List of references to religion in the Halo series: Difference between revisions

In the Bible, there are two "Arks". Firstly, there is Noah's Ark. Noah was instructed by God, who is comparable to the [[Forerunners]] in the Halo Universe, to build an Ark to save all species on earth from a Flood. Similarly, in Halo the Ark was used to save all species from the [[Flood]]. Second, there is the Ark of the Covenant. In the Bible, the Ark of the Covenant was a very holy object which housed the Ten Commandments, a symbol of God's covenant with Israel. Anyone who touched it would die instantly, just as if the Ark in Halo were activated it would also bring death. In the Halo Universe, this is mirrored by the Covenant viewing all Forerunner objects holy.

Also, the Ark of the Covenant was a biblical weapon of mass destruction, as it decimated the outer, protective walls of Jericho. This was done by ''encircling'' the city of Jericho ''seven'' times with the Ark itself.
