Jehovah Witnesss cant sing the song of the lamb because they dont have salvation J ohn introduced Jesus as the LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sins of the world. Israel was given a lamb at Passover to be slain to cover their sins it pointed to God as their deliverer.All the sacrifices point to a lamb to be the sin bearer.J.W's say he does this only for the 144,000. The 144 ,000 follow the lamb which certainly can't be those of the J.W.'sRev 5:8-14 we see a progression of worship in heaven first from the 4 living creatures next the 24 elders in vs.12 it is the angels saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!" and then in vs.13 every creature which is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and under the sea , and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!" Both are given praise and honor equally. In Rev.7:9-12 there is the great multitude from all nations standing before the throne in front of the lamb vs.11 says they fall on their faces to worship God yet we see it is the lamb who sits on the throne. 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" Notice they are both attributed to being the givers of salvation. If the lamb is not God then they are practicing idolatry. Rev.11:15 worship breaks out again in heaven and they say "We give thanks , o lord God almighty the one who is and who was and who is to come. Who is this? The same one in the 4 living creature say in Rev.4:8 Holy holy holy, Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come." he is the same one in Rev.1:8 the alpha and omega ... "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Rev 1:4 "Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come," It is this same Jesus who was and is to come that is the one who was dead and then alive again. Rev.1:17-18 tells us John fell dead at the feet of Jesus who then told him "Do not be afraid, I am the first and the last "I am he who lives, and was dead, and behold I am alive forever more. Amen" Rev 2:8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again." "Had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory."1 Cor.2:8 Acts 10:36 "The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ-- He is Lord of all." Notice this word is from God himself Rev 17:14 "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." Will the Jehovah's Witnesses who will be there for Armageddon be the ones to make war with him, since they havent made peace with him now. Rev 19:16 "And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." Christ is the LORD those who do not recognize this fact are at war with him now and may one day fight him when he comes back because they dont recognize who he is . This can all change by their recognizing That Christ is indeed the LORD.
