Arcana Coelestia #1067
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.
Colossians 1:15-17
15
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16
For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
17
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
