| Summary: | The doxological 'song of Moses ... and the song of the Lamb' (Rv 15:3-4) plays a major role in formulating the theological message of the Apocalypse of John. In an intertextual appropriation of Ex 15 and Dt 32, concerning the song of Moses, is made it contributes to understanding the relationship of messianic war and eschatological exodus traditions in Revelation. Investigation into the background of the song of the Lamb takes the researcher to the Old Testament LXX). Tobit, 1 Maccabees and the Tosefta Targum on 1 Samuel 17 where David is called a lamb and Goliath the lion and bear. The Messiah as anointed descendant of David, pictured as Lamb, according to Revelation, conquered the beast, symbolically representing Goliath. Even the length (6 cubits) and number of toes (6) of Goliath may contribute to more interesting conclusions. |
