Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7306

7306. 'Go to Pharaoh in the morning' means being raised to stronger proofs. This is clear from the meaning of 'going to Pharaoh', or entering in to him, as communication, dealt with in 7000,a at this point the communication of proofs that it is the Divine who warns them to leave off their molestations; and from the meaning of 'the morning' as a state of enlightenment and revelation, dealt with in 3458, 3713, 5097, 5740, here being raised since the expression is used in reference to those steeped in falsities, who cannot receive enlightenment, yet can be raised to a higher level of awareness. The reason why those steeped in falsities cannot receive enlightenment is that falsities reject and blot out all light that brings enlightenment; only truths accept that light.
