Did the Mosaic Covenant End at the Battle of Aphek?
In Peter Leithart’s A House For My Name, he says that the mosaic covenant comes to an end when the ark is taken by the philistines in 1 Samuel. Is this correct to say the covenant has ended?

What other purposes might there be for the symbolism in Revelation? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
