(Conspiracy Nation, 7/5/04) -- Bill Clinton once promised a "New
Covenant with the American people." By "covenant" in other words is meant
"contract." In ancient times, "God" made a contract with the Habiru (Hebrew)
people. The deal was duly signed by "God," notarized by Moses, and archived
in a specially built "Ark."
The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is a murky document. Many people
tend to see whatever they wish to see when they read it. On the other hand,
the Bible's historical value is priceless: it gives a rare glimpse into the
ancient past. Historically, the Ten Commandments, a.k.a. The Covenant, are
the foundation of law.
According to the glimpses we get of the ancient past in the Old Testament,
the Habiru became invincible after the Ark of the Covenant became theirs.
The Ark was the pride and glory of the Jewish people. But a careful reading
of the Old Testament yields a surprise: the Ark suddenly disappears! Not
only does it disappear in the physical sense: it suddenly disappears from
even being mentioned! Where did it go?
A fascinating book by Graham Hancock seems to solve the mystery of the
disappearing Ark of the Covenant. Hancock is no crackpot channeling voices
of the reptilians for the cult of Tutankhamen. A former East Africa correspondent
for The Economist, he became interested in Ethiopian insistence that
the Ark resided there, in Ethiopia. In his book, The Sign and the Seal,
Hancock painstakingly traces what may have happened to the Ark of the Covenant.
His evidence is convincing and well-argued.
The Jewish monarch Manasseh (687 - 642 BC) rejected the ancient faith
and erected altars to Baal. He profaned the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctum
of the Jerusalem Temple, by placing a brazen image of the pagan god Asherah
therein. The Levites, guardians of the Ark, removed it from the Temple in
order to halt the blasphemy and to safeguard the relic. Concerned for the
Ark's preservation, its guardians transported it to Egypt, then up the Nile
River to Aswan. There it remained for several hundreds of years.
Later troubles in Egypt caused the Ark's guardians to remove it further
up the Nile into what is now Ethiopia. There it has remained hidden to this
day, argues Hancock.
King Solomon's Temple which housed the Ark of the Covenant was destroyed,
then rebuilt. This second Temple was itself destroyed circa 70 A.D. A third
Temple has yet to be built. Why should it be? Without the Ark to house, what
would be the purpose for a new Temple?
But were Israel to regain possession of the Ark of the Covenant, she would
be invincible (according to belief), as she was in days of old. And a third
Temple would need to be constructed.
A process of return of the Falashas, an incongruous tribe of Ethiopian
Jews, to Israel, has been underway for some time now. That process of the
repatriation of the Falashas to Israel has recently accelerated.
According to a posting by "Rosalinda" (pseudonym), at Rumor Mill News
(www.rumormillnews.com, "Eritrea and Ethiopia and Israel"), the nation of
Eritrea, bordering Ethiopia, has noticably improved her diplomatic relations
with Israel of late. This is confirmed by other sources.
As a border war between Eritrea and Ethiopia intensifies, there are rumors
floating about that Israel, through her intelligence arm, the Mossad, is
supporting Eritrea, in part by providing weapons.
In the midst of this muddle, United Nation's chief Kofi Annan is inserting
himself and his globalist agenda into the mix.
How badly must Israel desire the return of the Ark of the Covenant and
the restoration of the Temple? Does Israel want her Ark badly enough to bargain
with the Falashas for their support and to ally herself with Eritrea to hide
a covert operation, masked by an horrendous border war? Does this presumed
covert operation have as its goal the return of the pride and glory of the
Habiru, the Ark of the Covenant?
