12.13.22 - ENDTIMES CHAT with GJ and DAN - A NEW SONG

A NEW SONG
When it was discovered in Revelation 5 that Jesus was the ONLY ONE who could open the scroll in heaven to reveal what was to come, Worship erupted.

They reacted by singing, recognizing His salvation. The twenty-four elders have the harps and the golden bowls of incense; they also are the ones who sing the new song. This new song speaks of redemption, something the angels desire to understand but do not experience (1 Peter 1:10-12).

What is the “new song”? The Greek word used here for “new” does not mean new from the standpoint of time but new in quality, fresh, and unique. The Psalms often speak of singing a “new song” to the Lord (Psalm 33:3; Psalm 96:1; Psalm 98:1; Psalm 144:9; Psalm 149:1). Isaiah 42:10 also says, “Sing to the LORD a new song, / And His praise from the ends of the earth.” The 144,000 Jewish believers from the tribulation period sing a “new song” that no one else could learn (Revelation 14:3).

The words of this “new song” are recorded for us, and we learn some wonderful things from this song to the Lamb:
1. It tells us why the Lamb is worthy of taking the scroll and opening its seals.
2. His worthiness is based on His death.
3. His blood was the price of our redemption.
4. The twenty-four elders represent every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
5. Our relationship to God as kings and priests has been made possible by His redemption and guarantees that we shall reign on the earth.
