Mary is the ark, Christ is sitting on the mercy seat.
> “You shall make a [h]mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half [i]cubits [j]long and one and a half cubits [k]wide. 18 You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work [l]at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub [m]at one end and one cherub [n]at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 20 The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and [o]facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 21 You shall put the mercy seat [p]on top of the ark,
Christ sits on top of the Ark on the mercy seat, with two cherubims facing him
>And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
>Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
back to exodus 25
> , and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you.
>22 There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.
Lev16:2
>And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
Before concluding, let's see what's in the ark
Heb9:4
>Having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna, and the rod of Aaron, that had blossomed, and the tables of the testament.
Manna = Living Bread that was given from the sky by God to the israelites, to be eaten. Another connection to the eucharist.
Rod of Aaron which blossomed = High Priest Jesus Christ
tables of the testament = the Law, Jesus Christ.
There's more but I hope this is enough to convince you.
