About this episode
We have just witnessed one of the most magnificent events in the history of redemption. It is a song that will echo down through the corridors of salvation history, even to the shores of the sea of glass in the book of Revelation. The victory is so total, the deliverance so profound, that the song cannot be contained by just one half of the covenant community. What we have in our text today is not an addendum, not a quaint afterthought. It is the necessary and glorious second movement in the symphony of redemption. The men have laid down the theme in robust, doctrinal declaration, and now the women rise to sing the fortissimo chorus. It is a picture of joyous, orderly, gender-affirming worship, the kind of worship that makes the principalities and powers tremble. Our culture is desperate to erase every meaningful distinction that God has woven into the fabric of creation, particularly the distinction between male and female.
