Jesus told the disciples that the ENTIRE OT was about HIM not His momma.. The Ark was a type of Christ, containing the OT elements that were types of Him... the manna, the budding staff and the law.. all symbols of the promised Savior they were contained in the ark..the tabernacle
The cover was the place of Mercy, where the High Priest can and poured the blood of a Bull..first for his sin and then for the sin of the nation .. When God came down, His glory resred above the mercy seat—between the cherubim... Mary has no mercy to give.. Mary is not the source of Grace or Mercy ..
That Ark was kept in the tabernacle .. It was where they went for mercy ..That is Christ not His mother.
That Ark led Israel into battle.. do you think that Jesus would send His mother in front of the army? Would Jesus allow His mother to be captured by the enemies?
The psalms make clear who the ark was .. the Ark is called "the strength and glory of God"; , it is spoken of as "the ark of the strength of the Lord."
Was Mary the strength of God?
Well done!!
Well said.
The Krazy Katholic Kounter Klaims(TM) don't stop there! I've had several Catholics tell me that the ark parallels even extend to people being struck dead if they touched Mary! That's one way to maintain "Perpetual Virginity" I suppose!
Really great post!
