Music

I love stepping into the mystical world of music.

Since I became aware of them, I have been amazed with the idea that multiples of singers can be singing different words and different notes, some at different tempos, but the sound they produce (if orchestrated well,) is comforting and energizing rather than being a mere cacophony.

What then, shall our praise sound like before the throne of God?

Trying to imagine is overwhelming to my mind.

Imagine being in His presence.

That in itself will thrust us to the ground.

Next, imagine the flying creatures singing His praises, the 24 elders shouting, throwing their crowns, and falling to the ground before Him.

Think of the heavenly host standing around Him.

Next, imagine the peoples from every tribe, tongue, and nation. How could He NOT allow them to praise in their native tongues and cultures when we are gathered in unity before Him?!

We will see Him as He truly is and then we will be like Him! We will KNOW Him! We will be pushed to praise Him more and more. The seeds of our love for Him that we have tilled while on earth will sprout and bloom.

Our praises will rise, forever!

What will sound be like before His throne? Will it be physically (?) the same as we have discovered it to be here? Will our ears take in sound as they have with these bodies?

Will we all sing according to our unique cultures? Will our former sounds of dissonance be eternally resolved in Him? Will our dissonances come to the most glorious of harmonies we could ever fathom?

May our music praise Him now.
Hmmm....
