Beth Moore, A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place
"Ark" here, in Hebrew, means chest or coffin. "Why would a coffin serve as the earthly throne of God's glory? Because God's mercy rests only on God's 'death.' The mercy seat was a fitting cover for a coffin. Had there been no plan for death, there would have been no possibility for mercy.... both the first and last objects in the tabernacle pointed to access by death. Whether in God's approach to persons or in our approach to God, there is no approach at all without death..." (178).
