WORSHIP COMPLIANT MUSIC

DANIEL 3:5

[NKJV] — that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up;

[FBV] — As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of musical instruments, you must fall to the ground and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.

The construction was built to turn all kinds of musical sounds into "worship compliant" even if they are not worship songs or worship sounds. But the instruction was made to force all men into worshiping the king's golden/glorious image, which the king had highly exalted.

To us, there are few differences in instruction and construction:

*1* Instead of "At the sound of every music" in the Bible verse above, — to us it is "At the mention of the name of "Jesus Christ" in the Bible verse below.

*2* Instead of "Every one must bow to worship the gold image Nebuchadnezzar the king highly exalted or setup" as in the Bible verse above, — to us it is "Every knee shall bow to the true living Image/Son of God (Jesus Christ) whom God highly exalted and gave a Name above all names, (this applies to all things in heaven, under the heavens and on earth); and every tongue must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father" as in Bible verse below.

[Philippians 2:9‭-‬11 NKJV] — Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.



Therefore I emphasize, based on the top Bible verse above that, "Worship can be commanded but not demanded:" Both Nebuchadnezzar, some other kings, and God Himself, have commanded worship by force and worshippers to worship "something else" or "someone else" but did not demand being worshipped by force. Worship is like Love: You don't demand it for yourself but command it for someone else. It's another person that will command or instruct others to love you or worship you, not you demanding it by force for your own self. Let your grace, attractions, virtues, evidence or messengers, command people to love you: but you concentrate on loving God and loving others apart from your own self.

Remember, Worship God or Love God is a commandment, even the greatest of commandments is to love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength and being. But usually it's either a man of God or angel of God that would be saying this to you, not God saying it directly to you as if He's asking you to "Love Me" (First Person Pronoun). The closest to that is God commanding us or angels to worship or love His Son, Jesus Christ. As it is written,

[Hebrews 1:6 BSB'19] — "And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”"

[Psalms 45:11 GW] — "The king longs for your beauty. He is your Lord. Worship Him."

And yet closest to that is the Lord Jesus Christ using "the Son" instead of using "Me" while indirectly asking men to honor Him.

[John 5:23] — "That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father who has sent Him."


I also emphasize based on the top Bible verse above that all musical instruments and sounds did not have to be worship songs and yet serve as "Worship Alarm" or "Worship Anthem" to that idol or to the devils even without lyrics.

Not all songs or musical sounds are worship songs among the true churches; but just those songs or sounds that come with lyrics, spoken words, bitrates, and sounds, that express worship, bowing down and giving oneself to God and to His Son in holiness and love.

You may have heard some songs that are called gospel or worship songs among Christians, but those songs have the bitrates and instrumental sounds of worldly music except the lyrics or wordings were changed into christian gospel or worship songs. Why should you use the combination bit sounds of secular or worldly music to serve as platform for your worship songs to God? No, don't. For even the bitrates, sound tempo, and structure of the music sounds, could already have been structured to glorify Satan or certain evil spirit.

My point is that even sounds, without lyrics or wordings, are connected to spirits, as in, either inviting or expelling spirits. Recall, David was just playing music sounds with harp, without any lyrics or spoken words, and that instrumental sounds alone from David's playing casted out evil spirit or demons from the anointed king or leader of God's Church (Israel). And evil spirits are cast out by the presence of Holy Spirit, meaning the Spirit of God was taking over from the evil spirits while David played sounds without lyrics.

So there are certain ways the sounds or beatings of Gospel/Worship music must go or must not go to qualify as worship to God or true gospel anthem apart from the lyrics. Infact, some keyboards already have pre-recorded sounds classified as, Disco, Reggae, Bluez, Classical, Rock, Funeral, etc sound modes. That's to tell you each sounds have calibrations that speak in tongues with meanings either to God, spirits, devils or prophecies.

It's easier for all kinds of music sounds to inspire worship to idols, gold (money) or anything else, apart from worshiping the true God, as in the top Bible verse above. True worship songs to the true God have instrumentals and lyrics that are inspirational, spiritual, seasoned with salt, and sanctification of the Holy Spirit of Truth.


Lastly, I emphasize based on the top Bible verse above that it was the Image of God (Son of God - Jesus Christ) that came to deliver those who refused to bow and worship the image statue of Nebuchadnezzar the king of kings then. When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, defied the king and rejected the worship of the king's image, they were cast into the furnace of fire. While they were there, Nebuchadnezzar the king saw with them the Image of God whom he referred to as "The Son of God" or "Son of gods" or the "Fourth Person."

The Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, is He whom God has commanded us to bow down to worship and to confess Him as Lord. Never bow down to image of gold.

And as the Son of God, true Image of God to be worshipped, came to save those who would never bow down to another king's image, gold or fire, so will the Son of God come to save those who will not bow down to the image of the beast (antichrist) or his mark which the false prophet set up.
