John.Mark.Hicks.Miriam.Prophetess.Song.Leader

John Mark Hicks Musical Worship as Sorcery.  John Mark Hicks like all Theologians can dream up a progressive plot that calls God the Father, Moses, the Prophets, Jesus, the Apostles, church history etal LIARS.  That is not lying: that is New Hermeneutic.

John Mark Hicks Asserts.
Moses, Aron and Miriam were PROPHETS speaking for God..
God spoke to Moses Face To Face, but God soke to MIRIAM through Dreams
Miriam was the first Musical Worship Leader of MALES and the whole CONGREGATION.
John Mark Hicks interprets Paul:
1Cor. 14:34  Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak;
         but they are commanded to be under obedience, AS ALSO SAITH THE LAW.

John Mark Hicks says that the LAW is the example of Miriam and therefore, she is NOT to be silent but she can be the musical worship leader over males.

THIS CONTRADICTS THE SCRIPTURAL FACTS

Moses, Aaron and Miriam were to HEAD UP the exodus out of Egypt.  Aaron was Moses' Mouth.
Miriam was a "princesses" and would be a Priestesss of Hathor,, the female Apis the golden calf.
Miriam and the Levites were prophets meaning soothsayers or Sorcerers.
Miriam led the WOMEN out in the sense of escaping and just repeating a phrase out of Moses' song given by  god. Ignoring Moses and just repeating a stanza is defined as a Laded Burden.


John Mark Hicks knows that this is the CHURCH because the people ASSEMBLED far down in chapter 16:3  This was a large MUMBLING crowd and not the Synagogue for Reading the Word only.

The assembly is found in chapter 16 by J . Qahal is any assembly. However, in a synagogue Holy Convocation it causes everyone to give attention to the READING OF THE LAW only.
All of the silencing of women passages are connected with drug or music made women who claimed to speak for God.
Paul Silences both Male and Female so that the WORD could be read.
Paul put any discussion by women which would question the WORD in privacy in homes.

MIRIAM THE PROPHETESS

From a later incident we understand that Miriam still believed that she way a prophetess of Yahweh perhaps as she had been to Hathor in Egypt. She is called a "prophetess" but there is no precedent. Miriam is probably derived from "Meri" (loved one) of the god "Amun." That is, "Meriamun."

Exodus 15:[20] sumpsit ergo Maria prophetis soror Aaron tympanum in manu egressaeque sunt omnes mulieres post eam cum tympanis et choris
 
Ex.15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
The PATTERNISTIC proof text to authorize a female musical worship minister. This is so profound that anyone who does not read it the same way is inflicted with hate crime:
Ex 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Here is what Miriam did which was common did what the Israelites did in Egypt and never ceased to do.
Sistrum, a metallic rattle which was used by the Egyptians in celebrating the rites of Isis, and in other lascivious festivals,.Ov. Am. 2, 13, 11 By the Jews, Vulg. 1 Reg. [Samuel] 18, 6 .--Hence sarcastically, as if used for a war - trumpet by the wanton Cleopatra Verg. A.8.696   Luc. 10.63
Here is what Miriam really did:
Yaca (h3318) yaw-tsaw'; a prim. root; to go (causat. bring) out, in a great variety of applications, lit. and fig... break out, ..be condemned, departure), draw forth, escape, exact, fail, ufall (out), fetch forth (out), get away.. lead out, pluck out, proceed, pull out,

And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.Ge.4:16
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. Ex.32:24
There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor. Na.1:11
Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. Zec.14:3

Here is what God thought of her "revelations."
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. Deut 24:8
        Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way,
       
after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. Deut 24:9u


God will afflict Miriam with leprosy when she claims to speak for God.  The first meaning of prophet in the PAGAN sense meant a charismatic, musical performer.  All dramatic performance is INTERPRETATION which is, according to Paul, just speaking in tongues.

-Prophe-ta  I. a foreteller, SOOTHSAYER prophet... oraculorumque interpretes, sacerdotes Aegyptiorum, quos prophetas vocant,”,  [Priestess of Egpt prophetess call out] Aegyptius, propheta primarius
PHRASE: Aegyptius, propheta primarius 1.  Aegyptius,
2.  Prophetai
3.  Primarius I. one of the first, of the first rank, chief, principal, excellent, remarkable,
primarius parasitus,the first speaker, he who has a right to be heard

Plaut 2.1.73   PERIPLECOMENUS  You are a simpleton. For, if you lay anything out on a bad wife and upon an enemy, that is an expense; that which is laid out on a deserving guest and a friend is gain; as that, which is expended upon sacred rites, is a profit to the wise man. By the blessing of the Gods, I have enough, with which to receive you with hospitality in my house. Eat, drink, indulge your tastes with me, and surfeit yourself with enjoyments; my house is at your service, myself likewise do I wish to be at your service. For, through the blessing of the Gods, I may say that, by reason of my wealth, I could have married a dowered wife of the best family; but I don't choose to introduce an everlasting female barker at me into my house.

PLEUSICLES  Why don't you choose? For 'tis a delightful thing to be the father of children [liberos]
PERIPLECOMENUS  Troth, 'tis very much sweeter by far to be free [liberum] yourself. For a good wife, if it is possible for her to be married anywhere on earth, where can I find her? But am I to take one home who is never to say this to me, "Buy me some wool, my dear, with which a soft and warm cloak may be made, and good winter under-clothes, that you mayn't catch cold this winter-weather;" such an expression as this you can never hear from a wife, but, before the cocks crow, she awakes me from my sleep, and says, "Give me some money, my dear, with which to make my mother a present on the Calend , give me some money to make preserves; give me something to give on the Quinquatrus to the SORCERESS [prae-cantrix] to the woman who interprets the dreams, to the prophetess, and to the female diviner; besides, 'tis impossible for me, in civility, not to fee the expiating woman; for long has the mattress-maker been grumbling, because she has received nothing; besides, the midwife found fault with me, that too little had been sent for her. What! arn't you going to send something to the nurse that brings up the young slaves? It's a shame if nothing's sent her; with what a brow she does look at me." These and many other expenses of the women like to these frighten me from a wife, to be uttering speeches to me like to this.

Tympanotriba , ae, m., = tumpanotribês,
I. a taborer, a timbrel-player, a term of reproach for a soft, effeminate person (alluding to the priests of Cybele), Plaut. Truc. 2, 7, 49; cf. tympanum.

STRATOPHANES (to PHRONESIUM.) What say you? Why have you dared to say that you love another man?
PHRONESIUM I chose to.
STRATOPHANES Say you so, indeed? I'll first make trial of that. Do you, for the sake of such a shabby present, vegetables, and comestibles, and vinegar-water, bestow your love upon an effeminate, frizzle-pated, dark-haunt frequenting, drum-drubbing debauchee, a fellow not worth a nutshell

6 Is he deranged: "Hariolus." Literally, "a soothsayer," or "diviner." In their prophetic frenzy, these persons often had the appearance of being mad, and were so considered.
7 Drum-drubbing debauchee: "Typanotriba." Literally, "drum," or "tambourine beater." He alludes to the eunuch-priests of Cybele, who used to beat tambourines in her procession-probably in allusion to debauchees, emasculated by riot and dissipation

Părăsītus , i, m., = parasitos, lit. one who eats with another; hence, I. In gen., a guest (pure Lat. conviva): parasiti Jovis, the gods, Hence, parasitus Phoebi, a PLAYER. actor, II. In partic., in a bad sense, one who, by flattery and buffoonery, manages to live at another's expense, a sponger, toad-eater, parasite
    -Comically, of a whip: ne ulmos parasitos faciat, that he will make his elm-twigs stick to me like parasites, i. e. give me a sound flogging, he tutelar deity of parasites was Hercules,
Plaut. Curc. 2, 3, 79.

Remember the CODE Diotrephes: Name means begotten or BELOVED of Jove who is the "old man" who thrusts in the reaping hook (meaning a musical instrument) about now.

Notes from 2 Maccabees defining the Abomination of Desolation
The tensions which led to the Jewish revolt were exacerbated when the Jewish high priest, a Hellenist himself, offered a sacrifice to Heracles (Hercules) who was a Greek symbol of homosexuality.


Prophe-ta  I. a foreteller, SOOTHSAYER prophet... oraculorumque interpretes, sacerdotes Aegyptiorum, quos prophetas vocant,  Aegyptius, propheta primarius

John in Revelation 18 as well as ALL definitions of arusal singing and instruments calls it SORCERY used to DECEIVE the whole world.  The Iraelite NATION was DECEIVED here and later by usurping women.

But of the Jewish prophets once to PROVE that Miriam was a propheteSS and not a PROPHET.

--Of the Jewish prophets, Vulg. Luc. 1, 70.

Luke 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Luke 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Luke 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy convenant;
Luke 1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

MIRIAM, LIKE ALL POETS AND MUSICIANS, INTERPRETED FOR GOD without authority.
The INTERPRETER also idenfifies Miriam as claiming to be a MEDIATOR and the word points to the pagan "gods" known in Egypt as well as Greece.
Interpretes
I. An agent between two parties, a broker, factor, negotiator, divūm, the messenger of the gods, i. e. Mercury,
II. An explainer, expounder, translator, interpreter (syn. internuntius) portentorum, a soothsayer,
BUT GOD CONFIRMED THAT MIRIAM WAS NOT A REVEALING PROPHET.
Num 12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
Num 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
Num 12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
Num 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Num 12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
Num 12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
BY DEFINITION, The Feminine form of a "prophet" always identifies a FALSE prophet or simply a poetess.  Coming out of Egypt along with all of their abominations alerts us to look further.

The musical grasshopper or Lucusts is John's word to define the Muses unleashed by Apollyon for the end time final attempt at seduction. II. the ode sung at one of these festive processions,

The history left by the later Greek writers speak of the same Egyptian form of paganism and shows how the leaving with the rattles and dancine was a DEFACTO declaration that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OBEY THE MALE:

P. Ovidius Naso, Metamorphoses (ed. Brookes More) Book 9
 
And now the expected time of birth was near,
when in the middle of the night she seemed
to see the goddess Isis, standing by
her bed, in company of serious spirit forms;
 
Isis had crescent horns upon her forehead,
and a bright garland made of golden grain
encircled her fair brow. It was a crown
of regal beauty: and beside her stood
the dog Anubis, and Bubastis, there
the sacred, dappled Apis, and the God
of silence with pressed finger on his lips;
 
the sacred RATTLES were there, and Osiris, known
the constant object of his worshippers' desire,
and there the Egyptian SERPENT whose quick sting
gives long-enduring sleep. She seemed to see
them all, and even to hear the goddess say
to her, "O Telethusa, one of my
remembered worshippers, forget your grief;
 
your husband's orders need not be obeyed;
and when Lucina has delivered you,
save and bring up your child, if either boy
or girl. I am the goddess who brings help
to all who call upon me; and you shall
never complain of me--that you adored
a thankless deity." So she advised
by vision the sad mother, and left her.

ALL of the "musical" events and terms in the Bible are MARKS to identify people who refused to listen to the Word of God through the PROPHETS. I can find lots of evidence that the "Spirit OF Christ" spoke through the prophets (2 Cor 3; 1 Pe 1:11; Rev 19:10)

But, I haven't found the Spirit OF Christ instructing the kings whose musicians were Levitical Warriors
under King and Commanders of the Army.
But they refused to hearken,
.........and pulled away the shoulder,
.........and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Zechariah 7:11

They made their hearts as hard as flint
.........and [they] would not listen to the law
.........or to the words that the LORD Almighty
.........had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets.
.........So the LORD Almighty was very angry. Zechariah 7:12

Therefore it is come to pass, that

Image of Bast:
Ovid, art of love
And hast thy walks around Canope's walls,
Who Memphis visit'st, and the Pharian tower,
Assist Corinna with thy friendly powers.
Thee by thy silver Sistra I conjure,
A life so precious by thy aid secure;
So mayst thou with Osiris still find grace:
By Anubis's venerable face,
I pray thee, so may still thy rights divine
Flourish, and serpents round thy offerings twine
May Apis with his horns the pomp attend, [re: golden calf]
And be to thee, as thou'rt to her, a friend.
Look down, oh Isis! on the teeming fair,

1 Samuel 18:[6]  It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music. [7]  The women sang one to another [h6030 Anah] as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands. [8]  Saul was very angry

"was a typical woman's instrument... Although it occurs in the Psalter and in religious hymns (Exod. 15; Jer. 31:4), it was not permitted in the temple. Its functions in the bible was restricted to secular or religious frolicking, cultic dances, or processions (e.g., II Sam. 6:5; I Chr. 13:8; Ps. 68:25-26). Its absence in the temple ritual was possibly due to its strong female symbolism, which always accompanied the tambourine, and which made its use so popular at all fertility rites." (The Int. Std. Bible Dict., p. 474).
Ovid: book 9, Metamorphoses
the sacred rattles were there, and Osiris, knownj
the constant object of his worshipers' desire,
and there the Egyptian serpent whose quick sting
gives long-enduring sleep. She seemed to see
them all, and even to hear the goddess say
to her, "O Telethusa, one of my
remembered worshipers, forget your grief;
your husband's orders need not be obeyed;
and when Lucina has delivered you,
save and bring up your child, if either boy
or girl. I am the goddess who brings help
to all who call upon me; and you shall
never complain of me--that you adored
a thankless deity." So she advised
by vision the sad mother, and left her.

"Thus they made a golden bull, the image of an animal that was held to be the most sacred in that land; they offered unholy sacrifices, performed impious dances and sang hymns which differed in no way from the pagan mourning songs. Philo, De specialibus legibus

"This reference probably indicates the use of songs from the cult of Osiris... it can hardly be denied that Egyptian influence on Jewish musical practices was quite significant. This would stand to reason because of the high quality of Egyptian cultic music. The tambourine or timbrel, a hoop of bells over which a white skin was stretched, came from Egypt. Miriam used this instrument to accompany the singing and dancing on the shores of the Red Sea (Ex. 15).

"The trumpet... was the signaling instrument of the Egyptian army. The name of the Sistrum (2 Sam 6:5) was mena'ane'im. It was the Egyptian kemken used in the cult of Isis.

"The music during the transferring the Ark to Sion (David rose up to play)
and the
dances of the women at the Shiloh (Judges 21:21), were similar to the Egyptian liturgy and parades. "As Herodotus reports, women sang the praises of Osiris while liknesses of the gods were born about and, during the festival of Diana at Bubastis.

Paul will say that the songs in Corinth should be revealed doctrinal truth (1 Cor. 14:6) but Miriam claimed that she as a prophetess had the right to speak for God. However, the presbyterian Girardeau wrote that--

"In the first place, it will be noticed from the account of the triumphant rejoicing on the shore of the Red Sea that the men sang only: 'Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake saying.'" (Girardeau, George, p. 33)

"In the second place, it was Miriam and the women who used instruments of music on the occasion: 'And Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went after her with timbrels and with dances." (Girardeau, p. 33).

A Rabbi notes that: Shamans often journey to other realms through deep meditation induced through drumming and chanting (Exodus 15:20; 1 Samuel 10:5; Maimonides in Mishnah Torah, Hilchot Y'sodei HaTorah 7:4). In the course of these journeys they encounter various spirits at the doorway to each plane who demand of them a sort of password in the form of symbols that they would image, each symbol representing the name and attribute of the spirit guarding entry to that particular realm (Heichalot Zut'rati, MS Oxford 1531, folio 44a; Ma'aseh Mer'kavah 54b). Upon return from the journey, the shaman kisses the earth in gratitude for her revelatory experiences (Sefer Ha' Zohar, Vol. 3, folio 168a). On rare occasions, the shaman may become "trapped" at the passageway to one of these mystical realms, in which instance a disciple or colleague must apply to the shaman's knee a twig from a myrtle plant that is wrapped in pure wool and dipped in balsam oils. If that fails, one more ingredient is added: the light touch by the finger of a woman who is in transition from her menstrual cycle (Midrash Heichalot Rabbati, Ch. 18).
