The Catholic Church gives Mary the mother of Jesus many titles, so many in fact that she is often accused of exaggerating and distorting who she really is. How can the simple Mary of the Bible be Mother of God, Mediatrix, Co-Redeemer, Queen of Heaven and Ark of the Covenant, just to name a few? In this talk, Robert Haddad examines the claim that Mary is the new Ark of the Covenant. Robert outlines what the original Ark was like and how it symbolised in type the Virgin Mary. At the same time, Robert looks at other types of Mary that pre-figured her in the Old Testament. In addition, Robert outlines the history of the destruction of the Temple of Solomon, how the Glory Presence of God departed from the Temple and how the original Ark of the Covenant was lost. This is done to highlight how Jesus and Mary were ordained by God to be the Glory and Ark of the restored second Temple. Finally, Robert relates how the original Tabernacle and Temple were earthly representations of God’s Heavenly abode and how Jesus and Mary, through their ascension and assumption into Heaven, became and remain the Glory and Ark of the Heavenly Temple.

Mary’s Perpetual Virginity: Why Does It Matter?
The first thing to note about the perpetual virginity of Mary is that it’s the natural extension of the dogma of the virgin birth. Many modern people assume that, at its core, the virgin birth was basically a stunt. That is, the common modern assumption is that the meaning of Mary’s virginity is pretty much exhausted when somebody says, “Wow! She had a kid without the assistance of a man! Cool! He must be God Incarnate or something! Let’s check him out!”
…
The point is that the virginity of Mary is a sign, not a stunt. Stunts merely draw attention. They often don’t mean much beyond, “HEY!” And, at any rate, Jesus’ virgin birth drew no attention at the time it took place. But signs – and especially divine signs – are crammed with meaning. That is, signs signify. So the question becomes, “What did the virginity of Mary signify?” And the answer of the Catholic Church is that Mary’s perpetual virginity signifies crucial things, both about the “person of Christ and his redemptive mission” and “the welcome Mary gave that mission on behalf of all men” (CCC 499). And since, like all divine signs, this one goes on signifying long after its immediate time, Mary’s virginity is appropriate, fitting, and significant on a perpetual basis.
