When the wise men (or magi) found Jesus, they bowed down and presented Him gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh [Matthew 2:11]
The three gifts had a spiritual meaning: gold as a symbol of kingship on earth, frankincense (an incense) as a symbol of deity, and myrrh (an embalming oil) as a symbol of death.
👉 Etymology: The English word Frankincense derives from the Old French expression ‘franc encens’, meaning ‘high-quality incense’. The word franc in Old French meant ‘noble, pure’. Although named frankincense, the name is not referring to the Franks.
✞ AXUM ZION = Home of The Ark of The Covenant + GOLD, FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH

✞ This week is Epiphany (Timket) , a three-day religious festival that is one of the most important events on the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo calendar.
For Western Christians, Epiphany is the day the Magi visited the baby Jesus. Most Christians in the West follow the Gregorian calendar, and the holiday is celebrated on January 6 or 7. For Eastern Orthodox Christians, Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus (rather than the visit of the Magi). Eastern churches using the Gregorian calendar (for example, most Greeks) also celebrate Epiphany on January 6 or 7. For those using the ‘Julian’ calendar (like Greek Old Calendarists and Ethiopian Orthodox), Epiphany falls on January 19.
Timkat is the Ethiopian Orthodox celebration of Epiphany. The Chapel of the Tablet in Axum houses The original Ark of the Covenant or Tabot. Tabot is taking out of the chapel during a Timkat. A priest carrying a covered Tabot on his head and parading through the streets to the pool area. Tabot is storing inside a ceremonial tent (Tabernacle) for first night.
Last week, France – alongside Germany’s FM – sent its Foreign Minister Catherine COLONNA to Ethiopia to meet the notorious ‘Black Hitler’ aka Abiy Ahmed Ali, who massacred, and is still starving to death over a million ancient Orthodox Christians of Axumite Ethiopia. Protecting the genocider – the ‘depopulation agent’ of the Edomite West and Ishamelite East. What an evil crime! Well, Everything Jinni Ahmed touches burns or dies!
🔥 The genocidal war against Axumite Ethiopians is a spiritual war on Christianity + The Ark of The Covenant + Gold + Frankincense + Myrrh & Tree of Life.
✞ Magi’s Tomb in Axum (Aksum), Ethiopia
A Magi’s Tomb may have been found in Axum (Aksum), Ethiopia. The Birth of Christ is said to have taken place in the eighth year of Emperor Bazén’s reign. The Ethiopian church teaches that Emperor Bazén was one of the Magi who visited Jesus soon after his birth. He delivered the gift of Frankincense.
Emperor Bazén (Jewish), whose name also appears as Zäbe’esi Bazén, ZäBazén Balthazar or Tazén, was the seventeenth or twenty-first ruler of the Solomonic line according to the shorter King Lists or the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth ruler of his line according to the longer King Lists.
Because papyrus and skins did not survive due to the humidity, of old it has only been oral tradition, or stone inscriptions. What we think is the Magi’s tomb, can be visited today in Axum (Aksum) as can the Boswellia grove that the frankincense most likely came from. When the Emperor returned to Axum he announced that the Messiah had been born. There are several accounts of who the Magi specifically were.
The so-called “Stone of Bazen” is now built into one of the walls of the cathedral of Maryam Tseyon at Aksum, or St. Mary of Zion. It is St. Mary of Zion where many believe the Ark of the Covenant is waiting. (Zephaniah 3:10-12: From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my worshipers, the daughter of My dispersed ones, shall bring My offering.)
In addition to the Tomb of Bazén, located to the West of the city of Axum is what is called the Tomb of Ityopis. The Book of Aksum that was kept at St. Mary of Zion church and was written in the 14th to 17th century AD with updates in the 19th century AD states that Ityopis was the great grandson of Noah.
The late Ruth Plant identified the location per archeologist Stuart Munro-Hay.
Modern day Israel confirms the great numbers of Beta Israel living in Ethiopia. Bazen ruled at a time of great Judaic influence in Aksum. Could Bazen have been one of the great Magi that was one of Daniel’s understudies? Is the Magi’s Tomb where we think it is? Join us on a Christian trip to Ethiopia and learn for yourself.
😇 The Relics of The Three Magi in the city of COLOGNE (Colonia – Catherine COLONNA)
The Shrine of the Three Kings, also known as the Tomb of the Three Kings or the Tomb of the Three Magi, is a reliquary traditionally believed to contain the bones of the Biblical Magi, also known as the Three Kings or the Three Wise Men. The shrine is a large gilded and decorated triple sarcophagus placed above and behind the high altar of Cologne Cathedral in Germany. It is considered the high point of Mosan art and the largest reliquary in the western world.
According to legend dating to the 12th century, the relics of the Magi were originally situated at Constantinople after being discovered by Saint Helen, but brought to Milan with two small cows which transported a large sarcophagus of marble by Bishop Eustorgius I of Milan in 344, to whom they were entrusted by the Emperor Constans I. Eight centuries later in 1164, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa took the relics of the Magi from the Church of Saint Eustorgio in Milan and gave them to the Archbishop of Cologne, Rainald of Dassel. The Three Kings have since attracted a constant stream of pilgrims to Cologne. A part of these relics were returned to the Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio of Milan in 1904.
Timket is a religious festival celebrated with much zeal in Addis Ababa, Gondar, and Lalibela in Ethiopia. It is also spelled as Timkat or Timqat. The festival is the Ethiopian Orthodox celebration of Epiphany and venerates Christ’s baptism in the River Jordan. Although the festival is observed by orthodox Christians all over the world, in Ethiopia it takes on a special significance as it is the most colourful event of the year in the country. The most relevant symbol of the festival is colourful embroidered umbrellas that protect the sacred Tabot and the priests carrying the Tabot.
Timket Festival Celebrations
Timket festival is celebrated to commemorate the divine ritual of the baptism of Christ in the Jordan River. The celebrations start from the eve of the festival which is on 18th January at 2 pm local time with traditional horns that herald the celebrations with colourful processions and ceremonies. The main ceremony commences with the priest solemnly carrying the Tabot which is a model of the Ark of the Covenant, reverently wrapped in rich silk cloth to the nearby stream at around 2am on 19th January. The Tabot is a representation of Jesus as the Messiah when he came to the Jordan River for baptism. The Holy Ark is immersed in the water by one priest whilst the other chants some prayers. Once the Ark is baptised, the priest then blesses the water body and sprinkles some of the blessed water on the devotees. Thereafter the Holy Ark is carried back to its church amidst lots of chanting, music, and dancing.

The Sacrament of Baptism in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church
A baby boy is baptized 40 days after he is born. A baby girl is baptized 80 days after birth. If a baby is sick and may die baptism takes place immediately.
Babies are anointed with oil to “undo the works of devils and their magic,and so become an anointing for faith in Christ.”
Babies are baptized naked because, “undressing the child reminds us of the nakedness of Adam and Eve when they obeyed satan and disobeyed the commandment of God, so they were put to shame before Him and hid from Him when they realized their nakedness. Such is what sin and satan do to human beings, they strip them from all virtues and the protection of grace, and hence put them to shame before others.”
Do you remember the so-called, “Ice Bucket” Challenge satanic ritual which went viral last year? May be you were baptized then in the name of Satan?
The enemy has come into our countries through the back door with what seems like a good work and a good cause but it is only on the surface. As you dig a little deeper and take the time to research, you will see that what I am saying is true. This is a type of sacrifice. It is a type of satanic sacrifice. All these human embryos are being sacrificed. A type of cannibalism is occurring because this craze and this phenomena is causing people to give into this one fund and neglecting other good and noble foundations that have have better causes and more moral ones. There is definitely a spirit behind this cause and it is not the Holy Spirit. God would never endorse such a fundraiser that supports using human embryos for research. It is abortion, plain and simple. To all those who have already participated, there is no condemnation, but there is a plea from the heart of God to pray, seek his face and ask forgiveness.
