How do we know the Ark of the Covenant symbolizes Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Ark of the Covenant symbolizes Christ as it contains the law fulfilled and the mercy seat where God meets with us.

The Ark of the Covenant, as described in Exodus 25, holds profound significance within Reformed theology as it symbolizes Jesus Christ. This is illustrated by the contents of the ark: the unbroken law, represented by the stone tablets, symbolizes God's perfect standard which Christ fulfilled. Beneath the mercy seat, where the blood was sprinkled for atonement, Christ's sacrificial death aligns perfectly with the role of the ark. This typology indicates that everything pertaining to the ark, including its mercy seat, serves as a picture pointing to Christ as our Savior, mediator, and the ultimate fulfillment of God's law.
