Ralph Erskine (The Best Match or the Incomparable Marriage...), Sermons 1:125-126:

If you be Christ’s bride you will be longing sometimes for his second coming; less or more you will desire the day of judgment and long for his appearance. The epilogue of all the spouse’s sweet discourses is, “Make haste, my beloved, be thou like a roe, or a young hart, on the mountains of Bether, till the day break and the shadows fly away.” And the conclusion of the whole Bible is, “Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly,” Rev. 22:20. Can you say you have longed for his coming? I see the devil reigns here, corruption reigns here, and never will things be right till he come again in the clouds and set heaven and earth in a flame, when these nuptial solemnities shall begin to be celebrated, and the marriage solemnized while eternity lasts.
