There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The Meaning of Noah and the Flood
Po OffTheLeftEye Staff
Is the Noah’s Ark story in the book of Genesis really about God destroying creation? A spiritual Bible interpretation of the story reveals its true meaning.
In this video, host Curtis Childs guides us through the revelations about the Old Testament parable that eighteenth-century philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg had during his spiritual experiences. Swedenborg’s perspectives transcend literal interpretations to provide a hopeful lesson about salvation. While it may seem like the Bible story is about God destroying creation, Swedenborg’s spiritual perspectives suggest that it symbolizes God’s still-ongoing efforts to save us from self-destruction.

Arcana Coelestia #919
919. Verse 20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took from every clean beast, and from every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
'Noah built an altar to Jehovah' means a representative of the Lord. 'He took from every clean beast, and from every clean bird' means goods that stem from charity, and [the truths of] faith. 'And offered burnt offerings on the altar' means all worship stemming from those goods and truths.
