Apocalipsis 14:3

3 Ese gran coro entonaba un nuevo canto maravilloso delante del trono de Dios y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos. Nadie podía aprender ese canto aparte de los 144.000 que habían sido rescatados de la tierra.

Apocalipsis 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 14:3

And they sung as it were a new song
The song of redeeming grace; the same with that in ( Revelation 5:9 ) ; see the note there: this is to be understood of the 144,000, who sung it

before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders;
that is, publicly in the church, the ministers and members being present; of these; (See Gill on Revelation 4:4); (See Gill on Revelation 4:6);

and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and]
four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth;
out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation; from among the men of the earth, and out of the apostate church, called the earth, in opposition to the pure church, which so often goes by the name of heaven in this book; and these, in consequence of being redeemed by the blood of Christ, were called by grace out of the world; and such only can sing the song of redemption with application to themselves; and say he has redeemed us, and loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood; to none but these is it given to know spiritually and experimentally the mysteries of electing and redeeming grace; the natural and carnal man neither knows nor receives the things of the Spirit of God; nor can he learn them by hearing, reading, study, and conversation, unless it be only in a notional and speculative way. The Jews speak of a new song, which the angels have never used {m};

``it is said, ( Psalms 98:1 ) ; "sing unto the Lord a new song"; a new song, for there is an old song; but this song is what the angels never praised him with, and therefore it is new;''

and indeed the song of redeeming love is peculiar to men.

Apocalipsis 14:3 In-Context

1 El Cordero y los 144.000
Luego vi al Cordero de pie sobre el monte Sión, y con él había 144.000 que tenían el nombre del Cordero y el de su Padre escrito en la frente.

2 Y oí un sonido que venía del cielo, era como el rugido de grandes olas del mar o el retumbar de fuertes truenos. Parecía el sonido de muchos arpistas tocando juntos.

3 Ese gran coro entonaba un nuevo canto maravilloso delante del trono de Dios y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos. Nadie podía aprender ese canto aparte de los 144.000 que habían sido rescatados de la tierra.

4 Ellos se han mantenido tan puros como vírgenes,
y son los que siguen al Cordero dondequiera que va. Han sido comprados de entre los pueblos de la tierra como ofrenda especial
para Dios y para el Cordero.

5 Ellos no han dicho mentiras y son intachables.
