Axum (or Aksum), Ethiopia
I am sure that the Ark of the Covenant is our rallying point to escape the End of Days. It is located within the Ethiopian highlands in the town of Axum (Aksum). I will be there from sometime in 2006 plus anyone who wants to come.

There
are 2 reasons why I think Axum is the place to be. One is that the obvious
place to go for safety is a mountainous area. The Ethiopian highlands
is a very large mountainous region that will give us good protection
from tsunami and huge winds.
The other reason is that the Ark of the Covenant is at Axum and the
Ark is an obvious thing to gather around at a time of exodus. If you
consider what is said in Isaiah (2.2) "In the last days the
mountain of the Lord's Temple will be established as chief among the
mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations shall
stream to it." - this specifically says "in the last days"
and also the "mountain of the Lord's Temple" must mean St
Mary's Church Axum since there is no other building containing the Ark
and none of the previous Temples was on a mountain.
There is a similar statement in the Essene
Book of Revelation. 'Lo,
the mountain of the Lord's house is established in the top of the mountains,
And is exalted above the hills; and all people shall flow to it.
Come,
and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of God;
And
he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
For
out of the Holy Brotherhood shall go forth the Law. Behold,
the Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and
they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be
their God.' This says we should go into the mountains where the
Ark is.
The best way to get there is to fly. First fly to Addis Abeba and from there it is possible to get a small plane up to Axum. You will need a visa to enter Ethiopia.

Ethiopia has its own calendar which is roughly 7 years behind ours. So the new millennium in Ethiopia starts on Meskerem 1, 2001. The equivalent Gregorian date will be 11th September 2008.
