King Solomon's Temple

2 Chronicles 5: was the Temple Dedication a pattern for the New Testament Church? No, God promised David a tent but Solomon built a house at a pagan site but God does not dwell in houses built by human hands. Nor, is God worshipped by the Works of human hands.

Because the Levitical musicians performing for the slaughter of innocent animals appears in the Bible it is easy for those who have no concern for truth to be sent strong delusions so that they and all of their captives can be damned and rejoicing all the way. God is like that. One of the favorite's is The dedication of Solomon's temple.

There are TWO THREADS throughout the Old Testament just as there is in any nation: the king's scribes kept journals of the civil affairs. However, the prophets by the Spirit of Christ repudiated the whole monarchy which was added as a curse. While the record of the civil affairs are in the Bible they do not have the same weight as the Prophets who repudiated the Civil-Religious institute as robbers and parasites.

Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John,

That the Pharisees puffed up unto strange boasting,
        were wont to pretend that the Divine Word was with them and in them,
        and therefore foolishly affirmed that they had advanced to marvellous wisdom,
        the Spirit Itself will testify,
        since Christ says by the Prophet Jeremiah unto them,
                How do ye say, WE are wise, and the word of the Lord is with us?
                For nought to the scribes became their lying pen;
                the wise men were ashamed, were dismayed and taken;
                what wisdom is in them? because they rejected the word of the Lord.

For how are they not taken rejecting the Living and Hypostatic Word of God, receiving not the faith to Him-ward,
        but dishonouring the Impress of God the Father, and refusing to behold His most true Form (so to say) through His God-befitting Authority and Power?

Therefore, before using the national warrior musicians as authority for Christian worship we might wonder why there is not a shred, not a chip of a stone or any evidence that Solomon's temple existed as defined. Even in the record the "musical" events can be separated by close to 300 years: hardly a PATTERNISM for making sure we get the tithes and offerings each week.

No one can tell you exactly how the temple looked but because it was built by an architect from Tyre it is reasonable to believe that it looked like and contained the same "idols" which would be outlawed if God had not abandoned the nation to worship the starry host. However, many ancient temples remain.

Josephus records (Antiquities 8.5.3), following Menander the historian, concerning King Hiram IHiram I was king of Tyre from 969 BC to 936 BC. During his reign, Tyre grew out from a satellite to the more important city of Sidon to the most important of the Phoenician cities and the holder of a large trading empire. Hiram allied himself with king So of Tyre (c. 965– 935 BCE):

He also went and cut down materials of timber out of the mountain called Lebanon Mount Lebanon is the mountain range that extends across the whole country of Lebanon about 160 km (100 mi) parallel to the Mediterranean coast and rising to 3,090 m (10,131 ft). Lebanon is historically defined from the mountains, which have provided for p, for the roof of temples; and when he had pulled down the ancient temples, he both built the temple of Heracles and that of Astarte and he was the first to celebrate the awakening (egersis) of Heracles in the month Peritius.

And there are many remains of this temple. The point is that we should use great care when dredging the chronicles of the unlawful King's court to find a patternism for the ekklesia as a school of the Biblb--only!

However, the lust to "make a place in the mainstream for those who both amuse and repulse us" many are repeating a PATTERNISM first enacted in a Spiritual realm, then in the Garden of Eden and in all of the FALLS from God's grace. If they could catch on then it would not be a very great delusion God has sent to this and all ages.

BECAUSE GOD TURNED THE ISRAELITES OVER TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST AND STEPHEN CONNECTS THIS TO AMOS, THIS MATERIAL WILL CONNECT YOU TO TEXT WHICH DEFINE THE "WORSHIP OF THE STARRY" HOST. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE GREEK AND EGYPTIAN LITERATURE. THEREFORE, IT WILL PROVE THAT THE TEMPLE TO THE STARRY HOST IS NOT A PATTERNISM FOR CHRISTIAN WORSHIP. Those who are now promoting a restoration of the cursed Levitical singers are the victims of a Paradigm Lost.

They miss the point that the Levite's father guided by the Spirit of Christ warned the literate in the first book of the Bible and then again in the last book of the Bible. God is like that: hiding the mysteries in plain view to make fools of the foolish. While the great commission was to be a blessing to all nations the children of Israel used their right to serve to enslave people to the prevailing Serpent and Astrial deity worship. In the Testament of Levi:

MADE CLEAR IN PROPHECY BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST

16. And now I have learnt in the book of Enoch that for seventy weeks will ye go astray,

and will profane the priesthood,
and pollute the sacrifices,
and corrupt the law,
and set at nought the words of the prophets.

In perverseness ye will persecute righteous men, and hate the godly; the words of the faithful will ye abhor, and the man who reneweth the law in the power of the Most High will ye call a deceiver; and at last, as ye suppose, ye will slay Him, not understanding His resurrection, wickedly taking upon your own heads the innocent blood. Because of Him shall your holy places be desolate, polluted even to the ground, and ye shall have no place that is clean; but ye shall be among the Gentiles a curse and a dispersion, until He shall again look upon you, and in pity shall take you to Himself through faith and water.

17. And because ye have heard concerning the seventy weeks, hear also concerning the priesthood;

for in each jubilee there shall be a priesthood.

In the first jubilee,

the first who is anointed into the priesthood shall be great, and shall speak to God as to a Father;
and his priesthood shall be filled with the fear of the Lord, and in the day of his gladness shall he arise for the salvation of the world.

In the second jubilee, he that is anointed shall be conceived in the sorrow of beloved ones; and his priesthood shall be honoured, and shall be glorified among all. And the third priest shall be held fast in sorrow; and the fourth shall be in grief, because unrighteousness shall be laid upon him exceedingly, and all Israel shall hate each one his neighbour. The fifth shall be held fast in darkness, likewise also the sixth and the seventh.

And in the seventh there shall be such pollution as I am not able to express, before the Lord and men, for they shall know it who do these things.

Therefore shall they be in captivity and for a prey, and their land and their substance shall be destroyed. And in the fifth week they shall return into their desolate country, and shall renew the house of the Lord.

And in the seventh week shall come the priests, worshippers of idols, contentious, lovers of money, proud, lawless, lascivious, abusers of children and beasts.

18. And after their punishment shall have come from the Lord, then will the Lord raise up to the priesthood a new Priest, to whom all the words of the Lord shall be revealed; and

He shall execute a judgment of truth upon the earth, in the fulness of days.
And His star shall arise in heaven, as a king shedding forth the light of knowledge in the sunshine of day, and He shall be magnified in the world until His ascension.

He shall shine forth as the sun in the earth, and shall drive away all darkness from the world under heaven, and there shall be peace in all the earth.

The heavens shall rejoice in His days, and the earth shall be glad, and the clouds shall be joyful, and the knowledge of the Lord shall be poured forth upon the earth, as the water of seas; and the angels of the glory of the presence of the Lord shall be glad in Him.

The heavens shall be opened, and from the temple of glory shall the sanctification come upon Him with the Father's voice, as from Abraham the father of Isaac.

And the glory of the Most High shall be uttered over Him,
and the spirit of understanding and of sanctification
shall rest upon Him in the water.

He shall give the majesty of the Lord to His sons in truth for evermore; and there shall none succeed Him for all generations, even for ever.

And in His priesthood shall all sin come to an end, and the lawless shall rest from evil, and the just shall rest in Him.

And He shall open the gates of paradise, and shall remove the threatening sword against Adam; and He shall give to His saints to eat from the tree of life, and the spirit of holiness shall be on them.

And Beliar shall be bound by Him, and He shall give power to His children to tread upon the evil spirits. And the Lord shall rejoice in His children, and the Lord shall be well pleased in His beloved for ever. Then shall Abraham and Isaac and Jacob be joyful, and I will be glad, and all the saints shall put on gladness.

MADE CLEAR BY THE PROPHETS WHO SPOKE BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST

So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would. Neh 9:24

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 [became soft, lived voluptuously]
themselves in thy great goodness.

Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee,
and cast thy law behind their backs,
and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee,
and they wrought great provocations. Neh 9:26

Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. Neh 9:34

For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. Neh 9:35

Behold, we are servants this day, [and so are you]
and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof,
behold, we are servants in it: Neh 9:36

And it yieldeth
        much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us
        because of our sins:
        also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle,
        at their pleasure,
        and we are in great distress. Neh 9:37

Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard,
they have trodden my portion under foot,
they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness Jer. 12:10

       They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns:
        they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit:
        and they shall be ashamed of your revenues
        because of the fierce anger of the Lord. Je.12:13

THE TWO THREADS: ONE OF BRASS AND ONE OF GOLD
PROPHETS VERSUS THE PRIESTS

A very small group of false teachers and professors have organized a new movement intending to restore the exorcism "music" of the sacrifricial system along with using the Wilderness Wondering as a patternism for church organization and worship. By claiming to be of the Stone-Campbell Movement they claim as their property those called ANTI-instrumental churches. By being evil or ignorant they claim the Levites who were Musical Warriors as their PATTERNISM for imposing musical instruments knowing that sowing of discord will put a large percentage of the owners "out of the synagogue.

Shortly after civil and religious liberty after the Revolution the eternal TWO THREADS of religion was manifested in so-called religious awakenings. This claimed that the early exercises called Witchcraft were proof that God approved of their movement. They attempt to lump these "Stonites" with the Church of Christ led in this country primarily by Thomas and Alexander Campbell.

The Church of Christ was RIGHT HAND movement attempted to use the Bible as its only authority for faith and practice. As such, they were quite aware of the TWO THREADS running through the Old Testament. The LEFT HAND of Satan had been prophesied. The Neo-Restoration movement in no uncertain words insists on RESTORING that which God always cursed and the Spirit of Christ defined as robbers an parasites in the Prophets as"that which was to be" especially GIVEN HEED TO (the only worship word). The agreed-upon magical mantra is that of the Warrior Levites "God commanded instrumental praise and you must not be disobedient." Therefore, they have confessed to the 2/3 blind and deaf that they have VIOLATED the direct command NOT TO participate in these Qahal or "synagogues of Satan."

After the fall from grace at Mount Sinai, God turned them over to worship the starry host which was that practiced by the LEVITES as a synomym for the musical-perverted worship of Dionysus.

Without returning to the Garden of Eden where Lucifer is called "the singing and harp playing prostitute" a good place to begin is God's prophecy of the 12 tribes of Israel

THE LEVITES ARE THE PATTERNISM FOR THOSE IMPOSING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

Jacob says I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord!" Of Simeon and Levi the patriarch remarks that they

Gen. 49:5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments [Sword or Musical]
   of cruelty are in their habitations.
Gen. 49:6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret;
        unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united:
        for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
Habitations means "stabbing" from "a cooking range" or boiler, a pot or furnace. God knew that they had a lust for blood and flesh and that was the only rationale for the national or pagan sacrificial systems.

The Levites would be warriors and the latin is bellor To understand such words, the Greek and Latin literature must be read.
In Vergil Aeneit 11 the word Bello is used of the triumph over using music.
With such, return'd triumphant from the war,
Her maids with cries attend the lofty car;
They clash with manly force their moony shields;
With female shouts resound the Phrygian fields.

Pulso To strike or punish, military machines, of musical instruments.

Tŭmultus , 1. In milit. lang., a sudden or impending war, civil war, insurrection, tumult, sedition, rebellion 2. tremendo Juppiter ipse ruens tumultu, i. e. the roar of thunder, storm, etc.:

The sounds are the Halal praise sounds which means "to make self vile" as a threat more often than worship.
Ululu See Hillel, below. This is the "lord, lord" form of prophesying Jesus does not hear.
B.Transf., of places, to ring, resound, re-echo with howling: căno I. Neutr., to utter melodious notes, to sing, sound, play.

Gen. 49:7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel:
        I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

"Dan," he says, "shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse-heels, so that his rider shall fall backwards (i.e., he will teach candidates black magic) .

Gen 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way,
        an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels,
        so that his rider shall fall backward.

Dan and the Temple Builder

2Chr. 2:13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding,
        of Huram my father’s,
2Chr. 2:14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan [Naphtali 1Ki 7:14], and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

so that his rider shall fall backward: Of Pentecostals and Serpent handlers, singers and dancers: GROUP ELEMENTAL is built through loud, rhythmic music and emotional ploy from the leader beforehand, composed to put the group in unison of thought; group's expectation and desire for the healings and falling backward cause it to happen.

ALL musical terms and names of instruments have evil roots and in the Greek literature singing and playing instruments is known as enchantment: John called them sorcerers (Rev 18:22-23)

The purpose of the Levites sacrificial music was to "make the lambs dumb before the slaugheter priest." The victim must be silenced and so the LOUD noise of the Levites made it imposible to hear the Word of God.

Biteth is: 5391. nashak, naw-shak´; a primitive root; to strike with a sting (as a serpent); figuratively, to oppress with interest on a loan: bite, lend upon usury.

This is the bite of the same "serpent" in the garden of Eden:

5175.  nachash, naw-khawsh´; from 5172; a snake (from its hiss):--serpent.
5172. nachash, naw-khash´; a primitive root; properly, to hiss, i.e. whisper a (magic) spell; generally, to prognosticate: certainly, divine, enchanter, (use) x enchantment, learn by experience, x indeed, diligently observe.

Nachuwsh (h5153) naw-khoosh'; appar. pass. part. of 5172 (perh. in the sense of ringing, i. e. bell-metal; or from the red color of the throat of a serpent [5175, as denom.] when hissing); coppery, i. e. (fig.) hard: - of brass.

Nechiylah (h5155) nekh-ee-law'; prob. denom. from 2485; a flute: - [plur.] Nehiloth.
Chaliyl (h2485) khaw-leel'; from 2490; a flute (as perforated):
The Hebrew word rendered "serpent" in Genesis 3:1 is Nachash (from the root Nachash, to shine, and means a shinning one. Hence, in Chaldee it means brass or copper, because of its shining. Hence also, the word Nehushtan, a piece of brass, in 2K ings 18:4.

In the same way Saraph, in Isaiah 6:2,6, means a burning one, and, because the serpents mentioned in Numbers 21 were burning, in the poison of their bite, they were called Saraphim, or Seraphs.

"The serpent-charmers usual instrument is the flute. Those who professed the art of taming serpents were called by the Hebrews menachashim, while the art itself was called lachash , (Jer 8:17; Ecc 10:11)" Smith's Dictionary, Serpent.

Lachash (h3908) lakh'-ash; from 3907; prop. a whisper, i. e. by impl. (in a good sense) a private prayer, (in a bad one) an incantation; concr. an amulet: - charmed, earring, enchantment, orator, prayer.

Curse is Maledico B.Transf., a cursed thing: Christus factus pro nobis maledictum Plaut. Bacch. 1, 2, 10

IN THE BEGINNING TIMES:
Gen 3:[14] Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
Gen 3:[15] I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

Again: Gen. 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Rom. 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

IN THE END TIMES:
LONG BEFORE THE END TIMES.

Rev. 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

A form gallantes, as if from gallare, “to rave like a priest of Cybelé,” is cited from Varro (ap. Non. p. 119Non., 5). In their wild, enthusiastic, and boisterous rites the Galli recalled the legends of the Corybantes (q.v.). According to an ancient custom, they were always castrated (spadones, semimares, semiviri, nec viri nec feminae), and it would seem that, impelled by religious enthusiasm, they performed this operation on themselves Semivir half-man or half beast: umanly, womash, effeminate Spadons, castratus (A Cappella]

And when his wife Eurydice died, bitten by a snake, he went down to Hades, being fain to bring her up, and he [p. 19] persuaded Pluto to send her up. The god promised to do so, if on the way Orpheus would not turn round until he should be come to his own house. But he disobeyed and turning round beheld his wife; so she turned back. Orpheus also invented the mysteries of Dionysus, and having been torn in pieces by the Maenads he is buried in Pieria. [home to Orpheus and the Muses]

Thus the numbering of the people was subservient to the separation of the Levites from those Israelites who were fit for military service,

> and to the practical introduction of the law respecting the first-born,

> for whom the tribe of Levi became a substitute [Ex 13:2 Nu 3:12].

Numbers 3:5-10. Bring the tribe of Levi near--The Hebrew word "bring near" is a sacrificial term, denoting the presentation of an offering to God; and the use of the word, therefore. in connection with the Levites, signifies that they were devoted as an offering to the sanctuary, no longer to be employed in any common offices.

They were subordinate to the priests, who alone enjoyed the privilege of entering the holy place.

Josephus says that the Levites destroyed the nation.

Singers and Instrument players are also SCAPE GOATS in those assemblies sent strong delusions.
Sorcerers Pharmakos A. one sacrificed or executed as an atonement or purification for others, scapegoat, and, since criminals were reserved for this fate, a general name of reproach,

Rev. 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy SORCERIES were all nations deceived.

Greek Religion: Thargelia, when a scapegoat (pharmakos) assumed the communal guilt; and the Pyanepsia, a bean feast in which boys collected offerings to hang on the eiresione ("wool pole"). Women celebrated the Thesmophoria in honour of Demeter and commemorated the passing of Adonis with laments and miniature gardens, while images were swung from trees at the Aiora to get rid of an ancient hanging curse. Magic was widespread. Spells were inscribed on lead tablets. Statues of Hecate, goddess of witchcraft, stood outside dwellings, while Pan's image was beaten with herbs in time of meat shortage.

Adonis or Tammuz was worshipped even in the Temple by women [Ezek 8]. Pagans accepted Jesus as Adonis. Whatever the name, when you see musical "worship" imposed you know that women or the effeminate have taken over. The GOAT in the Greek world was called CAPPELLA. As Satan he is Azazel who taught makind all of the TRICKS of his trade including "mixed sex choirs, instrumental music and putting on of apparel."

The musicians CLAIM to lead you into the presence of God and therefore they ARE God's chosen vessels to pour out His wrath on the lost.

THE TRUTH THREAD FOR THE ASSEMBLY [Ekklesia]

As the "harps-like sounds" were all judgmental and prophetic of judgment, the angel to the LIVING was to "preach the gospel." Therefore, for the assembly or ekklesia the DIRECT COMMAND of Jesus is to teach His Word which is free (Isa 55) Water of the Word.
Rev. 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things
        in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,
        and the bright and morning star.

Rev. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
        And let him that heareth say, Come
        And let him that is athirst come.
        And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

In Amos and Isaiah 5 musical instruments caused the people to hunger and thiirst for the Word: they went from place to place but could not find it. As a resulted they went into captivity.

Ekklesia assembly less general than sullogos, the church. The sullogos is a meeting whether legal or riotous.

TRUTH: 2Pet. 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
LIES: 2Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

The angels or messengers send The Word of Christ (Col 3) as Spirit (Eph 5; John 6:63) word to the church: Inside are the saved but OUTSIDE are the fabricated sermons, singers and instrument players: Sorcerers.

Rev. 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

CONCLUSION: it is not remotely possible to replace the ekklesia as a School of the Bible where we teach that which has been taught AND at the same time have musical worship teams with or without instruments. Long before, while the ANTI-ekklesia people are secretly plotting and gradually imposing new styles of worship and non-sedentary women, Jesus has visited for the last time and in the words of Amos "will not pass that way again."

That means that delusional gradualism prepares people for bringing the confessedly Levitie singers and musicians into the Holy Place figurative of the Body of Christ.    They (in type) will have been executed spiritually and the candlestick of the seven spirits of Christ REMOVED.

In none of the many examples is there any grace left.

LYDUS For some time, Pistoclerus, I've been following you in silence, watching what you were doing in this dress

(110)

For, so may the Gods favour me, even Lycurgus himself seems to me as if he could be led into debauchery here. Whither now are you betaking yourself hence in an opposite direction with such a train?
PISTOCLERUS To this place (pointing to the house) .

LYDUS Why to this place? Who lives there?

PISTOCLERUS Love, Pleasure, Venus, [Lucifer, Zoe] Beauty, Joy, Jesting, Dalliance, Converse, and Sweet-kissing.

LYDUS What intercourse have you with these most destructive Deities?

PISTOCLERUS Bad are those men who speak evil of the good. You speak not well of even the Gods themselves; you do what is not right.

"Barbaro" signifies "Roman," the scene being in Attica. We learn from St. Augustine that the Potitii received the epithet of "stulti," "unwise," from the following circumstance. They were the hereditary priests of Hercules, at Rome. Wishing to lighten their duties, they instructed some slaves in their office, for which, by the wrath of the Divinity twelve families of them were destroyed in one night.

Hercules is Herakles worshipped at TYRE. See 2Maccabees to the worship in Jerusalem where the Pipers hoped to Get people (Jesus) to lament and dance the "ouchie" initiation while the clergy PIPED.

The Greeks also built one of their gymnasia (these were notorious throughout the ancient world for their association with homosexual practices) in Jerusalem, which 'attracted the noblest young men of Israel...subduing them under the petaso' (emphasis ours -- 2 Macc. 4:12). In the traditional Latin translation the above phrase is rendered 'to put in brothels' (Riley:15).

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. Riley adds,'The Jewish temple itself became the scene of pagan sacrificial meals and sexual orgies [including homosexuality].' The final insult (for which Antiochus is identified in the Bible as the archtype of the antichrist)'was the installation in the temple of a pagan symbol, possibly a representation of Zeus [Baal], called by a sardonic pun 'the abomination of desolation'' (ibid.:16).

Clement Contra Heresies.
Hercules, the son of Zeus-a true son of Zeus-was the offspring of that long night, who with hard toil accomplished the twelve labours in a long time, but in one night deflowered the fifty daughters of Thestius, and thus was at once the debaucher and the bridegroom of so many virgins.

It is not, then, without reason that the poets call him a cruel wretch and a nefarious scoundrel. It were tedious to recount his adulteries of all sorts,
and debauching of boys. For your gods did not even abstain from boys, homosexuals
one having loved Hylas, another Hyacinthus, another Pelops, another Chrysippus, and another Ganymede.

Let such gods as these be worshipped by your wives, and let them pray that their husbands be such as these-so temperate; that, emulating them in the same practices, they may be like the gods.

Such gods let your boys be trained to worship, that they may grow up to be men with the accursed likeness of fornication on them received from the gods. But it is only the male deities, perhaps, that are impetuous in sexual indulgence.

It is absolutely certain based on Jacob's prophecy, the Testament of Levi, the Tyre connection and most scholarly views that when God "turned them over to worship the starry host" (Acts 7 etal) this was the same Sabazianism followed by Egypt and the Phoenicians who invaded Tyre. Therefore, the common thread in the literature can be used to explain what historically happened for most of the history of the Temple. It will not cause harm to read what the Bible writers understood.

ALL RELIGIOUS OPERATIVES WERE CALLED PARASITES

Parasītus (parasitos, “table companion”). A word which among the Greeks denoted originally the priest's assistant, who, like the priest, received his support from the offerings made to the temple, in return for certain services. These services included the collection and care of supplies of corn due to the temple, assistance at certain sacrifices, and the preparation of the banquets connected with [p. 1175] certain festivals. The assistants of civil officials, who were maintained at the expense of the State, were also called parasites in many places. The word received another meaning in the Middle and New Greek comedy, where it means the hanger on, who plays the flatterer and buffoon, with a view to getting invited to dinner. The parasite was transferred as a standing character to the Roman imitations of Greek comedy, and figures largely in the plays of Plautus. Good examples of the stage parasite will be found in his Captivi Menaechmi Phormio of Terence.

Diskouri such as Castor and Pollux the homosexual twins and Hercules introduced homosexuality into the Abomination of Desolation.

D. Saltandum including David's Naked Dance

Hillel, Judgex 12:1

David's Praise word
2 Samuel 6. [14] David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. [15] So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

2 Samuel 6.[14] et David saltabat totis viribusanteDominum porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo [15] etDavid et omnis domus Israhel ducebant arcamtestamentiDomini in iubilo et in clangore bucinae

Sal·ta·to·ry (slt-tôr, sôl-) adj.

1. Of, relating to, or adapted for leaping or dancing.

2. Proceeding by leaps rather than by smooth, gradual transitions.

Salto Salii a salitando), āvi, ātum, 1,

I.v. freq. n. and a. [2. salio], to dance (in the widest signif. of the word, including pantomime and gesticulation;

Saltō āvī, ātus, āre, freq. [salio] , to dance: in convivio saltare nudus coeperat: dancing a girl's part, tibicina a female flute player.

Tertullian: certainly you will not regard with approval those efforts after an artificial body which aim at surpassing the Creator's work;

Salax

I. Fond of leaping, esp. of male animals, lustful, lecherous, salacious: galli, .--Vulgarly applied to Priapus: deus, Auct. Priap. 14, 1; 34, 1; and sarcastically: salacissimus Jupiter, II. Poet. transf., that provokes lust, provocative

"The ritual dance was probably widespread in the ancient East. David's performance has Egyptian parallels. Seti I, the father of Rameses II, and three other Pharaohs are said to have danced before a deity, and Asiatic monuments attest the custom elsewhere... The description of David's dance: he 'danced before Jehovah with all his might... leaping and dancing before Jeh' (2 S 6: 14-16) suggests three features that particular display and the mode of dancing which it represented: violent exertion, leaping (Mephassez) and whirling round (mekharker) . Perhaps the whirling dance of Islam is a modern parallel to the last." (Int Std Bible Ency., Games, p. 1170).

E. Cĭncĭnaedus = kinaidos. I. He who practises unnatural lust, a sodomite, catamite, carmen, i. e. an incantation, burdensome.

Mollis 2. In a bad sense, soft, effeminate, unmanly, weak (syn. effeminatus): philosophus tam mollis, tam languidus, tam enervatus: Sabaei, Verg. G. 1, 57 : viri molles, i. e. pathici, Liv. 33, 28 ; Sen. Ep. 87: disciplina, effeminate, Cic. Fin. 1, 11, 37 : delicatior

Sabaeus adj., Sabaios, Sabaean,
Iamblichus III. Of the Greek Eleusinian: Thus "Bacchus was directly called upon," he says. The Sabazian worship was Sabbatic; the names Evius, or Hevius, and Luaios are identical with Hivite and Levite. The French name Louis is the Hebrew Levi; Iacchus again is Iao or Jehovah; and Baal or Adon, like Bacchus, was a phallic god.

The Hebrew Kadeshim or galli lived "by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove," or bust of Venus-Astarte, says verse the seventh in the twenty-third chapter of 2 Kings.

The dance performed by David round the ark was the "circle-dance" said to have been prescribed by the Amazons for the Mysteries. Such was the dance of the daughters of Shiloh (Judges xxi. 21, 23 et passim), and the leaping of the prophets of Baal (I Kings xviii. 26). It was simply a characteristic of the Sabean worship, for it denoted the motion of the planets round the sun.

The bacchant worship as one of the sects outlawed in Romans 14 were also outlawed by the Civil government. Livy notes:

First, then, a great part of them are women, and this was the source of the evil; the rest are males, but nearly resembling women; actors and pathics in the vilest lewdness; night revelers, driven frantic by wine, noises of instruments, and clamors.

The conspiracy, as yet, has no strength; but it has abundant means of acquiring strength, for they are becoming more numerous every day.

Your ancestors would not allow that you should ever assemble casually, without some good reason; that is, either when the standard was erected on the Janiculum, and the army led out on occasion of elections; or when the tribunes proclaimed a meeting of the plebeians, or some of the magistrates summoned you to it.

When any person was introduced he was delivered as a victim to the priests, who led him away to a place

resounding with shouts, the sound of music, and the beating of cymbals and drums, lest his cries, while suffering violation, should be heard abroad."

She then entreated and besought him to put an end to that matter in some way or other; and not to plunge himself into a situation, where he must first suffer, and afterwards commit, every thing that was abominable. Nor did she quit him until the young man gave her his promise to keep himself clear of those rites.

Jesus said that God can only be worshipped in the PLACE of our human spirit as we give heed to the Spirit OF Truth which is the Word of God. Otherwise, if you fall into ceremonial legalism using the effeminate Levitical falsettos, you will invite the Cynics or dogs into your assembly: the same WOLVES or pederasts Paul warned about in Acts 20.

Phil. 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Phil. 3:3 For we are the circumcision,
        which worship God IN the spirit,
        and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
        and have no confidence in the flesh.
Phil. 3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh.
        If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
Worship IN the Flesh as opposed to IN the Spirit means that the spirit is a PLACE: we do not let the dogs or cynics in with their "old style praise howling" seeking whom they might devour.

F. What the clergy class hoped John and Jesus would do.

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? Luke 7:31

They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. Luke 7:32

Sportive is what the clergy wanted Jesus to do when they piped:

Paig-ma , atos, to,

A.play, sport, lôtoshotan . . paigmatabremêi whene'er the pipe sounds its sportive strains, E.Ba.161(lyr.); Ludia p. luras [lyree]

Plautus, Aulularia
EUCLIO (to himself) It wasn't for nothing that the raven was just now croaking on my left hand; he was both scratching the ground with his feet and croaking with his voice. At once my heart began to jump about

(626)

, and to leap within my breast. But why do I delay to run?

On my left hand: We cannot fail to remember here the exactly similar expression of Gay, in the fable of the Farmer's Wife and the Raven:

That raven on yon left-hand oak
(Curse on his ill-betiding croak!)
Bodes me no good.

Began to jump about: "Ars ludicra" here means "the art of a 'ludius,' or stage-player," who moves to and fro and gesticulates-hence "cor cœpit artem facere ludicram" would strictly mean "my heart begins to move to and fro like a play-actor."

Note 1. E.Ba.16 Euripides Bacchae
Chorus
[135] He is sweet in the mountains, whenever after the running dance he falls on the ground, wearing the sacred garment of fawn skin, hunting the blood of the slain goat, a raw-eaten delight, rushing to the [140] Phrygian, the Lydian mountains, and the leader of the dance is Bromius, evoe! The plain flows with milk, it flows with wine, it flows with the nectar of bees. [145] The Bacchic one, raising the flaming torch of pine on his thyrsos, like the smoke of Syrian incense, darts about, arousing the wanderers with his racing and dancing, agitating them with his shouts, [150] casting his rich locks into the air. And among the Maenad cries his voice rings deep: “Go, Bacchae, go, Bacchae, with the luxury of Tmolus that flows with gold, [155] sing of Dionysus, beneath the heavy beat of drums, celebrating in delight the god of delight with Phrygian shouts and cries, [160] when the sweet-sounding sacred pipe sounds a sacred playful tune suited [165] to the wanderers, to the mountain, to the mountain!” And the Bacchante, rejoicing like a foal with its grazing mother, rouses her swift foot in a gamboling dance

AGAIN ABOUT THE LEVITES

While the Levites were of the tribe of Levi the name is connected to the worship of Dionysus--the new wineskin god--in Egypt. Because musical idolatry caused God to turn them over to worship the starry host the worship was that which they had practiced for their 430 years in Egypt where they did not follow Jehovah.

Gen. 49:6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret;
unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united:
for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

The secret is 5475. cowd, sode; from 3245; a session, i.e. company of persons (in close deliberation); by implication, intimacy, consultation, a secret:-assembly, consel, inward, secret (counsel)

Dunlap, in his introduction to "Sod, the Mysteries of Adonis," explains the word "Sod" as arcanum, religious mystery, on the authority of Schindler's "Penteglott." "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him," says Psalm xxv., 14. This is a mistranslation of the Christians, for it ought to read "Sod Ihoh (the mysteries of Ihoh) are for those who fear him" (Dunlap, "Mysteries of Adonis," xi). "Al (El) is terrible in the great Sod of the Kadeshim (the priests, the holy, the Initiated), Psalm lxxxix, 7" (ibid.). The Kadeshim were very far from holy. (Vide Part II., "The Holy of Holies.")

You can see more of this in the women's worship of Tammuz while the men held a Sun Rise service to their sun god in Ezekiel who also identifies the speakers, singers and instrument players as hypocrites.

WHAT THE JEWS AND ALL STUDENTS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT EASILY UNDERSTAND.

Under "Star Worship" the Jewish Encyclopedia states:

"Star Worship" is perhaps the oldest form of idolatry practiced by the ancients. The observation of the stars in the East very early led the people to regard the planets and the fixed stars as gods. The religion of the ancient Egyptians is known to have consisted preeminently of Sun-worship. Moses sternly warned the Israelites against worshipping the Sun, Moon, stars, and all the hosts of heaven (Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:3). The Israelites fell into this kind of idolatry and as early as the time of Amos they had the images of Siccuth and Chium, 'the stars of their god' (Amos 5:26); the latter name is generally supposed to denote the planet Saturn. That the Kingdom of Israel fell earlier than that of Judah is stated (II Kings 17:16) to have been due, among other causes, to its worshipping the host of heaven.

But the Kingdom of Judah in its later period seems to have outdone the Northern Kingdom [Israel] in star-worship." Of Manasseh it is related that he built altars to all the hosts of heaven in the two courts of the house of YHWY, and it seems it was the practice of even Kings before him to appoint priests who offered sacrifices to the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and all the hosts of heaven. Altars for star-worship were built on the roofs of the houses, and horses and chariots were dedicated to the worship of the Sun. (II Kings 21:5; 23:4-5, 11-12) Star-worship continued in Judah until the 18th year of Josiah's reign (621 B.C.) when the King took measures to abolish all kinds of idolatry. But although star-worship was then abolished as a public cult, it was practiced privately by individuals who worshipped the heavenly bodies, and poured out libations to them on the roofs of their houses (Zephaniah 1:5; Jeremiah 8:2; 19:13) Jeremiah, who prophesied in the sixth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin (591 B.C.) describes the worship of the Sun as practiced in the court of the Temple (Ezekiel 8:16) and that even after the destruction of the Temple the women insisted on continuing to worship the Queen of Heaven.

"The ancient Hebrews, being nomads like the Arabs, favored the Moon, while the Babylonians, who were an agricultural nation, preferred the Sun. But, as appears from Ezekiel 20:7-8 the Moon-worship of the Israelites, even while they were still in Egypt was combined with Sun-worship."

How could those promoting paganism have missed Acts 7:

Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

Because God had abandoned the nation to become a Goyim or Gentile-like nation it is reasonable that many ancient views of the temple were actually ziggurats.

These were the mysteries of Baal, Adonis and Bacchus, who were all sun-gods and had serpents for symbols. This was the basis of the Sabbath as a day of WORSHIP as opposed to an imposed rest to keep people from attending the Levites worship services derived from Babylon and Egypt.

Hislop notes that The "worship leaders" were the Nâgals and Nârgals from India and the Indian Nâgas the American Nâgals. The Nârgal was the Chaldean and Assyrian chief of the Magi (Rab-Mag), and the Nâgal was the chief sorcerer of the Mexican Indians. Both derive their names from Nergal-Serezer, the Assyrian god, and the Hindu Nâgas. Both have the same faculties and the power to have an attendant dæmon, with whom they identify themselves completely. The Chaldean and Assyrian Nârgal kept his dæmon, in the shape of some animal considered sacred, inside the temple

The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Serpent Worship.
"Traces of this superstition are thought by certain critics to be discoverable in the religion of Israel. Stade mentions that W. R. Smith supposed the serpent to be the totem of the house of David (Geschichte, I, 465). H. P. Smith says: "We know of a Serpent's Stone near Jerusalem, which was the site of a sanctuary (1 Kings 1:9), and this sanctuary was dedicated to Yahweh" (Hist of Old Testament, 239, 240). Special reliance is placed on the narrative of the brazen serpent, which Hezekiah is recorded to have destroyed as leading to idolatry, (2 Kings 18:4). "In that case," says H. P. Smith, "we must treat the Nehushtan as a veritable idol of the house of Israel, which had been worshipped in the temple from the time of its erection. Serpent worship is so widespread that we should be surprised not to find traces of it in Israel" (ut supra). In the same line, see G. B. Gray, Nu, 275-76. The fancifulness of these deductions is obvious. See NEHUSHTAN. James Orr

The TWO THREADS are detailed from Genesis to Revelation is a "historical record of the great struggle between white and black magic:
Between the Prophets who were knowledgeable and of the RIGHT PATH
and the LEFT PATH, the Levites, the clergy of the brutal masses.

That there were two schools of Magic, and that the orthodox Levites did not belong to the holy one, is shown in the words pronounced by the dying Jacob.

The temple dedication by Solomon and the Civil-Clergy-Complex REMOVED the Ark of the Covenant in the tent God permitted David to a HOUSE which Solomon assumed to be a pagan-like temple and not a house or family. This and other loud noise connected with "silencing the lambs before the slaughter"--as they repeated with Jesus--is never called "music." The clear message is that almost no one could "come before the throne" typified by the Ark of the Covenant. Any Levitical singer or instrument player who came near any holy thing would be put to death. Here is the teachings spread by the NACC as a foundation upon which to build ecumenical unity. However, the unity if based on restoring "music" which in Solomon's Temple Dedication filled the temple with a cloud which prevented the spiritual people from having symbolic access to God's presence, His mercy and His Word once hidden in the Ark of the covenant. The Israelites had come to believe that God literally dwelled on the throne and therefore it became an idol in the Cella or most holy place quite identical to Hiram's Temple at Tyre.
David Faust: I . In the Old Testament the Lord didn't merely "permit" the use of musical instruments as aids to worship. He commanded their use. 2. In the old Testament the Lord didn't merely "permit' the use of musical instruments as aids to worship. He blessed their use. Second Chronicles 5:14 adds an important point about the dedication of the temple. After the instrumentalists and the singers joined together in united praise to the Lord, the next verse says, "Then the temple of the Lord was filled with a cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God" God's "glory" in the form of a cloud was an expression of God's joy, pleasure, approval, and delight. God was making known His presence in a very intense and powerfful way. The people not only honored the Lord as they played instruments and sang together, but they did so withh God's full and hearty approval. The Lord didn't just put up with the use of musical instruments; He smiled upon it, and expressed great delight and pleasure in the way His people praised Him through a combination of singing an instrumental accompaniment You may listen to ALL of the allowed MUSIC by Clicking Here.

It means to "surround with a stokade, and thus separate from the open country. That was the signal that NO citizen quarantined to the synagogue had better be INSIDE CAMP. Paul said that if we want to find Jesus we have to go OUTSIDE THE CAMP where the spiritual people attended synagogue, ekklesia or school of the Bible There was no "singing with instrumental accompaniment": the SINGERS made ONE SOUND which is: 6963. qowl, kole; kole; from an unused root meaning to call aloud; a voice or sound, aloud, bleating, crackling, cry (+ out), fame, lightness, lowing, noise, + hold peace, (pro-) claim, proclamation, + sing, sound, + spark, thunder(-ing), voice, + yell We learn from the Mishna and the Talmud that in the Hellenistic period no improvements or modifications that might affect the tone were permitted: no gold-plating of its interior, no plugging of holes, no alteration of its length (the minimum permissible length of a ritually approved horn was 3 handbreadths); the shofar tone was to be preserved unaltered. Nor was the process of steaming or boiling permitted. Apart from its liturgical uses the shofar was closely connected with magical symbolism. Its blast destroyed the walls of Jericho, and in the Dead Sea scrolls we read that during battles shofar blowers sounded a powerful war cry to instill fear into the hearts of the enemy while priests blew the six trumpets of killing. Historically the shofar has also served in a number of popular usages: it was sounded during rites to bring rain, in the event of local disasters, and so on. In our times its liturgical use is restricted to New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). See Photos HERE. "Only in Ps 150:3 is it (shophar) mentioned with most of the other really musical instruments. Hence, we must conclude that the function of the shophar was to make noise--be it of earthly or of eschatological character--but not to make music. After the destruction of the temple and the general banishment of all instrumental music, the shophar alone survived, just because it was not a musical instrument."(International Dictionary of the Bible, p. 473, Abingdon). By missing Acts 7 and much of the Old Testament the foundation of ceremonial legalism misses the fact that: God promised David a TENT when he could not go before God at Gibeon. BUT, Solomon built God a HOUSE BUT, God does not dwell in or can be worshipped in houses built by hands, not can He be worshipped with the WORKS of human hands of which music is DEFINED as hard work and not even art. All those OF TRUTH!
GOD SHUT OFF ACCESS TO HIM until they turned, converted or were baptized into Christ (2 Cor. 3) 6049. anan, aw-nan´; a primitive root; to cover; used only as a denominative from 6051, to cloud over; figuratively, to act covertly, i.e. practise magic: bring, enchanter, Meonemin, observe(-r of) times, soothsayer, sorcerer.

God's glory FILLED the house with a CLOUD: h6051 The cloud symbolized God's presence but the PEOPLE were not permitted to "come boldly before the Throne room." Ezek. 30:18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. Ezek. 30:19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD. Hos. 6:4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. Hos. 6:5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. Hos. 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. The Veil (Vail) which cut off access to God, His mercy and His Word is the Hebrew: 6531. perek, peh´-rek; from an unused root meaning to break apart; fracture, i.e. severity: cruelty, rigour. 6532. poreketh, po-reh´-keth; feminine active participle of the same as 6531; a separatrix, i.e. (the sacred) screen:--vail. We know that the Levites, the names of their instruments, the style of their performance and dress was the EFFEMINATE dress of Dionysus where males could be the "musical worship team" but they had to be effeminate as Paul hoped that the concision would let the knift slip and castrate themselves. All ye beasts (merry congregation, or multitude, singing and dancing) of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. Isaiah 56:9 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs (keleb = male prostitutes), they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Isaiah 56: 10 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

We therefore adopt Perret- Gentil's rendering, chant avec voix de femmes, and still more readily Armand de Mestral's, en soprano; whereas Melissus' rendering, "upon musical instruments called Alamoth (the Germans would say, upon the virginal)," has nothing to commend it
