Arcana Coelestia #10668
10668. 'And on the seventh day you shall rest' means the second state of regeneration, when a person is governed by good and at this stage experiences peace. This is clear from the meaning of 'the seventh day', which is called the day of rest or the sabbath, as the second state of regeneration, when a person is governed by good and at this stage experiences peace, when also he is in heaven with the Lord, dealt with in 8494, 8495, 8510, 8890, 8893, 9274, 9431, 10356, 10360, 10367, 10374.
Arcana Coelestia #8494
8494. '[A day of] rest' means a state of peace when there is no temptation. This is clear from the meaning of 'rest', such as belonged to sabbath days, as a representation of a state of peace in which the joining together of goodness and truth takes place. But the six days before this represented the conflict and labour, consequently the temptations, which come before a state of peace; for temptations are followed by a state of peace, in which goodness and truth are joined together. Regarding the fact that 'the six days' which come before the seventh or sabbath was a sign meaning conflict and labour, see 720, 737, 900; and regarding the fact that temptations are followed by serenity and peace, 3696, 4572, 5246, 6829, 8367, 8370 (end). As for 'the sabbath' and its meaning the joining together of goodness and truth, this will be seen in what follows immediately below.
