Nothing of this has been in the main news in Finland or the scandinavian area, not even had the Catholic church here heard of it

Was going you give you a star for the humor but the star clicky thing has gone, anyone know where ?
Exodus 25:10-11. "Have them make a chest of acacia wood--two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it."
In Exodus 31:1-6, Bezalel (Hebrew: בְּצַלְאֵל, also transcribed as Betzalel and most accurately as Beẓal'el), is the chief architect of the Tabernacle.[1] Elsewhere in the Bible the name occurs only in the genealogical lists of the Book of Chronicles, but according to cuneiform inscriptions a variant form of the same, "Ẓil-Bêl," was borne by a king of Gaza who was a contemporary of Hezekiah and Manasseh. Apparently it means "in the shadow [protection] of El."

You know what always struck me as Bull [snip] about the Arc being in Ethiopia? The fact that Ethiopia is such a dirt poor and jacked up country.
I mean cmon, Apparently the Arc contained the power of god within it. We are to believe that a country with the power of god has so many starving people? We are to believe that they have such an immense tool, that by the way only one dude can look into, only if he has some weird breast plate with a bunch of gemstones on it.
10Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
...
14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
...
17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

too funny
Actually - the second commandment is interesting come to think of it.
If only Moses saw him - making stuff in his image wouldn't be a big threat.
I'm beginning to think this thing was a projector or something. How on earth would people know what image to make things in... or not to - as the case may be.
We do not write G-d's name in a place where it may be discarded or erased. Treating G-d's name with reverence is a way to give respect to G-d.
The Philistines took the Ark to several places in their country, and at each place misfortune befell them (1 Sam. 5:1-6). At Ashdod it was placed in the temple of Dagon. The next morning Dagon was found prostrate, bowed down, before it; and on being restored to his place, he was on the following morning again found prostrate and broken. The people of Ashdod were smitten with tumors; a plague of rats was sent over the land (1 Sam. 6:5). The affliction of boils was also visited upon the people of Gath and of Ekron, whither the Ark was successively removed (1 Sam. 5:8-12).
