When the Whole Stadium Finds One Voice
On July 13, 2024, sixty thousand fans packed Wembley Stadium for the final night of Adele's London residency. Midway through the concert, she stopped singing. The band went quiet. And then something extraordinary happened — the entire crowd, unprompted, began singing the chorus of Someone Like You back to her. Sixty thousand voices, strangers to one another, unified in a single melody so powerful that Adele stood at the microphone weeping.
Now multiply that by infinity.
In Revelation 5, John pulls back the curtain on a scene that dwarfs every concert, every coronation, every stadium moment in human history. Ten thousand times ten thousand angels — a number beyond counting — joined by every living creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth, all lifting one thunderous declaration: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"
This is not polite congregational singing. This is the universe vibrating with the truth it was made to proclaim. Every molecule of creation recognizing the One who holds it all together.
At Wembley, the crowd sang because a song moved them. In the throne room, every creature that has breath sings because the Lamb who was slain has made all things new — and no corner of creation can keep silent before Him.
