To answer your question-- The original AOTC housed the Law, the holy Word of God. The NEW AOTC (Mary) housed the Word of God who was Jesus. You don't see the correlation?

No! I do not see the correlation. Here is why. Their is no where in Scripture where Mary is refered to as the Ark of the Covenant.

Andiclare and Sweet Surrender my friends that woman in the vision is Israel.
John the baptist lept over close proximity with Jesus not his earthly vessel (although I am sure she was a nice girl). The Ark while it did bring blessing also killed any who approached it outside of an extremely specific set of rules- are you attributing that to that nice little Jewish girl?
The Ark itself had little value except that it bore the manifest presence of God and when not used in strict accordance with God's will it was of no use and sometimes the source of death.
The Ark was about Jesus- why were the regulations so extremely specific when approaching the presence of the Holy God- all these things were but types and shadows of this- God provided only one way into His presence- the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ. It was only when the blood was applies to the mercy seat which covered the law that man could meet with God. Mary is not seen having blood poured on her nor is she the intercessor between God and man as that office belongs solely to Christ:
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

She doesn't have to be explicitly referred to as such. She carried the Word of God inside her. It is quite simple logic.

J, I will ask you again,

I have a better question for you, Do you not concider the bible for your source of truth concerning things of the bible?

Boanerges · 04-21-2008, 09:40 PM

I carry the Word of God inside of me as He makes my heart His throne.

It's called a TYPE... and the Bible doesn't always spell everything out exactly, word for word.

Actually true types and shadows in the Old Covenant are quite explicit and detailed.

Technically by your standards my car would count if I drove around with a bible in it.

I don't think that is true, you are not recorded in the scriptures, Mary and the passage from Revelation is.

Of course but with other than an unsubstantiated opinion the two are not connected at all.
