"Ark of the Covenant" about to be unveiled in Ethiopia?
Abuna Paulos, patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia

  • Ethiopian patriarch tells pope he will show artifact to world

(WND) The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world's most prized archaeological and spiritual artifact, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.

Abuna Paulos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."

The announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m. Italian time from the Hotel Aldrovandi in Rome. Pauolos will reportedly be accompanied by Prince Aklile Berhan Makonnen Haile Sellassie and Duke Amedeo D'Acosta.

"The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries," said Pauolos. "As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now."
According to Pauolos, the actual Ark has been kept in one church, but to defend the treasure, a copy was placed in every single church in Ethiopia.

He said a museum is being built in Axum, Ethiopia, where the Ark will be displayed. A foundation of D'Acosta will fund the project.

The Ark of the Covenant is the sacred container of the Ten Commandments as well as Aaron's rod and a sample of manna, the mysterious food that kept the Israelites alive while wandering in the wilderness during their journey to the promised land.

The Bible says the Ark was built to the specifications of God as He spoke to Moses. It was carried in advance of the people and their army by priests. It was also carried in a seven-day procession around the walled city of Jericho.

The idea that the Ark is presently in Ethiopia is a well-documented, albeit disputed, tradition dating back to at least 642 B.C. The tradition says it was moved to Elephantine Island in Egypt, then to Tana Kirkos Island in Ethiopia and finally to its present site at St. Mary's of Zion Church in Axum.

Ethiopians believe it is destined to be delivered to the Messiah when He reigns on Mount Zion – the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 3:16 points to a time when the Ark will vanish not only physically, but from the minds of the people: "And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more."

The Book of Revelation says the Ark is in the temple of God in heaven (Rev. 11:19). Muslim scholars say it will be found near the end of times by the Mahdi – a messianic figure in Islam.

Abuna Paulos,
"The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries," said Pauolos. "As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now."
So this guy is qualified and holy person. What a self-assertion. But from his dealing, I can see that he is more of hodam than holy.(Hodam in Amharic is a person who can do everything to you to gain something, simply 'big belly').

wait
Prior to sharing our views on this matter, it seems wise to give it time to find out if it is true. It is vry unlikely to have it. yet obviously it might be a historical artifact pimarily for Israelites than Ethiopians since it was given to them. If there is a need to boast, let them boast and rejoice more than anybody still not for its religious signiicance as the Old Covenant is replaced with the New Covenant.


be calm, stop insulting one another as well as acting like a prophet.

Secrets of the Vatican - UFO's in the Ancient
- Three elements of this device have a special purpose:

1) "The Testimony" that Yahweh sent directly to Moses = walkie - talkie. 2)" The mercy cover" = loudspeaker.

3) The golden cherubim = antennas. The operating system: "When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting to

speak whith the Lord ( Yahweh ) , he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the

atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony. And he spoke with the Lord" ( Numbers 7: 89 ).

- Moses and the Spaceships of the Gods... Messiah - His Spaceships... Secrets of the Vatican - UFO's in the Ancient

Art... Pope's star watcher to visit NASA and talk aliens... The Vatican is to go head to head with NASA over the

possibility of life existing anywhere else in the Universe except Earth:

Be very careful on what u say here
The ark is an established religious icon in Islam, Christianity and Judaism and still has future meaning in all those Abrahamic religions. Regardless of its meaning and location now, one ought to be very very careful in what they say about it. The least one can do is shush-shutup. I say this out of sincerity that noone should indulge in the wrong they are not forced to. There are religious signs which should make all believers alert these couple of days. If the ark is unveiled to museum for the wrong reasons, there will be plague and punishment from God.

~As conveyed to The US Cardinals and Bishops~



The Fourth Sign ~ The Three Hours of Darkness



The rise of the Anti-Christ who will commit the Abomination of Desolation before The Ark of The Covenant Amen!



The phrase Abomination of Desolation refers to Matthew 24:15: So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation spoken of through the prophet Daniel - let the reader understand. This Scripture is referring to Daniel 9:27, He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In 167 B.C. a Greek ruler by the name of Antiochus Epiphanies set up an altar to Zeus over the altar of burnt offerings in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. He also sacrificed a pig on the altar in the Temple in Jerusalem. This event is known as the abomination of desolation.



The Holy Eucharist is the True Presence of The Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Holy and Eucharistic Sacrifice is the Sacrifice to be. All other sacrifices not of The Holy Roman Catholic Faith is The Act of The Abomination of Desolation before God The Almighty Father in Heaven on Earth Amen! Peace
