Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8299

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8299. 'In the mighty waters' means surrounded by a vast quantity of falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'waters' as falsities arising from evil, dealt with just above in 8297, so that 'the mighty waters' are falsities in a vast quantity. The fact that they were surrounded or hemmed in by them, see 8210, 8232.
