The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
