7446. 'And tomorrow will this sign be' means the manifestation of Divine power thereby for evermore. This is clear from the meaning of 'tomorrow' as for evermore, dealt with in 3998; and from the meaning of 'a sign' as a corroboration of the truth, and consequent knowledge of it, dealt with in 6870, and therefore the manifestation of Divine power. For in former times truth, and at the same time Divine power were made manifest by means of signs.
