Now there are many Reasons why this second coming of Christ is called a Consummation of the Marriage; and Christ may then be said to come as a Bridegroom.

1. Because there is a Personal Meeting and interview between his Spouse and himself: Now he employeth Spokes-men; 2 Cor. 5.19, 20. Now we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: We pray you in Christs stead to be reconciled to God: As Eliezer Abraham's Servant went to get a match for his Masters Son, so the Ministers of the Gospel: 2 Cor. 11.2. I have espoused you to one Husband, that I may present you a chaste Virgin to Christ. He sends Tokens, and Spiritual Refreshings; John 14.21. He that hath my Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and manifest my self to him. Then he cometh himself, we meet him in Person: here we meet him in Ordinances, Isa. 64.5. Present in Spirit, 2 Cor. 5. At Death our Souls meet him: Eccles. 12.7. But then our whole man shall meet him, Job. 14.26. with these Arms embrace him: We are indeed brought near to him by Faith, and have some fellowship and Communion with him; but we do not see him as he is, nor see him face to face, as afterwards.
