I do know He tells me He is a BIG God and I'm safe when I enter in to His protective "Ark" and that the flood waters of life will not come against me when I step into His "Ark". One of the problems with the written word and emotion - makes it hard to discern the intent.
The Ark is a type. It sounds like you already understand that. So again, you already practice some division. Most people do -- you'd go nuts trying to read every verse in the Bible as if it were written to you.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
For, not to, us.

We have to divide between the fors and the tos.
