The flute?
hillsbororiver:
Hi Mark,
Let me see if this intertwines with your thoughts here;
Isaiah 5 (Amplified Bible)
12They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, neither do they consider the operation of His hands [in mercy and in judgment].
13Therefore My people go into captivity [to their enemies] without knowing it and because they have no knowledge [of God]. And their honorable men [their glory] are famished, and their common people are parched with thirst.
14Therefore Sheol (the unseen state, the realm of the dead) has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth without measure; and [Jerusalem's] nobility and her multitude and her pomp and tumult and [the drunken reveler] who exults in her descend into it.
15And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humbled.
16But the Lord of hosts is exalted in justice, and God, the Holy One, shows Himself holy in righteousness and through righteous judgments.
In the King James verse 12 reads "pipe" which is interchangable with flute, perhaps the sound directly preceeds the judgement, grace or chastisement in this life or the destructive path of idol (self) worship. Is this sound the call to His purifying Fire some hear the flute of mercy while others hear the flute leading them to destruction (kind of like the pied piper), who has ears to hear?
Interesting topic.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Hello Mark,
I'm wondering what you heard, and what you had to overcome? Does St. Luke fit:
21; 16-19 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not a hair on your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.
Daniel 3; 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's conselors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
Peace, Lisa

Where does the SHOFAR come into play here? You know, the trumpet that blew at the battle at Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down? ???

I got this from the net.............
A shofar made from the horn of a kudu, in the Yemenite Jewish style. (Photo by: Wikipedia editor Olve Utne (Olve) )
A shofar (IPA: [ˈʃoʊfər] (USA) or [ˈʃəʊfə(r)] (UK); Heb.: שופר) is a horn that is used as a musical instrument for Jewish religious purposes. It is intimately connected with both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The shofar originated in Israel for Jewish callings.
The shofar is mentioned frequently in the Hebrew Bible, from Exodus to Zechariah, and throughout the Talmud and later rabbinic literature. It was the voice of a shofar, "exceeding loud," issuing from the thick cloud on Mount Sinai that made all the Israelites tremble in awe (Exodus 19, 20).
The shofar is prescribed for the announcement of the New Moon and solemn feasts (Num. x. 10; Ps. lxxxi. 4), as also for proclaiming the year of release (Lev. 25. 9). The first day of the seventh month (Tishri) is termed "a memorial of blowing" (Lev. 23. 24), or "a day of blowing" (Num. xxix. 1), the shofar; the modern use of the instrument survives especially in this connection. In earlier days it was employed also in other religious ceremonials, as processions (II Sam. 5. 15; I Chron. 15. 28), or in the orchestra as an accompaniment to the song of praise (Ps. 98. 6; comp. ib. xlvii. 5). More frequently it was used as the signal-horn of war, like the silver trumpets mentioned in Num. 10. 9 (see Josh. 6. 4; Judges 3. 27; 7. 16, 20; I Sam. 8. 3).
