REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!?Chapter Twenty Nine - Singing as if a New Song - Continue

 And what is this new song?  As we noted in discussing Revelation 5:9, 10, the song has to do with Jehovah's Kingdom purposes and his wonderful provision, through Jesus Christ, for making spiritual Israel "a kingdom priest  and to our God."  It is a son of praise to Jehovah publicizing the new things he is accomplishing by means of the Israel of God and in behalf of it. (Galatians 6:16) Members of this spiritual Israel respond to the psalmist's invitation: "Praise Jah, you people! Sing to Jehovah a new song, his paise in the congregation  of loyal ones.  Let Israel rejoice   in it grand Maker, the sons  of Zion-let them be joyful to their King." (Psalm 149:1, 2)  True,  those words  were written ten centuries agoo, but in one day, they have been sung  with new understandin0g. in 1914 the Messianic Kingdom was born.  (Revelation 12:10)   In 1919 Jehovah's people on earth  began to announce "the word of the kingdom"  with renewed zeal.  (Matthew 13:19) Stimulated by the society's year text for 1919 (Isaiah 54:17) and encouraged by their restoration to a spiritual paradise, they began in that year to 'sing to Jehovah with music in their hearts.' - EPHESIANS 5:19.
