A different theory...

I have a quite different thoery explaining the great journey, and the ark, and well, eveything.
This is building on the theory about the covenant following the clues or "artifacts" to earth....... but here's my theory (or two)
What if the covenant actually do know the purpose of the halos are, and the "great journey" is actually the journey to find the ark (which is on earth) What if there is already an outbreak of flood, on other instalations not known to humans, and the covenant recognize the flood as a threat. The great journey could be actually be their attempt to destroy the flood, rather than some crazy religious prophesy as we are led to believe. The prophets, being from the forruner homeworld (or so i believe) would more than likely know a bit more about the halos than a crazy prophecy. SInce the covenant is basicly many races under the controll of the prophets, the prophets would be gathering as many soldiers as possible to destroy the flood. The great journey could just be a story, just made up as a way to have them follow them, and made them believe all their missions concerning the halos, or the artifacts, were in fact part of some religious prophecy.
The humans believe that the covenants purpose is one of religion, and believe the covenant are making a big mistake........ but what if the covenant know exactly what they are doing......
it makes perfect sense now that I think about it........... everything fits in...... including the ark, it fits with the "religius" covenant story, and with the prophets intentions to destroy the flood without destroying themselves. think about it, a covenant, biblically, is a promise kept by god, like in the story of noah's ark, god promised never to flood the earth again. The flood, the ark, the covenant.... it all fits.
And the humans, of course might be decendants of forrunners chosen to be the "reclaimers" on the ark world who would survive in the event of the halos firing to continue the forrunner race. Or they could be a tottaly different race, but still chosen to be the reclaimers so life would still exist, and to set off the halos again, in the case of another outbreak.
This theory would explain everything, the purpose of the great journey, the biblical names for all forunner related places/items, the prophets ruling over the other races........
and another theory about the hostility between humans and covenant
At first, they might have been hostile just because we were in their way, then actually trying to stop them from firing the halos. Then they learned the humans were the inhabitants of the ark, and the prophets want to take their place, so the covenant are lead to believe the humans are their enemy in this "holy war"
