A Choir Of Billions!
"The hundred and forty-four thousand sang as it were
a new song before the throne, before the four living
creatures, and the elders; and no
one could learn
that song except the hundred and forty-four
thousand who were redeemed from the
earth."
Revelation 14: 3
The largest football stadium in the United
States
is at University of Michigan: capacity 107,601.
Imagine a crowd 10 times that size.
That would be the size of the largest crowd Billy Graham
ever preached —1.1 million people in Seoul, South Korea,
in 1973. Now imagine the sound of those voices singing
a hymn like “How Great Thou Art” in unison.
In his
vision of heaven, the apostle John heard a choir
of 144,000 voices singing. He said it sounded “like the
voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud
thunder” (Revelation 14:2).
Those voices will be nothing compared to the sound
of billions of voices of the
redeemed who will gather
before the throne of God and praise Him one day in
heaven.
If you are in Christ today, you will be in that choir
one day in the future. Prepare now by lifting your
voice in praise as you worship in your church,
with your family, or by yourself.
"Nobody can call
himself
a Christian who does not
worship Jesus."
John R. W. Stott
