787. That by the “flood” are signified falsities which still inundated the church, also follows from what was shown above; for a “flood” or “inundation” is nothing else than an inundation of falsities. Before (at verse 6), the “flood of waters” signified temptation, as was there shown; which also is an inundation of falsities that evil spirits then excite in man. The case is the same here, but without temptation, and therefore it is said here simply the “flood” not the “flood of waters.”
