Job 38:7
Excerpted from: Exalt With Music

God is reflecting for the benefit of Job on the creation. He gave Job and you and me an insight of the response of the angels to maybe their first view of what God had just made. They all sang together.

Let us think about this. They had that ability to sing before this moment. So we have to understand when we put this all together, with things like what is contained in Ezekiel 28, things about Helel, that before there was an earth, before there was a mankind, there was music.

Revelation 5:9 shows angels continuously singing before God. But Job 38 sets a pattern for you and me, for mankind, that music's overall godly function to intensify positive attitudes regarding God's creative activities.

Job 38:4-7
Excerpted from: Lessons From Unleavened Bread

Note in verse 7 God's declaration that the angels shouted for joy in seeing God's creative work as He set the physical universe in place with the creation of the heavens and the earth. It appears before this time that there was no physical creation of the heavens and the earth, the physical creation which man would learn to grow. But perhaps within the limited understanding that the angels had of the unsearchable ways of their Creator, man was not even yet in the picture to them as they shouted for joy, watching God continue His incredible work of creation. Could this have been when a sin of presumption began with Hillel?
