You Play the Harp?

Day 358: Revelation 15:1-8

“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!’” - Revelation‬ ‭15:3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This chapter in Revelation is soaked in Exodus language. One of the more vivid pictures is the church standing beside the sea of glass (verse 2). Moses had commanded the Israelites to “stand by and see the salvation of the Lord.” (Exodus 14:13)

In the same way, God, in a final act of judgment, will be setting all things right. There will be no more martyrs to make out of the chosen.

It is a powerful song that we will sing, accompanied by our harp playing. If you’ve ever wanted to play guitar and just never took the time to learn — your day is coming.

We will declare that our God is not just our King, He is also the King of the nations. We, as the church of Jesus, are the most diverse group on the planet, but not everyone will choose to worship beforehand.

There is not an inch on this earth where God is not King, but not everyone acknowledges that truth (yet).

What can we do right now? Let’s start practicing now for what we will do then. May we praise the King of nations and give him our hearts this Christmas.

Every knee will bow; the question is, will we wait till it’s too late, or will we confess Jesus as Lord now? (Psalm 86:9, Philippians 2:10)

”The song of Moses commemorated the greatest deliverance in the history of God’s people; and the victorious martyrs, brought through the sea of persecution to the promised land of heaven, sing that song.” - William Barclay, Revelation, Vol. 2, page 135
