" The Father and The Son" By Ras Elijah Tafari

3times each,The Lamb and Lion Wept. Supplicating Tears For Peace.

Greetings in the Name of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I the First. Power and Virtue of The Trinity. In the Name of Jah The Father, Jah The Son, Jah The Hola Spirit, One Jah. First. Amen.

In this time of deep meditation and World Tribulation, I wanted to share the importance of  why Emperor Haile Selassie I Wept, and how it is intertwined when Iyesus Wept.  The shortest sentence in Scriptures, shares more than words can say. When one’s think of God, The Almighty Ruler of all,  too often the emotions of The Creator seem unreal or a human invention. As creations or inventions of Jah it is relevant that We and Jah weeps, that as great as Jah is, that it isn’t just The Word that reaches Our Heart, it is the feeling, which is why this sentence, “Jesus Wept.” John Chapter 11:35 goes deeper than words.

Without knowing the past, the present and future will not be understood, To get the fullness we have to go to Scriptures and see the pretext to The Emperor Tears. When reasoning on this topic it is important for the reader to know that We as Rastafari see both Iyesus Kristos, Yeshuah the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as the True Vine to God and Jah’s Son. His place is in Our Father’s Love which He can not be separate. He knows what is to come because His Father has told Him, and allocated the Power of Salvation into Christ Trust. Emperor Haile Selassie I, The Conquering Lion of Judah is the Root of David and King of Kings. This is fact not and opinion, rooted firmly historically and agreed by all nations. In looking at His Life, we cite witnesses, and times and places, to record His Steps that where given to the Earth to witness why we exclaim, He is the Almighty Father of Fathers and Head Creator. His Life is the sequel that Christ referred to when He sat on the donkey  John Chapter 12:14 ” Do not fear, Daughters of Zion, see, your King is coming, sitting on the colt of a donkey.” , This is a reference to Zechariah 9:9 which speaks of How Jah is the likened to the leader of Judah, and a King. Iyesus Christos, never called Himself a King, that was the confusion of the Pharisees and the fear presented to the Romans. Likewise when He was on the donkey,  Iyesus was speaking about the Future King, and who is the King of Zion.  Keep this in mind, because we will forward to this later. Lets go into why Jesus Wept and what does that mean, as we lead up to His Crucification and Resurrection.

In Hebrew the name of Lazarus is EL’azar, meaning “God has Helped.” and he was a good friend of Christ and believed in him as the Son of Jah and loved him. He was one of the few men that Yeshua felt comfortable staying the night, and it was well know Jesus loved him as a bredren. (John11;3 and 11:5) His sister was the women that washed Christ’s feet with her hair, and anointed Christ. So when Christ didn’t come when He got the message that El’azar was sick, and waited purposely for him to die, it raised suspicion. In fact it didn’t take long for the Disciples to be worried about being stoned just walking with him to El’azar house now he had died. It was 4 days after Lazarus died until Christ went to see his family, and they blamed him for his death, simply because they know He can heal the sick. After being let in and Jesus saying to them that El’azar is sleeping and He will wake him up, they were still skeptical. Because it wasn’t clear is this literal or symbolic, but when Christ said, ” Where have you laid him” it became real. Where is the place where he was decided dead by the people. It was when Jesus arrived at the tomb, followed by a mob that He wept. He felt their loss, and hopelessness, and wept. He related in that These tears were     ” for the things that were made for peace.”  When he wept,  the mob saw a man, and related to his tears, and remembered His Power and what He had done. They felt the human-ness of God and felt a sense of peace. It was in stark contrast to the strength they had seen, and yet was strong in its cords to bring forth the Scriptures, such as ” Blessed are the Peace makers for they will be called the sons of God.” He would also bring to mind  that He is a Prince of Peace.  The Book Isaiah 53, speaking that the Messiah would be a man of great sorrow and grief, also a man of peace, who rejects violence.  That He was born to carrying Our Grief and be an offering to peace. He would speak these same words shortly after getting off the donkey, “ Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?” which is the beginning of Isaiah 53.

When Christ cried the first time it was written in Luke 19:41-43  ”41  As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it,  and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.”  His tears are interlinked to What would bring Peace.. After Lazarus was had been risen, his purposeful place on the donkey was representative of the Holy Spirit of Jah. To speak again, of what would bring peace.

The donkey itself it s a key and code. I donkey is much different that a horse, and is original in its genetic making, horses are bred. Donkey’s aren’t very “nice” they are sure and stubborn. Jah has used donkey’s through out the Scriptures, and what they do is defend. The are protectors, of horses, cows and Lambs… and people.  They will chase away dogs and be loyal to the meak… The importance of peace and defending the meak are interlinked.

After weeping the second time, then asks Martha to push the boulder out the way. And tells El’azar the Come out!

Everything being done would be a preview of what was to come in His Resurrection as well as the set up for why the State would want to kill Him. By raising the dead on the fourth day, He would make believers and enemies like no other time, and knew He would be giving His Life so that the dead would live. So that they could come out of the shadows death and their vanity.  This is relevant to us all, in knowing that no matter how dead you think you are, or how smelly the cave, that The Almighty can raise us up. Through Our Oneness with Him, Awaits the Peace of Eternal Life. When Lazarus was arisen it was on the fourth day it was so the Priests couldn’t deny that Lazarus was dead. His flesh was rotting and was then renewed. Jesus and he also would be marked men.  In John 11:50  the same priests and pharisees saw and said, that if people believe in the Christ, and that Lazarus was risen from the dead then they would have no power, and lose their nation to the Romans. The priests decided to sacrifice Iyesus Christos, to ” save their entire nation.” not seeing that they were fulfilling the prophecies Isaiah 53 again.

The last time it was written that Christ Wept was on the Cross. For the Third and last time He would cry would be to Jah, written in the book of Hebrews 5:7. “ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared.”  The word “feared”, in that He was heard in that he feared, is also cited in the NIV as Christ was heard because He submitted, and therefore was peace. “because of his reverent submission.” His tears here also show His prayers and supplications, which would be for our trespasses and blindness. For us all to see, Once again He cried for us, for our humanity to arise and be resurrected as well as our divinity. Silently calling for us to Come out and fulfilling the last part of Isaiah 53. 11  ”He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

As we witness, the boulders would have to be moved again, for there to be another resurrection. This would be the finale Word, that the Son and Father are One, and that neither death nor captivity can hold captive Jah, for He Conquers Death and is the Life Giver. That those who believe would know the gift of Eternal Life is here and now. As it was written, Jah gave Him His Portion with the Great, and He divided His “spoil”, His Gifts to those who are Strong of Faith. This is also when the Holy Spirit is unleashed on the Earth. Christ taught that He had to go in order that His Spirit could be fostered within you, His Words would bring a lot of meditations when it came to John chapter 16:6 and would be the prelude to His Imperial Majesties presence to come.  ” 6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Remember these words, spoken that “He” The Father of Creation would glorify Christ and that He will show you all that is of His Son to you, and that Christ would do likewise. That the Word of God the Father would be the Son and The Word of the Son would be the Father.

These are the Tears and Teachings of The Lamb, Let us move to meditate on the Tears and Teachings of The Lion.

3 Times Iyesus Kristos, Jesus Christ Cried. 3 times it was noted Emperor Haile Selassie I The Lion of Judah cried.

Emperor Haile Selassie I on the Donkey

The Book of Zechariah 9′s prophecy, the one that Christ reminded the people when He sat on the Donkey to proclaim the King is Coming, He speaks on He that is coming to declare Peace to all Nations.  ”Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.”

It is clear Zion is real place in which a war against Greece would also come, which is the Books Of Maccabees. In this Prophecy The Most High through Zechariah Has Declared the King of Zion would come on a Donkey as did Christ, and in this prophecy The Lord also declares that Judah is His.

Let Us remind the reader, that Ethiopia is seen as the Garden and Zion to the people historically until present. It is also considered Zion on Earth by the Oldest Christian Kingdom of Ethiopia and has its roots of being seen as Zion in the Psalms of David. (Psalms 87) The Love of that God has for Israel is compared to the Love He has for Ethiopia in Amos Chapter 9 verse 7:Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord.” So it is of upmost importance to realize the seriousness of Emperor Haile Selassie I official titles being ” King of Zion.” and Jah’s Love for Ethiopia.

We start on the Donkey 1936 in Ethiopia, with The Conquering Lion of Judah. The Blood of the Covenant. When Italy betrayed their treaties made with Ethiopia and the League of Nations, They Betrayed the Holy Trinity, and attacked Zion.  This marked the beginning of WW2 and much more.

In the prophecy spoken by Zechariah, in the same sentence where he speaks about He rides on donkey he says ” He is Just, and He has Salvation.”  What Emperor Haile Selassie I said before the League of Nations is that He is here for Justice for His People, and that if His warning if listened to could achieve salvation,  instead they ignored HIM and WW2 and Europes destruction was the judgement. “..My people and give Europe a warning of the doom that awaits it, if it should bow.” This was the most prolific speech of 20th Century as the only Head of State to address the League of Nations ever. He spoke about The Kingdom of God, and the Christ Covenant that no nation was above the any other, apart from His Kingdom. That God and History would remember their judgement. He spoke Peace to the Heathen but they choose to try to Crucify His Imperial Majesty in the name of Appeasement and racism.  Before speaking to the assembly He was attacked with jeers from fascists , a stand was made then and there. It went dark 3 times on floor while Police arrested and ejected the racists and heathen. Speaking about Deadly poisonous rain that was brought forth by Italy, with the blessing of the Vatican, it became clear that Only The Almighty Could Save Ethiopia from the cruel hands of death that Italy had already brought.

The Book of Revelations would reveal chapter after chapter what happened, but that’s not where I am going, it is to when He would weep. You see, When His Imperial Majesty left Ethiopia in 1936 in Exile, He first went to where Iyesus Kristos Rose from the dead outside Jerusalem. At The Church Holy Sepulcher, He re-enacted the resurrection of Christ with Monks and Priests on the Roof of the Church in the late night hours. His Christ Like Energy and Appearance was shared across the world. For the First Time it was also public that Ethiopia had the Ark of the Covenant. The Blood of David and the Ark of Covenant, The King of Kings, for all to see as He proclaims the Power of the Resurrection of Christ. Haile Selassie I in Jerusalem Easter.maxresdefault

He would arrive in Bath, in the United Kingdom where He would spend 5 years in exile. It was during that time that we saw Marcus Garvey and many others feel that they had been betrayed. That Ethiopians were dying and His Imperial Majesty could save them but didn’t come. This was the Lazarus moment, where no one knew that by leaving Ethiopia He would save the World and become the voice of consciousness of the Earth for decades. No idea that He would light the fire liberate all of Africa and Asia. They didn’t understand for they knew not what Made Peace.

It was in the remarkable documentary ” In the Footsteps of the Emperor ” that I first heard of the first time He was seen weeping before others. His Imperial Majesty loved children, and in 1924 when He first went to Jerusalem He adopted 40 Armenians children that were left orphaned after the Armenian Genocide committed by Turkey. These children were be taking of as well as the 8 ( 7 Grand) children He had living at the FairField House in Bath. All had to be taking care of as well as many others abroad in school. His Imperial Majesty had a Church on the grounds as well as 3 Ethiopian Orthodox Priests that were always dressed in Black . It was at this same time as this article is being written presently, “The Feast of the Passover” That the Nanny of the Children of FairField House, Ruth Haskins, recalled The Emperor would wash the Priest’s feet as Christ did before His Crucifixion. She also witnessed that she saw HIM weep.

The House had a good radio and they were able to get a recording of what was going on in Ethiopia, and when it began to play, the sounds of bullets and screams filled the air. It seemed to never stop, recalls Ms. Haskins, before all the family as He sat upright, Head straight. ” …Everyone looked very solemn, the Emperor sat with His Hands on His knees.. very relaxed, His Hands at the back I already noticed were very badly popped, pocked, he had been umm,..sometime the children told me He had been in a battle, and the Italians had used Mustard Gas, and some of it had got on the back of the Emperor’s Hands, and so He had these quite sizable dents. And I suddenly realized that the tears where rolling down His Face, and splashing onto these damaged hands, and although I was only 16 I thought that was terribly sad, and it was of Great Significance, and I think that memory of The Emperor’s Tears will always stay with me.”   This spoke about in the documentary.In the Footsteps of the Emperor. Documentary and account of Haile Selassie Weeps.

She was right in its Significance. Once again why Christ Cried for Lazarus is multiplied by the Emperors Tears. There sadness still is even when there is the noblest of death. That through they have Life Eternal that there smiling face would be missed, that there voice wouldn’t be heard. He knew that though Resurrection was near, countless Ethiopia patriots where today not with us, so that we could be here today. Like how many children had to die for Christ to be born, so it this moment, tens of thousands of first born sons died so that  The Coming of the Lion and the Lamb could be full filled. Not only did they not die, but live forever both Here on Earth and Heaven, and their sacrifices are still bearing fruit. For because He as God and Man are Related to every one is who fighting for what is Righteous, Just and True, He feels their sorrow and pains. So much so that tears collect on that which brings every mind to the sacrifices that Jesus Christ made for us on the Cross. There is not greater Sacrifice anyone can give than that themselves in full, it is why Christ spoke and was heard when was on the Cross, being remembered because, ” reverent submission” and His peace. The Emperor sat with His Hands on His Knees Still, and His tears are His Supplication. His Power and Comfort in His ability to relate and be one in the valley of Death. Having been resurrected, yet still waiting for the moment that would resurrect the World, Africa, His Throne and Ethiopian Nation as ONE.

Essentially, these pills enhance the blood flow to the penis. cialis online purchase That moment of resurrection would occur in 1941 When His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I and Empress Itege Menen once again ascended the Throne. It was 5 years to the day, and like the five wounds that Christ had been inflicted with, Emperor Haile Selassie I lead a people who had been resurrected and whose wounds were still visible. He brought the Power of Jah’s Mercy by His Proclamation of Mercy where He teaches forgiveness, and reminds the people of Love. This speech, ” The Proclamation of Mercy ” is beyond prolific, it serves as message of the Fortitude that Ethiopia and Conquering Lion of Judah have for being examples of Christians. Ethiopia was the First to be Freed by the allied forces in WW2,  but it took far too long for the World to heed The Emperor’s warning, and now the fate of Ethiopia was unleashed globally. He had come with Mercy and Judgement with a tongue that could smite the nations. “Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.” Revelations 19:5.  His Imperial Majesty carried both the scepter and a rod of iron during His Entire Reign and would often be seen with the Rod of Iron publicly.  His Imperial Majesty would be the only Head of State to regain His Country and once again rule.

In the decades to come The Emperor showed the World How to Make Peace. He immediately started working on a replacement for the League of Nations and together with President Roosevelt and his wife from the USA, and Organized and Founded the United Nations. His and Her Imperial Majesties worked both locally and internationally to free the minds and bodies of people from the colonial past. He Founded the Organization of African Unity and worked tirelessly to free nations non violently from occupation and colonial empires. He also was willing to train soldiers from across Africa and teach them to fight for freedom. Nelson Mandela was one of these men.  There is so much I could write on, however I want to go now to when His Imperial Majesty weeps again, and what He said.

On the Passing of Empress Itege Menen. Feb. 15 1962

We are pleased with the speech Our Prime Minister delivered yesterday on behalf of Our Ministers and Our people concerning the demise of Her Imperial Majesty Itegue Menen in which he adequately described her kindness and virtues.

All of you knew her well but she was more intimately known by I. She was devoutly religious and did not lose her faith even in the time of hardship. During the memorable days of Our companionship We never had differences that needed the intervention of others. As Sarah was to Abraham, so was she obedient to I. Our wishes were mutual until we were separated by the Almighty. Her assistance for the good of the young, the old and the needy requires no testimony for they are greater than thoughts and words.

We have been extremely pleased to live long enough in the perfect union that enabled us to see our offspring, our grandchildren and our great grandchildren. We are thankful to the Almighty for having vouchsafed to us that long uninterrupted union which is not very common in the world today: There could be no more profound prayer for I to utter.

In spite of Our utmost efforts efforts to save her life in her time of illness, she was overtaken by the fate of Adam and passed away.

We cannot fly in the face of the Almighty, nor can We afford to be idle. Now that the time of mourning has come to an end, the public and our officials must attend to their duties. As idleness is injurious to the welfare of the country, as from Monday everyone should return to his work.

A large number of people have come from the Provinces to take part in Our mourning. Since We do not wish them to continue because this will disrupt normal life, it would be better for them to send two or three representatives with letters.

We are deeply touched by the expressions of grief both on the part of Our people and the foreign communities.

This is not the first time that Our people have joined Us in Our mourning. When Our beloved son, Prince Makonnen, passed away they expressed their grief in no less measure that We ourselves. They have even contributed of their own free will to erect a monument in his honour.

We pray the Almighty shall recompense you for your deeds.

When Itegue was sick the general public, following the events through the radio, shared Our anxiety. To the doctors and her personal attendants We owe a debt for their untiring assistance. May these tears We shed be accepted by God as price for peace in Ethiopia and in the world.”

In the closing Words HIM says once again in that which was echoed when Christ Cried in Jerusalem, and on the Cross. Luke 19:41  ”As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it” 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.”

His Tears He Prays be accepted as a price for Peace in Ethiopia and the World, that which was hidden from ours eyes. Not only is international peace hidden, but also the peace a Man and Woman share which He notes is ” not very common in the world today”.

It is because of Her that He weeps, and pronouncing it publicly, shares that which was hidden  ” We have been extremely pleased to live long enough in the perfect union that enabled us to see our offspring, our grandchildren and our great grandchildren. We are thankful to the Almighty for having vouchsafed to us that long uninterrupted union which is not very common in the world today: There could be no more profound prayer for I to utter.” True Peace. While in anguish He is still at Peace, and longing to share it with the World so that we may know The Almighty Power of Peace.

While calling death ” The Fate of Adam” He shows both His Divinity and Humanity at once. His Peace, therefore His Oneness.

The Third Time and last time it was recorded that The Root of David, Emperor Haile Selassie I wept was in Jamaica. It is there we see the Resurrection complete. It was there that He saw His Children, those who are called by His Name, Rastafari, after being massacred stand strong in the thousands without fear of death. The very presence of a Dreadlocked Rastaman in the city was punishable by a death sentence. Rastafari were the lowest of society and seen and treated terribly. They knew they may be murdered as they had in Coral Gardens a few short years before.

David Katz wrote: “ When the Imperial plane landed and Selassie appeared at the door, there was sheer pandemonium as hordes of Rastafari stormed the plane; after failing to calm the crowd, the Emperor wept, and retreated back into the aircraft, until Rasta leader Mortimer Planno finally achieved calm, allowing the Emperor to disembark.”

Here we see that in Great Joy The Emperor Wept, visibly there for all to witness, was the answer to the Prayers of both Christ and His Imperial Majesty,  sought as a supplication, that we may know what peace is made of. It was made evident by Mortimer Planno achieving ” Calm.” The Emperor disembarked and walked with the Rastafari and all the people.

“That experience is something I will never forget,” says promoter Copeland Forbes, who was chosen to be Selassie’s official car door opener. “I don’t know if you want to call it a miracle, but it was raining heavy, and when the plane popped over the clouds, the sun came out. When the plane touched down on the runway, the pilot pulled the window (open) and put out an Ethiopian flag, and the plane was surrounded by hundreds; I saw people leaning up by the plane wheel, smoking a chalice, and drum beating, so the official welcome party had to be abandoned.”

Rastafari showed no fear, just Rejoicing and Praise of the Almighty, while knives pointed at their throats, and jet fuel in the air, RASTAFARI charged forward and lit a fire on their chalices. They had already be martyred and returned.  Some speculate that if the Emperor hadn’t come to Jamaica, there wouldn’t be surge of Rastafari in the world today and that Reggae may have never become what it did. His Coming in Flesh, gave birth to an International Movement that would bring the Truth to Earth and Proclaim the Glory of Ethiopia, Beta Israel, Tribe of Judah. That He is both the Lion and Lamb. In His Resurrection we are Resurrected. To Be Peace, is to know Peace, and it Biblically Important to realize The King of Peace, was there in Genesis, and in Revelations. In the Order of Melchizadok, the King of Peace, His Imperial Majesty was Crowned 1930 while reciting Psalms 110. It is known that Melchizadok, is the first appearance of God in Flesh in the Scriptures, as the       “King of Salem”, As it is Peace that Emperor Haile Selassie I, The King of Kings Brings.

There are many speeches about Peace spoken by HIM that need study and sharing, and it is interlinked to that His Great Hope is that we can create a peaceful future, that is why it is so important to know what it is that makes peace occur. For so many have wept, that it wasn’t known how to achieve the peace needed for all mankind to be at one, and truly be righteous. His Imperial Majesty once said, ” Men were supposed to be the equals of the living angels who unceasingly sang praises before the eternal God. Had this been so, peoples of the world would not have been divided along lines of enmity. In truth there is no legitimate reason or good cause which justifies war.” page 40, of the English translation of My Life and Ethiopia`s Progress  Volume Two: Addis Abeba 1966 E.C

He also said on that same Christmas message: ” When He sacrificed himself at Golgotha for the atonement of our sin, He prayed with His last breath for the forgiveness of those who had tortured Him saying, ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do’. Shame on those of us who are Christians and do not follow the way of the Savior of the World, whose life was filled with kindness, humility, and martyrdom! If we lived by the laws he gave us and were worthy of being called Christian, peace would have reigned on this earth.”

Indeed in this time, the shame is on those who didn’t listen to either Iyesus The Christ or His Imperial Majesty, for they co-exist in The Power of the Trinity. Imagine what the Earth would look like if we had… There would be no more nuclear weapons, and human rights would be seen as God Given. That the Earth and its environment would have the respect due, and the World would be united in a common goal of working together to build hospitals and uplift society in general.  His Imperial Majesty being able to share those deeds through out the world, allowed ones to not just imagine but see it happen to a degree. His Example showed the same strength needed by Christ and Ourselves to be Good people, a life filled with kindness, humility, and martyrdom. He proved likewise as Christ did, that martyrdom isn’t the end, in fact both conquered death and have Resurrected! They have showed it isn’t about the flesh, but the Spirit, and what does a body mean when The Lion and Lamb lives in the Hearts of All. Waiting for all to know themselves as ONE. We all have the Holy Spirit in Us!  We  people are the Resurrected people, and in every Christian it should be evident in our lives that Our Lord and Savior Lives! That the King of Kings, and Conquering Lion of Judah lives, Within all of Creation, it is up to us to see HIM within. The Powers of the Holy Spirit has shown itself true by His Inspiration, Rastafari and Christians across the Earth have witnessed the Almighty Break their chains and deliver them. We See Christ within Ourselves, and Ourselves within Our Father and King, Emperor Haile Selassie I. Fulfilling the Power and Virtue of the Trinity. In His Name and For His Name was, is and forever will be, a pursuit of Peace for all. For in the name of the Nazarene, Yeshua, or Jahshua, is the extolling of Jah the Father, declaring that Jah is Salvation as the meaning in Hebrew. In the Name of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I,  is the acknowledgement that the Power of the Jah is in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Unified.  They do not speak of themselves but each other, they complete each other, as mankind and God complete each other. Like how man and woman complete each other, which the Emperor and Empress Reminds us Our Unity is the most profound prayer we could ever offer.

Thank you for your time, and contemplation. These are the topics and subjects that are most important in our life times, simple soul understandings. Why are we here, and what are we here to do. The answer of where are we and where is God is for us to see in the lives and teaching of the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God. How their tears are reflections of Our greatest hopes and dreams, to know would bring you peace. Peace be with you all, may we Rise from the dead together. Mighty in Our Deliverance and Comforted by His Peace. Let us bring peace into this world, through the knowing what brings peace. One Perfect Love.

Jah Rastafari. Atse Haile Selassie I. Power of the Trinity.

Selah.

In The Name of Jah The Father, Jah The Son, Jah The Holy Spirit. One Jah. Amen.

BIBLICAL1

The Rastafari Movement’s Global Powers and Advances.

Had a good reasoning with a Swiss Ras yesterday and it opened up the subject of how diverse and varied we are due to the influences of where we live and how the revelation of Rastafari reached us. In the case of Ghana, South Africa and Kenya, the movement has a different luster and has its own unique views of the Emperor that reflect years of local development so that there is a cohesive element that embraces their inborn African development. From New Zealand to New Mexico, the Indigenous First Nations have a strong love and attraction to Rastafari, the devotion to the cause has helped countless families and tribes find the importance of resisting colonialism and to look to HIM in a way that His Words guide and rise up the Nations to care more for the environment and the dignity they must carry in order to have a sustainable future.
We have Ras in Italy that have been organized for decades am have contributed internationally to encourage education and understanding of Ethiopic Studies and His Imperial Majesties importance in the Christian Faith. We have Ras from Japan and Germany that have used the music to inspire and unify the Nation, in a very unique way. Of course the Ras of the Caribbean have carried the torch and lit the movement with a fire of Biblical reasonings and Jamaican culture has merged with the movement in so many ways it is hard to not see West Indian influence in the movement everywhere. Because of the massive number of witness out of JA and St. Croix, St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados. Rastafari and the Islands have been interwoven in the minds of the general masses. Rastafari is a movement where we can see how some communities prosper and have a cultural understanding of unity and togetherness. Sometimes we see the opposite when it comes to how we handle situations and that can be regional more than based on the actual issue at hand. The Ras in Chile have shown an excellent representation of humility and devotion and that has brought an awareness world wide of togetherness. We have seen entire islands and countries choose Rastafari officially to be representative of their ideals, such as Malawi and Antigua and St Thomas. Our development is beyond a phenomena and is still very alive.
The Rastafari moment on the East Coast has been strong for decades, New York continues to be a stronghold as well as Florida and North Carolina, all of which have influenced and uplifted the whole. All these Ones are different, have different approaches and callings, some of which may be controversial, California has become the Reggae capital and yet it is important to hail the Ras that remember that Rastafari is a spiritual trod, not a money making venture. We have seen how millions of dollars can be made by sharing the music and it is a duty to remember music is prayer and should be honored as a gift to offer praise. The Rastafari movement in the UK is one I would love study, thank you for being strong and protecting the Fairfield House.
Finally the Rastafari Movement in Ethiopia, the center of it all. This is where many of us will meet, and realize how diverse we are, how much we have to build on, and what we never knew is helping or holding us down. Ethiopia, is a place of purpose and potential, everything is in your face and unlike most places, everyone has heard the name of the King of Kings, ( how much they know or what they think is a whole other topic) it is evident that to start from Ethiopia in a offering of the soul, is the Holiest of Holiest. Ethiopia will bring to life the importance of what happens when we do or do not listen to the Emperor. To Understand that classism is the enemy, and Our God and King, Loved Us All without Partiality.
You must be scared to know the fact, but that is actually true.

The Ethiopia Rastafari Houses, are built, how we maintain them will be seen.
I haven’t spoken about race because in this article, because in each location there are varied backgrounds and languages, so many that it cannot be simply generalized, we are a collective. We are everywhere, even in Canada! Every Color working for the King in our own unique way. It brings a great joy and also awareness, that we should see our Iverse Backgrounds, as a strength, and tool. Our lack of knowing should increase our desire to know. I am proud to be part of this trod, and I pray that we can come close as children of His Imperial Majesty to Honor our King and Queen’s Vision and work to Achieve that peace world wide. I pray we see and learn from each other and realize that we are our nations greatest resource.
From the High Deserts of New Mexico I salute you all, and pray the Almighty Creator Protect and Guide Us to Do His Work. Keep Building together. Hail Rastafari. In His Perfect Name, Negus Nagast, Qedamawai Haile Selassie I.

Similarities/lessons of the first Christians & Modern Rastafari.

Haile Selassie I Reading1

The movement as we know it titled Rastafari in its early stages of developing has more to offer on the original Christian theology than ones may realize.  The original Christians being the apostles, Christ’s family with his brother James at the head. For the first 60 years Rome didn’t control or have a set doctrine concerning Christ. It was in that time we can compare and contrast Rastafari of today internationally and especially in Ethiopia.

Most can agree that the New Testament that most have read has been heavily influenced by Peter and Paul. One of whom had never met Christ. Let us go to that power struggle and compare and contrast. Their ideas are different from that of James.

Original Doctrine according to the book of James did not include: Virgin Birth, Christ being The Creator, or the Resurrection. These were pushed by Peter, Paul and the Popes of Rome, whom were not chosen by Christ nor were part of his blood linage. The book of James affirms Christ’s message being that of sound wisdom supported by the Torah. It was focused on communion with Judaism not distain. A completion and confirmation and yet a next step. Some could and did compare him with many others, and today ones can find remarkable similarities with Confucius, Buddha, and Krishna.

Present Day: The Rastafari Movement was inspired by the Coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1930 which made ones proclaim H.I.M. as the Messiah and or The Creator. His placement on the Earth geographically, His relationship to all faiths can be seen as a confirming of Abrahamic Based Faiths. and if ones study further, Native American, Ancient Egyptian, East Indian and Buddhist faiths all have teachings that extol The Trinity Black God and King and specifics that mystically remind the viewer of HIM if they know of King Selassie I’s Life. His contribution to the evidence of Scriptural text makes the next step further enlightening.

In both situations there is a confirmation of the prior faith as there is as a competition. That the appearance of both personalities, challenges the set religions which will be at odds with the direction the new faith may take.  As The Conquering Lion of Judah Emperor Haile Selassie I is the confirmation, He is also the completion because in His Truth, as in core of Christ’s message is the end of classism, colonialism and wealth based-self aims for ego glorification and a renewed focused on the ever presence of The Most High within and around, embodied as Love in the act of kindness and consideration as is shown to us by the Father. Sure this paraphrased, still whether we look at the “spiritualism” of a man or the “revolutionary” thought behind a more just and “godly” society, both are the hallmark of a Messiah or Avatar. It is historically evident that Haile Selassie I was a prophet and did tell us the future, and in the literal meaning of the word in Hebrew of prophet he was also a “dissident” which He certainly was as well. He encompassed every level of Divinity while leaving the word still to be explored.

Emperor Haile Selassie I offers a more intense offering, one that is recent, verifiable, massive, public, filmed and photographed. Clearly prophetic and based on the dream of everlasting peace once mankind decides to end classism, racism, bigotry and malicious self interest.  His position is Supreme because He is asking Us, to save the world knowing we are endowed with the Blessings of the Creator, and it is the responsibility of the collective. That this is Wise. His teachings are beyond theology or religion, and yet Rastafari as a ” Faith” continues to lean on precursors for understanding rather than the unlimited approach His Imperial Majesty shows through innovation and creativity. This is a stark difference, because as most pray for The Creator to Save the masses, Rastafari through Haile Selassie I teachings places the Power and Responsibility on Man-Woman-kind, being endowed with the presence and instructions of the Highest Authority, Emperor Haile Selassie I From Zion’s Throne of David and as Ruler of Judah and Israel. Rastafari sights that the presence of His Imperial Majesty is the ” Saving” that the future is in our hands and based on the choices mankind makes to listen to Wisdom and awaken for themselves.

In Contrast, Early Christians, struggled to find acceptance amongst Hebrews because they found though there is importance and relevance in the Torah, a new day had come. One Major difference, similar with Rastafari today, That for Jew and Gentile, that the Faith of Christ is that of fully having faith in the Most High, and in humility and service, Being the Living Word is to know that He will deliver, guide and be pleased with His Creation based on the intentions of his heart, not with burnt offerings, or attendance at festivals. We will not be judged by our clothing but of the fabric of our commitment to The Most High, which includes being willing to be martyred. The Core message being that the Heavens have elected a specific example. This one who was anointed is called the Lamb because he gave his life and would lead the way for Lions. Both the Early Christians as well as Rastafari movement felt that this “Jew/African” teaching foremost was a message directly to them, however, through the clarity of the words of both Christ as well and HIM, it was clear that race, and nationality, doesn’t impede on the importance of Right Governance and Salvation for All including “Gentile/Europeans”.

The Rastafari core message is that His Imperial Majesty is elect of the Heavens, The Almighty in Flesh.  The distinction of the Emperor’s Ideas and actions that made HIM revolutionary to the ways of man, challenging to them to be humble, in service and ready to live eternally with dignity without attachment to ones physical being. His overall concern was not to convert, but to drive out evil concepts from the minds of men as options.  It is a universal message that is based on Mercy, and through His Teachings there is no separations between men and their Creator, no matter what faith they profess. There are distinctions and the overall consensus to describe Our divine relationship is The Power and Virtue of The Trinity and Triune. The Meaning of the Name, : Haile Selassie I.

The Name of Christ as well as the present day doctrine that both East and Western Churches have chosen to adopt, is not Hebrew, and the changing of his name and doctrine, the marginalizing and denial of his brothers inheritance, blaming the jews for his death by those who present the doctrine behind Peter and Paul, who had a lesser understanding than Mary Magdalen and his brother James. The Roman hijacking, is remarkable in blatant anti- African-Semitic theology, translations, and description of names and appearance, and so is insulting to African-Semitic Culture. These traditions passed into Ethiopia where the placement of Ethiopia’s art and artifacts lend to the historical ties and differences. One Example is that Pontus Pilot is a saint, while Jews are looked as the betrayers of Christ. His Imperial Majesty would go against His own ancient law in order to not behave in a way that is clearly swayed by “popular opinion” and that Ethiopia as declared for centuries as Judah, would submit to its King, and know He is the King of Israel.  Please keep in mind that this is before the occupation of Palestine and was based on non-partial justice.

Emperor Haile Selassie I, spoke of how ” Ethiopia has one of the oldest versions of the Bible.” noting that there teachings have a totally different root, but is still just a VERSION. That the actual teachings are understood through discipline and commitment to humanity and to the least of these. In the vastness of African Identity Rastafari has been inspired by HIM to teach the precepts of Equality, Justice, Collective Security, International Morality, Nuclear non proliferation, the end of classism, racism, respect to environment and agriculture, and respect to sovereignty and cultural protection.

One the Spiritual comparison, The relationship between God and Man has been an ancient topic that needed consensus for many societies to work. The Census that the Orthodox Christian Churches on the relationship of Christ and God was that ” His Humanity and Divinity cannot be separated.” and I would suggest neither can ours. This theology is perfectly demonstrated by His Imperial Majesties every action. So much so, it upset many including Jamaica and England when He wouldn’t deny Rastafari claims that He is Our God and King, or when He celebrated “pagan” festivals in Ethiopia with tribesmen. To the constant faith He held in the potential of Humanities Divinity and Divine plan for Peace on Earth. His Hope and Expectation that we can overcome the impossible was steady and sure and based that God is with Us, Here and Now. This is the same as Christ message that the Kingdom of Heaven is Within and that God is Here and Now, as well as Before and After. He made sure to translate both the “Bible” and the Quran in Amharic so the people could read it for themselves. Liken to Christ, HIM came to tell and teach Religions, not to be taught by them. This cannot be overstated, Haile Selassie and Christ both had the authority to reveal through acts the holy books, as well as direct them for their own improvement. Both men were not received in their own lands well, being that the Church and Temples were most concerned about education and not the exploration of a greater moral questions challenging their status quo.

When we look at how the “After-life” has been a teaching and method for control, Both the early Christians as well as Rastafari stand out for stating that God is Love and I am the evidence of The Most High’s Love Here and Now, that Heaven is within. That we do not work for the rewards of Heaven above or fear of a judgment day, for that is vain, we don’t say it won’t happen, we aren’t worried about it. We work for that which is right because its right. Without apology or fear of persecution. Justice and Universal truth, is what makes both the message of Christ and King Selassie both Spiritual and Revolutionary. Some would observe that this is inborn, and some that it is simplistic, they are correct, its common sense to one that is not chained to conformed norms that compromise to injustice. Unfortunately most people are conditioned into being subservient and become fearful standing up for the littlest of infractions let alone for the those who suffer most. Hence why the idea of Love and God are popular, and not having Love being the policy of all actions is when man complicates and dooms himself. True Love and Wisdom do not expire, and are basically the same.
When any of the partners faces a sexual problem, the other partner should show empathy and consideration. What starts off thick slowly becomes thin, and there’s absolutely nothing that can http://robertrobb.com/disappointing-ballot-measure-debates/ viagra online consultation be done about it. Amazingly, cialis 40 mg was not produced while using the sole goal of treating erectile dysfunction; instead, the thought for developing the drug is always to keep your teenage dating profile as respectable as possible. There are a lot of perks of having tadalafil pills as the pill for treating impotence.
Emperor Haile Selassie I in His Laws and Decades of being on the World stage as an elder statesmen showed the answer to modern problems with ancient and modern loving solutions. That it takes more than HIM, it takes Us, realizing we are One Body. Making Christ’s teachings on global platform is and was a challenge for nations to except their place in a small world.  Fruits bloomed as the United Nations, The Ethiopian World Federation, and the Organization for African Unity which are among a few. The EWF in hope to give representation to the masses of African in the Diaspora, The OAU, In the Dream of Lasting peace by and for Africans, and well as the United Nations which as a vehicle to collective security was created to do what the League of Nations refused to do. Emperor Haile Selassie I burned the League out of existence and collectively birthed a new day and plan and body. Similarly Christ had to rebuke Satan and can be liken to Mussolini offered to bribe The King of Kings who burned out the devil never selling out, setting the standards for future expectations.

Its important to note that the subject is early Christian experience and behaviors that are similar to the modern Rastafari movement, not a comparison of Christ and Haile Selassie I which though may overlap is a totally other subject.

Clear similarities, is that all established places for worship  and veneration are scattered and some-what infant stage, making it so that even an agreed doctrine has not been established. Liken to the early Christians we have both Jews and Christians that call us heretics as well as many locals of Ethiopia, while also having an massive influence on both Jews and Christians within and outside Ethiopia. The Gospel message as spread by Thomas in India, can be liken also to the huge number of African/Native Americans as well as the Caribbean population that have found Ethiopia and Christ in His Kingly Character as there spiritual home and the message being that which supports the fight against spiritual and physical suppression and oppression. Likewise it is not recognized by the majority of Christians who due to a Roman Perspective see anything African as pagan and as the Portuguese could not believe that the Christians as well as Jews had been in India for hundreds of years, still sought to religiously colonize them.  This has happen to the Ethiopian Jews by “project moses” and the subsequent treatment of Ethiopians in present day Israel.  Also, Ethiopian Christians, making outside ideas and perspectives overshadow their own cultural and historical relevance and ties to the Orthodox Church, and to this date have not had the history of Emperor Haile Selassie I and have a distaste and distrust of those who do know The Emperor in the population. Liken to the first Christians, we are looked at with intrigue, and internationally hunted down by those structures that feel threatened. Many governments have been officially told to arrest and kill anyone they suspect of being a Rastafari from Jamaica, Ethiopia, and the United States.  Further discrimination internationally for the use of Herbs that are Biblically and historically important are scapegoats to imprison people in color and specifically  at its inception in Jamaica to arrest Rastafari. It is like telling early Christians that any anointing oil or wine is an excuse to arrest, and maybe kill them.

What are the methods of hijacking and gentrifying currently and what can the Rastafari movement learn from the early Christians to avoid? I would say thus, we have not as a whole been wrapped up in the “super-natural” and that we have desire for truth and realism that can be comprehended. In this tradition, His Imperial Majesties disappearance was not a subject for early followers. Whether there was a body found or not didn’t change who He was, and that we always acknowledge He was a Man. The most curios and unusual circumstances surrounding the last days He was seen and disappearance became more of a subject in the last 17 years after several so-called funerals. Likewise the teachings of Christ were more important than His Resurrection to James and Thomas.

Liken to Roman times of Christ, many who infiltrated the early Christian Movement where basically CIA. We cannot underestimate the desire for those in power to try and identify themselves with the cause though they are enemies. We will see this in Hollywood, with “Shootas” sent to NY by the CIA, we have seen it in JA, with the setting up/ murdering reggae artists. In a more public light ones like “Snoop Lion” as well as many politicians and there wives will try and represent what they do not know.

We are in a time where this is still massive amounts of information that has not been collected about His Imperial Majesty, and in concert with what has been, there are a number of new books that will have to be included as Sacred text for the future Generations of Christians and Rastafari. This collection has yet to have a focused place of translation and ability to share on a massive scale for free. Many have worked on this endeavor and have been the only venues for many to have a selection of the many books that pertain to the Word of HIM Haile Selassie I. Salute to the LOJ Society as well Ras Sakuo of Chicago, Mr. Jim Marshall for giving years of service to this matter. Still we have to be aware of false statements and photos that are credited to the Emperor incorrectly, and separate the wheat from the chaff.

The movement would be wise to also remember that though Haile Selassie I is a Judeo-Christian Emperor, His Teachings are for all. That He was send for Gentile and Jew, Pagan and Muslim, That His Davidic Blood line, is secondary to His Word. That His actions and faith are greater than His amazing birth. It was amazing and important, but like the idea of a monarchy, Haile Selassie I Himself surpasses all the Kings that have ever been. His life is the evidence, not His Death, and even His Faith is larger than that of one denomination.

Where we go from here will be interesting, like Love itself we are going ever where..When it comes to the recognized houses of Rastafari, Our efforts in collaboration and growth are necessary on many subjects. Our destiny is with that of Africa. Our work for Repatriation and building with Africa and Africans will give the room to compare many spiritual concepts and will allow us to have knowledge to choose the Right. Our focus must be on the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, with guidance from Scriptures in order to have the Spiritual Power to make social change. Our Collective responsibility is to all of Creation, and as ambassadors of The Conquering Lion of Judah, we have a duty to where ever it is seen to stand in dissent to injustice. If we do our job properly, like the early Christians, many of us will have to fight and give our life for a cause greater than our happiness. It would also be wise to understand that His Imperial Majesties teachings are a rallying point that can invite ones to learn of why we call HIM the Most High, and similar to Thomas who made the Truth of His Love the message.

As it has been for as long as warriors and the righteous have sacrificed their lives for the collective we have honored and remembered them. This nature of the greatness of any teacher is in the followers ability to cary thru for generations in pursuit of that vision. In more ways than we can state, we follow in a line of priests, hermits, revolutionaries, soldiers, African Warriors, slaves and kings that have given there lives so that we could have the knowledge and legacy that we carry. We are the apostles, dissenters and modern day Nazarites, Our future is in our diligence and remembering The King of Kings is with Us  and Here Forever.
