Exploring Music and singing in the Bible

In the Bible it said that we Should praise the Lord and sing praises to his name on high.
Here are some bible verses about it.

  • Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
  • Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
  • Psalm 95:1-3 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
  • Psalm 104:33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
  • Psalm105:1-3 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
  • Psalm150 :1-6 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high-sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
  • Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
  • 2 Chronicle 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.

All of these verses say that we should praise the Lord if we don’t the trees, hills, mountains.
and Rocks will, Praise the Lord.

  • Luke 19:37-40 in this verse Jesus said that if the people don’t praise the Lord, the rocks will [stones =rock millstone, stumbling stone]
  • Isaiah 55:11 in this verse it said that the. hills mountains and trees will praise the Lord the and trees will crap their hands and the mountains and hills will sing praise to the Lord God!

Important Words:

  • Hills: is a landform it can be little or big
  • Mountains: higher than a hill landform

Now we look are, going to seeing what it Mean when it is and the mountains and hills will sing in Isaiah 55:12 back we went through, what it means when it said the tree will clap their hand, after that, I will also go over what it means when Jesus said if the people hold there Praise the rock will cry out.

  • Trees will clap their hands:  H4222 – māḥā’ A primitive root; to rub or strike there hands together in Exultation Clap
  • The mountains and hills will sing aloud Isaish 55:12 H7440; properly a creaking,
  • Shout [usually for joy] aloud for joy cry, gladness, [or shrill Sound] Sing, Singing
  • The Rock will Cry out Luke 19:110 G2896 – Primary verb; properly to “creak” [as a raven] a scream, i.e. [generally intreat]: cry [out]. to call aloud [shriek, exclaim]

  • Hymns & Spiritual song Colossians 3:16 and in Acts 16:25 said that Paul & Silas Song hymns and praise to God.
  • Drunkard’s Song Psalm 69:12
    • This is a Psalm of David he was talking about drunk people singing and laughing.
  • Demonic music: Is not a good kind of music, it often has bad words in it, and it can make, you do evil things.
  • Evil Woman’s Music, Isaiah 23:15-17 In this verse, it says that a woman called the Harlot named Tyre goes around the city Singing

There is one more I want to talk about the Lord Angels praise God, in the Bible and sing songs to him
Angels praise God Luke 2:13-14. In this verse they talk and sing about Baby Jesus being born and the angels telling the Shepherds that Jesus, Christ was born.

Different Styles of Music
There are 12 main styles of music that I will name here:

  • Hymns
  • Praise Music
  • Kids Bible Songs
  • Country Western
  • Folk
  • Classical
  • Jazz
  • Old Rock
  • New Rock
  • Blues
  • Latin American
  • Hip-Hop Rap

Whatever style of music that you like, make sure that it honors God.

Just a note

Back then they did not have microphones, so everywhere that it says to “shout to the Lord” it just means to proclaim claim publicly. They probably did not think some people would eventually invent the microphone and people would shout into it.

The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad Chapter 8: Old Mr. Toad’s Babies

Old Mr. Toad’s Babies

The Smiling Pool’s a nursery
Where all the sunny day
A thousand funny babies
Are taught while at their play.

Really the Smiling Pool is a sort of kindergarten, one of the most interesting kindergartens in the world.  Little Joe Otter’s children learn to swim there.  So do Jerry Muskrat’s babies and those of Billy Mink, the Trout and Minnow babies, and a lot more.  And there you will find the children and grandchildren of Grandfather Frog and Old Mr. Toad.

Peter Rabbit had known for a long time about the Frog babies, but though he knew that Old Mr. Toad was own cousin to Grandfather Frog, he hadn’t known anything about Toad babies, except that at a certain time in the year he was forever running across tiny Toads, especially on rainy days, and each little Toad was just like Old Mr. Toad, except for his size.  Peter had heard it said that Toads rain down from the sky, and sometimes it seems as if this must be so.  Of course he knew it couldn’t be, but it puzzled him a great deal.  There wouldn’t be a Toad in sight.  Then it would begin to rain, and right away there would be so many tiny Toads that it was hard work to jump without stepping on some.

He remembered this as he went to pay his daily call on Old Mr. Toad in the Smiling Pool and listen to his sweet song.  He hadn’t seen any little Toads this year, but he remembered his experiences with them in other years, and he meant to ask about them.

Old Mr. Toad was sitting in his usual place, but he wasn’t singing.  He was staring at something in the water.  When Peter said “Good morning,” Old Mr. Toad didn’t seem to hear him.  He was too much interested in what he was watching.  Peter stared down into the water to see what was interesting Old Mr. Toad so much, but he saw nothing but a lot of wriggling tadpoles.

“What are you staring at so, Mr. Sobersides?” asked Peter, speaking a little louder than before.

Old Mr. Toad turned and looked at Peter, and there was a look of great pride in his face.  “I’m just watching my babies.  Aren’t they lovely?” said he.

Peter stared harder than ever, but he couldn’t see anything that looked like a baby Toad.

“Where are they?” asked he.  “I don’t see any babies but those of Grandfather Frog, and if you ask me, I always did think tadpoles about the homeliest things in th’ world.”

Old Mr. Toad grew indignant.  “Those are not Grandfather Frog’s children; they’re mine!” he sputtered.  “And I’ll have you know that they are the most beautiful babies in th’ world!”

Peter drew a hand across his mouth to hide a smile.  “I beg your pardon, Mr. Toad,” said he.  “I- ­I thought all tadpoles were Frog babies.  They all look alike to me.”

“Well, they’re not,” declared Old Mr. Toad.  “How any one can mistake my babies for their cousins I cannot understand.  Now mine are beautiful, while ”

“Chug-arum!” interrupted the great deep voice of Grandfather Frog.  “What are you talking about?  Why, your babies are no more to be compared with my babies for real beauty than nothing at all!  I’ll leave it to Peter if they are.”

But Peter wisely held his tongue.  To tell the truth, he couldn’t see beauty in any of them.  To him they were all just wriggling pollywogs.  They were more interesting now, because he had found out that some of them were Toads and some were Frogs, and he hadn’t known before that baby Toads begin life as tadpoles, but he had no intention of being drawn into the dispute now waxing furious between Grandfather Frog and Old Mr. Toad.

    • This online textbook does not teach that God created the world in six days. It will speak of millions of years. You aren’t expected to take that as fact. You won’t be learning about this, but it mentions evolution, the hypothesis that all living things came from a single-cell organism that mutated and changed and developed into something else. That’s why people call primates our ancestors. They say they changed little by little until they became human. It takes a lot more faith to believe amazing things like DNA and the human eye were made by accident than to believe our incredible world was designed. I call it a hypothesis because it has never been observed happening and therefore cannot be called scientific theory, let alone fact.
    • Watch the video on the introduction to the characteristics of life. You can also watch this cell video. You can jump 40 seconds into it. You don’t need to know all these words, but it’s kind of fascinating watching it all work. It can give you some images in your mind for when you are learning about these things.
