That this signifies a degree of elevation, appears from the signification of “rising up,” as involving elevation (see n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927); and from the signification of “morning,” as being the Lord, also His kingdom, and likewise a state of peace thence derived (see n. 2405, 2780). The natural is said to be “elevated” when spiritual things are appropriated to it; for all elevation is from things spiritual and celestial, as by these man is elevated toward heaven, thus nearer to the Lord.
