How do we know that the ark symbolizes Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The ark is a type of Christ, serving as a refuge from God's judgment, just as Jesus is our refuge from sin and condemnation.

The ark constructed by Noah serves as a powerful symbol of Christ. Just as the ark provided safety from the floodwaters, Jesus Christ is our ultimate refuge from the wrath of God against sin. The dimensions and specifics of the ark illustrate that God designed salvation to be where believers find security. When the floodwaters rose, the ark was elevated above the destruction, which parallels how Christ, by His death and resurrection, secures our eternal salvation. Hence, those who are in Christ, like those in the ark, are kept safe from judgment.
