REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Fifteen -A Swelling Anthem

 In the scene described by John, the hosts of heaven are rendering  melodious acclaim to Jesus in acknowledgment of his faithfulness and his heavenly authority.  In  this,  they are joined by voices from the earthly realm as these too share in praising both the Father and the Son.  Just as the achievements of a human son can bring great credit to parents, so  Jesus' loyal course redounds among all the creation "to the glory of God the Father."  Thus, John goes on to report: "And every creature that is in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, I heard saying: 'To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and  the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.' " - REVELATION 5:13.
