Harpa Cristã 547 - o Rei Está Voltando

The song "Harpa Cristã 547 - o Rei Está Voltando" performed by Lucelia Chavito is a Christian hymn that speaks to the anticipation of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, a fundamental belief in Christian eschatology. The lyrics describe the moment when the faithful are taken up to heaven, marking the end of their earthly journey and the fulfillment of their spiritual mission. The song uses the metaphor of harvest to symbolize the completion of the believers' work on Earth, with the 'good reapers' having finished their labor, indicating that the time for judgment and reward has come.

The repeated chorus, 'O rei está voltando' ('The King is returning'), emphasizes the joy and triumph associated with Jesus' return. The sounding of the trumpet is a biblical reference to the rapture, where the saints are 'trasladar' or translated to heaven. This event is depicted as a grand and celebratory occasion, with the redeemed ascending and heaven opening its gates to welcome them. The song conveys a sense of urgency and excitement, as the news that 'Jesus Cristo já voltou' ('Jesus Christ has already returned') spreads, signaling the end of the church's mission on Earth.

The final verse of the song paints a picture of the heavenly celebration, likening it to the sound of many waters, a biblical image often associated with the voice of God or the presence of the divine. The 'Aleluias ao cordeiro' ('Hallelujahs to the Lamb') reflect the worship and praise directed towards Jesus, referred to as the Lamb in Christian theology, symbolizing his sacrifice and victory over sin. The song concludes with the believers' joyful journey towards their eternal home, reinforcing the hope and expectation of eternal life with God.
