THE SONG OF THE SAINTS
Revelation 15 ------------- Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? --Revelation 15:4 ~~~~~ WE'VE all heard the expression "I don't get mad; I just get even." Reading about the judgments described in Revelation, one might assume that God will get "even" with sinners for their phenomenal offenses throughout the history of mankind.
The truth is that God's final judgment is a necessary expression of His holy justice. He can't turn a blind eye to sin. In fact, if He doesn't finally carry out justice, it would be a denial of His holy character. That's why in the midst of His judgments, the saints will sing His praise: "Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy...Your judgments have been manifested" (15:4). Those who know God best do not judge Him for His judgments; rather, they worship and affirm His actions.
What should surprise us is not the massive scale of God's judgments, but that He's waiting so long! Desiring that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), God is now mercifully restraining His judgments and giving maximum space to His marvelous mercy and grace. Now is the time to repent and take advantage of His patient love. And when we do, we'll join the saints in praising Him for all eternity!
O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure-- The saints' and angels' song. ____________________________ WHEN GOD'S JUSTICE IS FINALLY AND FULLY REVEALED, HIS PRAISES WILL RESOUND!
