ark
"Ark": type of Christ as the refuge of His people from judgment (Hebrews 11:7). In strictness of application this speaks of the preservation through the "great tribulation" (Matthew 24:21); (Matthew 24:22) of the remnant of Israel who will turn to the Lord after the Church (typified by Enoch, who was translated to heaven before the judgment of the Flood) has been caught up to meet the Lord; (Genesis 5:22-24); (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17); (Hebrews 11:5); (Isaiah 2:10); (Isaiah 2:11); (Isaiah 26:20-21). But the type also has a present reference to the position of the believer "in Christ" (Ep 1.), etc. It should be noted that the word translated "pitch" in (Genesis 6:14) is the same word translated "atonement" in (Leviticus 17:11) etc. It is atonement that keeps out the waters of judgment and makes the believer's position "in Christ" safe and blessed.
