Prepare: "And I saw.. those who been victorious over the beast..They held harps.. and they sang the song of Moses.. and the song of the Lamb..."(Rev 15:3)
Read: Exodus 15:1-21
How perceptive a song! We see a tactically advanced, military deployment made powerless before weaponless slaves. We see the mortality of Pharaoh, and a defeat so shameful and so complete that he could never chase Israel afterwards. We see an Almighty God, who makes a way where there is absolutely no way. We see a God unequaled even beyond exaggeration. We see His unfailing love in every step of the journey. We see the surrounding nations stunned into silence that they dare not interfere with Israel's sojourn. We see Miriam transform the song of Moses into dance and celebration.
The significance of the song increases when, it is repeated in the vision of John (Revelation 15:3). There is parallelism in content and meaning in the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb. Both are songs of deliverance from bondage. It's not just from the consequences of sin, it's about deliverance from Satan./ When Pharaoh was broken, Satan was broken. These songs point out our complete rescue from Satan. It means Satan has no hook or hold over God's people anymore. It means we live in complete freedom from any guilt or oppression of the past. We are a new creation in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17) - old things have passed away, behold all things are new.
Respond: Claim this promise "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36)
