Patristic A.D. 553
“He said, "I heard one of the four animals say, 'Come and see.' " This one animal is the whole church preaching with a great voice and inviting the church to greater faith, "Come and see!" "If anyone thirsts, let him come and drink." "Approach him and you will be illuminated." "Arise, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will illuminate you."”
