Theres seven Seals, Censers, and Trumpets in Revelation, not rings. And somehow i don't think Jesus is a Caucasian cloned cyborg who goes around killing people. Arbiter is more like a messiah figure though.
i think that the covenant did know about the ark there, otherwise they would not have brought scarabs. i believe the scarabs (the really huge things) are digging equipment. Why?
they are not well designed for combat. they have only one defense gun on the back, and the main gun is not designed to be used on anything but a stationary target right in front of the vehicle. the scarab is lightly armored also, and the crew is hardly protected.
the main gun is a powerful, precise cutting tool, something that would be very useful in a digging project for the ark. its legs are also designed for all terrain movement, rather than speed for combat.
my two cents
