  • This is my third conversation about universal history with Richard Rohlin, philologist and co-host of the Amon Sûl podcast. We are very excited to discuss Ethiopia and its unique role in the universal history. We draw a lot on Scripture: the Queen of Sheba, Moses' Ethiopian wife and the Ethiopian eunuch mentioned in Acts. This topic is all about the symbolism of the margins, encountering the stranger and the flip that can happen at the end of something. Also relevant is the role of the feminine and in particular the foreign woman.
    Stay tuned for our follow-up talk where we will see the role of Ethiopia in medieval universal history and its connections with Alexander the Great.

    Please pray for our country, the government elites are trying to separate Tigray region from Ethiopia. Tigray and it’s neighboring region Amhara have been the pillars in Orthodoxy in Ethiopia. These two regions have high population in orthodox religion compared to other regions in Ethiopia. I understand that our church may not be in full communion with Eastern Orthodox because we are non-Chalcedonian. However, other than Egypt we are really the only African country that have old and ongoing history in practicing the faith. It would be a shame if both Tigray and Amhara regional people fight because ultimately it would be losing our Orthodox brothers.

    Hi Jonathan, I'm an Ethiopian Orthodox deacon. I'm very fond of ur work. Ur discussion with Richard was very interesting. Listening to foreigners talk about Ethiopia can be a bit strange sometimes because some western scholars have bizzare ideas about Ethiopia. And they could sometimes be very wrong about Ethiopian history and the Ethiopian Orthodox church. But I think u guys did a wonderful job and did ur research very well. I hope I will be able to meet u and Jordan Peterson some day. Ur work has influenced me a lot. I also admire your good friend Jordan Peterson very much. His lectures and the way he thinks are very close to Orthodox ideas and teachings. I sometimes feel like I'm listening to an Orthodox priest when I hear him lol. I don't think u were able to visit Aksum and see some of the incredible monasteries in Tigray and Northern Ethiopia. I hope u will come and visit again. Please let us all know when u do. And I also haven't seen Jordan or you giving lectures in Africa so that is something most of us are looking forward to. I thank u for all the incredible things that u are doing.

      Also apologia studios is really good at arguing and yelling at people but that's about it.

      Actually habesha derived from the Mahri language which means "gatherers" (as in gatherers of incense). As far as I'm concerned the word has never been used offensively or to insult people. This whole offensive thingy is a resent thing people came up with to tarnish Ethiopian history. I just hope we can all look past our differences and find a common ground instead of tearing each other's history down. People will proudly tell you they're habesha if they're Ethiopian because it was synonymously used unlike today where some people are using to associate the term with certain ethnicities and also changing the meaning so to make it seem as tho it was an insult to them. Hope this helped with the misunderstanding. ✌️Good day

I started to investigate more and more into deep Christianity, the desert fathers, byzantine, early Irish church, etc a little more than ten years ago. I became very interested in Ethiopia upon learning that Bob Marley converted to Ethiopian Orthodoxy towards the end of his life. I even wrote a song about it. These videos have been blessing to me so thank you guys. It makes me feel like there are others out there. If you are curious to hear the song you can just search "Zac and the Grinz" (the band) and "West Bank" (the song).

    The Oriental Orthodox were the first to break away, the first schism was caused by them, long before the Catholics. However, the differences between the Orthodox and them remain much smaller than the differences with the Catholics and Protestants. They are almost exclusively related to the heresy of miaphysitism, which, at least in my view, is such a fine theological line that the majority of the faithfull will not even know to explain how in the world this led to a separation. The rest of the doctrine is almost identical, their monastic tradition the same. That is why, as an Eastern Orthodox, I have a feeling of being at home in the Oriental Orrhodox churches (especially the Coptic one of Egypt). I cannot say the same about the Catholics and Protestants, which, in spite of the fact that they broke away much later, and with whom we share a lot of European history, have made so many inovations across the centuries, that very seldomly an Orthodox can recognize any common roots with them.
    Both schisms are deep wounds for the Church, and we pray that God will find a way to heal them, but yes, I also feel the Oriental one is bleeding more, as the difference is such a subtle one...And, leaving the difference aside, these Oriental Orthodox Christians live such authentic lives due to their own historical context, many times experiencing modern day martyrdom. All my love and respect goes to them always!

      Bzw oriental Orthodox isn't a schism its the original teachings of apostolic father about Jesus christ Which is he is one nature from two nature. This teaching have been known by saint cyril & other apostolic fathers also they have approved it in the 3rd council of Ephesus. Later on pope leo is the one who teachs heretical teaching which is christ is two nature which Catholic & Easter Orthodox accepted it as apostolic teaching.

Hebrews 13:11-14 says, The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

You reminded me of this as you spoke about the well of life, and Sheba, Solomon, and the cup of water...death and potential.

In relation to the connection between the Holy Virgin's connection with Ethiopia, according to the Ethiopian Orthodox Chrisitian teachings, when the holy family went to Egypt to escape king Herod, they travelled to Ethiopia at some point during their exile and the young Jesus is said to have consecrated Ethiopia to his mother. The Holy Virgin remains a cornerstone in Ethiopian Orthodox christianity.

    This is so amazing! I don't know if anyone related the pattern to this but I really felt the essence of this.. I related it to the edge by the Protestant movement as being the rejected that preserved the seed of the the Gospel.. and I could also relate it with the fall of Rome by the outsiders wild Goths that became Germany that continued the tradition of Rome. It's quite literally true... The pattern is universally working everywhere.. and Loved to hear the connection between India because I always wondered where is India in the end times. I do believe that in the end the traditions and stories of India and it's myth are deeply rich symbolically but it's mixed and incomplete in some senses...I sense there would be someone who would join these links and bring more to area to the Kingdom of Christ. thank you so much for doing this...

    with the Cup symbolism in the picture of everything, and you were speaking of the containment of the cup preserving, it made me think about sloshing at the top near the heavens that may spill out. and from there it made me think of the tradition in Judaism during the Seder where the wine is intentionally spilled a number of times for a whole grip of reasons. i don’t know much about this tradition/ritual, but i found this interesting to ponder on.
