Is sometimes put figuratively in Scripture, to imply the thirst and desire of the soul after Christ. Hence, we find the Lord Jesus saying "If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink." (John 7:37) And again, "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him." (John 6:56) In like manner, at the close of Scripture, the coming of Christ is described under the similitude of drink. (Revelation 22:17)
