7140. 'As yesterday, so today' means the state to come, from then on. This is clear from the meaning of 'yesterday' as the previous state, dealt with immediately above; and from the meaning of 'today' as that which is perpetual, dealt with in 2838, 3998, 4304, 6165, therefore that which is to continue for ever, and so what will be as before.
