Meditation on the Ark and The Cup

There is something I'm not understanding.

Exodus 25:16-22
Then put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. 17 "Make an atonement cover [c] of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. [d] 18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. 20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. 21 Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. 22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.

Underneath the wings of the cherubim was the mercy seat where the blood was sprinkled.

Psalm 17:8
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings

Psalm 36:7How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Psalm 57:1[ For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam . When he had fled from Saul into the cave. ] Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.

Psalm 61:4I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah

Psalm 63:7Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

Our refuge is in Gods mercy and the blood of the covenant.

Matthew 26:28
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Mark 14:24"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them.

Luke 22:20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

1 Corinthians 11:25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."

There's something glorious that I'm not seeing.
