This is one of the biggest wrongs, besides non christian traditions, the EoC caused to Ethiopians and Ethiopian ethnics. This is a perfect tool that enabled the kings to exploit the poor by entrenching their power for almost more than half a century. That is why we say the perception of Ethiopia is very varried. King lalibela of the Agaw built rock hewn churches to emulate Jerusalem when the later was occupied.
No wonder the north of the country wants a hostage of the south because they think it is a land given to the chosen solomonic dynasty.
WE STILL LIVE WITH THIS FAIRYTALE AND THIS SHAPES POLITICAL NARRATIVE OF THE CONTRY TODY while people live in virtual squalor and civilization
Believe me Ethiopia is no different from other countries of the world in the eyes of the creator and how each country is seen by God is by the righteousness of the country, its leaders, and its population and belief in Jesus!
God cares more about his children by jesus or believers than artificial countries and boundaries made by sinner people. The bible says all the earth in its fullness belongs to God

I am learning this new thing ************************************
Does ethiopian orthodox church believe ethiopia is a holly land like jerusalem based on solomonic dynasty?
Yes, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church believes that Ethiopia is a holy land, often referred to as a "New Zion" or "New Jerusalem," and this belief is deeply connected to the Solomonic dynasty, the Ark of the Covenant, and a national identity that views Ethiopia as the chosen successor to biblical Israel. Shoooot
Key elements supporting this belief include:
The Solomonic Dynasty and Kebra Nagast: Ethiopian tradition, particularly as recorded in the 14th-century Kebra Nagast (Glory of Kings), asserts that the country's monarchs are descended from King Solomon of Israel and the Queen of Sheba (Makeda). This lineage provided divine legitimacy to the Solomonic dynasty, which ruled until 1974.
The Ark of the Covenant: According to tradition, Menelik I—the son of Solomon and Sheba—returned from Jerusalem to Ethiopia with the Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to still reside in the Church of St. Mary of Zion in Aksum. The presence of the Ark is considered to make Ethiopia a "New Zion".
Spiritual Heir to Israel: Ethiopian Orthodox Christians view themselves as the new chosen people, inheriting the spiritual and physical legacy of the biblical Israelites. This involves the belief that God's favor was transferred from the original Kingdom of Israel to Ethiopia.
Sacred Geography: Ethiopia's geography and holy sites are often renamed to reflect biblical sites, and the church maintains that the country's connection to the holy land existed long before European colonization.
Ritual and Tradition: The Ethiopian Orthodox Church retains significant Judaic elements in its worship, which reinforce this shared identity with biblical times.
