4312. In the internal historical sense 'the sun rose on him' means when they entered into representations. This is clear from the meaning - in this sense, in which the subject is the descendants of Jacob - of 'the rising of the sun' as when they entered into representations. 'The coming up of the dawn' meant the state before they entered into representations, 4289. The sun is also said to rise with anyone who is becoming the Church, and so is said to do so with anyone who is becoming a representative of the Church.
