Richard T. Ritenbaugh
Given 13-Oct-11; Sermon #FT11-02; 67 minutes
Description: (hide)
Richard Ritenbaugh, asking us how much our time is absorbed in music, from elevator music, radio music, listening to CD’s, cell-phones, computers, humming, playing musical instruments, etc. Nature is replete with the sounds of music: birds, crickets, frogs. God’s throne is serenaded with choirs of angels. The Psalms are songs of praise and supplication. Revelation describes angelic choirs in front of God’s throne and the thrones of the 24 elders. God is always enveloped in music. The angel Hillel apparently had musical instruments as body parts. Unfortunately, Satan is now inspiring the perverted use of music heard on the radio today. When we are changed into Spirit Beings, we, as the called-our first fruits, will again be involved in making music, singing a unique new song before the throne of God, following the Lamb. The song that we will sing probably derives from several songs of Moses, celebrating the Exodus. Physical Israel on the banks of the Red Sea in Exodus can compare with Spiritual Israel (the Israel of God) on the banks of the Sea of Glass in Revelation. The themes of atonement, redemption and judgment also have parallels in both Exodus15/Deuteronomy32 and Revelation 4:15; 15 . The Promised Land could well be a type the Kingdom of God. Our task at this time is to choose life.
