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.
Arcana Coelestia # 2789
2789. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw. That this signifies thought and mental view from the Divine, is evident from the signification of the “eyes,” as being intelligence (see n. 2701); hence to “lift up the eyes” denotes to elevate the intelligence, thus to think; and from the signification of “seeing,” as being to view from the Divine, because it is predicated of the Lord.
