Satan: The god of This World,

.

Part 1:

“I Write The [Classical] Songs!?!”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

2nd Corinthians 4:3, 4

“I WRITE THE SONGS”

by Bruce Johnston

.

There was a very popular song back in the 70’s, with some very ominous lyrics…

.

“I’ve been alive forever And I wrote the very first song I put the words and the melodies together I am music, and I write the songs”.

.

[Chorus:] “I write the songs that make the whole world sing. I write the songs of love and special things. I write the songs that make the young girls cry I write the songs, I write the songs…

…I am music and I write the songs”.

.

Now these were just two stanzas of that song. But they give us an idea of just where this song was going.

.

It spoke of music as being a sort of eternal spirit.

.

And really, when you think about it, there may be more than just a little truth to that idea!

“THE SPIRIT THAT NOW WORKETH”

.

One thing we do know about Satan is this: it is said of him…

“…the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

Ephesians 2:2

.

And so, Satan, being a spirit, and his vast army of evil spirits are now working in the hearts of fallen mankind!

LUCIFER’S MUSICAL ABILITIES

.

And so, as, “the god of this world” (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4), Satan now presides over his fellow-angels, as he rules over this lost world.

.

Well, the first biblical mention of Lucifer’s musical abilities is found in Isaiah. Listen…

.

“Thy pomp is brought down to the grave,

and the noise of thy viols… 

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer…

…which didst weaken the nations!”

Isaiah 14:11, 12. Condensed for brevity

.

Here it is revealed that Lucifer was somehow intimately connected with viols, or violins.

.

These viols would, no doubt, be stringed instruments.

WIND & PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS

.

Now many theologians also attribute this following passage to Lucifer as well…

“the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes

was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created…”

Ezekiel 28:14, 15, 17 [condensed].

.

So, if both these passages apply to Lucifer, then it is a dramatic testimony to Lucifer’s musical abilities. 

.

Well, you could probably say that Lucifer was a veritable “One-Man-Orchestra/Choir”!

SATAN: MICRO-MANAGER OF HIS KINGDOM!

.

It must be remembered that Satan is the high commander of his vast army.

.

And it would be utter foolishness to suppose that he is complacent about his war against Heaven!

.

No worthy opponent just sits back and leaves things to chance!

.

Just the opposite, Satan no doubt, micro-manages every detail of his kingdom.

.

And the music industry is no exception!

.

No doubt he is the true genius composer behind many of the musical compositions of this world, present and past!

MUCH MUSIC TODAY, OVERTLY EVIL

.

Now, people have no problem believing that some of today’s music is largely the creation of this genius rebel.

.

After all, a lot of it is very overtly evil.

.

Much of today’s music makes no pretense of being anything, but evil!

WHAT ABOUT “NICE” MUSIC?

.

But what about all the “nice” music?

.

Take classical music for example.

.

How could such nice music possibly be the product of Lucifer?

WHOLE WORLD LIES IN WICKEDNESS”

.

1st John 5:19 reveals that this entire world is evil…“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

.

So here is revealed the horrible truth, that the entire world-system of Planet Earth is evil.

.

And 2nd Corinthians 4:4 reveals that Satan is, “the god of this world”.

MANKIND’S SENTIMENTS?

.

Now someone will say, “Well all that classical music is just a wonderful expression of the mankind’s sentiments, and aspirations, and sorrows and joys!”

.

Oh yes, but is it an expression of Mankind according to what the Bible says of Mankind?

.

But much of the world’s music expresses the selfish, the pride, the lust, the self-exaltation, the violence, the faithlessness and unbelief in God: and many more similar traits which mankind so greatly embraces!

“GOD GIVE US WISDOM!”

.

Well, God has given His people enough godly music, so that we don’t have to seek after the music of this world!

.

Oh yes, there may indeed be classical music which glorifies Heaven.

.

And so, let’s choose the kinds of music that most closely resembles the music of Heaven, and shun the proud, sensual music of this world!

.

And may the Holy Spirit give us great discernment to understand the difference between the two.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Let me not be ignorant of Satan’s devices, in his role as, “god of this world”. But let me be, “as wise as a serpent” in regard to just what is behind all the so-called creativity and genius of this world…

LOCATION OF THE REVELATION 12 DRAGON…

.

The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.

.

The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s very visible mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.

This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.

The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries and Pisces.

Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.

The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus.

The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.

.

BODY HARD TO SEE

.

The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night.

The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .
