Arcana Coelestia #62
62. The stages and states of the regeneration of man - both of mankind and of the individual person - divide into six and are called the days of his creation. Gradually from being no man at all, he first becomes something, though only little, then something more, until the sixth day is reached, when he becomes 'an image'.
Ezekiel 46:8-10
8
When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.
9
But when the people of the land shall come before Yahweh in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.
10
The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.
