In Genesis 19:37; 21:26; 30:32; 40:7; Matthew 6:30; Luke 12:28, this signifies the perpetuity and eternity of a state. (Arcana Coelestia 2838)

In Psalm 2:7, this signifies in time; for with Jehovah the future is present. (True Christian Religion 101)

The expression 'even to this day' or 'today' sometimes appears in the Word, as in Genesis 19:37-38, 22:14, 26:33, 32:32, 35:20, and 47:26. In a historical sense, these expressions have respect to the time when Moses lived, but in an internal sense, 'this day' and 'today' signify the perpetuity and eternity of a state. 'Day' denotes state, and likewise 'today,' which is the current time. Anything related to time in the world is eternal in heaven, and to represent this, 'today' or 'to this day' is added. Although, in the historical sense, this appears as if the expressions only have a literal meaning, just like it says in other parts of the Word, such as Joshua 4:9, 6:25, 7:20, Judges 1:21, 26, etc. 'Today' means something perpetual and eternal in Psalms 2:7, 119:89-91, Jeremiah 1:5, 10, 18, Deuteronomy 29:9-14, Numbers 28:3, 23, Daniel 8:13, 11:31, 12:11, Exodus 16:4, 19, 20, 23, John 6:31, 32, 49, 50, 58, Matthew 6:11, and Luke 11:3.

147. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 24

1-2 The end of the church among the Jewish nation. (3)

3-5 Through the Word truths together with goods have been given them, also the Divine presence. (2)

6-8 They are filthy by reason of the adulteration and profanation of truth and good. (2)

9-12 The Lord has labored with all His might, that they might grow better, (2)

13 but it could not be done; (2)

14 therefore they will die in their profanities.3

15-17 Everything of the church will be taken away from them, and yet there will be no grief on that account. (3)

18-19 This will take place when the Lord comes into the world. (1, 3, 1)

20-23 Then He will destroy all the worship of that church, and there will be no grief on that account. (1, 13)

24-27 When the Lord comes, those who will be led to the new church will be instructed. (1, 11, 3)
