The Song of Moses and the Lamb
1Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven final plagues, with which the wrath of God will be completed.
2And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name. They were holding harps from God, 3and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:
“Great and wonderful are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the nations!
4Who will not fear You, O Lord,
and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship before You,
for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”
Revelation isn’t in chronological order, it’s an arrangement in which John goes back over prophecies in greater detail.
The sea of glass is a physical representation of the Word of God.
“beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name”.
The martyrs conquered the beast even though they were murdered by the antichrist. Their victory was eternal life which the beast cannot take away.
They were singing the ultimate worship to our Lord. Our worship on earth is only a prelude, a practice session to the ultimate worship we will do in heaven.
“For You alone are holy.”
“Lord God Almighty!”
Blessings, David
