Bible buzz begins as hunters wait to view Ten Commandments box

Ark hunters and Bible enthusiasts are buzzing about a report that the Ark of the Covenant, the ancient container that holds the Ten Commandments, is expected to be unveiled in Rome today.

As WND reported, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world the unveiling of the Ark, 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."

According to the Italian news agency, the announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m. Italian time (8 a.m. Eastern) 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."

Bob Cornuke, biblical investigator, international explorer and best-selling author, has participated in more than 27 expeditions around the world searching for lost locations described in the Bible. A man some consider a real-life Indiana Jones, he has written a book titled "Relic Quest" about the Ark of the Covenant and participated in History Channel production called "Digging for Truth."

The Philistines got sick when they captured the Ark and sent it back to Keriath-Jerim. My belief is the Ebedmelech, with permission from God, took the Ark to Ethiopia in 722 BC.............

Welllllll, I did for you . . . and came up zip.

Not sure why.

Maybe some Bible scholar hotshot can help out.

It’s a clear memory from my Sunday School days.

As well as my reading through the Bible several times in my life.

[Huck]

Keep digging!

The KJV calls them “emerods” and most modern translations euphemistically call them “tumors”. It’s in 1st Samuel 5-6.

Different spelling. Here’s this:

What the Bible says about Hemorrhoids

If you disobey the Old Testament’s laws, God will give you hemorrhoids (along with other nasty things).

The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. — Deuteronomy 28:27

God smote an entire city (Asdod) with “emerods [hemorrhoids] in their secret parts.”

the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. — 1 Samuel 5:6-7

And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 1 Samuel 5:12

Then he ordered the same city to make him five golden hemorrhoids (and five golden mice) as a “trespass offering.”

What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice ... Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods. — 1 Samuel 6:4-5

...the Ark, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia...

Wouldn't be too sure about that, pal...

That TARP and the rest of the stimulus is being held until the next elections so it can “stimulate” the economy and make the Dems look good.

TARP and the rest of the stimulus is being held until the next elections so it can “stimulate” ACORN and AmeriCorp so they can steal another election.

If I had read “emerods” I am sure I would not have recognized them as hemorrhoids.

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. ...If this is the case, how do we know which one is real?

IF you were from jolly ole England you would ‘ave no trouble understandin’ ‘emerods
