My
Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 15:3
Before
Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray,
something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and
they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear
His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but
most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were
doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do
not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of
you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you
heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes
many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to
sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled
with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your
time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you
and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the
rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you
need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions
for you.
Revelation
15
The Sea of Glass
(Parenthetical passage,
Rev. 15:2-4)
And
they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are
thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are
thy ways, thou King of saints. Rev. 15:3
And
they sing... This "they" are the believers in Christ. The
"song of Moses" and the "song of the Lamb" are
the same. This is the song of redemption. God used Moses to redeem
His people from bondage in Egypt. Moses had lead the people out of
the land of Egypt to the Promised Land prefiguring now Jesus is
leading the Saints to that Promised Land we call heaven.
song
of Moses...
The song of Moses was one of triumph over Pharaoh and his armies
(Exo. 15:1-9; cp. Deut. 32:1-52).
song
of the Lamb...
The song of the Lamb is also one of triumph—victory over Satan and
all enemies of God and man (Rev. 15:3-4; cp. Col. 2:14-17).
king
of saints...
Some texts read "nations." God is King of Saints and King
of Nations.
Who
purchased this for us? Who did all the work Himself? Jesus. His works
are "marvelous". It is beyond our imagination to see a
beautiful snow-capped mountain and realize that the One who created
that, also loved us enough that He climbed on the cross and suffered
for us. He has every right to be our King. Remember in all of this,
He is not just a loving God, but a "just and true" God as
well.“Song of the Lamb” (see 5:8-14). These two songs celebrate two great redemptive events:
(1) Deliverance of Israel by God from Egypt through Moses; and
(2) Deliverance of sinners by God from sin through Christ.
Great and marvelous... This statement from the song of the Lamb extols God’s powerful works in creation as He providentially upholds the universe (compare Psalms 139:14).
Verse 3 says "Lord God Almighty"; this reminds me that Jesus truly was and is our Savior, but until He becomes Lord of our life we are miles apart from Him. This name just tells us of His overwhelming power.
Lord God Almighty,... Celebrates God's omnipotence, essential to the triumphant power of the last judgments and appears frequently in Revelation. This name just tells us of His overwhelming power.
“Almighty”: God is omnipotent (compare Amos 4:13).
The exclamation, "just and true" reflects the Old Testament truth that all of God's works are true and His ways just (Dan. 4:37; Deut. 32:4; Hosea 14:9).
“King of saints”: God is sovereign over the redeemed of every nation (compare Jer. 10:7).
The
victorious saints sang with harps the song of Moses… and the song
of the Lamb. These may be two separate songs, the first referring to
God’s faithfulness to Israel and the second referring to their
present situation in the Great Tribulation. In this song in Rev.
15:3-4 God is praised for His great deeds, justice, truth (cf. Rev.
16:7), glory, and holiness.
