Last month, if you were visiting Adis Ababa in Ethiopia, you would have witnessed an astonishing sight.
Every January, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church celebrates a festival called Timkat, during which their senior priests parade through the streets of Ethiopia’s capital. They carry a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, as onlookers drop to their knees in reverence.
This obscure branch of Christianity has approximately 50 million adherents, most of whom live in Ethiopia. Aside for this sect’s curious affinity to the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish practices — evident in their observance of kosher laws, separation of the sexes in their churches, and the treatment of Saturday as Sabbath rather than Sunday — they also make the extraordinary claim that the Ark of the Covenant, Judaism’s most revered object, is in their possession — and has been for almost 3,000 years.

I have it but I am not going to show you.
Fine. Be selfish. But please tell me does the Ark contain 15 or 10 Commandments.
No. That is the book of Jesse, placed there by the angel Moroni.
You and Joseph Smith, Birds of a feather.
It could only be opened by the pure of heart, much like the Chalice.
Finally. Thank you.
Thank you.
You’re welcome. Thanks.
Ok I looked up Kohanim. Intersting
There will be no “Third Temple” because there is no further need for burnt offerings, since the death and Resurrection of Christ.
Accordingly, the Ark of the Covenant is not to be found on this earth either.
Hope you are watching the Hunt for Hitler after. Actually pretty scary when you think about the ramifications of the 4th Reich extending its tentacles throughout S. America.
Makes you wonder if they aren’t still in place trying to destroy the US. Soros was a Nazi.
No I am not, we watch it recorded... and f/f through commercials, just noticed one for that last time we watched. Will need to record that too I suppose. Thanks!
An anonymous freeper frmailed the following:
The Knights Templars...the surviving ones headed west...ended up in Novia Scotia/ Canada. Bones found on Oak Island are dated back to Middle East...around Templar times. They supposedly had that plus the Holy Grail. They were in charge of the Relics.
Only 10 Moses dropped 5.
I fart in your general direction.
[4] It was also in the writing that the prophet, having received an oracle, ordered that the tent and the ark should follow with him, and that he went out to the mountain where Moses had gone up and had seen the inheritance of God.* [5] And Jeremiah came and found a cave, and he brought there the tent and the ark and the altar of incense, and he sealed up the entrance.
[6] Some of those who followed him came up to mark the way, but could not find it. [7] When Jeremiah learned of it, he rebuked them and declared: "The place shall be unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows his mercy." (2 Maccabees 22:1-7)
* [1] And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, [2] all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, [3] the Negeb, and the Plain, that is, the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. [4] And the LORD said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there." (Deuteronomy 34:1-4)
I think it's more, "The people who know, aren't talking."
But what do I know? :-)
Interesting thing about the movie was that Indy had no effect on the outcome of the movie.

Anyone who has any interest in this topic which I think is much more important than is generally understood should read Graham Hancock's book "The Sign and the Seal".
Hancock cites and translates a handful of inscriptions describing "red haired French speaking foreigners" managing the Ark during the early Aksum period; which he identifies from other sources as Templars.
The Ethiopian text cited earlier describes the original contact between the Templars and the Ethiopian prince which occurs in Jerusalem in the period where the Templalrs were looking for the Ark in the caves below the Temple Mount.
The obvious inference is that the Ethiopian prince tells them where the Ark is and how it got there and the Templars promptly shut down their Jerusalem effort and went off to Ethiopia.
Hancock sets out some reasonable speculation based on meetings which are of record among Ethiopians and the Pope and other representatives of King Philip of France that one of the pressures on the King to terminate the Templars came from Ethiopia resulting from concern by the Ethiopians that the Templars were setting up to grab the Ark.
I have no problem with the legends that connect the Templars to the events on Oak Island--it is the kind of depository you might have thought the Templars might conceive of for money and other valuable objectives.
I think the subsequent events in Ethopia involving reconstruction of the Church Christ Mary; continued custody by the designed Ark Custodian; the annual display (not only of the copy but on some occasions the Ark itself) and other visitations lead to the view that the Ark is still there and the likely subject of the Isiah prophecy.
It should also be noted that in 1948, according to a Saturday Evening Post pictorial article, Halle Sallasi took Princes Elizabeth to see the actual Ark. I think that has been some discussion with the Queen about her memory of the event but I do not recall what that produced if anything.
Curious. Thanks.
