You mean, they used to have the Ark of the Covenant.

Word is that Hillary keeps it in her bathroom and polishes it with bleachbit daily.

If anyone was going to demand it back, would think it wold be Netanyahu.

I found the Ark of the New Covenant-

Couple of things:
-Nobody gets to go see the ark like its a museum piece.
-Historically only one priest got to be in its presence one day a year.
-There are replicas of the ark around Ethiopia based upon the local descriptions.
-The dimensions and makeup of the ark are in the bible. Did the remote viewer say it was gold and had two angels facing each other on the top with nothing in the middle?

---

Also been alleged over the years that people guarding the Ark show symptoms of radiation exposure.

Not sure of its importance anymore (unless you're a Jew)...since the "old" covenant has been replaced by the "new" covenant.

"I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE WAY. NO ONE comes to the Father, except through ME." John 14:6

I'm mostly impressed by the dot matrix print out.

You just don't see that everyday. And this one looks very high quality for 1988.

They "found" it "somewhere"?

LOLOLOL. You seriously can't honestly believe that "finding the ark of the covenant" is "not sure of its importance."

I thought the Ark in Ethiopia theory was more common knowledge. I remember watching a show on the history channel back when it first started talking about stories from the Bible and explaining key stories and how it could happen on earth and written the way it was as proof.

Episode I watched focused on Moses's life and then also the Ark. The investigation on the Ark led them to an island in the middle of a lake in Ethiopia.

Yes. From the very light research I've done and what I've watched apparently the people within the church go blind slowly over the years. Its known. And they still do it out of service.

It also contained two tickets to Dancing With The Stars.

Same. That Coptic church is well known and I definitely saw that same history channel thing on it a couple decades ago.

These things go through cycles. Knew about it too probably closer in time to this claimed fine -- as what recalling is one of those hardbacks you see in the `misc' almost random display section at a Walden's Books that at the time had enough photos and quotes of testimony as you flip through it you pick it up and read it.

But didn't know it had become a story `again' and with more claims --- and hence apparently this is the `cycle to the surface again' for this. The cycle phenomena doesn't mean all bogus, but it is a feature of many.

Bermuda Triangle is another example of one that cycles in attention -- especially Flight 19.

I cannot even begin to describe to you how much this terrified me the first time I saw the movie, probably at the age of 4-5. It's a core memory, I'm laying on my dad's back on the 70's shag carpet floor of my grandad's living room, loving the hell out of the movie, the whole fam watching together and the vibes couldn't be higher, and then BAM! MELTING NAZIS!!!!

I freaked the hell out.

I remember after that though, my dad, trying to calm me down and convince me it was all fake, rewound it and showed me in slow motion. He then explained that even the punches were fake in the Rocky movies. I did not believe him, so he put Rocky 4 in, fast forwarded to a fight scene and put it in slow-mo. My mind was blown lol.

Not Jewish, so not...it has no importance to me other than idle curiosity as an archeology discovery.

Hebrews 8:13

In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Ethiopia has been rumored to have the Ark since the 1200s at least.

So....sold for scrap then.

Seriously, though, if our sports teams can enter bearing it before them...this could be the turnaround we are looking for.

Get to it BMA's!!!!

You may be missing forest focused on a tree. These days anything that shows the physical reality of OT and NT places and events has value. Even in witnessing.

God will NEVER allow Himself to be proven. Doing so would destroy the necessity for "faith" in the unseen.
Of course there's always "Oak Island" for the others. Unfortunately (?) not ALL will be saved and it will be the result of their lack of faith in the unseen.

Pray those may come into the light...the way, the truth and the life!!!

Why did you go to the extreme of God allowing himself to be proven? Its the nature of reliable history for it to turn out so when it is rediscovered. The two are different things.

Ok. Hear me out. Those priests in Ethiopia are old and weak. How hard would it be to bum rush that mofo? 5 minutes tops you are in there.

Perhaps, but perhaps the endings of both Raiders of Lost Ark and The Last Crusade would prove more true than expected.

Not that I'm a Biblical scholar, but I believe that only certain men were allowed to be in physical presence with the Ark. I imagine if some Sgt. Rock character was to bum rush that mofo, he'd melt on the spot or something.

If the do ever find the Ark a US federal judge will immediately put and end to that.

We all do realize, don't we, that nothing has been found?

A grifter scamming the CIA into believing they "see" something through "remote viewing" means they have found nothing...

Sorry...I do not agree. It would be marginally interesting...but meaningless in terms of the basis of true faith.

So, on one of the Discovery or NatGeo programs they actually investigated this.

There are Jewish peoples in Ethiopia going back to just after Moses, I think? Not sure on time period.

But, the story is that a fake was kept in Jerusalem at a time when threats of invasion worried the Israelites enough to have the original moved to their Jewish brethren in Ethiopia to keep it safe.

It's just another "hypothesis" like many others, but there are reasons to give it some credence.

Most can simply Google it:

According to Jewish traveler, Eldad ha-Dani, the Tribe of Dan established their own kingdom in Ethiopia, "They went by way of Egypt further down the upper Nile River and settled in Ethiopia, in East Africa. The Danites were great warriors, and after fighting many battles against native tribes, they established themselves securely, with a kingdom of their own." Marco Polo and Benjamin of Tudela also mention the existence of an Ethiopian Jewish community.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ethiopia#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFauvelle-Aymar2013383-3][3][/url]
Christian dominance (12701855)
The earliest recorded mention of the Beta Israel comes from the Royal Chronicle of Emperor Amda Seyon, who sent troops to pacify the northwest provinces of Semien, Tselemt, Tsegede and Wegara where the Beta Israel had been gaining prominence.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ethiopia#cite_note-PankBord40-4][4][/url] He sent troops there to fight people "like Jews" (Geez : kama ayhd).[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ethiopia#cite_note-Encyc553-5][5][/url]
According to both Ethiopian written accounts and Beta Israel oral tradition, Emperor Yeshaq (14141429) began to exert religious pressure on the Beta Israel which sparked a revolt.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ethiopia#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaplan2007501-6][6][/url] Following the defeat of the rebellion, Yeshaq divided the territories of the Jews into three provinces, which were controlled by commissioners appointed by him. He reduced the Jews' social status below that of Christians[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ethiopia#cite_note-Encyc553-5][5][/url] and forced the Jews to convert or lose their land. It would be given away as rist, a type of land qualification that rendered it forever inheritable by the recipient and not transferable by the Emperor. Yeshaq decreed, "He who is baptized in the Christian religion may inherit the land of his father, otherwise let him be a Fals." This may have been the origin for the term "Falasha" (fal, "wanderer", or "landless person").[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ethiopia#cite_note-Encyc553-5][5][/url] This term is considered derogatory to Ethiopian Jews.

There was a fascinating -- and to a junior high kid at the time - somewhat persuasive flurry of "Noah Ark" reported discoveries and even photographs in the mid 1970's and about how the Turkish rule of Ararat made all that being followed up impossible. Nimoy series "In Search of" had a good one on it.

Yet even then, the `photos' given seemed to not really fit what such might be --- and it was clear that they were models. Or objects in the snow. What seemed to somewhat push it all further away - and especially now - was the periods of great easy access or even flyovers etc still not adding to this meager record. Satellites now captured a beached barge in a bay in obscure countries -- and yet nothing here.

Anyway, kind of brings back fun memories. And for all that, it has no impact on whether the Flood is believed or not. The lack of something on Ararat is no disproof.
