839. Verse 1 And God remembered Noah, and every wild animal, and every beast that was with him in the ark. And God made a wind pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

'God remembered' means the end of temptation and the start of renewal. 'Noah', as previously, means the member of the Ancient Church. 'Every wild animal and every beast that was with him in the ark' means all things that resided with him. And God made a wind pass over the earth, and the waters subsided' means the arrangement of all things into their proper order.
