Thank you, Father - profoundly grateful for your insight!
I kept passing this video up because who needs almost an hour and half to explain the Ark of the Covenant? Once I started it, I could not stop watching. Excellent explanation better than I could’ve imagined. Your videos are always full of facts and no filler. Every second is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you and God bless you. Yes, there's so much to say that it did take some time. Thank you
Father Chris is all ways chalk full of knowledge enjoy Saturday Teaching's!!!
This is amazing, every morning I read the Bible and I'm currently reading the Old Testament. Well this morning before your talk I was reading Exodus 26: 15-30 about the Sacred Tent and I even looked it up on You Tube to get an idea of how beautiful it must have been. Wow, I just can't believe your talk is exactly what I am reading in the Bible!! And I was looking for a video to show all of the splendor and my wish was granted praise to be God!!! What a gift this talk is and you are as well Father Chris!! We are truly blessed to have you shepard us!!
Wow, that's awesome how God works :) Thank you for joining us!

Thank you father doing what you are doing and continue to do that I pray .
Beautiful and truthful parallels Father, thank you and God Bless!
Father Chris, This is by far THE BEST video you have done! I think it should be shown at the end of every RCIA and Catechism Confirmation close! Amazing info! Thank you for enlightening me!!❤❤🙏💕✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've read the bible over and over and have known Mary, our mother, but have never known the connection of Mary to the Ark. It's only Father Alar who has educated me with this brilliant hidden thought about Mary and the Ark. Thanks father and may the Holy spirit continously shine on you.
Beautiful presentation, Father. I love all these interesting facts which I did not know. God bless you in your ministry.
God bless you too Johanna
Incredible talk Father Chris! Looking forward to next week’s talk on the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Thank you and God bless🙏🏽❤️
Read the bible don’t take any ones word for granted you are responsible for your own salvation . The Catholic Church worship Mary , that’s is not good teaching , israel was sent into captivity for praying to idols .God hates people who carve idols for the people to pray to. Read your Bible they teach a different gospel I can from a catholic background I still attend mass when I can’t get to church service ? I get a change to pray with others I the Catholic Church to experience the Holy Spirit. And ask them if they would like to receive Jesus as their lord and saviour. No where I the bible we are to look upon mary Jesus side the Holy Spirit will come and be our councillor out guide, will gild us in all truth not Mary. In their watch people at going to hell ! Sad read your Bible !
Dear AJ, please refrain from making such false statements.... statements that show you don't know what the Roman Catholic teaching actually is. Catholicism doesn't worship Mary and again, that just shows your ignorance of Catholic teaching, so please reconsider before saying things that aren't true. If God didn't allow carved images, then why did he command Cherubim on the Ark or the bronze serpent to be carved on the pole by Moses? Please watch this video (I am sorry it is a bit long) but it shows why everything you think about the Catholic church is not true. God bless. czcams.com/video/06mgry1cPf4/video.html

Mother Mary is awesome!
These are wonderful videos. Highly educational and spiritually enlightening. God bless you Father Chris.
Thank you for taking the time to join us and God bless you
Awesome!! Just gives me a better understanding of the first books in the Bible and also my Catholic faith..... Thank You LORD
I heard a lot of the Ark and the Tent of Meeting during Father Mike’s ‘Bible in a Year’ podcast, but having pictures definitely helps visualize what everything looks like. He also pointed out the comparison between David with the Ark and Mary visiting Elizabeth, so I’m glad more people get to hear about such a beautiful connection with the OT and NT 😇
It’s always funny when people complain “MaRy iSn’t in tHe bIbLe” when it’s quite clear she played an important role in our salvation history. Her and the Ark’s purity is also a connection I emphasize when confronted with the Perpetual Virgin dogma and the “she had other kids” argument. Seeing as Joseph also had direct visions from God and was a righteous man, why would he even think about defiling his Lord’s earthly home? Especially since the text implies he and Mary were going to have a different marriage from the start?
I do feel sorry for Uzza as I also would have stabilized the Ark, but it was stated no touching and the Ark wasn’t being carried by the Levis so a bad situation all around. I just wonder how heavy the Ark was and how strong the men had to have been to carry it across such harsh terrain. 😅 I can sometimes get winded just walking outside.
Wonderful talk as always Father Chris, and can’t wait for the first Saturday devotion! Keeping you, the other Marians, and others in my prayers every day. 🙏
God bless you Jen....Yes, we did the First Saturday and it is posted :) THank you
Hello sister: thanks for your thoughts
you ask good questions: hutchinson team attempted to recreate the ark to the bible's specifications. they ran into difficulties almost immediately... the bible states a lid of pure gold (i guess thats 24 carats) is required. the cherubim on the lid are also required to be pure gold (this is still highly skilled work, today, to cast gold in this manner). considering the original ark builders made the ark 3000 years ago, I find myself wondering how they fused the cherubim onto the lid. (great heat would be required).
the carpenter on hutchinson project, estimated the overall weight of the ark to be "2 tons" (that's heavier than a modern motor vehicle). strongmen today, can lift 1 ton (1000 kg) for a few seconds (if they are elite lifters and highly trained)
how the priestcast carried a 2 ton box through the desert in dry, hot conditions, or circled city walls is not satisfactorily answered in my mind (I happen to work in engineering).
hutchinson team estimated the cost of a genuine replica ark, today at: "10 million dollars". in my opinion, the hutchinson team replica was highly flawed, although an interesting experiment. they did not use "overlay" gold, solid gold lid and cherubims, and they certainly didnt carry this box through desert terrain. (a much smaller scale model could be built, using "continuous" gold overlay inside and out: which I believe is the key to how it operates)... however...
If I've understood Father Alar correctly, it doesnt really matter what happened to the ark, prophecy was fulfilled by the ark becoming flesh in the NT. Since I've worked on a few electrical projects, I find myself agreeing. The hebrews figured out the genuine ark was lethal. One man, probably trained and wearing special clothing, approached ark once a year, sprinkling lambs blood on the lid (I dont believe he touched it directly).
when you work with electrical devices, you begin to respect them pretty darn quick....
peace: thanks for reading.

After listening as of today to 50 of these videos, educating myself on the catholic catechism, I have decided that I will teach catechism at our parish. There is so Much that’s been forgotten, so much of such importance! I am excited to share it with my children and other children and now can see how important it is that we do!! They are it they are the future of the church and I want them all to be spiritual warriors prepared for anything ahead. Thank you father Chris a delight as always ❤️
Thank you Jennifer and God bless you for answering God's call to spread the faith! I hope some of this information will be helpful for you to use
Father Chris, awesome Saturday class, and on Our devotion of first Saturday to Mother Mary.

Another great topic- Father Chris. God is always good. Bless Father Chris with good health and all MIC priests all over the world.
God bless you too Anita :)
Dear Father Alar,
Thank you for your broadcast. I want to share with you a very special experience I had today.
I was taking a nap and had a very unusual dream. I then woke up and noticed my cheeks were wet with tears. I did not understand why I cried, so I tried to remember the dream. Then I remembered that I dreamt that I was standing in front of a small boxlike concrete building structure that I felt was very holy, but it was too small to be a church. In my dream, I felt the presence of God within that structure and started crying effusively in my dream. Then I noticed through my CZcams history, I was listening to CZcams news about the Russian/Ukraine war with my airpod in my ear, and I fell asleep. After that news episode ended, subsequent CZcams episodes broadcasts followed, and then my airpod fell out of my ear and then I woke up. When I looked at my iPhone, I notice the broadcast stopped in the middle of your broadcast: “Explaining the Faith- Ark of the Covenant”. I don’t know what “Ark of the Covenant” means, so I listen from the beginning of that broadcast. Your broadcast then related the meaning and the relationship of the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament, and Mary as the New Ark of the Covenant in the New Testament, and the Tabernacle in our Catholic Church as the vessel holding the Eucharist who is Jesus Himself. Then I realized, the “holy boxlike structure” that made me cried effusively in my dream was the Tabernacle that holds the Eucharist that is Christ Himself.
I then listened to your next broadcast about Penance and preparing for Lent Season, starting with Ash Wednesday tomorrow. That was very informative, and I intend to make this Lent season to be the best and most meaningful Lent season I have ever had.
Wow, that is quite interesting. Thank you so much for sharing it and God bless you!
What a talk! Fr. Chris you research and present in such convincing ways! Keep it up with God’s Blessings!
God bless you Father Chris. Thank God you became a priest and have thus blessed us with your teachings and ministry. I have never been a more proud Catholic.

Fr.

Thank you God for calling Fr Chris to be a Catholic Priest and Thank you Fr Chris for saying Yes. I am truly amazed with this teaching about the Ark Of The Covenant! I have been Roman Catholic all my life and I have never heard so much of what you taught us. I am so amazed and Praise God for giving me to my Catholic Family! Mother Mary Pray for us! St Joseph pray for us!
Thank you Tracie we are so happy you are taking the time to be with us :)
For the thirrd time listening to this very affirming talk.
Great job Fr Chris. I particularly liked the connection of Yom Kippur with Divine Mercy Sunday and the Mercy seat. I loved the whole talk, very deep theology. I saw these videos too on CZcams. The true and Final Arc, Mary. Beautiful! The entire description of the arc and what is inside: commands us to follow His commandments and today we can live in the Arc of the of the Immaculate heart, United to the Sacred Heart. Mary, who is exemplar of obedience to the commandments, but contains not the engraved Commandments of stone , but the very living Word Itself. This is very, very deep theology you have explained. We could talk about this for weeks. You did a great job. Notice the people broke the commandments and so Moses smashed the tablets but God proves His infinite mercy and fixed the breaking of the commandments in the people souls and the tablets which were thrown down and broken by Moses to demonstrate the grave sin of the people.
Thank you Mary Ann.... we are glad you are sharing your spiritual journey with us through these talks :) God bless you!
Divine Mercy have no idea why I kept miss spelling Ark.
Best explanation of the Ark of the Covenant I’ve heard yet. I feel like I learned some important things about my Catholic religion today. Thank you! You are an awesome teacher Father Alar!
Thank you Linda for taking the time to practice your faith and God bless you!
Learning this after following Fr Mike Schmitz Bible in a Year is just amazing!
Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration in details for the Ark of the Covenant.
Thank you Father Chris .. this is very informative . God bless you always .
🌹 Ohhh how do I love the Blessed Mother!! 🌹 Thank you , Holy Mother for trying to get mankind to return to God. Together with you and your faithful we pray the same. The Rosary is my deepest peace along with the Divine Mercy chaplet. You said “Go in Peace”, praying, mass or studying the Bible is my solace. Thank you for this loyal intelligent loving priest, Fr. Chris. He does heaven’s work with a depth of love, I too share sadly without his brilliant mind, but he is teaching me and others. Thanks be to God! Thank you good Fr. Chris. 🪴

God bless you Father. Love and regards from India
God bless you too Jose!
Blessed be God forever for sending us this message through this Priest. Amen
A radio guest recounted recently about a Protestant friend who asked "what's this "Mary thing" you Catholics have? Why do you do it?" To which he had responded:
"well, do you believe in the infallible authority of God's Word?
"Oh, yes, Of course!"
And do you remember the part where Mary says "Generations will call me blessed"?
"Yes."
'Well- that's what we're doing."
Friend stops in thought, and then replies ,"that makes sense." 🙏
Thank you Father Chris, that is a great teaching.
Blessed Mother Mary Is the New Ark of the Covenant, she carries Jesus in her belly for 9 months , and Jesus is the world made flesh (10 commandements) 🙏🙏
Thank you Fr Alar for teaching us our Catholic faith. I have learned from and enjoyed many of your teachings. God bless and reward you 🙏🙏
