\"\"<\/a>Tim Staples explains how the title Mother of God has it\u2019s foundation in Scripture. It all goes back to the story of the Visitation when Elizabeth calls Mary \u201cMother of my Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

First, when Elizabeth \u201cexclaimed with a loud cry\u2026 why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me\u201d (Luke 1:42-43), Mary was revealed to be the New Testament\u00a0Ark of the Lord.<\/em>Elizabeth\u2019s words make this clear as they hearken back to a text from II Samuel 6:9 wherein David exclaims concerning the Old Covenant \u201cark of the Lord:\u201d<\/p>\n

And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, \u201cHow can the ark of the LORD come to me?\u201d<\/p>\n

If this one parallel leaves you unconvinced, there are more that may tip the scale for you. St. John the Baptist \u201cleaped for joy\u201d at the salutation of Mary (Luke 1:44), just as King David \u201cdanced before the Lord\u201d in the ark of the Lord in II Samuel 6:14. Moreover, Mary \u201cremained with [Elizabeth] for three months (Luke 1:56),\u201d just as \u201cthe ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obededom the Gittite for three months\u201d in II Sam. 6:11.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
