The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Heavenly Sanctuary

While the verse mentions a "temple of God... in heaven" and the "ark of his testament," it does not explicitly state that this heavenly temple is a counterpart to an earthly system, nor does it describe it as a throne room or a place where Christ ministers as priest. The focus is on the opening of the temple and the accompanying phenomena, rather than its function as a sanctuary.
