Arcana Coelestia #861
861. Verse 6 And it happened at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. 'It happened at the end of forty days means the duration of the former state, and the beginning of the one that followed. 'Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made' means a further state when the truths of faith appeared to him.
Ezekiel 25:15-16
15
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
16
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
