Was Satan in charge of music in heaven?

Today's question is, was Satan in charge of music in heaven? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective. Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the.

End.

Ezekiel 28, verse 13 of the KJV and NKJV seem to hint that Satan was involved with music in heaven. The NKJV says, "...the workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created," although the exact meaning of this difficult Hebrew text is uncertain.

There may have been such instruments in heaven, but there is no evidence outside this verse to verify it. Revelation 5, verse 8 and 15, verse 2 refer to harps, but not to timbrels or pipes. The two Scripture passages that describe Satan before he fell are Ezekiel 28, verses 12–19 and Isaiah 14, verses 12–15.

Satan was the anointed cherub, Ezekiel 28, verse 14. He was adorned with every precious jewel imaginable, verse 13. He was the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, verse 12. Lately, he was the highest of all angels.

He was persuasive enough to convince one-third of the angels to join him in his rebellion, Revelation 12, verse 4. Even after his fall from heaven, not even Michael the archangel dared to stand up to him without the Lord's help, Jude 9.

Satan fell because of pride. He did not like being second best. He wanted to be God. You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the Mount of Assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain, Isaiah 14, verse 13.

Was Satan the head musician? This cannot be answered definitively. Scripture does not say enough about what his duties were in heaven. Considering the fact that the angels constantly worshiped God, Isaiah 6, verse 3 and Revelation 4, verse 8, it is possible that Satan led that worship.

One thing is sure, for Satan to rebel despite having such an exalted position and close relationship with God, the devil is surely due his eternal destiny. See Revelation chapter 20, verse 10. Want to learn more?
