    The Virgin Mary: The True

    Ark

    Continued 👇🏾 ✍🏾The Holy Virgin as the True Ark of the Covenant For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired her for His dwelling place:‘This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.’”(Psalm 131:14) The entrance of the Virgin Mary into the temple signifies the entrance of the true Ark of the Covenant into the earthly sanctuary. The ancient ark was a symbol of the true and living Ark, Our Lady, the Holy Virgin Mary. In the first temple, beyond the second veil, was the Holy of Holies. This sacred place is a symbol of the heart of Our Lady, the true Holy of Holies, the image of her pure body and soul. The ark within it was covered with gold and held the golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant (Hebrews 9:3–4). Our Lady is pure in spirit, soul, and body, shining with the holiness of pure gold in every aspect of her being. Within her womb was found the true manna, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, announced by the angel. Just as Aaron’s rod blossomed without being planted or watered, the Holy Virgin conceived without seed. Her womb remained virgin, and the seal of her purity was unbroken, revealing the mystery of how she became the Mother of God without corruption. The first temple was a model of Our Lady, and the ancient ark foreshadowed her. She, the Ark of Faith, entered the earthly temple on Tahsas 3; and now she dwells eternally in the temple of heaven, the kingdom of God, which is her everlasting resting place (Psalm 131:13–14). May the intercession, love, tenderness, and motherly care of the Holy Virgin Mary be with us forever. May her prayers strengthen us as we strive to walk in purity and faith, just as she was preserved in holiness from her youth. May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always. May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us. Amen. © John's Repentance Reach out to us on our social media platforms and share it with your friends:https://linktr.ee/johnsrepentance
