10. The fourth state is when he is moved by love and enlightened by faith. Previous to this he did indeed utter pious words and bring forth good deeds, but he did so from a state of temptation and anguish, and not from faith and charity. Therefore the latter are now kindled in his internal man, and are called the two great lights.

'The third day' as in Genesis 22:4, signifies something complete and a beginning of sanctification. 'Day,' in the Word, signifies a state, as do all references to time. When 'third' is added, it signifies the end of that state and the beginning of the following state. In the internal sense of the Word, 'three days' and 'the third day' signify the same thing. The Lord rose again on the third day, which is also why the Lord distinguished the stages of his life into three in Luke 8:32. The Lord also endured the last temptation on the cross, on 'the third hour of the day' in Mark 15:25. In Exodus 19:16, 'the third day' signifies the end of a state of preparation for reception, and so an end of purification. In Hosea 6:2, 8, 'the third day' has the same meaning as 'the seventh day,' which is a state of peace.
