Romans 11:26

When Moses sang at the Red Sea, it was his joy to know that all Israel were safe. Not a drop of spray fell from that solid wall until the last of God’s Israel had safely planted his foot on the other side of the flood. Once that was done, the waters immediately returned to their place, but not until then. Part of that song was, “You in your mercy have led forth the people whom you have redeemed.” In the last days, when the elect will sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and of the Lamb, it will be the boast of Jesus, “Of all whom you have given me, I have lost none.” In heaven there will not be a vacant throne.

“For all the chosen race
Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
And make his glories known.”

As many as God has chosen, as many as Christ has redeemed, as many as the Spirit has called, as many as believe in Jesus, will safely cross the dividing sea. We are not all safely landed yet:

“Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.”

The vanguard of the army has already reached the shore. We are marching through the depths; we are today closely following our Leader into the heart of the sea. Let us be encouraged: the rearguard will soon be where the vanguard already is. The last of the chosen ones will soon have crossed the sea, and then the song of triumph will be heard, when all are secure. But oh! if one were absent—oh! if one of His chosen family should be cast away—it would create an everlasting discord in the song of the redeemed and sever the strings of the harps of paradise, so that music could never be extracted from them.
