On The Interview With Prophet Gad |
| "Greetings
in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ Who has revealed Himself in this time
in the personality of His Imperial Majesty,
Haile Selassie....."
This is the official greetings of the
Rastafarian Organization 12 tribes of
Israel, the biggest congregations of
Rastafarians with centers around the world.
The founder and leader of the movement has
been interviewed by Jamaican Radiostation
IRIE FM. This article is a meditation about
the utterances by Vernon Carrington, the
Prophet Gad!
NO, there is no official website of the
12 tribes of Israel. The only link I came
across during my surfing sessions hunting
for new links, was a dead one. I personally
could never get any publication by the
group. The only things I knew, I knew from
books. Until I came across the interview.
Some brother sended me a tape and for the
first time in my life I could hear the voice
of Vernon Carrington, better known as THE
PROPHET GAD from the 12 tribes of Israel. I
rejoiced to find out, that I was not the
only one having the believe Selassie is an
Ikon of Jah, but not Jah Himself. I felt
like a fool, thirsty in the abundance of
water. Oh yes, I knew it's a controversy,
the person of Haile Selassie, as I can
witness that some Rastas and some (other)
Christians give I tribulation because of my
meditations. Sometimes I felt alone. And
then Jah says: You are not the only one! I
raised my head up high, and wrote down my
thoughts. I am not alone in this struggle, I
am in good company. The company of the
founder and leader of the twelve tribes of
Israel, the prophet Gad. |
| No
brainwash education |
| As
a true Rastafarian group, there is no
doctrine pushed upon the members, they are
encouraged to find out things for
themselves. This has to be done by reading
the bible "a chapter a day". So it
can be, that some members of the 12 tribes
say a different thing than their leader.
Until recently it was very hard to get ahold
of some of the prophet's teachings. But the
prophet Gad, the leader and founder of the
organization, was interviewed recently on
the Jamaican Radiostation Irie FM. The
interview has been transcribed and placed on
the Internet, liberating readers like me
from the unrealized bondage of ignorance .
It is always said, that the prophet believes
and teaches, that Haile Selassie is Jesus
Christ. Well, this is not the case. He is
saying, that Christ is coming to sit upon
the throne, he literally "makes a
different definition", when it comes to
Selassie and Jesus Messiah. It is true, that
the King radiates Christ, but he is not
Christ. Well, this was a remarkable
discovery when I listened to the interview,
and spoken with some members of the 12
tribes. No, this is not a recent change of
doctrine, I am assured. The prophet has
always said this. |
|
| Close
connection with Rastafari |
|
| With
members of the Ethiopian Royal Family in the
12 tribe congregation, and with the
teachings of their leader prophet Gad more
or less the same as the Ethiopian Orthodox
when it comes to Selassie, I find it
remarkable that the closer we get to the
person of Rastafari (family, his church,
etc), the more people assure us that he was
an Ikon of Christ, but not Jah or Christ
Himself. When you come as closest to HIM as
you possibly can, namely to HIM personally,
you hear: "I am a man, and man can not
worship man." How different this was
with those who knew Jesus close: they were
all convinced He was God! It is true that we
have a lot of members in both the EOC
(Ethiopian Orthodox Church) as the TTI (12
Tribes) who still believe that Selassie is
God, this is because the 12 tribes members
are encouraged to think for themselves, the
prophet's teachings are not forced like
brainwash education. |
|
| Spreading
the vibe |
|
| How
come that so many people just do not know of
these teachings? How come many people don't
know, that there are actually a lot of
Rastafarian Elders, who do not believe
Selassie to be the returned Messiah? How can
it be, that there is so much false rumor
circulating about the doctrines of the
prophet Gad? For example, in the
world-famous book Reggae International, it
is written that the TTI teach Selassie is
Jesus. So then, this is not the case and has
never been the case. How come? There must be
some strong power, that tries to withhold
the truth from coming out. The truth that a
lot of Rastafarians know as a fact that
Selassie is not Jesus Christ, but he clearly
is an Ikon of Jah Messiah, might be an
offense for some, but it is not a sin. Even
stronger: the truth shall set you free! It
is time, that this message spreads across
Cyberspace and the (rest of the) real world. |
|
| The
opposition |
|
| That
the TTI have a different definition, is
clear to see in the fact that they are not
invited in the talks that are organized by
another Rastafarian Organization, the
relatively young Rastafarian Unification
Organization. A group that is committed to
the unification of all Rastafarians but they
exclude the biggest! That is a remarkable
fact..... According to the prophet Gad there
has never been an initiative from the side
of the RUO to have the TTI participate,
although Gad is very willing to help. His
leading capacities, his connections with the
Ethiopian Royal Family, all these things
apparently do not matter. Only once were the
12 Tribes invited to help with a school, but
that's it. He does not have an explanation
for this exclusion, but I think that for
some people it seems to be that only those
people who believe that Rastafari is Jesus
Christ are Rastafarians. And they want to do
anything they can to keep it that way.
Unfortunately the tribal war has not
ended.... |
|
| Bun
the Bible? |
|
| The
prophet is asked what he thinks of all those
people who say the Bible is not reliable,
people who say: "bun the bible".
He answers that there are a lot of people
that are cursing over the things of Jah.
Cursing God, cursing the King. Gadman
doesn't really respond to it, he only says,
that there are always people who reject Jah
and His Word, but that there are also people
who accept and give thanks for them. A very
good attitude, why waste your time in
reasoning with people who are only trying to
bring you down? There are nuff people who do
want to know what Jah says. |
|
| Locks
and food |
|
| The
prophet is asked about dreadlocks, and diet.
He makes mention of the fact, that scripture
is not saying that we are saved by our hair,
or by what we eat. We are saved by grace
alone, through the blood of Christ. This is
what the prophet is saying. It is also
remarkable, that he as a Rastafarian leader
does not wear dreadlocks himself. He does
encourage however, that people do wear them.
In this thing, he is following the
Scriptural way. The prophet says we have to
find out if the things he says are correct
by reading the bible a chapter a day. He is
following the Bible himself. And he is
following Haile Selassie, who has said that
he was saved by the Blood of Christ, and not
by his own character. A true Rastafarian
follows Rastafari. A dreadlock is wearing
the mark of the Nazarite, of the special
livicated to Jah. What one eats or not eats,
is a matter of the heart, not of doctrine.
The prophet knows and practices the words of
Jah, not to become like the Pharisees who
say don't eat this, don't eat that. |

| CONCLUZION |
|
| The
interview, which I was blessed to transcribe
for publication on the Internet, has been
quoted in one of the most blessed books that
is available on this subject, a book called
DREAD JESUS which is documenting the current
Messianic movement within Rastafari. This
fact alone shows you the significance of the
interview. I thank God for enlightening
Gadman that Selassie and Christ are not the
same person, and that Selassie is not a part
of the Divine Trinity, although he is a
descendant of David and annointed by Jah
like all kings. |
