The City
In the Song of Songs the girl goes to the city in order to look for her lover (3:1-4, 5:2-7). The city is a place of darkness (3:1) and danger (5:7).
In Revelation the bride has grown up - she is now the city. This city is a place where safety abounds because God is there (21:3-4) She is a place where 'night will be no more...the Lord God will be their light' (22:5). She is a place where the husband will stay forever - there will be no need for his bride to go and search for him.
