Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah!...” Revelation 19:6
We join Heaven’s worship
“Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand...In a loud voice they sang: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise!’...”Revelation 5:11-12.
Worship fills Heaven constantly (Isaiah 6:1-3; Revelation 19:1,4-6). When we worship the Lord here on earth we are, in actual fact, joining with the Heavenly hosts.
“...Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and all that is in them, singing: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honour and glory and power, for ever and ever!’” Revelation 5:13.
True worship has the sound of Heaven.
Heaven responds to us
“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language...And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb’...” Revelation 7:9-10.
As we lift our hearts in praise and worship to the Lord, Heaven responds with a resounding “Amen” and worships God.
“...All the angels were standing around the throne...They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, saying: ‘Amen!Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!’” Revelation 7:11-12 (read also Revelation 5:14).
A new sound
Music is an expression of the heart. Its very sound reveals the human spirit and from it has come many beautiful songs and music. The world knows:
The sound of human love.
The sound of human suffering.
The sound of national pride.
But it also knows... The sound of rebellion.
“Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshipped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up” Daniel 3:7 (read through Daniel chapter 3).
As a new creation in Christ, we now join the sound of Heaven, unknown to the world. It comes from...
A new heart (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
A new relationship (Hebrews 10:15-16)
A new spirit
We can now, by the creativity of the Spirit, bring a “new song” of praise and worship to the Lord our God.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God...” Psalm 40:3 (also Ps.149:1).
