Whereas in the Old Testament, the "ark of the covenant" was the focal point of God's glory, and the temple built to house that, in the New testament, God prepared Himself a body, -- A body in whom all of the fulness of the Godhead was/is pleased to dwell, we are told in Colossians 2:9-10, and Hebrews 10:5.
