Those who learned from prefigurings and symbols

Since our creation and fall, we have had few ancestors who could speak to us of God. Some names have been remembered, but it is mainly a tale of the continual decline of mankind until Noah (Noe).

Through him, the sons of God were saved from the flood. Thus he is the father of our continued physical existence, after Adam our forefather and first man. It is Abraham, however, who is the father in spirit of all the people of God. His life is recorded in the Book of Genesis.
