'Ark of the Covenant' about to be unveiled (Friday June 26th at 2p.m Italian time)

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.

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

Oh. Just wondering which gods and things you worshipped.
“Jehovah” was also the name given to the golden calf by the Hebrews who worshipped it.
You have many names and titles for yourself, as well! Very kingly.
Oh well. De gustibus non est disputandum.

Are you just as rude and arrogant towards those who
worship the Queen of Heaven or the "Mother" of God ?
Do you display your superciliousness in discussions with
those who worship icons and statues ?
Jehovah was not used by Aaron to describe the Golden Calf.
The Tetragrammaton is in the text.
Rabbis vocalize Adonai for YHvH.

May you one day call upon the NAME Yah'shua for your salvation.

Have a pleasant journey on the wide road of life.

Dank Gott ist vas der Ark auf der Kovenant. Up heah, this time of yeah, we get many weird marine survey requests from folks from away wanting us to check out really, really old wooden boats. I was already checking out Gopher Wood specs when I found my glasses and was able to complete reading your post.

No need to survey that particular Ark. I already know what's inside and I'm afraid to look.

[Uri’el-2012]

I grew up in a Roman-Catholic Quebecois town and I know my catechisms, general passages, and Doctrine in Latin, French, and in the v. King James.

I attended an Anglican boarding school and took services daily (6x/wk) for six years.

I am, however, a Jew. A Hebe. A hook-nose, as they say. A Red Sea Pedestrian. Snipped and Bar-Mitzvah. I make Minyan.

Never in my life, however, of all the things I’ve known, have I known such horse’s asses as certain “messianic jews”, who partially and without serious and studious knowledge, appropriate and broadcast with great amplification words and language - Holy words, Holy language from Judaism and Christendom - they only partially understand, in order, ostensibly, to mark themselves anointed.

You epitomize “Holier than Thou,” as you worship here and there and invoke names as you will, and, as such, you epitomize danger of mortal sin.

To quote a more modern philosopher:

Eat My Shorts.

To Wit:

You Suck.

Have a wonderful journey.

How was Africa inaccessible?

[muawiyah]

Hmmm, ? Interesting question ~ so how was it that Africa was, for the most part, inaccessible up until modern times.

Well, for one thing the continent has an escarpment most of the way around rising up from a narrow shoreline ~ or, in some places, large swamp.

What that means is you can't just sail a boat to the interior. First you must navigate or go around the rapids ~ and they're not just rapids, but big rapids.

Then there's this enormous desert in the North ~ the Sahara.

Finally, there were already people there who were warlike and suspicious of strangers.

You can read all about it on the internet. I'd start with "Stanley"

[nufsed]

You have to decide whther someone wanted to access it or if it was actually inaccessible. I chose the former. When outsiders wanted to access it, it was accessed.

[muawiyah]

When "outsiders" wanted to access Africa they usually showed up with a very large entourage of armed men and then hired the servants of an important and respected tribe in the region to carry their baggage.

For an individual it would most likely have been impossible to sail/paddle/row up the Zambesi rapids in, let's say, 1400, and live long once you got there.
