N Revelation 22:17 & 20, we find that in concluding the
Holy Scriptures, God let us peek momentarily into the heart of His Son, and
therefore into His heart as well. The
invitation for men to come to God (found in verse 17) is a reflection of the promise from Jesus in verse 20 that He will come to us. Yet, while there is a bit of a distinction
between the "come" of regeneration and the "come" of the
two Advent of Christ, the point is in one way the very same: that we might be together. That is, God wants to bring us to Himself (Hebrews 2:10). He wants us to come willingly to Him.
And, certainly, He will someday come willingly to us. As His elect
children, we discover to our pleasant surprise that our desire for Him is actually
a reflection of His desire for us.
In this chapter, we find that Solomon and his beloved wife
were not together for a season... but they were thinking about each other. They both made demonstrative statements that
indicated that they were not happy about being apart. They were in love. They wanted to be together. He wanted to
rush back to her with all possible speed.
And, if you consider the words of those who were looking on at this
situation, they recognized that the only good situation for these two was for
them to be together.
