Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

Image of Gold (5)


Let us again look at Daniel 3:5 and Daniel 3:7, before we move forward.

Dan 3:5
5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the
golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: (KJV)

Dan 3:7
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. (KJV)


What are these various instruments?

First let us recognize, that in Daniel 3:5, these are listed: "
cornet, flute, harp,
sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick
".

And, in Daniel 3:7, these are listed: "
cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery,
and all kinds of musick
".

What instrument is not written in Daniel 3:7?
"
dulcimer"

Is there a reason this "
dulcimer" to have been left out?

In Daniel 3:5, who is being addressed?

Dan 3:1-6
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was
threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain
of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the
governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers,
the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were
gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the
king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had
set up.
4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations,
and languages,
5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the
golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. (KJV)


"
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the
governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
"

"
and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up"

"
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and
languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp,
sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and
worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And
whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the
midst of a burning fiery furnace.
"

This was addressing the governmental officials.
It instructs these officials (earthly flesh men) as to that which they shall say,
as leaders of their "
people, nations, and languages", and the "law" by which
they shall proclaim, in order to govern over their people in the manner as
commanded by these disguised fallen angels of Satan's government.


Dan 3:7
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. (KJV)


In Daniel 3:7, "
when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp,
sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the
languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar
the king had set up
".

Ok, now let us discern that which FATHER is showing us.

The "
cornet" is the first to be written in this list.
This is because this speaks of the 'instrument of power'.
The disguised fallen angels, of Satan's one world beast, shall give power to
these earthly flesh men/women who are of all these governmental officials.

Giving them "
power" over their people will cause these earthly flesh
men/women officials to work productively (albeit, unknowingly, by many) for
this 'one world' (spurious, disguised) beast.

What does this "
flute" convey?
This shrill sound shall cause people to pay attention to the 'law' that will be
set before them.
Also, remember, that this lyrical instrument can be likened unto the hiss of
the serpent.
And, that refers to a mesmerizing sound, that will draw the people to this
'one world' beast.


The next is the "
harp". This "harp" is from the Aramaic.

Let us look at the Hebrew, and then the Greek.
The "
harp" in the Hebrew and Greek makes reference to prophecy or
prophesying.
But, is that which is foretold of Satan or of YHVH?
Remember, there are "
false prophets", and "prophets" of and from YHVH.


Gen 4:16-24
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land
of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he
builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son,
Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael
begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of
such as have cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle
the harp and organ.

22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass
and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye
wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my
wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
(KJV)

Ps 33:1-22
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings
.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of
the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them
by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the
depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in
awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the
devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all
generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he
hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the
earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not
delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his
great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy
name.
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. (KJV)


1 Cor 14:6-11
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit
you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by
prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except
they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or
harped?

8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to
the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be
understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into
the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of
them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that
speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
(KJV)



Now, what about this "
sackbut"?
"
a triangular musical instrument with four strings, similar to a lyre", "to
interweave
"

The fact that this 'instrument' has four strings, concerns that which inherent
to this earthly flesh.

The fact that it is triangular in shape, it represents three 'offices'.
For YHVH: FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT.
For Satan: spurious god, spurious savior, and most evil unholy spirit.

The strings of this instrument are plucked or strummed.

Satan's intent with this instrument, is to pluck or strum on the 'heart strings'
of the people.
It is meant manipulate the emotions of the people, through the interweaving
of Satan's lies with that of
YHVH'S Truth.

What did FATHER tell us in HIS Word?

James 3:9-18
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men,
which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so
can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew
out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie
not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,
and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and
without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
(KJV)



Next is the "
psaltery".

Let us look at the Hebrew word "
baneebel" (#5035) to better understand the
Aramaic use of "
psaltery".
5035 nebel (neh'-bel);
or nebel (nay'-bel); from 5034; a skin-bag for liquids (from collapsing when
empty); hence, a vase (as similar in shape when full); also a lyre (as having
a body of like form
):
KJV-- bottle, pitcher, psaltery, vessel, viol.

5035 nebel or nebel-
1) a skin-bag, a jar, a pitcher
a) a skin-bottle, a skin
b) a jar, a pitcher (earthen)
2) a harp, a lute, a guitar, a musical instrument


So, what we are seeing is an instrument more like unto the shape of a violin
or viola.
Rather than being on a stand, like the harp or sackbut, this instrument would
have an elongated neck and would be hand held.

Was this instrument played with a bow? Or, was it also strummed or plucked?

Well, I am reminded of Revelations 6:1-2...

Rev 6:1-2
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were
the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer. (KJV)



This "
a bow" is an instrument of destruction.
5115 toxon (tox'-on);
from the base of 5088; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric):
KJV-- bow.



It is the evil opposite of YHVH'S "
bow", which is a token (sign and shape in
the clouds) for HIS Covenant.
7198 qesheth (keh'-sheth);
from 7185 in the original sense (of 6983) of bending: a bow, for shooting
(hence, figuratively, strength) or the iris:
KJV-- X arch (-er), + arrow, bow ([-man, -shot]).


Gen 9:13
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant
between me and the earth. (KJV)



This brings us to the "
dulcimer".
"
a wind instrument, a bagpipe, a double pipe, panpipes"

What is this "
wind instrument"?

Let's look at James 4:8.

James 4:8
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye
sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (KJV)


1374 dipsuchos (dip'-soo-khos);
from 1364 and 5590; two-spirited, i.e. vacillating (in opinion or purpose):
KJV-- double minded.



Ps 12:1-8
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the
children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and
with a double heart do they speak
.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh
proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who
is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I
arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
(KJV)



Satan's "
wind instrument" or 'voice' is in relation to his most evil spirit.

YHVH'S 'instrument/voice' is HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

Satan shall make use of the earthly flesh man governments and officials in
order to put his 'law' into affect.
The governments and their officials are, before Satan's government of fallen
angels arrive, of their own minds, and different types of governments.
But, after Satan's government of fallen angels arrive, his spurious one world
government/theocracy,
their individual minds are easily moved into the 'mindset' of this "
beast"
("
image").

These governments and offices of these governments become "
double
minded"
.
Some individuals may leave their offices at this time, because some will
know YHVH'S Truth, and, therefore, will refuse to bow to the image of the
beast.
But, the majority, because they are under the deception, will leave off the
traditions and laws of their own countries in favor of the 'law' of the 'one
world' beast (image).

Some will become "
double minded", because their desire to keep their
position of 'power' (their offices) will out weigh any doubts they may have
about the 'one world' theocracy and the identity of these disguised fallen
angels.


So, the "
dulcimer" is used for these governmental officials ("the princes, the
governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces
", because the 'law' shall be set
with them beforehand, so they can take it to their people, and cause all to
adhere to it.


Dan 3:7
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. (KJV)


"
and all kinds of musick"
This refers to singing, and especially, the singing of psalms of praise.
But, to what and whom are they singing these 'psalms of praise'?
Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God/Savior', who the fallen angels shall have set up (deceptively presented) through this 'one world' beast, his image.

 



Dan 3:6-11
6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the
Jews.
9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds
of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into
the midst of a burning fiery furnace. (KJV)


Dan 3:6-7
6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Dan 3:8
8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.

Chaldeans
[kal DEE unz]-- one of the ancient peoples that formed the dominant
population in Babylonia, especially after the empire of Nebuchadnezzar II
(king of Babylon from 605 to 562 B. C.).
The Chaldeans are first mentioned in secular literature in the annals of the
Assyrian King Ashurnasirpal II (who reigned from 884-883 to 859 B. C.).
Earlier documents refer to the same area as the "sea lands." In 850 B. C.
Shalmaneser III, king of Assyria (reigned from 859 to 824 B. C.), raided
Chaldea and reached the Persian Gulf, which he called the "Sea of Kaldu."
On the accession of Sargon II (reigned from 722-721 to 705 B. C.) to the
Assyrian throne, the Chaldean Marduk-apla-iddina II-- in the Bible called
Merodach-Baladan <Is. 39:1> or BerodachBaladan <2 Kin. 20:12>-- a ruler of
Bit-Yakin (a district of Chaldea), rebelled against the Assyrians and became
king of Babylon.
In spite of Assyrian opposition, Merodach-Baladan held power from 722-721
to 710 B. C. In 712 B. C. <2 Kin. 20:12-19; Is. 39:1-8> he sent an embassy to
Hezekiah, king of Judah, inviting him to join a confederacy with Babylon,
Phoenicia, Moab, Edom, Philistia, and Egypt against Assyria. After
Merodach-Baladan seized power, the Chaldeans became the dominant race
in Babylon <Is. 13:19; 47:1,5; 48:14,20>. He finally fled, however, and Bit
Yakin was placed under Assyrian control.
When Assyrian power declined, a Chaldean governor, Nabopolassar (the
father of Nebuchadnezzar) led a revolt. In 625 B. C., he became king of
Babylon and founded a Chaldean dynasty that lasted until the Persian
invasion of 539 B. C., led by Cyrus the Great (king of Persia from 550 to 529
B. C.). The prestige of Nabopolassar's successors, Nabu-kudurri-usur
(Nebuchadnezzar; king of Babylon from 605 to 562 B. C.) and Nabonidus
(king of Babylon from 556 to 539 B. C.), was such that the term Chaldean
became synonymous with the term Babylonian.
Nebuchadnezzar was the king involved in the capture of Jerusalem and the
deportation of its inhabitants into Babylonian captivity <2 Kin. 24:1-2; Jer.
25:1; 26:9-11; 52:30>. The son of Nebuchadnezzar, Awel-Marduk (called
Evil-Merodach in <2 Kin. 25:27> and <Jer. 52:31>), freed Jehoiachin, king of
Judah, from prison after he had been there for 37 years. He gave Jehoiachin
a position of prominence among the captive kings and a daily allowance of
food for the rest of his life.
In the Bible the term Chaldeans is first mentioned in connection with Haran--
the son of Terah and brother of Abram-- who "died before his father Terah in
his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans" <Gen. 11:28>. The Book of Genesis
tells us that "Terah took his son Abram [Abraham] and his grandson Lot, the
son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai [Sarah], his son Abram's wife, and
they went out... from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan" <Gen.
11:31>. Abraham lived in Ur of the Chaldeans before the Chaldeans
dominated Babylon.
The term Chaldean also was used by several ancient authors to denote the
priests and other persons educated in the classical Babylonian literature,
especially in traditions of astronomy and astrology. Some scholars believe
the "wise men [magoi] from the East" <Matt. 2:1> who came to Jerusalem at
the time of Jesus' birth may have been Chaldean astrologers.
In the Bible most of the references to Chaldeans appear in the Book of
Jeremiah <21:4,9; 35:11; 51:4,54>. Jeremiah identified the Chaldeans with
the Babylonians, who besieged the city of Jerusalem during the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar, looted the Temple, and carried the Israelites into captivity.

time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.

Let us look at this as it was originally written, from the Green's Interlinear:
"
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar: O king, for ever live! "

Now, take in consideration that this would be likened unto the time when
Satan's theocracy of disguised fallen angels are in the sight of man.

Satan, himself, disguised as 'Jesus/King/Savior/God' will not yet have made
his appearance on the scene, but his image, which the disguised fallen
angels have set up, shall be.

So, to whom are these "
certain Chaldeans" addressing in "They spake and
said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
"?

This refers to the 'office' to which Nebuchadnezzar held, "king", which is a
position in 'government'.

Who will be in command over Satan's Law (before Satan's appearance in the
sight of earthly flesh men), when his "
image" is "set up"?

Again, we must look to the two "
feet" of this image.
One (disguised fallen angel) who will be over his 'government'.
And, the other (disguised fallen angel) who will be over his 'priesthood'.

And, until Satan, himself, arrives in the sight of earthly flesh men, in his
disguise as 'Jesus/Savior/God/King', these two shall be over his spurious theocracy.
Yet, these shall not be alone in this work for their father, Satan. They shall
have working with them other fallen angels. Plus, there shall be Kenites who
will aid their work. And, peoples from every country and language shall also
aid this spurious theocracy.

Dan 3:10
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds
of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
