Commentary

 

Evening and morning

  

In Genesis 1:5, evening stands in general for everything that is our own, while morning stands for everything of the Lord's. (Arcana Coelestia 22)

In Genesis 1:8, 13, 19, 23, 31, evening is every preliminary stage, because such stages are marked by shadow, or by falsity and an absence of faith. Morning is all later stages, because these are marked by light, or by truth and religious knowledge. (Arcana Coelestia 22)

In Zechariah 14:7, this signifies the last time of the church, when judgment takes place. (Apocalypse Explained 405[23])

In Mark 13:35, evening signifies a waning state of faith and charity, when man comes into the exercise of his own judgment and is losing in himself the things he imbibed in childhood. Midnight signifies a state of no faith and charity; cockcrowing, or daybreak, signifies when faith and charity are beginning and the person wants to be reformed by them; and morning signifies becoming spiritually awake in a state of regeneration. (Apocalypse Explained 187[2])
