Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Quick Look in the Holy Book Strange Case When Becoming a Prophet In the Old Testament, Samuel I 10:5, we read the following: "After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying.
The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.” What is really strange, and I must question it, is the relationship between the musical instruments and prophesy? Prophecy is about taking God's message to the people. Musical instruments are the devil's work!
If you find this surprising, then look now at Samuel I 19:19, where we read the following: "Word came to Saul: "David is in Naioth at Ramah;" so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came upon Saul's men and they also prophesied. Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied.
Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Sechu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" "Over at Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even upon him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. He stripped off his robes and also prophesied in Samuel's presence. He lay that way all that day and night. This is why people say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" Now, if you can, please tell me the meaning of this prophecy?
Why all the playing and fooling around? What is this joke? Even the lowest of men would not think about doing this. So how could the New Testament allow such a thing to be related about God's messengers; the highest and wisest of all humankind? After all, is it possible that Christians still do not doubt its authenticity as Gospel?
Things We Should Warn Ourselves and the People of We ask the Jews and Christians to look deeply with their wisdom and clear vision at what we have said about the Old and New Testaments. We have shown clearly the contradictions as well as how God's dignity and Holiness have been attacked.
