“And I looked, and lo a Lamb stood on Mount Zion and with Him an hundred and forty and four thousand having His Father’s name written in their foreheads,” Rev. 14:1-5.

“THE NEW SONG OF THE REDEEMED”

“And they sang a new song BEFORE THE THRONE (OF GOD) and before the four living creatures and before the elders (of the heavenly Sanhedrin)…” Rev. 14:3 AMP.

But the Word says when Israel went out (separation) of Egypt, the house of Jacob, from the people of STRANGE LANGUAGE, Judah was (became) HIS sanctuary (dwelling place) and Israel His dominion (the territory that He rules over),” Ps. 114:1-2.

So you see until there is a total separation, we can never experience the total power of God, because God will not delight in us as a dwelling place.

And because He is absent, there continues to reign the spirit of mourning, sorrows, tears and death. The saddest thing is that even those of us who claim to be in the Kingdom are still full of mixture and strange languages, hence we cannot sing the new song and so creation is still groaning, waiting for us to have a change of language to reflect our new identity that they might be set free. Will you help creation please? Then become your real self in Him.

NO MAN COULD LEARN THAT SONG

In the same verse, we are told “no man could learn that song except the 144,000 redeemed from the earth.” This tells us that it is totally a language and revelation of the new creation man. No man can learn it except those that have been taught of God.

For, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the father, cometh unto me,” (John 6:45). By this is meant that the Father revealed the son unto such an individual.

For you cannot know the son except the Father reveals Him to you (Matt. 11:27), just as it happened with Paul (Gal. 1:15-16). Only then will you stop conferring with men – flesh and blood. At this stage, you have started learning (experiencing) who the Christ of God is. For He said we should learn of Him (Matt. 11:29).

And until you come to this experience of the guiding light within, you are still in religion. Your language has not changed, and you have not started singing a new song.

Do not forget that this new song is the new nature of a people being revealed. Now this new nature is given to a people who overcome the realms of man – the beast.

Therefore, it is promised to him that overcometh to eat of the hidden Manna (the life of God hidden in the ark is revealed to us) and will give him a white stone (symbolic of triumph and joy, a badge of honour and entry into the kingdom of God) and in the stone a NEW NAME (nature) WRITTEN, WHICH NO MAN KNOWETH SAVING HE THAT RECEIVETH IT,” Rev. 2:17.

The “new name” signifies the Christian rebirth into the kingdom of God. No man knows the name except the new born, and this is because “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself…” (1 John 5:10-11). So if you are truly born again, walking with the nature of the divine Christ, you will know it. And if you are not, you equally know it.

You cannot deceive yourself. If your life is not changing to conform to that of Christ, you know it no matter how seared your conscience may be. Dearly beloved, think of your life. How is your walk with the Father?

THE NEW NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD

Again, we find that this new name to be given to the overcomers is His name. For we read, “He that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out and I will write upon him the name of my God (Rev. 14:1) and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem (the Church of Christ) …and I WILL WRITE UPON HIM MY NEW NAME” (Rev. 3:12).

And in Rev. 19:12, we are told that this new name of His is the “Word of God.” Now the WORD (John 1:1 – Greek – Logos) of God is more than a speech. It is God in action – creating (Gen. 1:3; Ps. 33:6), revealing(Amos 3:7-8), redeeming (Ps. 107:19-20) – which was made manifest as Jesus the flesh (John 1:14).

That means this new name – the Word of God that we are receiving is the very nature of God personified in us. All that He is as the Word, the Name, we begin to manifest as He lives His life in us. So we can create, heal, and deliver, even as Saviours from Mount Zion (Obad. 20).

Oh what a new song for the redeemed. The earth minded dwellers are not qualified for this. Will you still go on with religion? The choice is yours.
