![]() Later, when King David learned that Obed-edom’s household had been blessed because of the Ark’s presence, he decided to continue his course. David was afraid and said, “How can the ark of the LORD come to me?” So he let the Ark stay at the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, where it stayed three months. Then God became angry with Uzzah and killed him. They proceeded to carry the Ark on a cart, and when the oxen stumbled, a man named Uzzah touched the Ark to stabilize it. ![]() In summary, King David wanted to transfer the Ark of the Covenant, the central object involved in the Jewish worship of God, from Baale-judah (which refers to the hill country of Judah ) to Jerusalem. 213 – c.First, let’s recall a text from the Old Testament about the Ark of the Covenant. The ark is verily the holy Virgin, gilded within and without, who received the treasure of universal sanctification. This has been the teaching of the Apostles and the early church since its beginning.QUOTES FROM THE EARLY CHRISTIANSAt that time, the Savior coming from the Virgin, the Ark, brought forth His own Body into the world from that Ark, which was gilded with pure gold within by the Word, and without by the Holy Ghost – St. It is clear when compiling all these scriptures, that Luke is describing Mary as the Ark of the Covenant. This is the same language used to describe when God would “overshadow” the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 40:34). LUKE 1:35“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you therefore the child to be born will be called holy–the Son of God. LUKE 1:56And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.Īccording to Luke, God would “overshadow” Mary. We see that Mary also remained for three months. Then according to scripture, the Ark remained for three months.Ģ SAMUEL 6:11And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household. Those two Old Testament scriptures center around the Ark of the Covenant. The greek word for “spoke out” is a rare one, only used once in the New Testament and twice in the Old Testament(1 Chr 15:28, 1 Chr 16:4 ). When the new Ark is brought before John, he leaps for joy. When bought before the Ark, David dances. ![]() The baby in the womb of Elizabeth was John the Baptist and like the priestly ephod that David wears, John the Baptist is in the priestly line of Aaron. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. LUKE 1:41-42And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And David was wearing a linen ephod.Īnd what happens when Mary is brought before Elizabeth? When the Ark of the Covenant is brought before David, the scriptures declare,Ģ SAMUEL 6:14And David danced before the Lord with all his might. This would be understood by any Jew at the time and was understood by those in the early church.Īs you look closer into both passages the similarities increase. The phrase by Elizabeth is referring to the Old Testament scripture where King David asks,Ģ SAMUEL 6:9“How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” ![]() LUKE 1:43“And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” When the pregnant Mary meets her cousin Elizabeth, Elizabeth greets her by saying, ![]()
