What happened to the other comments for this article? I had many comments on this particular article and now they are gone. It is obvious that the Ethiopian Church is the Church in Old Jerusalem that was established by the apostles. When will they Ethiopian Church stand up in pride through the HOLY SPIRIT of YHWH and teach African people about their true Ethiopian Hebrew Israelite heritage? People profess to be Ethiopian scholars but then they are ignorant to the fact that the Bible itself is ancient Ethiopian history. Every Ethiopian scholar better know that the lands mentioned in Genesis 2:11-14 belonged to Ethiopians and are the same lands in Genesis 15:18 in which Abrahan the Ethiopian inherited from YHWH (GOD). These Ethiopian scholars better also know that Eber the father of the so called Hebrews married ‘Azûrâd, the daughter of Nebrod which is the Greek name for Nimrod the Ethiopian ==> Genesis 10:8. So as you can see the mother of the Hebrews was an Ethiopian and the Israelites of the Bible itself were Ethiopians. People tend to profess to be scholars yet they fail to teach the TRUTH.

[...] Above: “From the 16th to the middle of the 19th centuries, virtually the whole of the Middle East was under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire. When one of the Zagwe kings in Ethiopia, King Lalibela (1190-1225), had trouble maintaining unhampered contacts with the [Ethiopian] monks in Jerusalem, he decided to build a new Jerusalem in his land. In the process he left behind one of the true architectural wonders known as the Rock-hewn Churches ofLalibela.” (From Tadias archives: History of Ethiopian Church Presence in Jerusalem). [...]

In every stage of human history there are always ups and downs, but we should appreciate the reality of our monks and nuns who devoted their life for their faith throughout history of Ethiopian Christianity. It is known that the Ethiopians do not have any interest in Jerusalem other than spiritual reasons. It is because of the deep respect and believe in getting a blessing that they made all the sacrifices. we should all do our part, support and thank them for their effort in anyways we can. I would like to thank Dr. Negussay for doing his part.

Thanks Dr.

This is a great piece of research paper. It is amazing to see a scholar with a thorough understanding of the tremendous sacrifice made by Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Monks for the last 2000 years as well as its significance to the Black African in particular, and the whole mankind at large.

I can’t wait to see more such article from you Dr.

Regards,
Samuel
