Without the atonement Christ offers man was consumed by the presents of God. (Think raiders of the lost ark. If need be,)
In OT times this was the reason God and the holiest of holies was separated in the temple from everyone else's and that only one priest was allowed to enter that holy place and perform the required ceremonies once a year. After the death on the cross a great earthquake hit the temple and the massive curtain that separated the holy part of the temple from everyone else ripped from top to bottom signaling then end of the need we had to be separated from God.
In the book of Acts 2 the Holy Spirit gets 'poured out' over the believers of Christ. Enabling Spiritual fruit and Spiritual gifts. So God found a new home in the hearts of his believers, therefore the box That you are looking for was no longer needed and it was discarded. Why? So people would not worship it as an idol. So we would learn to invite God into our lives, rather than seek God in a box.
