Arcana Coelestia # 5123
5123. In yet three days. That this signifies that there would then be a new state, is evident from the signification of “three,” as being what is continuous even to the end, thus what is complete (n. 2788, 4495); and from the signification of “days,” as being states (of which above, n. 5122). From this it is plain that by “three days” is signified a complete state; consequently, “in three days,” or “after three days,” denotes a new state (n. 4091); for after a complete state a new one begins.
Mark 16:1-4

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2
Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3
They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
4
for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
