The Ark only represents Israel, or the Church, in a secondary sense. Obviously, Mary gave birth to Jesus, the child who would rule with an iron rod, in the primary sense.
And Mary fulfills the typology of the Ark of the Covenant. She is the Ark that appeared in Heaven (Rev 11:19). Remember that chapters were added to the Bible by the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1207-1228, and verses in the fifteenth century. This is why the Ark verse appears right before "the woman" in Revelation.
The Ark contained:
--Aaron's staff, representing the priesthood.
--Manna, the bread from heaven.
--The Decalogue or Divine Law or Word of God.
Mary contained Jesus within her womb, Who is:
--The eternal high priest
--The Bread of Life that came down from heaven to bring eternal life.
--The Word of God made flesh.
The Holy Spirit overshadowed the Ark, and the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary.
Well she doesnt any more does she. That make believe view is false. And Mary doesnt return to earth to be persecuted by Satan.
You swallow that RCC swill all you want but it dont make it so according to scripture.
Mary is dead alright.
