This thread: <URL url="http://zionfirefriends.com/index.php?showtopic=1614"> The Tabernacle, a pattern for Christian worship will give you a bit of an introductory overview of some of those fulfillments.
These books by Kevin J. Conner mentioned in that topic would be a really good place to find the information you are seeking in great depth (links are to their Amazon purchase page):

My topic and this article just begin to scratch the surface of the incredible messages to us built into the design and furnishings of the Tabernacle. Each item, and the way it was made and used have layers and layers of symbolic meaning and message. It's something that could be made a life-long study.
One of the most awesome revelations for me has been to come to some understanding of the Mercy Seat, which sits upon the Ark of the Covenant.
The Mercy Seat is the place between the two cherubim, and is the place where the blood of the atonement was poured by the high priest when he came into the Holy of Holies that one day of the year. As Christians, we are taught that Jesus has provided his own blood for our atonement. But do we realize that it was His blood that was poured on the Mercy Seat in the heavenly Tabernacle spoken of in Revelations?. (That is a big wow.) The Mercy Seat and the cherubim were made of solid gold....an emblem of deity. Who are the cherubim? They represent the Father and the Holy Spirit who are overlooking the finished work of the Son through His atoning blood poured on the Mercy Seat...in fact, Yeshua IS our Mercy Seat of the new covenant.
The Mercy Seat is surrounded by a golden crown, which represents the sovereign kingship of Christ. The Mercy Seat is also the throne of God as described in Psalm 80:1.(...You who are enthroned between the cherubim....") So if you ever wonder what the throne of God looks like, or need to represent it in some way....know that we've already been given the picture of God's throne in the Mercy Seat.
