How does the Ark represent God's presence with His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Ark signifies God's dwelling among His people, representing His presence and assurance of favor.

The Ark of the Covenant played a crucial role in the life of Israel, as it was the designated place where God promised to meet with His people (Exodus 25:22). This meeting point signifies God’s active presence among them, imparting comfort and assurance of His favor. Just as the Ark assured Israel of God's nearness, Christ embodies that presence for believers today. When the Gospel is preached and Christ is exalted, God’s glory manifests among His people, affirming that He is with them. Therefore, the Ark serves as a shadow of Christ's fulfillment of God's promise that He will be with His people, culminating in Christ's incarnation and ongoing presence through the Holy Spirit.
