       Psalm 79 talked about this, when the psalmist said, “How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name! For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation” (5-7, ESV). God is about to give the Jewish people what he promised he would give them, and what is rightfully theirs. John also points out that standing beside the glass sea are saints of God, those who had been victorious over the Antichrist and the image that forced people to worship the Antichrist. These people had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They had been martyred for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John notes that these individuals have harps of God in their hands. In the Old Testament, harps were used to praise God. One example of this is found in Psalm 71, when the writer says, “I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God” (22, ESV).
