When Nahash (the name must be an Israelite caricature: it means “snake”), the king of the Ammonites, agreed to spare the Israelites of Jabesh-Gilead only if the Israelites allowed Nahash to gouge out the right eye of every man by the soon-to-be king of the Israelites, King Nachash was no snake. He was, perhaps, a smelter of copper (or an importer of copper from the lands to the south of Ammon), perhaps a soothsayer or diviner, perhaps simply a smart man.

Girardian Lectionary
45. The Greek verb myo means to close the mouth or shut the eyes. There is debate about whether myo plays a crucial role in the etymology of other significant words such as myth, mystery, and even music. These etymologies make sense within the Girardian hypotheses. Myth means to close ourselves to the victim and tell the tale according to the perpetrator's perspective; mystery cults are based on the silence of the victims; music derives from drowning out the voice of the victim.

Rev. 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth:
and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Rev. 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Rev. 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth:
and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Antiquity set Apollo as their leader, Apollon Mousagetēs (
According to Herodotus, they surfaced some 2,000 years after that as an effeminate priesthood in what is now southern Russia and present-day Ukraine. They were called the ENAREE, "endowed by the goddess Venus with the gift of prophecy." 18
Five hundred years on, they were holy priests telling the future, still dressing like women as they worshipped the mother earth Nerthus in the cult of the ALCI, the German version of the gay Twins CASTOR AND POLLUX.
The variations of the cults that evolved are infinite and can be found beneath upwards of thirty or more of the FOUNDING MYTHS OF HOMOSEXUALITY in the Greek pantheon alone. Be they CURETES or KUROI, they became the later masked SATYRS and SILENI or THYIADES in the thesauri rites of the Horned Gods. Their emphasis on music and dancing, such as with the BACCHI and TITYRI, was dotted throughout the land.
As the islanders were conquered, the human dancing KUROI were similarly transformed into deities, first associated with the gay god APOLLO, then the effeminate DIONYSOS, and finally as the attendants at the birth of ZEUS himself. Indeed, ZEUS came to be known as the "Greatest of the KUROI," and from these beginnings came the Cults of ZEUS in which the worshippers, like the KUROI, came to feel themselves one with the cosmos as if struck by a thunderbolt. Yet before the coming of the patriarchal invaders, the homosexual KUROI were already spread far and wide. Originally from Asia Minor, roughly around where Syria or Lebanon and parts of old Turkey are located today, they were carried on the trade routes between Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and Egypt.
"Apollo Muse-leader").[9] Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an artistic inspiration, as when one cites one's own artistic muse, but they also are implicit in words and phrases such as "amuse", "museum" (Latinised from mouseion—a place where the muses were worshipped), "music", and "musing upon".[10]
A Charmer is an Abomination
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses#Cult
As the patron deity of Delphi (Apollo Pythios), Apollo is an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Apollo is the god who affords help and wards off evil; various epithets call him the "averter of evil". Delphic Apollo is the patron of seafarers, foreigners and the protector of fugitives and refugees.
As the god of Mousike (art of Muses), Apollo presides over all music, songs, dance and poetry. He is the inventor of string-music, and the frequent companion of the Muses, functioning as their chorus leader in celebrations. The lyre is a common attribute of Apollo. In Hellenistic times, especially during the 5th century BCE, as Apollo Helios he became identified among Greeks with Helios, Titan god of the sun.[2]

Origen XLI In the next place, as if he had forgotten that it was his object to write against the Christians, he says that,
the latter told him, with respect to magic arts,
"having become acquainted with one Dionysius, an Egyptian musician,
that it was only over the uneducated and men of corrupt morals that they had any power,
;
while on philosophers they were unable to produce any effect,
because they were careful to observe a healthy manner of life."
Vulgate translates, Ezek. 33:31 "They turn thy words into a song of their mouths." heart goeth after covetousness--the grand rival to the love of God; therefore called "idolatry," and therefore associated with impure carnal love,as both alike transfer the heart's affection from the Creator to the creature.
Is. 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people
draw near me with their mouth,
and with their lips do honour me,
but have removed their heart far from me,
and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Is. 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Ezek. 33:30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying,
Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

Psa. 78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.Ezek. 33:32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very LOVELY SONG of one that hath a pleasant voice,

CANTILLATION: The earliest reference to the definite modulation of the Scripture occurs in the Babylonian Talmud (Meg. 32a), where R. Johanan deprecates the indifference of such as "read [the text] without tunefulness and repeat [the Mishnah] without song." The use of the term
("tunefulness") shows that a melody definite enough to cause a pleasant impression was already attached to the Scriptural readingzThe earliest reference to the definite modulation of the Scripture occurs in the Babylonian Talmud (Meg. 32a), where R.

("tunefulness") shows that a melody definite enough to cause a pleasant impression was already attached to the Scriptural reading
Psalmos also appears in the LXX as equivalent to the Hebrew word neginah. This Hebrew term is used to describe a wide variety of songs. Neginah is translated by psalmos in Lam 3:14 (song), in Lam 5:14 (music) and in Ps 69:12 (song). It is striking to observe that in the LXX translation of Lam 3:14 and Ps 69:12, psalmos, or its verbal form, is used for songs that are not only uninspired but are in fact the product of the wicked, even drunkards, who mocked God and His word. The Hebrew term neginah is used elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures of: the songs of the wicked, Job 30:9 (song); the inspired praise of God, Psalm 61 title (Neginah-a song performed on a stringed instrument); and the uninspired praise of the Lord composed by King Hezekiah, Is 38:20 (my songs).
"Some of the psalms express a tribalistic hatred of foreign powers; even the beautiful laments of the exiles 'by the waters of Babylon,' for example, concludes with the assurance that the daughter of Babylon will be destroyed. 'Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth the little ones against the stones.'
SAM SOUDER CLAIMS TO BE SUPERIOR TO GOD
https://www.pineycom.com/Sam.Souder.Apollyon.Worship.Minister.html
SAM: Our role as worship leaders is to MINISTER to the heart of God Himself
our worship is about HIM and Him alone.
We also serve to BLESS those who gather for worship in OUR services,
not so that they can walk away “satisfied” or “FILLEDBY THE MUSIC” ,
but so that SPACE is created for THEM to encounter the living God.
Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God,
we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,
graven by art and man’s device.
But you, worship leader—you know (or at least you ought to know) where you are LEADING them.
Ours is not a role of “forcing worship” upon OUR people.
It is merely PROMPTING them OUT of the sheep pen [A Church of Christ]
and into a space where the kingdom of God does its transformative work within them.
Our job is to merely open the gate and lead them into GREENER pastures.

The rich man and the poor man alike travel together to the boundary of death. [20] And I expect that the story of Odysseus came to exceed his experiences,
through the sweet songs of Homer
[22] since there is a certain solemnity in his lies and winged artfulness,
and poetic skill deceives, seducing us with stories,
and the heart of the mass of men is blind.
For if [25] they had been able to see the truth, then mighty Aias, in anger over the arms,
would never have planted in his chest the smooth sword—
Aias, who was the most powerful in battle,

2. or whether we ought rather to think that music tends in some degree to virtue
(music being capable of producing a certain quality of character
just as gymnastics are capable of producing a certain quality of body,
music accustoming men to be able to rejoice rightly);
3. or that it contributes something to intellectual entertainment and culture (for this must be set down as a third alternative among those mentioned).
Now it is not difficult to see that one must not make amusement the object of the education of the young;for amusement does not go with learning--learning is a painful process.
Aristotle: Melody Deceives: "Poets also make use of this in inventing words, as a melody "without strings" or "without the lyre"; for they employ epithets from negations, a course which is approved in proportional metaphors..
According to Philo, the gods of the pagans exploit this weakness of men. For the sake of a better effect, and with the intention of more easily cheating their devotes, that they have set their lies to melodies, rhythms and meters.." Click for more.
- The form of diction should be neither metrical nor without rhythm. If it is metrical, it lacks persuasiveness, for it appears artificial, and at the same time it distracts the hearer's attention, since it sets him on the watch for the recurrence of such and such a cadence..
Philodemus: In the case of music, Philodemus argues that one ought not to practice assiduously to become a proficient performer, distracting oneself from the needful pursuit of philosophy, when the innocent enjoyment which is all the benefit that can be got from music is available to anyone who just listens to the performances available to the public (Mus. 4, col. 151.8–239 Delattre = PHerc. 1497.37).
The claims of music theorists such as Damon of Oia and Diogenes of Babylon that music has a crucial role in soothing the passions of adults and in forming the character of the young,
he dismisses: music as tone, melody, rhythm, affects only the irrational ear,
while any effect on character or behavior must come from the words or poetry in songs,
which is alone capable of affecting our reason (e.g., 146.30–147.11 = PHerc. 1497.32–3; cf. Sextus, M 6.19 ff.).
(Lactantius, The Divine Institutes, Ante-Nicene Fathers, VII, p. 188
"But we have already spoken of spectacles: there remains one thing which is to be overcome by us,that we be not captivated by those things which penetrate to the innermost perception. (emotions only)
For all those things which are unconnected with words, (just speaking in tongues)
that is, pleasant sounds of the air and of strings,
may be easily disregarded, because they do not adhere to us, and cannot be written...
1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood,
how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
Is God, therefore, the contriver both of the mind, and of the voice, and of the tongues, unable to speak eloquently? Yea, rather, with the greatest foresight,
This: He wished those things which are divine to be without adornment, [Kosmos or Cosmos]
that all might understand the things which He Himself spoke to all."
Therefore God made all things to supply a contest between two things.
Not This: Those enticements of pleasures, then, are the instruments [carnal weapons, lifeless instruments] of that whose only business it is to subdue virtue,
and to shut out justice from men.
With these soothing influences and enjoyments it captivates their souls;
for it knows that pleasure is the contriver of death
Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1102b.1 But there also appears to be another element in the soul,
which, though irrational, yet in a manner participates in rational principle.
In self-restrained and unrestrained1 people we approve their principle,
or the rational part of their souls, because it urges them in the right way and exhorts them to the best course; but their nature seems also to contain another element beside that of rational principle, which combats and resists that principle.
[16] Exactly the same thing may take place in the soul as occurs with the body in a case of paralysis: when the patient wills to move his limbs to the right
LITERATE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THE REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE:
Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1102b.20 they swerve to the left; and similarly in unrestrained persons their impulses run counter to their principle. But whereas in the body we see the erratic member, in the case of the soul we do not see it;
nevertheless it cannot be doubted that in the soul also there is an element beside that of principle,
which opposes and runs counter to principle (though in what sense the two are distinct does not concern us here). [17]
But this second element also seems, as we said, to participate in rational principle;
at least in the self-restrained man it obeys the behest of principle—
and no doubt in the temperate and brave man it is still more amenable,
for all parts of his nature are in harmony with principle. [18]
1 According to the psychology here expounded, the intellect ‘has a plan or principle,’ in the sense of understanding principle, and being able to reason and make a plan: in other words, it is fully rational. The part of man's nature ‘has a plan or principle’ in so far as it is capable of following or obeying a principle.
It happens that this relationship of following or obeying can itself be expressed by the words
to have logos’ in another sense of that phrase, viz. ‘to take account of, pay heed to.’
To be precise the writer should say that the part logon ekhei tou logou ‘has logos (takes account) of the logos.’ The phrase has yet a third sense in mathematics, where “to have logos” (ratio) means ‘to be rational’ in the sense of commensurable.

Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1175b.1
But things that are akin to things of different kinds must themselves differ in kind.
[3] A still clearer proof may be drawn
from the hindrance that activities
receive from the pleasure derived from other activities.
For instance, persons fond of the flute
cannot give their attention to a philosophical discussion [The LOGOS or Regulative Principle]
when they overhear someone playing the flute,
because they enjoy music more than the activity in which they are engaged;
therefore the pleasure afforded by the music of the flute
impairs the activity of study.
[4] The same thing occurs in other cases when a man tries to do two things at once; the pleasanter activity drives out the other, the more so if it is much more pleasant, until the other activity ceases altogether.
Hence, when we enjoy something very much, we can hardly do anything else; and when we find a thing only mildly agreeable, we turn to some other occupation; for instance, people who eat sweets at the theater do so especially when the acting is bad.
[ 5] And since our activities [of the flute] are sharpened, prolonged and improved by their own pleasure, and impaired by the pleasures of other activities, it is clear that pleasures differ widely from each other. In fact alien pleasures have almost the same effect on the activities as their own pains; since,
when an activity causes pain, this pain destroys it,
for instance, if a person finds writing or doing sums unpleasant and irksome;
for he stops writing or doing sums, because the activity is painful.
Arnobius, Heresies IV 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 ares so much akin to soothsayers [Levites], relate that, in their incantations, pretended 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,- why should we not similarly believe that here, too, others substitute themselves for those who are not, that they may both strengthen your superstitious beliefs, and rejoice that victims are slain in sacrifice to them under names not their own?
33. Your gods, it is recorded, dine on celestial couches, and in golden chambers, drink,
and are at last soothed by the music of the lyre, and singing .
You fit them with ears not easily wearied;
and do not think it unseemly to assign to the gods
the pleasures by which earthly bodies are supported,
and which are sought after by ears enervated by the frivolity of an unmanly spirit.
The Jazz History Tree
In much of Africa, certain drums symbolize and protect royalty and are often housed in sacred dwellings
During the early years of slavery in America, drums were used to provide rhythm, but they were banned by the early 1700s on most plantations because of the fear that Africans would use them to communicate in a rebellion. Nevertheless, Africans managed to generate percussion and percussive sounds, using other instruments or their own bodies. The drum remains an essential element of the music to this day. As James Brown would say, “Give the drummer some!”
Have you ever wondered why some ancient armies used war drums to march into battle? Was it just a way to keep the rhythm, or was there more to it? Well, it turns out that war drums were not only a musical instrument, but also a powerful weapon of psychological warfare.
The Power of Music
7. Sue Hallam concludes that "(while) there is little hard evidence regarding the extent to which music directly influences self-directed behaviour, we do know that music can influence our moods and some aspects of our behaviour in ways which may be outside our conscious awareness." She then embarks on a fascinating summary of the neurological aspects of musical processing.
Thus music can be experienced physiologically (eg changes in heart rate); through movement; through mood and emotion; and cognitively (through knowledge and memories).
The fact that music is processed in many ways and has physical, emotional and cognitive effects may, in Sue Hallam's view, be the key to its power.
8. Sue Hallam infers from those findings "that some fairly primitive brain mechanisms are involved in at least some of our responses to music". Not unconnected to that conclusion is the way that different musical skills can operate independently: this is illustrated by the way that we can know and recognise a piece of music which we hear
