[:en]SURROUND SOUND

Walt Disney Studios was the first to introduce a new concept in listening to movies.  It was called “stereophonic sound” or surround sound, and it was developed because producers wanted the movie-going audience to hear the music in a new way.

Thousand of years ago, Nehemiah introduced this idea at the dedication of the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem.  He assigned two large choirs at the southern part of the wall, at the Dung Gate.  One went to the left while the other one went to the right.  And they surrounded the city of Jerusalem in praise as they marched toward the temple.  (Neh. 12:31, 37-40).  Their rejoicing could be heard far way.  Their praise resulted from God’s help as they faced the opposition of  their enemies like Sanballat.

We can also praise God and rejoice in response to His great power, loving provision and constant care.  – Dave Branon
