708. [verse 17] 'And the seventh angel poured out his phial into the air' signifies an influx from the Lord into all the things at once with the men of the Reformed Church. By 'the seventh angel pouring out his phial' is signified, here as by the previous times, an influx. By 'the air' is signified all things of perception and thought, thus of their faith; therefore also what in general all who are in faith separated from charity there are like. For by 'the air' is signified their breathing, and breathing corresponds to the understanding, thus to perception and thought, and also to faith, because faith is of thought in accordance with the understanding's perception. That this correspondence exists, and that in the spiritual world everyone breathes in accordance with his faith, has been fully shown in ANGELIC WISDOM CONCERNING DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM, in the Fifth Part.
