Psalm 149:5-9

So we, the saints, become joyful in glory. We cannot even imagine what that is or what that means. It is far beyond our imagination. As God's government takes hold, there will be an increase in what is holy, cleansed, purified, and without blemish, all because of God's presence. And everything in His Kingdom will become holy because everything will be dedicated to His holy purpose.
