Ariel (Prolotario1): Mysterious Entities Guarding the Ark of the Covenant

As long as we’re still asking questions about the Ark of the Covenant:

1) Why Is Mary called the Ark of the Covenant? | EWTN

The Old Testament is filled with types, people and things which have importance for the Covenant of Moses, or Old Covenant, but which properly prepare for and foreshadow the perfect fulfillment of some spiritual reality in the New or Christian Covenant.

Thus, while the historical Ark of the Covenant carried the Word of God, in the Tablets of the Law, and was considered holy itself, being placed in the Holy of Holies of the Temple, Mary is the true Ark of the Covenant. She carried the Word Himself, the Bread of Heaven, and the Good Shepherd (Heb. 9:3-5; Rev. 11:19-12:1).

“Mary, in whom the Lord himself has just made his dwelling, is the daughter of Zion in person, the ark of the covenant, the place where the glory of the Lord dwells.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2676)

Thus, we see that the Old Testament, concerning the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel), and the New Testament, the Blessed Mother (St. Luke), use almost identical language.And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the LORD come to me?” – 2 Samuel 6:9

[Elizabeth said], “And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” – Luke 1:43Michal … saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD. – 2 Samuel 6:16

And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb. – Luke 1:41

And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months. – 2 Samuel 6:11

And Mary remained with her about three months. – Luke 1:56

St. John in the Book of Revelation also reveals the connection between the Ark and the Blessed Virgin, stating:

Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, loud noises, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. (Revelation 11:19 – 12:1)

2) Why was there danger in approaching the Ark of The Covenant?

“… one should not approach the Ark of the Covenant—and thus God’s intimate presence—lightly.”

Sobering Thoughts for the Year of the Eucharist | EWTN

Both the ancient tabernacle that Moses built, and its much more ornate successor (the Temple) which Solomon constructed, consisted of three main sections:

• an outer court or courtyard (Ex. 27:9ff.)

• an inner court known as the holy place or “holies,” (Ex. 26:33); which featured the altar of incense; and

• an innermost room known as the most holy place or “holy of holies” (26:34), which was separated from the holy place by a veil (Ex. 26:33).

The most holy place was aptly named, for there God provided his most intimate presence on earth. Flanked by two angels, Yahweh was present upon his mercy seat, which was fixed atop the sacred Ark of the Covenant (Ex. 25:8, 17-22). As the popular movie Raiders of the Lost Ark made graphically clear, one should not approach the Ark of the Covenant—and thus God’s intimate presence—lightly. In the Old Covenant, so holy was the most holy place that no one entered it except the high priest, and he only once a year on the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16). If the high priest attempted to draw near to the mercy seat on any other day, he would die (Lev. 16:1-2), as would any other Israelite who attempted to usurp his high priestly role (cf. Num. 3:10, 18:7).

Through his definitive S-------e, Jesus tore down the barrier of sin between God and man, symbolized by the rending of the Temple curtain when He completed His suffering on Calvary for

us (Mt. 27:51, cf. Jn. 19:30). As a result, we can not only draw near to God through Baptism in becoming temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19) and worshipping the Eucharistic Christ in the tabernacle, we can draw even nearer by actually partaking of him in the Eucharist in Holy Communion!

Such blessed access to the divine Real Presence, as St. Paul says, should give us reverential pause in coming forward to receive Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament:

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Leta man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world (1 Cor. 11:27-32; cf.

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1385).
