8494. A rest. That this signifies a state of peace when there is no temptation, is evident from the signification of “a rest,” such as there was on the days of the Sabbath, as being a representative of a state of peace, in which is effected the conjunction of good and truth. But the six preceding days represented the combat and labor, consequently the temptations, which precede a state of peace; for after temptations comes a state of peace, and then there is the conjunction of good and truth. (That the six days which precede the seventh or the Sabbath signified combat and labor, see n. 720, 737, 900; and that after temptations there are tranquility and peace, n. 3696, 4572, 5246, 6829, 8367, 8370.) That the Sabbath denotes the conjunction of good and truth, will be seen in what now follows.

3998. On the morrow. That this signifies to eternity, is evident from the signification of the “morrow.” When “yesterday,” “today,” or “tomorrow” is mentioned in the Word, eternity is signified in the supreme sense; “yesterday” signifying from eternity; “today,” eternity; and “tomorrow,” to eternity. (That “today” signifies eternity, see above, n. 2838.) For the times mentioned in the Word signify states; as “ages,” “years,” “months,” “weeks,” “days,” and “hours,” as has often been shown. With the Lord however there are no states; but everything is eternal and infinite. This shows that by “tomorrow” is signified to eternity.
