It kind of puts a hole in the Church of Christ's teaching that musical instruments are not to be used in services, don't you agree.

MUSIC IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

*snip*
However, after the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D., the Jews forbade the use of instruments in worship. "As long as the Judaeo-Christians remained one of the Jewish sects, they continued the musical traditional of their forefathers."
Again, "How far Judaism's prohibition of all instrumental music used shortly after the destruction of the temple had influenced the cause of events, is hard to determine.

Things that are continued in the New Testament, are substantially the same, or of a similar nature of those in the old. Example,

The expression, "To come to God," occurs both in the Old and the N.T. In the Old it simply means to go up to the temple; in the New, it is continued so that what was once imperfect, now becomes perfect, and now implies a mental, or spiritual approach unto the Most High, and also the spiritual worship of God.

So also, since the many particulars related in the O.T. concerning the sacrificed victims, the priests, and the temple are now transferred in the N.T. to the atoning death of Christ; to the offering of Himself unto death; and to the Christian church.

Thus the veil of figures in the Old Testament has been withdrawn.

Did you know,

Serpent charming is an art which has been practiced in Egypt, and throughout the East from antiquity past. The art is still preformed in various countries by persons who practiced it for their own livelihood, or for the amusement of others. Those who practice this art are usually those who inherit the trade from some family member. There are several allusions to serpent-charming in the O.T.

Ps.58:4-5, &#8220;Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder (cobra) that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.&#8221;

Eccles.10:11, &#8220;Surely the serpent will bit without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.&#8221;
Jer.8:17, &#8220;For, behold, I will send serpents, cuckatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.&#8221;
