3056. 'At evening time' means a more obscure state at that time. This is clear from the meaning of 'time' as state, dealt with in 2625, 2788, 2837, and from the meaning of 'evening' as obscurity. For in the Word evening means the state which precedes the final period of a declining Church, the period called night, or else it means the initial state of a rising Church, the state called morning, see 2323. In both cases evening means that which is obscure, but here it is the obscurity which precedes the morning.

In Genesis 4:22 and 12:13, this signifies intellectual truth. (Arcana Coelestia 1475)

In Genesis 24:30 and 24:59, this signifies the affection of truth. (Arcana Coelestia 3133, 3182)

In Genesis 24:60, this signifies a desire for truth. (Arcana Coelestia 3186)

In Genesis 30:8, this signifies temptation resulting in victory. (Arcana Coelestia 3927)

In Exodus 2:4, this signifies rational truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6727)

The Lord calls people who are in truth from the good of charity from Him 'sisters' in Matthew 12:50. 'Sister' denotes intellectual truth and 'wife' celestial truth.
