I know some believe he resurrected and went to heaven for a moment to present His sacrifice ... in between his apparition to Mary and Thomas??

Some clarification ... are you asserting that the New Covenant goes into effect ... at His ascension? Glorification? Exaltation? Pre-Pentecost?

How does your view apply to the thief???
I believe part of the covenant includes Jesus sitting on the throne and ruling. There would be no covenant if Jesus died. His blood ratifies it like all others covenants but was not active until Jesus sits down on the right hand of power. This shows his eternal Priesthood which is essential as part of the covenant.

So it was ratified at his death but not put into place until he ascended and sat next to the Father. I could be wrong but part of the element of the covenant was his eternal priesthood
