Cooper(2008,2013)
[NCE]833. The first state{*1} after their trials; their vacillation between truth and falsity, which continues until truth begins to appear (verses 1-5).
Footnotes:
{*1} In 833-836 Swedenborg lists four states depicted in Genesis 8. This is the first of three interconnected numbering systems he uses for the states portrayed in this chapter. The second numbering system initially comes up in the next section, 834, and the third in 835-836. The first system, with its four elements, covers states that Swedenborg defines as those coming after times of trial. The second system, containing three elements, appears to cover the states of a person who is in the process of being reborn. The third system, containing two elements, appears to cover the states of a person who has achieved rebirth. For more about the states covered by the second numbering system, see 869-892, especially 880:1, 890, and note 1 in 871. When Swedenborg reaches the explanation of the verses involved in the third numbering system (Genesis 8:15-21, 903-929), he ceases to number the states at all. [LHC]
