Arcana Coelestia # 729
729. 'Raining' means temptation. This is clear from what has been stated and shown in the preliminary section of this chapter, 1 to the effect that the flood and deluge of waters, which is called 'raining' here, mean not only temptation but also vastation. This will also be evident from what is to be stated further on about the Flood.

Daniel 4:25
25
that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
