Again this is an idea only, you may consider this as a piece of crap :)
The main key towards this theory is the keywords, and of coz, Bible. Keywords are "Covenant", "Ark", "Flood", etc.

Well first of all just a reminder. Ark of the Covenant is the Ark carrying the Ten Commandments. Covenant of the Ark (Well someone blamed me for this, but there is actually something about it: the Covenant between God and Noah that no flood will destroy the human beings) is another thing. Well someone said that it should be the Covenant of the Ark, but I am sorry to tell you that there IS FLOOD ABOUT ARK OF THE COVENANT.

Let's talk about the Covenant of the Ark first. Covenant of Ark, as I explained before, is something related to flood. Well Covenant, Ark and Flood is all about the Flood that wiped out every human in the earth but Noah and the animals and stuffs. If that stuff is ark, that thing is activate due to either these reasons:

A) They are going to activate the HALO, at the same time saving the Earth from destroying, which may indicates the alliance of human and covenant.
B) They are actually DEACTIVATING the Ark, so that the HALO can wipe out human beings, which indicates the Covenant is STILL the enemies of human. (DUH)
C) I dont know...Activating Ark is something related to the flood, maybe Flood is coming(the FUTURE) and many of the thingys will be destroyed(the way the world ends).

If it is something is related to the Bible, than the words of Cortana make sense. "I have defied Gods and demons". Cortana clearly dont want to activate HALO, so as the Ark. In the Bible (sounds like have Religious Studies now), God told Noah to build an Ark to let the lives on earth survive. Then Demons mean Flood, that means the thingy which is going to destroy the earth.
* Maybe MC represented Noah, and will be the only survivor?? Or together will the animals(Maybe Covenants)
"I am your shield, I am your sword." DUH, Cortana definitely helped Masterchief a lot.
"I know you." DUH, Cortana knows everything about MC, as she has been in the MC.
"Your past, your future." Past, of coz man. Future, well maybe she already knew something about the flood. As she is in the Gravemind, and someone suggested that Gravemind is FLOOD, then she may know that the flood is coming.
"This is the way the world ends." See above.
[Copied from MY post in ITS SO OBVIOUS, WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS BEFORE???]

Well now have a look of the Ark of the Covenant. Joshua 4:18 said: And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before. So there is a possibility that Flood can be actually related to the Ark of the Covenant.

Ark of the Covenant, according to the Wikipedia, it said According to the Bible, the two tablets of stone constituting the "testimony" or evidence of God's covenant with the people (Deuteronomy 31:26). So Ark of the Covenant can be referred as an evidence of the Covenant of the Ark. Sounds weird right?

Bible said that Ark is carried into wars and stuffs like that. Duh, this is a WAR, and maybe Ark is activated due to this reason. Maybe Ark of the COVENANT, means the Ark is belongs to the Covenant, which is activated every time during really bad times like extreme conditions of war. Something really bad must be happening.

Ark once was fallen into enemies' hands. Well, it is possible, but the Ark destroyed the enemies. (Sounds invincible) Either Ark is a safety device, or is a deadly weapon which will kill the enemies of the ones activating it.

Activation of the Halos has happened before. The forerunners have activated it. So what will happen now then you may ask. Well:

1) The forerunners refer to GODS in Cortana's conversation. (Someone has suggested it before)

I have defied Gods... If Gods here means Forerunners, it makes senses, defying God as Cortana did not want to destroy flood WITH the human beings. Maybe this is a sign that Forerunners exist, or even Gravemind is forerunner(Highly impossible) that Cortana defied him. Or even more ridiculous, Gravemind is a strange thing combining Flood and Forerunner. (Sounds really weird). What are demons then? Maybe flood. Flood is naughty boys(DUH), as someone suggested that Gravemind is flood. And she defied Gravemind? Yes of coz.

2) The future is certain. Most possibly, everyone died. (I am not kidding.)

Remember she saying I know your future? Future is a hard thing to understand and predict. So Cortana knows that the future is certain. Death of all stuffs. End of the fight. And bye-bye. But it may refers to the latter release of Halo 3, MC is trying to change the destiny. Sounds cool.

I may update these later. Again these are just IDEAS. Thank you for reading.

No. You are reading way too deep into this.

While it is impossible to ignore the Master Chief's role as a savior and that the Halo trilogy has a lot of biblical references, it does not mimic the plot.

Yeah, please update. Many of your thoughts were confusing the way you put them. I think that the only connections I got out of it were the words Ark, Covenant, and Flood.
