Ethiopian Church Leader to Announce Holy-Ark Unveiling - News Briefs - Israel National News

INN reports: "Patriarch Abuna Pauolos of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has scheduled a news conference for Friday afternoon in Rome to unveil the Biblical Ark of the Covenant or make a full statement regarding it. While in Rome for meetings with Pope Benedict XVI, he told reporters that the time had come to reveal the Holy Ark before the world, adding that the holy container has been hidden in the custody of his church for hundreds of years."

Comment: This could be rather extraordinary if it happens and is proven to be the true Ark of the Covenant. If the Ark is found, can a new temple be at hand?

Jacob, thank you for your comment.

Nothing has happened so far, no news conference or announcement. I was reading an Ethiopian source that was very critical of him, apparently he is not highly thought of there, like he is a rival leader in that church, and so I'm thinking that perhaps he was grand-standing to try to impress the pope and make himself look good. It may have been a stunt on his part. I will keep watching events, but I don't think anything will come of this.
