Continuing the series, we take you on a quick Music journey.
On this journey, I found out from my research some interesting revelations about the origin of MUSIC. (Take note of the highlighted words)
* The origin of music itself is veryDIFFICULT to determine because in all PROBABILITY, it is likely to have begun with singing,clapping or beating the hands... for which no definite record can be found.

Music is everywhere. We can't escape it. It's difficult to say when music began...PREHISTORIC DRAWINGS on cave walls depict both ANIMALS and PEOPLE.

* Music MAY have been in existence for at least 55,000 years and the first music may have been invented in Africa.

* The oldest musical instrument ever discovered is believed to be flute.With others forms like drum&other percussion instruments.
* In the Greek world, Music(mousike) covered not only music but also dance, lyrics & performance poetry.
For the ancient Greeks, music was viewed as a gift from the 'gods'. Specific instruments is attributed to particular deities: Hermes the lyre , Pan the syrinx (panpipes) and Athena the aulos (flute).

THERE ARE MANY SOURCES BUT A LOOK AT THESE SUGGEST WHERE THE WORLD LEADS US TO.
A STATE OF UNCERTAINTY,CONFUSION&WRONG BELIEFS.
A STATE OF UNCERTAINTY,CONFUSION&WRONG BELIEFS.
(This also relates to the belief&existence of GOD )
This is why we started right from the source(God&his word) in the first 2 parts of this Music Series.
Therefore as said, the first reference to Music was inGen.28:21.Jubal a descendants of Adam was called 'the father of lyre &pipe.
However, scripture tells us Music existed before Adam.
In Job 38:4 &7 God asked Job, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?... “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
In Job 38:4 &7 God asked Job, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?... “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
This clearly settles it for us... to know that Music is from GOD &he uses it to channel a lot about the Christian faith to us.
SO I SAY:
THE WAY IS NOW CLEARED....STAGE SET...WE NOW GET TO WHAT MUSIC REALLY IS.
