The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

The Wonderful Invitation
And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely. - Revelation 22:17  
In these words there are echoes of precious older words, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come, let him buy . . . yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price (Isaiah 55:1)". And again, " If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink (John 7:37)". On both of these more ancient savings, the saying of the evangelical prophet and the saying of our Lord Himself, these great words seem to be founded.
What is it to come? Christ said, standing in the Temple courts, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink." Christ is now absent, but still His bodily presence did not make coming to Him any the easier when He was here. Many of those that touched His garments, and clasped His hands, and looked into His eyes were an infinite distance from Him.
What is it to come? Listen to His own explanation: "He that Cometh unto Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth in Me shall never thirst." Then "coming" and "taking" and " drinking" are all but various forms of representing the one act of believing in Him. We come to Him when we trust Him. We are separated from Him by all the distance between earth and heaven, corporeally. He is near every one of us in spirit, and He is ready to come so much nearer that He will dwell in our hearts and break down all the barriers between us, if we will only draw near to Him. My friend, let no vague metaphor blind you to the simple requirement which is here. To "come to Christ" is nothing more than to trust Him. Lean your weight upon Him, and your soul leaps over the gulfs in which stars and systems move, and touches the Son of man at the right hand of God. Faith has a long arm; it can grasp "the High Priest that has passed through the heavens," and is exalted far above them all. To come to Christ is only as a sinful man laden with infirmities and stooping beneath many a burden of sin and sorrow and sore weakness; to lean my sinful self upon Him, and so to be joined to the Lord. To come to Christ is faith.
Who is it that are asked to come? " He that thirsteth" and "he that willeth." The one phrase expresses the universal condition, the other only the limitation necessary in the very nature of things. " He that thirsteth." Who does not? The desires of every soul are deep and ravenous and fierce. Your heart is parched for love; your mind, whether you know it or not, is restless and athirst for truth that you can cleave to in all circumstances. Your will longs for a loving authority that shall subdue and tame it. Your conscience is calling out for cleansing, for pacifying, for purity. Your whole being is one great want and emptiness. " My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God"; it is only He that can slake the thirst, that can satisfy the hunger. You have tried other things, plenty of them; and has not your experience been that all other sources of satisfaction or delight have done for you what the sea-water docs to the half-mad shipwrecked sailor that will drink it? They make men thirstier and drive them madder. Every man may come; for we are all perishing by the side of muddy and waterless springs, from which we have madly sought to slake an immortal thirst.

And let the one who is thirsty come. Revelation 22:17, 18.
And let the one who is thirsty come. Revelation 22:17, 18.
In August of 2022, I published a commentary on Revelation 22:16. Here I use the Good News Bible, as it conveys that Jesus wanted John to share this information to the church bodies that existed and to future Christ followers; that includes you and me. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to announce these things to you in the churches. I am descended from the family of David; I am the bright morning…

Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

Isaiah 24: "Millennium"
The last three verses of Isaiah's far-future prophecy carry several compelling similarities to the last three chapters of John's Revelation. #Isaiah24 #Millennium #Endtimes
Inference to the Flood Isaiah continued with his description of this coming time of judgment Terror, the pit, and the snare    are upon you, O inhabitants of the earth!Whoever flees at the sound of the terror    shall fall into the pit,and whoever climbs out of the pit    shall be caught in the snare.For the windows of heaven are opened,    and the foundations of the earth tremble. Isaiah…

A Golden Treasury for the Children of God
Tumblr media
by Carl Heinrich von Bogatzky
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. - Revelation 16:15
Behold I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life (which is Christ himself,) and may enter in through the gates into the city. Surely, I come quickly. Amen! Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen. - Revelation 22:14 and 20-21
As sin, always besets us, so Christ himself and his blood, must always be our robes, else there is no peace. The heart must firmly be centered in Christ, and the centre to be fixed upon in the whole progress of inward Christianity. This is that we have forgiveness in the blood of Christ; for if this is revealed in the soul by God, himself, heaven and paradise seem to open to her.
He is a God of sovereign love, That promised heaven to me, And taught my thoughts to soar above Where happy spirits be.
Prepare me, Lord, for thy right hand, Then come the joyful day; Come death and some celestial band, To bear my soul away.
Haste, my beloved, fetch my soul Up to thy blest abode; Fly, for my spirit longs to see, My Saviour, and my God.
