86. When the spiritual man, already made 'the sixth day', starts to become celestial, which is the subject here at the beginning, it is 'the evening of the Sabbath'. This was represented in the Jewish Church by the holiness of the Sabbath extending from evening onwards. The celestial man, dealt with in what follows next, is the morning.
