This beast, therefore, is connected with the leopard beast, and hence belongs to the same line of prophecy.

No conclusion is reached in chapter 13, and hence the prophecy is not there completed.

Going forward into chapter 14, we find a company brought to view who are redeemed from among men (which can mean nothing else than translation from among the living at the second coming of Christ); and they sing a song before the throne which none but themselves can learn.

In chapter 15, we have a company presented before us who have gotten the victory over the beast, his image, the mark, and the number of his name--the very things brought to view in the concluding portion of Rev.13.

This company also sing a song, even the song of Moses and the Lamb; and they sing it while standing upon the sea of glass, as stated in verse 2.
Turning to chapter 4:6, we learn that this sea of glass is "before the throne." The conclusion, therefore, follows that those who sing before the throne, in chapter 14, are identical with those who sing on the sea of glass (before the throne), in chapter 15, inasmuch as they stand in the same place, and the song they both sing is the first glad song of actual redemption.
