2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:2
Arcana Coelestia # 481
481. Verse 7 And Man lived a hundred and thirty years. And he beget in his own likeness, according to his own image, and called his name Seth.
'A hundred and thirty years' means the period of time prior to the rise of a new Church which, being little different from the Most Ancient Church, is said to have been 'born in his likeness, and according to his image.' 'Likeness' however has regard to faith and 'image' to love. This Church was called Seth.
