The Prophetic Song of the Lord
42:10–13 with Revelation 22:17 gives us the clearest picture of the End Time church praying in conjunction with prophetic singing to invite the second coming of Jesus. The End Time worship movement will be led by prophetic music and songs. Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you coastlands and you inhabitants of them! Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare His praise in the coastlands. The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man [Jesus’s second coming]; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies. “I have held My peace. . . . I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once. I will lay waste the mountains and hill [End Time judgments] . . . ” —Isaiah 42:10–15 There will surely be an intensification of the Spirit’s work in releasing His songs before the second coming of Jesus. God’s treasury of heavenly music will be opened up and released to the body of Christ. This music will reflect a full range of the attributes of God, from His tender mercy to His terrible judgments. Jesus has been releasing His songs through the church throughout the centuries. Some of these songs are spontaneous, as they are sung for the first and only time in worship services, prayer meetings, home groups, or in one’s private devotional time. Others become well known as they are written down and sung by millions. These “prophetic songs” from heaven have been written down and sung as hymns by choirs across the earth. The Holy Spirit is even now anointing and inspiring many prophetic musicians and singers to sing the intimate songs of God’s heart along with the great war cry of the lion of Judah. In light of the nature and importance of music, it does not surprise us that God uses singers to inspire and activate the prophetic anointing (2 Kings 3:15). 193
