Yahweh's Joy in the Redeemed

On that day, when the Lord re-establishes order in his world, an unnamed messenger will charge the new Jerusalem to neither feel afraid, fear not, nor act fearfully. Motivating the charge to wait for Yahweh's saving work are promises that the new Jerusalem will no no shame and will be saved completely. At the center of this glorious salvation is pleasure. The remnants joy in God and God's delight in those He saved. Because of the certainty of our coming deliverance, the redeemed should already be singing praise.
