As with common verbs in general, the meaning of “come” in the Bible is highly dependent on context – its meaning is determined largely by who is coming to whom and the circumstances of the action. In general, though, to come to someone - or to come to a place - represents the presence of one spiritual state with another, communication from one to the other and ultimately conjunction between them.
Arcana Coelestia #2750
2750. I have been informed by angels that when anyone commits adultery on earth heaven becomes closed to him instantly and then he lives immersed solely in worldly and bodily interests. When this has happened, although he hears about things of love and faith, these nevertheless do not enter into him interiorly; and what he says about them himself does not come from within him interiorly but merely from his memory and lips, with self-exaltation or the love of material gain actuating him. For his interiors are closed and these cannot be opened up except by earnest repentance.
