7435. 'Rise up in the morning early' means being raised to an even greater sign of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up in the morning' as being raised; for 'rising up' means being raised, see 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103, and so too does 'morning' mean being raised, 7306. Strictly speaking 'rising up in the morning' means a state of enlightenment, 3458, 3723. But since no enlightenment, which the Divine provides by an inflow of goodness and truth, is possible with the evil who are represented by Pharaoh and the Egyptians, only being raised to a state of awareness, 'rising up in the morning early' here therefore means the latter kind of raising. The fact that it is a raising to be made aware of an even greater sign of power is evident from what follows in which yet another new sign is referred to.

7306. 'Go to Pharaoh in the morning' means being raised to stronger proofs. This is clear from the meaning of 'going to Pharaoh', or entering in to him, as communication, dealt with in 7000, 1 at this point the communication of proofs that it is the Divine who warns them to leave off their molestations; and from the meaning of 'the morning' as a state of enlightenment and revelation, dealt with in 3458, 3713, 5097, 5740, here being raised since the expression is used in reference to those steeped in falsities, who cannot receive enlightenment, yet can be raised to a higher level of awareness. The reason why those steeped in falsities cannot receive enlightenment is that falsities reject and blot out all light that brings enlightenment; only truths accept that light.
