Why is praise appropriate for those in the throne room of heaven after the tribulation?
Praise is appropriate because those in heaven’s throne room have come out of the horrible tribulation and stand in God’s very presence. Their song, sung just before the Lord returns to set up His Kingdom, exalts Him as great, alone, and worthy, as all nations worship and glorify His name.
Les explains that this theme of exaltation, worship, and praise is certainly appropriate for those in the very throne room of heaven who have come out of that horrible tribulation experience. He points to Psalm 86, where the song declares there is none like the LORD and no works like His; all nations will come and worship before Him and glorify His name, for He is great, does wondrous things, and is God alone. Les notes this song is being sung just before the Lord will return and set up His Kingdom, showing how appropriate it is. Returning to Revelation, he says this is exactly what they will be singing and proclaiming in the very presence of God.
