60. Verse 31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.

This verse says 'very good', whereas previous verses merely said 'good', for now the things of faith make one with those of love. A marriage has accordingly taken place between spiritual and celestial things.

754. Verse 11 In the six hundredth year of the years of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were split open, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.

'The six hundredth year, the second month, and the seventeenth day' means the second state of temptation. 'All the fountains of the great deep were split open' means the full extent of temptation involving things of the will. 'The floodgates of heaven were opened' means the full extent of temptation involving those of the understanding.
