THE ARK OF THE COVENANT
A friend of mine, Rev. Robert Earl Easley, used to track the movement of the "Ark of the Covenant" throughout the Old Testament, until it "vanished," "disappeared from the texts," without a trace, he told me. Knowing of that entity's quixotic propensities from my own studies, I dropped the subject.
This morning, however, it occurred to me, in my near-sleep, that THE BIBLE, itself, both books, the Old and New Testaments, may be the "Ark of the Covenant," metamorphosed. I have no proof nor even evidence of this supposition. I simply share it, for whatever it may be worth, to whomever might receive it, this morning. Thank you, Rev. Easley, my Baptist friend! Amen.
