The Ethiopian Church’s connection to the Ark of the Covenant further enriches its apocalyptic narrative. Believed to be housed in the Church of St. Mary of Zion in Axum, the Ark is seen as a symbol of God’s enduring presence and covenant with His people. Ethiopian tradition holds that the Ark will play a pivotal role in the end times, serving as a sign of God’s faithfulness and a catalyst for the events leading to Christ’s return.
