7611. 'And the rain was not poured on the earth' means that those falsities no longer made their appearance. This is clear from the meaning of 'the rain', at this point rain which took the form of hail, as falsities, dealt with in 7553, 7574; and from the meaning of 'not poured out on the earth' as the fact that they - the falsities meant by the rain in the form of hail - came to an end and so did not make their appearance.
