The Spiritual Song - Exploring Prophetic Worship by Mike Herron

adopts this picture from Moses and incorporates it several times into his psalms of prayer and praise: ‘Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge…’ (Ps 61:2, 3) In the Song of the Law Moses prophesies of the failure, removal and return of the people of Israel from the land of promise. Moses sees the future appearance of Jesus the Messiah and announces; ‘Rejoice with him, you heavens, and let all of God’s angels worship him.’ (32:43) The New Testament writer to the Hebrews quotes this verse in Moses’ song to prove that Jesus is God. (Heb 1:6) Moses even sees far ahead into the age of grace where the Gentiles will rejoice with the Jews in the salvation of the Messiah: ‘R ejoice with his people, you nations…’ (32:43) Paul inserts this verse into his argument in Romans 15:10 that God had intended from the beginning of time to include people of faith from every nation in his plan of salvation. This prophetic song is still being fulfilled as the Jews return to the Rock of their salvation and the Gentile nations join in the song of rejoicing!  The song can come to the individual before the public gathering  Some songs should be written down and sung again  Prophetic songs are birthed in the personal life of the singer
