In Genesis 40:10, this signifies the beginning of regeneration. (Arcana Coelestia 5115)

In Psalm 132:17, this signifies the germinating of truth from good. (Arcana Coelestia 1018[2]) and also the multiplication of divine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 316[9])

In Isaiah 55:10, this signifies to vivify the church so that it may bring forth the truth of doctrine and the good of charity. (Apocalypse Explained 644[13])

6667. 'With rigour' means without showing any mercy. This becomes clear without explanation, for those spoken of immediately above in 6666 have no mercy because they have no love of the neighbour, only self-love. Love of the neighbour which seems to be present among them is nothing else than self-love. For as long as another is favourably disposed towards them, that is, is on their side, they love him; but as long as he is not favourably disposed towards them or not on their side they reject him, and if previously their friend they hate him. Attitudes such as this lie concealed in self-love, though they do not reveal themselves in the world, only in the next life, where they burst out into the open. The reason why they burst out there is that there outward appearances are taken away; and when they are taken away, one sees what a person has been like inwardly.
