Insight from Revelation 15:<\/p>\n
Revelation 15 provides the reader of Revelation with another image of the saints who have conquered the beast. They are before the throne and they are singing \u201cthe song of Moses\u201d. The song is called the song of Moses because it is connected to the song that was sung by the Israelites when they crossed through the Red Sea (see Exodus 15). On that day, they celebrated the fact that God is a warrior and that he had delivered them from all of their enemies. This song is repeated in different forms several times in the Old Testament. According to Revelation 15:3, this song also has a different name. It is called \u201cthe song of the Lamb\u201d. The notes regarding this song and the Old Testament passages mentioned in the notes should be read carefully.<\/p>\n
The careful reader will note that John keeps seeing visions of the saints after they have conquered. See, for instance, Revelation 7:9-17, 11:11-12, 14:1-5, and 15:1-4. Why does John keep seeing visions of the saints who have conquered? Why do the churches need to read about these visions? A simple reason is that the saints need encouragement! We need to be constantly reminded that we must persevere until the end! We need to be constantly reminded that the time of suffering is short! We need to be constantly reminded that the reward for those who conquer is very great! These passages must be preached. They bring grace to God\u2019s people. They are one of the means by which God gives his people the strength to persevere until the end.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4752","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
