Lucifer is a fallen angel who was the head of the ministry of music in Heaven when he was in heaven. It has been said of him he was the most beautiful of ALL angels and he was the director of the flow of music there (Praise and Worship).
Of course, now he no longer is….. but there are several scriptural references throughout the bible the denote his previous authority over music when he was in heaven. One is Isa.14:11 – “Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.”
This verse right here is speaking of his fall from heaven, and how all of the glory he had, and the gifts he had fell with him. The noise of thy viols indicates the stringed instruments he had charge over. But yes, actually throughout the bible in passages in the books of Ezekiel, Job, Isaiah, even Psalms upon speaking of his past life…it tells us he was the minister of music there. Of course he no longer is now though.
Lucifer means morning star.
Job 38:7 – When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy
Lucifer was basically a walking talking musical instrument.
Ezekiel 28:13 - 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 TIMBRELS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering CHERUB, from the midst of the stones of fire.
These were the same words that were speoken of lucifer in
Isaiah 14:11-14
(11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the NOISE OF YOUR HARPS; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.)-(New International Version)
King James Version
12 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!
13 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:
17 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
Seraphim
The Seraphim (singular “Seraph”), mentioned in Isaiah 6:1-7 , serve as the caretakers of God’s throne and continuously singing his praises: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. All the earth is filled with His Glory.” It is said that they surround the throne of God, singing the music of the spheres and regulating the movement of the heavens as it emanates from God. It is also said that such a bright light emanates from them that nothing, not even other divine beings, can look upon them. It is said that there are four of them surrounding God’s throne, where they burn eternally from love and zeal for God.
The Seraphim have six wings; two covering their face, two covering their feet, and two that they fly with.
Unlike other Seraphim who had six wings, Lucifer was featured to have twelve wings.
Cherubim
The Cherubim (singular “Cherub”) are beyond the throne of God; they are the guardians of light and of the stars. It is believed that, although they are removed from man’s plane of reality, the divine light that they filter down from Heaven still touches the lives of living things.
They have four faces: one of a man, ox, lion, and eagle. The ox-face is considered the “true face”, as later on in Ezekiel the ox’s face is called a cherub’s face (Chapter 10). They have eight conjoined wings covered with eyes, and they have ox’s feet.
Cherubim are considered the elect beings for the purpose of protection. Cherubim guard Eden and the throne of God.
Their rank among angels is uncertain but they are always categorized in the First Sphere. Some believe them to be an order or class of angels; others hold them to be a class of heavenly beings higher than angels. Cherubim are said to have perfect knowledge of God, surpassed only by the love of the Seraphim.
The Cherubim are mentioned in Genesis 3:24 ; Ezekiel 10:17-20 ; and 1 Kings 6:23-28 .
Since Lucifer/beelzebub seemed to have been greater than the other beings, he is thought to be the chief of music.
Conclusion:-
So it is obvious that Lucifer, at the very least, contained something akin to musical instruments – the tambourine, the flute, and the harp all within the confines of his own body. Since Lucifer is a created being, he was originally created with instruments to provide beautiful music for none other than the glorification of God. Lucifer, being the most authoritative and superior angel that he was, at best, was also probably the angel of music.
The point of this study is to see, purely from a theological view, if in fact Satan has a connection with and a direct influence on music, which has become undoubtedly clear that he does. We must remember that some, not all music, can come from evil sources no matter how lovely, beautiful or pleasing it may sound to the ears. For we know that the devil can masquerade as an angel of light (II Corinthians 11:14). Music, I believe, has a twofold purpose. To glorify God or not, it’s as simple as that. As we have seen, music was initially created for that purpose up until Satan’s rebellion. What he has done with music from that point on becomes a whole other issue.
I had myself quite an impressive CD collection of music ranging from punk rock to disco, alternative music to mainstream pop, new wave to industrial techno music. Often times, I provided my music to local nightclubs and often DJ’d at parties and get-togethers. This was music that I believe was heavily influenced by Satan. The lyrics to most of these songs are not worth repeating. Some of which spoke of and glorified violence, sex, drunkenness, drugs, etc. Then one day I came across an intriguing Christian video speaking out about the Satanic influences of music in our pop-culture today. The video spoke about how today’s ungodly music, worms it’s way into our homes, our cars, and ultimately influencing our hearts and minds. There have even been scientific studies proving the fact that music severely influences our psyche and the outcome of our behavior is contingent upon the type of music we choose to listen to. It was shortly after this discovery that I was led to rid myself of this music that I had in my possession. Imagine burning over 200 CD’s!!!
On the other side of this issue, I wish to clarify that there is plenty of godly and praiseworthy music worth mentioning that exists within our society, music from artists whose sole purpose is to honor and glorify God with talent that the Lord has endowed them with. Not all music, secular or not, is inherently evil. Just as Satan has an influence on music, so God has His influence on music as well, and even more so. It has been a historically proven fact that Christ has been the subject of more songs, music, stories, poetry, prose, screenplays, literature, art, etc. than any other subject in the history of mankind.
Christ has been the influencing source behind such famous and talented musical artists as: Handel, Bach, Pachelbel, John and Charles Wesley, Michael W. Smith, Rich Mullins, and many others, not to mention the many talented worship teams that exist within the Body of Christ. As with anything in life, it is up to our own discretion and spiritual discernment to decide what is and is not appropriate for our listening pleasure. It is also up to us as parents to set standards and to monitor what our kids are listening to. What goes in the body is what comes out through the way in which we live our lives.
He went on: “What comes out of a man is what makes him `unclean.’ For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery. – (Mark 7:20-21)
So ask yourself, “Do I know what kind of music I’m listening to?”
Better yet, “Do I know what kind of music my kids are listening to?”

Good Work again!
I’ve also heard abt this before… but havnt heard this much…Enigma is an example rite?
Ya…Enigma is sth of that sort…
There is another technique called Backmasking (also known as backward masking), which is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal may be unintentional.
Backmasking was popularized by ‘The Beatles’, who used backward vocals and instrumentation on their 1966 album ‘Revolver’. Artists have since used backmasking for artistic, comedic, and satiric effect, on both analog and digital recordings. The technique has also been used to censor words or phrases for “clean” releases of songs.
Backmasking has been a controversial topic in the United States since the 1980s, when allegations from Christian groups of its use for Satanic purposes were made against prominent rock musicians, leading to record-burning protests and proposed anti-backmasking legislation by state and federal governments. Whether backmasked messages exist is in debate, as is whether backmasking can be used subliminally to affect listeners.
nice contents……
Interesting! I never heard about the idea that the devil was a lead singer. But if you listen to rap or hard rock, you’ll hear his voice in the lyrics! I too was a rock fan when I was young (50’s & 60’s), but when I was converted and returned to the Faith, I gave up listening to that stuff. My favorite music is Gregorian Chant & Sacred Classical Music like Bach, etc.
Blessings from Florida!

Praise be! I am a minister of music and yes, Lucifer stays BUSY wthin the life of the worship and praise experience for those who seek fame & fortune as opposed to GOD’s favor. There remain MANY who still do not acknowledge that praise & worship were once the resposiblity of Lucifer…now is the time to take back all the “stuff’ the devil’s stolen and use it to advance GOD’s kingdom…be it rap, classical, rock, spoken word, spirituals, gospel, etc….let him and his unheavenly hosts know that we will not lose!
While I agree on some of what you have to say, as a Berean I have to say that to say that he was the chief of music or that he had musical instruments in his body is ignorant, and is a twisting of scripture. Go back and re-read those scriptures. They say nothing of the sort. As Christians we need to stop twisting scripture. The world already thinks we’re ignorant enough.
As for rock and hip hop having ‘his voice’ in it, that is even more ignorant. So you’re telling me that all the christian rock and heavy metal bands that influenced my salvation contained the voice of satan? Are you serious? That people like LeCrae, T-Bone, John Reuben and Gospel Gangstaz contain the voice of satan just because it’s a style you don’t like? Even though they’re more up in your face evangelistic than all the mealy mouthed contemporary artists who are afraid to say the name of Jesus? Give me a break.
We need to stop giving so much glory to satan. GOD……created music. It is HIS. All of it. And it needs to be reclaimed to His glory, whether you personally like the style or not, and whether or not the style reminds you of your old days at the club. If you can’t be strong enough to hear a song without wanting to go out and tie one on, then maybe it’s time for you to check yourself and your relationship with God, because nothing but nothing should come between you and Him.
To whom this may concern.
I am asking permission to use this image “Lucifer Angel of Music” to colourize it and use it.
Please reply to gothathelionhotmail.com
the write up was very interesting&educative;i was once a chorister;i had to leave because of jealousy,backbiting,pride,fornication,arrogance,hatred,&backstabbing! the choir suffers more than the other dept in the church!satan dont want GOD to be GLORIFIED with a pure&true heart;music of today lacks depth,it is more of noisemaking&foulwords;i like country music, peace&love songs;i dislike heavy metals,& raps!they dont make sense to me!
thank you very much this was very informative for me
Heyy. im an art student and would like to use this image, does anyone know who created it? thanks
Even though devil was an angel of music the fact that God has disowned him made him looser on all His being. the topic is educative let us all destroy the plan of devil in our music, we can do this by connecting to God absolutely in our worship. God bless us all, Amen
Hi Gregory,
do think Elvis is Satanic? OR his music is the music and word’s of the Devil?
Thanks,
Ronald
Hi Ronald,
No. All musicians are not satanic. There are only a few of them out there.
wow! Perfect to be included in my workshop input in relevance to the history of music…Very educational and informative! Can i ask your permission to use some of these informations?
Hi Doreen,
Thanks a lot. Ya, I am sure not everyone is aware of this.
Ofcourse, you are free to use any of the above information. God Bless You.

I have a rebuttal to your claims, one of which would be stairway to heaven, I know music better than any on earth, I was saved by a monring star, and all my life I encountered only evil in christian establishments, until after enough of it had poisoned my heart I turned wicked at the age of 11.
Stairway to Heaven is one of the most beautiful songs ever created, it is a song of hope, and within it are lessons of a secret and esoteric nature, that is hidden from the minds of men.
what I mean is this, I have heard, the message in stairway to heaven when it was played backwards it is one of the saddest poems I have ever translated.
everyone thinks that it is a message of evil, and therefore makes stairway to heaven a satanic song I have even heard the most wicked of satanist say this.
I on the other hand have my own point to lay down on this note.
stairway to heaven played forwards the way it was meant and intended is a true song of man and redemption.
it is only when the song is reversed, and its message twisted and I mean twisted to be the very antithesis of what and how it was written.
the song itself was based upon a genesis passage about how one of the early forefathers of Israel say angels going up and down a stairway from heaven in a dream.
You uppity christians have no true understanding of the nature of Yahweh, Light or Darkness, I hate satanists, and I hate holy rolling christians, both sides of this coin, are so determined to prove a point one way or the other.
I have obtained wisdom beyond the normal call of men, wisdom is hidden from the masses, it is not for the common man. I have had my life ruined by christians who zealous fervor led my parents to take me off my childhood path, and put me in a christian, school, which I refer to as a school of hell.
I was taken away from my preschool friends and my entire path was changed all so pastors could feel like they were doing Gods work.
Well I’ll enlighten you, the very name God is a lie. It is a scandanavian word. There is only Yahweh.
I don’t buy the whole lucifer is the devil bit.
How can a perfect being fall. He or it depending on how you look at these natures, was created a perfect being.
I see the order of nature a little differently now, Yahweh is the Spirit who sends forth good and evil upon, man, it is that spirit which holds true command over the Heavens if the Israelites have told the truth.
I have heard pastors and preachers talk about the valley of the shadow of death, I say this in return, what in their lives, and when have they earned the right to speak about such places. David Or Davud Or Dawu as the Arabs call him, when into that valley, as did I mine wasn’t in the Holy Land, but mine was in California, and I can attest to it being the valley of death and shadows, every night the shadows came out.
The main point is, I have been given a higher charge to live my life, to be and to shine for all I’m worth.
Christians, as they are the fallen in my opinion, they say that Jesus or Yeshua, Or Gizu, is the only way to Yahweh, I say how dare they preach such a preposterous statement. All throughout the very history of the book you all call the Bible which is questionable in of itself, which was taken from the tanak I believe or the torah.
I might need to look that up later, which is aside from my point. All through the ages, there have been prophets and holy men, they did not have your chosen savior, they walked with Yahweh directly.
So dont be so sure about what you read, I once believed that christians followed that thing about the love of money being the root of all evil, but I’ll wager that on an average of 250,000 to one that they would chose to keep their money, and grasp it all their lives, chose it over friends and family, and then have the balls to preach the same message the next sunday.
I have one more point to make tonight. And that is this, your Jesus said he came here to divide, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, Yahweh said he would bring fathers and sons together and fix families.
I truly believe now more than ever, that all christians have been decieved, brainwashed by other people who were brainwashed long before them, and that your baptism, which was never recorded anywhere before your John the baptist. Will lead you all to your destruction.
I have found startling irregularities between the sovereign Spirit of the Isrealites and the one that christianity ecompasses.
You probably will not publish this, due to an inner fear, but then again I say good, at least you will have tasted just a tiny glimpse at the wisdom I have gained by the tests that a true human mortal star prince, has passed.
E.
P.S. You are correct in one thing, music is dangerous, but then again so are religious zealots.
Many Artists out there, are evil, but the way I see it in the end we all belong to a higher power, and I simply see many of their functions serving a higher purpose with the will of the Star King Or King Of Stars, thats who I call my Authority. Since I am a star prince I answer to no one other than the King Of Stars.
For people to try to judge me is for them to mock the very King himself and his plans for me.
I’ve notice one more thing about christians, they’ll never fulfill the higher powers purposes for their lives if they have a destiny preordained before their births, by hiding in their churches and not growing accordingly.
check out “The Industry” series (45 segments as of today) and the “Mystery of Music” series on youtube. eyepopping to say the least.
(The following are all how I see thins. Opinions. And remember, opinions vary!) I play fast, loud heavy metal music. I’m surrounded all the time by people who claim to be atheists, satanists….To me I think its quite funny. Because if anyone of these people actually saw satan they’d poop their pants. Best thing i can do (in my opnion) by god is to tell them they are idiots. God has given me the anility to play and perform, how I do it is my choice. God knows his followers and what they truly believe. Hearing or listening to a bunch of goofy rap songs isnt going to cost you your ticket into heaven… Praise god throught the heaviest of metal or the nicest of gospel! Thanks everyone.
Christ is the real Lucifer. He is the one called ‘The Bright Morning Star’ in Revelation, and He is ‘the light of the world’ and the ‘true light’ that came into the darkness of the world. His testimony, the Gospel of Glory, is the light that God the Father, through His Holy Spirit, shines into the hearts of those He is saving.
The name ‘Lucifer’ is a Latin word, not Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic, and is taken from that single verse in Isaiah 14:12, which is part of a taunt against the King of Babylon that the people of Israel will have when they are released from captivity in Exile. The context shows a man (who, given, is a type of Satan) who would presume in his ruling of the great kingdom of Babylon, to exalt himself and become the greatest authority on Earth, thus de-throning God. The title ‘Lucifer’, (Latin) or ‘Day Star’ and ‘Son of the Morning’ is an ironic designation: ‘This is who you claim to be, huh? Well, you are fallen, because the LORD is King!’. So please don’t call Satan ‘Lucifer’. He is a liar, a thief and a murderer, and there is no light in him at all.
if you set over two-hundred compact discs aflame, you would be inhaling toxic vapors as well as contributing to the pollution of our atmosphere..that feat is not an object of God’s appreciation. what is society without an environment? there is none.
instead of posting on a website directly pertinent to religion, try explaining your logic to the majority of today’s record labels. I dare you to sue them in the name of your Lord. the inception of a wider influence. an influence not confined by the thresholds of your faith. give it a shot.
Please do not use ‘Stairway to Heaven’ as an example of the ethereal nature of Rock music. I have a guitar that if Stairway to Heaven is played on it, the maker will revoke the warranty. If you think that is one of the most beautiful songs ever made, you might want to check out Beethoven.
So I heard from someone that it is believed that Lucifer is responsible for the 8 note closed Octave and that before Lucifer it was a 6 note open Octave. Georgy, since you seem to rather informed in this area, I was wondering if you could shed some light on this for me?
I have very much enjoyed learning from you, to me the information you have given is true and as christians we out to publish this information to the world.
Wow, just wow. Are you guys serious? You do know Lucifer is the devil AKA Satan, right? And he wasnt the angel of music, he was the angel of light, hence his name Lucifer, which means “bringer of light” in Latin, and his other name where he is referred to as “Morning Star”. Cast out of heaven for hating and not wanting to serve humans by Michael at the end of the war between the angels and fell from grace. Do you even know the angel hierarchy? Lucifer was in no way the strongest. The strongest would either be Michael or more probably Raziel. I dont think that is even Lucifer in that picture, he was never depicted with feathered angel wings and the key would suggest that the angel there is Raziel as he was the angel of secrets and mystery, he was also god’s right hand man and probably helped Adam the most by giving him the book of Raziel. Although the snake halo could either be Raziel’s connection to the teaching of medicine or Lucifer’s deception in the garden of Eden. Please learn your own religion before spouting nonsensical crap. I cant believe so many people actually took your word on this crap. Although their deep dependency on religion would suggest they’re idiots anyway, like most people in the world.
