Hmm i dont know if this has been thought of before but doesnt this kinda make sense that the Ark of the Covenant is conected to halo for example MC name is John 117 so heres the excerpt:

Because while the law was given through moses,
race and truth came through Jesus Christ

Excerpt from Exodus on the ark of the covenant
The lord said to moses
And let them make me a Sanctuary
that I may dwell in their midst.
According to all that I show you
concerning the pattern of the tabernacle,
and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.

Exodus could be compared to the Great Journey

The activation of the rings the first time could have been the flood which destroyed the earth thus the name of the forruner ship being the ark. The remenants of the ark would indicate that thier were survivors.

It's been talked about before, but not exactly in that manner. What I mean by that is the "Great Journey" being a form of Exodus. But I'm starting to believe that instead of the Ark as the Covenents know it being like Noah's ark because of the Flood, it's shaping up that it's more like the Ark the Prophet Moses and his crew carried around. I may be wrong, but wasn't the Covenant in the Old Testament meant to never be opened. I'm a little frustrated that I can't remember since I just took an Intro to the Bible-type class last semester.

You got John 1:17. what about John 11:7?

"Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again."

Jesus returning to Judaea even though they stoned him previously. Similar to a Shakespeare quote that leaps to mind.

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood." - Henry V.

Yes i believe so to open it was to open pandoras box in a way it was said that a slave peeked inside and was burned instantly from my reading of it was meant to be gods dwelling.

If it had the same effect as in the Indian Jones movie than maybe that's why the Covenant Cruisers were running away. must suck for a brute when his furry fates melts away ouch!

Lol, thats pretty cool.

And....
The doors of God's Temple in Heaven flew open, and the Ark of his Covenant was clearly seen surrounded by flashes of lightning, loud shouts, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a fierce hailstorm.

I believe that the Earth is indeed the Ark, and that beam you saw in the trailer was the activation of the rings and an energy shield that envelopes the earth, thus protecting only it from destruction, because if it were destroyed, so too would the ark, the command and control center of the halos.

I thought the invasion of earth was only 50 ships which should have been nothing for earths defences i dont get how they won the war must have gotten reinforcements cause it doesnt make sense that earth would be soo under defended.

The second invasion led by Truth was much larger, not to mention that the trailer was taken 3/4 of the way through the game.

Bungie told press afterwards during a private demonstration that it was taken at an extremely important part 3/4 of the way through the game, thats what IGN (who was there) said.

Someone go look up Revelation 1:17, about St. John the Divine (I think). I'm not religious, so I don't have a Bible to do it.

While they're at it, go find Revelation 11:7 if such a passage exists.

I remember it being very pertinent to the subject being discussed.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

The ark of the covenant of the bible was a large object that the isrealis carried with a blanket over top. Four men holdign the ark would always march infront of the military when they amrched to war. It was said who ever glared at the ark would die instantly as well as who ever touched it. When one man thought the ark was going to fall over he tried to push it up and accidently touched the ark. He was set on fire and died. So no it's not the ark fo the covenant it is noahs ark. I suggest you read up on the book of enoch (mentioned twice in the new testament). It gives a clearer view of the biblical flood. Telling us the real reason godc reated the flood was to kill of a race of giants that was causing chaos for humanity and creatures of the world. It was said when the fallen angels left heaven they came to earth and looked downa t the daughters of men with lust. They came down and mated with the women and then taught humanity forbidden magic (science) and arts for mortals to know. When the women conceided the giants were born. When the land could no longer feed all the giants they turned on man and the creatures. If god had not killed all that life by causing rain to come from the "seven gates of heaven" all life and the blood line of adam would of died and thus christ would never of been born.

Scholars have pointed out the fallen angels appear to match gods of other cultures. The covenant worship the forerunners as gods. Also the flood attacked the forerunners like they were mortal enemies. Lastly when truth speaks of the great journey as well as the other prophets it matchs the angels of heavens descriptions of the Road to hell. In other words if Truth is really following the worlds of the forerunners they are indeed either the giants
( sons of humanity and angels) or the fallen angels ( Appear like angels who in turn are similar to humanity). If he is not speaking the words from the forerunners then the forerunners were the angels that told noah to build the ark ( on behalf of god as if there were messangers of god).

So either way but there not humanity thats for sure.

Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
