The Ark of
Covenant Can Destroy An Entire Planet & Everything on It.
Devastating footage has
emerged from the East Arsi Zone of Ethiopia's Oromia region,
confirming the destruction of the historic 101-year-old Telata St.
Gabriel Church.
Reports from local human
rights trackers and religious leaders indicate that a mob prepared
and fueled the blaze before setting the sacred building on fire in
broad daylight.
According to local church
leadership and human rights tracking, a series of coordinated
assaults beginning on May 31 have claimed the lives of an estimated
40 to 53 Christian farmers farmers dead and
forced hundreds of families to flee into nearby forests. The attacks
reportedly targeted ancestral farming communities of the Ethiopian
Orthodox Tewahedo Church, resulting in severe casualties, mass
displacement, and the burning of the historic 101-year-old Telata St.
Gabriel Church.
His Holiness Abune Mathias
I, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, has issued an
urgent appeal for federal and regional authorities to intervene, halt
the violence, and bring those responsible to justice.
♰ Let us keep the
victims, displaced families, and all affected communities in our
thoughts and prayers. 🙏
👹 The
Anti-Christian and Anti-Ethiopian Conspiracy: Israel after The Flesh
(Hagarites + Ishmaelites + Edomites) vs ✞
Israel after The Spirit (Jacobite Christians)
* The Deadliest country no one wants to report truthfully about is
Ethiopia.
*
The heathen Gallas/ Oromos have been waging a genocidal Jihad against
Ethiopian Christians since their Ottoman Turkey and Lutheran
Protestant conspired migration into Ethiopia in the 16th
Century.
Since the beginning of the genocidal Jihad in the Northern Ethiopian
regions of Tigray, Amhara and Afar in November 2020 till today:
❖ 1.5 Million Orthodox
Christians were brutally Massacred
❖ 200.000 Orthodox
Christian Women, children and nuns were Raped and abused
❖ Over a Million
Ethiopians were forced to migrate to other countries
❖ 4.4 million
internally displaced people severely impacted by conflict,
hostilities and climate shocks
❖ Over a Million female
Ethiopian slaves sold to Arab countries
❖ 20 million Ethiopian
forced to experience food insecurity
by
the UAE funded and armed terrorist and fascist Oromo Islamic army of
the Nobel Peace Laureate genocidal Prime
Minster, Abiy Ahmed Ali and his UN, Arab, Israeli, Turkish, Iranian,
European, American, Russian, Ukrainian and
African allies.
Diplomatic staff in Tel Aviv and members of Israel’s Knesset have
voiced concerns about the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC)
and its perceived lack of commitment to addressing the longstanding
issues surrounding the Deir es-Sultan Monastery in Jerusalem.
The EOTC oversees several religious sites in the Holy Land, including
locations in Jerusalem and surrounding areas under both Israeli and
Palestinian administration, many of which are situated in areas of
significant religious importance.
However, Deir es-Sultan is particularly noteworthy due to its
historical significance. Ethiopia claims ownership of this site in
the Old City of Jerusalem, a claim that dates back nearly three
millennia to the time of King Solomon.
Monks, monastery leaders, and local tour guides emphasize that the
monastery—perched atop the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at
Golgotha, the site of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and near his
resurrection—serves as a major destination for pilgrims and
tourists.
Scholars highlight that the Ethiopian presence in Jerusalem has faced
challenges in the modern era, especially during the “Era of the
Princes,” a century characterized by decentralized rule that lasted
until Emperor Tewodros II unified power in 1855.
During this period, Ethiopian monks and nuns encountered repeated
attempts by Egyptian Copts to gain control of the site, which
Ethiopia asserts has been under its stewardship since the time of the
biblical Queen of Sheba.
Ethiopia maintains that the location served as the encampment for
Makida, the Queen of Sheba’s retinue, during her visit to King
Solomon.
It was later recognized as an Ethiopian site and eventually
transformed into a monastery of what became the state church—the
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Ethiopian Ambassador to Israel Tesfaye Yetayew explained that despite
historical evidence supporting Ethiopia’s claim to the site for
3,000 years, the dispute remains unresolved. He noted that the
conflict escalated in the modern era, particularly as Ethiopia’s
central government weakened due to internal power struggles.
While the EOTC manages around seven monasteries and churches in
Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and near Jericho’s River Jordan, the
contested monastery at Golgotha remains the most sensitive issue.
Tesfaye pointed out that Israel enforces a law known as the “Status
Quo,” established during the Ottoman period, which regulates
relations among religious communities at holy sites.
“Although the monastery is administered by the EOTC, there are
competing interests, and the Israeli administration prefers to
maintain the Ottoman-era status quo,” he stated. The Ottoman Empire
was the last long-standing governing authority in the region before
the British Mandate took control after World War I.
“Currently, Ethiopia holds services at two churches within the
complex—Holy Saviour and St. Michael—but undertaking renovations
or obtaining basic municipal services like water and electricity is
challenging under the Status Quo. Ethiopia does not possess a formal
title deed due to this arrangement,” Tesfaye told journalists in
Tel Aviv.
He noted a recent improvement: a house that was damaged by a fallen
tree has been repaired. “During his visit to Israel in March,
Foreign Minister Gedion Timotheos visited the monastery and spoke
with the monks, who described their harsh living conditions. Our
Foreign Minister raised the issue with his Israeli counterpart,
Gideon Sa’ar, which led to the repair,” the Ambassador added.
“This case has persisted for nearly three centuries, but we remain
hopeful for gradual progress,” he added.
He also highlighted the vibrancy and impressiveness of Ethiopian
religious ceremonies and holiday events in Jerusalem, which should
prompt authorities to offer better support to the monks. However, he
expressed disappointment that the leadership of the Ethiopian
Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) is not pursuing the matter with
sufficient urgency.
A recent opportunity arose when Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar
visited Addis Ababa. “The Israeli Foreign Minister met with the
EOTC Synod, but the church leadership did not raise the issue,”
Tesfaye stated.
Nonetheless, he assured that the Ethiopian diplomatic mission is
actively working to safeguard Ethiopia’s interests regarding the
monastery.
Knesset Member Tsega Melaku emphasized that Ethiopia is the only
Sub-Saharan African country with religious property in Israel. “We
have done our utmost to support the Ethiopian church in its dispute
with the Egyptian Copts over Deir es-Sultan,” she said.
“I remember working with former MK Shlomo Molla to improve the
lives of the monks, but they have faced challenges as well,” Tsega,
who emigrated from Ethiopia to Israel at age 16, remarked during a
press conference with Ethiopian journalists in Jerusalem last month.
“We persuaded the relevant Israeli authorities to assist the
Ethiopian monastery, but progress has been slow, partly due to the
frequent changes in monastery leadership and the fact that some
leaders are abroad for months at a time. We were—and remain—eager
to support them,” she explained.
Melake Selam Gebrekidan Ejegu, treasurer of Deir es-Sultan Monastery,
told Capital that the prolonged conflict has left the church feeling
frustrated.
“From the Patriarch down, the EOTC leadership has repeatedly
engaged with the Israeli government, but there has been no
improvement for 240 years. It is now clear that this issue cannot be
resolved by the Synod alone; it requires direct
government-to-government intervention,” he stated.
“When problems arise, the Synod does not seek to involve the
Israeli administration directly. Instead, they prefer the Ethiopian
government to take the lead in discussions,” Melake Selam added.
Currently, more than twenty monks and nuns reside at the monastery.
“Our urgent request is for the Ethiopian government to negotiate
with Israeli authorities to renovate the monastery, which is in a
serious state of disrepair,” he appealed.
MK Pnina Tameno, who shares Ethiopian-Jewish heritage with Tsega,
emphasized the deep historical ties between Ethiopia and Israel,
which should continue to strengthen socially, culturally, and
politically.
“We are working on this, and we must continue to do so,” she
stated during a press conference at the Knesset on November 19,
referring to the Israeli government and lawmakers’ role in
fostering bilateral relations.
The Ethiopian Deir es-Sultan Monastery is particularly appealing to
tourists interested in early Christian history, Ethiopian Orthodox
tradition, and unique cultural heritage sites.
It represents a centuries-old African presence atop one of
Christianity’s holiest sites—the Church of the Holy Sepulchre—and
embodies Ethiopian historical claims, legends of Solomon and Sheba,
and a distinct rooftop community deeply connected to the crucifixion
and resurrection of Jesus. Its story provides a unique narrative that
is often overlooked by mainstream tourism.
The “Status Quo” regulation, formalized by Ottoman authorities in
1863 concerning Deir es-Sultan, stipulates that no physical or
administrative changes may be made to the site without government
approval. It was intended to prevent recurring disputes, particularly
between the Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox churches, over possession
and rights.
✞ Romanians
flock to a new cathedral that is the world´s largest Orthodox church
after 15 Years of Construction.
Thousands of
pilgrims turned out Sunday in Romania´s capital for the consecration
of religious paintings inside the world´s largest Christian Orthodox
church that was being opened after 15 years of construction.
Worshippers and
officials arrived in droves at the People´s Salvation Cathedral,
known as the National Cathedral, which at its highest point stands
more than 125 meters (410 feet) and has an inner capacity for 5,000
worshippers in the deeply Orthodox country. The cathedral's opulent
interior is covered with frescoes and mosaics depicting saints and
icons.
Proposals for a
national cathedral in the country of about 19 million people had been
put forward for more than a century, but its fruition was hampered by
two world wars and the decades of communist rule, which sought to
suppress religion. The Romanian Orthodox Church has called the
cathedral "a symbol of national identity."
Romania is one
of the most pious countries in the European Union, with around 85% of
the population identifying as religious.
Situated behind
the hulking Palace of the People built by the late communist leader
Nicolae Ceausescu, construction for the cathedral finally began in
2010, and its altar was consecrated in 2018. It has so far cost a
reported 270 million euros ($313 million), with a majority drawn from
public funds, and some works are yet to be completed.
Traffic was
restricted for Sunday´s service, which was attended by President
Nicusor Dan and Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. Many worshippers watched
via TV screens set up outside the cathedral.
The cathedral´s
mosaics and iconography cover an area of 17,800 square meters
(191,000 square feet), according the cathedral´s website.
Daniel
Codrescu, who has spent seven years working on the frescoes and
mosaics, told The Associated Press that much of the iconography has
been inspired by medieval Romanian paintings and others from the
Byzantine world.
"It was a
complex collaboration with the church, with art historians, with
artists, also our friends of contemporary art," he said. "I
hope (the church) is going to have a very important impact on society
because ... it´s a public space."
With one of the
largest budget deficits in the EU, not everyone in Romania was happy
about the cost of the project. Critics bemoan that the massive church
has drawn on public funds, which could have been spent on schools or
hospitals.
Claudiu Tufis,
an associate professor of political science at the University of
Bucharest, said the project was a "waste of public money"
but said it could offer a "boost to national pride and identity"
for some Romanians.
"The fact
that they have forced, year after year, politicians to pay for it, in
some cases taking money from communities that really needed that
money, indicates it was a show of force, not one of humility and love
of God," he said. "Economically, it might be OK in the long
term as it will be a tourist attraction."
Rares
Ghiorghies, 37, supports the church but said the money would be
better spent on health and education as "a matter of good
governance."
"The big
problem in society is that most of those who criticize do not follow
the activities of the church," he said.
😇 Glory
to God!
