I've always felt like music is apart of me. The way it evokes certain emotions and moods is insane to me. It makes me wonder...
How long has music been around?
Where did it originate?
Is music in the Bible?
Because the Bible is the most popularly used form of historical documentation, why not take it back that far? Why not use it as a resource?
In the Bible, music is described to be one of the ways to praise God and worship Him; worshipping through song, through instruments, etc.
However, in Ezekial 28, there is reference to Lucifer, later known as Satan, being the angel of music.
Ezekial 28:13 states, "The workmanship of they tabrets and of they pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created."
It is said that Lucifer's entire body was made out of instruments and beautiful stones and gems that brought forth music for the Heavens to worship God. But, as everyone knows, Lucifer denied God and became Satan, the evil that plagues us and tempts us. All the gifts God gave to Lucifer were not taken away from him when he was sent out of the Heavens. Therefore, he still has the ability to produce great and beautiful music, just not to serve God.
From a religious viewpoint, this is definitely an interesting and significant story. It produces many questions. Questions like:
Well if good and evil does truly exist, does that mean that the devil produces all music and is he in all music?
Is music evil?
Why would God take those talents away from him if he was destined for everything but 'good'?
...so many questions...
where are the answers?
