18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

Commentary

 

Samson

  

'Samson' represents the Lord when He fought against the hells and subdued them because of His natural self regarding truth. This was before He put on divine good and truth regarding His natural self. 'Samson' represents the only Nazarite, that is, the Lord and the power of His righteousness, who subjugated all diabolical spirits and conquered death.

Commentary

 

Face of the deep

  

The face of the deep (Genesis 1:2) signifies the lust of the unregenerate man, and the falsities that originate from it.
