Here in chapter 15 we see Saints standing before the throne on a glassy sea singing the song of Moses and the and the song of the Lamb. Who are these saints?! We have talked about the strongman in chapter 12, the first fruits in chapter 14, and this looks like a different set of believers who died during the tribulation because they did not take the mark of the beasts. All of these Saints have something in common even if we do not agree on exactly who they are or how they got there. They all have overcome their situation on the earth. If anything we’ve learned by these challenging passages it is the principle of overcoming. This was the demand over all the churches in chapter 2-3. Overcome! In light of this principle we can not live nonchalantly regarding the Christian Life and His coming.. May we be overcomers in these last days.
