The music and sexual perversion warning by Jesus Christ. The rule of women and effeminate males.REED SHAKEN BY THE WIND
In Ephesians 5: 19 Paul commands that we SPEAK the inspired text and in Romans 15 that we should speak "that which is written with one mind and one mouth." However, Paul speaks of both singing and making melody IN the human heart. However, as late as the year 1878 those who were causing sectarian division in many protestant groups grasped the word which is translated "melody" to justify their abandonment of historic Christian worship.
After Israel's fall into musical idolatry God turned them over to worship the starry host. Therefore, the sacrificial system of the temple was not an approved PATTERNISM for the church of Christ. It was being abandoned to the common Gentile system because they rejected The Book of The Covenant of Grace. God ordained the Qahal, synagogue or church in the wilderness: the synagogue at the time of Jesus had the same task of being "a school of the Bible." Both vocal and instrumental rejoicing were outlawed because this would make hearing the Word impossible and would thereby do the work of Satan.
Psalm 41 promised that Judas would not triumph over or mock Jesus and the Judas Bag was always attached to a FLUTE CASE which is the meaning of ALARM. However, in the Dead Sea Version it would be the Levitical Warrior musicians who would MOCK Jesus right up to the cross. Strange, that the only clear meaning of the scepter in the hands of Jesus was probably a FLUTE made out of hemlock.
We know that the "Judas Bag" was for carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments: it was always attached to a flute case. Therefore, we are aware that the SOPE
Matt. 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head,
and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him,
and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
In this image you can see both the reed and the flute by which they would try to "triumph over" or "alarm" Jesus.

Catullus 63 defines the Mother Goddess or Great Mother in Greece. John defines her in Revelation 17 and in Revelation 18 she uses rhetoricians, singers and musicians as SORCERERS. She is called ZOE as a major feminist symbol (cymbal)
The especial worship of Cybele was conducted by emasculated priests called Galli (or, as in vv. 12 and 34, with reference to their physical condition, Gallæ).
(Deut 23:1 No one who has been emasculated by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the LORD).
Their name was derived by the ancients from that of the river Gallus, a tributary of the Sangarius,
The worship was orgiastic in the extreme, and was accompanied by the sound of such frenzy-producing instruments as the tympana, cymbala, tibiæ, and cornu,and culminated in scourging, self-mutilation, syncope from excitement. and even death from hemorrhage or heart-failure
by drinking from which men became inspired with frenzy (cf. Ov. Fast. 4.361ff.).
cymbalum': cymbala were hollow hemispheres of metal a few inches in diameter, held one in each hand by the aid of small rings or thongs attached to the center of their convex surfaces. Struck together, they gave a sharp, clanging sound that fitted well with that of the tympana and tibiæ; cf. Catul. 64.262 ``tereti tenuis tinnitus ære ciebant''; Ov. Fast. 4.184 ``æra tinnitus ære repulsa dabunt''; Ov. Fast. 4.189 ``sonus æris acuti''; Aus. Epist. 24.23 ``tinnitus atinnitus aëni.eumlaut;ni.''
Galli or Click Here
singular GALLUS, priests, often temple attendants or wandering mendicants, of the ancient Asiatic deity, the Great Mother of the Gods, known as Cybele, or Agdistis, in Greek and Latin literature. The galli were eunuchs attired in female garb, with long hair fragrant with ointment.
Together with priestesses, they celebrated the Great Mother's rites with wild music and dancing until their frenzied excitement found its culmination in self-scourging, self-laceration, or exhaustion. Self-emasculation by candidates for the priesthood sometimes accompanied this delirium of worship.
The name galli may be Phrygian, from the two streams called Gallus, both tributaries of the Sangarius (now Sakarya) River, the waters of which were said to inspire religious frenzy.
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 1 Co.11:14
but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 1 Cor 11:15
"Haste you together, she-priests, to Cybele's dense woods, together haste, you vagrant herd of the dame Dindymene, you who inclining towards strange places as exiles, following in my footsteps, led by me, comrades, you who have faced the ravening sea and truculent main, and have castrated your bodies in your utmost hate of Venus, make glad our mistress speedily with your minds' mad wanderings.
Let dull delay depart from your thoughts, together haste you, follow to the Phrygian home of Cybele, to the Phrygian woods of the Goddess, where sounds the cymbal's voice, where the tambour resounds, where the Phrygian flutist pipes deep notes on the curved reed, where the ivy-clad Maenades furiously toss their heads, where they enact their sacred orgies with shrill-sounding ululations, where that wandering band of the Goddess flits about: there it is meet to hasten with hurried mystic dance."When Attis, spurious woman, had thus chanted to her comity, the chorus straightway shrills with trembling tongues, the light tambour booms, the concave cymbals clang, and the troop swiftly hastes with rapid feet to verdurous Ida.
Then raging wildly, breathless, wandering, with brain distraught, hurries Attis with her tambour, their leader through dense woods, like an untamed heifer shunning the burden of the yoke: and the swift Gallae press behind their speedy-footed leader. So when the home of Cybele they reach, wearied out with excess of toil and lack of food they fall in slumber. Sluggish sleep shrouds their eyes drooping with faintness, and raging fury leaves their minds to quiet ease.
If you understand the events around Caesarea Philippi and the promise to build His church on the stones in front of Pan's "mouth" as the Gates of Hell, you will understand that the eternal battle is between the man Jesus of Nazareth speaking the Word and PAN as the BEAST using his pan pipes to build earthly kingdoms.

There you with me
in silvan strains will learn to rival Pan.
Pan first with wax taught reed with reed to join;
for sheep alike and shepherd Pan hath care.
Nor with the reed's edge fear you to make rough

Luke 7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
They GO OUT as Jesus defined the speakers, singers and instruments to here the WORD of the Lord but MUSIC is the mark that they are looking for bad love in the RIGHT places. They HOPED that John wore the SOFT CLOTHING of the Catamite (dog) who sang SOFT MELODIES.

Paul was speaking of the MAD WOMEN in Corinth: when you see WOMEN standing in the holy places this has nothing to do with superiority: it is a MARK or a SIGN God has left you so that you can know when the FRUIT SEASONS come upon you.When you HEAR the repeating poverty of thought that is the MARK of sorcery or the prophecy Jesus spoke about; REST ASSURED that God does not know your NAME because Jesus does not own you and WILL NOT confess you when YOU refuse to confess Him in songs and sermons.
Song is HYMNS: Jesus exampled and Paul commanded and the church PRACTICED the word SPEAK until the pagans got on the dole. God says SPEAK because MUSIC is the MARK He has reserved so that we CAN RECOGNIZE the invasion of the musical BODY SNATCHERS.
PSALLO is the MARK of the NICOLAITANS
Rev. 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.Perhaps just in time, a sectarian movement arose for the first time in recorded history and tried to justify a society to collect "all of Christendon says J. H. Garrison much later." Lacking nothing but divisiveness they claimed that PSALLO was a direct authorization or even a command to use musical instruments to AID the worship (whatever that be). Remembering the "shaking in the wind" they began by claiming the Church of Christ as their prey, we will look at themeaning of the NICOLAITANS.

Plutarch, Symposiacs Book IV: What God is Worshipped by the Jews notes:
Here Symmachus, greatly wondering at what was spoken, says: What, Lamprias, will you permit our tutelar god, called Evius, the inciter of women, famous for the honors he has conferred upon him by madmen, to be inscribed and enrolled in the mysteries of the Jews? .. Or is there any solid reason that can be given to prove Adonis to be the same with Bacchus? Here Moeragenes interposing, said: Do not be so fierce upon him, for I who am an Athenian answer you, and tell you, in short, that these two are the very same.
Within a few days after they celebrate another feast, not darkly but openly, dedicated to Bacchus, for they have a feast amongst them called Kradephoria, from carrying palm-trees, and Thyrsophoria, when they enter into the temple carrying thyrsi.
What they do within I know not; but it is very probable that they perform the rites of Bacchus. First they have little trumpets, such as the Grecians used to have at their Bacchanalia to call upon their gods withal.
Others go before them playing upon harps, which they call Levites, whether so named from Lusius or Evius,--either word agrees with Bacchus.
And I suppose that their Sabbaths have some relation to Bacchus; for even now many call the Bacchi by the name of Sabbi, and they make use of that word at the celebration of Bacchus's orgies.
And this may be discovered out of Demosthenes and Menander. Nor would it be out of place, were any one to say that the name Sabbath was given to this feast from the agitation and excitement which the priests of Bacchus display.
The Jews themselves witness no less; for when they keep the Sabbath, they invite one another to drink till they are drunk; or if they chance to be hindered by some more weighty business, it is the fashion at least to taste the wine.
Again, Stephen says that God 'turned them over to worship the starry host because of musical idolatry: why doubt it?

[90] to call to an assembly the long-haired Achaeans, and speak out his word to all the wooers, who are ever slaying his thronging sheep and his sleek kine of shambling gait. And I will guide him to Sparta and to sandy Pylos, to seek tidings of the return of his dear father, if haply he may hear of it,[95] that good report may be his among men.” So she spoke, and bound beneath her feet her beautiful sandals, immortal, golden, which were wont to bear her both over the waters of the sea and over the boundless land swift as the blasts of the wind...

Soft is from the Greek:
Malakos (g3120) mal-ak-os'; of uncert. affin.; soft, i.e. fine (clothing); fig. a catamite (male prostitute): - effeminate, soft. (g3119 means soft or diseased)

"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.
"I would argue that in Greek tragedy the cross-dressed actor was crucial, a sign of the conventional nature of the drama. Male playing female is inevitably distanced from the role and makes it clear that the role of the woman is an idealization, not a realization.
In addition the male playing female indicates a possible relevance of the form to dionysus, a god associated with masks and characterized by softness, woman's curls and dress (Bacchae) and worshipped with transvestite ceremonies at the Oschophoria (Seaford; Segal 1982: 10-20, 158- 68, 214).

Mount Hermon figures in many of the events of the life of Jesus: it was uninhabited but the site of the events in the book of Enoch. It was the place of the "gates of hell" upon a "horn" or mountain and the place where Pan was worshipped. Jesus promised that these gates would not defeat His Church.

FRUITS OR OPORA IS THE MOTHER GODDESSES OF THE NEW WINESKIN
THE FRUITS GODDESS AND THE MUSICAL CONNECTIONFruits or Opora was a goddess: OPORA The goddess or female personification of the ripe fruit of late summer. The course of the seasons (or hours) is symbolically described by the dance of the Horae; and, in conjunction with the Charites, Hebe, Harmonia, and Aphrodite, they accompany the songs of the Muses, and Apollo's play on the lyre, with their dancing.

LOOK AGAIN: Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
"Yet another version of Aphrodite as Triple Goddess, Agape 'love feast,' Irene 'peace,' and Chione 'snow queen.' Irene was also a Goddess in her own right, and she had an attendant named Opora 'autumn.' The Horae who 'greeted' her on the shores of Kyprus were her three high priestesses who carried her statue through the shallows, clothing it on the beach during Aphrodite's bathing and purification festival. Irene was the Crone, bringer of the peace of death,
"The Horae were among the mathematici 'learned mothers' who defined the Zodiac and the star movements marking the seasons, one translation of the word 'hora."Agape the ruler of sacred sexual rites, and Chione was the new year, born at Winter Solstice, unapproachable and serene. The priestesses who served each avatar were the original angels, who developed calendars and sacred dances. While today their dances are mainly represented by the hora, an imitation of the spinning cycles of time, their work in the field of time keeping remains.
"The patriarchs became the most incensed over the sacred women of Agape. Among their symbols were the lotus, lily, and dove, all representations of the vulva. Among their mysteries was ritual cunnilingus, which demands respect for female pleasure and the female body. This aspect of the sacred feminine was among the first to be erased. The effort began early. Originally, the land of the 'Lotus Eaters' (a drug) was in the Amazon territories of North Africa, then was moved further away still, to beyond the Southern Sea. Source
