Question for the musically inclined 'annointed'

    What can I say...I love music.

    Revelations 14:3 talks about the 144,000 and how they sing a song that no one else can learn but them.

    3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

    My question is....do the members of the 'annointed' class already know that song. If so, have any of them dared to sing it infront of others?
    I know that I'm not allowed to sing along (havent been to any meetings in a long time)...but I would be happy to strum along on my guitar while one of the 'annointed' guys belts out a few verses.
    I'm wondering if it would be sung in Greek or Hebrew.

    I'm hoping that I can hook up with an annointed person who knows the chords as well...cuz...silly me...I'm not really good at figuring that out.

    I think that the 'song' should be shared for all to enjoy.

    What do you think?

    I think it's going to kick.
    The lyrics aren't out yet (so tum-tee-tum-tee-tum-tum, is about it, so far), but the music is by Marley.
    If you really think you can do it justice on that geeetar, have a shot, snot.

    Dearest Lizard... may you have peace!

    You ask:

    Revelations 14:3 talks about the 144,000 and how they sing a song that no one else can learn but them. My question is....do the members of the 'annointed' class already know that song.
    Yes, and no. Their 'training' actually starts AFTER they are chosen and they learn that 'song' thereafter. Some of us know it now; some of us are learning it still.

    If so, have any of them dared to sing it infront of others?
    Those of us who 'know' it, 'sing' it all the time... in front of ALL of mankind.

    I know that I'm not allowed to sing along (havent been to any meetings in a long time)...
    It is not a matter of being 'allowed' or not 'allowed'. It is the ABILITY to learn it. That lies with you, not God.

    but I would be happy to strum along on my guitar while one of the 'annointed' guys belts out a few verses.
    And unfortunately, it is that type of sacrcasm that indicates your inability. I am sorry, but I speak truth to you.

    I'm wondering if it would be sung in Greek or Hebrew.
    The 'language' that is it 'sung' in is irrelevant.

    I'm hoping that I can hook up with an annointed person who knows the chords as well...cuz...silly me...I'm not really good at figuring that out.
    There is nothing to figure out. It is a 'song' of praise... glorifying the Holy One of Israel, whose name is JAH. Whether sung to melody, accompanied by a harp or a guitar, sung in English or Hebrew, the POINT is that is it sung... FROM THE HEART... and IN TRUTH. Purely and solely. It contains NO deception... no hypocrisy... no desire to make a pleasing show to earthling man... but simply is the result of the TRUE 'abundance of the heart'.

    I think that the 'song' should be shared for all to enjoy.
    Indeed, it WILL be, dear Lizard, and perhaps SUNG by all... but 'mastered'... by only a few. There is a difference. MOST will sing it in earnest for the MOST part, when and as they can; however, the sons of Israel will sing it in earnest always... completely, totally... and perpetually. They will 'learn it FULLY'.

    What do you think?
    I think my Lord has 'spoken' well on this matter. What do YOU think?

    Your servant and a slave of Christ,

    Littletoe...I think Marley is a great choice...I also think that Tony Bennett is really kewl.

    Aguest...I appreciate your kind response...from reading your reply...I would be led to believe that you are one of the annointed...and I am honored that you would reply...I am curious as to whether or not the 'annointed' ones are privy to what 'spiritual' tribe of Israel they are from...which one are you from?

    Mark J...I'm glad that you too share that song...I have a heavenly hope too but I'm afraid that I dont descend from any of the 12 tribes of 'spiritual' Israel...well as far as I know ;)
    If I could choose a tribe it would probably be Naphtali..because..well..the name sounds really kewl.

    I would enjoy hearing the song...whether or not I may play along.

    If you would be so kind...please...would both Aguest and Mark J send me sound clips of the song?

    I think that Lizard's question is one that has been on the mind of many.

    AGuest..May you have peace!

    I have a few questions on this subject.
    Is it the same song (a literal song) that has the same verses and chorus?

    Or, is it praises that each one that is chosen sings individually..something from each owns heart?

    If it is a literal song..have you ever talked with another as yourself and compared that song and had the same exact wording?

    Another thing I was wondering..not meaning to sound funny...but as far as the number 144,000 ..do you know what # you are? I'm not saying that one is more important then the other I was just curious as to how many have been already chosen.

    I thought good and hard about keeping the following info to myself. But I decided that there are those who really do merit receiving the insider information that some of us have been hording FOR YEARS! Yes, Mad Apostate was right, there is a Power Clique and we have known the words all along!

    So with apologies to Shel, here it is....

    The Song that Never Ends

    ( Originally a Peter, Paul and Mary song )

    This is the song that drives you insane.
    It will grow inside your brain.
    Somebody--started singing it a long long time ago,
    Now you'll be singing it forever, don't you know

    Chorus:
    This is the song that never ends,
    It just goes on and on my friends.
    Somebody--started singing it not knowing what it was,
    Now people keep on singing it forever just because

    *Noidea...I would say that the 'rank and file' would probably be assigned literal numbers.
    *But, on the other hand it might create some confusion.
    *I mean, what happens if an annointed person say...smokes a cigarette, defiles himself with a woman or eats blood sausage and falls out of favor with the Organization?
    *One could imagine that the numbers would get reassigned from time to time.
    *This alone would create the new position of Annointed Accountant.
    *Personaly, I would suggest that this person be proficient at using ACT, FilemakerPro, or maybe Access database.
    *For all I know...this position already exists *shrugs
