MUSIC, THE SPEECH OP ANGELS.
Decembcr 8.
And the third angel followed, saying with a loud voice: If any man worship the
beast and his image, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the
lamb.—Revelations 14:9,10.
BY THE decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory,
some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life,
and others fore-ordained to everlasting death. God hath appointed
a day, wherein He will judge the world in righteousness
by Jesus Christ, to whom all power and judgment is given of the
Father. In which day, not only the apostate angels shall he
judged ; hut likewise all persons that have lived upon earth shall
appear before the tribunal of Christ, to give an account of their
thoughts, words and deeds ; and to receive according to what they
have done in the body, whether good or evil.
—Confession of Faith.
At the creation, harmony prevailed in heaven ; all the sons of
God, says Job, shouted for joy. What caused the termination of
this blissful state we are not informed ; but the Babylonians have
preserved for us a remarkable tradition of it, which is found on a
cruciform tablet, now in the British Museum. This tablet describes
the revolt of the gods or angels against their creator.
While the host of heaven was assembled, and were all engaged in
singing hymns of praise to their Maker, suddenly some evil spirit
gave the signal of revolt. The hymn ceased in one part of the
assembly, which burst forth into loud curses and imprecations on
their Creator. In His wrath He sounded a loud blast of the trumpet
and drove them from His presence, never to return.
-H. Fox Talbot, F. R. S.
Now let all the heavens adore Thee,
And men and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone,
When we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne.
--- Rev. Philip Nicolai.
