You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.
'Man of war' signifies truth fighting falsity and destroying it. It also signifies truth derived from good, and destroying falsity.
(Izinkomba: Apocalypse Explained 329)
8494. '[A day of] rest' means a state of peace when there is no temptation. This is clear from the meaning of 'rest', such as belonged to sabbath days, as a representation of a state of peace in which the joining together of goodness and truth takes place. But the six days before this represented the conflict and labour, consequently the temptations, which come before a state of peace; for temptations are followed by a state of peace, in which goodness and truth are joined together. Regarding the fact that 'the six days' which come before the seventh or sabbath was a sign meaning conflict and labour, see 720, 737, 900; and regarding the fact that temptations are followed by serenity and peace, 3696, 4572, 5246, 6829, 8367, 8370 (end). As for 'the sabbath' and its meaning the joining together of goodness and truth, this will be seen in what follows immediately below.
