Music has always played a pivotal role in worship, the various divisions of the Psalms are actually music, Ezekiel Chapter 28 verses 11-13 describes Lucifer, who later became satan, as a being who was designed to perform music in heaven, which makes it clear that even before the entrance of sin into the universe music was vital for the enhancement of the worship experience. At the final consummation of redemption, the great multitude of the redeemed will sing: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exalt and give him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to be clothed with the fine linen, bright and pure” (Rev 19:6-8).
