7611. 'And the rain was not poured on the earth' means that those falsities no longer made their appearance. This is clear from the meaning of 'the rain', at this point rain which took the form of hail, as falsities, dealt with in 7553, 7574; and from the meaning of 'not poured out on the earth' as the fact that they - the falsities meant by the rain in the form of hail - came to an end and so did not make their appearance.

4775. 'And he recognized it' means, yes, there was; 'and said, My son's tunic!' means that it was the truth possessed by the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'tunic' as the truth possessed by the Church, dealt with in 4677. But because this truth was defiled, it was indeed recognized to be that truth, though not like that of the Ancient Church and the Primitive Christian one. This is why the words of explanation here are 'yes, there was'.
