make a joyful noise

Psalm 87:7, "As they make music they will sing, 'All my fountains are in you.'"

One day, one glorious day...all of God's redeemed will be together and sing with joy.  The psalmist talks about Zion where God set His earthly temple, and where He met and fellowshipped with the Israelites through their priests in ancient times.  When Jesus returns He will again reside in His temple in the new Jerusalem He sets up as His earthly kingdom.  

Earlier in the psalm, the psalmist talks about all the nations that will be there (Rahab/Egypt, Babylon,Philistia, Tyre and Cush).  That is the part I cannot wait to see. We will stand side by side with people we love, people we don't even know and even those who were not our friends but will then be our brothers and sisters.  Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God will say of us all, Hispanic, White, African American, Asian, Middle Easterner..., "'This one was born in Zion.'" (v. 4) And there we will sing with joy!
