The ark is a type of CHRIST placed in the Holy of Holies Scriptures?
The last verse of Rev 11 leading into chapter 12 demonstrates otherwise. Also, please note that the top of the Ark was called the "mercy seat". Sounds to me like it's not God, and not a type of God, but the place where God's presence rests.

Yes, exactly, for RN to say
The ark is a type of CHRIST makes one wonder if she believes in
We Believe in One Lord Jesus Christ
The Only Son of God
Eternally Begotten of the Father
God from God, Light from Light
True God from True God
Begotten, Not Made
One in Being (homoousia) with the Father
Through Him All Things Were Made
To say that the ark was Christ in any way is to deny the Divinity-Humanity nature of Christ.
if you compare the two
the Ark of the Old Covenant
- a container for the Word written down by Moses.
- Not God, just a container, something created
- Not God, just a container, filled with the grace of God
- Not a sacrifice, not a teacher, not a preacher
Christ
- God and man
- 100% God and 100% man, not a container, not a phantom, not just a spirit, but God in flesh
- The Word incarnate, not a container for the Word
- Begotten not made, not created -- not a creature
- Preacher, teacher, Lord, God, not a container, not a created being
To say that the ark was Christ in any way is to deny the Divinity-Humanity nature of Christ.
Do you, Rn:
- Think that Jesus Christ was just a container for God, not actually God in flesh?
- Think that Jesus Christ was created by God, just a creature, not God?
- Think that Jesus Christ is akin to the ark, a created thing, not God?
