New Testament Christ comes as a High Priest but not according to the order of the Levites but that of Melchizedek. The tablets of the covenant; in simple terms this refers to the ten commandments which Moses wrote as a replica of those he broke in anger which were written by God`s own hands. The reason to as to why it is called the Ark of the covenant is because it bore the covenant upon which God made with the Israelites His people, however with emphasis, what failed the men of old to fulfill as all covenants bind both parties as it is just like a contract, however the difference with this one is that Our Father did not discharge it because we breached it, but chose novation, as we see Christ
