1067. Verse 20 And Noah began to be a man (vir) of the ground, and planted a vineyard.
'Noah began to be a man of the ground' means in general a person who has been instructed from matters of doctrine concerning faith. 'And he planted a vineyard' means the Church resulting from this, 'vineyard' being the spiritual Church.
Isaiah 24:18-21

It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19
The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.

It shall happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
