Greetings in the Most Holy Name of Emperor Haile Selassie the First. The Conquering Lion of Judah, Supreme Head of Humanity and the Sign and Seal of these times. The thoughts that have been inspired are for the benefit of international salvation. Today wasn’t a day like any other, it was the first time I was able to reason with Ras Sadiki-I, whom The Almighty chose to build the New Temple for the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia. This is a man that I have long felt was a vessel of The Most High on epic and prophetic levels, that his calling was a blessing to Rastafari internationally. He was chosen to humble everyone, by being himself, and allowing himself to be used to bridge the East and West. I will not go into his history, I will allow the reader to learn for themselves of the under and inner takings it took for the Temple to be completed, and how symbolically it represented and represents a change in the presence and importance of Rastafari spiritually for the redemption of the World and Ethiopia.
We reasoned on many things and contextually came to the same place of where and why we as Africans abroad are stuck in a social construct of pagans. We believe that the workings of the pagans have the same basic objective, which is the subjugation of the majority and especially the true children of Israel. We also believe that colonialism is the foreign and domestic policy of the devil. The historical advances of humanity in different regions really show that The Scriptures and the God of Israel are relatively new and foreign to most of the world to this day, and whom most culturally continue the practices of those that are polytheistic, local and often full of demons. In many areas of the world, reading is new to masses, and until recently information in general was controlled by those who control circulation. We shared similar thoughts on the advantages and dis-advantages of Christianity and how it has also allowed a Gentile philosophy be introduced since the teachings of Paul. I hope you are following.
The blatant contrasts of seeing the battle that is part of the Biblical context is reflective in the confusion of how and why Rastafari is misunderstood and still overstands. Europe has controlled the Bible as well as education in general which has made it so that a Euro-centric perspective has made the Scriptures both widely available and widely misunderstood. It is difficult but this is the method in the madness.
It was prophetic, and divine destiny that Iyesus Kristos be born from before the Creation of Humanity. It was prophetic and divine destiny that has Emperor Haile Selassie I with us as a fulfillment of set Prophecies. It is divine prophecy that Africans Unite and lead humanity into a peaceful co-existence. Starting there, we have the Vision of Jah from Jah, and the adversary is all that stands in the way of this Vision complete. Understanding that this destiny was not up for discussion, there were Angels that resisted the importance of Christ as a Man and Son of God, to be over them as angels. The attack against the least was already underway before we were created. The Earth is the Most Highs, and not the playground for angels and demons to dance, it is the foot stool of God and is here to embrace His Children. In His Fatherly Love, the desire to first try and explain to satan ( an angel), why that Jah has made Christ to lead men, made satan disagreeable. Jah shall make Himself known as a God of Love, Protection, Righteousness, and Non-partiality. To be just, this didn’t get thru so well either.
From the first books until the last, we can see that satan has a certain amount of freedom and attention from the Most High, which is partly what separates the God of Abraham from other deities. The God Of Abraham has a Fatherly Love to create understanding even in the face of stubbornness…It was destined that Christ come for the Gentiles as well as the house of Jacob. There has been a Unity factor at work from the beginning, despite the known obstacles that were also pre-destined. This is moving from before man to present, to understand why from a Scriptural point of view why we are here now, and the importance of The Root of David, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I’s work in the cause of peace and co-existence.
Being in the west, we haven’t learned that spiritual atonement is about listening more than telling…that it is about reminding and learning over converting and outward affirmation. We do right for right sake, not for a reward in the after-life. We as Rastafari have a Livity, which is to say we do not divide the spiritual from the material. Religion is like a college, what you show reflects only your diligence, not that of the school. In short it is not about the outcome, it is about the attempt, and experience in the work to make it as good as it can be, to study for ourselves and build ourselves in education…Hence, what comes forth is not to be seen as doom, but of the repercussions from set behaviors. We can either choose to stand far from destructive ways, or with them. The Knowledge of the times that we live through and the lens of secular and spiritual leads to the journey of Rastafari in a new phase.
In this modern time, Rastafari is in the Third and Fourth generations of H.I.M. We have seen the space and distance ones can go when not listening to the Word of the King of Kings, and the example of Iyesus Christos. The United Nations, in which man’s last hope will be for world peace and collective security has great power. The importance of representation by the Ethiopian World Federation in the U.N. is that we have a public, and constant view and statement for the world on behalf of the diaspora. It is to bring a people who share the identity of African Heritageat home and abroad into the discussion. What has been labeled as a “Pan African” perspective needs to have international ears and representatives working together internationally. The United Nations in InI’s view is a crucial player in the re-working of a system that has been designed to give voice and reason on behalf of Peace Loving Nations, most notably Ethiopia, its thirteenth founding member. We as Rastafari, must do our best to be ambassadors against nuclear proliferation, and for human rights and justice as so set by The Root of David, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I. Our goals are common goals for most nations and people.
There are those that stand in the way, and this is why the restructuring of the U.N. is essential in order that permanent members of the security council do not have the ability to override or overtake the majority. It is also essential for enabling the cause of peace and implementation of collective security.It is appropriate, in due time, and is spiritually a duty for Rastafari as children called by His Name, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie Ito have a permanent space at the UN and to have a voice in international issues, for the benefit of all humanity at large. Africans in the diaspora who do not have a government other than that of Ethiopia, as a World Federation, must see the E.W.F. is the avenue for representation and a world voice. These are some of InI thoughts shared on the purpose of what we must do, in order to try and encourage a future where we do not bring on a nuclear war or other reckless and unnecessary dangers that are posed on each one us.
We have a duty internationally as those who follow in the example of Christ and His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I. We are here to Love Ethiopia as Zion, and to also show how nationalism in Ethiopia encourages redemption and love to all the world, for Our Creator is not localized, He sits set apart. We have an Ethiopian Perspective of God, the same perspective that was taught to Moses and would create what are ” The Children of Israel.” The same God, that “Arabs” would embrace as well as Europeans in their congregations. It is the God of Ethiopia, from Genesis to Revelation. it is a North and East African Our-story. We have reached a time when saying you’re a Christian means little, and this goes for most faiths, including ours. What is important is the action of doing and showing, and if the judgment does hit tomorrow, our voices were not silent. As much as many of us would like to make it a better world, it may not happen, it may get worse. With this in mind, remember this isn’t about an outcome that is pre-destined, it’s about your part to play. It is about your conscience, which both Ras Sadiki-I and I agreed is Jah, and let your conscious guide. Jah’s Evidence is an inborn inception that is why all of humanity has the potential, it is up to us to have faith even through the illusion of death, for we have faith in Jah, The Ruler above and below.
The Importance of Global Redemption by the God of Israel is about getting closer to the God of Ethiopia, of Abraham, Isaacand Jacob. We see Zion as Ethiopia, and His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie Ideclares that He sits on the Throne of Zion. Jah Loves the Gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. (PS. 87) The Blessings in the Bible differ from the Blessings of the Church, the organization as a whole is not the Word. BEING THE WORD INDEED, IS IN DEED BEING THE WORD. We see Rastafari as a Word Event, beyond a world event. We See Rastafari as the repairing of the breach and Judge. In that judgement and from His Throne we cite the modern need for African Unity and Redemption, Repatriation and self-determination. We reasoned on the importance of repatriation, and how Caribbean governments are becoming more welcoming of having Rastafari in governmental positions and with the opportunity to expand within the government. The ushering in of Africans abroad into Africa is a vision that is happening, but the challenges of community remain an issue. That issue has at large to do with the state of the identity of Africans in the diaspora and the importance of African sovereignty and representation in the future. We see Africans leading, but few African leaders, and as those who have seen the corruption of the West, we can help our brothers and sisters not to be fooled by state of the art corruption which is Babylon in the East.
A side tadalafil overnight effect called priapism (prolonged erection) may occur in rare cases. Furthermore, even the male fails to enjoy their levitra sale sexual life. It is the official tadalafil 20mg españa online platform of Hashmi pharmacy to reach to all the needy patients around the world. The Rome IV book has a comprehensive review of this information.
We agreed that we have a duty to see that the influx of information and the privilege to learn of His Imperial Majesty and African History has changed rapidly and that the difference of exposure to education has set us on a new course. Highlighting the importance of encouraging ones to read in order to have an understanding to African problems and solutions is crucial including the learning of Amharic. The learning of Amharic is offering of God, to speak in His Kingdom as a Free, emancipated, and un-colonial being. Self-appreciation of our culture can benefit the world and be an example to others of a rising sleeping giant, embracing itself. Africa is what makes Blackness have relevance. Without Africa the western construct of the idea of Black is void. Black and Black identity is at its heart based on African Unity due to the loss of language, land and culture, making the collective bond.It is revolutionary because of the importance of African Unity, without a love for Africa, Blackness becomes the reaction to European dominance and social designs through allowed stereotypes. Our roots cannot be that of the United States ( as well as other nations) conquest for our bodies, but the Soul of Africa that preserves us and calls us forward to Her.
Our reasoning of why Africa is where we as those loyal to the Word should go is because of the Bible and the end of times. That Nuclear states will war with each other and those nations that do not participate in satan’s nuclear war will survive. That due to the ignorance and greed of satan’s colonial ways, the world will follow in the reckless example of a heartless bully disguised as whichever country puts its trust in nuclear weapons. That we have not yet seen how the Anti-Christ will try to subject us into bondage in this time, it has yet to happen. That it will get worse and many will try and leave at the last moment to no avail. Whether or not we like it, it has looked that way in many regards since the day I was born. That the warning continues, and cries, we need to move toward a more civilized society as Rastafari and humanity at large as quick as possible.
We reasoned on the Crown Council of the House of Solomon, and the Monarchy in present times. After hearing Prince Ermias Sahle Selassie I speak in Chicago about how we may have to accept that HIM Haile Selassie I is the last king we may see, the importance of working together in every ability for the betterment of mankind is what is needed in a world that is in a state of emergency. We found that the building of African Unity, and Ethiopian Unity is more pressing than restoration of The Monarchy. Ethiopia needs strength and leadership on a ground level, with the clarity of equality, human and environmental rights in an Ethiopian way. The importance of Rastafari as a common bond throughout most Ethiopian tribes is important but the social politics makes it that trust and understanding is build by Ethiopians for Ethiopians, a result of hundreds of years of not trusting foreigners.The best thing we can do is to be watchful, supportive to positive change, and to learn Amharic.
The new phase was started in 2012 when Ras Sadiki-I was told by Jah via the Guardian Monk in Axum to launch the building and to set the stones for the New Temple For Ark of Covenant. As a collective, we were asked to build a new temple and work to repair the dome (head) of the St. Mary’s of Axum Church, the House and Temple of the Ark of Covenant built by Her Imperial Majesty Empress Menen Asfaw and His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I. The literal and symbolic healing and bridge began there. It was also when the internet and the abilities to have access to worldwide Rastafari and African current/past events increased, a new time where those who use technology can speed up the ability to educate themselves and others. Allowing more perspectives and broadens a bigger view of reality. Due to that, and the generation Ras Sadiki-I is in has allowed the process to be filmed and shared with the world through the internet. For the most part, especially those who have studied Rastafari for years, remember when getting Black books was hard, and many were made illegal by Jamaican governments and South African governments, as well as seen as contraband in the United States.Most of us were getting oral accounts, passed through years and across miles. We had photocopies in the west of H.I.M. Speeches, and that’s because there were photocopier machines. I still have InI large manila folders full of copies from the “Beat” magazine of the one page in each issue with a new speech from the Emperor. We saw very few videos, in contrast to today. Still new videos and photos are posted of His Imperial Majesty every day that have not been seen. We are in an infant age of learning, and the ability to really research is like never before. The generation that has become computer literate will benefit from the expansion of African thought and history like never seen before on this planet. Likewise, our ability to find out, be involved and come out of the mountains has increased to the level where the building of a larger and more international audience in unity is at our fingertips.
The challenges we face in this time are several, first being the damage done by the lack of mature meditation on the Scriptures. Many Rases have had the experience of being at odds of having a biased perspective of the Bible, due to etymology and interpretation. Many are not aware of the controversy of the teachings of Paul and that the first Christians had issues with the doctrine that Paul was preaching, and its place in the furthering of understanding. Both human understandings as well over a thousand years of theological reasonings have occurred where the dismal of the entire book was not an option. Neither should it be for us, who also should have active reasonings about esoteric and clear meanings in the different books of the Bible individually. The importance of understanding the pagan mind and the difficulty of foreigners,to comprehend the depth of the Word is not something for us to look down on western prespectives about but to realize how their environment has ill prepared them to look at their actions in a moral way. When reading the word and looking at Rastafari through a prophetic and Biblical lens, It brings African Liberation to the Children of the One Jah, and the breaking of the bondage of Babylon in modern times. Liberation theology is redemption and salvation theology at its heart, which is why putting God back into the process is key, internationally for success in being truly liberated. Our expansive awareness of God in Flesh, and in the Body of Emperor Haile Selassie I, not only affirms Christ and the faith held in Him, but also calls us to heal and share with the masses a Creator that has chosen to be with us, as one of us, for all of us. When Ones stop telling God how He should be, we can open up to the mysteries that we still are called to have an open mind to matters that are beyond human comprehension, like Angels, Ark Angels, and the devil. It is wise to walk softly in order to learn something no book or the internet can show you, the Spiritual World that is running all of it. We need to gather in reverence of that which we can’t explain away which has called us to reason on these heavenly matters. We can call it the Holy Spirit that need Us to heal together and rise together.
Ras Sadiki-I shared some experiences from the Panama gathering of Rastafari, and the importance of Panama logistically for the continual spread of Rastafari through South America and the World. It still has held the flame that helped shape Marcus Garvey and Leonard Howell. There have been continual gatherings and meetings there for decades and it is a hot spot for the Rastafari community. I was pleased that Ras Sadiki-I spoke to a congregation in Panama and would encourage ones to link with everyone from colleges, churches, and Rastafari festivals who have a vested interest in the works he has done and is here to do. I think men like Ras Sadiki-I should have the proper respect and audience given and elevate him to be a representative teacher and example of how the Most High is using us here and now. That like ones like Akae Beka, the word, sound and power of the truth from a holy plateau should been widely heard and prayed on. These are teachers first, musicians second. We have Kings amongst us, we have a duty to listen and heed when the conscious speaks.
These are just a few of the topics that were touched on, and the Mission Itinues. I thank you for reading and hope the topics mentioned move us to take to heart the great responsibility to preserve, expand and implement the Teachings of His Imperial Majesty in a sure and courageous way. In a legacy of Ethiopians that have lived and given their all so that we could stand today. For the Children of the Diaspora, to show them the promised land, and to help get home. For Humanity to see that its destruction is its own fault, and it is up to us become something bigger than we have ever been. Members of a new race. This is a new day, let’s take a moment to see what Garvey would have done if there was an internet, what would Emperor Haile Selassie I say or watch. What would the King do..? .let’s do that. We give thanks for the opportunity and blessing to be here today, We thank You Jah for all the Love You have shown humanity, may our works be acceptable and fruitful in Your Sight and for Your Namesake. Give thanks for the presence of the Conquering Lion of Judah in these last days, that we have seen the face of Jah. We Thank You and pray for the renewal of humanity and the birth of an age of Righteousness in Your Perfect Way. In the Name of Jah the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. One JAH. Be Seme Ab, We Welde We Menfus Kiddus, Ahadu Amlak Amen.
Judgement Day. Inspired by Ras Sadiki-I
