New Song
The culmination of this Psalm is happening right before our eyes:
Psalms 96:1-13 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord , all the earth. Sing to the Lord , bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Give to the Lord , O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.” Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord . For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.
The "new song" is a Biblical euphemism for the global rebuilt Davidic tabernacle worship order...we call it 24/7 prayer and worship. Every time you see the phrase "New Song" in the Bible, you will see end time judgment either north (up the page) or south (down the page) of it...every time.
The New Song is very important...it IS THE plan for the Bride in the end times. The only church that will be standing in victory by the time Jesus splits the sky is the continually praying church. This isn't my idea. This is Jesus' idea:
Luke 18:6-8 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
Jesus says that the actual end time pursuit of a night and day cry for justice is called "faith"...faith is confidence that what you hope for will happen. The end time pure and spotless Bride will only want one thing to happen: for God to come back asap. She is supposed to desire this RIGHT NOW, but according to the Bible, it is going to take a little help from heaven for her to cast off every other harlotry and actually desire, with all of her attention and strength, Jesus' return. That help is called "tribulation." Tribulation is the word we use to describe God's removal of every man-based strength in order to get those He loves to choose Him as their only strength, if they will. The "New Song" is the Biblical way of describing what will happen as the Bride comes into this reality. She will desire Jesus' return so much that she will spend huge chunks of her time contending for it...praying to music... just like Israel did when David was king. This is what Jesus' equates to end-time faith in God.
You can have faith in lots of thing. You can have faith the lions will win the Super Bowl (sorry, Sam, it prolly won't happen), you can have faith that government health care will be better than what we had, you can have faith that all religions will take you to the same place. Because God gave such dignity to mankind, He gave us complete freedom to choose what we have confidence in. Adam and Eve put their faith in satan's lie that life was better outside of God's leadership.
Faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob really means CONFIDENCE that God's leadership is good, despite what my eyes and everyone around me tries to tell me.
Confidence isn't something you are born with. No one comes out of the womb confident about anything. A confident athlete has spent time learning what she can ,or cannot, do, then, in competition, her confidence pushes her to the highest level she has. A confident business person has had a chance to overcome a few challenges and learned what he is capable of. That confidence takes Him to the next level when the next opportunity arises.
Faith is confidence. Confidence is developed over time. Faith in God is developed by leaning against Him in prayer and then seeing Him move. Faith builds over time. The healed headache gives me confidence to pray for the hurting back...that healing gives me confidence to pray for something bigger. Our whole lives, if we see them the right way, are small training seminars intended to develop faith...but it requires the right attitude...it requires the right mindset...it requires agreement with the Truth: 1.God is the rightful leader of creation, 2. He has a well established plan to partner with His people to come back to earth, 3. He has already paid the price in full, won the victory, and given me the authority to enforce His victory.
Without this mindest, I will fall away from Truth as the training seminars get more intense. Falling away from truth is called "blasphemy"...accusing God of being the one at fault. "God won't give me what I need" is the oldest lie in the book...literally...great offense is coming with Truth because many don't think God wants to disrupt their comfort. That is EXACTLY what He intends to do, though. Agreeing with Truth now protects me from offense later.
Walking in the fullness of this truth naturally produces worship. Worship is simply the highest expression of desire. Desire is the currency of the kingdom of God. You get what you desire when you express it with your words (prayer). You spend your desire with your words:
Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
The New Song is the promised expression of this reality in the time that Truth is emerging. This is the truth that is being birthed into the earth right now: there is no life apart from God.
John 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
God is the Author of life, and the light of mankind. If He was present, we could actually live without the sun, but even with the sun present we cannot live without God. This truth is about to manifest physically. For 6,000 years God has been super patient in letting people wrestle this out over 70 or 80 years called their lifetime, but in one generation, truth is coming no matter where you are in life.
Just like a mom-to-be gets month after month of slow development of her little one inside her tummy...the last month comes and that little guy is coming out...one way or the other. Truth is about to break in. It will not be pretty for anyone disagreeing with truth. In fact, many people THINK they agree with Truth...they go to church, they feed the poor, read the Bible...but they are actually mostly concerned with making the best of THEIR life right now...this is opposed to Truth. Truth says there IS NO LIFE until God comes back home. Those in agreement with truth take pleasure in nothing that doesn't advance the events of that reality:
II Peter 3:11-13 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
The comfort bubble the American church has lived in for too long has allowed us to erroneously believe God was most interested in our good and full lives now before the head of the household is home! Offer Him yourself as a nice God-fearing person, offer Him a godly family, church, or city and he will smile on us and come back later. No. Not true. God called His presence with us in HIS garden on earth very good. His mind hasn't changed. Jesus DESIRES we are with Him...face to face:
John 17:24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Those in agreement with Truth "spend themselves" calling Him back fervently, and then walking out the reality of preparing for His return by enforcing His victory on the earth in advance of His return. This is the New Song.
The events of Truth's emergence will force everyone to decide: am I for Truth, or am I for something other than Truth...trying to attach a good bit of Jesus to MY idea of life. This will no longer work. Everyone will feel the raw reality of their decision incrementally as the contractions intensify, and the labor gets heavier...until the day Truth is here again.
Amos 9:9-12 “For I will give the command and will shake Israel along with the other nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, yet not one true kernel will be lost. But all the sinners will die by the sword— all those who say, ‘Nothing bad will happen to us.’ “In that day I will restore the fallen house of David. I will repair its damaged walls. From the ruins I will rebuild it and restore its former glory. And Israel will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations I have called to be mine. ” The lord has spoken, and he will do these things.
