===Dangers associated with the Ark of the Old Covenant===
===Dangers associated with the Ark of the Old Covenant===
The ark was very dangerous. [[Uzzah]] was killed for touching the ark (since he was not of the Priestly order), and 50,760 citizens of [[Beth-shemesh]] were killed by God because some of them looked inside it.

In the [[Indiana Jones]] film, [[Raiders of the Lost Ark]], many Nazis are killed because they open up the Ark, however, Indiana and the woman Marian are spared because they close their eyes as the Ark is being opened.

The Ark of the New Covenant is the Blessed [[Virgin]] [[Mary]], who, just as the Ark of the Old Covenant bore the God's Commandments, bore Our [[Lord]], [[Jesus Christ]].
