A prophecy is fulfilled. By Ellen White
"What you have described to me about Indiana will take place, the LORD has shown me, just before the close of probation. Everything that is against good morals will be performed: Shouting with percussion, music and dancing. The senses of rational beings will be so confused that they can no longer be trusted to make the right decisions. And all this is called the work of the Holy Spirit.
However, the Holy Spirit never reveals himself in such methods, never in such a noisy madhouse. This is an invention of the enemy. He wants to cover up his sophisticated methods and make the pure, serious, ennobling, uplifting, sanctifying truth ineffective for this time. It is better not to bring any music into the service at all than to play instruments in this way and with such effect. However, I was shown last year in January that this music would be introduced at our major services. The truth for this time does not need such aids at all. It wants to lead people to conversion. But a noisy madhouse shocks the senses and spoils what would have been a blessing if done properly. The power of satanic forces mixes with the noisy spectacle to create a carnival. And this is called the 'work of the Holy Spirit'!
At the end of the big event, the necessary, good goals that could have been achieved through the presentation of sacred truth were not achieved. Those who have taken part in this sham awakening come under a dangerous influence. In the midst of wind and waves, he is suddenly leaderless. He can no longer reproduce what he previously knew to say about biblical principles. That is why this form of worship should not be promoted in any way."

"The past will repeat itself. Satan will make music a trap by the way it is played."(Manuscript Releases 21, 130)
