Summary

(5745) "the Mishkan, the Mishkan": two times and Rashi (Beg of Parsha, Ex. 38:21) an allusion to the Beis Hamikdash which was taken as "collateral" (Seforno Beg of Parsha).

And the advantage of the eternity of the sanctity of the place of the Mikdash (Rambam Hil. Beis Habechirah 1:3);

The difference between the boundary of ‘rest’ and the boundary of ‘inheritance’(Tal zevachim 119a);

The connection of the aspect of eternity specifically to the Ark.

Tal Zevachim 119a
When they came to Jerusalem etc. Our Rabbis taught: For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance: ‘rest’ alludes to Shiloh; ‘inheritance’, to Jerusalem. And thus it says, My inheritance is become unto Me as a lion in the forest; and it says, Is My inheritance unto Me as a speckled bird of prey? this is R. Judah's opinion. R. Simeon said: ‘Rest’ alludes to Jerusalem; ‘inheritance’, to Shiloh, as it is said, This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it; and it says, For the L-rd hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation.
