Apollyon

is the king of the LOCUSTS or MUSES.

Plato Laws 2: music and dance from animal and
children's play. Music from Apollo or Apollyon or
Abbadon Written 360 B.C.E
Apollo or Apollyon or Abbadon is the
God of music and father of the Seeker Center form of
"religion." The Bible identifies this as spiritual
adultery. He is certainly rising with a flourish as we
watch.

POLITICAL SWAMP PEOPLE IN A HISTORIC TRIBULATION.
John.
T. Willis said that MELODY demands Musical instruments.
Any literate Bible reader knows that the sounds of
musical instruments as "machines for doing hard work:
1. Silencing the Word
of God by inducing KOMA or making the lambs dumb before
the slaughter.
Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levites
made noise in the HOLOCAUST of Goats or
Children. Apostates think that if we no longer burn
goats of infants the INSTRUMENTAL NOISE is still the
PATTERN for MOCKING Jesus in so-called Worship
observations to which the kingdom DOES NOT COME
.
2. Instrumental noise--never called
music--was also the MARK of BEING
CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
Because from Revelation 18 it is the way to dispose
of SORCERERS.
The
command is to SPEAK that which is written for our
learning. Thosee whom God has strongly deluded literaly
read that Paul commanded SINGING Psalms, hymns and
Spiritual songs.
Vocal or Instrumental Psallo
is NOT Psallō IN THE HEART
or SILENT. The Key factor in the Christian Assembly
is that both male and female remain silent "so that
we might all come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH or the
Word of God.
Religious Music was performed by WOMEN or
EFFEMINATE Males. They both thought that
their condition and public persona proved that they
spoke for the "gods." Paul then rebuffs all
mediators in song and sermon but the READER
because:
1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD
and one
mediator between God and men,
the MAN
Christ Jesus;
Paul prevents and outbreak of WRATH or an ORGY

Saltatio Dancing was originally closely connected
with religion. Plato thought all dancing should be
based on religion, as it was, he says, among the
Egyptians. It has been shown under Chorus
that the chorus in the oldest times consisted of the
whole population of a city, who met in a public
place to offer up thanksgivings to the god of their
country by singing hymns and performing dances.
These dances, which, like all others, were
accompanied by music,
The EPHOD worn by David when he went NUDO
In
that regard, epic's position is parallel to that
of rhetoric. Beginning with Aristotle's Rhetorica (1404a), [Mike
Cope The Hieros Gamos]
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.
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.
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.
But this
fact does not justify degeneration into sing-song
or the effeminate modulations now in vogue. There is an
excellent saying on this point attributed
to Gaius Caesar while he was still a boy:
"If you
are singing, you sing badly; if you
are reading, you sing."

these bands are all the gamblers,
all the

citizens.
These boys, so witty
and delicate,
have learnt not only to
love and to be loved,
not only to sing and to
dance,
but also to brandish daggers and to
administer poisons;
and unless
they are driven out,
unless they
die, even should Catiline die,
I warn
you that the school of Catiline would exist in
the republic.
But what do those wretches want?
Are they going to take their wives with them to
the camp? how can they do without them, especially
in these nights? and how will they endure the Apennines,
and these frosts, and this snow?
unless they think that they will bear the winter
more easily

they have been in the habit of dancing naked at
their feasts. O

yet a boy, he was remarkable for his noble
endowments both of body and mind; and as he
advanced in years, they became still more
conspicuous.
He had a fine person, combining
an equal mixture of majesty and grace;
was very strong, though not
tall, and somewhat corpulent.
Gifted with an excellent memory,
and a capacity for all the arts of peace
and war; he was a perfect master of the use of
arms and riding; very ready in the Latin and Greek
tongues,
both in
verse and prose; and such was the facility
he possessed in both,
that he would harangue and VERSIFY
extempore.
Nor was he
unacquainted with MUSIC,
but could both SING and
PLAY upon the HARP sweetly and
scientifically.
I have likewise been informed
by many persons,
that he was remarkably quick in
writing short-hand,
would in
merriment and jest engage with his secretaries
in the imitation of any
hand-writing he saw, and often say, "
that he was admirably qualified for forgery."

power to persuade, the end of oratory, which
we are discussing, cannot adequately be
defined as persuasion.

number of those ladies was Sempronia, a
woman who had committed many crimes with the
spirit of a man. In birth and beauty, in
her husband and her children, she was extremely
fortunate;
she was skilled in Greek and
Roman literature;
she could sing, play, and
dance, *
with greater elegance than became a woman
of virtue,
and possessed many other
accomplishments that tend to excite the
passions. But nothing was ever less
valued by her than honor or chastity. Whether she
was more prodigal of her money or her reputation,
it would have been difficult to decide. Her
desires were so ardent that she oftener made
advances to the other sex than waited for
solicitation. She had frequently, before
this period, forfeited her word, forsworn debts,
been privy to murder, and hurried into the utmost
excesses by her extravagance and poverty. But her
abilities were by no means despicable; she could compose
verses, jest, and join in conversation either
modest, tender, or licentious. In a word,
she was distinguished by much refinement of wit,
and much grace of expression.
* Sing, play,
and dance] Psallere, saltare. As psallo signifies
both to play on a musical
instrument,
and to sing to it while
playing, I have thought it necessary to give
both senses in the translation.

wanted to speak in their own tongue or MINOR

they should keep silent.

gave His promise only to those who
were not tardy-doubters:

John 20:22 And
when he had said this, he breathed

Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came.

20:29 Jesus saith unto him,
Thomas, because thou hast seen
me,

hast believed: blessed are they
that have not seen, and yet have

20:30 And many other signs truly
did Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written
in this book:

John
T. Willis Women as Worship leaders (considering

at Highland.) John T. Willis
nor any of the lookalikes understand
that Paul silences MEN AND WOMEN so that "everyone can be
saved and come to a knowledge of the
Truth. The direct command from the wilderness onward was to
PREACH the Word by READING the Word on the
REST days. Rest from the
laded burdens means the "arousal songs" of
the Scribes and Pharisees whom Jesus called
hypocrites. In Ezekiel 33 the Spirit
OF Christ Who does not live in Abilene
identified self-speakers, singers and
instrument players. Anyone who
attended the calls to assembly were also
called hypocrites because the instrumental
PATTERN meant that no one intended to let
the Word of God have any effect on the
people. The Word as Dabar or Logos is the
Regulative Principle: it is opposite of any
cute self-reference from a prancing
preacher, singing, poetry or playing instruments.
THE SPIRIT
OF CHRIST DEFINED THE
MARKS OF IDOLATERS and SORCERERS IN
ISAIAH 8. There is no Biblical or
other
historic exception
to the rule that Religious
Teknocrats (craftsmen, sophist) are
Purpose Driven to use
mechanical machines to
induce soothsaying (Miriam and the
Levites) which is also
sorcery (the lusted
after fruits in
Revelation 18 as ministers
of the Babylon mother
of harlots."
Isa 8:19And when
they shall say unto you,
Seek unto them that have familiar spirits,
and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter:
should not a people seek unto
their God?
for the living
to the dead?
Revised 5.17.13 Neither
ANTI-instrumental
hermeneuts nor the ANTI-anti-instrumentalists
deny the Biblical, historical and the Campbell teaching that
Qahal, synagogue, ekklesia or Church of Christ (the Rock) is A
School of Christ or A School of the Word of Christ.
Singing as an ACT (that legalism word) was first imposed in
the year 373: Strong Delusions and Lying Wonders
define the doctors of the Law whom Jesus said "take away the
key to knowledge." Jesus defines their METHOD by calling the
Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. In the Ezekiel 33
version the Spirit OF Christ named self-speakers, singers
and instrument players. A hypocrite in the texts
points exclusively to religious performers.

Strabo Geography
[-10.3.10]
And on this account Plato, and even before his
time the Pythagoreians, called philosophy music; and
they say that
the universe is constituted in accordance with harmony,
assuming that every form of
music is the work of the gods.
And in this sense, also, the Muses are
goddesses,
and Apollo is leader of the Muses,
and poetry as a whole is laudatory of the
gods.
And by the same
course of reasoning they also attribute to music
the upbuilding
of morals, believing that everything which
tends to correct the mind is close to the gods.
Now most of the
Greeks assigned to Dionysus, Apollo, Hecate, the
Muses (9 women team), and
above all to Demeter, everything of an orgiastic or Bacchic or choral nature, as well as the
mystic element in initiations; and they give the
name "Iacchus" not only to
Dionysus but also to the leader-in-chief of the
mysteries, who is the genius of Demeter.

The CENI is defined by the Spirit OF Christ
in the Wilderness and in the Prophets and prophecies made more
certain by Jesus. The Apostles were eye-- and
ear--witnesses of the risen Lord Who returned as The Holy
Spirit (breath, wind) in the upper room. They mark as false
teachers anyone who does not teach that PATTERN of foundation
which the Hermeneuts deny exists.
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped
him: but some doubted.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew
28:20
Acts 15:21 For Moses
of old time hath
in every city them
that preach him,
being read in
the synagogues every sabbath day
Paul commanded that we SPEAK that which is written for our
learning (Romans 15). He also commanded that we fill up
with SPIRIT (Word in Col 3:16) and Teach and Admonish with the
Biblical material which includes "teaching psalms." This is in
contrast to the drinking songs of the crooked race of the
symposia where the goal was to become "fluted down with wine."
Both singing in the pagan sense and beating on "instruments
of delusion" was worship IN THE FLESH which Paul rejects in
Philippians 3 because it permitted the "conscision or dogs" to
destroy the rest Jesus died to give us from the laded burdens
of the arousal songs by Jews or Gentiles.
In contrast, if you use one mind and one mouth to speak that
which is written for our learning you MUST keep the arousal
singing and beating on instruments quiet and permit melody (or
grace) to be IN the heart where grace means the divine
influence of the GRACE which hath appeared teaching us to DENY
the world's religions.

Republic [398a]
who was capable by his cunning of assuming every
kind of shape and imitating all things should arrive
in our city, bringing with himself the poems
which he wished to exhibit, we should fall
down and worship him as a holy and wondrous and
delightful creature, but should say to him that
there is no man of that kind among us in our city,
nor is it lawful for such a man to arise among us,
and we should send him away to another city, after
pouring myrrh down over his head and crowning
him with fillets of wool,
The idea suggested by proskunoimen
and hieron,
that the poet
is a sort of theos or theios [god or goddess] anēr, is now
elaborated with ironical politeness. The
images of the gods were anointed, and
crowned with garlands, not only on great occasions
(cf. Cic. Verr. IV 77), but also at other
times, according to Proclus, who remarks on this
passage muron autēs (sc. tēs poiētikēs)
...Apropos of the present passage, Dio Chrysostom
and other ancient writers cited by Ast refer to
the anointing of swallows by Greek women:
kai keleuei mala eirōnikōs (so Ast:

53 p. 276 ed. Reiske). To this custom Ast supposes
that Plato is alluding, the poets
being as it were faithless and garrulous
swallows (cf. khelidonōn mouseia), as
well as to the Pythagorean precept not to
admit swallows into the house

the will of the immortals [60] to make a noble
man, even when dead, a theme for the hymns of
goddesses; and even now this brings up a subject
for words, and the Muses' chariot rushes forward
to shout praises in memory of Nicocles the boxer.
Honor him, who won the garland of wild Dorian
celery in the Isthmian valley; since [65] he too
was once victorious over all that lived around
him, battering them with his inescapable hands. He
is not dishonored by the offspring of his father's
distinguished brother. Therefore let another young
man weave for Cleandros a garland of tender myrtle
in honor of the pancratium, since the contest of
Alcathous and the young men of Epidaurus welcomed
him before in his success. A good man may praise

Rev. 2.09.13 The Book of Revelation only blesses
you when you READ it: reading or hearing the Word is the Christ
Ordained pattern beginning with the church in the Wilderness.
History only continues to be real when you read it.
While none of it is metrical and you cannot "sing" it or use it
to "make music". the Jews added accent points to the reading
(speaking) to make certain that no one in the future could add
their own comments or uhs and ahs and I think.
Pepperdine/NACC Christian
Worship Depicted in Revelation?
The sounds above Zion (the church) in prophetic
types by Christ and in final warning in Revelation are signs
to MARK AND AVOID those who have had their candlestick removed
and ABANDONED to the worship of the COSMIC or Creature which
is well recorded as instrumental idolatry at Mount Sinai. The
next event will be Cast Alive into the Lake of Fire for taking
the mark (mind control) of the Beasts (a new style of music
and drama claiming to lead you into the presence of God.)
The
NACC 2013 Victorious lectureship uses the same BOOK OF
REVELATION and some of the same speakers.
Since Richard Hughes now gets his data direct through Spiritual
Formation (witchcraft) and others seem to deliberately violate
the text (the holiness of sin a turn of the century thingy) it
is predictable that the very passages they cover are exactly the
ones promising to cast alive into the lake of fire the
Sorcerers--self-speakers, singers, instruments and craftsmen
inluding ALL of the STAFF invasion.

RICK ATCHLEY Etal handled by David
Faust finally confesses
Rick
Atchley: The era of the progressive
Church of Christ is over.
Well, we discipled the children of those
progressive churches
for a whole generation to grow past us Boomers.
They never heard the sermons we heard.
They never heard the rationale for a cappella
music.
We sent them to youth
rallies and Church of Christ events
with some of the finest Christian bands in
the world.
We discipled our children
to leave our Movement!
Since Ken
Cukrowski and Elaine Heath used so often are calling for the
FALLING OF A HOLY FIRE these assemblies are
PROMISED it in Revelation and this would be a good year to have
the TWO WITNESSESS--the Prophets and Apostles--come alive just
in time we can shout Hallelujah!
as:
Revelation 19:3NIV And
again they shouted:
Hallelujah!
The smoke
from her goes up for ever and ever.
Isaiah and John reserved that for the Viper Race or Crooked
Race
We understand that believing in the 'postmodern' prank
there is no pretense to teaching the text as it has been taught.
When people betray the first Writer and began to fracture it
into songs and sermons the text becomes myth and the seduced
generation cannot understand the difference between the myths of
the preacher and singers and the Word of God. Therefore,
while the theologians and book writers (Pharisees and Scribes)
speak only to those with no God-given role and no God-given dole
as the MANY, the FEW will stay in the shelter of truth until the
storm blows over.
As a foundation to understand that no once-Bible college has or
can remain faithful to it's fleeced owners, the FEW should
understand that the MANY will always speak on their own and
pretend that they have never read anything beyond the sacred
pages of other "scholars" to defend their career path.
Arnobius
Against the Heathen Book I
"Nay, rather, to speak out more truly, the augurs, the dream interpreters, the soothsayers, the prophets, and the priestlings, ever vain, have devised these fables;
for they, fearing that their own arts be
brought to nought,
and that they may extort but scanty
contributions from the devotees, now few and infrequent,
whenever they have found you to be willing
........ that their craft should come into disrepute,
........ cry aloud, the Gods are neglected,
........ and in the temples there is now a very
thin attendance.
For ceremonies are exposed to
derision,
........and the time-honoured rites of
institutions once sacred
........
........have
sunk before the superstitions of new
religions.
And men--a senseless
race--being unable, from their inborn blindness, to see even that which is
placed in open light,
dare to assert in
their frenzy what you in your sane mind do not blush
to believes." (Arnobius, Against the Heathen,
Ante-Nicene Fathers, VI, p. 418).

Mike
Cope Women Worship Leaders
- Why not grasp that Jesus said that doctors of the
Law take away the Key to Knowledge
- He called the Scribes and Pharisees (writers and
rhetoricians), hypocrites. In Isaiah 6 and
especially Ezekiel 33 the Spirit OF Christ named
entertainment preachers, singers and instrument players.
This was the MARK of those who have no intention of
being Disciples through the Word.
- In the prophets Christ warns about "the lying
pen of the Scribes." Most on the doctoral
level have had to subscribe to the pattern that when God
abandoned Israel to the worship of the starry host "a"
spirit told them that God commanded THEM to promote
Levites as Soothsayers or Sorcerers with instruments to
ward off any godly person,.
The
scholars missed the Qahal, synagogue or Church of
Christ in the wilderness which defined:
Inclusive of Rest, Reading
and Rehearsing the Word
Exclusive of vocal or instrumental
rejoicing including slick
preaching.
The Jacob-Cursed tribe of Levi
was assigned to the worship of the starry host
which Mike etal use as a "spirit assigned" pattern.
Theologians are
not likely to be Bible Students: The Spirit OF Christ in the prophets (only) repudiates the
Civil-Military-Clergy complex as parasites and
robbers. God had abandoned them to Babylonianism
because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. For Bible
disciples I will post some Revelation from the "olden" Bible.

Conversation with Rick Atchley
Doctors of the Law "take away the key to knowledge" says
Jesus. That is why God sends strong delusions to those who
do not defend the Word they are waged to teach. Strong
Delusions are marked by Lying Wonders which are the performing
ARTISTS such as rhetoricians, singers and instrument
players. Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees (the
occupational class) hypocrites: in Ezekiel 33 the Spirit OF
Christ named speakers, singers and instrument players. These are
specificially the ones called to what Ezekiel called "workshops
of evil" where prophesiers go to steal words one from another.
In the face of the greatest sowing of discord (counting
numbers) the Church has known, Rick Atchley is called in to
speak on the Book of Revelation: Mike is also focused on
the book:
Annie notes: Rick Atchley will sjpeak at Pepperdine on the
7 churches and all of Revelation.
Matt Dabbs notes: I hope
you stick with your game plan you laid out in the video. I
agree 100% when Rick says it is about the beginning of new
things. Rev 21:5 is probably my favorite verse in the whole
Bible Behold, I am making everything new! I love
that. It just gives me chills. He doesnt say he is going to
but that he is in the process of doing it right now.
You will not hear that the
beginning of NEW things absolutely OMITS
the Abominable, the Sorcerers and the Dogs:
these will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire. The
watching world is embarrassed at the New Style Worship
replacing the School of the Word and "teaching our youth
to leave our movement" is treachery and will soon come to
a sudden end. Whether real or virtual, the watching
"audiences" are troubled enough to flee church, friend and
family. I will quote what a disciple of the first
century would understand. Because I am not waged and have
recorded history to appeal to, I don't have to prove
anything: those who give themselves "grace" to sow discord
have the burden to prove that John was not testifying of
the horrors of his own and coming terror.
Since quoting real Bible is not allowed, I will post several
research articles between now and the next lectureship: it is
the habit of "scholars" to quote short passages and then fill
in a long story based on their own "spirit." Any student
can connect the dots and understand that making ALL THINGS NEW
does not authorize these men to invent an IMPROVED patternism
for the church. Instead, Revelation 21 specificially
EXCLUDES those always identified as hypocrites or PERFORMING
CRAFTSMEN Scripture and recorded history names a SORCERERS and
excludes from even polite civil society.
Revelation first speaks of the Spiritual Kingdom or New
Jerusalem in heaven. Jesus said DON'T GO OUT to the lectureships
where people get paid to tell you they have the kingdom.
God translates saved spirits into a heavenly kingdom and the
earthly counterpart is a SAFE HOUSE to protect the godly FROM
the laded burdens and burden laders. Jesus said that the
kingdom does not come with observation: that means Religious
Observations the end-time church is falling into.
ALL LECTURSHIP GROUPIES HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF PREVENTING
CHRIST FROM LIBERTY FROM THEM.

delusions.
Churches of Christ are Safe Houses to keep God's people
SAFE from those BLOWING winds of change as their destined task.
Dwelling: 168. ohel,

Assembly: 4744. miqra,

meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal: assembly, calling, convocation,

Christ, the Rock, ordained the Qahal,
Synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness. The
godly people were never called out of their REST except to
assemble loacally to Read and Rehears the Word of
God. The Campbell's knew that:
Church is A school of Christ
Worship is Reading and Musing the Word.
You cannot go beyond that without "making the lambs dumb
before the slaughter"--the meaning of mustery or
music. That is why there is not a command, example
or remote inference for godly people to assemble for
congregational singing with or without instruments.

SECURITY AGAINST THOSE WHO ABSCOUND WITH YOUR CHURCH
-Aristotle Poetics [941b] if convicted. Theft of property is uncivilized,
open robbery
is shameless: neither of these has any of
the sons of Zeus practiced,
through delight in
fraud or force.
Let no man,
therefore, be deluded concerning this or persuaded
either by poets or by any perverse myth-mongers into the belief that,
when he thieves or forcibly robs
(churches), he is doing nothing shameful,
but just what the gods
themselves do.1
That is both unlikely and untrue;
and whoever acts thus unlawfully is neither
a god at all nor a child of gods;

Rick Atchley claims that "a spirit" told him to preach
the sermons leading to adding religious performers in the
so-called worship services. The Spirit OF Christ who inspired
the prophets said that hypocrites were rhetoricians, singers
and instrument players. Jesus quoted Ezekiel 33 to mark
the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites. These are the ones
SELLING the product of the "doctors of the law." Jesus
said that they take away the key to knowledge. That is
their professionn: that is what they do.
Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis
write;
These things saith he
that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the
seven stars;
I know thy works, that
thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
The Seven Spirits of God would rest on the man Jesus of
Nazareth: God made Him to be both Lord and Christ and Grace
and Word and Righteousness. Pseudo-scholars are left
with absolutely no words to add says Christ in Isaiah 58
after telling us NOT to spend our food money on the
WORDS of any man.
Psa. 33:4 For the word of the LORD is
right; and all his works are done in truth.
Psa. 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is
full of the goodness of the LORD.
Psa. 33:6 By the (1) word of the
(2) LORD
were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by

mouth.

The Menorah was in the Holy Place typifying the TRUE
Church or Synagogue which began in the wilderness. Any
preacher, singer or instrument player who went near or into
any holy place was commanded by God to be executed. God did
not command the Levites to make worship music.
Is. 11:1 And there shall
come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow out of
his roots:
Is. 11:2 And the spirit of
the LORD shall rest upon him,

and understanding, the
spirit of counsel
and might,
the spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of the LORD;
Is. 11:3 And shall make
him of quick understanding in the fear of
the LORD:
and he shall not judge after
the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears:
Is. 11:4 But with
righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth:
and he shall smite the earth
with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his
lips shall he slay the wicked.

"Singing served as a means of inducing ecstatic
prophecy (speaking in tongues). 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.

Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen
the things which remain, that are ready to die:
for I have not
found thy works perfect before God.
Ekklesia, Synagogue or Church is A School of
Christ (Christ, Paul, Campbells, etal) therefore,
the ONLY role of the elders as sole PASTOR-TEACHERS is to
teach that which has been taught. Therefore, anyone
who has something NEW is identified by Peter as a false
teacher.
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received
and heard, and hold fast, and repent.
If therefore
thou shalt not watch,
I will come on thee
as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour
I will come upon thee.
Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which
have not defiled their garments;
and they shall walk
with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall
be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot
out his name out of the book of life,
but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his
angels.
Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Having "a" spirit tell you to remove CHRIST from your
public confession seems like a terminal fall from grace.
Paul begins with the message from Jesus Christ--now in
His Holy Spirit state--and ends with "hear what the Spirit
saith to the churches." No one at Pepperdine will have
anything new to ADD claiming that "a" spirit told them how
to sow masssive discord.
Arnobius, Musical Mocking VI, p. 479).
"Mocking the belief that Mellonia
introduces herself into the entrails, or Limentinus, and
that they set themselves to make known what you seek to
learn, Arnobius asks--
May it not happen, may
it not come to pass, although you craftily conceal it, that the one should take the
other's place, deluding, mocking, deceiving, and presenting the appearance of the
deity invoked? If the magi, who are so much akin to soothsayers, relate that, in their incantations, pretend gods steal
in frequently instead of those invoked; that some of
these, moreover, are spirits of grosser substance,
who pretend that they are gods, and delude
the ignorant by
their lies and deceit." (Arnobius Against the Heathen
The magicians or soothsayers
sang their incantations but Arnobius warned that
other "gods" or evil spirits seemed to steal in
and, instead of divine truth, delivered lies
and deceit. No one can justify instrumental
music and performance worship from the Bible or history
without lying to God and about God.
"If any one perchance thinks
that we are speaking calumnies, let him take the books
of the Thracian soothsayer (Orpheus the inventor of musical
soothsaying), which you speak of as of divine antiquity;
and he will find that we are neither cunningly inventing
anything, nor seeking means to bring
the holiness of the gods
into ridicule, and doing so: for we shall bring forward
the very verses which the son of Calliope
uttered in the Greek, and published abroad in
his songs to the
human race through out all all ages."

From the Golden Calf: From
the earliest times (c. 4000 BCE), there were triads
formed of Enlil, Anu and Enki.
The second triad was formed from Ur, moon-god of Ur, Utu
sun-god of Sippar, and Nana goddess of Erech
(ibid., p. 296). The moon-god of Ur can be identified
with Sin. The Semitic term Bel was used among
the Babylonian Semites derived from Baal in the
same sense as it was used by the other Semites
and in addition used it as master or lord
(ibid.).
The Israelites rose up in PLAY or
musical idolatry at Mount Sinai: the trinity was Osiris,
Isis and Hathor: The Canaanites were under
Assyro-Babylonian dominance from 3000 to 1700 BCE. Even by
circa 1400 BCE, their influence was still so great that
all correspondence with Egypt and the Pharaoh was

NO ONE CAN MISS PAUL'S WARNING ABOUT THE SAME FOLLYT IN
GALATIANS:
Gal 5:12 As for those agitators,
I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate
themselves! CHRYSOSTOM
IDENTIFIES those who drive you out of your homeland:
That by lying about the Spirit OF
Christ universal condemnation of music a the MARK of
telling God to "Shut your face."
For they had compelled them to
abandon their own fatherland, their liberty, and their
heavenly kindred, and to seek an alien and foreign
one; they had cast them out of Jerusalem which is
above and free, and compelled them to wander forth as
captives and emigrants.....But in truth neither the eye
nor any other part of us is to blame, but the
depraved will only.
But if you will not allow this, why do you not mutilate
the tongue for blasphemy, the hands for
rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in short, the
whole body?
For the ear
enchanted by the sound of a flute hath often
enervated the soul; and the perception of a
sweet perfume by the nostrils hath bewitched the
mind, and made it frantic for pleasure. Yet this
would be extreme wickedness and satanic madness.
Note 1.
ALL musical terms speak of
enchantment or SORCERY: why else would people LIE
about the Bible, lie TO God and lie ABOUT God? A note
reads:
Note 1: Paul wishes that
the circumcisers would not stop with circumcision but
go beyond it to mutilation (make themselves eunuchs)
like the priests of Cybele. A severe irony and
similar to the one in Philip. iii. 2, 3, where Paul
calls the boasters of circumcision the Concision.
Self mutilation was a recognized form of heathen
worship especially in Pessinus in Galatia and
therefore quite familiar to the readers. Thus by their
glorying in the flesh the Galatians relapsed into
their former heathenism,--Schaff and Lightfoot.
The Revised Version here has, would even cut
themselves off, the American Committee has, would
go beyond circumcision.G.A.]
These are
the DOGS Paul told us NOT to permit into the
assembly in Phi 2: that is why worship must be IN
THE PLACE of the human spirit and not acted out.
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil
workers, beware of the concision.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever
loveth and maketh a lie.
AFTER He had turned them over to worship the starry host. Chris
in the Prophets says that Rick Atchley and Mike Cope are WRONG:
God never commanded king, kingdom, civil, military or clergy to
do HIS work.
In
Isaiah 30 the Spirit OF Christ (not another people)
identified the MARKS in Sight and Sound affirmed by Mike Cope
and Rick Atchley.
And his breath [SPIRIT], as rushing water in a valley, reach reach as
far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for their vain error; error also shall pursue
them and overtake
them.
Isaiah 30:28 LXX
Must ye always
rejoice,
and go into my holy places continually,
as they that keep
a feast?
and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice into
the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel Isaiah
30:29 LXX
and the Lord shall make
his glorious
voice to be heard and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and his wrath shall be as water and violent hail. Isaiah 30:30 LXX
For by the voice of the
Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke where with he shall smite
them. Isaiah 30:31 LXX
And it shall happen to
him from every side, that they from whom their hope of
assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 30:32 LXX
For thou shalt be
required before thy time: has it been prepared for thee also to
reign?
nay, God has prepared for thee a deep trench, wood piled fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord shall be as a trench kindled with sulphur. Isaiah 30:33 LXX

Theophilus
Autolycus II
Chapter XXVIII.-Why Eve Was Formed of
Adam's Rib.
Therefore said Adam to Eve,
"This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh."
And besides, he prophesied, saying, "For this cause
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife; and they two shall be one flesh;
" which also itself has its fulfilment in ourselves.
For who that marries lawfully does not despise mother
and father, and his whole family connection, and all
his household, cleaving to and becoming one with his
own wife, fondly preferring her? So that often, for
the sake of their wives, some submit even to death.
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 [a0podedrake/nai]
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.
58 Referring to the bacchanalian
orgies in which " Eva " was shouted, and
which the Fathers professed to believe was
an unintentional invocation of Eve, the
authoress of all sin.
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.
Worship Androgyny The Pagan Sexual Ideal
450
JOURNAL OF THE EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY
Philology at the University of
Zurich, comments upon this testimony: Scholars at one
time gave advice not to believe in slander of this
sort, but we can hardly be sure. Parallels from
initiations elsewhere are not difficult to find.33 In
other words, Burkhardt recognizes that there was
something going on related to the cultic nature of the
event, not simply a frenzied lack of control.34
Examples of religious
androgyny can
be found in various forms in Syria and Asia Minor in
the third century BC,35 but its clearest and closest
expression in that area comes from the Roman Empire at
the beginning of the Christian era. It is well
documented that the Great
Mother under
the names of Atargatis
or Cybele had
androgynous priests, called Galli, who castrated
themselves as a permanent act of devotion to
the goddess.36 A particular version of the goddess is
worshipped under the name of Artemis
from the
people of Yahweh
(Deut 23:2; cf. cf. Isa 56:35) and the
command against cross-dressing [equally a pagan
cultic common place, as we noted above] (Deut
22:5). Since the context refers to pagan worship
activities like child sacrifice to Moloch
(18:21; 20:15) and the calling of ghosts and spirits
(20:6, 27), religious homosexual androgyny may well be implied. Further
proof is (a) the use of the term tτebβ,
translated abomination or detestable
custom, which evokes the notion of pure and impure
worship; (b) the reference to both male and female shrine
prostitution in Deut 23:18; (c) the mention
of the quarters of male shrine prostitutes in the temple of
the Lord and where women did weaving for [the goddess]
Asherah. According to Richard J. Pettey,
Asherah: Goddess
of Israel (American University Studies VII, Vol. 74;
New York: Peter Lang, 1990) 25ff., Asherah shows
similarities to . For other work on Asherah, see Tilde

63 The worship was orgiastic in
the extreme, and was accompanied by the sound of
such frenzy-producing instruments as the tympana, cymbala, tibiae, and cornu, and
culminated in scourging, self-mutilation, syncope
from excitement. and even death from hemorrhage or
heart-failure (cf. Lucr. 2.598ff.;
Varr. Sat. Men. 131 Bόch.ff.;
Ov. Fast.
4.179ff.). The worship of the
Magna Mater, or Mater Idaea, as she was often
called (perhaps from identification with Rhea of
the Cretan Mt. Ida rather than from the Trojan Mt.
Ida), was introduced into Rome
in 205 B.C. in accordance with a Sibylline oracle
In Revelation 17 John warns about the Babylonian
Mother of Harlots.

 "Asherah (symbolized by errect poles with fertility symbols pouring
out the top): She is the Queen of Heaven, in other languages and ages
identified as Ashtoreth, Athirat, Astarte, and
Ishtar. Yahweh, the Hebrew God elevated to
become the sole deity , was Her consort.
Her "male"
priestesses were known as kelabim, the faithful "dogs" of the Goddess,
- who
practiced divinatory arts,
- danced
in
processions,
- and
served as hierodules, qedeshim,
- in the
company of other priestesses.
Elements of
the goddess worship were largely
erased in a
cultural purge c. 630 BCE by King Yosiah, at the behest of Yahweh's
priests, who required supremacy.
Since the
Hebrew term, qedeshim,
sacred ones, parallels the way the Syrian priests (galli )
were described as holy (hieroi ), there does seem to
be reason to conclude, with Nissinen, that the qedeshim were
thought of as men who had assumed an unusual gender
role and thereby expressed their life-long dedication
to the deity (Homoeroticism).
Ringgren, Religions 167, mistakenly says that this was
the only kind of homoeroticism prohibited by
Scripture, for he fails to see the theological
connection between androgynous
homosexuality,
religious or not, and pagan monism. In other words,
there does seem to be some similarity between the assinnu of
Mesopotamia and the qedeshim
of Canaan. Egyptian goddess worship (Ishtar, Astarte,
Isis or Anat) is also evident in Jeremiah 7:18 and
44:1725see Robert P. Carroll, Jeremiah: A Commentary
(OT Library; Philadelphia: Westminster, 1986) 213 and
734735.

34Richard
Seaford, In the Mirror
of Dionysus,
in The Sacred and the Feminine in Ancient
Greece (ed. Sue Blundell and Margaret Williamson;
London/New York: Routledge, 1998) 133, shows that transvestism
functions as a right of passage into the cult of Dionysus.
In the cult females may be like males and males like
females (131). This is because liminal inversion of
identity [is] required for mystic initiation. Such confusion
is also seen not merely between male and female but
also between human (or god) and animal, and between
living and dead (132L).
Heredotus
II XLVIII To Bacchus [Dionysus], on the eve of his
feast, every Egyptian sacrifices a hog before the door of his house,
which is then given back to the swineherd by whom it was furnished, and by
him carried away.
In
other respects the festival is celebrated
almost exactly as Bacchic festivals are in Greece,
excepting that
the Egyptians have no chorals.
They also use
instead of phalli another invention,
consisting
of images a cubit high, pulled by strings, which the women carry round
to the villages.
A piper goes in front, and the women
follow, singing
hymns in
honour of Bacchus. They give a religious reason
for the peculiarities of the image.

50. On certain days a multitude
flocks into the temple, and the Galli
in great numbers, sacred as they are, perform
the ceremonies of the men and gash their arms
and turn their backs to be lashed.
Many
bystanders play on the pipes the while many
beat drums;
others sing
divine and sacred songs. All this
performance takes place outside the
temple,
and those
engaged in the ceremony enter not into
the temple.
51. During
these days they are made Galli. As the
Galli sing and celebrate their orgies,
frenzy falls on many of them and many who had come
as mere spectators afterwards are found to have
committed the great act. I will narrate what they
do. Any young man who has resolved on this action,
strips off his clothes, and with a loud shout
bursts into the midst of the crowd, and picks up a
sword from a number of swords which I suppose have
been kept ready for many years for this purpose.
He takes it and castrates himself and then
runs wild through the city, bearing in his hands
what he has cut off. He casts it into any house at
will, and from this house he receives women's
raiment and ornaments. Thus they act
during their ceremonies of castration.

that are healing when mixed, and many that are
baneful; there every man is a physician, wise above
human kind; for they are of the race of Paeeon.

lacked nothing, whether in wisdom or in comeliness.

all this set is sorrowful and dejected on account of

tasteless gluttony, buying with borrowed money all

Instrumental "Worship" is defined as the Mother of Harlots and

Rev. 11:8 And their dead

which spiritually is called
Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
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.
Is. 1:12 When ye come to

who hath required this at your hand, to tread

Is. 1:13 Bring no more vain

Is. 1:14 Your new moons and
your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble

Many Biblical scholars[45]
and theologians point out that although Rome was the
prevailing pagan power in the 1st century when the Book of
Revelation was written, the symbolism of the whore of
Babylon refers not to an invading infidel of
foreign power, but to an apostate false queen,
a former "bride" who has been unfaithful and who,
even though she has been divorced and cast out because
of unfaithfulness, continues to falsely claim to be
the "queen" of the spiritual realm.[46][47][48]
This symbolism did not fit the case of Rome at the time.
Proponents of this view suggest that the "seven mountains"
in Rev 17:9 are the seven hills on which Jerusalem stands
and the "fall of Babylon" in Rev 18 is the fall and destruction of Jerusalem
in 70 AD[49]
The dress of the whore of Babylon is similar to the
Jerusalem High Priest (Exodus 28:6).
Several Old Testament prophets referred to Jerusalem as
being a spiritual harlot and a mother of such harlotry
(Isaiah 1:21; Jeremiah 2:20; Jeremiah 3:111; Ezekiel
16:143; Ezekiel 23, Galatians 4:25). Some of the these
Old Testament prophecies as well as the warnings in the
New Testament concerning Jerusalem are in fact very close
to the text concerning Babylon in Revelation, suggesting
that John may well have actually been citing those
prophecies in his description of Babylon.[50]
For example, in Matthew 23:3437 and
Luke 11:4751, Jesus himself assigned all of the
bloodguilt for the killing of the prophets and of the
saints (of all time) to the Pharisees of Jerusalem, and,
in Revelation 17:6 and 18:20,24, almost identical phrasing
is used in charging that very same bloodguilt to Babylon.
This is also bolstered by Jesus' statement that "it's not
possible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem."
(Luke 13:33).[51]
Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues,
and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show
thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit
to a great and high mountain,
and showed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of
heaven from God,
The Spiritual Jerusalem is the Church (Ekklesia, Synagogue)
of Christ
Micah 3:12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed
as a field,
and Jerusalem shall
become heaps,
and the mountain of the
house as the high places [pagan worship] of the forest.
Micah 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass,
that the mountain of the
house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the
mountains,
and it shall be exalted
above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
Micah 4:2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let
us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the
God of Jacob;
and he will teach us
of his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
for the law shall go
forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Zechariah 14:8 And in
that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem,
half of them toward
the eastern sea and the other half toward the western
sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.
In Isaiah 50 denouncing all of the
Civil-Military-Clergy which had been ABANDONED, He
prophesied of those who SMITE and PLUCK Him in a

and I was not
rebellious, neither turned away back.
Isa 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters,

Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve
gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written
thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the
children of Israel:

gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three
gates.

Rev 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to
measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall

Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length
is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with
the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the
breadth and the height of it are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred
and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a
man, that is, of the angel.
Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of
jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by
day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of
the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any
thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie:
but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of
evil workers, beware of the concision.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers,
and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
SEE PAUL DEFINE THE DOGS OR CYNICS WHICH HE REJECTS FROM THE
WORSHIP IN PHIL 3.
Galatians 5:11 And
I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision,
why do I yet
suffer persecution?
then is the offence
of the cross ceased.
Galatians 5:12 I
would they were even cut off which trouble
you.
John Chrysostom
understood Paul's message.
Chrysostom's Commentary on
Galatians:
Galatians
5:1.-"With freedom did Christ set us free; stand fast
therefore.115 ."
Ver.
12.
"I would that they which unsettle
you would even cut themselves
off." And he says well "that unsettle
you."
"A
man that is heretical after the first and second
admonition refuse." (Tit. iii: 10) If they will,
let them not only be circumcised,
but mutilated.
Where
then are those who dare to mutilate
themselves; seeing that they draw down the Apostolic
curse, and accuse the workmanship of God,
and take part with the Manichees? ... But
if you will not allow this, why do you not mutilate
the tongue for blasphemy, the
hands for rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in
short, the whole body?
For
the ear enchanted by the sound
of a flute hath often enervated
the soul;
and
the perception of a sweet perfume by the nostrils
hath bewitched the mind, and made it frantic
for pleasure .

on the words Paul uses pointed to the
emasculated priests of the mother goddess,

Notes
Thy timbrel, Mother Cybele, the
firstings of thy rite,
And as her tender finger-tips on bull-back hollow rang
She rose a-grieving and her song to listening comrades
sang.
"Up Gallae, hie together, haste for Cybele's
deep grove,
Hie to the Dindymnean dame, ye flocks that love
to rove;
The which affecting stranger steads as bound in exile's
brunt
My sect pursuing led by me have nerved you to confront
The raging surge of salty sea and ocean's tyrant
hand
As your hate of Venus' [ZOE] hest your
manly
forms unmann'd,
Gladden your souls, ye mistresses, with sense of error
bann'd.
Drive from your spirits dull delay, together follow ye
To hold of Phrygian goddess, home of Phrygian Cybebe,
Where loud the cymbal's voice resounds with timbrel-echoes
blending,
And where the Phrygian piper drones grave bass
from reed a-bending,
Where toss their ivy-circled heads with might the
Maenades
Where ply mid shrilly lullilooes the holiest
mysteries,
Where to fly here and there be wont the she-god's
vaguing train,
Thither behoves us lead the dance in quick-step
hasty strain."
Hdt.
1.155 [3] O
King, what you say is reasonable. But do not ever yield to
anger, or destroy an ancient city that is innocent both of the
former and of the present offense. For the former I am
responsible, and bear the punishment on my head; while
Pactyes, in whose charge you left Sardis,
does this present wrong; let him, then, pay the penalty.
[4]
Grant, then, forgiveness to
the Lydians,
and to make sure of their never
rebelling against thee, or alarming thee more,
send and forbid them to keep any
weapons of war,
command them to wear tunics under their cloaks, and to put
buskins upon their legs,
......
....and make them bring up their sons to cithern-playing (Kitharizein), singing (psallein),
...
.......and
shop-keeping
(Hucksterism). So wilt thou soon see them become women instead
of men,
and there will be no more
fear of their revolting from thee
