1052. Verse 16 And the bow will be in the cloud, and I see it, to remember the eternal covenant between God and every living soul in all flesh that is on the earth.

'And the bow will be in the cloud' means the state of that man. 'And I see it' means that he is such as can be regenerated. 'To remember the eternal covenant' means so that the Lord can be present with him within charity. 'Between God and every living soul in all flesh that is on the earth' means all people with whom this can take place. These verses have regard specifically to the person who is able to be regenerated.
