They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!”
Revelation 15:3*
Immediately after the miracle at the Red Sea, Moses and the children of Israel burst into song: “Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the LORD, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!” (Exodus 15:1). The singing goes on for 18 verses so it’s unclear if they had a songwriter, if people made up verses as they went along, or if God directed the choir.
A similar songfest is scheduled in the not so distant future just as the Great Tribulation is coming to an end. All the emotion, thrill of triumph, and pride of victory that was heard in the song of Moses will be repeated here in the song of the Lamb. All those who endured and overcame the terrible persecutions of the Anti-Christ will be gathered on the glass sea before the throne of God to celebrate. Looking on at the praise service will be the seven judgment angels with the last bowls of wrath that will be poured out on earth.
The Lamb of God is being honored and worshiped as the glorified saints cry out “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty!” Once again, the divine nature of the King of Saints is shouted out for all to hear.
This song of the Lamb inaugurates the beginning of the end. In the chapters that follow, all seven bowls of judgment reduce the world’s population to a small fraction. Babylon the Great falls and He who is called Faithful and True descends to Earth with the host of heaven to establish His kingdom.
That will be glorious. Hail King Jesus, King of kings, Lord of lords, and Lord God Almighty.
