Following Rastafari |
| Within
the movement of Rastafari, as one knows,
there are several if not numerous different
houses. To name a few, we have the 12 Tribes
Rasta, we have the bobo Dread, Nyabinghy,
Orthodox, Jesus Dread, et cetera. Now that I
have shared some meditations about the
things that divide, now I would like to
meditate about one of the things that bind
together. And that "thing" is
RASTAFARI, HAILE SELASSIE I, CONQUERING LION
OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH! I and I Messian Dread
do not believe Selassie is Christ, but I
follow Rastafari in my ways and meditation.
In this article I witness about the way I
see the spiritual richness and importance of
the Negus, Rastafari. |
| |
| The
fact, that I personally do not believe that
Selassie is Jah, does not imply, that I do
not see any spiritual significance within
HIM. HIM not being Jah is not a central
point in my concepts, as I tend to focus on
who Selassie is rather than who Selassie is
not. As my locks grow longer and my faith
gets stronger, I can only witness and say
that my love for His Majesty has increased
over the years. I really love King Selassie
in a growing degree because I see more and
more things about HIM that teach I about
Jah. Surely, the personality of His Imperial
Majesty reveals the Savior, as my brethren
and sistren in the 12 Tribes of Israel greet
eachother. It is fascinating and thrilling
to realize we are living in the last days of
babylon and Jah gives signs, warnings and
hopeful messages to those who want to see.
And Haile Selassie is used in a special way
by Jah to teach us truth and right. Haile
Selassie (Power of the Trinity) was the
225th in a direct bloodline of Ethiopian
monarchs, Menelik being the first. Menelik
was a son of Queen Sheba and King Solomon,
the legendary son of David, king of Israel.
Though questioned by mainstream christianity
in babylon, I hold this for a fact. The
christian mainstream has an eye-focus on
babylon only because they do not even come
to the thought maybe Jah does not abide by
their white race perspectives. For
mainstream christianity there simply does
not consist anything right outside their own
white/Euro-American schemes and concepts.
For centuries it has been the white
christian establishment closely working
together with babylon's leaders to
collectively downpress the people. You can
not really call that christianity a worship
of Jah, so it is a dead believe, resulting
in corruption, wickedness and immorality as
you can see today taking place in these so
called christian nations. Should I believe
them when it comes to His Majesty? Where it
is clear that they don't want to have an
open eye for the first christian nation on
earth? I hope this article will work as an
eye opener for my evangelical brethren and
sistren. The fact I do not believe Rastafari
is Jah, does not in any way imply that I
embrace this white christianity. How can I
deny His Majesty? His ways are truth and
right! His teachings are the teachings of a
devout Christian. When people tell me that
Selassie is not of Solomonic Bloodline and
it is clear that they follow a doctrine
where there is no room for Ethiopia I will
not follow them in that matter. |
|
| |
|
| No,
I can not empirically prove this bloodline
to you, I can only give you my reasoning. If
the Ethiopian monarchs are of Solomonic
Bloodline then that must show in the
country. These signs I see indeed. I see a
nation literally covered in biblical
symbols. The churches in Ethiopia are build
after the example of the Jah Temple in
Jerusalem. They all have a replica of the
Jewish Arc of the Covenant, and the original
is supposedly present in the city of Aksum.
The close relationship is also beautifully
and symbolically presented in the Bible
where you read that Moses who guided the
children of Israel out of Egypt was married
to Mirjam, an Ethiopian woman. Ethiopia is
the first christian nation on earth. Years
before it was spread in Europe, Ethiopians
already had a form of worship to Jah through
the Mediation of Iesous Kristos the Messiah.
This is biblical knowledge for the Ethiopian
diplomat who was on his way back from
Jerusalem to Ethiopia (Acts 3) was converted
and baptized, spread the gospel in his own
country years earlier than Paulus heading
for Europe. Ethiopia was a part of the
Garden of Eden, where the first man was
planted, the first country outside Israel to
have a form of christianity is Ethiopia,
perhaps the first country because in Israel
the first christians were really downpressed.
We see lost tribes coming from Ethiopia
where the Jews have been living as a part of
the nation. All these things together for I
show, that also the Solomonic Bloodline is
true. Only when a nation's king is of that
bloodline, one sees so many biblical and
empirical signs of Jah Worship. |
|
| |
|
| What
is so important in (acknowledging) that
bloodline? I have read christian
publications regarding the movement of
Rastafari that quote the scriptures where
Paulus warns the people not to build their
faith upon "endless genealogies".
True, if your foundation is a bloodline, you
have a weak foundation. You can not hold
someone divine (that is: being either the
Father, the Son or the Spirit ) just because
he is of Solomonic Bloodline. Nowhere in
scriptures you see an indication that the
Monarchs of Israel were worshipped as being
God. But we do not speak about building
faith upon endless genealogies just because
we make a mention of it. Also those that
believe in Selassie's divinity do not base
this solely of the Emperor's bloodline. The
New Testament opens up with a genealogy, so
surely it is not unimportant to take a look
at a bloodline and draw spiritual
conclusions from that. For example: don't
you think there is a spiritual lesson to be
learned in the fact that among the bloodline
of Jesus Christ a prostitute is mentioned?
When a bloodline is mentioned then it is of
significance. Haile Selassie was as a Jah
Servant with Jewish Royal Blood thus sitting
upon a throne of David. As all Davidic kings
(oughted to) know, they were part of a
lineage that would result in the physical
Reignship of Jah the Most High on
"their" throne, when Christ
returns in Jerusalem. This fact made them
living Icons of Christ in His Kingly
Character. What I mean with that? The
monarchs that sit upon a Davidic throne are
symbolical references to the Final King,
Omega, Jesus Christ. That is why the throne
is there. Look at it as a way from Kingston
to St. Ann's, on the road you see signs
pointing you to the goal. So the kings are
signs, the bloodline is the road, the goal
is the Reignship of Jah on earth. |
|
| |
|
| When
I tell you, that Jah is your father, I do
this, to give you an idea about the
character of Jah. The concept
"Father" by far is not enough to
describe the relationship of Jah with his
children, but it describes a certain aspect
of the Most High. Now, when you hear
"Father", what do you think? You
look in your area for a father. You see a
father and you think:"Ah, that is what
a father means". Now, ofcourse, this is
a simple thing, but the same principle works
with Haile Selassie. In the Apocalypse,
where John sees visions of the final
downstruction of babylon, in chapter 5 the
Savior is presented as "the Lion of
Judah". Now, when you see this term,
"Lion of Judah", you do the same
thing. You ask yourself: "what is a
lion of Judah". When you look closely
you will find in Ethiopia, where kings of
the Solomonic bloodline were called
"Lion of Judah" even before
Christ! As far as I know there is no other
place on the earth where there is a mention
of "Lion of Judah" apart from
Ethiopia. It is a specific title for an
Ethiopian king. Take for example the word
"president". Suppose that you read
in the bible Jah describing Himself as the
"President". You would have Bill
Clinton in your mind, and you would know
what it means. Now, fortunately Jah does not
compare Himself with the
"President" but with the Ethiopian
King. Because He presents Himself as Lion of
Judah. He says: when you want to know Who I
am, you will learn a great deal when you
examine the Ethiopian King. Because of the
Euro-centered way of thinking of so many
eschatologists, tragically this (as well as
many more things) has been overlooked. I see
the fact that Jesus Christ presents Himself
as Lion of Judah in a context where there is
a mention of who is the rightful ruler of
the earth, as a message from Jah to look to
Ethiopia's Lion of Judah to learn what it
will be, when earth's rightful Ruler will
finally sit upon the throne of David, which
has been kept warm for Him partly in.......
Ethiopia! |

| |
|
| Thusfar
I have given various reasons why Selassie is
more than just a king in just a country. I
have shared the vision that he is an Icon of
Christ, a living representation of the
government system that will function under
Jah's rule at his return in Jerusalem. Now I
would like to share with you ten specific
lessons that I think there is to be learned
from the personality of Haile Selassie,
because it is not enough to say Selassie
serves as a lesson in Theocracy, I must also
prove this. |
|
| Lesson
1 |
|
| The
fact that Haile Selassie ordered to have a
bible translation made that was written in
ordinary Ethiopian language, teaches us that
in the Kingdom of Jah we are all responsible
for ourselves. We can not depend on others
to fully overstand the written word of God,
we must always be able to check things out
for ourselves in scripture. This is the same
principle that is used by the Prophet Gad:
"Check it for yourself, if it is true
what I say, read the bible a chapter a
day". |
|
| Lesson
2 |
|
| The
fact there was force needed to get Selassie
on the throne, is also what is happening
when Christ is going to sit upon the throne.
Babylon will not like it, there will be a
big fight and clash before Christ will take
His Seat. |
|
| Lesson
3 |
|
| The
fact that His Imperial Majesty installed the
Organization of Afrikan Inity teaches me,
that Jah wants His children to unite. There
is no room for segregation or tribalism. No
matter if we are from this or that tribe, we
must all unite, to come together, together
we must fight against babylon, together we
stand strong. Although, when Jah comes and
babylon removed, there will no more be wars,
in this present day we still have to face
babylon every day. We are already living in
Jah Kingdom when we are Jah disciples, even
before the Physical Reignship has been
installed, I and I are already members of
this kingdom, therefore also Jah teaches us
through Selassie Works how we should behave
in this present time of war between good and
evil. |
|
| Lesson
4 |
|
| The
fact that Selassie was the head of the
Ethiopian Orthodox church tells us, that in
the kingdom of Jah there will be no
separation between church and state, that
means that within the social structure there
will be an eye for righteousness, justice
and equality. The state under King Yeshouah
will be based upon Jah Law. The head of
state is also the head of the church. |
|
| Lesson
5 |
|
| The
fact that Mussolini, as a type or icon of
the coming antichrist, could not prevail
against Haile Selassie teaches me this:
Rome, as a symbol for corrupted christianity
(no offense intended to those readers that
live in the city of Rome for I talk about
the roman catholic church) tries to conquer
the Kingdom of God, and sometimes it seems
like they are succeeding in that, but this
will not happen. Again I must say, that some
things that I see within His Majesty are
references to the coming physical Reignship
of Jah on earth, other things like this one
teach me more about the present situation,
in which Jah children, the citizens of the
Kingdom of Jah have to face struggle. |
|
| Lesson
6 |
|
| The
fact that His Majesty granted land (Shashamane)
to Afrikans in exile, no matter which tribe
they originally came from, teaches me that
Jah accepts each and everyone, without
looking at geographical origin. Just like
the good Shepherd gathers his sheep,
Selassie proved to be like a shepherd for
the children of Africa, at home and abroad.
No matter where you come from, you can
always repatriate to your Creator. No matter
if your sins caused you to live in
(spiritual) exile from the Source of Life
(Jah Christ): you can always return. |
|
| Lesson
7 |
|
| The
fact that His Majesty used his authority to
work towards righteousness, equality and
justice shows to me, what it means, that
Christ will rule with an iron rod of
correction. Let me explain: in contradiction
to babylon where the rod of money,
inequality and injustice rules and 10% of
the people get 90% of the assets, in the
coming physical Theocratic Global Kingdom of
Jah this will not be tolerated! |
|
| Lesson
8 |
|
| The
fact that His Majesty as a King from the
Davidic Bloodline governed over a people
consisting of Jews and non-Jews is another
clear similarity between the Kingdom of Jah
and the Ethiopian Monarchy. When Jah comes
to rule, unlike Old Testament times where
the Kings of Israel ruled only over the
people of Israel, King Omega (Christ) will
rule over Jews and non-Jews. |
|
| Lesson
9 |
|
| The
fact that His Majesty invited the Beta
Israel to join the christian faith shows to
me what the binding factor is in the Kingdom
of Jah: the worship of Jah through the
mediation of Christ. even if you are a
member of the house of Jacob. |
|
| Lesson
10 |
|
| The
fact that His Majesty is called the King of
kings makes it clear what that title means:
it does not matter what your nationality is,
or your race. The Reignship of Jah goes
beyond one nation or culture. You do not
have to deny your your identity or change
it, because Jah is the King over all kings. |
|
| |
|
| Queen
Sheba made an excellent decision when she
went to Israel checking out King Solomon and
his wisdom. She stood in awe when she
realized that Solomon was even wiser than
the stories she had heard. Solomon was the
wisest man and his son Haile Selassie I
also. Haile Selassie has proven to be an
Icon of Jesus Christ, through his
personality Jesus Christ reveals Himself
when you have eyes to see. I have already
given nuff reason why I think he is an Icon
of Jah, I have given nuff lessons I think
there is to learn from His Majesty's
personality. This in itself is enough to
stand in awe and respect for this king, just
like his grandmother Queen Sheba stood in
awe for his grandfather, King Solomon. But
there is much more to say about Haile
Selassie, which I like to share with you
now. |
|
| |
|
| When
His Majesty found out, that people were
worshipping HIM as God, he did not do what a
lot of christians do, simply denying that he
is Jah and for the rest nothing. No, I think
His Majesty gives us a perfect message about
how we should follow HIM if we wish to do
so. And I must say, I wish to follow
Rastafari, because Rastafari shows I the
Way, the Truth and the Light: Iesous Kristos.
I do not wish to place myself subject under
a queen or king that does not serve as an
Icon of Jah, that does not have
righteousness dwelling. When I look to the
woman that they call Queen of the
Netherlands, what is there to learn? Haile
Selassie I, Rastafari, Lion of Judah on
earth, teach I and I! Because His Majesty
denied repeatedly that he was Jah, the fact
I do not believe as well in his divinity,
means I follow the teachings of His Majesty.
I follow the teaching of the archbishop
Abuna Yesehaq, that is sent by His Majesty
to Jamaica for this reason. You can read all
about that in a previous article. His
Majesty told us to read the bible, to pray
to Iesous Kristos, just like he prayed to
Iesous Kristos. His Majesty told us to fight
for the unification of all righteous people,
to work hard for justice and equality where
we live. Rastafari teachings! |
|
| |
|
| I
follow Rastafari because he is an Icon of
Jah. I follow Rastafari because he proved to
be a righteous king, worthy of the titles
that he wore. He was anointed to be a king
serving his people in the fear of JAH
through Kristos Iesous and he did that.
Rastafari told me to pray and do the best I
can to praise Jah in my life, not only by my
words, but also use I and I ability to
achieve this. |
|
| |
|
| I
also follow Rastafari, because he as head of
the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and
"Keeper of the Ethiopian Orthodox
Faith" represents Roots-Christianity.
The Ethiopian Christian Faith is the oldest
in the world. It has never served babylon in
the way that other christianity forms have
done. Like so many Rastafarians I was born
and raised in the Pentecostal Movement. This
movement, part of Evangelical Christianity,
has been blinded for Ethiopia unfortunately,
this in spite of the fact that Haile
Selassie embraced this movement. Haile
Selassie I attended, even opened, an
evangelist congress in Berlin, organized by
the famous Billy Graham. Bob Marley showed
his love for the same movement by revealing
his affection for the books of Hal Lindsey
which are evangelical books about the
apocalypse. Still the eyes of many of my
evangelical bredrin and sistren are closed
for the rich visions and knowledge from the
Ethiopian Faith. |
|
| |
|
| Thusfar
I have shared with you my visions of
Rastafari as an Icon of Iesous Kristos. I
have given you reasons why I believe it is
totally rightful and scriptural founded to
have this vision of Selassie I and Ethiopia.
I have given you 10 examples in which I
believe you can vision Selassie I as an Icon
of Christ in His Kingly Character as the
Lion of Judah. I carried on and tried to
share with you the way I follow Rastafari. I
hope and pray, that this article has been a
blessing for you in one way or another. I
have not written this article in an attempt
to judge anybody, whether they believe in
His Majesty's divinity or whether they are a
member of the evangelical world. I sight
everyone who calls upon the Name of Jah
through His Son, whether they believe Him to
be returned or not, as Idren. I only give
you my humble visions of Rastafari, the
Mighty Lion of Judah! |
