To dine is not merely to eat certain foods, but it is to enjoy the riches of a meal.

启示录三章二十节说，“看哪，我站在门外叩门；若有听见我声音就开门的，我要进到他那里，我与他，他与我要一同坐席。”这节里的坐席，原文指在晚上用一天的正餐。这里主应许要与那给祂开门的一同坐席。坐席不仅是吃一些食物，乃是享受丰盛的筵席。这样的坐席可指以色列人吃迦南美地丰富的出产。（书五10～12。）

启示录这些经文指明，主渴望恢复神子民吃正确的食物，就是神所命定，由生命树、吗哪、以及美地的出产所豫表的；这一切都是基督在不同方面作我们食物的豫表。约翰在他的著作里明确的强调，藉着以基督作筵席而丰富的享受祂。

Revelation 3:20 says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me." In this verse "dine" means to take the principal meal of the day at evening. Here the Lord promises to dine with the one who opens the door to Him. To dine is not merely to eat certain foods, but it is to enjoy the riches of a meal. This dining may refer to the eating of the rich produce of the good land of Canaan by the children of Israel (Josh. 5:10-12). 

These verses from the book of Revelation indicate that the Lord desires to recover the eating by God's people of the proper food as ordained by God and typified by the tree of life, the manna, and the produce of the good land, all of which are types of the various aspects of Christ as food to us. In his writings John definitely emphasizes the rich enjoyment of Christ by feasting on Him.
