The Song of the Lamb!
Scripture reading for December 19: Revelation 15
“Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire–and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the Song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are Your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your Name? For You Alone are holy. All nations will come and worship You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”” Revelation 15:1-4
John described another sign: seven angels coming from the sanctuary holding seven golden bowls of the wrath of God which were the seven last plagues. After the pouring of these bowls, the wrath of God against sin and rebellion would be finished. Along with John, there was a great multitude of the redeemed standing there with golden harps given by God. This group had conquered the beast, his image, and resisted the mark (666.)
This multitude began to sing a song, the Song of Moses (Exodus 15:1-11), that became a new song, the Song of the Lamb. This Song extols the justice and truth of God’s amazing judgments. Moses, the great prophet of God, had led Israel to freedom through God’s judgments on the gods of Egypt. He had mercifully delivered them by the blood of a lamb. He led them to victory through baptizing them in the Red Sea, which closed over their enemies. They worshiped singing the Song of Moses. But the judgment of man’s sins was laid on God’s own Son, and given as a gift of mercy to all who would repent and believe, Jew or Gentile. Jesus conquered death, hell, and the grave through humble submission to God’s will. Now in heaven, the ‘Song of the Lamb’ is sung by redeemed saints!
Has your world view been expanded to include joining this great multitude in worship singing the Song of the Lamb? Do you gather with others of faith each week to sing songs of worship to the Lamb?
Prayer: Father God, just and true are Your amazing works and judgments! Thank You for Your amazing mercy to those who humbly receive it. May the nations all come before You in worship and surrender, singing the Song of the Lamb! Amen!
Conquerors of the beast!
Scripture reading for December 21st: Job 18-20, Psalm 141, Revelation 15
Key Scriptures: Revelation 15:1-4 “Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire–and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are Your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord and glorify Your Name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.””
John’s visit to heaven brought revelations of the future final judgment of the beast and those who received his mark. The seven angels with the final seven plagues appeared as a sign in heaven that was “great and amazing!” Then John saw a sea of glass mingled with fire and a great company of those who had conquered the beast by the “blood of the Lamb and Word of their testimony.” (Rev. 12:11) This company was standing by the sea of glass with harps and they began to sing the ancient song of Moses, now known as the song of the Lamb! Worship of God flowed for His amazing deeds of justice and holiness that were soon to be displayed on earth and in heaven. Amen! Amen!
Psalm 141:8 “But my eyes are toward You, O God, my Lord; in You I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless.”
Faith confession and prayer: Lord Jesus, King of the nations, You alone are holy and are worthy of praise and worship! My overcoming testimony is in Your sacrifice as the Lamb of God for my sins and the sins of the world. Empower me today to snatch from the fire those still under Your wrath.
Job 19:25-27 “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My hearts faints within me!”
