1335. Two years after the flood. That this signifies the Second post-diluvian church, may be seen from the fact that by a “year,” in the Word, as also by a “day” and by a “week,” is signified an entire period, greater or less, of fewer or of more years; in fact a period in the abstract, as may be seen from the paragraphs referred to above n. 488, 493). So here with the “two years after the flood,” by which is signified the second period of the church, which was when this second church began.
