You are not supposed to make graven images of anything or anyone. You are not to kneel in front of them, pray in front of them,kiss them,venerate them,etc.
These are not my rules.
It is form of idolatry to use ANY image or icon in worship to Him.
Deuteronomy 4:15-20.
P.S.
The sarcasm is not necessary.Are you afraid of the truth?
An artist depicting two Aaronic priests bowing before the Ark of the Covenant is not an authority for claiming that this actually took place.
It amazes me that some people can’t see that God can make a general prohibition binding on man, but is not bound by it Himself, due to His sovereignty. His sovereignty also allows Him to grant specific license, as He sees fit, to specific men, to violate a general prohibition in certain circumstances. When God commanded the Israelites to slay every man, woman, and child in Canaan, that did not mean that the commandment against murder was rescinded. Neither does it mean, that because God commanded certain specific images to be manufactured, that the general prohibition against them was rescinded.
As each of your pictures show, the images on the ark were BOWING....to God, unseen above.
Unlike icons or other images used by Rome or the Eastern they were NOT facing the worshipers, as if they were hearing prayer and adoration.
Veneration of images themselves is NEVER called for, or even allowed, in either the Old Testament or the New Testament.
When Church bodies with their traditions think they know better than the collected wisdom of all the Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles and Jesus Himself in the Bible....there is a serious problem...
