I'm wondering if it will be on the news around the world. What will be Israel's reaction be along with the rest of the religious world?
Holy Ark Announcement Due on Friday
by Hillel Fendel
(IsraelNN.com) Ethiopian church leader says Friday, June 26, marks the right time to unveil the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, which he says has been hidden in his church for centuries.
Abuna Pauolos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, was in Rome this week to meet with Pope Benedict XVI. While there, he told reporters that the time had come to reveal before the world the Holy Ark. He said that the holy container has been in the custody of his church for hundreds of years.
Paulous said he would make the full announcement this Friday, June 26, 2 PM local time (3 PM Israel time, 8 AM New York time) at a press conference in Rome.
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.
The news of the impending announcement was first reported by the Italian news agency Adnkronos. Pauolos told the news outlet, "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 G-d delivered to Moses, and the center of searches and studies for centuries."
Pauolos said "The Ark of the Covenant has been in Ethiopia for many centuries. As Patriarch, I have seen it with my own eyes, and only a few, highly-qualified persons could do the same - until now."
Back to Earth
Stuart Munro-Hay, author of “Quest for the Ark of the Covenant: The True History of the Tablets of Moses,” concluded that the object in question is definitely not the original Holy Ark.
The building of the Ark of the Covenant – also known as the Ark of Testimony and the Ark of G-d’s Covenant – in accordance with Divine instructions is recounted in the Book of Exodus. The Ark held the Tablets of the Law, and traveled with the People of Israel, leading the way into the Promised Land. 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. Alternatively, it could be under the Temple Mount, in a cave at Mt. Nevo in Jordan, in the Vatican, a hideaway in Utah, or elsewhere. |

I'm very interested. Even if it's not the "original" or "Real" ark of the Covenant, it still has some historical implications. Even if 1000 years ago, it was used as a ruze to hide the real arc, it has a fascinating story behind it and is still a great piece of history...aka the Shroud of Turin. |

If the Ethiopian govt allows for anyone to touch it and take samples for the age of this Ark it would be interesting to find out how old it is. |

I once heard there was a hole in the wall of the great pyramid that looked to be the size of the Arc. Wonder if it's a key to the ignition.....
Curious to swab the inside and see if there is any DNA.... |

Also finding it kind of spooky that something involving the Ark and the Vatican is being swept under the media carpet.
Very strange that something as huge as this is tomorrow and not even a mention in any newspapers or TV. |

I hope its something good instead of bad. I hope they are not expecting the end of days and want the few who survive to remeber the revealing of the Arc and carry religion on.

I have a great feeling of guarded enthusiasm.
If this is true, and the Ark of the Covenant is revealed tomorrow, it will be the most profound event in Christianity since the crucifixion of Christ.
Considering how huge this revelation would be makes me have some doubts that it is true. Because if it is true, then I think it is a huge sign that we are indeed nearing the end days.
If true, then this is not only the biggest story in 2000 years, but also will beg the question... "why now?" Why, after being hidden and protected for so long, is the Ark now being revealed to the world?
If this is a hoax, I do not understand the motivations for it. Is this another 'trick' on gullible 'conspiracy theorists' like Operation Blackjack? But the difference here is the source of the information; an Ethiopian church Patriarch has said that he has seen the Ark and will personally be part of the revealing. So, the likelihood of an outright hoax seems small.
The old saying of, "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" comes to mind. I very much want this to be true and to witness the Ark of Moses which contains the Laws of God as written on stone by the hand of God. It would be one of the greatest days in human history; therefore, I have deep concerns it will, one way or another, prove untrue.

ahh the suspense, the thrill.......
the moment arrives, all hold their breathe in anticipation and,slowly, very slowly,the ark is revealed, the mistery of millenia there for all to behold .
To the amasement of all there there is an inscription, what can it be? some long lost wisdom? a prophecy perhaps?
As the lights focus on it and the press get ready with their flashes it becomes more visible in the artificial light ...
there it is, and it says ,in bold clear writing
