Come \Come\, v. i. [imp. {Came}; p. p. {Come}; p. pr & vb. n.
{Coming}.] [OE. cumen, comen, AS. cuman; akin to OS. kuman,
D. komen, OHG. queman, G. kommen, Icel. koma, Sw. komma, Dan.
komme, Goth. giman, L. venire (gvenire), Gr. ? to go, Skr.
gam. [root]23. Cf. {Base}, n., {Convene}, {Adventure}.]

or some place or person indicated; -- opposed to go.

3. To approach or arrive, as if by a journey or from a
distance. ``Thy kingdom come.'' --Matt. vi. 10.

Note: Am come, is come, etc., are frequently used instead of
have come, has come, etc., esp. in poetry. The verb to
be gives a clearer adjectival significance to the
participle as expressing a state or condition of the
subject, while the auxiliary have expresses simply the
completion of the action signified by the verb.
Think not that I am come to destroy. --Matt. v.
17.

The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the
year. --Bryant.
Note: Come may properly be used (instead of go) in speaking
of a movement hence, or away, when there is reference
to an approach to the person addressed; as, I shall
come home next week; he will come to your house to-day.
It is used with other verbs almost as an auxiliary,
indicative of approach to the action or state expressed
by the verb; as, how came you to do it? Come is used
colloquially, with reference to a definite future time
approaching, without an auxiliary; as, it will be two
years, come next Christmas; i. e., when Christmas shall
come.
They were cried In meeting, come next Sunday.
--Lowell.
Come, in the imperative, is used to excite attention,
or to invite to motion or joint action; come, let us
go. ``This is the heir; come, let us kill him.''
--Matt. xxi. 38. When repeated, it sometimes expresses
haste, or impatience, and sometimes rebuke. ``Come,
come, no time for lamentation now.'' --Milton.
