The Lamb standing on Mount Zion. "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion" (Psalms 125:1) Compare Hebrews 12:22; and see note on Revelation 7:9. 144,Revelation 7. This is clearly a symbolic number. Note that they are all: men (males); unmarried; virgins; faultless. The voice John hears sing the new song is theirs. It sounded like: the roar of a waterfall; a loud peal of thunder; harpists playing. It is a new song that omits the trivial and the trite. It sings of a NEW EXPERIENCE! This song is about the new experience of those who have been "bought for God" (Revelation 5:9). Only those who have been set free by the imputed righteousness of Christ (Romans 8:4) can understand the meaning of this. They have chosen to follow Christ and have kept themselves pure from sin (James 1:27). Therefore only those who have been REDEEMED from earth can learn this new song! [Avoid taking Revelation 14:4 a literally! Read what Paul says in 1 Timothy 4:1-5.] From the rest of mankind. They were bought for God out of the rest of the people. The first fruits are for God, and Satan takes all the other. The Harvest of the Earth is pictured in the last part of this chapter.
