This seems to me to teach that whether Christ's blood dripped down onto the actual physical ark of the covenant/mercy seat or not is irrelevant. For Christ was purifying not the things made with hands (like the ark of the covenant) but heavenly things of which the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat were simply temporary physical representations.

Here is a somewhat more detailed explication of the subject, and explains in part why I now believe that the blood of Jesus most definitely did NOT "drip on to the mercy seat": --->
