Ray Downen defends one sect of the Christian church which flies the flag of UNITY but they intend to BOARD you and force you to impose instruments or "machines for doing hard work" to escape the terrorism of being MARKED as an ANTI-instrumental person.

Sirach 47:8. In all that he did he gave thanks to the Holy One, the Most High, with ascriptions of glory;
he sang praise with all his heart, and he loved his Maker.

9. He placed singers before the altar,
to make sweet melody with their voices.

10. He gave beauty to the feasts, and arranged their times throughout the year, while they praised God's holy name, and the sanctuary resounded from early morning.

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 2 Chronicles 7:5

And the priests waited on their offices: (Religious)

the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which (Authorized for Civil-state)

David the king had made to praise the Lord,

because his mercy endureth for ever (To stop the plague!)

when David praised by their ministry; (Notice: not the congregation!)

and the priests sounded trumpets before them,

and all Israel stood (ordained to be present or stand fast). 2 Chronicles 7:6
David did not compose songs, invent and institute musical instruments under the commanders of the army for us! Nor did he do it for congregational worship.

BUILDING THE FOUNDATION: The people were Quarantined from Sacrificial System added as part of the worship of the starry host to which God had abandoned the nation.

Isreal fell fatally from Grace because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.
God turned them over to worship the starry host (Acts 7 and a dozen more passages)
God burdened them with The Book of The Law and the Levites to "bear the burdens of sin."
The Abrahamic Covenant was lost and the First Born sons replaced.
No one not of that tribe not specificially ordained could COME NEAR the Tabernacle without sinning.

Because the false teachers REST on the curse of the Law and the Monarchy, the elders, preachers and artistic performers would be executed.

No Levite, used as Warrior Noise makers and later under the king and commanders of the army could come near the holy places of the sactury or they would be executed. The patternism is that if a musician enter into the body of Christ as fulfilment of the Holy Place is worthy of death.

Num 18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister BEFORE the tabernacle of witness. [never IN]

H8334 sharath shaw-rath' A primitive root; to attend as a menial or worshipper; figuratively to contribute to:--minister (unto), (do) serve (-ant, -ice, -itor), wait on.

Num 18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle:
only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,
that neither they, nor ye also, die.

All of the non-Levites were called STRANGERS: therefore, if you were not of the tribe of Levi and had the assignment to serve. Therefore, no member of the "church" could come near the Tabernacle.

"A stranger," that is, one, neither a priest nor a Levite, who should intrude into any departments of the sacred office, should incur the penalty of death. ROBERT JAMIESON

Num 18:4 And they shall be joined unto thee,
        and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation,
        for all the service of the tabernacle:
        and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

Num 18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar:
that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

Contrary to being a spiritual worship service, the sacrificial system had been imposed and if it were not performed it would bring down God wrath as punishment due for NOT performing what they had been abandoned to.

Num 18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel:
to you they are given as a gift for the LORD,
to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Num 18:7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar,
and within the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift:
and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers 18:21

H5656‛abodah ‛abodoh ab-o-daw', ab-o-daw' From H5647 ; work of any kind:--act, bondage, + bondservant, effect, labour, ministering (-try),

H5647‛abad aw-bad' keep in bondage, be bondmen, bond-service, compel, do, dress, ear, execute

"Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bearsin, and die. Numbers 18:22

The sacrificial system was imposed on the Levites as a curse or burden.

Num 18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations,
that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

That this was a curse

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. Jeremiah 7:20

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
       Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. Jeremiah 7:21

For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor commanded them
        in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
        concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22
But this thing commanded I them, saying,
       Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people:
       and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you,
       that it may be well unto you. Jeremiah 7:23
But they HEARKENED NOT, nor inclined their ear,
       but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart,
       and went backward, and not forward. Jeremiah 7:24

Furthermore, all of the performing arts are identified as the Hypocritic arts and because they produced nothing good and caused lots of destruction of morals they were called PARASITES.

Why are people so anxious to impose the CURSE of hypocrites and parasites.

IT WAS HEZEKIAH'S CONTRACT WITH GOD TO HOLD AN EXORCISM SERVICE BECAUSE THE PRIESTS HAD FLED THE TEMPLE AND CITY POLLUTED BY ASSYRIAN WORSHIP. Hezekiah wanted the city protected from a threatened attack. They were burning infants before chapter 29 and they were burning infants after chapter 29 because that's what you do when God "turns you over to worship the starry host" BECAUSE of musical idolatry.

God rescued Israel by Grace: In Exodus 31 God OUTLAWED their old worship of the starry host which PROFANED the REST day with vocal and instrumental music when they were supposed to be thinking about the CREATOR: they worshipped the creature and there has always been a bonding between religious musicians and abnormal sexuality.

See Exodus Chapter 32

God turned them over to worship the starry host they had practiced in Egypt. The Levite instruments were an old infant burning sect in Egypt and therefore for the duration of the Exodus they worshipped Molech. Christ in Isaiah 30 uses this as a MARK of God driving His enemies into hell with wind, string and percussion instruments.

When the elders FIRED God, He totally abandoned them and promised that the human king would use the young boys to make musical instruments, run before the chariots and bel the first slaughtered.

2 Samuel.Eight is probably not covered in once-Christian colleges.

The Goat or Azazel was an offering for the DEVIL after the Nadab and Abihu incident. Therefore, notice that all of the atoning sacrifices are made with NO warrior's instruments.

2Chr. 29:20 Then Hezekiah the KING rose early,
        and gathered the RULERS of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
2Chr. 29:21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats,
        for a sin offering for
                the kingdom,
                and for the sanctuary,
                and for Judah.
        And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
2Chr. 29:22 So they killed the bullocks,
        and the priests received the blood,
        and sprinkled it on the altar:
likewise, when they had killed the rams,
        they sprinkled the blood upon the altar:
they killed also the lambs,
        and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

SECONDLY IT WAS HEZEKIAH'S IDEA TO TRY TO MAKE PEACE WITH APOSTATE ISRAEL.
