ARK OF MARY - NYOBS 16.25

RABBIT TRAIL FROM NYOBS 16 - THE ARK OF THE COVENANT


Ark of Mary – Rabbit Trail
  • The following is handed down by sacred tradition; I include it here because it became somewhat embraced beginning in the fourth century A.D. up until now.
  • The Roman Catholic writers saw the Blessed Virgin Mary as the “Ark of the Covenant” because she herself carried the Savior of mankind within her. – She became the “Holy of Holies
  • “She is the Ark in which is found the golden vessel containing the true manna, that is, the flesh in which Divinity resides”  (Homily of the Papyrus of Turin)
  • I can certainly in my spirit, embrace symbolically that the Ark of wood, containing the old covenant, was only a shadow of the Ark of flesh that contained the new covenant.
  • I can also identify with the love and respect for Mary the mother of Jesus.
  • Roman Catholics believe that Mary was also born of a Virgin, therefore sinless and a co-redeemer equal with Jesus. – Therein lies the problem, it’s just not found in scripture.
