9
And they sung a new song, saying , Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain , and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11
And I beheld , and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
I like the unity of Revelation 5:
THEY sung a new song
Hast redeemed US to God
Hast made US unto our God kings and priests
WE shall reign
Who is John referring to? "...and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." (verse 10)
He is not saying everyone in every people group will be saved, but God will have a remnant out of every people group.
Beloved: there will be no second-class heaven. There will be no illegal citizenship to moan over. There will be no one people group lording over another. There will be no one people group holding all the positions of authority while everyone else sings. None of that. There will be no inequality in value, though rewards will differ. We will all be treated as king-priests, all in reigning authority, all singing the song of the ages in love to Jesus the Lamb. There won't be a human being demanding to be worshiped except Jesus the Son of Man. The emphasis will be on Jesus. This is a one world order, a peace, a unity, that man cannot achieve without God at the head.
I say Color Me Holy. I say unite me in Love with those who love LOVE (Jesus).
If we will have Outrageous Church, we must have an outrageous heart to see the redeemed from every kindred, tongue, people, and nation, not bowing to a set of cultural rules or doing what makes us comfortable, but redeemed and made into the king priests that God is calling for, reigning in the authority God has given. Yes, I am convinced that Heaven is going to be pretty colorful, filled with the holy beauty of Jesus, emanating from US.
I hope you're ready!
