Between the Cherubim

This is just an incredible correlation of scriptures that I had heard of, but never knew the depth of.
If you've studied the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament or seen "Raiders of the Lost Ark" you've seen that the Ark has a golden covering with two angels facing one another.  This covering is called the Mercy Seat.  In Exodus 25 we read v21"You shall put the Mercy Seat on top of the ark,and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I shall give to you.  v22And there I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are above the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel."  When God spoke to Moses in Tent of Meeting, he met with him and spoke to him from the mercy seat, specifically from between the cherubim.
During the days of the temple the ark was kept in the Holy of Holies being shut off from the people with a black veil, and only the High Priest could approach the ark once a year with blood offered for the sins of the people. Heb 9:7
In John 20 we see Mary outside the tomb of Jesus.  "v11But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb; v12 and she beheld two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying."   Christ is the fulfilment of the mercy seat.  It is at the place of Christ's resurrection and life that we meet with God and speak with him.  We are united with him in his resurrection and we become a new creation purified with Christ"s righteousness, adopted children with an inheritance(Rom 6:5, Cor 5:17&21,Rom 8:15,Col1:12).  Christ as our High Priest broke through the veil(representing sin), covered the covenant with mercy and with his blood for our sins so we can enter into the holy place and meet with God with confidence. 
Since therefore, brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great High Priest over the House of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water Heb 10:19-22.
