History of the Heavenly Harp, Part 1 of 2

Music is all around us. It exists in the melody of a bird’s happy song, or the sound of the bubbling river. These outer worldly sounds contain more than just a sound wave; they also connect us to our inner core. The harp is one of the most beautiful instruments that humankind has ever imagined. One might describe its sound as Heaven’s music, played by angels. In the Holy Bible, chapter 14 of the Book of Revelations mentions the harp sound. It says: “and I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.”
