The Ark as a Footstool

There are no verses that say indisputably that the Ark is a footstool, but there are some which imply it "" a view that naturally arises if the the Ark depicts a throne. And as Professor Menahem Haran notes in his book (p. 254), if the kapporet and cherubim are the throne of God, then the Ark "" meaning the chest "" must be the the footstool, what else? He further argues (p. 255) that it is not logical to conceive of any throne without a footstool.

Here are some verses seeming to say or imply that the Lord's throne has a footstool.

I Chronicles 28:2: Possibly the Ark is God's footstool.
Psalms 99:5: People shall bow before God's footstool.
Psalms 132:7; 8: Same as above, and moreover this psalm deals with the procession of the Ark.
Isaiah 66:1: The Lord says, "heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool."

If the heavenly throne has a footstool (the earth), the Ark -throne must have one also. But how or where?

Revelation 15King James Version (KJV)

15 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

are you implying that the firmament is possibly flat?

www.projetoockham.org/figuras/terraplana/cosind.jpg this is why i found cosmas' cosmology so interesting- he thought that the firmament was flat and was the floor of heaven and the ceiling of the earth...and that heaven's ceiling was actually domed or vaulted
