Noah, Daniel & Job
Could Ezekiel 14:13-14 be speaking of the redemption of the Elect from Babylon at the revelation of Christ (unsealing of the Bible)?
NOAH, DANIEL AND JOB DELIVERING THEIR OWN SOULS: ELECT COMING OUT OF TRIBULATION?
Ez 14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
Ez 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
Ez 14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Ez 14:16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
Ez 14:17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Ez 14:18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION
Noah, Daniel and Job delivering their own souls by their righteousness (Christ) at a time when the sword is in the land, seems to be pointing to the elect who deliver their souls from famine and death as they come out of tribulation. All three men typify Christ and/or the elect. The idea that historically they were not a part of the nation of Israel seems to point to the fact that prior to their redemption, they too were a part of the unsaved body.
