The Mystery of the Restoration of the Harp and the Lost Music of the Bible: Rediscovered
As a Psalmist and International Harp Instructor, Michael-David has traveled the world, re-establishing the harp as a vital instrument for worship, prayer, healing, and delivering people from spiritual bondage. For nearly 2,000 years, the harp’s sound was silent in worship after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. But now, with the children of Israel back in their land, there has been a resurgence of the harp, especially within the prayer house movement.

A prophetic word in the Talmud (Masorah Arachin 13b) suggests that the reappearance of harps in Jerusalem signals the nearing of the Messiah’s coming. This could explain the strong reactions from Orthodox Jews when Michael-David’s students play harps in Jerusalem. It seems the restoration of the harp is a part of a divine mystery unfolding in these end times.

A Historical Perspective and Modern Revival
The Acts News Network report highlights Michael-David’s first modern prophetic harp school in Israel, on the Mount of Olives, and provides foundational insights into the harp’s restoration. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba84QzoNXcE) This restoration is deeply connected to the prophetic vision of a great harvest described in Amos 9:13-12. The harvest metaphor in these verses speaks of a massive ingathering of souls into God’s Kingdom, with the restored tabernacle of David playing a crucial role.

King David initiated continuous worship, intercession, and the spontaneous singing of the Lord’s songs in his tabernacle, a powerful season mirrored today in the Prayer House Movement. This movement, with over 20,000 prayer houses worldwide, emphasizes 24/7 worship and prayer, aligning with the biblical model.

The Harp’s Spiritual Significance
The harp, an essential instrument in both the Old and New Testaments, symbolizes worship in heaven. Revelation 14:2 and 5:8 reveal the harp’s heavenly role in receiving prayers. The sound of the harp in worship facilitates a spiritual connection between heaven and earth, enhancing the efficacy of prayers. As believers play the harp on earth, their prayers resonate in heaven, creating a powerful spiritual atmosphere.

Rediscovering the Lost Music of the Bible
Suzanne Haik-Vantoura’s groundbreaking research in “The Music of the Bible Revealed” deciphers the ancient musical notation encoded in the Hebrew scriptures. These cantillation marks, or ta’amim, indicate the musical tones to be sung, revealing the original melodies intended for biblical texts. This discovery allows believers to hear the ancient music that accompanied worship in David’s Tabernacle and Solomon’s Temple.

By analyzing these musical markings, Haik-Vantoura demonstrated that these symbols represent specific musical tones. Surprisingly, this decoding process has unveiled a distinctive Hebraic scale, enabling believers to sing ancient scriptures like the Shema with their original melodies.

Chironomy and Biblical Music
The method of conveying music through hand gestures, known as chironomy, was prevalent in ancient times, as seen in Egyptian artwork. This system likely influenced the musical notation used in the Bible. The Hebrew phrase “al yad,” meaning “under the hand,” found in 1 Chronicles 25:2-6, supports the theory that biblical music was directed through hand gestures.

Conclusion and Invitation
The restoration of the harp and the rediscovery of the Bible’s lost music are unfolding mysteries in modern times. Michael-David invites everyone to attend a live harp school where they can learn to play the harp and ancient biblical melodies.

It is now possible to sing the Aaronic Blessing, sung with its original cantillation marks, which Michael-David does, hoping to inspire and deepen the connection to this divine heritage. For those who have always wanted to play the harp, he provides an easy-to-learn method designed for worship and prayer, liberating students from the need to read music. His website offers more information and resources, including DVD courses and Zoom courses. (https://michael-david.com/harpschool/)
