“Then I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together. This great choir sang a wonderful new song in front of the throne of God and before the four living beings and the twenty-four elders. No one could learn this song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. They have kept themselves as pure as virgins, following the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among the people on the earth as a special offering to God and to the Lamb. They have told no lies; they are without blame.” Rev 14:1-5
Let’s look at this.🤔 You have 144000 from every tribe that have HIS NAME and His Father’s name written on their foreheads. Representation from every tribe with His name (yeshua) and His father’s name (YHWH) etched on their brain. There is something about truly knowing His name and the name of our father that separates us from all the dwellers on planet earth. Moses asked to know the name of the God who was sending him back to Egypt. (Exo. 3:13). There is NO power in serving a generic god.🤔 Truly knowing the identity of the one you serve brings identity to yourself. It causes you to truly know who you are. It separates you from the religious pack.
Then in verse 2 John hears a sound from heaven. Many translations render this as a “voice” from heaven. The word sound is translated from the Greek word “phone”. Which tends to lean towards sound in this instance. A sound that initially sounded like thunder but evolved into the sound of harpist playing music before the throne with a choir singing a new song. Sometimes you hear from heaven an indistinguishable sound but if you will press in deeper there will come clarity. Sometimes you have to press beyond what at first thought is noise to hear the more defined sound of music and voices. Many people having heavenly encounters fail to press deeper to find clarity. Faith allows the white noise of heaven to begin to sound like music.
A new song that only those who are redeemed can sing. There is a sound that only the warriors of Christ can release. Those who have never laid their lives down for Him cannot release this sound. It is a refined sound that those who have separated themselves from sexual impurity and speak only the truth can release. Mmmmm… that doesn’t seem fair. You mean a generation groomed on spiritual participation trophies might not qualify.🤔 We have a Conquering King leading a Conquering army, that sing a song only the conquering can sing! Wow how novel.🤔
“Holy Father, teach us the words to this new song. Lead us in a chorus of the song of heaven. Teach us to hear the sound of heaven’s song. In the name of Yeshua… Amen!” Pastor Rusty
