What parallel does the singing of the song of Moses create between the tribulation saints and Israel?
The song of Moses parallels Israel’s Exodus deliverance with the tribulation saints’ deliverance from suffering. Israel sang after passing through the Red Sea and seeing their adversaries destroyed; the tribulation saints, removed from suffering and standing in the Lord’s presence, likewise sing the song of Moses, showing the Exodus pattern repeated on a grander scale.
Les explains that Israel had just come through the Red Sea and looked back at the carnage of the Egyptians, their charioteers, horses, and everything else. Although from all practical aspects it was not a pretty picture, Israel could look back on years of slavery, mistreatment, and suffering and then see what had happened to their adversaries, so they could sing. That is the song of Moses in Exodus 15. Les says Revelation is such a repeat of that Exodus experience and the dealing with Pharaoh and the plagues, only on a far grander scale. He then points to another parallel: the tribulation saints, now removed from their suffering and in the presence of the Lord, will also sing the song of Moses and the song of land. He cites Exodus 15:1, where Moses and the children of Israel sang, “I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously,” and recalls a song based on the song of Moses titled “How He Hath Triumphed Gloriously.”
