54. On the Lord's day. That this signifies, Divine influx at the time, is evident from the signification of the Lord's day, as being when the Lord instructs man, thus when He enters by influx. The Lord's day is the day of the sabbath, and the sabbath in the Ancient Churches, which were representative churches, was the most holy thing of worship, because it signified the union of the Divine and Human in the Lord, and hence also the conjunction of His Divine Human with heaven (as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 8494, 8495, 10356, 10360, 10370, 10374, 10668). But after the Lord united His Divine with His Human, then that holy representative ceased, and that day became a day of instruction (Arcana Coelestia 10360). For this reason revelation was made to John on the Lord's day; revelation, in this case, is instruction concerning the state of the church.
