The point was to look beyond the traditions we accept toward what scripture actually says.<br /><br />In this particular case on this page, scripture doesn't say that angels sing. It doesn't say they don't sing, either.<br /><br />As for the verse in Isaiah, Jamieson Fausset Brown Commentary explains the symbolic language here<br /><br /><i>Call to inanimate nature to praise God; for it also shall share in the coming deliverance from "the bondage of corruption" (Rom 8:20, 21).</i><br /><br />In context, the verse is talking about the redemption of national Israel, so Isaiah is urging all of creation to rejoice.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-7630930347301385532016-12-17T23:35:56.709-05:002016-12-17T23:35:56.709-05:00Very interesting!

I have read scripture of angels praising God, but that could be talking or shouting. I did find in Isaiah 44:23 "Sing for joy you heavens for the Lord has done this." Since angels reside in the heavens they could be included with the heavens, right?Stacy Brooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-84500936116127254112016-12-17T09:49:54.632-05:002016-12-17T09:49:54.632-05:00This article is about angels singing or not singin...This article is about angels singing or not singing, not about humans singing or not singing. Angels and people are different created beings. The Bible has several references to people singing in heaven. Rev 5:9 shows the elders singing with harps. Rev 14:3 shows the 144,000 singing before the throne, with harps.<br /><br />In addition to the verses, I believe it is highly likely we human believers will sing in heaven. God invented praise music, hymns, and songs for us to express our worship of Him and to Him while on earth (Eph 5:19) and it's more than likely we will continue to do so in heaven. I say 'more than likely' because if He said to sing of Him here with our fleshly bodies, once there, we can sing to Him without the blot of sin staining our praise. We see Zephaniah 3:9.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-54049259402309762552016-12-17T09:21:13.052-05:002016-12-17T09:21:13.052-05:00I once heard a minister say there will be no singi...I once heard a minister say there will be no singing in Heaven.

Basically, the word in Job 38:7 means 'to give a ringing cry' which is kind of like singing but not really. In Rev 4 the creatures (probably angels but not described as such) <i>say</i> holy holy holy etc. The Greek word means to say, shout, speak, etc. The essays explain it more. :)<br />Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-26724608032525473532016-12-16T20:14:44.644-05:002016-12-16T20:14:44.644-05:00Just a short comment.

Then again, in Rev. dont the Angles sing HOLY HOLY HOLY is the Lamb of God?<br /><br />Ron G. MARANATHA! Enjoy your Blog and postings, <br /><br />Merry Christmas! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
