“Spanning back to the authors of the early Church we can find a special veneration and love for the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary. More than just a mother, she was to be the vessel, or the Ark (Chrysippus (399-479) said, ‘The truly royal Ark, the most precious Ark, was the ever-Virgin Theotokos......’ In S. Mariam Deip in PO 19,338) which would house Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

“Prove He used a metaphor. That is a lie from the devil. Our Lord never said it was a metaphor.”

Question: where does Moses say the ark was a metaphor for Mary?
The ark as a metaphor for Mary? Wow. Surely the ark was a metaphor for Christ, as those who are "in Christ" pass through God's judgment/wrath because they are in Christ who received it. But to miss that by one generation... wow.
