TOTAL PERFECT TRIUMPH: THE SONG

My devotion for today covered Revelation Chapter 15.  This post focuses on “The Song”.
                                                  
The Song                                                                                
And they sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
         “Great and marvelous are Your works,
         O Lord God, the Almighty;
         Righteous and true are Your ways,
         King of the nations! 
         “Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
         For You alone are holy;
         For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU,
         FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED.”  Revelation 15:3-4. 
 

On his commentary of Revelation Chapter 15, Rev. Herman Hoeksema in his book Behold he Cometh!  An Exposition of the Book of Revelation at page 525 compares the leading by Moses of the people out of the bondage of Egypt with the leading of Christ of the people out of the bondage of sin.  Rev. Hoeksema furthermore compares the song of Moses with this song and states:  “And for that same reason they now sing the same song, exalting the power of Jehovah, the salvation of His people, and the wrath visited upon the wicked power of opposition.”

In conclusion, the first post talked generally about God’s TOTAL PERFECT TRIUMPH.  The second post talked about a specific example of TOTAL PERFECT TRIUMPH:  THE REVELATION OF THE REAPERS, and like this song, the Revelation of the Reapers also exalted the power of God, the salvation of His people, and the wrath visited upon the wicked.   This third post “sings” The Song of this TOTAL PERFECT TRIUMPH.
