Could be temporal, could be some other sort of sense (atemporal or whatever), whatever it may be. There is no specific sense attached to the term. If you want a better term than "arise", I can't think of one atm.
Could you explain why this is something I need to specify? What logical problems would arise from me not specifying?
Because you can't claim some premise to hold if you haven't even proper clarity what the words mean.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
