Malachi 4
Only a small remnant of Jews continued their obedience by being baptized by the baptism to separate the chaff from the wheat: the baptism of Spirit and Fire is the winnowing process whereby they would be overcome by WIND and separated to be burned up. The wheat would be those who accepted water baptism as the instrumental means Christ prophesied and Jesus commanded for requesting A holy spirit or A good conscience. Throughout the Bible musical instruments have been the way to subdue or make people unable to respond to Jesus and His Word: you simply cannot do both at the same time. Those who use their own AIDS simply do not believe that the Word by the Prophets and Apostles can accomplish THEIR will to take captive people in mega church institutes. Jesus invites the small groups to come rest and "learn of Me."

The Fire That Consumes The Fire starter or Musical Minister(ess) for Apollo, Abaddon, Apollyon: "Hell" was just outside of Jerusalem: maybe coming to a church near you.
Mark 9 the Worm that Dieth Not. What if it turns out that this identifies the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites or maggots who live off those already spiritually dead because of being shut out of the kingdom by all of the performing arts intending to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter. Believe it: all sacrificial musicians were callled "parasites" and the heretic was the priest who "lifted them up to cut their throats" made dumb before the slaughter.
Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh,

shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts,

2Corinthians 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope,God gave Israel The Book of The Covenant of Grace. They rose up against God in musical idolatry and God gave them The Book of The Law and sentenced them to be sent beyond Babylon. Paul in Romans 10 and 1 Corinthians 10 warned about the idolatry or demon worship at Mount Sinai. God blinded them until the time of Messiah.
we use great plainness of speech:
2Corinthians 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face,
that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded:
for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away
in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Corinthians 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Corinthians 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,

Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,

Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me; him shall ye hear.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: in the Ezekiel 33 version Christ named speakers, singers and instrument players.

SOD THE MYSTERIES OE ADONI BY S. F. DUNLAP
Maury supposes the origin of the Mysteries of Bacchus and Demeter comparatively modern : (the sixth century before Christ).— Maury, II. 316, 319. The name of Abal, Bol, Baal, Bpul, Apollo, was much older than Dionysus, and certainly was ancient among the Hebrew -Phoenicians and Babylonians.
It is clear that Judaism turned its back upon the Baal or Adonis (Bacchus) worship with its groves, mysteries and festivals.
— Kings and Chronicles passim; Spirit-Hist., 222 ; Wisdom of Solomon, xiv. 23, Greek copy. The Old Testament particularly denounces " Baal (Adonis) 1 and the groves " !—Judges, iii. 7 ; vi. 28, 25.
1 1 Kings, xiv. 15, 23; xv. 13; xvi. 33; 2 Kings, xiii. 6; xvii. 16, they made two little bulls and a grove, and worshipped the Stars, and Bol (Baal) ; xxi. 3, 1, 5 ; xxiii. 6.
Movers, 171. Baal had his prophets, priests, and his solemn assembly or feast, like Adonis. —2 Kings, x. 19, 20. INTRODUCTION. Xlll The dark-colored ivy and the untrodden geove of God with its myriad fruits, sunleas, and without wind in all storms : where always the frenzied Dionysus dwells ! — Sophocles, Oidip. Eol., 675.
Soph. OC 668 Chorus
Stranger, in this land of fine horses you have come to earth's fairest home, the shining Colonus. [670] Here the nightingale, a constant guest, trills her clear note under the trees of green glades, dwelling amid the wine-dark ivy [675] and the god's inviolate foliage, rich in berries and fruit, unvisited by sun, unvexed by the wind of any storm. Here the reveller Dionysus ever walks the ground, [680] companion of the nymphs that nursed him.
Soph. OC 681 Chorus
And, fed on heavenly dew, the narcissus blooms day by day with its fair clusters; it is the ancient crown of the Great Goddesses. [685] And the crocus blooms with a golden gleam. Nor do the ever-flowing springs diminish, from which the waters of Cephisus wander, and each day with pure [690] current it moves over the plains of the land's swelling bosom, bringing fertility. Nor have the dancing Muses shunned this place, nor Aphrodite of the golden rein.
Adonis is Dionusos ! "The grove of the Golden Aphrodite." — Justin, ad Graecos, p. 27.
Apollo in Revelation is Abaddon or Apollyon and the muses are the Locusts in John's coded message.
-Hom. Od. 1.125 Heralds poured water over their hands, and maid-servants heaped by them bread in baskets, and youths filled the bowls brim full of drink; and they put forth their hands to the good cheer lying ready before them. [150] Now after the wooers had put from them the desire of food and drink,
heir hearts turned to other things, to song and to dance; for these things are the crown of a feast. And a herald put the beautiful lyre in the hands of Phemius, who sang perforce among the wooers; [155] and he struck the chords in prelude to his sweet lay. But Telemachus spoke to flashing-eyed Athena, holding his head close, that the others might not hear: “Dear stranger, wilt thou be wroth with me for the word that I shall say? These men care for things like these, the lyre and song, [160] full easily, seeing that without atonement they devour the livelihood of another, of a man whose white bones, it may be, rot in the rain as they lie upon the mainland, or the wave rolls them in the sea.
-Hom. Od. 21.401
3. of a slave in a temple, a. poleōs devoted to this service by the city, E.Ion310.—Cf. anathema.Christ defines this clearly in Isaiah 33.
Any object so sacrificed or devoted to the Lord could not be redeemed (Num. 18:14; Lev. 27:28, 29); and hence the idea of exterminating was connected with the word. The Hebrew verb (haram) is frequently used of the extermination of idolatrous nations. It had a wide range of application. The anathema or herem was a person or thing irrevocably devoted to God (Lev. 27:21, 28); and "none devoted shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death" (27:29). The Hebrew word therefore carried the idea of devoted to destruction (Num. 21:2, 3; Josh. 6:17); and hence a majority of scholars have treated the word anathema similarly, generally as meaning a thing accursed. For example, in Deut. 7:26 an idol is called a herem = anathema, understood to mean a thing accursed.
