Two Songs and The Bowls

Revelation 15. Contents of this chapter: Two songs, then the seven bowls of wrath. As the seven angels prepare to pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath (15:1), [which will be the climax of His wrath], a great choir composed of the victorious martyrs will sing the song of Moses, which was the very first song in Scriptures, commemorating God's bringing of His people out of Egypt; And they are singing the song of the Lamb, celebrating His bringing of them into His millennial Kingdom (15:2-4). Thus, this chapter contains the first and the last songs in Scripture.
The song of Moses was sung by Israel after God miraculously delivered them through the Red Sea. Note the comparison of these two songs:

• The Song of Moses was sung near the Red Sea. (Exodus 15)
  

• The Song of the Lamb is sung near the glassy sea (Rev.15:2).
  

• The Song of Moses dealt with rescue.

• The Song of the Lamb deals with rescue.
  

• The Song of Moses was sung by those brought out of Egypt.

• The Song of the Lamb is sung by those brought to heaven.
  

This song in heaven is the praise to God for His answer to their prayer, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Rev.6:10. God is now about to avenge in this climatic judgment of these seven golden bowls full of His wrath. It seemed earlier that Anti-Christ was winning. But in the end, the true Christ wins! Your circumstances at this moment may appear as defeat and despair. But take comfort in God's promises. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: 'For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom.8:35-39.
