INTRODUCTION

In this book , let's talk about music, and how Satan manages to persuade people to sing to him instead of singing to God.

Music is the art of agreeably combining sounds. It has existed since ancient times (Gen 4:21). Music was used to commemorate victories (Ex 15.1-21; Judg 5) and on other occasions, such as festivals (2 Sam 19.35), weddings (Jr 7.34) and burials (Mt 9.23). It was sometimes accompanied by dancing (Ex 15:20; 1 Sam 18:6-7; Mt 11:17). David and Solomon contributed to the development of choral and instrumental music in Israel (1 Chr 6:31-48; 2 Chr 29:25). Stringed instruments were used (harp, lyre, psaltery); wind (flute, harmonica, metal or horn trumpet [horn]); and percussion (adufe, cymbal, tambourine, drum, tambourine). Singing, both in unison and choral form, and instrumental music had their place in the worship and religious life

of the OT and NT people of God (1 Chr 16:4-7,37; Is 51:3; Mt 26:30; Eph 5:19; Col 3.16).

CHAPTER 1

Music divisions :

The sound material used by music is traditionally divided according to three organizational elements: Melody, Harmony and Rhythm.

At the base of music, two elements are fundamental: sound and time. Everything in music is a function of these two elements.

The rhythm. it is the organizing element, often associated with the horizontal dimension and the one most directly related to time (duration) and intensity, as if it were the basic outline of music over time. Rhythm, in this sense, are the sounds and silences that succeed each ot her temporally, each sound with its own duration and intensity, each silence (the null intensity) with its duration.

The second organization can be visually conceived as the vertical dimension. Hence the name height given to this characteristic of sound. The most acute, with the highest frequency, is said to be louder. The most serious is the lowest. The organizational element associated with pitches is melody .

According to the sacred scriptures Lucifer was the first drummer in the universe Ez 28.13, and throughout history the drums and their rhythms open doors to the parallel world, uniting the physical world of

men to the sacred, African religious and pagan traditions have an intimate connection with the beats and the drum is a key and an important link to the occult, and the battery that is a set of drums and was one of the main elements for the creation of the most controversial and occult musical genre in history, rock, more like an instrument that by many and consecrated pagan religions and cultures has entered the evangelical churches, as everywhere you look on the planet people are using the drums to alter consciousness behind a link with the occult.

As well as the use of other instruments such as piano, guitar and organ that were not allowed in the liturgy but today are already part of the celebration, the modern drums for being basically drums and a very controversial subject regarding their use in Christian churches and incredible dust that it seems until today that many churches still do not

use them in worship, because according to researchers, theologians and anthropologists, the sacred scriptures of Christianity are very clear about not using drums in the worship of God, since according to them the devil himself was the first to use and manifest the drums , and for being an instrument that was and still is widely used by African religions and pagan cultures across the planet that use the mystical occultism of beats and rhythms to enter into a trance and obtain direct contact with entities, gods and demons, but also there is the other side of the story where pastors and musicians say that there is nothing in the bible that prohibits the use of drums in worship and that the psalms guide praising the Lord with all kinds of instruments, including drums and drums, but who is right, going deeper into religions and the bible and the work of researchers and anthropologists and in the testimony of Christi an musicians, we end up discovering facts that seem to they will come out of very epic fantasy stories, but they make a lot of sense for everything that is happening in the world today.

Music penetrates directly into our nervous system quickly and immediately, in addition to modifying human behavior, in a religious context music is divided into three parts just like the human being and the holy trinity, the parts of music are: melody that is linked to the spirit, harmony linked to the soul and rhythm linked to the body, the rhythm in turn is the key point for the controversy because it is through the drums that the rhythms and dances of the native ceremonies and rituals of religions of the Africa and culture around the world trance and possession is the intended objective through ritual music generated basically only with drums and songs, according to anthropologist and researcher Francisco Sparta, who studies Afro religions in pre- biblical Asia and Afro-Brazilian religions, states that music and dance are the main factors and phenomena of possession that are observed in these magical cults the violent rhythm of the drums and the endless repetition of the chants produce a fatigue of attention and consequently the deadening of consciousness that leads initiates to a true state of hypnosis, trance or possession, the greatest historian of religions of the 20th century, the Romanian Mircea Eliade, maintains the same idea, according to him, mystical knowledge in primitive religions is always associated to shamanic ecstasy, that is, to a possessive trance,

researcher Willam Sargant, in a symposium on transcultural psychiatry, argued about the washing of the brain as an effect of the percussive music of rituals caused by the cadence and the beating of drums, a nd the most bizarre thing, he also concluded that according to the neuroscience the beats and heavy rhythms of the rock musical genre

where the drums play a fundamental role can cause effects similar to the trance of the percussive music of pagan rituals, according to these researchers, ancient religions and native cults are full of this idea of contact with spirits and embodiments of deities and that these practices f oram clearly forbidden by God to Israel because they were so common and widespread in the ancient world and that many Christians ignore this mystical side of drums despite the clear relationship between the instrument and the trance or phenomenon of demonic possession they also claim that in the bible the use of drums and mentioned several tim es being used by the servants of God after great victories and mainly in the book of psalms that encourages praising God with harps and timbrels which is a kind of square tambourine more that these same servants of God also used strong drinks , had more than one wife and kept slaves among other things and after study and reflections the Christian religion was eliminating these practices and this should also be applied to the use of drums plus the main argument that anthropologists and researchers use for banning the drum in the church is in the book of Ezekiel 38:13 which talks about the relationship between lucifer and the drums.

You were in Eden, the garden of God; of every precious stone was your covering: sardonyx, topaz, diamond, turquoise, onyx, jaspe r, sapphire, carbuncle, emerald and gold; in you your drums and your pipes were made ; on the day you were created they were prepared.

Summarizing the sacred scriptures says that the work of drums was in Lucifer and thus the Devil, Satan was the first to use the drum, he was the first great percussionist in history, there is also an even more interesting and magnificent context about the drums and the supernatural, this time turned to the holy universe of God, and everything starts at the moment of creation and ends with you there, who are watching this comment.

A musician's analogy of Lucifer: "If the drums were in it, I

imagine in heaven something tribal the drums playing and the angels saying, holy, holy, holy, but imagine Lucifer and a third part being kicked out of heaven because he wanted to. to be equal to God, and the silence that remained there, there was no more drum, I imagine him down here some time later, he listens to the spectacle of there is light, there is the firmament, I imagine Lucifer calling the third part of the angels and speaking, look there God is lacking, there is no more drum, there is no more music, I imagine later God making man, and lucifer asks oh majesty what is it that you are building, that doll over there? I imagine God speaking like this, this one here I'm going to call the temple of the Holy Spirit, I'm going to live inside it, this one here is going to play, it's going to play fank, it's going to play pagoda, it's going to play thrash metal, and at the end of life it's going to tell me I want to be baptized, I want a new life, and I'm going to look at him and say, it's just that everything has become new, old things have passed away, he's going to have a new life, I'm going to dwell inside him, no more than you. And Lucifer says ok, but he doesn't have what I have, God says what do you have? I imagine lucifer opening his chest and saying he doesn't have the drums, and God says, there's the drum, and God blows people's noses. There is a device called a stethoscope, our body is 70% liquid and our heart has the sound of a drum, God put the drum inside us, and

it is beating 24 hours a day, and what are we doing? are you using that drum that is beating 24 hours a day to worship him? or when you take the chalice of supper, it is the greatest weight of so much sin, our drum, the heart is beating 24 hours a day, and the drum is announcing war all the time, the Bible says that our war is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, this is the spiritual world, and the music is in the spiritual world, and the person who does not believe in anything, whether he believes or not the music is something spiritual, and seeing the book of Ezekiel 28.13 says that the drums were in it, when a person goes to Africa the instrument is a drum, in Japan the big festivals that have wool, there is a ritual where shirtless men with bamboo beat the 60-inch drum, in carnival it is a chip at most, the rest is a drum, everything is drums, you go to Cuba and drums, so if the fight is
