I wrote something about 'light' in doing Psalm 150:4 (Praise Him with timbrel and dance). Yes, I know that we have pianoforte and tother instruments. What we need to 'know' is that these, like rhymes on hymns and musical notation are glorifications. But we do not need to ignore how the Bible taught us. In that way we would be comprehensive. (Goedel's Incompleteness work destroys non-contradiction, and Heisenberg's Uncertainty work destroys correspondence--so we must be comprehensive). Now the timbrel was the dominant percussion instrument in Ancient Israel--the tambourine. So we shake it appropriately. The dance emphases the light. Here's how the dance goes. Imagin you are standing in the middle of the tabernacle. To start, step back with both feet into the Holy of Holies area. Then with the left foot go to the Altar/Firmament/Second Day. Then to the Table/Third Day/Spread, and then, again with left foot, right staying in Holy of Holies, to Light/Luminaries/4th Day. Now, conflating 4th Day/Light with Incarnation/Resurrection--this dance does not exhaust possibilities--we move the left foot back to the HoH as Ascenscion. The left again goes to us, the living sacrifices as Pentecost, wnd with the destruction of A. D. 70, we newly spread (left again) and then go out as light, the right foot going to the Lampstand area as we are to spread the light. Does this make sense as praising Him with timbrel and dance, the light?
