...long turned to dust.
The saints in glory are dead? Aren't they more alive than us?
Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm. A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.The ark is a type for Mary. The ark contained the manna, the Ten Commandments, and the staff of Aaron (which represented the priesthood), and was kept in the Holy of Holies.
Mary's womb contained Jesus, Who is "the bread of life," the author of the Divine Law, and the eternal High Priest. Jesus dwelled within Mary whose holiness excelled that of the Holy of Holies, since she was concieved without sin.
Wow! What an insult to Christ Himself.
