THE last book of the Bible is fruitful with the glories of the Lamb. The last message of God to us abounds with the honors of our Redeemer, and teaches us that through all eternity the songs of heaven shall be the praise of God and the Lamb. Let us complete our volume with a few of these heavenly gems.
1.
“In the midst of the throne . . . in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain . . . fell down before the Lamb . . . and they sung . . . Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Rev. 5:6-10.)
2.
“They . . . have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God . . . They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” (Rev. 7:13-17.)
3.
“The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof . . . And there shall in nowise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Rev. 21:22-27.)
4.
“. . . A pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb . . . And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face, and His name shall be in their foreheads.” (Rev. 22:1-4.)
