Lucifer : Angel of Music

Lucifer An angel of music

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 spoken of lucifer in

Isaiah 14:11-14ร‚ย (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:ร‚ย Michael W. Smith, Don Moen, Chris Tomlin, Twila Paris, Handel, Bach, Pachelbel, John and Charles Wesley,ร‚ย 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?”

  1. Can you please share the verses where you conclude that Lucifer had 12 wings as opposed to the 6 wings other Seraphims? Thanks!

  2. John 4:23 says; But {the} hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

    24. God {is} a spirit; and they who worship him must worship {him} in spirit and truth.

    Not in music. All verses which has been refered to are talking about individual people like; ezek 28 was refering to to the king of tyrus; isai 14 was talking about Nebuchardinezzar the king of babylon. Does historians support that these kings were best known by singing? Read the whole passage not just part of it. Note that if the bible talks about the Israelites it talks about the israelites we all know who are right now led by Benjamin Netanyahu not devine beings. Thats what the truth means. Lets stop speculations and practice the truth.

  4. Hey wow…. U put all this in such a good way. Before an accident that changed my life that ended up leading me to give my life to Christ, the kind of music I’d listen to was rock like red hot chili peppers, papa roach, godsmack, eminem, jay-z etc… But now that I know the truth I try not to listen to them any more of course I do sum times not really wanting to but it sounds good to my ears or to the parts of flesh I haven’t dominated yet but now I know alot more because of this THANKS :D

  5. Theres one sure way to tell if the music and the musicians playing them are from the devil or not.
    Remember the saying that you can tell a tree by its fruit ?
    Look at the lives of the musicians. If they indulge in drugs, sex, fornications, alcohol – its from the devil. Run. Burn all their 200-cds in your possession..

  6. Tonya i hpn to have read what you had to share with us,I truly get the angle where u are coming from but girlfriend,really!how can you take music that was created in the world and bring it in the church?hip hop aint just music but its a culture,whos culture?Pop,heavy metal all that it is just TRASH,ok?Godly music does not need to be rough,whether one is singing gospel music in a heavy metal style?C’mon,that aint holy.Girl u’ve been reading your bible upside down,no offence thou.Jesus once rebuked sellers in a synagogue for using The Lord’s holy place as a meat market.That’s exactly what we mdern day christians are turning the Lord’s church into,”a place for the devil’s presence through music”. No wonder some have never repented whilst others have lost their faith coz they don’t know which voice to listen to because we christian are always fighting over opinions and all that.

  7. You forgot abut Cash. Legendary American folks singer and apparently he was also a qualified minister. Some of his music makes me tempted to turn back to God.

  8. I AGREE RIGHTLY THAT MODERN MUSIC IS OF SATAN. ALL THE MUSIC OWNERS BEFORE PUBLISHING THEY PRAY/ VENERATE TO THE EVIL FORCES FOR ITS SUCESS. AND FOLKS ONLY GOD CAN SAVE YOU, DONT BE WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES. THE CREATOR MADE A SYSTEM THAT SALVATION COULD BE FOUND ONLY IN ONE MAN AND GOD i.e Lord JESUS. TRINITY MEANS RIGHT PORTION OF ONE GOD. ORDINARY MAN CANNOT VISULISE,MY MUSLIM BROTHERS REFER MOSES BOOK-PSALMS-2 WHERE GODS SON IS MENTIONED. NO REDEMETION WITHOUT JESUS. AMEN.

  9. To be honest I knew deicide where satanic, Iv been listening to them for years, I am myself a satanist, have been for years, lucifer is not evil, he’s just a scapegoat so Jesus could blame all his **** ups on, Jesus is the real ” devil ” in the second coming we will crucify the whore again- –

  10. Shane, lucifer may not appear evil because he hides his true identity as part of his plan of deception. He would never reveal his TRUE nature as he has come to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Instead he will deceive many by offering TEMPORARY pleasures of this world. Those that choose the temporary pleasure of this world already have their reward in this world but will have nothing to show for in the day of judgement.

    On the other hand, those that live a Godly life and deny themselves the pleasures of this world and those that are faithful to the end, will have life eternal.

    The break down:

    A: Fill yourself with everything this world has to offer, (and yes, your temporary friend lucifer will help in that department), and lose your soul in the end.

    B: Fill yourself with God and live for Him, sacrificing the pleasure of this world and gain live everlasting with him.

  11. Fascinated with Angels? Don’t be! Worship the Creator rather then his creation.

    Angels are simply creatures God created just like he created the plants, treas, animals etc… They are created to fill a certain function as messengers of God or are sent to protect us. If we seek God and remain faithful to him to the end, we will join them one day and will worship the One True God with them.

    If instead we seek Angels, (the creation rather then seeking God the Creator) we will fall for lucifer’s deception of worshiping the creation rather than worshiping the Creator.

    Focus on God the Creator and all the other things will be revealed to us in due time.

  12. hmmmm…you guys make it seem as if God doesn’t want you to have “things” in this world…when infact He does…in the 3rd book of John 1:2 He saids, beloved i pray that you may prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers…

    God has no problem with us having the luxuries of the world…what He does have a problem with is when we hold on them “tightly”…that is what He mean’t in the book of Matthew when He said it would be hard for a rich man to enter Heaven…not impossible but hard…because most people with great possessions hold on to them so “tightly”…if your the type that can buy a brand new car for $50,000 and give it away to a person that truly needs it!…then God will bless you greatly and abundantly…WHILE your still here on earth!…

    and as far as being fascinated with angels?…i see nothing wrong with being “fascinated”…just not obsessed where your worshipping them…i agree with that…all of Gods creations are beautiful…and as a lover of His work you can’t help but be “fascinated”…but yes, you do want to praise The Creator over the creation, but all His majectic beauty is here for us admire, not frown upon it…lol…

    i believe the key to your message is being “balance” all-around…

  13. Firstly we have to really really beleived that Our Creator is perfect, all mighty, HE don’t make mistake that is why the universe HE created are in orderly , HE created many angels to serve HIM..remember HE created the whole universe included us..now how can something HE created could betray HIM..are we talking about the same GOD..?

  14. backmasking..(im a musician of 20 years+)

    some words when played backwards sound like other words.

    try recording “follow me!” and then playing it backwards..

  15. HERE I DID A TEST AT WORK SAY 5.99 FOR 2 WEEKS THEN SEE WHO ELSE WILL START SAYING IT THEN TO MASK IT PLAY THE OLD EGYPTIAN SONG.LA LA LA —–LA LA LA —- LA LA THEN PUT 5.99 INTO IT. YAH I WAS IN QOIR IN 2ND GRADE SHIT TO EASY TO DO PUT HIDDEN WORDS INTO HMMM A GRAPHS.

  16. you know the cobra song they play for the snake pyramids but say 5.99 and carry on the ninety nine nity nine five ninety nine nine ah nine. then next time you coworker here 5.99 they will think of you.

  17. Thanks for the insight! It is worth sharing with the world, because music has a way of writing words in your soul without you knowing it. That’s why you can listen to a song once, and you know most of the lyrics already. Imagine if people heard the voice of God through music. It will be written in their souls immediately!

  18. This is complete bullshit. First how do you know there is a higher power. Second if there is a higher power why would it bother itself with dirty corrupt humans? Why would anything of unhumanly nature want to infulence music. If I was a godly being I would get the hell out and create a new world because this place sucks. I believe that all realigons are real and I come onto this website and see how many nutjobs there are! The gods are to stay out of human life unless they take a shining to you. If lucifur is creating, wait lucifer is a destroyer he doent even have the means to create music. And if he’s trying to corrupt people with music it is obvously only one person he wants.

  19. I would like to thank you for this light source.I have read a number of comments some others folks have put across.Brethren,do u think that if the devil was the chief of music in heaven and he knows the format in which God ought to be worshiped,he will let music go,without using it for deception? Have a second thought on this.This has got nothing to do with who likes what and for how long.This has got something to do with reality.If you like certain types of music and you feel that this message is cutting close to the bone,then you need to do something about it.If ever the devil has to succeed in his mission of deception, then he definitely has to pervert the way of worship.He was once there in heaven and he knows that which would please God in worship and that which would not.Do not be deceived.You might say, “Iam not deceived,”the problem with your thinking is that; that’s exactly how deceived people think.If only you knew that you are deceived you would never in any way proceed with such type of music.You would damp it immediately.Some artists do not even know they are doing it the devil’s way.Don’t think that just because the lyrics are christian then the song is OK. And don’t think that because you know the artists so well then its unlikely for their music to be satanic.You have to know that human beings are prone to defend the people they love even if they are wrong.You would never need somebody to speak something bad about the people you love.But does that mean they can never be wrong? No way.Lets open our eyes and see for the devil is wroth this time around seeking whom he may devour.Again thanks for the message at its appropriate time.May the good Lord Jesus Christ our only Lord and Savior bless you abundantly.

  20. very correct only chosen one follow dis but rite now my prayer is dat god give n bless me with ure heavenly music so dat by ure divine power i kick n neglect dis wordly song amen …..

  21. This lesson takes the scriptures completely out of context. If you read these in lines with Daniel 5 you will see that it is speaking of Satan leaving the splendor of heaven with the harps etc for a silent hell with maggots. No where in the bible does it say that Satan was over music in heaven. You cannot tell the bible what it says, you must take what it says at its word.

  22. Well I guess it hasn’t been proven that in fact in the bible it said nothing of lucifer being grater than other angels How does the implication of him being refrenced as music bearer imply that?

  23. One who pray to Mary should not go to the doctor directly. Even if the Doctor’s mother is in a foreign country, they should call her and fix appointment with the Doctor who is at hand. Pray to God directly. If you are in need of any substitute, it means u r not the true son or daughter of God.

  24. That was a great read thanks for the information ! I knew that music had a kind of hipmitising way about it and I will be very mindfull about what I listen to.

  25. i think u guys are trying to get more confuse.to me nobody is right about this.lets just go and face life the way we found it.

  26. Jesus is Lucifer it is said the letter j is only 5 hundred years old, besides look here http://www.jesusorsatan.com . Also there is a couple in Austuria saying they was mary and jesus in their past lives and are now back since the 60’s.

  27. IF YOU WANT TO FIND SATAN LOOK IN SEMYAZA AND DEAD SEA SCROLLS IS A START NOT LUCIFER.IF YOU ARE THAT FACINATED WITH THE DEVIL LUCIFER IS A PUPPET TO HIM ONE ON ONE.

  28. IT IS GOD WHO AVENGES ME, AND SUBDUES the people under ME. HE DELIVERS ME from MY enemies: YES, YOU LIFT ME UP ABOVE THOSE who rise up against ME: YOU HAVE DELIVERED ME from the violent man. THEREFORE WILL I GIVE THANKS UNTO YOU, O LORD, among the heathen, AND SING PRAISES UNTO YOUR NAME. KJV (PSALMS 18:47-49).

  29. I had a dream/vision of Heaven, there was a word written bodly in the skies about theism and atheism.
    The I saw King David riding on a horse in the skies, and someone mentioned that it was one of the ancient Kings. Then I saw heaven opened, and things started falling from the Heaven, musical instruments they were huge, bigger than the ones we have here on earth, they were colorful and extremely huge, they were falling one after the other, lots of them.
    I was asking myself why would God let these fall out of heaven, are they no more useful in heaven anymore, is that why God was throwing them down? Then I looked at where they were falling and I realised they were falling into the sea, a huge sea.
    And in the middle of the sea, I saw this tall, fully armoured and very huge man, which I knew instantly was the devil. He stood upright in the middle of the sea, and these musical instruments were all falling around him, and he just stood there.
    Then after they had finished falling, a scroll dropped down from the heavens and fell on him, and he disappeared.
    I saw people running towards the middle of the sea to pro;lly grab some of these instruments, i just stood there and refused to join them.
    Then the scroll which fell on the devil bounced off to the land and landed on a desert like sand, and people were gathered around,
    some wanted to pick the scroll up and open, but i refused to join them, some said they should not open it, and some said they should. It was a white small scroll
    Then the devil appeared again in the midst of the people in the form of a strange animal, and then started running around, i ran away from him then, and then I heard a voice from heaven say
    Holy Holy is the God Almighty forever more ETC
    and i woke up
    Well I did not undertand this dream much until I came across this page, and realised this dreams portends the way God had driven the devil from heaven along with the musical instruments he had used while he was still an angel of God.
    devil will still try to deceive a lot of people through music and other means, we need to be close to God and pray always…devil is bitter, angry and roaring.
    Peace

  30. THIS IS NOT LUCIFER TO BEGIN WITH….

  31. Pure lies… pure lies…
    Go deeper man, you guys are too shallow…TOO shallow..
    Enigma, satanic music….NOT!!!
    You want to know how to make Enigma music???
    Simple… do a backmask of normal songs… then listen… sounds like Enigma???
    Bet that’s how they did their music…and it sure sounds eerie…
    As for the rest of the songs you guys describe.. pure coincidence… looks at the clouds up in the skies, you can picture whatever you want… pure random stuff.. you backmask music, you get that… pure random stuff.. no Satan, no Lucifer.. figure something out sounds like some anti-christ stuff, you fit it in.. say it comes from lucifer.. rubbish… it doesn’t… it’s anti-christ to your own agenda.. becos you want it to be… not becos it really is.. GET IT?? It’s not..!!! Let me tell you a msg, something to make you do something for me.. except, my msg is so inaudible, you have no clue what i’m talking about, and in result, don’t do anything for me.. you think Lucifer is a fool… selling messages that doesn’t do anything, that no one have a clue about… you can deny it, because you have fed everything into your Anti-Christ agenda.. see what you see fit that fits your way… but it’s pure lies that you know… See the truth as it is, these things are pure random stuff.. backmask any music, you will find some nonsense there… make it out to be something you want to make it to be…

  32. in regards to backmasking music…your subconscious mind is a slave to you conscious mind it will only do what you tell it…and if it can comprehend foreign languages what do you think it does with music?…she the adversary k.OSS that repetition is the number one way of learning….and though a lot of Christian folks won’t listen to most negative music….so backmasking is truly jus one way for him to force feed your subconscious mind….and trust me once something is locked into your subconscious you eventually take action it (wherever the mind goes the body follows) there is a good book called The Power of Your Subconscious Mind…you should chck it out…this is more of a scientific approach but more real than you can imagine…

  33. Wow you guys have no idea what your talking about. Music is an expresson it comes from the heart. People are Happy, Sad, Angry etc. To say that all music that isn’t for worshiping god is evil is just stupid.

  34. I would like to ask you to consider that the writer is talking about taking up a proverb against the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar.

  35. Just recently I started to notice that MANY of the songs in rock music esp.classic rock has many hidden meanings in them.For instance,I keep noticing keywords common in all songs I’ve heard such as rock,rocketman,captain,dark side,lady woman,light,till the dawn,rainbow in the dark,mother nature,doing time,starship,angels,and most of all….i hear left us here,coming home,new mother nature taking over,splendid lady come to light,etc…..I am not sure why I am just now really focusing on all of this but it almost seems like it’s a scene from the Matrix movie and someone is writing all the music.(seems) I also have noticed in music another “key” phrase as “break the spell,under this spell,and ride the storm,and the most common theme I seem to hear is RAIN.anyone else notice this????

  36. I hate to bring this up, but in the original Hebrew, in the book of Isiah, the story is about a fallen king of Babylon NOT a fallen angel. This was changed by the early church. Lucifer is a Latin word. Why would that name be in a book written in Hebrew?

  37. Shalom! Thank you for sharing this powerful testimony and article on music. I’m helped on my research and have enhanced my position and understanding on secular music. I an teaching our youth group on the subject. God bless you!

  38. PLEASE READ!

    if you have the time i would love if you look up “fearless confrence” it talks about many famous singers like lady gaga, rehanna, lil wane, jay-z, kane west, and many more singers that hve music loaded with satanic messages. please check it out it will help you alot.

  39. This is the best thing ever! Satan is awesome! Waaaaay cooler than I thought he was. Thanks so much, Georgy.

    So cool.

    I’m going to go tell all my friends. Maybe we can make him our choir mascot!
