As Gansky explains the various angelic beings in the Gospel tomb accounts appear in the same order as the positions of angelic figures and Priests in Jerusalem’s Temple. And the Tomb’s bench where Jesus’ crucified body lay is situated like the Ark of the Covenant’s place in the Temple’s Holy of Holies.
Gansky points out there is one subtle difference between Jesus’ tomb and Jerusalem’s magnificent Temple. In the Temple’s Holy of Holies, the angels and priests are standing. But in the tomb accounts of the Gospels the angels are seated where the body of Jesus had been, as is the man in the tomb where the priest in the Temple stood; as if affirming the sacrificial work of atonement had now been completed for all time.
