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 probably FELT that way!
True.
However, it is still quite probable—at least plausible that the tangible golden Ark will be in the new rebuilt Temple until the abomination of desolation.
Scripture does not clearly say that.
Could be. Not said in Scripture.
Honestly, it’s to the point that I wish somebody would take that church by force and look.
Push the old “guard” by the door out of the way and go in for crying out loud!
Not exactly difficult to find out once and for all if this church has it or just a fake or nothing at all.
They can’t unveil it yet because Whorealdo is all tied up with Michael Jackson coverage. LOL
I didn’t say “Scripturally.” I said, “To my understanding.” Big difference.
Interesting link but showed actually nothing worth watching as I do not speak or understand Italian.
They obviously did not show the Ark for all to see.
True. True.
;o]

That’s a question that should never be asked.
That was my question in Sunday School.
But I was chicken to ask it.
I believe it stated tumors.
I believe it stated tumors.
In the book of Jeremiah, you’ll notice in the list of Temple treasures taken that the ark is not listed. That’s because it was not taken. Where did it go? I don’t have the reference handy, but it was hidden beforehand.
