Revelation 14:3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.
Back in Revelation 5:9, the four living creatures around the Throne were singing a new song. Now the choir has expanded to include the elders and the 144,000. You may recall that I wrote of this third song representing the song of Tabernacles, the final deliverance of the old nature. There were two songs mentioned concerning Moses: one of deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 15) and at the end of his life before the children were to enter the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 32). This third song is now being sung by a greater contingent in Heaven.
It is an interesting reality how a song can carry a message and is easily learned by those who hear it. When you combine words with a melody, you are wired to remember it. The masses are able to sing along with the artist at sporting events and other gatherings. Have you ever noticed that a certain song when heard will “stick” with you all day long? What do you think would happen when a new song from Heaven is sung in your presence? It becomes a part of you as well. It is burned into your consciousness.
“FATHER, we long to hear this new song, open our hearts and ears to hear!”
Revelation 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”
These 144,000 were redeemed from the “earth”. At a personal level, the earth represents the soulish realm. Those who operate in this realm eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and thus they judge other people according to their own perception of things. The 144,000 have left this realm and have entered the Heavenly realm and eat from the tree of life with its healing leaves. They are awaiting orders to begin the deliverance and harvest of mankind. The objective of ruling and reigning is not one of self interest but instead of bring forth the Divine Intent of Love to all of mankind. In this Our Heavenly Father is glorified. These kings and priests are to minister service to mankind in a righteous manner unlike the worldly counterparts who have sought to enslave the masses.
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
10 Sing to the LORD a new song,
And His praise from the ends of the earth,
You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,
The villages that Kedar (darkness: sea) inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of Sela (Jehovah’s rock: earth) sing,
Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD,
And declare His praise in the coastlands.
13 The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man;
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies.
Be assured that the inhabitants of the earth will soon learn this new song as The Lamb and His army go forth into all the land to reclaim, redeem, and return it to a state where all will proclaim the Kingdom has come. The praise and joy this new song brings to those who surround the Throne will soon be sung by the inhabitants of the earth and sea. This song is the song of reconciliation of all mankind and will contain the gratitude and praises for the beauty of the Plan which will soon unfold before the eyes of all of creation. Prepare to sing!
