The voice of harpers (Revelation 14:2)


harp


And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

Revelation 14:2 - King James

 

⚪ The biblical message heard by the devoted servants

Rev. 14 [...]
And [I heard] the voice WHICH I HEARD WAS AS THAT of harpers harping with their Harps. — "The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments constitute what the Lord Himself designates 'the Harp of God.' (Rev. 15:2.) And the various testimonies of the Law and the Prophets are the several chords of that Harp, which, when tuned by the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts, and swept by the fingers of the devoted servants and searchers after Divine Truth, yields the most enchanting strains that ever fell on mortal ears."— F233; Rev. 5:8.

⚫ The members of Zion cannot and do not keep still

Therefore John, representing the servant class, hears "a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps".- Vs. 2. The American Revised Version renders this, "the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers." The picture shows that the members of Zion cannot and do not keep still. They cannot, because "in his temple doth everyone speak of his glory". (Ps. 29:9) Being in the temple, they must sing forth Jehovah's praise. Where there are those who claim to be followers of Christ and who are using the soft pedal concerning Satan's organization, or who insist on keeping still and ignoring the fact that Satan has an organization, such is conclusive proof that they are not of Zion, whatever else might be their position. Let no one who has entered into a covenant with the Lord be deceived into remaining quiet and inactive. This picture and many corroborating texts show that the temple class must be active to the very end.
