“
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb”. (
Rev 15:3)
We who hope to be members of the bride class and joint-heirs with Him are expected to learn to sing the song of Moses the servant AND the song of the Lamb,
for "
worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing." Realizing that this new song is the tidings of great joy which shall be to all people, we are correspondingly interested to know to what extent we have learned--to what extent we can sing it now. We find indeed that it is a life study to learn this lesson. We rejoice in the privilege to bear witness of our God to all those who have ears to hear, even though doing so brings reproaches, frowns, opposition. Our patience and our faith are to continue, and we are to wait for the kingdom in its beauty and the glorious "
change" in ourselves to tell to others more effectively than ever the blessed tidings.
To be able to sing both of these songs is to be able harmoniously to declare the glad tidings of life and restitution to all mankind,
taught by Moses in the Law (
the song of Moses)
which was a shadow of good things to come, with that of the Gospel message (
the song of the Lamb)
the good tidings of great joy which shall be for ALL the people.
How few there are who can honestly sing these songs and fewer yet who can harmonize them.
Many there are who possess the “
harps” of God (the Bible, the Word of God,
Rev 15:2) who can just verily sing the song of Moses, but due to the clamber and babble of the conflicting creeds cannot sing the song of the Lamb, the “
good tidings” properly, instead theirs is a song of “
bad tidings” of torment and torture for the vast majority of mankind. Let us dear brethren endeavor more and more to learn
the TRUE song (Plan)
of God, that we might render him the praise and glory, which is justly his.
The difficulty with many is that they only perceive
Half the Gospel, either that pertaining to the Church and the heavenly phase of the kingdom or that pertaining to earthly phase of the kingdom. Until you are able to properly harmonize both aspects of the kingdom, to sing both songs you will not be able to sing the true song of God.
“
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.” (
Psa 96:1-3)
