The Great Festal Gathering and Song of Heaven
Revelation 5:11-13
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders…


I. THE COMPLACENCY WITH WHICH CHRIST LOOKS BACK ON HIS OWN ATONING WORK AND SUFFERINGS.

II. THE PERPETUAL EFFICACY OF THE SAVIOUR'S SACRIFICE.

III. THE CONTINUED IDENTITY OF CHRIST'S PERSON AS GOD-MAN MEDIATOR.

IV. REDEMPTION IS THE GRAND THEME OF ADORATION FOR UNREDEEMED ANGELS AS WELL AS FOR THE REDEEMED FAMILY OF GOD.

V. THE PRE-EMINENT DIGNITY AND BLISS OF THE RANSOMED SAINTS.

VI. THE UNITY WHICH PERVADES THE HEAVENLY RANKS.

VII. THE VISION SEEMS INTENDED TO PREPARE THE CHURCH ON EARTH FOR HER OWN SUFFERINGS, AND RECONCILE HER TO HER APPROACHING TRIBULATION.

(J. R. Macduff, D. D.)
