As I drank from the
cup I said, "Oh praise God for such a supply! So sweet to the taste!
How full of invigorating power! It makes me feel the joy and glow of youth."
"You never can
feel old or weary again, after drinking of this living water," said Abraham,
"for it is the water of Life. I just now gave a drink to a company of
fresh arrivals before coming to you. Did you not hear them praising God? They,
with that great group near them, are now learning to sing together, in which
you will join them, the song which we will all sing at the city gate shortly.
Some of them have it quite well now and others knew it when they came, for
it is contained in the Holy Scriptures on earth. God has revealed the order
so that all might be familiar with it. Do you remember the song?"
"Please repeat
it for me," I said, "that I may know which song you mean."
He replied: "John
was caught up in spirit so he heard the strains of this music and wrote: ‘I
heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia, salvation,
and glory, and honor, and power unto the Lord our God: And God from the throne
said, Praise our God all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small
and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the
voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying Alleluia:
Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the
Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.’" (Revelation
19:1,5,6,7)
