Summary
This official FHMI position paper argues that bowing before a physical representation of the Ark of the Covenant, done in reverence to Yahweh, is not idolatry. It distinguishes heaven-revealed patterns from man-invented idols, identifies the Ark as Yahweh's footstool and earthly throne, and cites Joshua, David, Solomon and the Levites ministering before the Ark. It also cites Dagon falling before it and John seeing the Ark in heaven.
