In Christianity all believers who abide in God's word carry His Word for eternity. The significance of the Ark was it was God's throne on earth where He spoke with Moses, and was the base for the mercy seat where the Yom Kippur blood sacrifice was sprinkled once a year by the High Priest and only the High Priest had access to the Ark or God's earthly throne.
Ok, I see the distinction.
And also Jesus was the "Mediator of the New Covenant", and not the Covenant himself.
