Ethiopia was one of the first Christian Kingdoms on earth.
According to one of the Ethiopian Church’s Holy Books, the Kebra Nagast, Sheba was from Ethiopia, and her son by King Solomon, Menelek, brought the Ark of the Covenant to Axum, the capital city.
Many people believe the Ark resides in the Church of St. Mary in Axum today and so do I.
Ethiopia has a group of black Jews there, the Falashas, who practice a form of Judaism arrested in time from the days of the evil King Manasseh. Its is believed they are the descendants of Jewish high priests who fled there to escape him.
But today, Ethiopia, like Nigeria and western Europe, is threatened by the blasted dark obscenity of international Islam. A dire fate after years of Soviet supported tyranny under a monstrous dictator Mengistu, who murdered the last Christian King of Ethiopia Halie Selassie, a descendant of Menelik.
Thanks for that — as I read on wikipedia, Falasha is actually a term of disrespect meaning outcastes. They call themselves Beta Israel. But a fascinating story — thank you for bringing it up
