In the sermon titled "A Great Voice of Much People," Paul Mahan addresses the theological concept of heavenly worship as depicted in Revelation 19. He argues that the worship of a great multitude in heaven is a continuation of the worship that occurs on earth, emphasizing the unity and harmony of the believers' praise. Mahan illustrates this using Scripture references such as Revelation 19:1-9, which describes the collective worship of the redeemed, and Revelation 1:1-2, highlighting the revelation of Jesus Christ as central to the faith. He notes that true worship begins with the fear of the Lord and calls believers to recognize their election and redemption through Christ alone. The significance of this message lies in its affirmation of the Reformed doctrines of salvation by grace alone and the eternal joy of the communion of saints, culminating in the eschatological hope of being with Christ.
“This whole book is concerning Christ... They're saying and doing in heaven what they began saying and doing on earth.”
“Happily ever after... Well, it's not going to end that way with most people. But it will with God's people.”
“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit, heart, and soul of all prophecy.”
“True worship begins with the fear of the Lord. And all who fear, repent.”
The Bible reveals that worship in heaven is characterized by a unified voice of praise to God, declaring His glory and salvation.
