And They Sung a New Song (7 of 12)
Series: A Closer Look at Heaven
Dan Rodgers
Revelation 5:9-14
INTRODUCTION:
1. Our message last week was, "Heaven, a Place of Eternal Light." Tonight we want to talk singing—the kind of singing that will take place in heaven.
2. Of course, you and I understand that all music sung here below is sometimes not quite so heavenly. In my estimation, most people fall into one of four different groups of singers:
a. Those who really can sing
b. Those who can somewhat sing—at least they stay on key

3. Most Bible teachers believe these creatures represent certain characteristics of Christ, as seen in the four different faces of each beast (discuss).
4. What is the primary function of these creatures? The answer is found in (4:8). B. (Who else is singing in 5:9)? The four and twenty elders:
1. We've already found in our earlier studies that the four and twenty elders represent the church saints. So, then, we are the ones who will be singing a new song in glory.
