1. How can the “new song” of Revelation 5:9 be the same “new song” of Revelation 14:3 which no man could learn but the 144,000 which were redeemed from the earth when both the 24 elders and the 4 beasts sang a “new song” in Revelation 5:8-10?
These THREE ALL sang the
SAME NEW SONG for they
ALL REPRESENT God's Elect redeemed from the earth. These are not three separate groups, as you shall see.
Okay, please allow me to explain about the "Four Beasts" beasts for a moment for you to think about.
Many people will think it is ridiculous that the four beasts in the book of Daniel - - the one looking like
a lion with wings, one like
a bear, and another as
a leopard could
SYMBOLIZE the
rule of Satan throughout earth history THROUGH CARNAL MEN?
Let me ask you "pointedly" if you also think it is ridiculous that in Revelation a very similar image of four beasts, or living creatures, with wings, one creature like a lion, another like a calf, another with a face as a man, and the fourth like a flying eagle, could be
symbolic of the
rule of Christ throughout earth history THROUGH HIS CHOSEN ELECT?
It is not strange or ridiculous at all. Christ is the eternal promise of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Christ is the calf or Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, Christ is the Man who would take away the sins of His people, and Christ is the eagle, the protector of all His people under His Wings. These are all representing God's redemption plan for His people from Earth! Selah!
In case you haven't learned yet, Scripture interprets Scripture, not a man, not history books, not a popular opinion, and most certainly not Church tradition (though I can see that most Christians today may think so).
See, Satan is A SPIRIT and RULE that
CONTRASTS the SPIRIT and RULE of God. Satan's four beasts represent the body of carnal men that he rules over while Christ's four beasts are the body of redeemed men that He rules over.
The Bible is its own interpreter. Is not the waters that bring life contrasted with the poisons that bring death? Is not the lamb contrasted with the wolf? Is not the good tree contrasted with the bad tree? Israel with Israel, children with children, sacrifice with sacrifice? So no, it's not ridiculous, it's exactly what we would expect if we have been studying the scriptures and know the consistency of God in His perfect design, cryptic imagery, and Biblical harmony.
God's kingdom construct is SYMBOLIZED by four living creatures, a Lion, a Calf, a Man, and Eagle while Satan's kingdom construct is symbolized by four beasts, a Lion, a Bear, A leopard. God uses Satan's beasts as a judgment upon Israel, which are DEFINITELY not four nations:
Hosea 13:7-9
[7] Therefore
I will be unto them
as a lion:
as a leopard by the way will
I observe them:
[8]
I will meet them
as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will
I devour them
like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
[9]
O Israel, thou hast
destroyed thyself; but
in me is thine help.
See? God will come against Israel as a judgment as Lion, Leopard and, Bear! It is the foolish who mook things they do not understand.
Therefore, the four beasts of Revelation 5 is the body of God's people who have been redeemed by Christ who sang a same new song that 24 elders and 144,000 sang! These three all symbolically representing the people Christ has redeemed.
2. How can the 4 beasts be redeemed from the earth by His “blood” as the KJV translation indicates. I believe the ASV version of Revelation 5: 8-10 is the more accurate not creating this problem. In the ASV the Elders and Beasts are singing about the redeemed they are not the redeemed.
I am not going to debate about translations. I do not support ASV for several reasons, including the fact that ASV is the favorite of the
Jehovah’s Witnesses and is the basis of their
New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, translated by members of their group and published by the
Watchtower Society. That is why ASV wants to keep the 144,000 separate from 24 elders and the beasts based on their doctrine that the 144,000 are Jewish men only.
