Sep 27, 2008 · God himself wants them together. That’s why he tells us in Psalm 147:1, “Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.”. God didn’t intend that music supersede the Word or that music undermine the Word. He gave us music to serve the Word.

It appears God created angels to be musical. The Bible mentions that at the creation “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy” (Job 38:7). Both “the morning stars” and “the sons of God” are references to the angels. There was singing going on at the creation of the physical universe!

David is the most famous musician in the Bible. When he was young, David played music to soothe King Saul when he was afflicted with a distressing spirit (1 Samuel 16:23).

Now let’s take a brief tour of music in the New Testament. Music was used for celebrations in New Testament times as well, as in the parable of the prodigal son, where the father called for a special meal with music and dancing when his lost son returned home (Luke 15:25). We’re told the apostle Paul even sang in prison at midnight! “But at midnigh...
And music plays a big part in Bible prophecy. Let’s look at a few of the many prophecies about the return of Jesus Christ and the 1,000-year Millennium that mention music. The end of Isaiah 11 talks about the time just after the return of Christ when God will gather the tribes of Israel—the outcasts, the captives, the remnant—from the four corners ...
One of the most exciting prophecies about music is found in Zephaniah 3:17. Verse 14 starts the section with a similar message to what we just read in Zechariah, saying “Sing,O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!” Verse 17 is the capstone. Throughout this article, we have read of peop...

Life started when God formed the Heavens and the earth, then ...
