***Can you direct me to the scriptural statement that Jesus is the antitype of the ark?***

No. Nor do I believe it is certain that He is.

Perhaps I am completely misunderstanding your posts, but are you saying that only those things, places or events in the OT that are alluded to allegorically in the NT can properly be called "types?" For example, to my knowledge, Abraham's abortive sacrifice of his son Isaac is not spoken of in the NT as a type of the Father's offering up the Son as a sacrifice. Would you say that it was "speculation" to say that the former event was a "type" of the latter, or that Isaac was a "type" of Jesus?
