Letter Fly

 Greetings to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

     Revelation 5:11-12 says, “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

I have been involved with music most of my life and enjoy making different sounds on different instruments, the louder the better.  The human voice is a natural producer of different sounds, some good and some bad.  I once had the opportunity to sing with 4,000 men at Moody Bible Institute, Pastor’s Conference.  I always say that pastors sing by “letter.”  They open their mouths and let her fly.  The sound resounded throughout the building as we sant “And Can It Be” at the top of our voices.

     Four thousand voices is a drop in the bucket compared to the description of the choir in the above passage.  We sometimes hear the word, “myriad” which is a number like then thousand times ten thousand.  Revelation 4 and 5 comprise a celestial symphony with a theme and variations.  It  begins with a single trumpet blast and ends with a “coda” ending with the four living creatures as they say, “Amen.”  The symphony is directed towards the Lord Jesus Christ who is worthy to receive the blessings of the music.  It  is worship in its highest form, directed to the Son of God Who is indeed Worthy to receive all of the blessings mentioned.  Now, just think of that sound and what it is going to be like when you are present to hear the wonderful blessings of heaven itself.  Revelation 5:13 goes on to say that every living creature will join in that celestial symphony, singing praise to the Son of God.  Understand that it will be every living creature, not just a few, not just the church, not just the religious, not just the dead, but every living creature and God does mean every living creature will be offering praise to God with the full sound of their voices.  The final verses of chapter five, go on with the ending when the four living creatures say, “Amen.”  you may now say, “I can’t carry a tune in a bucket.”  Well, when the time comes, you will have a perfect voice with perfect pitch with perfect hearing and you won’t believe the harmony that will be produced.  Your praise will be directed towards the Son of God Who is worthy to receive praise, honor, glory and blessing due His name!  Praise God today for His greatest piece of music ever.
