The Saints meeting with Christ their Head, 1to meet the Lord in the Air.
- 1The Saints meeting with Christ Jesus.
In this Meeting there be three things considerable.
1. The Persons meeting. 2. The Place where they meet. 3. The ends of their meeting.
1. The Persons meeting, Christ and his Saints. He Descends to meet them, and they Ascend to meet him. Such is the Love and Condescension of the Lord Jesus to his Saints, that he cometh out of his Royal Pavilion more than half way to meet them; and then sends his Chariots and Horse-men, ⟨p. 121⟩a Guard of Angels to carry them up in the Clouds, and to conduct them unto the place, where he stayeth for them. There shall they be brought into his Royal presence, and like a Royal Spouse, who hath been long separated from her Bridegroom by distance of place, they shall fall down before Him, and with Tears of joy shall wash his feet, and wipe them dry with the Kisses of their Lips: while, at the same time, Christ will take his Bride up into his Arms, and (with the Father of the Prodigal) fall upon her neck, and kiss her; and, with all the unconceivable expressions of Love and Joy, receive her to Himself, and bid her welcome into his presence. Oh! what Soul can conceive what mutual Joy and Triumph there will be between Jesus Christ and his Saints in this blessed Interview?
