2. There shall be an happy meeting in the air, in the morning of that day, between Christ and his thus adorned Spouse, where they shall ⟨p. 98⟩meet him, as in the quality of a great judge, so as their Friend, their Husband, their Saviour, coming to finish and complete their Salvation, and take them home to himself: they shall meet him who is the beloved of their Souls, whom they have longed for, whom they have often prayed to make hast, and whose appearance they have loved. And the state in which he shall come will add to their glorious manifestation; all that pompous attendance of Angels, those ten thousand times ten thousands, and thousands of thousands of ministering Spirits waiting upon Christs coming to fetch home his Spouse, shall reflect upon them to show how blessed they are: see 1 Pet. 4. 16, 17. and that glorious coming of Christ, Dan. 7. 9, 10.
