A NEW SONG IS A SIGNAL OF A GREAT EVENT. The sound of a NEW SONG is not unusual in heaven. That it is used as the evidence of an outstanding moment is obvious from the song of those who will be in close proximity to the throne. The cause for this song is the ability of the Lamb to open the seals which usher in the last days. It is a song of His worthiness and His act of redemption which is extended to all mankind. Special emphasis is placed on the offering of His BLOOD and the purchase of the souls of men, through His sacrifice on Calvary. They have excellent reason to offer thanksgiving in their song for they have been exhalted to be the kingdom of God and to reign and serve as priests. Rev. 5:9-10 This will have to be the largest songfest ever. It is joined by a myriad of angels. v.11 By EVERY creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth and on and in the sea. From the language used here this would include ALL of mankind who have ever existed. v.13 Their song concerns the worthiness of the Lamb and is a sevenfold hymn of all that He is and those things which are becoming to one who is so admirable. v.12
THE NEW SONG. The new song is a song of triumph and great victory. It is sung unto the Lord because of His glorious works and the manifestation of His mighty hand and the revelation of His holy arm in salvation. Ps. 98:1 it is an ode unto the Lord lifting high the Word of the Lord. Declaring His righteousness and the showing forth of His goodness which fills the whole earth, even the most unworthy are participants of His daily supply to the inhabitants of the earth. Ps. 33:3-5 Most fitting, the new song will be heard in the wilderness, the place of refuge for the Bride during the tribulation period. His praises will be extolled with great fervor and excitement. Those who inhabit the rock, Christ Jesus, will sing and shout from the mountain tops. Isa. 42:10-11. Every new song is a praise sounding from the redeemed of the Lord. The Israel of God rejoices in Him and finds the satisfaction of joy in her new song about Him and directed to Him. Ps. 149:1-2 The new song is a song sung under the anointing of the Spirit in which the Lord is exalted on high.
SINGING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG. A special song sung only by the one hundred forty-four thousand, for they are a special people. A unique portion of the Bride of Christ. It is a song that is to be sung in the throne presence of the Lord. Because of its nature, it is a song limited to be sung only by this group. While its contents are not revealed we must know that it is a song of fresh revelation glorifying the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus. Its contents must pertain to the depths of the God like love that will exist between Christ and His Bride. An anthem of adoration and worship such as has never been sung. Would there be any doubt but what this is a true composition of the Spirit and that it will be sung in the unity of the Spirit. What a glorious sound this will create in heaven.
