Morning comes with the rising of the sun, and the sun -- which gives life to the earth with its warmth and light -- represents the Lord in His divinity, bringing spiritual life through love and wisdom. Thus, the morning represents the coming of the Lord into our lives, and all the things that flow from it: the love, joy and enlightenment He brings; the peace and tranquility of passing the spiritual obscurity of night; the anticipation of the learning and usefulness of a new day; and the awareness of The Lord's renewed presence.

3458. 'And in the morning they rose up early' means a state of enlightenment. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' and 'rising up early' as a state of enlightenment. For by 'the morning' and 'the dawn' in the highest sense is meant the Lord, and in the internal sense the celestial element of His love, and also from this the state of peace, see 2333, 2405, 2540, 2780. And 'rising up' means in the internal sense a raising up, 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. From these meanings it is evident that 'in the morning he rose up early' means a state of enlightenment.
