Rev 15:3-4

The first song of deliverance in Scripture is sung at the Red Sea: "Who is like unto thee, O Yahuah... glorious in holiness" (Exod 15:11). Moses' second song, Deuteronomy 32, is given as a witness against Israel (Deut 31:19-21) and closes with Yahuah avenging the blood of His servants (Deut 32:43). The Psalms and Jeremiah carry the refrain that all nations shall come and worship (Ps 86:9; Jer 10:7). In Revelation 15:3-4 it is one song with two names, the same covenant deliverance from bondage, entered into evidence before the sentence. The common teaching that sets Moses against the Lamb, Law against favor, cannot stand when the redeemed sing both names in one song.
