Psalm 119:169 ~ According to Your Word

Since the beginning of time, we all earnestly desire our prayers to go directly to God.

Our Father is so very close to us, our Father has the aroma of our prayers in beautiful Revelation.

We so want our Prayer to be up in Heaven and near Jesus. Father God assures  us in John 14 and 15, He hears us. John's Gospel begins with God hearing Nathaniel under a tree - praying.


And even in the Second Temple - Jesus taught and walked through Solomon's Portico (left from the First Temple) - God's people have long thought about Prayers going up to God.

Psalm 119

169 Let my cry come before you, O LORD; 

give me understanding 

according to your word!

Gregorian solemn chant is a basic thought when we think of Worship in God's own Temple in Jerusalem. Solemn, secluded and quiet.

Josephus records:
High Feast Days the Temple had Worship rotation and housed during this time -  2 million people.

Psalm 119 has every verse being part of the Hebrew Alphabet.
And each verse  the Temple Choirs Temple were ascending and descending the Temple stairs. Reminding all of God's People every aspect of Life - going up and ascending to God - is one of the many grains of the sand on all the beaches - so God's thoughts are of you.

Psalm 139 

God tells us about Prayer and His Numerous Thoughts on you - His Child'

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm and is something all of the Children of Israel knew in High Festival Holy Days - Holidays As well known as "Come All Ye Faithful, Joyful and Triumphant!"

The Temple Court of Women

This is the Yearning and Tradition of the Faithful for a Millennium to have God 

Hear their Prayer. Psalm 119.

Let's consider what Biblical Musical History says:

Heaven is getting more lively every blessed minute!

Hear Oh Israel, The Lord Thy God is One.

Music historian Abraham Schwadron, "probably the most important musical contribution of the ancient Hebrews was the elevation of the status of liturgical music in union with ritual ceremonies." He notes the "high degree of musico-liturgical organization" from the descriptive accounts of King Solomon's Temple, such as the 24 choral groups

These choral groups consisting of 288 musicians which took part in 21 weekly services.

Despite the similar instruments used by the Hebrews which were also used in neighboring cultures, including Phoenicia, Egypt, Assyria, and Greece, Schwadron writes that "it would be accurate to state that . . . it is in the particular uses of music—sacred and secular, ethical and aesthetical—that ancient Jewish music made a unique contribution.

Music historian John Stainer notes that the earlier relationship between Abraham and the Canaanites "Probably caused his posterity to carry a certain amount of Assyrian music or musical instruments into Egypt. He adds four centuries "in so civilized a culture as Egypt must have largely added to their knowledge of the art."

(Now - just suppose - Elvis studied the African American tunes. And we know African American Gospel is the Old Church Choir singing in our soul!!! Heaven isn't just Bach.)

Although the ancient music of the Psalms and the other Bible books (which were all chanted), is often thought to be lost, the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible contains cantillation marks indicating a melodic line for the words. Following the French archaeomusicologist Suzanne Haik-Vantoura, some authorities now argue that these cantillation marks date from temple times and record the music sung in the temple. Attempts have been made to decipher them in modern musical notation.

After the fall of the Temple, Werner states the fabric of dreams spun about its earlier music included reminiscences, visions, and fantasies, as the Rabbis - took pains to eradicate - both its choral and instrumental traditions. "Their time had arrived, and their ideas on liturgy and music were radically different from those of the Temple priests."

Ecclesiastes 1:9

What has been 
is what will be,

and what has been done is what will be done,

and there is 
nothing new under the sun.

Tell us where this is in the Bible ...
Instruments included: The tambourine or timbrel (a frame skin-taut drum) is mainly a popular instrument. Miriam and women celebrate the crossing of the Red Sea; Tomić Psalter, 1360/63 Among the percussion instruments were bells, cymbals, sistrum, tabret, hand drums, and tambourines. Percussion instruments are those producing tones by being struck in various ways and have been used by bands and orchestras throughout history.[

The tabret, or timbrel, was a small hand-drum used for festive occasions, and was considered ... a woman's instrument.

Consider 288 musicians taking part in 21 weekly services.

The Trumpets were known to be shrill.
The wind instruments used in the biblical period were the cornet, flute, horn, organ, pipe, and trumpet.

ADD this Video to the next one together...

We have to add in Benny Goodman in "Sing, Sing, Sing" with zing, zing, Zing.

We are  probably looking at Easter/Passover Vespers due to the influence of Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek an Phoenician cultures alive and present in the Temple and in the lives of David, Israel and Solomon.

Ecclesiastes 3

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

How interesting the way knowledge of mankind is allowed to progress in God's Plan.
We live when so many archaeological certainties present themselves. If we'd heard about Egyptian or Assyrian melodies - just a century ago - we would probably have dropped the wagon wheel.

Add the videos together, please! On 'Go" add in the second video.
And you can play Benny Goodman 3 times during the first video.

Acts 2:2
And suddenly
there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind,
and it filled the whole house


Ezekiel 37:9-14
Thus says the Lord GOD, "Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breathe on these slain,
that they come to life."'"

The breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet.


John 3:8
"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it,
but do not know where it comes from and where it is going;
so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

John 20:22
And when Jesus had said this,
He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit."




Psalm 98:1
Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things!
His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

Psalm 40:3
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.



Isaiah 6:3
They were calling out to each other,
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven's Armies!
The whole earth is filled with his glory!"




Consider this is not the 2 million of High Festival Jerusalem.

Abba, Holy Father,

Let the Glory of the Lord Rise Among us.

Let the Glory of the Lord Shine Among us.

Holy Spirit - Rise.

We ask our Willing Father the prayers of all His Beloved
More Heaven on earth.

The Glory of Jesus Christ and His Father are Working Today.

If you are Happy and You Know this
Bang the Drum
Stomp Your Feet
Jesus Christ is Born


In the Name of Jesus, Rejoice. Amen.
