Messiahs: Noach

Noah was born 334 years after Enoch. He was Enoch's great-grandson. We are told in the first book of Enoch that the Archangel warned Enoch that the world would be destroyed in a flood. He therefore forewarned his great grandson of this event sometime before he was translated.

Noah was chosen to be the savior of the human race. He was a Tzaddik according to the Hebrew scriptures. Genesis 6:9. Now the Tzaddikkim are by their nature the conduits of the Light on Earth, but he was chosen specifically to be a public tzaddik and to do a specific mission. As a result, it was important that Noach have sons to carry on the human race. A Tzaddik by his nature has many sons and Noah had three: Ham, Shem and Japheth.

The Ark of Noah is symbolic of the salvation that he provided. He did not literally save everyone on Earth as there is no physical way that water can cover the earth to the depth of five miles which would be required to cover the earth as the Hebrew scriptures say. What happened was a tsunami so great that it covered all the inhabited lands around the fertile crescent. It took over forty days for the waters to recede, so great was this wave. The Ark had three decks: representative of the natures of the G-dhead. The first deck represented the Holy Spirit. The second deck represented the Archangel of the Presence, the True Son of G-d. The third and highest deck represented the True G-d, El. The Ark had an opening for the descent of Light in its top which is symbolic of Kether, the Crown, which represents the Archangel. It is through this hole that Light descends to Earth along the Tree of Life. The Ark had a door in its side for the admission of the animals. This door is symbolic of the Sefirah Chesed or Mercy for it was by the Mercy of G-d that mankind was saved. The Ark was covered with pitch which was symbolic of the grace of the mikveh which protects us from the stain of sin. Noah was the captain of the ship which is symbolic of the nature of the Tzaddikkim who are the captains of our salvation on earth.

Noah is the father of modern humans. After the flood, there were no more homo neanderthalis on earth, only cro-magnon man was left.

The Archangels, the sons of the Archangel of the Presence, that is, Michael, Raphael, Gavriel, Uriel, Hallel, Baalzebul, and Ashmodai, made a covenant with Noah after the flood. The scripture specifically says that the covenant was with the Elohim or G-ds who are the Archangels. The symbol of this covenant is said to be the Rainbow. The Rainbow is made up of seven primary color sections which Newton named as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. How could this Tzaddik make a covenant with the Angelic Council led by the Archangel of the Presence? The Angelic Council made this covenant with Noah as the incarnation of the Archangel, the second in number, thus they were really making the covenant with Enoch-Metatron-YHVH who was embodied in Noah. This covenant guarantees that the Angelic Council which brought the flood through their interaction with the earth would not use this method of destruction again.

The Zohar tells us that those born of the side of Metatron will have seven incarnations and Noah was the second incarnation of the Archangel on Earth, the one just after Enoch.

The whole issue of why the flood took place is set forth in Genesis 6 but is further expanded in the First Book of Enoch. The 200 rebel angels had taught technology to the children of man. With the rise of technology came the rise of cities. Urban life is despised by the earliest writers because it brought a decrease in the law of hospitality which was the essence of giving or good. The Angelic Council called this technological life depraved. How to strike a balance between technology and urban life and the ideals of loving our neighbor as ourselves is the problem of becoming holy. It is the constant battle of learning to help others without intruding in their lives that presents the most difficult challenges in urban life. Noah learned how to do that, but we must learn to do it now in a world far more depraved than the one in which Noah lived.
