The Harp of Israel
The harp was the national instrument of ISRAEL, and was used constantly as an instrument to praise God by and to declare his goodness,faithfullness power and mercy....It was used on it's own and at times accompanied flute and cymbals to prepare
  the way for the prophets to prophesy...... Below is a short list of times when the harp was used by Israel (and the Lord God........)
Is it possible,that the harp that figured so prominantly
  throughout the old testament scriptures......the sounds
  that were used to inspire tremendous worship to the
  Lord God in ancient times.....could be restored to the
  church TODAY?....?
          It seems impossible that the gentle "ZAMAR"
  (Hebrew: "touching the strings in praise") can replace
  our twanging guitars and"sophisticated" keyboard
  sounds.....and yet....even the most modern church has
  a gentle time of "waiting on the Lord".....
  Could the ancient harp be a catalyst to prepare frantic
  minds and troubled hearts to recieve from God's
  fruits of ....LOVE...JOY...PEACE......
God's Power manifest through the Harp ?
King David himself used the harp extensively,
   presumably learned as a young  boy during his
   time of solitude as a shepherd tending his
   fathers flocks......
        He later "soothed " King Saul, who was
   tormented by an evil spirit.....
        Then as King of Israel,through his psalm
   writing and  arranging temple music for.....
   Praise to God....
