Yesterday, millions were waiting to watch eagerly the Ark of the Covenant revealed. A day passed but it was not made public. “No, the ark is not going to be revealed. Nobody could touch it. If you do so, God will smite you.” Abune Paulos Aba Gebremedhin said.
Paulos puts the blame on the Adnkronos journal, which originally posted the news, and rectification later on.
“…I am here to say what I saw, what I know and I can testify. I did not say that the Ark will be shown to the world.” Paulos is quoted to say on Adnkronos web site site.
Paulos also talked of building a museum in Axum, a structure that will receive and retain the treasures built for centuries and centuries to Axum, the news posted on Adnkronos site revealed.
The museum, funded by the foundation of the prince and that should be built within two years, could also be placed the Ark of the Covenant, but this needs to be decided by the Holy Synod, the supreme body of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia, according to Aba Gebremedhin.

It is apparent why this man chose to create this fiasco in the first place. I believe it is rooted in 2 recent crises that has threatened his rule of the church and the atheist tribal regime that appointed him.
Cause #1: The state of Woyane’s regime: A dying regime ripping in its death bed has been known to be the most barbaric dictatorship even by African standard. The final death march heralded by economic standstill, a humiliating defeat in Somalia, internal defection threatening to implode the fake union of its party, the intensified opposition parties, the vanquishing of foreign reserve, the Obama election, the global recession, the disappearance of Diaspora dollars, the 2010 election making Ethiopia the next Iran all add up to the most desperate period of this evil regime.
Seeking to find money where previous rescue were delivered via the unlikely partners Sheik Ala Amoudi and Aba Paulos, today neither parties can deliver the same nor protect their own interest. Earlier investigation ordered by Azeb Mesfin herself into the church treasure and of Mahebere Kidusan turned out all moneys of both entities were stashed away only in individual names and the Woyane regime was left bitterly without these resources. At this point Aba Paulos was forced to take over the lavish high rise built by Mahebere Kidusan in Addis Ababa and exile its top leaders of the organization outside the country where they are now busy condemning Aba Paulos with hope of getting a new lease with the power contenders. See http://deje-selam.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post_8166.html
Cause #2: Power struggle within the Synod to unseat Aba Paulos. Most recently the news of the dethroning of Aba Paulos from the patriarchal duty is indeed a true development. Aba Paulos has been stripped of all his power except to give a religious service. An Ad hoc committee consisting of 7 archbishops is now in charge of the Synod. Apparently the rebellion was orchestrated by Aba Samuel Tekeste who is a native of Wolkait and believed to be a family member of of Azeb Mesfin. Ever since that time (4 weeks) he is relegate to simple church duties by decree of the Synod and further ordered not to engage in any administrative functions except religious services, (as if anyone is left in Ethiopia seeking blessing from this man). In return the decision of the Synod has created the most explosive power struggle ever to be witnessed in the history of the church. Deje Selam web site owned by Mahebere Kidusan has further elaborated on the unfolding crisis inside the Synod, they seem to have inside source than the rest of us: http://deje-selam.blogspot.com/
Last week the power of the patriarch versus the 7 archbishops came to head when Aba Paulos decided to accept the official invitation of the Roman Pope representing the Orthodox Church and traveled to Italy. Before the dust even settled about his travel, he staged this bizarre media stunt about the Ark of the Covenant to show who really is in control of the church. It is made from start to finish for internal consumption about a pending 12 month ruthless campaign between Azeb Mesfin Vs the Adwa camp led by Aba Paulos to finally determine who will hold the absolute power in the only remaining viable institution in Ethiopia. In the meantime Woyane’s true virtue desecrating any thing Ethiopia by any means necessary; to ultimately hold power for a purpose of looting and pillaging will continue to such time when they all vanquish in un-mark graveyard where you and I will walk on.
Long Live Ethiopia, Amen.

It is my opinion that the ark of the covenant will not harm you, It was a container for the presence of God and a place where the High priest would go to meet with Gods presence. In Acts we see that Gods’ Holy spirit was poured out onto the earth and those who Ask our Lord Jesus for forgiveness and recieve the holy spirit into their lives become a dwelling place for the spirit of God, We are now His temple, His “Ark of the covenant” if you will… Gods presence has no need to be in the ark anymore and is (in my opinion) just a beautiful vessel that hold beautiful remnants of an old covenant.
