Physical land promises made to Abraham and to his seed are a part of the New Covenant, so I think it is too simplistic to say that the Tabernacle of the New Covenant is the heart.
Neverthrless this Mary presented as the “shrine” is cerainly not any one of the six Mary’s of the New Testament, who were all as sinful as any other descendent of Adam, and needed a Saviour as much as any other sinner. Mary could have birthed the Son of God (which she did) and died and gone to Hell, had she acted as the majority of her nation did. She had to personally believe upon Him as her personal Saviour and be born-again like any other sinner.
Obviously she is blessed among women for the honour of being chosen to carry and deliver that which had been begotten in her of the Holy Ghost. She is not the only women in the /bible, however, that enjoyed a wonderful beatitude directly from God.
There is no indication in the New Testament that any person ever worshipped Mary; ever thought about worshiping Mary. There is evidence in the New Testament, actually, that one should not.
You are right, of course, in the need for a physical temple, and wrt promises made to Abraham. The spiritual aspect of the tabernacle/temple however, does apply.

Agreed.
