True, Zechariah had then to do with Angels, and that made him stay so long. O but Jesus is with God, before him, in his presence, talking with him, swallowed up in him, and with his Glory, and that's one Cause he stays so long. He is there also pleading his Blood for his tempted Ones; and interceding for all his Elect, and waits there till all his be fitted for, and ready to enter into Glory: I say, he is there, and there must be till then: And this is another reason why he doth stay the time we count so long.

And indeed 'tis a wonder to me, that Jesus Christ our Lord should once think, now he is there, of returning hither again, considering the ill treatment he met with here before. But what will not Love do! Surely he would never touch ⟨p. 210⟩the ground again, had he not a People here that cannot be made perfect, but by his coming to them. He also is made Judge of quick and dead, and will get him Glory in the ruin of them that hate him.
