Where is the Ark of the Covenant?

A group of Torah-believing Christians in Arum, Ethiopia say that the Ark of the Covenant is safely held in their town where it has been guarded by a succession of individual virgin monks since the time of Solomon, who was King of Israel ca 973 - ca 933 BCE.

The Kings of Ethiopia all the way up to the last, Haile Selassie, claimed descent from Menelek, the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The legend is that when Menelek went to Judah to visit his father, he returned with several prominent Israelites who secretly brought the Ark with them. When Menelek discovered that the Ark was in Ethiopia and that God had not struck him dead, he decided that God wanted him to protect it.

Torah-believing Christians use the first five books of the Bible (the Torah) as their primary scriptures and have a strongly Old Testament based theology. They view Jesus as the Messiah and follow the Old Testament dietary rules.

Bible Printer's Errors: Printer's Bible

Some copies, but not all, of The Printer's Bible, published in 1612, contain a strange typographical error.

What it said:
"Printers have persecuted me without a cause..." Psalm 119:161

What it should have said:
"Princes have persecuted me without a cause..." Psalm 119:161

Messianic Prophecies from the Bible: A Prophecy Not Yet Fulfilled

The Old Testament Prophecy:

”And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.” Isaiah 27:13

The New Testament Prophecy:

”And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:31

This is a case of a prophecy yet to be fulfilled.

Book Comment: The New Bible Cure for Diabetes

The New Bible Cure for Diabetes (2009), by Dr. Don Colbert, has seen at least four printings (1979, 1980, 1982, and 2009). The book is written from a scientific perspective with Bible verses interspersed for encouragement and advice.

Dr. Colbert explains exactly what diabetes is and describes its symptoms and long term complications. There is a detailed explanation of the glycemic index and a discussion of the physiology of fats and fibers. The doctor details a four-pronged attack on the disease; physical activity, weight loss, nutrients and supplements, and spiritual and emotional strength. He presents a step-by-step plan for battling the disease.

Dr. Colbert has written numerous Bible Cure books, each about a different illness: cancer, back pain, allergies, memory loss, irritable bowel syndrome, skin disorders, headaches, and others.
