Psalms 98:1 "O sing unto the Lord a new song; For He hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and His holy arm, hath gotten Him the victory."

This new song will be sung at the return of our Lord and Savior, at the sounding of the seventh trumpet. This New Song is spoken of in Revelation 14:1-3.

Revelation 14:1 "And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads."

Revelation 14:2 "And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:"

Revelation 14:3 "And they sung as it wre 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."

At this time all of our Lord's enemies are made His footstool. They have been done away with, and are not here to deceive anyone for the thousand year Millennium period. As we read in Psalms 97, Jesus Christ will reign upon the earth at this time and the entire world, all peoples of all races will be in our Lord's kingdom. Its time is not far away from now, as many of the things of end time prophecy are history to us living in flesh bodies today. You can share in our Lord's kingdom, and answer to the summons to sing this song, all you have to do is receive His Word today, and repent and follow His ways.

Psalms 98:2 "The Lord hath make known His salvation: His righteousness hath He openly shewed in the sight of the heathen."

The Lord makes known His salvation through those that are faithful to His Word, in telling others of the saving grace that our Lord offers to those that will repent and follow Him. That is what your function is on this earth, to sow the seeds of truth to bring others to the saving knowledge of Christ. The time is coming shortly when righteous-ness will be shown in the sight of all the nations of the earth. God's people will be delivered up to speak, as recorded in Mark 13:11, and it will not be them that speak, but the Holy Spirit that will speak through them.

Mark 13:9 "But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them."

Mark 13:10 "And the gospel must first be published among all nations."

Mark 13:11 "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought before-hand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost [Spirit]."

Whether your physical body is saved or not, your soul is preserved to the day of redemption. The seeds of truth can only be planted by those faithful to the Holy Spirit and our heavenly Father. This message of the gospel of salvation must first be made known and presented by our mouths to all the nations of the earth, and it shall be done.

It is for this sake that we are not even to premeditate what we will say when brought up before their councils and churches or synagogues, for it will be the Holy Spirit that will place the right words for that moment in our minds, and mouths. You will be a testimony to the Name of Jesus Christ. When the gospel goes out to the whole world, who do you suppose is going to send it? Some super-preacher? No, but faithful servants who have the Word of God flowing their their mouths by the Holy Spirit. It will be spread around the world, just as news flashes are broadcasted today. It will be the Holy Spirit speaking through the mouths of His elect.

Psalms 98:3 "He hath remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."

Our Heavenly Father has made a everlasting covenant with Abraham, and many of the other prophets and apostles, and every last one of those covenant promises will be honored by our Lord. All of those prophecies dealing with Israel, from the time of the Judges, the kings and even after Israel was split into two houses or nations, God has fulfilled every promise that He has made to both the house of Israel, the ten tribes to the north, and the house of Judah, which includes the tribes of Benjamin and Judah. At the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, all the ends of this earth will have seen the salvation of our Heavenly Father. We are living in a generation that will witness the events of the end times, as they become part of our lives. The end of this earth age of flesh man is coming to a close, and it will be in our generation.

Psalms 98:4 "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise."

This is a summons for all of God's elect, for those with the truth of God's Word sealed away in their hearts and minds; that will not take the name nor number of Satan with he arrives shortly, to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, and sing His praises. Our Lord is telling you what to expect on that moment when the seventh trump sounds, and we are in the presence of our Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalms 98:5 "Sing unto the Lord with the harp; With the harp, and the voice of a psalm."

Psalms 98:6 "With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King."

This time of our Lord's return all the earth will bow a knee to Jesus the King, and all of those that remained faithful to the Lord through these final days while Satan and his religious beast kingdom ruled, will be singing and be part of that joyful singing.

Psalms 98:7 "Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein."

The entire world will be shaken at the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and every soul living in their flesh bodies will be changed into their incorruptible bodies at this time. There will be a change to this earth, and world age, for the things important to these flesh bodies, will no longer exist. "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." These flesh bodies simply cannot last for the thousand years of our Lord's reign, and that is why all flesh is done away with, and all flesh is changed into the new incorruptible body.

Psalms 98:8 "Let the floods clap their hands: Let the hills be joyful together"

Next verse to complete the sentence. Nature itself longs for the return of our Lord.

Psalms 98:9 "Before the Lord; For He cometh to judge the earth: With righteousness shall He judge the world, and the people with equity."

Jesus Christ is not a unfair judge, but will judge the people fairly, and with equity. Remember that you will have the laws of God within your mind of that incorruptible body, and you will not have to ask your neighbor what is right and of God. When you will be judged at the close of the Millennium age, that judgment will be according to what you did with what you knew to be right. Our Lord knows the thoughts of each individual, and He also know what you did with those thoughts. What you do is recorded in the books, and now what you think. You can't help what you think, but you can control the actions based you your thoughts. Those are your works. again:

Revelation 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

This is at the great white throne judgment, at the end of the Millennium age. And the books were opened that recorded your works, not your thoughts. It is those things that you do and say during that thousand year period of Christ's kingdom here on earth. Those of the elect that did not worship Satan during this age of the flesh received their rewards at the close of this earth age of flesh man, at the sounding of the seventh trumpet. But those judged worthy by the Lamb at the close of the Millennium age are those that were true to Christ for that thousand year period. Your works do matter in this age and the next.

Revelation 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

No matter where souls are stored for this time of judgment, in heaven or on this earth or and the bottomless pit, in the end, every man will be judged according to their works. Remember that women and children are not mentioned here, for in the millennium age, there are no children nor women for all souls are in their incorruptible body, at maturity, and with a clear mind. All souls will be as the angels are, and that is masculine.

Our Heavenly Father knows exactly what you have done both in this earth age of flesh man and during the Millennium age, and He is a fair and just God. If you have repented then those sins are washed away, and blotted out from the books in heaven, and you will not be judged for sins covered under the shed blood of Christ. That is why our prayers must be in "Jesus' name", that we are stating that we accept and believe that Jesus paid the price for all our sins, and Jesus then becomes our advocate before the throne of God. No one will get away with anything they do, and that is why it is better to receive the summons that our Lord has given to you. Be humble in your approach the Father and beg forgiveness for your sins. Then joyfully love and serve Him, and gladly accept the summons to our Lord's table at his coming to this earth.
