Revelation 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.
A harp is an instrument of praise. King David played the harp as he went through his darkest times. Praise to Our Heavenly Father encourages our soul. The mind would have you believe that certain destruction is at hand but Our Heavenly Father is able to do above and beyond anything we ask and is able to deliver us out of any situation.
In the above verse, Our Heavenly Father speaks and HIS Voice is described by “many waters” and loud thunder. Psalm 29, David is giving praise to God in His Holiness and Majesty and describes HIS Voice:
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The LORD is over many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
The 144,000 are in awe of FATHER’S plan and now that the maturing process is completed and they are prepared to carry out their individual callings on a collective basis, the gratitude is immense and praise pours out in Heaven as the harpists play their harps. As the mysteries unfold before their very eyes and ears, the Wisdom is overpowering. Only now is the plan fully appreciated by those who submitted to HIS call for HIS Love drew them into full submission. Further, they had no need for a full explanation of the plan for they fully trusted IN HIM to bring forth a blessed end to the suffering of mankind.
I have played guitar for over 50 years. Your ears become sensitive to perfect pitch and you can easily detect when a guitar is out of tune. The unique vibration of each string correlates to the other strings in perfect harmony. Each of the six strings is unique and is not exactly like the other strings. Each has its own function and is in unity with the others. When properly tuned with each other, they create a beautiful chord. When one string is slightly out of tune, there is discord. When a group of musicians are playing together, the out of tune string is easily detected. Each string vibrates to create sound and those vibrations are complementary to the vibrations of the other strings. We too must come in tune with FATHER so that we become a beautiful song of praise. Only after we come in unity and in perfection do we minister peace and tranquility. Consider the magnificence of the new song in Heaven as the 144,000 are in total unity with The Lamb and FATHER.
Our Heavenly Father’s Voice is discernable to every tongue on earth and HIS Voice is described as “many waters” here as it is in Ezekiel’s vision:
Ezekiel 43:2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.
“Many waters” are the voices of unity of the Sons who speak only what they hear from Our Heavenly Father. In Heaven, all are in unity and one accord thus the many voices bespeak of the many tongues found throughout creation who have come together. The Sons are standing on Mt. Zion, the highest place of authority with The Lamb. The Sons have now been glorified with Him. Paul states in Romans 8:
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Thunder denotes power and the power has now been given to the Sons who have become fully mature and understand its proper use. So we now have a scene of authority (standing on Mt. Zion) and power (voice of loud thunder) being attributed to the mature Sons. We will soon see the overcoming of strongholds of both the earth-dwellers and the tumultuous sea of humanity. Before that takes place, the Sons are standing in awe of the majesty of FATHER and HIS beauty of Holiness. The harps are in tune and have become a seamless expression of praise. Heaven rejoices!
