The Chief Musician
I believe our current world often times echoes a greater and more real existence, which is the spiritual realm. That is, events and circumstances which reveal themselves in this world are reflections of Heaven. For instance, the temples of the Israelites starting with the tabernacle in the wilderness, to the temple of Solomon, and finally to the future temple of Ezekiel are but shadows of the true heavenly temple shown in Revelation 11:19,
“And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
Earthly things testify of heavenly realities.
There is war in Heaven and this conflict between God and His angels and Satan and her demons reveals themselves in earthly wars.
Gods says,
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven”
Revelation 12:7,8,
The war that currently rages in heaven manifests or reveals itself in the wars that have been fought, are being fought, and will be fought here on earth. The struggle is for the eternal souls of men.
Demons walk among us
Criminals who do terrible things to innocent victims are motivated by demons who posses and control them. Devils are waging war upon mankind through these agents of Satan that yield their minds and bodies as they carry out the will of evil spirits.
Different types of media, depicting graphic scenes of violence, are another way in which demons reveal what is in their mind to do to the helpless. Remember, the people who make these graphically violent visual programs have to actually sit down and imagine what will be more shocking and evil to their viewing audience than last week. Where do you think they get the inspiration to create such utterly evil scenarios? Yes, people are clever, but those at the pinnacle of their craft are anointed and spirit led by dark forces that channel through them.
The Chief Musician: I write the songs
God says,
“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.”
Ezekiel 28:11-13
Although the prophet Ezekiel speaks about the King of Tyrus his words go well beyond describing a mere man when he declares, “Thou has been in Eden…” In fact, Ezekiel begins to talk about Lucifer, son of the morning, and describes her perfect beauty and pride.
God says,
“Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.”
And again,
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit”
Isaiah 14:12-15
Many prophecies and revelations do have first application to real people and events such as the king of Tyre. Yet, this kingdoms reflects the power actually behind it, i.e. Satan. Therefore, what is said about them is also true about Lucifer. Ungodly dominions on earth are shadows of the demonic principalities and powers in heavenly places that control and empower them.
Comfortably Numb
I happened upon a televised concert of a rock and roll legend the other day. I saw one person, surrounded by a golden stage, bathed in fantastical light effects with tens of thousands of people cheering and screaming as he played. I saw, in that performance, an echo of what is left of the chief musician of God. You see Lucifer still loves to be the center of attention. In such situations she receives worship from those who marvel at her beauty and skill with music.
The spirit behind such music is none other than the “bright and shining one” herself and it is she who energizes those whom we call “Rock Legends” and grants them their inspiration. Lucifer possesses many musicians when they perform, and it is she who receives worship through adoring masses of people moved by her music. Here are the lyrics from “I Write The Songs”. The words and Music are by Bruce Johnston and sung by Barry Manilow.
Verse 1
“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
Verse 2
My home lies deep within you
And I’ve got my own place in your soul
Now, when I look out through your eyes
I’m young again, even though I’m very old
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
Bridge
Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock ‘n’ roll so you can move
Music fills your heart
Well, that’s a real fine place to start
It’s from me it’s for you
It’s from you, it’s for me
It’s a worldwide symphony
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
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
Tab
I am Music and I write the songs”
If you substitute “Lucifer” for the word “Music” in the last line of the song then you have the complete picture.
“I am Lucifer and I write the songs”
(Music is capitalized in the lyrics denoting person, place, or thing.)
