Like most numbers in the Bible, "six" can have various meanings depending on context, but has a couple that are primary. When used in relation to time -- six days, six hours, six years, etc. -- six generally represents a state of labor, struggle and conflict, especially the conflict involved with spiritual growth. The six days of creation, for instance, represent the stages we go through in our lives, working toward the peaceful seventh day, in which our evil desires are removed from us and we can rest. In most other references, six represents all desires for good and all the true ideas that come from those desires for good -- or in the contrary sense, all evil and all the resulting false thinking.

899. Verse 14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

'The second month' means the whole of the state prior to regeneration. 'The twenty-seventh day' means that which is holy. 'The earth was dry' means that he was regenerated. These words form the conclusion to what has gone before and the starting point to what follows.
