Ark
From Bahai9
Holy Mariner is a reference to Bahá'u'lláh, and the Ark is His Cause[edit]
"The Tablet of the Holy Mariner was revealed by Bahá'u'lláh in Baghdad. The Holy Mariner is a reference to Bahá'u'lláh Himself, and the Ark mentioned in that Tablet is the Ark of His Cause."
- (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, March 8, 1936, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1609)
Ark and the Flood symbolical[edit]
"The statement in 'Seven Days of Creation' certainly cannot be considered authoritative or correct. The Ark and the Flood we believe are symbolical."
- (From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, October 28, 1949: Baha'i News, No. 228, February 1950, p. 4; quoted in Lights of Guidance, no. 1716)
