Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name. Exodus 15:1-3
There was no singing in Egypt; there was groaning; singing only follows Redemption; Moses began and ended his wilderness life with a song. That of Deuteronomy 32:1-43 is the one referred to “And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.” Revelation 15:3. Christ is our King by virtue of what He did at the Cross and our Faith in that Finished Work.
The Red Sea and the Jordan River typify the death and Resurrection of Christ. The Red Sea pictures death to sin; the Jordan River, death to self. The one separates from Egypt; the other, from the wilderness.
This, the song of Exodus 15, is the oldest song of praise in existence. The greatest poets unite in admiration of its surpassing beauty and sublimity. It is a song of praise; it’s theme is Jehovah-Jesus; it praises Him for His destruction of the enemy. It begins with Redemption and ends with Glory. In fact, this is the first of ten songs of praise recorded in the Bible; the last is “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.” Revelation 14:3. They were Redeemed by trusting Christ and what He did at the Cross, which is the only way anyone can be Redeemed.
