Arcana Coelestia # 861
861. Verse 6 And it happened at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. 'It happened at the end of forty days means the duration of the former state, and the beginning of the one that followed. 'Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made' means a further state when the truths of faith appeared to him.
2 Corinthians 5:17
17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
