Streams in my desert: A Choir of Billions - in his vision of heaven, the apostle John heard a choir of 144,000 voices singing. He said it sounded “like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.” Those voices will be nothing compared to the sound of billions of voices of the redeemed who will gather before the throne of God and praise Him one day in heaven. The hundred and forty-four thousand sang as it were a new song before the throne. If you are in Christ today, you will be in that choir one day in the future. Prepare now by lifting your voice in praise as you worship in your church, with your family, or by yourself. Nobody can call himself a Christian who does not worship Jesus

A Choir of Billions - in his vision of heaven, the apostle John heard a choir of 144,000 voices singing. He said it sounded “like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.” Those voices will be nothing compared to the sound of billions of voices of the redeemed who will gather before the throne of God and praise Him one day in heaven. The hundred and forty-four thousand sang as it were a new song before the throne. If you are in Christ today, you will be in that choir one day in the future.

"[The hundred and forty-four thousand] sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth."- Revelation 14:3

The largest football stadium in the United States is at the University of Michigan: capacity 107,601.

Imagine a crowd 10 times that size.

That would be the size of the largest crowd Billy Graham ever preached to - 1.1 million people in Seoul, South Korea, in 1973.

Now imagine the sound of those voices singing a hymn like “How Great Thou Art” in unison.

In his vision of heaven, the apostle John heard a choir of 144,000 voices singing.

He said it sounded “like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder” - (Revelation 14:2).

Those voices will be nothing compared to the sound of billions of voices of the redeemed who will gather before the throne of God and praise Him one day in heaven.

If you are in Christ today, you will be in that choir one day in the future.

Prepare now by lifting your voice in praise as you worship in your church, with your family, or by yourself.

Nobody can call himself a Christian who does not worship Jesus. John R. W. Stott
