856. Verse 5. And the waters were going and failing until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared. “And the waters were going and failing” signifies that falsities began to disappear; “in the tenth month” signifies the truths which are of remains; “on the first day of the month the tops of the mountains appeared” signifies the truths of faith, which then began to be seen.
