Brace up for the revelation of the millennium. The much coveted Ark of the Covenant is to be revealed to the world on 26th, June, 2009 (1 PM UTC) by an Ethiopian church leader. The ark of Covenant has been hidden from the normal public view since last 1000 years.
Historically the covenant of the Ark contained the original tablets given to Moses by GOD. Israelite believed it to have great powers that could defeat the enemies. It was carried around by the Israelite in the wars and almost all the times the enemy was defeated.
The building of the Ark of the Covenant – also known as the Ark of Testimony in accordance with Divine instructions is recounted in the Book of Exodus. It was placed first in the Tabernacle in Shilo, and centuries later in the Holy Temple built by King Solomon. Since then, its whereabouts have been unknown, though one popular legend says it was brought to Ethiopia.
The claim that the Biblical Holy Ark has been kept at the Church, in the city of Axum, is an old one, but this is the first time that the Church plans to actually reveal the actual container, or news of it. It is not known whether the Church claims that the actual Tablets of the Law are inside it.
Copies of the alleged Ark are kept in many other churches in Ethiopia.
So let’s wait and see what happens.
