Arcana Coelestia # 619
619. Verse 11 And the earth 1 was corrupt before God, and the earth 1 was filled with violence.
'The earth' means that set of people dealt with already. It is called 'corrupt' on account of dreadful persuasions, and 'filled with violence' on account of filthy desires. The name 'God' is used from here onwards in this chapter because no Church existed now.
