Chapter Thirty-One/Jehovah's Works - Great and Wonderful - The Song of Moses and of the Lamb

 These loyal overcomers have harps of God. In this, they are like the temple Levites of old, who worshiped Jehovag with song to the accompaniment of harps. Some also prophesied to a harp accompaniment. (1 Corinthians 15:16; 25:103) The beautiful strains of the harp embellished Israel's songs of joy and prayers of praise and thanksgiving to Jehovah. (Chronicles 13:8; Psalm 33:2; 43:4; 57:7, 8) In times of depression or captivity, the harp was not heard. (Psalm 137:2) The presence of harps of God in this vision should whet our anticipation for an exultant, triumphant song of praise and thanksgiving to our God."

That is what John reports: "And they are singing the song of Moses and of the slave of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: 'Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity. Who will not really fear you, Jehovha, and glorify your name, because you alone are loyal? For all nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous decrees have made been made manifest.' " - REVELATION15:3, 4.
