“Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously;
Isaiah 12:5-6
let this be made known in all the earth.
Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a video for a friend featuring several worship songs. Worships songs have a powerful ability to communicate to God what is on our hearts.
In the passage above Isaiah encourages his readers to sing great songs about the One True God, the Holy One of Israel and it will be all the more powerful on that day when all of Christ’s followers sing a unified song of praise to God. Consider these two passages from Revelation.
All nations will come and worship you for your righteous acts have been revealed. Revelation 15:4 Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure. Revelation 19:6-8 G.K. Beale writes, Is it possible . . . that, as we declared the same truths about God as the heavenly beings do, the same Holy Spirit who is pictured as being before the throne would deepen and transform our understanding of God and his glory in a way that touches our whole being, in its spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and even physical components? (Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, 108).
