In Genesis 19:37; 21:26; 30:32; 40:7; Matthew 6:30; Luke 12:28, this signifies the perpetuity and eternity of a state. (Arcana Coelestia 2838)

In Psalm 2:7, this signifies in time; for with Jehovah the future is present. (True Christian Religion 101)

The expression 'even to this day' or 'today' sometimes appears in the Word, as in Genesis 19:37-38, 22:14, 26:33, 32:32, 35:20, and 47:26. In a historical sense, these expressions have respect to the time when Moses lived, but in an internal sense, 'this day' and 'today' signify the perpetuity and eternity of a state. 'Day' denotes state, and likewise 'today,' which is the current time. Anything related to time in the world is eternal in heaven, and to represent this, 'today' or 'to this day' is added. Although, in the historical sense, this appears as if the expressions only have a literal meaning, just like it says in other parts of the Word, such as Joshua 4:9, 6:25, 7:20, Judges 1:21, 26, etc. 'Today' means something perpetual and eternal in Psalms 2:7, 119:89-91, Jeremiah 1:5, 10, 18, Deuteronomy 29:9-14, Numbers 28:3, 23, Daniel 8:13, 11:31, 12:11, Exodus 16:4, 19, 20, 23, John 6:31, 32, 49, 50, 58, Matthew 6:11, and Luke 11:3.

10732. 'You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling-places on the sabbath day' means that nothing of the love that is a person's own, that is, no self-love or love of the world, should appear at this time in any single thing in the person which comes from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'a fire' as love in both the senses dealt with in 6832, 7324, 7575, 9141, at this point the love that is a person's own, namely self-love and love of the world, the source of every evil desire, and of all evil and falsity; and from the meaning of 'the dwelling-places of the children of Israel' as the Church's forms of good and its truths which reside with a person and come from the Lord. For by 'dwelling-places' the things that reside interiorly in a person, thus those in his mind, are meant, see 7719, 7910, 8269, 8309, 10153, in this instance the forms of good and the truths which come from the Lord; and by 'the children of Israel' the Church is meant, 9340. Because things such as these were meant by 'a fire', they were forbidden to kindle a fire on the sabbath day. As regards what being led by self and selfish loves and not by the Lord implies, see immediately above in 10731.
