685. [verse 5] 'And I heard the angel of the waters saying' signifies the Divine Truth of the Word. By 'the angel of the waters' nothing else but the Divine Truth of the Word is signified, because 'waters' signify truths (n. 5o); and an 'angel' signifies what is Divine from the Lord (n. 415, 631, 633), and also the Word from Himself (n. 170).
