Praise for Deliverance
Today’s Audio Devotion:
Praise for Deliverance
After the Hebrew slaves passed safely through the Red Sea, Moses and Miriam led them in a song of praise to God on the far shore of the sea. It is referred to as the song of Moses (Exodus 15:1-18). John, in his vision of the saints saved during the Tribulation (Revelation 12:11), saw those saints also standing beside a sea—“like a sea of glass mingled with fire” (Revelation 15:2, ESV). They were singing “the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb” (Revelation 15:3-4) in praise to God for His deliverance of them through His judgments on the earth.
Jews today still sing the song of Moses, their great deliverer who rescued them from destruction in Egypt. Just as Tribulation saints will sing praise to God for His deliverance of them, so it is incumbent upon Christians today to sing praises to God for His deliverance of them from the destructive power and penalty of sin.
Consider incorporating Revelation 15:3-4 into your own personal times of devotion.
Salvation is not deliverance from hell alone; it is deliverance from sin.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
