"Rasta is Reality"
1) The Shroud of Turin. A 2000-year old photographic negative bearing His Majesty's Image as He appeared to Israel, imprinted pon HIM burial cloth - complete with the dreads of a "Nazrawi." This miracle has never been fully explained. However, if there is any doubt as to the Identity, hold the recanstructed photo from this negative next to any photo of Selassie I. You will sight up the Faada who shall rule Earth foriva.
[ Since this was originally written, I-man have discovered an even more
striking miraculous photograph of Our Lord, that clearly reveals His True
I-dentity:
The "Holy Face Icon" of the Church of S. Bartholemew of the Armenians, Genoa,
Northern Italy; throughout the Middle Ages, was reputed to be the cloth Holy
Mandylion portrait "made
without hands" and given by 'Iyesus to His disciple Tomas, with instructions
to send it with Tadiewos, along with a written letter, to the King Abgar
V of Edessa, followin 'Iyesus ascension into Heaven. A plate clearly
showing this Icon as it looked before it was 'examined' in 1969 may be sight
up in the book Holy Faces, Secret Places by Ian Wilson. On
p. 128 Wilson says of it:
"Regarded as too holy for public gaze, it was kept in strictest seclusion in Edessa, but then in AD 944 transferred in triumph to Constantinople."
Later, as Byzantine power crumbled, it was presented by Emperor John V Palaeologus to the Doge Montaldo of Genoa who had helped him against the Turks; Montaldo in turn bequeathed the reknowned image upon his death in 1384, to the Church wherein it still reposes.]

2) The Zend Avesta is a slightly deficient series of traditions of the Ancient Persians, that may be traced through the sons of Madai to the teachings and prophecies of his grandfather, Noah. This book cantains much that is pure alongside much that is garbled or off-base. Yet the Messianic doctrine found in the Zoroastrian religion will have a ring of truth to many of us today. It holds that the Messiah is to make only three appearances on Earth. First, as a teacher and a doctor, who is called in Persian Hoshetar. Secand, incognito, as a social canscience for the world - Hoshetar-Mah. Finally, as the Eternal King who presides over the Resurrection, Judgemant Day, and the Everlivin Kingdom on Earth. His name - Saioshyans.
3) The most specific prophecy in Judaeo-Christian scriptures foretelling His Majesty's reign is the Apocryphal IV Ezra (or II Esdras) chapter 7 (RSV), verses 25-29. This clearly describes the Temporary Messianic Kingdom of the Last Days. The various ancient translations differ as to its duration - those that say 30, 60, 400 and 1,000 years may all be found - but in retrospect, perhaps now we may say that these are all errors for 40! This Kingdom ends with the Messiah's death, followed by the death of all mankind "until the Earth is silent for 7 days just as in the beginning," then the Resurrection of the Dead, Judgemant, and Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
A similar ancient prophecy (Fikkare Iyesus) is found in the Ethiopia, adding that there will be a Messianic King of the Solomonic line, who is figuratively called Tewodros (from the Greek for "Gift of God") and is said to rule for 40 years - - (not to be confused with the king who took this name in the 19th century having usurped the throne for a brief time. See Levine, Wax & Gold, p. 157) I'm still looking for a copy of Fikkare Iyesus...! The "Beta Israel" or Ethiopian Jews might well hold some pieces of the puzzle too, as apparently they have long called the Messiah Whom they expect, by the name "Theodore"! Of course, the Europeans in earlier times may not have been left out either, with their various traditions of a "Prester John"!
It has also come to my attention that there is another obscure old work called 'Hebrew Apocalypse of Elijah' (Sefer Eliyahu) that in 5:36-39, mantions the well known prophecy of the Temporary Messianic Kingdom of 40 years toward the End Times... Also Rabbi Akiba ben Joseph of the 1st century AD maintains that the correct prophecy is for the Messiah to lead his Temporary Kingdom for 40 years...(Midrash on Psalm 90:15) Also, ironically enough, this is the very view ascribed to Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus ina the Babylonian Talmud...!!! And even as late as ca. 1000 AD, yet another Rabbi, Hai Gaon, also taught this doctrine of a 40-year Messianic reign to come near the Last Days (Responsum on Succah 52a)
Then there is also the Muslim Hadith of Abu Hurayrah (an associate of the prophet), who quotes Muhammad as actually making a prophecy of the End Times preceding the Resurrection / Judgemant, of Jesus the Messiah returning in the last days and ruling a kingdom -- again, for 40 years...!
HAILE SELASSIE I RULED ETHIOPIA SITTING PON THE THRONE AS KING OF KINGS 1930-1975 = 45 YEARS - - LESS EXACTLY 5 YEARS TO THE DAY IN EXILE (May 5, 1936-May 5, 1941) = 40 YEARS!!!
4) On the subject of man's origins: those spiritually dead theorists whose motive is to escape being judged on their actions would have us believe that the Universe is a grand mistake. They expect us to believe the Earth (our Mother) happened by mistake, everything on her is random, and all of her creatures came about by chance, and that mankind was not designed. They wind up tracing their ancestry to a group of atoms that pulled itself into the first conscious amoeba through the force of gravity, or some such drivel. Thus when a series of ancient bones and skulls that does not quite resemble modern man is found, they rush to reconstruct faces on them that look more like a chimpanzee than a human, and assign to them dates of millions of years. In doing so they conveniently ignore the facts. Here's another "hold-up" test for you: Hold up a picture of a Homo Erectus skull next to one of the Sphinx. Actually, all of the art of the Ancient Kingdom in Egypt indicates other races of men that had skull shapes of the so-called "hominids." Curiously, the only documants that satisfactorily explain this are the ones suppressed from the Old Testamant by the Pharisee scribes and later, by the Roman Bishops - but that are known through the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Ethiopian Bible as Enoch (Henok) and Jubilees. These books describe the whole story of the wicked hybrids of the descendants of Seth (Homo Habilis) and of Cain (Australopithecus) as being cruel "giants" (relative to their shorter forebears) who were destroyed by the deluge.
Here is one picture of a "Giant" (Erectus or Nafilim) smashing the skull of a "human" (Australopithecus or Cainite)... The "giant" is wearing a helmet, but you can clearly see that he is about a foot taller than the "human", also that the "human" has a skull shape you don't see anywhere today, except in the bones that have been dug up! And they don't look like "missing links to the apes" to me, what do YOU think???
LOOK - Do you STILL want to believe that we evolved from APES??? HOW SIMPLE CAN I POSSIBLY MEK IT???
5) Greater than any proof put to words is the Agape-vibe I&I check up ina the heart reasonin, whenever I-man sights up anything to do with Rasta, Ethiopia culture, or His Majesty! The heart that are simple know an innerstand where the strongest feelin are seen an will always recognise a thing of God. No other explanation for it - the I just know - "that are a thing of God"!!!
Seein as I-man know from the Bible, that Falsehood will be the official religion of these last days - all up to a False Messiah to be proclaimed, - me might have sometimes been troubled becau JAH vibe gettin TOO big, when it seem fe grow iyah every day! That woulda been the only circumstance that coulda cause I fe recansider I faith. But me nah vex fe long, becau when me sight up the direction of them who now control the world governments goin the opposite way - from designin microchip skin implants, me realise that it is His Imperial Majesty Who will always stand fe the Freedom of Canscience that is grounated in Antiquity, but never license to be disobedient or disruptive ina His Mengist, S E L A H.
