Noah

A post on the Flood tells us a lot about Noah, and there's much more to come:

Noah was 10th in the line of Adam:


"And these the names of the Twenty-seven Heavens & their Churches Adam, Seth, Enos, 
Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech: these are Giants mighty 
Hermaphroditic

The first in the 'New Age:


Noah, Shem, Arphaxad, Cainan the second, Salah, Heber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, 
Terah, these are the Female-Males A Male within a Female hid as in an Ark & Curtains,

Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Paul, Constantine, Charlemaine Luther, these seven are the 
Male-Females, the Dragon Forms Religion hid in War, a Dragon red & hidden Harlot"

Noah's Age inaugurated a level of material existence. After the Flood they existed in matter, 
in the Sea of Time and Space.

One might say that Noah as "the man of Imagination survived the the flood of time and space 
by building an ark of love for himself and his family.

For Blake the ark symbolized love; he depicted it as a crescent moon in two different  Plates of Jerusalem:

Tharmas the last named of the Four Zoas was also 'the parent power.' He emerged from the 
water like the first living land creatures which appeared in the evolutionary process. He is not 
as active and articulate as the other three Zoas. His role is that of a motivating force, always 
seeking and searching and impelling others to speak and act. The object of his search is his 
emanation Enion whose     reunion with Tharmas is a feature at the feast of the Eternals at 
the culmination of the Four Zoas.
