REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Fifteen - A New Song

 A melodic song now rings  forth.  It is sung to the Lamb by his priestly associates, the 24 elders: "And they sing a new song, saying: 'You are worthy to take the scroll and  open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of ever tribe and tongue and people and nation.' " (Revelation 5:9)  The expression "new song" occurs several times in the Bible and usually refers  to praising Jehovah for some mighty act of deliverance. (Psalm 96:1;98:1; 144:9) Thus, the new song is new because the singer  can now proclaim additional wonderful works of Jehovah and express renewed appreciation for His glorious name.
