Leaving the Ark
Could Noah and his family leaving the Ark be a type of the Elect coming out of Babylon?

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:
The Bible appears to be showing us two salvation accounts regarding the ark in the day sof Noah: First, coming into the Ark (Christ) to avoid the flood, would picture God redeeming the elect from Babylon. Second, Noah and his family leaving the Ark would seem to point to the believers now leaving a dead church (antichrists) where God establishes a new covenant (Christ) with them.
