Ark of the Covenant' about to be unveiled?

[Malsua]

Very interesting.

Who hasn't wanted to find the Ark after watching Raiders of the lost ark?

The Mooslimb prophecy at the bottom is also very interesting. If the ark is revealed and the Imam at the bottom of the well(Mahdi) doesn't appear, what does that say about the Religion of the false moon god?

Ark of the Covenant as depicted in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (Paramount Pictures)

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 Pauolos, 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.

Somebody touch it.

Love that! Thx Toad. Sometimes the simplest remarks are the best.

Very interesting story,
I saw it emerging over the weekend.

However, the best story I've ever heard about the location of the Ark was from Ron Wyatt.

He stated that he found it in Israel under the Temple Mount in Zedekiah's Cave directly under Golgotha the hill where Jesus was crucified.

When the earth split open at His death His blood fell upon the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. Supposedly Ron Wyatt gathered samples of the residual blood and had it analyzed.

The Blood was Alive!

Each cell contained only 24 chromosomes compared to the normal human count of 46.

Christ received 23 chromosomes from Mary, and one y chromosome from His heavenly Father to designate a male child.

Isn't there some mythology about this thing being "revealed" and something bad happening?

Maybe I'm confusion fiction with... umm fiction?

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

First in the Jones series.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082971/

Jones is pitted against Nazi's who are also seeking the Ark. (spoiler) The Nazi guys disintegrate when they open the Ark.

I bought the DVD set a while back. Love those movies. Saw em years ago as a wee tot.

[American Patriot]

No...

No the Indiana Jones saga. Something I read a very long time ago, in a different time and place perhaps.

I can't remember and my Sanskrit is somewhat rusty now.

Well, the Moo prophecy holds that when the Ark is discovered, the ole soggy Madhi who disappeared down a well was about to return. I think frankly someone was channeling the movie "The ring".

[Phil Fiord]

um.... What if all the mythology is true and this is just another boulder in our demise as people?

[Malsua]

um.... What if all the mythology is true and this is just another boulder in our demise as people?

Then I won't have to worry about paying off the car I just purchased.

If Jesus returns, I'll be quite happy. The evil in the world will about to be vanquished. Somehow I don't think it's going to happen that way.

[Luke]

I have never been one to mock anyones beliefs, but this is too good a setup to pass.

I call bullshit on the Moo prophecy!

[Phil Fiord]

Seriously though. It does seem interesting that the Ark might actually be revealed, however in light of Luke calling bullshit on the Moo prophecy, i give you a cow.

[Malsua]

That's a fun cow. I'll print it out and let my Niece put it together.

[Malsua]

oops, wrong thread

says June 26th....guess we will see

Abuna Pauolos, the leader of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, has revealed that the Biblical Ark of the Covenant has been hidden in his church for centuries - but he plans to unveil it.

Pauolos met with Pope Benedict XVI in Rome, Italy, this week when he told reporters that June 26 is the right time to reveal the Holy Ark to the whole world.

The church leader told news reporters: "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 Ark is also believed to be a representation of God's (JHVH, YAH) throne. The top of the Ark has two mighty angels (Cherubim) that cover the throne of God known as the "Mercy Seat" See illustrations here.

From the Bible:

Eze 28:14 You were the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

These scriptures speak about Lucifer (Satan) as the anointed Cherub angel that covered. This is very interesting.

The Cherub angel that covers, is reference to the two Cherubim angels that covers the mercy seat or throne of God. When God gave Mose the instruction on building the ark of the Covenant, he told him to place two cherubim angels on top. In between those two angles was the mercy seat. We can surmise that the other Angel, the one that still covers, is Michael.

Exo 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubim's of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

Exo 25:19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim's on the two ends thereof.

Exo 25:20 And the cherubim's shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim's be.

[American Patriot]

So it's way past the end of the day over there... did they reveal anything?

(As I type this it's past 8 PM at night, perhaps later.)

[Phil Fiord]

Seems that even if the Ark were revealed, Jackson's death would overshadow such reporting. It was a bad day for him to die with so much going on all over. Ie: Cap and Trade
