480. It is clear from Genesis 1:26-27 as well, that 'they were called Man on the day in which they were created', that is to say, at the end of the sixth day, which answers to the evening of the Sabbath, or start of the Sabbath or seventh day. For as shown already, the seventh day or Sabbath is the celestial man.

Learn

  

'To learn,' as in Revelation 14:3, signifies an interior perception in one's self that 'it is so,' which denotes understanding. Anyone who learns anything otherwise, learns and does not learn because he does not retain what he learns.
