Singing the Devil's Song

       The Eagles of Death Metal, a previously mostly unknown band except for a fringe of purist heavy metal fans, are now remembered for the band performing their music during France's own version of 911. The band was playing inside the Bataclan Concert Hall, located in Paris France. They were an hour into their show until three men walked in and began firing away. The attack was very deadly killing 130 people and wounding more than 180. A result of hatred from a radical religion that just cannot seem to be able to allow people to breathe and walk the earth outside of the strict guidelines of what is written in their Koran.The news media mentioned much about ISIS the Islamic group behind the attacks, as well as the ringleader of the Paris attacks Abelhamid Abaaoud and his henchmen. News about ISIS growing threat to the United States and much of the western world as well as a rising distrust of the true intentions of the religion of Islam in itself has dominated the media. But a band called titled "The Eagles of Death Metal", their fans, their purpose on stage inside that concert hall has pretty much been kept hush hush, why?
       According to Kevin Swanson, during his radio show, Generation Radio, The Eagles of Death Metal were singing an eerie titled song: "Who Will Love The Devil Who Will Sing His Song"before being violently interrupted by terrorism (Kirwell, 2015). Here is an excerpt of their lyrics:
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll sing his song?...
Who will love the devil and his song?...
I'll love the devil!...
I'll sing his song!...
I will love the devil and his song!...
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll kiss his tongue?...
Who will kiss the devil on his tongue?...
I'll love the devil!...
I'll kiss his tongue!...
I will kiss the devil on his tongue!... (http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/eagles_of_death_metal/kiss_the_devil_lyrics.html)
Who will kiss the devil? Definitely not me. These fellows had no problem kissing the devil and their devoted fans with their pompous bouncing up and down, fist waving excitement were following right behind them. These folks showed their devotion to the devil and Satan awarded them with what he promises all of his followers, death. The group's loyal fans were singing and dancing to the devil. He, in return, presented to them the fire along with the suffering he promises his followers: ⁷ When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. ⁹ They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. ¹⁰ And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever Revelation 20:7-10.
       The devil deceived his followers and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. Here in Paris, this same devil used his servants, a rock metal band, to lure their followers into a trap where they were gunned down by another group of servants led on a different mission but with the same purpose, the same end, death. One group being led by fiery lyrics and frenzy band playing what basically amounts to a satanic worship church service. Another group being led by a sermon filled with anger and hatred so strong, so terrible, that it will enable human beings to strap bombs and bullets to their flesh and blow themselves up just for the purpose of creating death. What now? What is the end for these suicide fanatics? The burning fire has not ended for them. They are presently still surrounded by the mighty blaze, still feeling the heat. No, this is not a majestic place of eternal heaven, no beautiful virgins here to satisfy lonely souls. It is the reality of eternal hell that is provided for all nonbelievers who do not accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. And for the people celebrating the devil, they are going straight to his kingdom inside the everlasting fire. Except in their destination there is no partying, no guitar playing, no drum beating, no pretty girls, or sexy men. There is eternal punishment, eternal damnation, The Big Lie. Whew, if only they knew. If only someone could have warned them. Some, perhaps many did receive warning but for one reason or another refused to listen.
       And for the survivors, as they endured their worship service to the devil, we can ask them, did they enjoy his presence? These folks were dancing to the devil's song. They actually witnessed his works as their friends were getting shot up. ⁸ The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work I John 3:8. Again, did they enjoy the works of the devil? It is obvious, the devil does not play and he will not waste time sacrificing his followers if one is foolish enough to offer his or her soul and body on top his platform. The lesson here is that the devil needs to be taken seriously. It is not that we should fear him because when we are armed with God's armor and sword we are much stronger than Satan. But we do not need to be dancing up and down partying with him. We do not need to treat him as if he is our buddy. Forget those rock concerts you see in those music videos with the band members drinking blood and yelling chants to Satan along with their fans. Forget those ladies showing off their bodies for all to see while they engage in crazy sex acts. The consequences for these deeds and immoral behavior are not always immediate, not always witnessed on CNN Headline news, but they do exist. They happen. Females and males are raped. Unwanted pregnancies occur. Friends get involved in freak car accidents where one or more die. Friends commit suicide. Parents lose their children. People lose their jobs. Kids enter their schools and shockingly discover that the kid always wearing the weird grin had just emptied a bunch of bullets on several of their classmates. Friends, peers admit, too late, to themselves that they did not really know their friend real well. It begins somewhere. Why note allow it to end with God?

Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll sing his song?...
Not me. I am definitely not marching towards the gates of death just to make a show for someone who hates my guts. I am not singing his song. I am going to sing for Jesus Christ. Jesus hung on the wooden Cross for me with spike nails hammered through his wrists and ankles. He already took the beatings and sufferings for me making it unnecessary for me to have to blow myself up in order to meet paradise. Too bad that Abelhamid Abaaoud did not know about Jesus and His song, His gift. Too bad for Abelhamid Abaaoud's followers who ended up dying as well. They did not get to realize life. They did not get to receive the good news that Jesus Christ was willing to offer them if only they would allow themselves to receive Him. It is terrible that a religion would encourage its followers to end their lives and the lives of others in such violence and America has a Liberal media too unwilling to love the people of this country enough to warn them of such danger instead of bowing down to political correctness. Fortunately America does have people in this country who are willing to share the Good News: that the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ is free. Will you love Jesus? Will you sing His song?
¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. ¹⁹ This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:16-21
