2 And he said, Amos, what
seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer FRUIT. Then
said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of
Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD,
that I will send a
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for
water,

the WORDS of the LORD:
[Dabar, Logos,
Regulative Principle outlawing all of the participants]
Amos 8:12 And they shall wander
from
sea to sea, and from the north even to the east,
they shall run to and
fro to seek the WORD of the LORD, and shall not find
it.
Amos 8:13 In that day shall the
fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
Amos 8:14 They that swear by the
sin of Samaria, and say,
Thy god, O Dan,
liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth;
even they shall fall,
and never rise up again.
Paul's outlawing Females Usurping Authority also applies to
Males who are to BE holy to prevent wrath or an orgy. Women were
to be silent because they used sexual experiences facilitated by
music claiming that they arouse the gods and get Lectio-Divina
identifying the Thessalian witch. Both are to be silent
for the ONE PIECE PATTERN that "all might be SAFE and come to a
knowledge of the truth."
These are the Lord-Lord prophesiers and God does NOT know their
name:
 |
Nimrod, the
King, took a wife. The wife Nimrod chose was his
mother. So the “son” became both the husband and
son of the mother. In effect making this
marriage a “trinity” union in as much as the “husband”
was the same person as the “son” united as “one” with
the wife/mother. So Nimrod married his mother,
Semiramis, and she became the Queen of Babylon.
It was Semiramis from which the religion surrounding
Nimrod and the planets (astrology) evolved.
Nimrod the mighty and ruthless murderer was killed for
his crimes against humanity by the sons of Noah.
Nimrod was the Hunter AGAINST God. He, like Osiris, was
cut into pieces so that Semiramis "Mary" had to give birth
to Tammuz (Ezekiel 13) god:
She then gave
birth to a son named Tammuz whom she claimed was the
reincarnation of Nimrod. So through the belief
that Tammuz was "Nimrod in the flesh" the queen was
able to subdue the people of Babylon. So Tammuz
was “Nimrod in the flesh” and “one” with his father
who was “one” with his wife/mother through marriage… the
unholy concept of aTrinity is born.
As the Always Antithesis, God caused Mary to Conceive
the Second Adam as He breathed (spirit) into the Egg in
the Womb. Jesus was the SON OF GOD and not GOD the
father.
This human attempt at global governance through the use
of “dark knowledge”, astrology, and pagan god
worship was an abomination to Jehovah. The Tower
of Babel was a tower built not to “reach up to Jehovah”
but rather as a massive structure from which to consult
the stars through the use of astrology and communicate
with “The Sun” Baal. This is the origin of the sabbath
as WORSHIP and the TITHE.jjj

"In this view, the Mesopotamian
vision of the marriage between heaven (God) and earth
(the salt-water ocean) was inherited by the early Hebrews, who
participated in hieros gamos rituals until at
least the time of the Babylonian
exile. The story of Eve and the Serpent,
according to this theory, is an inverted version of
earlier mythologies in which the serpent diety was originally
the natural consort of the Mother Goddess.
In the biblical version, however, both Eve and the serpent are
cursed by the sovereign male deity, Yahweh.
This reversal of roles is thought to be the result of the
patriarchal system of Israel imposing
itself on the older mythology of Canaan and Egypt. Campbell
points out that the serpent plays a positive role in the old
legends of Moses, who carries a powerful
rod which has the power to turn itself into a serpent (Ex. 4)
and is commanded by God to create and uplift a broze serpent icon which heals the Israelites
(Num. 21).
Theophilus.Autolycus.II.html
This Eve, on account of her
having been in the beginning deceived by the serpent,
and become the author of sin, the wicked demon,
who also is called Satan, who then spoke to her through
the serpent, and who works even to this day in those
men that are possessed by him, invokes as Eve.And
he is called "demon" and "dragon," on account of his
revolting from God. For at first he was an angel. And
concerning his history there is a great deal to be said;
wherefore I at present omit the relation of it, for I
have also given an account of him in another place.
Godly APT elders are
silent along with the women to prevent wrath or and ORGY from
breaking out. This is such a demonic danger that after
the fall into Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted idolatry at
Mount Sinai God breathed as the Spirit OF Christ and defined
the Church of Christ (the Rock) both inclusively and
exclusively: that pattern never changed and was the pattern
taught by Thomas Campbell:
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time
hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the
synagogues every sabbath day.
The rulers then and
not MARK themselves as ignorant and dangerous because their
Driven Purpose is to silence the Word, Logos or the Regulative
principle which OUTLAWS any religious operative defined as a
parasite and LYING IN WAIT TO
DECEIVE (Eph 4)
Acts 13:27 For they that
dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
because they
knew him not,
nor yet the
voices of the prophets
which are READ every
sabbath day,
they have
fulfilled them in condemning him
A
Church of Christ is built upon or educated by the Prophets
and Apostles: Jesus defined Holy Scripture as the Prophets
and other instances which prophesied about Him. The PATTERN
of the multitude of Apostates is the Jacob-Cursed and
God-Abandoned Levites and their abandonment to the Sacred
Sex in Jerusalem called Sodom:
Is.
1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye RULERS of Sodom;
give ear unto the law of our God, ye
people of Gomorrah.
Rev.
11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great
city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified
The Spirit OF
Christ contradicts.
Is. 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of
your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD:
I am full of the burnt
offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts;
and I delight not in the
blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
Those who are Ignorant of the Prophets as the RESOURCE for songs
and sermons to be PREACHED by being READ are likely to collect as
many men and women around them as possible. Those whom John
Calvin called Lazy Asses stealing from the Plowing Oxen have no
role and no dole. Therefore, Godly women should grasp that
deliberately sowing discord to add some sex appeal to what Ezekiel
called Workshops of Evil are quite happy to have females blaspheme
by soliciting people to continue the FAD of the Son of Solomon.
They cannot grasp that they are fulfilling the end time prophecy
where the Muses (locusts) led by Apollon is collecting any and all
religious craftsman, singer, instrument player and the piping
sound of the millstone locates the local prostitute. John
calls them sorcerers: Lectio Divina and the Beast meaning A new
style of music and satyric (cappella-Pan) drama.

God Abandoned the
Jews to Worship the Starry Host because of
Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted idolatry at Mount Sinai.
Romans 1
and other evidence proves the rising up to PLAY profaned
(a music word) the day God gave for REST from
religious-sexual rituals much like the Hieros Gamos of the
original Babylon Mother of Harlots in Sumer and the
end-time Babylon Mother of Harlots in a church near you.
As warned about by Paul in excluding the dogs and
concision her ministers were "lusted after fruits" as well
defined in Amos Chapter Eight. The speakers, singers and
instrument players were called Sorcerers-the title of the
original--and says that they will be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF
FIRE.
The Sacred Marriage or Hieros Gamos of Eve who said that she had
gotten a man from the Lord. Eve isn't treated kindly and may
explain how Paul knew more than a "doctor of the Law."
Because of the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted (real or
virtual) worship at Mount Sinai God sentenced the Jews back to
Babylonia where most would die. Moses wrote Genesis to show the
destructive work of the Elohim and how God restored the Hebrew
People.
Modern scholars such as Joseph Campbell hold that the
creation story of the Book of Genesis
represents a retelling of the Enuma Elish creation myth. Here,
the vision of Aspu and Tiamat's coupling is condensed into the
formula:
"In this view, the Mesopotamian vision of
the marriage between heaven (God) and earth (the
salt-water ocean) was inherited by the early Hebrews, who
participated in hieros gamos rituals until at
least the time of the Babylonian
exile. The story of Eve and the Serpent, according to
this theory, is an inverted version of earlier
mythologies in which the serpent diety was originally the natural

cover thee.
Is. 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of
the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations!
Is. 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I
will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides
of the north:
Is. 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre
shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one
king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an
harlot.
Is. 23:16 Take an [1]
harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten;
make sweet [2] melody,
sing many [3]songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Is. 23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy
years, that the LORD will visit Tyre,
and she shall turn to
her hire, and shall commit fornication
with all the kingdoms of
the world upon the face of the earth.

Ezek. 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden

sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and
gold:
the workmanship of thy tabrets
and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that
thou wast created.
Ezek. 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have
filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned:
therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the

from the midst of the stones of fire

A biblical instance of a sacred
harlot probably associated with the tradition of hieros
gamos concerns the patriarch Judah
in the Book of
Genesis. Judah, whose lineage is about to expire, goes
to the town of Timnah for a spring sheep-shearing festival,
where he has sexual relations with a veiled sacred harlot near
the town gate. The woman is actually his daughter-in-law Tamar, who bears him twin sons that become
the forefathers of the Tribe of
Judah.
Later, such practices were strongly
condemned by the prophets and writers
of biblical histories. Deuteronomy 23:17 forbids the
practice which Tamar imitated, saying: "No Israelite man or
woman is to become a shrine prostitute." The prophet Jeremiah complained: "Have you seen
what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every
high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed
adultery there" (Jeremiah 3:6).
The Books of Kings refer to male
shrine prostitutes as common in the Kingdom of Judah as early as the days of King
Rehoboam (tenth century B.C.E.) and as late as King Josiah (late seventh century B.C.E.): "He
(Josiah) also tore down the quarters of the male shrine
prostitutes, which were in the temple of the
Lord and where women did weaving for Asherah" (2 Kings 23:7).
On the other hand, the ancient tradition
of the deity's conjugal relations with the people of the land
found its way into the Jewish tradition when the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both referred to God
as the "husband" of Israel. Speaking of the city of Jerusalem,
Isaiah wrote: "As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so
will your God rejoice over you" (Isaiah 62:4). In later
tradition, the Sabbath would be
welcomed by the faithful congregation in the role of a Bride,
and the Shekhinah would be seen as a feminine aspect of God
that, among other things, plays a wifely role to a tzaddik,
or holy man.
Finally, the Song
of Solomon, although it has many interpretations, is
often cited as an example of the literature of hieros gamos.
And say, Thus saith
the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows (seductive suggestion) to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the
head of every stature to hunt
souls Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come
unto you? Ezekiel13:18
Likewise, thou son of
man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, Eze 13:17
In certain ancient
Israelite prophetic groups, music was
used to achieve the ecstatic state, in which the participants, in their
accompanying dancing, were believed to have been seized by the
hand of Yahweh, the God of Israel, as in the case of Saul,
the 11th-century-bc king of Israel.
Apollon's
Worxhip center: The Pythia (priestess) of the Greek oracle at Delphi often went into an ecstatic state during
which she uttered sounds revealed to her by the python (the snake, the
symbol of resurrection), after drinking water from a
certain spring.
Her "words" were then interpreted by a priest to help a suppliant find a way to avoid
calamities, especially death. In primitive religions, ecstasy was a
technique highly developed by shamans, religious personages with healing and psychic-transformation powers, in their "soul," or "spirit,"
flights. (See Delphic
oracle.) "ecstasy" Encyclopædia Britannica Online.
Why the underemployed leave their station and flock to the
workshops:
Jer. 23:26 How long shall this be in the
heart of the prophets that prophesy lies?
yea, they are prophets
of the deceit of their own heart;
Jer. 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my
name by their dreams which they tell every man to his
neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for
Baal.
Jer. 23:28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell
a dream;
and he that hath my word,
let him speak my word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the
wheat? saith the LORD.
God's Word as Dabar or Logos is God's Regulative
Principle: it outlaws speaking, singing, playing instruments
or acting. Denouncing the Witches or Sorcerers who
use music to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter, the
Spirit OF Christ said:
Is. 8:20 To the law and to the
testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Jer. 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire?
saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in
pieces?
Jer. 23:30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Jer. 23:31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD,
that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
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.
The Song of Solomon the PATTERN for the Latter Day Apostates
reviving the Babylon Mother of Harlots.
Contrary to the feminists who have been added to all of the
conclaves, God did NOT have Sex with His People: Blasphemy.
Paul was a Bible Student and understood that the Story of Eve and
the Serpent was Moses' Sumerian Account for Israel which had been
turned over to worship the starry host on their way back to their
old roles as Robbers of Caravans.
And again, Jesus defines Holy Scripture as the prophets and other
prophecies concerning Him. He defined the Scribes as hypocrites in
in Ezekiel 33 they are preachers for hire, singers or instrument
players. The prophets warn against the Lying Pen of the
Scribes especially the record of the temple and sacrificial system
which God did not command.
2Cor. 11:2 For I am jealous over

as the serpent beguiled
Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be

of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of
the devil.
1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
for his seed remaineth
in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not
righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his
brother.
1John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the
beginning, that we should love one another.
1John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,

And wherefore slew he

This Eve, on account of her
having been in the beginning deceived by the serpent,
and become the author of sin, the wicked demon,
who also is called Satan, who then spoke to her through
the serpent, and who works even to this day in those
men that are possessed by him, invokes as Eve.And
he is called "demon" and "dragon," on account of his
revolting from God. For at first he was an angel. And
concerning his history there is a great deal to be said;
wherefore I at present omit the relation of it, for I
have also given an account of him in another place.
The word "abomination" is also key to understanding
the context. In Hebrew, the word "to 'evah," (abomination) is almost
invariably linked to idolatry. In the passages from which both verses are
taken, God tells Moses to tell the people not to follow the
idolatrous practices of the people around them, people who
sacrificed their children to Molech, or who masturbated into the fire to
offer their semen to Molech, for example. Chapter 20
starts off with the same warning.
"To 'evah" also means "something which is
ritually unclean," not something evil in itself,
like rape or theft. Eating pork or having sex during
menstruation are ritually unclean.
The Spirit OF
Christ identified the Devil's Agent as a singing and
harp-playing prostitute:

Gender and Leadership Crystal L Hoyt:
One argument attempting to explain
the leadership gap is that women are just different
than men when it comes to traits associated with
effective leadership. Although people often associate
primarily masculine traits such as aggressiveness and
dominance with leadership, effective leadership actually requires an
androgynous combination of feminine and masculine
trait.

Like the ancient pagan Sodomites pounding on the door of Lot's house millennia ago, the modern gay movement is gathering at the doors of our churches, our academies, and our once traditionally "Christian"
culture, demanding entrance
and full
recognition. Notable scholar David A. J. Clines, professor of OT at Sheffield University,
for one,
appears ready to lay down the welcome mat. He wrote in 1998: ". . . [though] queer theory has yet to show its face at the SBL [Society of Biblical Literature],3 gayness is challenging...
all that
we hold
dear. When
we begin
to redraw
the alterity
map, the
boundaries between same and different...
we find
ourselves having to think through everything, and
not just
sexuality, from scratch."4 Clines, who not long ago was known for his conservative theological
position, illustrates how
far acceptance
of the
gay movement
has come
in recent
years, even among those from strongly Biblical
backgrounds.

animals that love to eat young grapes, have to be kept
from the vineyards lest they spoil the harvest. But the
man and woman have light hearts. They turn this task into
a game, chasing away the “little foxes.” Their work is so
amenable to games of love that it leads to the double
entendre, “our vineyards are in blossom.” This glorious
picture of agricultural life in springtime hearkens back
to the Garden of Eden, where tending the plants was meant
to be a pleasure. Genesis 3:17–19 tells us that, because

even while admitting that they are better men than the

they say about the gods1

many good men misfortunes and an evil life but to their
opposites a contrary lot; and begging priests2

"The cinaedi was a group of men--apparently,
a large group--that during the early
Roman Empire adopted a "lifestyle" characterized by flamboyant

dress,
make-up, hairdos, and other affectations. Surviving literary sources
describe them, almost always in vitriolic terms,
mainly as gender transgressors who foreswore the ordinary
conduct expected of males.
Interestingly, the ancient authors are far
less concerned with the cinaedi's actual homosexual practices than with the clothing and make-up.
Frier's most immediate
interest is in how the external style of the cinaedi was
related to the group's self-definition and to the perception
of others. Bruce

Marcus Reciting the Book:
Tragedy is associated with the stage, lyric with the convivium,
11 Hence, I argue first that
the representation of the epic recital is highly dependent
upon the representation of other public
performances and, second, that
epic's social image is attacked and reclaimed via its public performance. In fact, behind the
criticisms of the epic recital often lie issues about the performance of gender and social status.
In that regard, epic's
position is parallel to that of rhetoric. Beginning with Aristotle's Rhetorica (1404a), critics of rhetorical performance have ascribed to lively
delivery the same effect as that of acting. There is a persistent association
between theatrics, bad rhetoric
and effeminacy.
12 That this pattern of
criticism was transferred onto the epic recital is ironic
because the setting which brought epic into existence in
Greece was public performance. In the hands of the Roman satirists and
critics, however, epic's performance became subject to the
same kind of scrutiny to which the public performance of rhetoric in
first-century Rome was subjected.
Rhetoric was forever at
pains to disentangle itself from unwanted
associations with female deception and histrionic art, because it was
viewed as the art of socially weak women
and slaves,and rhetoricians of all ages have assiduously
fought against any trace of bodily and vocal practice associated with these
groups.

Enders (1997) 253--78. Such gendering of aesthetic categories prevails
not only in antiquity but appears also in Kant's distinction between the passive feminine
beautiful and the active masculine sublime and
in Rousseau's association of art and
the theater with the feminine. I have in mind Kant's "The
Beautiful and the Sublime" and "The Fair Sex" and Jean-Jacques
Rousseau's "On
Theater and Morals," in Kramnick (1995) 339--42,
580--86, 333--36.

Quintilian contrasts cantare to agere, chanting a speech to delivering it (I.O. 11.3.60). The recitals of epic, as we shall see
further, are also evaluated in the light of this performative
practice. I suggest that in the same way as the
orator strives to distinguish himself from the realm of performance (canticum), so the public reader of epic is also confronted with the
borderline between recitare and cantare.
Oratory initially modeled itself on the
performance of serious
poetry, and
gradually tried to distinguish itself from the realm of song. As Habinek notes,
"Oratory, perhaps because its performance context so closely resembles the occasions that
call for public
song, is
carefully policed throughout its history to
prevent its reverting
to the musical incantation from
which it--and the terminology for its study--evolved." However,
from the examples that I have just used, it is evident, I
believe, which art
of music I
consider appropriate in the training of the orator and to what extent.
Nevertheless,
I think that I need to be more explicit in stating that the music which I prescribe is not the modern music which has been emasculated by the lascivious
melodies of the effeminate stage and has to no small extent
destroyed the amount of manly vigor
that we still possessed. I
refer rather to the music of old with which people used to sing the praises of brave men
and which the brave themselves used to sing.
Inanna and her relation to Dumuzi, the shepherd boy with whom
the supreme, all – powerful goddess fell in love. In the drama
the goddess descends into the netherworld for reasons that are
not altogether clear but are certainly related to her ambition
to perfect her rule by extending it even over the realm of the
dead. She is defeated in her attempt, and her “elder sister”,
Ereshkigal (“The Queen of the Great Below”) makes no exception
in her case; she fixes “the look of death” on Inanna. Inanna
cannot escape unless a substitute is found. She vows to find
one. In her absence, Dumuzi, her love, spends his time with all
the paraphernalia of wealth and power, occupying the throne.
Although Inanna had no intention of consigning him to the
netherworld in her place, she now fixes “the look of death” on
him and orders the demons to take him away and torture him. The
story ends in a compromise, whereby Dumuzi will be on earth for
half the year, and the other half in the realm of death.
