This is clear from the meaning of 'the tent of meeting, and the ark' as that which is representative of heaven, dealt with in 9457, 9481, 9485, 9784, the reason why that which is representative of heaven in general is meant being that the tent of meeting within the veil - where the ark was - represented the inmost or third heaven, 9485, the tent of meeting outside the veil represented the middle or second heaven, and the court the last and lowest heaven, 9741; and from the meaning of 'the Testimony' as the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, dealt with in 8535, 9503.
