- 59-
But Moses and the children of Israel sang on the other side of the sea a song of
thanksgiving andtriumph, which, repeated every Sabbath in the Temple, when the
drink-offering of the festivesacrifice was poured out, reminded Israel that to all time
the kingdom was surrounded by the hostilepowers of this world; that there must
always be a contest between them; and that Jehovah wouldalways Himself interpose
to destroy His enemies and to deliver His people. Thus that great event isreally not
solitary, nor yet its hymn without an echo. For all times it has been a prophecy, a
comfort,and a song of anticipated sure victory to the Church. And so at the last, they
who stand on the "seaof glass mingled with fire," who have "gotten the victory," and
have "the harps of God," "sing the songof Moses, the servant of God, and the song of
the Lamb."
