The Sun Lion King Part 2: the Zodiac and Throne of David-Solomon in Ethiopia


Give thanks for Life,

Though it has taken quite some time, I was able to summarize my writings on the Sun Lion King and the Messianic Throne of David some more, to include the zodiac meanings behind the titles and symbols....


One of the most important truths of RasTafari is the claim to His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie’s Ivinity; or His likeness or true representation of the Messiah King, the Kristos King, Son of God. For the true believer, His Majesty replaces the deities of Abrahamic religion, and is a Real Living Proof of the Godhood or God Head Trinity present in our world in flesh, Irator as Iration.

While most RasTafari expressions of Identity or theology come from the Abrahamic foundation Afrikans were given through slavery, there is a wealth of information showing that the Abrahamic Identity is itself a composite of more ancient Afrikan (embracing all Africa, Middle East and Asia) cultures. By seeing that the Abrahamic religions are composites of ancient religions, and in order to better overstand what they really are about through their origins; we gain more overstanding of exactly what the meaning of the Kristos King is, his purpose, identity and origin (in addition to reclaiming our ancestral root, Sankofa). 

It is better to know more about InI God and King in the heights of this hidden realm which has been buried under religious colonialism for ages. InI can see more dimension, truth and reality to His Majesty’s Ivinity, or His Cosmic birth by learning the secret cosmic meanings of all the Titles and Symbols attributed to the Throne of David-Solomon. These titles give a greater power of proof to the RasTafari stance that the Emperor is the Manifestation of JAH, the heavens, as above so below- the banner of red gold green black, The Lion of Judah, Kristos, the Messenger of Providence, Soldier of the Cross, Son of God, the Messiah of Humanity, a Beacon, a Star in Afrika to point us back to our origin that we may relearn these truths of our DNA. 

This knowledge empowers InI to be free, to be separated from ignorance and idolatry, to be champions of the Natural Right which is both cosmic and terrestrial, Iritual and earthly; that InI be no more slaves to Babylon but free minded, laboring for a higher livity and Wisemind redemption with a firm foundation, knowledgeable not doubting, accountable not slacking, loving not killing. Ultimately learning about the cosmic birth of His Majesty not only brings greater appreciation of HIM as the Messiah through His cosmic birth as Judah, but also more importantly on the day to day living, shows InI that we are all born under stars and signs, and we must pay attention to the months, days, numbers and names which mark our births to learn more about our personalities, strengths and weakness and our experiences, as there is great cosmic relevance in the lives of every man and woman.

(In terms of knowledge that will really help explain astrotheology, I recommend as I mentioned before, The Witness of the Stars by Bullinger and The Light of Egypt by Thomas Burgoyne, as well as watching all Santos Bonacci videos as he speaks on these works, the cosmos and how they are hidden in the Ible and all religion. These works may help ones to really overcome all slave mentalities that encourage us to think that any knowledge of nature is pagan or heretical.  But the REALITY is that nothing we think we know about gods and deities, namely Iyesus Kristos, is without its cosmic allegorical meaning. When it comes to Abrahamic faiths we are dealing with myths and allegories not historical facts.) 

As I mentioned, all the Judeo-Christian Messianic attributes taken from the Judaean House of David and applied to the Ethiopian Negus since the reign of Axumite King Ezana in the fourth century, are linked to cosmic prophecies and cosmic deities. Iyesus Kristos is a figure based on Heru and Osiris and they are sky deities, so we cannot ignore the cosmic history of today's gods and religion. What I am saying here was decoded from all the information  RasTafari already know about Haile Sellassie the First, all the Scriptures we use now to hail HIM Lord and King. The only difference is that I went beyond the church traditions of Jews and Christians back to the origins of religious dogma, the Nile Valley. So without the colonial lens when we view our history, it is clear that His majesty’s Throne was indeed one once crowned in the name of a more astrotheological tradition, so now InI must now take a look at the other side that is yet to be revealed.

The House of David in Ethiopia came from a marriage between fabled King Solomon of Jerusalem and Queen of Ethiopia and Yemen or Saba, Makeda. Their son Menyelek I became the first King of Judah to rule outside of Jerusalem given that his father sent him back to his mother to take her place on the throne, having been given coronation in Jerusalem with the princes of Israel’s twelve tribes. The Kebra Nagast and writings of Kaye Corbett which can be found online, speak more on this historical legend of Ethiopia, Arabia and Israel. Afrika and the Middle East have for a long time shared the Jewish Identity scattered across places like Harar, Timbuktu, Judaea and Saba. Now while the Kebra Nagast says this marriage is how Judaism came to Ethiopia on a state level, Christianity came to Ethiopia on a state level by Frumentius, to the House of Ezana. This was in the same century that the nature of Iyesus Kristos and his gospels were chosen by the Bishops and dispersed around the world. Frumentius was one such "missionary" for the Roman Church whose seat was in Alexandria, Egypt.

Although all kings were now being crowned as the House of Solomon, representing the Lion of Judah (Iyesus Kristos), bearing all the titles and symbols and regalia of the Illuminated King, I am sure that the Lion symbol was used way before Christianity came on the royal scene. It was these kinds of similarities that might have made it easier for Frumentius to convert a worshipper of Mars and other deities. 

Because ancient Kings like Ezana worshipped the cosmos or planets and had their festivities by the signs of the constellations; another similarity that Ezana might have enjoyed was the story of the Mother and Son, and the son’s future success as king.  I have found that Virgo and Leo more than others, are signs or constellations which contributed a lot to the Mother and Son relationships in the Abrahamic tradition, namely the Persona of the Messiah or Great Warrior King, or Son, or David-Solomon dynasty.

While the story is really about the man-child she has, the Mother is the source of his manifestation, the provider of nourishment and of love. Virgo is the Mother, “the Woman in travail to bring forth" in Scripture first depicted by Eve. Eve and her son were the first allegory to symbolize Virgo, as the serpent would bruise the heel of her young son Cain. This is the same Woman and Son of Revelation 12, Genesis 3:15, and  Isaiah 7:14. The Woman’s seed is cursed to battle against Satan, as depicted throughout the life of Israel the chosen seed or sons of Eve, like the Davidic Kings. In the cases of patriarchs like Moses, Samuel, John, Solomon and Iyesus, if you notice in Scripture there is deep bond, a relationship of love and respect between the patriarch-kings-priests-prophets and their mothers. In terms of Judah’s kings, a beloved mother may only be known by a name or a deed, but she was mentioned alongside her son. The most important verses for the Wombman Proverbs 31, carries a legend of being written by a mother for a son, to demonstrate how important the bond was to producing a fruitful kingdom.

Being named “Branch” ( Jer 33:15, Zechariah 3:8) “Servant” “King of Kings” Lion of Judah” “Son” or “Man Child” or “Son of Man” (Genesis revelation 12, 14:14, Isaiah 9:6-7) are instances where David is being linked to the Son that sits upon the Virgin’s or Young Woman’s knee. In the heavenly Virgo the child is a star called COMA. The word Branch is actually a star in Virgo, so the link is not just one that is assumed, David is Virgo’s Son because of the word Branch. He is the Branch of Righteousness.

This bond of mother-son, the Madonna of Christianity, signifies the immaculate conception of the cosmos and earth, the fertility that the month and sign Virgo represents as well, as she is depicted with ears of corn/wheat in her hand; for the harvest is ready to be reaped. Virgo is fertility, the birth of life. Virgo is the Tribe of Asher, who shall “yield royal dainties” in Genesis 49;20. The reaping of what was sown or birthed from her womb is signified by the stars BOOTES or the man who reaps the earth with his sickle in Revelation 14:14-16,18. He is the Coming One, likened to the Branch, the awaited one to judge the earth (ps 96:13) 

Alongside Bootes is Centaurus or Cheiron or the Two Natured one. He is the sufferer, the despised to be wounded by Satan. Here lies the Ivine and Human duality of the Kristos King Iyesus as the Son of David. The two-natured one in this constellation is the sufferer who is sacrificed, being pierced. He is humiliated and then exalted. (Isaiah 53:3) so Virgo as a constellation depicts the life, nature and struggles of the Messiah.

 


Woman with Child, the Madonna, Virgo. Note the nimbus or halo on their heads depicting the Sun deity.


While Virgo deals with the coming prince, his humiliation, suffering at the hand of the serpent who bites; the tribulations of David and his sons; The king (which is really the Sun) is expected to gain the final victory eventually, and this comes from his rising in the sign of Leo, the House of the Sun. Leo is the fierce warrior, the active agent of creation bringing strength, courage and fire. Physically there is abundance and bright flourishing in the earth. All things are ripened by its corona of rays and growing to full maturity. David is a Lion King because he was born of the tribe of Judah which in the Ible was the warrior tribe, the lion tribe of the twelve sons or constellations. Judah became known by David and David by Jesus, being the Righteous Branch, Root and Conquering Lion. The number of the messiah is 5. Leo also is represented by 5 and July 23 is 5.

Leo constellation has four main star groups that give the story of the champion lion. First we have the Lion of Judah himself, rending, angry and reading to tear the head or trample the head of the hydra. Revelation 5:5, Genesis 49:8-10  (His Majesty as King, leader of the Army of Lion warriors)

The Hydra is the second, meaning the “abhorred,” despised enemy of the king that is bound in Revelation 20:2. The hydra is the serpent and the dragon as well, or Satan or winter or cold and the infertility of the earth in these months.  (the Serpent or Hydra or Satan is Mussolini, Rome, Babylon in Revelation prophecy, see the Book National Sunday Law. The war with Italy started and the king had to be exiled as He was bitten and temporarily  wounded by the serpent, this corresponds to Libra-Scorpio. But now in Leo the serpent is to be dealt with the by the Lion, as in the return from exile in 1941.)

The third group of stars is Crater or the cup of pouring out, the wrath, the fire and brimstone. It is also called a bowl Psalm 23, 75:8 and 11:6, Revelation 14:10, 16:9 and 19:20. (The Italian Ethiopian war, the road back to the throne by the Emperor)

Finally is Corvus or the raven, whose natural enemy is the snake. The raven breaks up the hydra, pecks at it – just as in Revelation 19 :17 when the angel calls the birds to the feast after the Lion of Judah, the King of Kings has defeated the enemy. (After the war, and the lion's allies take care of the Serpent's threats, Mussolini's dead body is left for the birds to feast upon. In Italy the people were the ravens, as they came and beat his body for all the bad he had done.)

By knowing the true story behind the constellation of Virgo and Leo especially it is clear that His Majesty's life was indeed like an epic story of Hercules. His entire life was "caught up to the throne of God" the Sun-Lion-King.

For further reading in Scripture focus on the Books of 2 Esdras, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Psalms and Revelation which speak much on this Virgo-Leo identity of David’s lineage.

Overall it cannot be denied that the Ethiopian Throne of David, installed by Emperor Menelik II and Glorified by Haile Sellassie I, manifests true order and power “as above so below”. Two of its most important symbols show this power, the tricolor flag with the lion symbol, and even trinity star symbol; as well as the coat of arms which is covered in symbols that point Leo and Virgo: branches, lions, swords. In addition to the scakes of Libra. In ancint days Libra and Scorpio were part if Virgo. Then  they were separated making twelve constellations. Virgo Leo also corresponds to the Sphinx which speaks on the virgin purity rising from animal nature.





 the Ethiopian Coat of Arms



 



 All these cosmic titles and thrones in the earth are based on the great Cosmic heavens, the Kingdom of God, the vast domain of the Light and Eternal Life – this is the everliving throne of the world that JAH RasTafari sits upon. All humans look to the heavens for Ivine connection and it cannot be denied that to truly overstand religion is to truly overstand cosmic science and its true preoccupation in man’s mind as it is the path to immortality. To Know JAH is to know what is happening all around InI, to overstand why Greco-Roman Babylon is so interested in the heavens and wants us to stay away from such under the threat of paganism and heresy. The Zodiac and the path of the Sun through it, is natural, it is knowing our earth and seasons fully, and seeing this as the blueprint of Jah’s handiwork. Psalm 147:4 and Psalm 89, Isaiah 40:26, Job 9:9, 38:31-2.

Kemet knew the truth and didn’t want Japheth to have it, so they coded it and this code was corrupted and maligned for allthe human race by Greco Roman religious colonization. Now is the time to truly know and see the Most High Livity Law and Light, and to overstand as I said that His Majesty’s cosmic birth is a mirror of all our cosmic births. InI are all Ivine Beings as humans are indeed made of star dust. The cosmos knows itself because of our manifestations, and our patterns under the twelve signs/constellation. And when InI accept our zodiacal balance as part of the key to “know thyself” then InI can see how our destiny is to return to it in purity and to heal all the oppressing ways of flesh, that our physical plane may align and reflect a greater cosmic order.


Love,
Sista Ila

A Chronology of the Covenant of Israel from Bible to Rastafari

Greetings,

In learning about Ethiopian history, one may ask, how can we trace Rastafari from Israel in the Bible to Ethiopia and His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I? Because we Rastafari are bound to HIM, we are naturally bound to Scripture and the Israelite nation through Joseph and Judah. What I offer here is most of what I wrote in some parts, just trying to give an overview. I really wanted to make a video but I dont have the physical strength to achieve such a task - it's a lot of Scripture and reading. So I am posting it here in hopes of giving the I some food for thought - definitely all can do their own research. I did most of my research from Scripture but I also used other sources to fill in some blanks like the Apocrypha and ancient historical and spiritual texts.

Before Abraham, Adam was the one who first received the covenant of righteousness from the Living God. His son Seth later received this blessing, and it was passed on through his sons through Enoch, Methusaleh and Noah. After Noah, the blessing of righteousness was passed onto Shem.

1. Abraham is given a Covenant: Land from the Great river of Egypt or the Nile to the Euphrates – Afrika , Middle East, Asia. A kingdom that would be very large, and would face affliction but come out great. Genesis 15:18

2. This Covenant is passed onto Isaac and then to Jacob – Isra’el. Isra’el was told that he would be fruitful and multiply and have a “nation” and a “company of nations” proceed from his loins. Kings shall rule the land from his loins. Genesis 35:10-12
Reuben as the firstborn son is given the covenant but is disinherited because he uncovered Bilhah’s nakedness – his father’s concubine. Genesis 35:22
Judah and Levi instead are given the leadership roles as king and high priest respectively. Genesis 49:8

First Chronicles, the Book of Jasher and Kebra Nagast (Budge, 2002) interpret that Judah received the birthright and the sceptre, the entire inheritance from Reuben: “although [Reuben] was the firstborn son [of JACOB] the kingdom was rent from him. And his younger brother reigned, and he was called JUDAH because of this. And his seed was blessed, and his kingdom flourished, and his sons were blessed” (Budge, 2002, p. 12). 

And Jacob said unto Judah, I know my son that thou art a mighty man for thy brethren; reign over them, and thy sons shall reign over their sons forever. Only teach thy sons the bow and all the weapons of war, in order that they may fight the battles of their brother who will rule over his enemies (Jasher 56: 8-9).
And it was after the death of Rachel, that Jacob pitched his tent in the tent of her handmaid Bilhah. And Reuben was jealous for his mother Leah on account of this, and he was filled with anger, and he rose up in his anger and went and entered the tent of Bilhah and he thence removed his father's bed. At that time the portion of birthright, together with the kingly and priestly offices, was removed from the sons of Reuben, for he had profaned his father's bed, and the birthright was given unto Joseph, the kingly office to Judah, and the priesthood unto Levi, because Reuben had defiled his father's bed (Jasher 36: 13-15).

3. Joseph is cast out of the tribes by his brothers because of his special bond with their father, and also because of his special prophetical gift which showed him that he would be mightier than they. When finally reunited with his father, Joseph is given a blessing of inheritance through his sons Ephraim and Manasseh: Genesis 48:3-5, 13-20, 37:5-11.

Later his sons inherited land in Isra’el in place of Joseph himself, and Levi as the Levites were given places to dwell in each territory given that they were the priesthood.
Scripture shows that the inheritance and birthright of Isra’el is not by geneaology or by 1st, 2nd or 3rd born.

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—he was indeed the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s. (1 Chronicles 5:1-2)

Judah received the City of Shem the first High Priest Melchizedek after the flood through Noah: Jerusalem, which is the seat of the entire Covenant (Psalm 78:68). This City was founded by JAH HIMself (Hebrews 11:10; Isaiah 14:32; Psalm 48:8.) David’s seed were the Lords of this throne and any other throne and temple that was set up by Judah such as Samaria’s Shiloh and Ethiopia’s Axum. They also were the Keepers of Zion alongside the High Priest of Levi given that Levi's High priesthood dwelled with Judah in Jerusalem. The Tribes of Joseph, and the Levites dwelled in Judah with the kingship, 1 Chronicles 9:3.

4. Later on when the Tribes had settled in the Promised Land, they defiled their special covenant of righteousness and fell into idolatry.  The Kingdom of 12 or 13 tribes, was split into two kingdoms at the hand of Solomon’s son Rehoboam (1 Kings 12:15-24). Judah remained as it was, but the other tribes moved away from Jerusalem and formed Samaria and Shiloh as their holy place for kingship and priesthood.  Even Levi left Judah, but came back later because of the idolatry. From then came the Kings of Israel and the Kings of Judah. Jeroboam – an Ephrathite a mixture of Ephraim, Judah and Benjamin - became king of Israel. He formed golden calf worship – Egyptian idolatry. The Greater Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom became Ephraim or Joseph, and Judah remained Judah. So we have the division of Israel into Judah and Joseph. 

Benjamin and Judah - and then later Levi, making it three tribes - remained at Jerusalem to keep the Order of Levi (Moses/Aaron) and Kingship of David’s Covenant alive (see Deuteronomy 33:12 and 2 Chronicles 11:14). Judah maintained its sceptre right while the other tribes departed their inheritance to dwell separately by the birthright. These tribes were Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Reuben, Simeon, Zebulon, Issachar, Ephraim and Manasseh. In summary, Judah/Jerusalem had 3-in-1 tribes and greater Israel/Ephraim had 10. This makes 13 tribes, but there are reckoned as only twelve tribal land marks because Ephraim and Manasseh replace Joseph, and Levi which had no inheritance save cities.

5. Because of Jeroboam’s idolatrous acts in seducing the tribes to worship calves now they were broken away from Judah, he caused them to be condemned as the trend continued on with each King (1 Kings 12:26-33, 13:32-34, 14:7-16). Elijah arose as prophet during the reign of Jezebel’s family to set them on the right track but they did not listen. The Assyrians ruled by Shalmaneser took these tribes of Samaria ruled by King Hoshea, out of Israel. They were taken into Persia and greater Mesopotamia, to the cities of the Medes and also to Halah and Habor by the river of Gozan. Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh were tribes carried there according to 1 Chronicles 5:26. Some sources say that as a result, this land was where the Khazar Jewish nation was built in the 6th century B.C.. The Khazars are the modern day white Jews, the Ashkenazim who were given the “State of Israel” in Palestine by Britain in 1948.

6. However, Judah was soon to follow in heresy as the Davidic king and children of Jerusalem began to practice Baalism. Baalism is the host and goddess worship of Kham, namely the sun and the “Cult of Isis” by the name of Ashtoreth in Hebrew. It all started a mere 3 years after Rehoboam was crowned, as he like his father, entertained the abominations that were rebuked by the law (1 Kings 14:22-24). In fact, to refer back to the love of Isra’el and Ethiopia both by Jahovah, Judah was given a second chance after the Ethiopians were sent to raid their treasures (2 Chronicles 12: 1-3,9). All of the treasures of Judah which Solomon had purchased were taken by the children of Kham: Ethiopians or Kushites, the Sukkim (Sukkoth) and Lubim. Rehoboam therefore lost his blessings as predetermined for him though Solomon’s wrong doing.

7. Solomon and Sheba’s son was given the blessing of Judah’s Kingship, which he took back to Ethiopia and Arabia, to rule as a joint kingdom of Jerusalem. It is highly plausible that Psalm 45:9-11 and 16 speak of this marriage, and the succession of their sons rather than their father’s sons, a new lineage would rule. 

Kings' daughters were among thy honorable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him...Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
                               
[And Solomon said to his councillors, officers and elders of his kingdom]…Come let us make him king of the country of Ethiopia, together with your children; ye sit on his right hand and on his left hand…Come, O ye councillors and officers, let us give (him) your first born children, and we shall have two kingdoms..[W]e will send unto them priests, and we will ordain laws for them, and they shall worship and serve the God of Israel (Budge, 2002, p. 52).

So in Ethiopia or Egypt or Afrika or Kush, the Kingship of Jerusalem was preserved BEFORE the tribes of Israel were taken into captivity, as know that Menelik I took 12 princes from each tribe with him.  It is safe to say that Kush or Ethiopia became the new Zion, being the new resting place of the Ark.

8. In the days of Hezekiah, Judah was threatened by Assyria but saved. The prophet Isaiah said that because of their transgression against Zion, Judah would be taken away by Babylon. Hezekiah declared that he could do nothing about the future, and was concerned only with security while he was alive. Soon after Hezekiah, the Judahites went back again into cycles of idolatry, with Josiah being the one who found the Book of the God of David his “father.” He renewed the Covenant by breaking down all idols and repairing the temple (2 Kings 21-22). The tribes mentioned as part of Israel at this time were Ephraim, Manasseh, Naphtali, Simeon, Judah, Benjamin and Levi. 2 Chronicles 35 calls them Judah and Israel showing the division was still there. It wasn’t until after Josiah’s death years later that Judah was made to suffer the consequences of breaking the Law. 

9. After Josiah’s son Shallum/Jehoahaz was crowned he was uprooted by the king of Egypt, who placed his younger brother Eliakim/Jehoiakim on the throne. Jehoahaz was taken to Egypt and died (2 Kings 23). During the reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar besieged the Holy City and looted Jerusalem’s holy treasures, placing them in Babylon’s temple (2 Kings 24:10-19, 2 Kings 23:7).  The king of Egypt no longer bothered Judah anymore at this point because Babylon now owned all land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates. After this happened, his son became king of Judah at a young age of 8. Nebuchadnezzar’s servants came and took him also away to Babylon which made Mattaniah /Zedekiah the son of Josiah the next Judahite king. But Zedekiah refused to do Zion’s or the prophet Jeremiah’s bidding.     

Zedekiah’s sons who were the only remaining candidates for kings, were slain by the Chaldees. Jerusalem was utterly destroyed by the Babylonians on these various occasions, resulting in a massive genocide (2 Kings 24; 2 Chronicles 36:13-23; Jeremiah 35:11-13, 52:27). The remaining children of Judah who were probably of many different tribes, fled to Egypt-Ethiopia when Gedaliah their protector and the governor of Judah under Babylon was killed also by the Chaldees (2 Kings 24: 22-26). They inhabited Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis and further south (Jeremiah 44:1).

And so I and I sight the two bands of Israel, the Israelite/Ephraim/Samaria/multitude of nations and the Jews/Judah/Jerusalem/Kingship and Priesthood (Please see Isaiah 7:9 and Amos 6:1). These two families of Jacob: the larger Ephraim-Joseph which was sent towards the Euphrates and the isles of the seas all over the world; and the smaller Judah which was sent towards the Nile and into the Afrikan territories of Ethiopia and Egypt. It is also important to recall that Judah’s territory through Jacob’s previous ownership did include some parts of Afrika – Goshen, Sukkoth and Beersheba.
As a result, Israel as shown by the ensample of Solomon, lost all of its spiritual will because it so easily embraced Kham’s idolatry. Therefore its borders weakened and allowed Babylon to destroy Zion after the death of Josiah. The good role of Solomon in the splitting is that he caused Zion to be moved into the Shemite-Khamite land of Kush in Ethiopia. This happened just before Rehoboam became King of Jerusalem.  And because Judah fled to these same areas when Jerusalem was attacked, we can see the Ethiopian preservation of the Hebrew JAH, the holy vessels and the royal nation and bloodline itself in this land.

And after he slept there appeared unto King SOLOMON [in a dream] a brilliant sun, and it came down from heaven and shed exceedingly great splendour over ISRAEL. And when it had tarried there for a time it suddenly withdrew itself, and it flew away to the country of ETHIOPIA, and it shone there with exceedingly great brightness for ever, for it willed to dwell there. And [the King said], "I waited [to see] if it would come back to ISRAEL, but it did not return. And again while I waited a light rose up in the heavens, and a Sun came down from them in the country of JUDAH, and it sent forth light which was very much stronger than before." And ISRAEL, because of the flame of that Sun entreated that Sun evilly and would not walk in the light thereof. And that Sun paid no heed to ISRAEL, and the ISRAELITES hated Him, and it became impossible that peace should exist between them and the Sun. And they lifted up their hands against Him with staves and knives, and they wished to extinguish that Sun. And they cast darkness upon the whole world with earthquake and thick darkness, and they imagined that that Sun would never more rise upon them. And they destroyed His light and cast themselves upon Him and they set a guard over His tomb wherein they had cast Him. And He came forth where they did not look for Him, and illumined the whole world, more especially the First Sea and the Last Sea, ETHIOPIA and RÔM. And He paid no heed whatsoever to ISRAEL, and He ascended His former throne (Budge, 2002, p. 36).

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
      I, even I, will tear them and go away;
      I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
        I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offence.
      Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
(Hosea 5:14-15).

The prophetical restoration of Ephraim-Israel more or less ends off the Old Testament (OT), as part of Judah returned to their land in 3 exodus movements. The coming of the Messiah in the New Testament therefore must hold the answer in figuring out the Covenant's restoration process of both Judah and Ephraim, what Judah is to Ephraim, and just how at last Israel is Ethiopia-Afrika and Rastafari in this time. The restoration of Ephraim as it relates to Judah also, is detailed fully in the following Scriptures and should be read before continuing: Hosea 3:4-5; Micah 5:7; Amos 9:9:1-15; Zechariah 10:6-12; Jeremiah 31:20-21; Malachi 5:1-7; Ezekiel 21:25-27; and Ezekiel 37:16-28 which says the same thing as Revelation 21.

Biblical readers are therefore ideally left with one question: did Ephraim ever return home? Did they organize themselves into Hebrew groups and “exodus” out of captivity under one leader? There can be more than one answer to this question, based on one’s outlook on the Ible and the interpreted/historical evidence of Israel, considering: the important verses and revelations of key prophets, the works of Yesus Kristos by establishing the Nazirene Church; the role of Japheth in the enslavement of Ethiopian Hebrews and Afrikans the true Israelite Keepers of the Ark, and the subsequent pan-Afrikan repatriation movement (Rastafari namely, and the Messiah-ship and God-Head of JAH Rastafari the Kushite Lion of Judah and Axumite Zion). Could it be that what happened to the Ethiopian City of Judah was the key witness of the restoration of Judah's sceptre and Joseph's birthright?

10.  The New Testament continues speaking about the pending restoration of Judah and Isra’el. It says that the Son of David would rise to find and restore the lost sheep of Israel. One Head would rule the land as prophesied in Hosea 1:11. Judah as chief ruler, would beseech Joseph.

Yesus Kristos who was of Levi and Judah  arose for such a task – but His preparation of Israel was not quite a physical one, as He didn’t have the power of Kingship in the land which was ruled by Rome. He could not bring the tribes back into the land and rule over them. His purpose was the spiritual restoration of Israel, and all those who believed in the Irit of righteousness. He promised a Kingdom of peace and love, a fellowship, a brotherhood. He urged ones to find that familial love and bond as Israel once again, to restore the link that had been broken by other nations. Yesus prophesied that a coming restoration would happen however, and that the tribes would find themselves redeemed by their own vows of righteousness, and in that be returned to the land of Zion, New Jerusalem. He sent Disciples into the world to preach and prepare Israel for a physical and Iritual restoration, “salvation is of Yehudah.”

These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.  But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’  (Matthew 10:5-7)

In that ministry of the Disciples, there is even a record of an Ethiopian high official receiving the New Gospel – a man who already knew the Old Testament, who already had the learning of Israel’s God  (Acts 8:26-39).

11. Centuries later, the Israelites who were in Afrika for generations, were captured by the Arabs, Christians and the “new kingdom of Jews” in Europe – (white jews who were adopted the religion when the True Jews fled and were scattered in captivity) and brought over to the Americas in slavery. Deuteronomy 28 speaks  in great detail about the curses that would come upon them in slavery and captivity, which all can be seen to be true in the Afrikan Holocaust and the state of Blacks in the “new world.”

Because of iniquity like vanity, fornication, murder, adultery, idolatry, stiff-neckedness and indifference, the Nation of Israel was promised the following curses which came into effect in various cycles and generations in the Bible, and which is historically proven by those Hebrews that survived the Afrikan slave trade. These points of affliction noted by italics are taken directly from the King James Version Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 verses unless otherwise noted.

              - Illness – both mental and physical, such as ague (currently defined as diseases such as malaria and shivering fits), consumption (tuberculosis), chronic fear, depression, blindness, madness, astonishment of heart, pestilence (epidemics like HIV/AIDS), fever, inflammation, extreme burning, botch, scab and itch, as well as illness that smites the legs and knees (e.g. arthritis).
                - Hunger and starvation – the land closed itself to Israel, giving them nothing that they sow (probably meaning drought or changed seasons for indigenous foods). Also the nations that took Afrika apart, took the land, crops and animals for themselves, leaving nothing but meagre rations of rotten food for the new so-called Negro labour force.
                - The rain shall be powder and dust from heaven – taken here as drought and pollution, also the falling debris caused by war and the weaponry/ammunition of the white world which they alone created.
            - Death – by illness and starvation, wild animals and beasts and the swords of Israel’s enemies. Every curse results in the death of sinful Israelites, but this is stated as a process to decrease Israel and their property in number (rather than being like sand and stars) so that only those Righteous will remain. Though literal animals are implied (Israel’s bodies are food for them), the wild beasts can also be translated as a barbaric white power or people in general, who took Israel’s children and cattle from them. There are food additives such as Aspartame and Fluoride which are poisonous to the body. Since December 31st 2009, the trading world became subject to the Codex Alimentarius organization which all manufacturers to legally significantly reduce the nutritional value of food stuff. The long-term, 2012 aim is to decrease the world’s population by the millions through direct and hidden malnutrition and starvation! Most of the world affected will be Black people!
                - A fierce barbarian nation (fierce countenance) has come up against Israel and our Black kin, a nation whose tongue Blacks did not initially understand until we were forced to. They besieged our land, made it impossible for us to function, until they successfully brought our walls down. When that was complete (turning us against one another in panic) they stole rather than bought us, then sold us as slaves to their kin. Joel talks about Kham’s or the Kanaanite betrayal of Israel, just like history recalls how Afrikans trade their brothers and sisters to the White merchants.

They have cast lots for My people, Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
      And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
      “ Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
      Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me,
      Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head;
      Because you have taken My silver and My gold,
      And have carried into your temples My prized possessions.
       Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem
      You have sold to the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their borders.
 (Joel 3:3-6)

                - The Pride of Israel’s power shall be broken – related to the above point, this can be taken as a reference to the vast Land and resources, the Church, Family/Home and the State which have been revoked from the Black world. The anti-religion created by the Israelites was destroyed in the high places, the idols cut down and sinners killed among them. JAH no longer resides in the first Sanctuary. In captivity, Israel has no power to stand against the enemy - no political sway against or social rights to address the Whites. Israel was made low and the White man set on high. Israel was made to borrow and never lend them because they now control our resources. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:6)
                - The enemy shall dwell specifically in Eretz Yisra’el (the Ashkenazi German Jews) while Israel is mentally and physically held captive elsewhere (West). The sword is the tool that ensured our removal from the land, as we were sent fleeing from the sword seven ways; and scattered to all kingdoms of the earth among the heathens. Our King who we set over ourselves and our nation was taken and made to serve the idols of such heathens. Our children were also taken by force, molested and abused – stolen and given to other people, taken into captivity (adoption, slavery, human trafficking, diamond rebel recruitment, prostitution). Afrika today being the remnant who stayed, has lost finally its sight (knowledge of us) looking for our return, they have no power in their possession to save or find us.

“Feed the flock for slaughter, whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them (Zechariah 11:4-5).
              
  - Those who remain after the desolation shall be left to sin forever in the enemy’s land, to die in their sin. Damnation, vexation, rebuke, oppression and spoilment forever no man shall be able to save Afrika/Israel from the curse of the land, they failed at all endeavours whether political, economic, or social, allowing Afrika to be weakened, and finally perishing as a sovereign kingdom. Israel and Afrika are mad and powerless because Blacks see the White man take everything for himself. Integration is an illusion.
                - Israel has eaten the fruits of her own body and the flesh of her own children – we have sacrificed our own well-being and future because of the corruption that has taken over our minds, spirits and bodies. Fathers and mothers are no longer delicate and loving, but are made to despise their own seed because of our Blackness. Children are abused, molested and abandoned by their own parents because of the siege of the whites against our nation. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; His sin is stored up. The sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him. He is an unwise son, For he should not stay long where children are born. (Hosea 13:12-13).        
                - Israel feels a great terror in the land of the enemy, a faintness of heart because we shall never feel safe in captivity. Even today Afrikans have to seek refuge from wicked political groups and gangs. We shall flee when no one is chasing, meaning we shall escape when we can, for ensample migration, suicide and the Underground Railroad. Blacks shall fall over their brothers when fleeing.
                - Jail or any form of physical confinement – cursed Israel’s heaven and earth shall be iron and brass. “But this is a people robbed and plundered;  All of them are snared in holes,  And they are hidden in prison houses; They are for prey, and no one delivers; For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”  (Isaiah 42:22).
                - Blacks have been reduced to by words, proverbs and an astonishment, among the other nations – we are shocking sights to the white people, especially women and children, we are wonders which induce both fear and interest, we have been called “niggers,” “coons,” “boy/girl,” “moors,” “chicken George,” “monkey” and all other types of horrible names. These names have replaced our royal identity, we are no longer known as Elohim’s People.
                - We serve our enemies in hunger, thirst, nakedness and desperation (desperation because we are in want of survival and equality). They yoked us by chains when we were taken from the East to the West in ships, but today white supremacy as described by Dr. Welsing is the yoke and spiritual war we battle against; ensuring our continuous destruction every day by the thousands.
                - Israel finds no ease or rest among other nations our lives hang in doubt before us with no assurance for its continuance or security – we are threatened by police, gangs, poverty and Caesar’s law which targets Blacks.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.  The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonian 2:8-12).

The Book of Jubilees is poignant in describing the tone of sin and desolation, and the fall from grace of a race in chapter 1:4-25. It matches the Biblical prophecies regarding the Black Hebrew Israelite scatter, captivity and restoration by ships, over waters. Deuteronomy 28: 48-50, 64-68, Genesis 15: 13-14 and Isaiah 22:17-19 in particular, describe the historical/spiritual accounts of the Israelite destructions that happened in Eretz Yisra’el and in Afrika. In both sources, it was prophesied that Afrikan nations of Judah and Ephraim would be uprooted, literally stolen like pies from a window-sill, abused, tortured and scattered every which way from the Afrikan coastline.

Therefore, when I and I say “the Afrikan Diaspora” we do not simply imply random Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade descendants any longer. Yes it was an Afrikan holocaust of strictly very Black so-called “Negro” people. But the number of different types of Afrikan identities that were involved in said enslavement is vast. The number of royal bloodlines is unknown. Consider the amount of history and villages that were annihilated in the raids, or by the seas, malnutrition, fear and so on. It was an Afrikan-Hebrew holocaust and dispersal, just like it was an Ashanti, Senegalese or a Gambian holocaust. The Black Western identity must now include those descendants of the Afrika that existed before the arrival of the Greco-Romans through Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium and Italy; as well as the encompassed exiled Hebrew tribes of Judah from Kanaan, Kush and Kemet.

The four  defining histories of I and I Blacks both at home and abroad linking us to Israel are:
1. the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (the scattering)
2. the colonial Scramble for Afrika or the dividing of the continent and even the Americas and the Caribbean, among European powers (the captivity)
3. the neo-colonial social, economic and political factors that have enslaved the race by economics, globalization, politics, idolatrous religion; causing death and poverty (the desolation)
4. the departure from White spiritual authority in the territories of the Afrikan Diaspora, as provoked by Prophets, Priests and the King who sustained the attack on Kushite Judah (the re-gathering of the Remnant).

12. After the desolation of Israel in the slave trade, the Beast of Rome which is shown in the Book National Sunday Law(can be found online) to be in fact that Beast and whore that wage war against the Messiah the long time enemy of Judah, arose again in Afrika to attack the Kingdom of David, ruled by Emperor Menelik II and later Emperor Haile Sellassie I. Italy or Rome, wanted to take the holy land for themselves – the entire Horn of Afrika, to create their own legacy in the ancient lands of the Gods.

Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. (Revelation 13:6-7)

He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
(Daniel 7:25)

Emperor Haile Sellassie I was forced to leave Judah in order to defend Her right in the League of Nations – a group that represented all the kings of the earth. 5 years later to the date He returned victorious and shook the Dragon from Zion. The events of the war fulfilled Psalm 111 which speaks of David-Melchizedek’s reign as king and what he shall do for Zion and Israel.

The Lord said to my Lord,“Sit at My right hand,
         Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
  The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
  Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
   Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power;
         In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth.
 The Lord has sworn And will not relent,
         “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.”
       The Lord is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.
 He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies,
         He shall execute the heads of many countries.
 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; Therefore He shall lift up the head.

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
      I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth;
      And the coastlands shall wait for His law.” The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
      He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
      He shall prevail against His enemies.”
(Isaiah 42:1, 4, 13)

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
      KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 
(Revelation 19:11-16)

13. After His Majesty successfully restored Judah, and the order of Her Kingdom, He then had time years later to reach out to the Black Nations around the world who had, in the time of His war, awoken to their true birthright and ancestry in Ethiopia Afrika. The King of Kings as prophesied in Revelation 19 above, set about to fulfill his final task of bringing the lost tribes back into their homeland, a New Jerusalem. He even sent Churches into the West that they may find back their true Irituality and faith, and offered 5 Gashas of land in Shashemene that they might return if they were so willing to once again be at home. The EWF is a testament to this.
RasTafari are some such restored and returned True Black Hebrew Israelites, reclaiming the title and birthright of Judah once again.

this happened in fulfilment of Genesis 49's prophecy for Judah- JAH RasTafari is Shiloh - the Lawgiver that the people gathered unto, the sceptre did not depart from Judah until after He RESTORED Israel:

 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Gen 49:8-10)


 RasTafari Love and Blessings to all Israel,

Isra'el and Mosaic Law

Greetings and Blessed Love,

Before the Sabbath hour comes I want to just post a reasoning on the relationship between Isra'el, the Nation of Hebrews and their God Yahweh, as based upon their Covenant, which was ruled by Mosaic Law. RasTafari in adopting so many values and principles in the Livity, truly derived many ideals from Mosaic Law as with the Gospels. This tradition is also based in Ethiopia where the Fetha Nagast is a mixture of Torah and Nazirene laws.

If you are seeking RasTafari in a serious manner, wanting to change one's life for the better, to connect with JAH in a hola, righteous manner - one must know what is right from wrong. The Law helps us to govern ourselves, to see what habits are abominable and what are favourable. That's the only way we can truly see "the Norm" or "mainstream" from what it is - and navigate our way out of it. the Law also helps us to reconnect with the past greatness of man, and to apprecilove the honourable code of conduct that humanity or at least Isra'el, once thrived by.

the following is just a summary of Mosaic law, what Scripture says about it: how it came to be and what it truly determines for Isra'el;




The Hola Ible is ideally all about the relationship between the fourteen Tribes of Jacob and Joseph and their inheritance called the Covenant of Abraham. This Covenant was made when Isra’el rejected having a direct righteous and spiritual connection to JAH on Mt, Sinai, and chose Moses as their leader instead. Moses then instituted a set rule of law and a priesthood to govern it, which were to control Israel’s penchant for idolatry and a number of carnally-based habits. Everything that took Israel far from righteousness was outlawed and placed into perspective, by Mosaic Law. Abraham's Hebrew way of righteousness and faith was to be learned by the Law since Israel had carnal weaknesses unlike Abraham.
 The Scriptures describe a love-hate relationship between JAH and flesh, and how the physical pleasures of humanity were always able to conquer their Krist-Consciousness.  The battle was being fought between the Creation instruments of spirit and ego, where the Law served as the peacemaker by setting boundaries which keep both forces in check and the good in persuasion.  The Law fights the battle against sin - sin being that which causes the Kristos to be buried by the ego and idolatry to manifest -  and allows Isra'el to be spiritually, carnally and geographically redeemed. The Law is therefore on Jahovah's side, and Moses composed the Laws of Isra'el so that they could keep their land and live well for generations, rather than be slaves, and die in their transgressions against themselves, their God and Covenant.
Because they were ideally a people called out of corruption and destruction to be set apart as a kingdom of Priests and Kings (or Standard Bearers of God in the world), it was important that Biblical Isra'el embraced a set order or law which would prevent them from committing sins against their Living God Jahovah and one another. By living clean and good, Isra'el was separated and placed above the barbaric, demonic and bloodthirsty nations of Kanaan, Egypt, Assyrio-Babylon, Persia and the Gentiles. They were less like the world and more like God's Ilect when they honoured the Covenant and law. As individuals, tribes and a race, it allowed them to make themselves worthy to stand before Jahovah and to receive His holy instruction through the priests, kings and prophets.
Essentially, the Law was provided to save them from themselves and the ways of men, and ensured that the new world or land they would create between the rivers Nile and Euphrates was a testimony to the presence of the Living God in flesh;  orderly and righteous in its existence. The Law was also expected to be a pillar of family life, and reference guide for all aspects of society's operation.
However, repeatedly the Law was cast aside by Isra'el and the ruling houses of the church and throne, and this caused Isra'el to lose its special Godly inheritance and countenance. Every time they succumbed to the pressures of the flesh, bad things happened to Isra'el – the worst being  weakness, misfortune and death,  invasions, captivities, scattering and exile (events which led up to our current status in seeking redemption and repatriation). They moved away from the Way and Identity of their Fathers and Mothers, and the quest to dwell with JAH in their hearts and attitudes - the very things that made them unique, most cherished by JAH and most hated by men. (Rastafari seek to recapture that unique quality in our own context.)
            In return, JAH moved away from them, hiding His Word and Spirit from their consciousness, taking the Ark of the Covenant and the promise of prosperity and sovereignty to other land through the lineage of David: Ethiopia. In Jerusalem and Samaria the sons of Judah and Levi failed to uphold the order correctly and the Ark was both forgotten and lost to the tribes.
In general, going against the law always means that love for JAH or love for humanity or love for the Iniversal order of things, is compromised and disrespected. The only way to right such wrongs which for Isra'el caused environmental degradation, illness, war, poverty, death and broken homes and spirits, was to return to the wise-mind and fear  of JAH and get to know the God-head Jahovah better so that Their healing would come by wise-mind and the Kristos. In the Scripture, the way that man and woman did this was by seeking acquaintance with the Law of JAH, which describes how Isra'el or any holy person must live in order to purify themselves so that they could be Images of the God-Head.
Therefore, the first step Rastafari take in getting to know the Law and the Way of the God -Head and Ethiopia's Zion, is to discover the foundation that Isra'el was given in the Torah and Gospels.
