683. * [verse 4] 'And the third angel poured out his phial into the rivers and fountains of waters' signifies an influx into the understanding of the Word with them. By 'the third angel pouring out a phial', in like manner as by the ones before, is signified an influx from the Lord out of truths and goods, here into the understanding of the Word with them. By 'the rivers' are signified truths in abundance of service to the rational man, thus to the understanding, for doctrine and life (n. 409); and by a 'fountain of waters' is signified the Lord as to the Word, thus the Word of the Lord; and consequently by fountains of waters' are signified Divine truths therefrom (n. 384, 409). * There is no n. 682 in the Original Edition.
