<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Rasta word and prayer for all the people in all nations</strong></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">I am above the earth, and I am at the ends of the world, and I am Master of everything. I am in the air, My place of abode, and I am above the chariot of the Cherubim, and I am praised everlastingly by all the angels and by holy men. And I am above the heights of heaven, and I fill everything. I am above the Seven Heavens. I see everything, and I test everything, and there is nothing that is hidden from Me. I am in every place, and there is no other god besides Me, neither in the heaven above nor in the earth beneath; there is none like unto Me, saith God; My hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath made strong the heavens; I and My Son and the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">Jah People came up out of Africa, out of Ethiopia and Egypt, and did settle in Palestine around Jerusalem, and along the Brook of Kanah, the River of the Tree of Life, which meanders from the Great Sea unto the Hills of Ephraim, and some settled as far north as Nazareth and even by the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Others of Judah, and even some of Israel, stayed along the Nile, at Hermes, at Thebes, at Alexandria; the Children of Light took refuge in the hills of Ethiopia and the hills of Judah.</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">Abraham turned his face to the East, and he stretched out his hands and said, “Be Thou my God, O Lord, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Creator of the sun and the moon, Creator of the sea and the dry land, Maker of the majesty of the heavens and the earth, and of that which is visible and that which is invisible; O Maker of the universe, be Thou my God. I place my trust in Thee, and from this day forth I will place my trust in no other save Thyself.” And then there appeared unto him a chariot of fire which blazed, and Abrahama was afraid and fell on his face on the ground; and [God] said unto him, “Fear thou not, stand upright.”<sup><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></sup>And He removed fear from him.</p>
<p>Blessed is the name of Our Lord God Jah Ras Tafari, and Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jah, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I. May His name and His glory be Blessed.</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">Behold ZION, behold salvation, behold the one who rejoiceth, behold the splendour like the sun, behold the one adorned with praise, behold the one who is decorated like a bride, not with the apparel of fleeting glory, but the one who is decorated with the glory and praise which are from God, whom it is meet that men and women shall look upon with desire and shall not forsake; whom ye shall desire above all things and shall not reject; whom all shall love willingly and shall not hate; whom everyone shall approach willingly and shall not keep afar off.</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">We have written to you so that you might understand the book of Moses, the books of the Prophets, and David and Sol-Amun and all the generations. It is written: When all these things happen to you in the Last Days, the blessing and the curse, you call them to mind and return to Him with all your heart and with all your Soul. Love one another at the end of the age, then you shall live Forever.</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">Ezra took the scripture of the north, Israel, intertwined and bolted it together with Holy Word from the south, Judah, and the Torah was born. Upon his return to Jerusalem, he read from seven in the morning until noon, and the Chosen People were both astonished and thankful.</p>
<p>This ignorance of the Father brought about terror and fear. And terror became dense like a fog, that no one was able to see. Because of this, error became strong. But it worked on its hylic substance vainly, because it did not know the truth. It was in a fashioned form while it was preparing, in power and in beauty, the equivalent of truth. This then, was not a humiliation for him, that illimitable, inconceivable one. For they were as nothing, this terror and this forgetfulness and this figure of falsehood, whereas this established truth is unchanging, unperturbed and completely beautiful.</p>
<p>For this reason, do not take error too seriously. Thus, since it had no root, it was in a fog as regards the Father, engaged in preparing works and forgetfulnesses and fears in order, by these means, to beguile those of the middle and to make them captive. The forgetfulness of error was not revealed. It did not become light beside the Father. Forgetfulness did not exist with the Father, although it existed because of him. What exists in him is knowledge, which was revealed so that forgetfulness might be destroyed and that they might know the Father, Since forgetfulness existed because they did not know the Father, if they then come to know the Father, from that moment on forgetfulness will cease to exist.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">In those days </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Solomon</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> was King in </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Jerusalem</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">, and </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Makeda</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> was Queen in </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Ethiopia</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">. Unto both of them were given wisdom, and glory, and riches, and graciousness, and understanding, and<span> </span>eloquence of speech, and intelligence. Gold and silver were held as cheaply as brass, and rich stuffs wherein gold was woven were as common as linen garments, and the cattle and the horses were innumerable.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">The Queen of the South shall rise up on the Day of Judgment and shall dispute with, and condemn, and overcome this generation who would not hearken unto the preaching of My word, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Sol-Amen:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">I saw many visions in a dream, and it seemed as if a sun had risen upon </span></em><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">ISRAEL</span></em><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">, but it snatched itself away and flew off and lighted up the country of </span></em><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">ETHIOPIA</span></em><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">; peradventure that country shall be blessed through thee; God knoweth. And as for thee, observe what I have told thee, so that thou mayest worship God with all thy heart and perform His Will. For He punisheth those who are arrogant, and He showeth compassion upon those who are humble, and He removeth the thrones of the mighty, and He maketh to be honoured those who are needy.</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Ethiopia, the Goddess of Africa, the Caribbean and Amharica, is My Kaneh, My Music, My Heart, Soul and Desire, My Jah; for it is through Her Love of Christ that the world will find Holy Salvation. The Church of Haile Sellassie and the Cathedral of Robert Nesta Marley is Africa, and the Height of Africa is Itopia, Praise Her!!!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Excerpted from League of Nations speech, 1936</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">The Assembly of the League of Nations meets to consider the situation created by Italian aggression. I assert that the problem submitted to the Assembly today is a much wider one. It is not merely a question of the settlement of Italian aggression. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">It is collective security: it is the very existence of the League of Nations. It is the confidence that each State is to place in international treaties. It is the value of promises made to small States that their integrity and their independence shall be respected and ensured. It is the principle of the equality of States on the one hand, or otherwise the obligation laid upon smail Powers to accept the bonds of vassalship. In a word, it is international morality that is at stake. Have the signatures appended to a Treaty value only in so far as the signatory Powers have a personal, direct and immediate interest involved? </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">No subtlety can change the problem or shift the grounds of the discussion. It is in all sincerity that I submit these considerations to the Assembly. At a time when my people are threatened with extermination, when the support of the League may ward off the final blow, may I be allowed to speak with complete frankness, without reticence, in all directness such as is demanded by the rule of equality as between all States Members of the League? </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Apart from the Kingdom of the Lord there is not on this earth any nation that is superior to any other. Should it happen that a strong Government finds it may with impunity destroy a weak people, then the hour strikes for that weak people to appeal to the League of Nations to give its judgment in all freedom. God and history will remember your judgment. </span></em></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Such is the place of the blessed; this is their place. As for the rest, then, may they know, in their place, that it does not suit me, after having been in the place of rest to say anything more. But he is the one in whom I shall be in order to devote myself, at all times, to the Father of the All and the true brothers, those upon whom the love of the Father is lavished, and in whose midst nothing of him is lacking. It is they who manifest themselves truly since they are in that true and eternal life and speak of the perfect light filled with the seed of the Father, and which is in his heart and in the Pleroma, while his Spirit rejoices in it and glorifies him in whom it was, because the Father is good. And his children are perfect and worthy of his name, because he is the Father. Children of this kind are those whom he loves. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<div></div>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Colonialism and the policy of racism impose soul searching questions of human rights, weighing equally on the conscience of all men and nations of good-will. History amply shows that the freedom enjoyed by the many becomes fragile when the denial, even to the few, of basic human rights is tolerated.</span></em></strong><em></em></p>
<p>Our efforts as free men must be to establish new relationships, devoid of any resentment and hostility, restored to our belief and faith in ourselves as individuals, dealing on a basis of equality with other equally free people.</p>
<p>We believe in cooperation and collaborration to promote the cause of international security, the equality of man and the welfare of mankind.</p>
<p>We believe in the peaceful settlement of all disputes without resorting to force.</p>
<p>All well ordered and modern states can only base themselves upon Courts of Justice and Conduct of Laws which are just, correct and geared towards the protection of the rights of individuals. Justice is a product of education.</p>
<p>Man’s ingratitude to man is often manifested in willingness to relegate human beings to the scrapheaps of life when they enter the twilight of their careers and younger brains and stronger arms are found to replace them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">All of this We have, from Our earliest days, recognized, and in the years during which We have guided and directed the destinies of the Ethiopian people and nation, We have endeavored to accommodate and give due consideration to this basic truth. To you the legislators of the Empire, has been confided the high responsibility of ensuring that the needs and the desires of those who chose you as their representatives are well and truly served in the legislative programmes which will be placed before you. You must ensure that in your desire to achieve immediate goals, long-term considerations of equal or greater importance are not ignored or irrevocably prejudiced. Those who will prepare your Government’s programmes will do so honestly and sincerely, seeking thereby to secure the further progress of Ethiopia and her people. But you, as well as they, share in the responsibility for guaranteeing that this progress is not only apparent but real and that each step forward paves the way for the next. May Almighty God grant you wisdom, understanding and judgment.</span></p>

<div><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Excerpted from His Majesty’s speech to Jamaica parliament, 1966:</span></em></strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Distinguished members of the Jamaican Parliament, I am glad today to get this opportunity of conveying some thoughts to the Jamaican Parliament and people. The people of Jamaica have a long glorious history. The Jamaican people have struggled to attain their independence and since independence the Jamaican people in an exemplary national unity have gone on to bring further abundance and progress to themselves. Because I know of the history of these wonderful people and because I know of the sentiments the people of Jamaica entertain for the Ethiopian people, I have always wished to come and visit Jamaica. Now, thank God, this wish of mine has been fulfilled. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Upon arrival in Jamaica I have seen more than I have expected. I have seen the progress of the people and I have seen their determination to march forward in unity towards greater progress. I have also witnessed personally the extent of the feeling of the Jamaican people for the Ethiopian people. Again I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the Government and people of Jamaica for the wonderful reception that was accorded to me. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Our relations with the Jamaican people, as I have said already, is not of present origin. At a time when the Ethiopian people bore aggression, harsh aggression, the people of Jamaica showed their concern and sympathy to the Ethiopian people and have in this way provided us with encouragement regarding which the Ethiopian people shall be forever grateful. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Since I arrived in Jamaica, I was able to witness myself that these feelings of sympathy that had existed then have continued, and even now there is a greater desire to establish a closer relation with the people of Ethiopia. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">The relations, in a broader sense, between the people of Jamaica and the people of Ethiopia and Africa are deep and abiding. We have all struggled for independence and have achieved it now. Because we are people dedicated to the achievement of our independence. we have attained an objective that Is the basis for continued mutual cooperation and goodwill. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">In addition to this there is a bond of gratitude, a bond of brotherhood. The people of Jamaica, by and large, have originated in Africa. This again gives us another basis upon which we can contract a healthy relation, a relation that is not only going to be useful to our respective peoples but a relation, because of the fundamental similarity between us, that will in the long run contribute to a better maintenance of international peace and security. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">In addition to this both the people of Jamaica and the people of Ethiopia are dedicated to another cause, that is the cause of progress and prosperity. Here again the struggle we have to undergo, the difficulties we must all overcome, and the programmer we must adopt have much similarity. Thus I say the people of Jamaica and Ethiopia have much in common and these common factors can be used as the basis for even stronger relations between our two peoples </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">The people of African origin have immigrated to many parts of the world. Some of them have come to Jamaica; others to other parts of the world. But wherever they may be they have similar historical experiences and the problems that await them depend on sympathy, and this can be used by all of us as the basis for the establishment of greater cooperation which will be for our mutual benefit. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">In addition to this I also believe that the peoples of Jamaica and Ethiopia have another important cause in common, that is the cause of international peace. For much more than means of warfare, the violation of peace somewhere, must be discouraged to prevent the utter devastation of the human race. We have as an important concern that there should not be a violation of international peace and security. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">However, if small countries do not combine all their energies, if small countries do not put all their weight in one direction towards the maintenance of international peace, then their individual voices in today’s world would not matter much. This is precisely why the smaller states, little Jamaica and Ethiopia, have the supreme interest that international peace and security be preserved. And to this end we have to continue to collaborate so that our voice on the international scene would be augmented. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">In addition to this it is quite true that a country can achieve material progress alone. However, we know from the experiences of the past that international co-operation tends to quicken the pace for progress of individual countries. This is again another area for us to think about and see in what way we can further expand the relations between the peoples of Jamaica and Ethiopia. From another fundamental point of view this is why the organization of African Unity has been established. It is because the African continent, which comprises more than 250 million people, were it to remain divided among more than 30 states, their individual voices would not carry weight. It is precisely why, since there is an identity of interest, we have attempted to include Jamaica also, so that we can carry this weight in the councils of nations, and also through the process of co-operation and expanded economic relations we might be in a position to quicken the pace of development of the individual member countries of the Organization of African Unity. </span></em></strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Almost all world religions promote love and unity. All Abrahamic religions attempt to conform people]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="border:1px solid black;float:right;" src="http://z.about.com/d/catholicism/1/0/6/-/-/-/Pope_Benedict_Easter_Vigil_2007.jpg" alt="" width="142" height="213" /><span style="color:#000000;">Almost all world religions promote love and unity. All <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religion">Abrahamic religions</a> attempt to conform people into a whole. There is nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, those religions have been manipulated by the elite towards other directions. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Their entire canon was selected by the elite from ages ago in a time of civil unrest. The organization of Christianity is it's greatest weakness. When large numbers of people organize together a hierarchy develops. With hierarchy comes ego. A person higher up believes they are better than those below. This is separation from unity. Think about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope">Pope</a>, who influences the entire religion even if non-Catholics deny it, he is one man who makes decisions that change the entire religion. No one man should have that much power over other men.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari">Rasta</a> is not organized. There are Rastas all over the earth that believe in many different things. Some eat <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ital">I-tal</a>, some eat meat, some are white, some are black; all are Rasta. The only leader of Rasta is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haile_Selassie">Haile Selassie I</a>. A dead man. His ideals were also some of the most humanitarian of all time. From his famous United Nations speech, that was turned into the song <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Bob+Marley/_/War">War by Bob Marley</a>:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial;">That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained; And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed; Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will; Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven; Until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil. </span></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">I believe that an egoless man like that deserves to have influence over others. Perhaps the Pope's power has corrupted the position. The fact that Selassie never obtained worldwide influence kept him from corruption. He never valued himself more than humanity. Selassie was the last true King of men.<br />
</span></p>
<p>Rastas use the phrase "I and I" to refer to themselves and their brethren. This terminology further dissolves the ego. They know that all are equal in the eyes of Jah. We all share a first person perspective that must be respected.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Nascido em 1892, Haile Selassie se tornou rei da Etiópia em 1928. Mais tarde, no dia 2 de novembro ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Nascido em 1892, Haile Selassie se tornou rei da Etiópia em 1928. Mais tarde, no dia 2 de novembro de 1930, tornou-se Imperador, e então, reinou sob o título de Sua Majestade Imperial Imperador Haile Selassie I. Seu reinado foi frequentemente descrito como “iluminado”, visto que ele aboliu a escravidão, buscou a modernização da Etiópia, e deu ao seu país a primeira constituição escrita (1931). Em 1935, fascistas italianos invadiram a Etiópia, e Selassie lutou bravamente até que foi forçado a voar para a Inglaterra onde ele procurou ajuda para finalmente, com sucesso, repelir a invasão.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Acreditava-se que Selassie I era descendente direto do Rei Salomão de Israel (cerca de 970-931 a.C.) e da Rainha Negra Makeda de Sabá. A descrição bíblica (I Livro dos Reis 10:1-13) do encontro dessas duas figuras lendárias da Era de Ouro de Israel não faz menção de sua suposta união. Mas uma versão elaborada da história é relatada em um antigo documento Etíope, o Kebra Nagast (Glória dos Reis), que afirma que eles se tornaram pais de um filho chamado Menelik. De acordo com a tradição, Menelik não só fundou a dinastia real na Etiópia, da qual Haile Selassie I afirma ser descendente, como também roubou a Arca da Aliança do templo de seu pai Salomão em Jerusalém, e trouxe-a consigo para a Etiópia. (Isso nunca foi provado, mas é fato que a Arca desapareceu misteriosamente do Templo Sagrado, provavelmente durante o reinado de Salomão e muito antes da Queda de Jerusalém em 589 a.C.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A lenda Kebra Nagast tem várias implicações. A teoria da remoção da Arca de Israel para a Etiópia parece um óbvio simbolismo, a generosidade de Deus estava sendo tirada de seu Povo Escolhido originalmente e agraciando a Etiópia. Daí então, a promessa da aliança de Deus ao Rei Davi de que jamais deixaria faltar um descendente para reinar em Israel foi igualmente transferida para a linhagem real Etíope descendente de Menelik, filho de Salomão e Sabá. Isso foi usado para explicar porque os monarcas da Dinastia de Davi de Israel eventualmente terminaram em fracasso durante o período da Queda de Jerusalém. (A interpretação Cristã dessa promessa aparentemente quebrada por Deus, parece ser que Jesus Cristo, que também era dito como descendente do Rei Davi, é o herdeiro do trono de Israel de uma forma espiritual.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Assim, Haile Selassie I foi visto como preservador de uma tradição que foi escrita a mais de 3 milênios. Alem disso, como monarca da Etiópia, ele adotou vários títulos bíblicos que a muito tempo são relacionados com o Messias. Selassie era chamado de <strong>Rei dos Reis e Senhor dos Senhores</strong>, e também associado com “<strong>O Leão da Tribo de Judá</strong>”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Enquanto isso, na Jamaica era dito que a coroação de Selassie em 1930 era o cumprimento da profecia de Marcus Garvey, que predisse a coroação de um Rei Negro na África, que seria o Redentor dos Africanos Negros dispersos pelo mundo. O lendário e ilustre passado de Selassie e seus títulos de Messias devem ter deixado muitos seguidores de Garvey sem duvidas de que ele era o Messias Negro Prometido. Alem disso, o nome “Haile Selassie” (em Amárico “Poder da Trindade”) deixava implícita uma presença divina em pessoa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Então, Haile Selassie passou a ser amado ou adorado como Cristo ou até como Deus Todo-Poderoso. Seus devotos seguidores Jamaicanos ficaram conhecidos como Rastafaris, um termo derivado do nome de nascimento de Selassie, Ras Tafari Mekonnen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O próprio Selassie sendo um Cristão Ortodoxo, parece ter achado essa atenção embaraçosa. Ele tentou afirmar ao povo que não era Deus, mas um pecador pelo qual Jesus Cristo morreu. Entretando, isso não parou o crescimento do movimento Rastafari, pois era sabido que Deus encarna no homem de forma natural, e o homem então, não sabe que é Deus.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como várias ramificações da tradição Rastafari evoluíram, alguns grupos continuaram a adorar a Divindade de Haile Selassie, o Poder da Trindade, enquanto outros (como as Doze Tribos) passaram a vê-lo como um imperador iluminado e como uma representação de Cristo que apontou o caminho que leva a Deus mesmo não sendo ele próprio o Deus.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em contraste ao vasto respeito demonstrado por muitos na Jamaica, Selassie foi condenado como um ditador impiedoso por grande parte de seus inimigos, oponentes políticos e países vizinhos. Evidentemente, controvérsias (tanto religiosas quanto políticas) ocorreram em muitos aspectos de seu reinado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Selassie I foi eventualmente deposto pelo líder Marxista Mengistu Haile Mariam em 1974. De acordo com livros de história, Selassie morreu no ano seguinte de forma misteriosa, sendo preso e provavelmente torturado. Entretanto, os Rastafaris que acreditam nele como o imortal Deus Jah Rastafari afirmaram que isso foi apenas um blefe do inimigo, e que Selassie I ainda estava vivo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em todo caso, historicamente, <strong>S.M.I. Imperador Haile Selassie I</strong> inegavelmente se tornou uma lenda e continua a inspirar uma vasta multidão de seguidores ainda hoje.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ 
Palavras de Sua Majestade Imperial, Senhor dos Senhores, Rei dos Reis, Leão Conquistador da tribo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:x-small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>Palavras de Sua Majestade Imperial, Senhor dos Senhores, Rei dos Reis, Leão Conquistador da tribo de Judá, Eleito de Deus, Poder da Trindade, Haile Selassie I JAH RastafarI</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Nós da Etiópia possuímos uma das mais antigas versões da Bíblia, mas independente da idade, em qualquer linguagem que possa ser escrita, a Palavra permanece única e igual. Ela transcende todas as fronteiras de impérios e todas as concepções de raça. É eterna.Sem dúvidas, todos vocês lembram terem lido nos Atos dos Apóstolos como Filipe batizou um Etíope. Ele foi o primeiro Etíope que seguiu Cristo, e daquele dia em diante a Palavra de Deus continuou a crescer no coração dos Etíopes. E Eu devo dizer que desde o começo de minha infância Eu fui ensinado a apreciar a Bíblia e meu amor por ela aumenta com o passar do tempo. Nela encontrei um conforto infinito para meus problemas.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Vinde a mim, vós todos que estais aflitos sob o fardo, e eu vos aliviarei.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Quem pode resistir à um convite tão cheio de compaixão?</p>
<p>Graças a essa experiência pessoal na bondade da Bíblia, Eu determinei que todos os meus conterrâneos devem também compartilhar essa grande benção, e que lendo a Bíblia eles devem encontrar a verdade por si mesmos. Devido a isto, Eu fiz uma nova tradução ser feita de nossa linguagem antiga para a linguagem que velhos e jovens entendam e falem.</p>
<p>O homem de hoje vê todas as suas esperanças e aspirações ruindo diante de si. Ele está perplexo e não conhece a pureza, está caminhando sem destino. Mas ele deve perceber que a Bíblia é seu refugio, e um lugar de mobilização para toda a humanidade. Nela o homem encontrará a solução para suas dificuldades atuais e orientação para suas ações futuras, e se ele não aceitar conscientemente a Bíblia e sua grande mensagem, não poderá esperar pela salvação. De minha parte, Eu me glorifico na Bíblia.</p>
