...from the private musings of Taylor Marshall: What is the Historical Date for the Assumption of Mary:
"So I’m suggesting that Mary was assumed about A.D. 63 when Herod’s temple was finally finished. This temple did not have the true Ark of the Covenant – because Mary was the true Ark of the Covenant enshrined not in the Herodian Temple, but in the Temple of the Catholic Church. So the Assumption of Mary is a sort of “pre-tribulation” sign occurring before the seven years of Roman-Jerusalem gridlock culminating in the end of the Mosaic age – the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70."
According to patristic sources, Mary passed away about 15 years after Christ's own death and resurrection, making her about 63 years of age at the time of her departure. So unless she was conceived at the same time as Christ, it seems doubtful.
ReplyDeleteSorry, But DR Taylor Marshall has spoken.
ReplyDeleteSo Indy couldn't have found the Ark, since it had already been taken to heaven. Who knew?
