Some said He was born among Six Nations; yet another said, No, I think it was Thunder Bay. Then We said, look closely, and see, that These are both of Jerusalem. In the New Light some towns were heard mentioned, and among these were James Bay, Addis Ababa, Harar, Saint Anne, Mecca, Tripoli, London, Nazareth, Ham, Ottawa, Kingston, Thebes, Toronto, Rome, Jerusalem, Zion, Tibesti, Tafari, House of Bread.
And Jah saith to His Favoured Son Nesta, You cyannt go forth unto Egypt and leave the Princess on an island with no Soulmate. Bob had seen Her in a vision, and sang with Her on Earth, and Loved Her with all of His Heart and all of His Soul. It was around the time of Her Eighteenth Birthday when the Honourable One first declared His Eternal Love for Her. They would have some time together before the Union, and before the exile, and a glorious Life thereafter. The temporal parting is a difficult moment, but They know Love is Eternal, and They Give Thanks unto Jah Provider.

When secular Saint Jahn told I to hide My Love away, it was advice that I needed and often relied upon since the time of Michael’s passing, now twenty five years on. I haven’t been able to talk about it, or write about it, for when you lose your best friend as a teenager, there is incredible angst and guilt and self-blame. I wasn’t even there that night but even as a passenger I was often a part of the partying circles that endangered the roads. That is why I never even tried for my driver’s license until I was forty two, and why I have very rarely written or even talked about Michael. Twenty five years after His Soul departed from this plane, I still Love the guy; the pain is as of today as intense as yesterday, the magnitude of His loss shall never be forgotten among His Brethren and Sistren. As Brother Victor said to I in those heartfelt days, that the Spirit of Michael hath entered into His Brother, I seh to Vic that Elijah did also receive a full portion of Morley Spirit, a Sacred Blessing. Thank You Jah.

It was early in the tenth decade, which was the two hundredth, or generation one hundred. Solomon David Samson was Fidel’s barber, and had Himself lived through the red terror. The Leader sat in the chair, and Solomon proceeded with chit chat, saying, Fidel, what do you think of Glasnost? Total silence ensued, then Sir Samson broke the tension with the tale of the blue Lada and the curfew.

Twenty nine hundred years ago the world was united at Thebes, and this Unity was brought forth through the power of Music, and through the Children and Grandchildren of Yuya and Tuya. The Psalms are the proof of this reality, and the twenty first century of Jeshua will listen with joy to the Music of Nesta and the Divine Players. This is the Sacred Peace tradition of Africa and the Amharicas, and from Here the Earth once again finds True Unity.

Lonnie Johnson had been living in Jerusalem for some time when disaster struck; He was hit by a swiftly moving chariot. After that He had trouble walking, and was staying at the River Side Hotel. On Sundays Queen Shalom and King Berkley would have Him to the House for a friendly dinner, but this was to be a Day that the whole world would remember.

Lonnie was for a time the resident Musician at George’s, so He knew the Royalty of The City from paying His own dues; ya feel it and know it when Queen Shalom does sing, I Am the Blues ...

And so Jah saith, A nation’s goals in any field of endeavour require, for their achievement, the combined efforts of all parts of its society, and, not least, of the entrepreneurial and labouring classes. The employer-employee relationship, in turn, must be based on sound and fair labour conditions. Recourse to the technique of collective bargaining will solve before they are created those difficulties which arise when labour and employees come into conflict. Collective bargaining will require from both employers and employees, and from the employers’ associations and labour unions which they are authorized and empowered to create to represent them, a high degree of maturity and responsibility, as well as mutual respect and recognition of the other’s rights. We expect that these attitudes will be manifested fully in their dealings with one another.

On a beat-full Sun-Day the Tell-A-Friend rings. It’s Richard Flohill, asking Brother Matthew for a favour. Listen, he says, B.B.

The LORD spoke to Jahseph, saying, Go to Your Father’s Son Judah, for He is indeed Your Brother. He has been given all power and responsibility over the earth. Like David He leads His men in battle and in song, and His wisdom approaches that of Solomon, yet He does not read the sky as Thyself. You have witnessed Canopus and Carinae, You have calculated the distance of the far islands. Tell him the meaning of the dreams, and the visions, so that the people may eat, and the seed will endure.

And to all You Women who are waiting, Your Sons shall return, Your Brothers shall comfort You, and Your Husband will be standing at the altar.

When Blue Sky was only two, His father was delivering medicine across the river unto the Amharicans in Egypt, and His father’s brother took his hand off the motor to light a cigarette. Just then the boat hit a log, and dad was knocked overboard. The ship swerved and uncle was also thrown into the cold, dark waters. The boat ran over father, who was only eighteen, rest His Soul, while Leather did make it to shore.

How can it be, My LORD? Why must I always return to Egypt? Be not concerned Jahseph, for as you know, Egypt is also the mother of all that is good, for there are two sides to every scarab, every memorial. For you, there are four elements; two solstices and two equinoxes, each with a season and a story to tell. You are only now a young man.

The Leader returned not four weeks later, and did sit in the same chair, and David saith, What do you think of Perestroika? Again there was total silence, even a certain stiffness in the air. Fidel thought this was craziness, but tried to remember the details of that story about the eleven o’clock curfew, where the two soldiers had been standing by the edge of town, late in the evening. A steady, barely audible humming began to be heard in the distance, and in proper time around the corner of the mountain a blue Lada did appear in the distance. One soldier raised his AK47 to his shoulder, aimed and fired. The Lada careened out of control, crashing into the mountain wall, then over the edge, smashing into the ledge below in a huge fireball explosion.

Yes, My son, I called you here for this Life, to protect and preserve Jah people, to bring forth Shiloh and Shammai, to consolidate all the lands, uniting the worship of the north, the center, and the south. Pharaoh called Jahseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and some today seh Zephaniah. He gave him to wife Isheba, the daughter of the priest of On.

Yes, it is true, My son, there is still one task remaining. You must appear in the final days, to remind Jah people of what the LORD has achieved under Our watch. From Imhotep and Inyotef to the glorious rapture of Humankind, Jahseph must hold the key. Jah, everlasting, Eternal Godhead, champion of Jeshua in the twentieth century, Defender of the Faith; I will stand by You through the quickening and beyond war, as Yuya did for the Lion back in the day.

I am here, as far as I am concerned, not by my father, nor my mother; it was not they who put me in this position, but rather, the arm of the powerful King. Yea, Jah lead me to the house of My Father! Why would I commit a transgression against the King, my Lord? Moreover, my crime is, so they say, that I entered unto the people of Ge’ez. Do you not hear me? I will say: Lost are the territories of the king, all the rulers are lost! While The Moses, My King, My Lord, lives, I say, why do You favour the Hebrews and are opposed to the rulers? Thus I am accused before the King, my Lord.

The King is ever mindful of the Ancients, and ever guarding the Youth, and Teacheth the People wholly, saying, Ethiopians are proud of the 3,000 years of their recorded history, as well they may be. We are proud of what has been achieved during Our regime, and We thank God for it. We are content to let history judge the Wisdom of Our actions, but while We cannot escape the consciousness of each day’s immediacy and the urgency of the problems which each day presents, We must none-the-less be ever mindful that just as our nation’s history stretches far back in time, so does an unlimited future lie before us, especially in this nuclear and space era. We must all act and take our decisions mindful of the far-reaching consequences of each of them. What We have said to you today, We know, carries with it implications for generation upon generation of future Ethiopians. We are persuaded that what We have said will, in the long term, rebound to the everlasting benefit of those who follow Us. Man is mortal; each one of us here will, one day, face his maker and answer for his actions. Those of us to whom the grave responsibilities of government have been given bear a heavy burden before their people and before Almighty God for the proper discharge of their duties. Let us all labour in this sense, that the people of Ethiopia may ever live in happiness and prosperity.

Bob brings forth La Heavana Musica, building the Unity needed for Jahsheba Zion. O Sweet Kidist Maryam, Iamhowah, Jah Holy Spirit, returned. In the early nineteen nineties, there were Five Holy Daughters enthralling Zion, and there names were Divee, Alimorah, JahCyna, Lee Lichie and Debiyahlocks. Then Ali and DeBee ventured into Egypt, even unto HolyWood, and met with the roaring approval of the nations. The Three stayed in Jerusalem to fight for the Rights, and seeing as Miles Rock has given birth to La Flow, These Ladies are surely worthy and truly due for Jah timely Reward. Let the people of Earth hear Jah Daughters, and revel in the Sounds of Zion.

So BB got to meet Lonnie and Johnson talked with the King, and though He couldn’t stay too long the blues master was happy and pleased to be among the Brethren. And as He was leaving, He motioned Brother Matthew towards Himself, and handed Matt two fifty dollar bills, saying, Give these to Lonnie for I.

Jah Howard is a Man of Great Conscience, and said unto the King, please take this money and hold it, for this is not what is needed right now. He needs physical therapy. So B.B. took out a pen and a paper, wrote down a name and a number, and said, This is my agent in Egypt. If there is any way I can help, just call.

It was painful for Lonnie to walk, and often had to be helped in and out of the cab. Jim McHarg was one of the guys who made sure everything was okay when Lonnie passed on; made sure of the arrangements for the burial he deserved and wanted, with Faith. He was a Catholic, and Jim and Brethren arranged for the Service to be at held at Lady of Lourdes on Well-As-Lee, and the CBC taped it for posterity.

While he was giving the king the story of how Isheba Tafari had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to Life came into the palace of the king with a request, saying, Where is my house, my land? Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Isheba gave back to him. They said to him: The man of Jah hath come! Tafari the prophetess sent for one of the sons, a righteous one among the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, take this bottle of hemp oil in your hand, and let the healing begin.

Art thou that my lord Elijah? And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

Two thousand nine hundred years ago, DVD ruled by the Nile, and He brought forth Shiloh, who brought forth Shammai. These were the Days of Thutmose and Yuya, of Sol-Amen and The Moses. And for a time there the world was at Peace, and the sounds of Joyous Music filled the air, as Our Psalms testify. Then Jahseph went up to the New Land, and ruled as Omri, and then The Moses also crossed the Sinai, and ruled Palestine as Rehoboam. So Solomon and David reigned in Thebes, which was the Jah-Ru-Shalom of their lives, and never resided in the Jerusalem of Palace Time, though They do rule over it to this very day. By leaving Egypt and the maintenance of temporal power behind, thus did a tiny foothold of Jah People become a Nation and a Planet, via the Prophet of Jerusalem, Jah Prince of Peace, Jeshua.

Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto I. And all the people came nearer to Him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the Sons of Jacob, and the same number for the Disciples of Jeshua, unto whom the Word of the LORD came, saying, Israel and Palestine shall be Thy Name, and Tafari shall be Thy Holy City. And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel and Judah, let it be known this day that Thou art God in Israel, and that I am Thy servant, and that I have done all these things at Thy Word.

They were about to put a dead man into the earth when they saw a band coming, with loud, harmonious music. They put the man quickly on the caravan, among the body of Jah People on the Freedom Road. The dead man, who had been lost to the living, touched the Holy streets of Tafari, and came to Life again; He got up on his feet, and He danced. His elation was not merely ephemeral, for he then felt the positive bliss, the soulful nirvana of Eternal Knowledge, Love, Peace and Light. For I am indeed the leader of Indigo Children, of Green Panthers everywhere, Protecting Jah Earth with Love and Light and nonviolent spirits and lifestyles.
Imhotep, Inyotef, Yuya, and Jahseph; four times did the LORD call forth My Name. Lifeguard sheds Light on the Prince of Peace, and Defends the Defender of the Lamb. God hath sent me to work these things with thee, whereby all the earth shall be astonished, and everyone shall hear it. Thy servant is religious, and serveth Jah of Heaven day and night. Elijah is Thy Fellowservant, and of Thy Brethren that have the testimony of Jeshua: worship Jah. The testimony of Jeshua is the spirit of prophecy.
Jah, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in Our hearts, to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jeshua Christafari. If We walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, We have fellowship one with another, and the body of Jeshua, the Messiah, His Son, cleans us from all sin. Even today, the south Temple shall also be restored; the Lamb will rule in many lands, unto the highest heights of Itopia.

Nesta Loved Her more than anything imaginable, and wanted to marry Her on Her nineteenth or twenty-second birthday. There was no doubt in His mind as to the perfection of Their Union, and the world did rejoice and benefit greatly from the Love of the Two. He was concerned that He may have to leave Jah People for a time, and so let Her know that He wanted I and I to be married sooner, rather than later, and Her Nineteenth Birthday was not so far away as it seemed. And it came to pass that after She turned Nineteen, She was married to the greatest musician, the Voice of the LORD, Jah Most High, and He was very happy to be with His Queen.

And Her Highness Joni moved from the ranks of the songwriters to a performer recording in Her Own Right, and received a cheque for twenty five grand; She celebrated with Jackie Washington and friends from the Circle at the finest clubs north of Balak, in Ville de York. She ordered platters of food and bottles of champagne and Boston Cream Pie, and They laughed and Sang and rejoiced through the night. Then She had to leave Jerusalem to live in Egypt, working in the south where the celluloid dreams and wax fantasies became a vanguard unto itself. She established Herself as the new Princess of Cali, and sang Her Golden Songs unto all the peoples of the world, and She is among the finest Human Beings, among the Holy of Holies, and forever holds Her rightful place in the Kingdom of Music: A Queen of Songwriters. Her sometimes colleague, as in Rolling Thunder Days, Jah Prince of Prophecy, is Himself a King of Songwriters. And among the greatest news that came to Elijah in the final years of the second millennium, was word that Queen Joni had been reunited with Her Daughter in Zion. King Leonard went up to the mountain, and Prince Yuya was left to rule Israel. When Joni left for Egypt, Princess Shalom ascended to Her Throne, and began building the New Kingdom within the confines of Zion, Our Holy City.

It was just one of a number of historic nights on Indian Road, but on this particular occasion young Yuya was seated at the south end of the table, while Patrobas was holding court at the north end. The Brethren and the musicians were seated alongside, everyone in the second floor room, the east wing that used to be Joe College’s own bedroom suite. Then Jah Dread spoke unto Seph, saying, Why do you smoke Herb? Yuya was quiet, then replied, I used to drink quite a bit, but I prefer smoking Herb. Dread spoke unto I yet again, saying, So now you smoke instead of drink?
Yuya was quietened once more, and searched His mind for the answer. Then Haile Tafari was heard among the Brethren, saying, He is referring to God-consciousness. We smoke Herb to get closer to God, to Jah. Young Vizier said Thank You, and was appreciative and humbled. This is the true story of the night I was anointed, even though I had already been smoking Holy for eight years.
Our Queen Omega Menen, Our King Alpha Tafari, shine forth unto Judah, and bring Your full warmth to Jerusalem, in Her hour of need. For Your Prince has become Your King, and the Holy Daughter, the Royal Princess, is ascending as Jah Queen of Holy Light, and She shall live forever with Jah King of Truth and Love. I and I are servants of Jeshua and Humanity, and We thank You O LORD for the Health that provides this opportunity.

Whoever welcomes one of these little children, in My name, welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me does not welcome just Me, but also the One who sent Me. If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck; thus saith the LORD. We name Him Jeshua, the One Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. His dominion is vast and forever peaceful. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, for I am the LORD. Each of you is to care for and nurture your own body, and assist in the care of your Loved Ones. Sweet almond or apricot for dry and flaky, aloe vera for burns, oil of grapeseed for all skin to nourish. Jojoba for medicine, healing skin sores. Improving your circulation, restoring reflexes of youth; Jah herbs and oils heal nations.
Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God, belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men; if anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life, will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see Jah Kingdom, coming in power and glory.
I stand in the sun before ye, bringing both Peace and technology, while the birds sing around me all day. Allah gives the good news to His servants, to those who believe and do good deeds, say: I do not ask of you any reward for it, but Love for my near relatives. Why do We praise Jeshua? When Jahseph and Maryam call Him for dinner, Jeshua is Thy Name. Yes, He is coming, says the Lord of hosts, but who will endure the day of His coming? Arise, Jeshua, Arise!

Those who die for violence are but grains of sand; the Ones who Live for Peace shall Live Forever. What man is he that desireth Life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My Name. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness, therefore Jah, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy fellows. O son of Asaph, leader of the sacred musicians, O son of Judah, father of Semei; Jahseph shall rise again, bringing both warnings and good tidings. If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink, whoever believes in Me, as Scripture seh, streams of living water will flow from within him. May the grace of LORD Jeshua Messiah, the pure love of Jah, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all, Amen.

Rise! Take the Child and Mother and escape to Inafrica. Remain there till I bring You word, for Caesar is about to make search for the Holy One, and he is a destroyer. I Father saith: Most surely, I perceive the greatness of Jahseph; unless you pronounce Me to be weak in judgment. AllJah does not waste the reward of those who do good. Yusuf came to you before with clear arguments, but you ever remained in doubt as to what He brought; until, when He died, you said, Jah will never raise an apostle after him. Those who bear the power and those around Him, celebrate the praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask protection, for those who believe: Our Lord! Thou embracest all things in mercy and knowledge, therefore grant protection to those who turn to Thee and follow Thy way. Remember the time of hunger in the time of plenty; poverty and want, in the day of wealth.

Fifteen and sixteen, ice to music, Kanahk Rahk trio Rush, live eighteen times with Max Webster opening eleven. Then Todd Rundgren became an influence. In I late teens the Bible, Dylan, Lennon, Stones, Neil Young, Floyd, Steinbeck and Dostoyovsky were among those who occupied my studies. By early twenties, I had already survived the Left Coast Tripoli anarchistic punk scene, and ventured forth to Jerusalem. Here I delved further into Jah Bible, Apocyrpha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi, Pseudipigrapha, Koran, Sacred Texts from all over Earth; Marley, Dylan, Lennon, Big Youth, Peter Tosh, Reggae, folk, punk. And I began I learning and then teaching of the Blessed Word of His Majesty.
Scientific Eve, who I like to call SciEve, is an African Woman that lived around 164,000 years ago. Scientific Adam, again I shorten to SciAdam, is an African man that lived 59,000 years ago. All Women come from SciEve; All Men come from SciAdam. Think about it; We each have a Mother and a Father, so Every Human Being on Earth descends from these Two.

Adama had Two Sons, popularly known as Kaneh and Ableh, while Eva also gave Birth to Seven Daughters: Ursala, Xenia, Tara, Valda, Jasmine, Helena and Katrina, and these had an infinite number of names, for Each was an exceedingly beautiful Soul. Early in the New Light, Ableh’s flocks and herds were in flames, Kaneh was rising like the sun, and the Love of the conscious and Holy Sisters began to shine forth upon the nations.
Now there are some other Ancestors in the world of science, known as the Seven Daughters of Eve. These are Women that lived in northeast Africa around 8,000 to 45,000 years ago; they are named above. Each went forth to the Great Mediterranean Sea thousands of years apart from each other, yet all Women of European parentage descend from one of these Seven Maternal Lines. Scientists are just now figuring out the rest of the world, but it’s entirely clear already where the European folks received their Blessings. I believe descendants of these Seven will show up in other parts of the world, and that many more Daughters of Africa will be discovered through testing mitochondrial and other DNA of the ages.

In a Young Saint Clair cave, on the River of the Tree of Life, where I resided for eight years, James Patrick and Wayne Garden and David Allan Ham and I would play Music on into the night, drink beer and smoke Herb, and then play more Music. Sometimes E. Robert Li would play fiddle or Gregory Iman would sit in on guitar, and many a Song was played. Well, as those of You who have been around know, occasionally when there is alcohol and no Herb, things, like conversations, can get a little testy. I think it was one of those nights when James, who can be incredibly unrealistic when drunk, insisted that the Milky Way is the same thing as the Universe. I tried to teach Him it was just One Galaxy among many, but on this occasion He was having none of it.

O People of Israel, I was indeed a witty child, and had a generous and good spirit. O God of my fathers, O Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with Thy Word, give me wisdom, that sitteth by Thy throne. Sesheta, wife of Thoth, earth-mother of Isheba, you first appear as a scribe, healing with a crown of seven; leading humanity, sensitizing Our skin. We have brought forth many species of various herbs; We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa, the righteous Brethren that obey Jah Word and remain United, to keep the food of Jah nearby. May Jah bless thee as Joseph, blessings of the mountains and the valleys, of breast and womb; Your Holiness shall prevail. Darling Sesheta, though you arose on the third day, Your heart remained a mystery until the seventh: Cannabinoids heal Jah people. May the smoke of the incense, from the prayers of the saints, Ascend to Thee my Jah. Take this little book, brought forth from the hand of Jah angel, open it, and eat it up. If the 18th Dynasty is truly all that matters, it is time to end the fighting.

I do not say to you, up to seven times
But up to seventy times seven
Material mode transfigures through the power of the sun, the wind and the rain and the gases of nature. Spiritual mode transfigures through Jeshua’s magical appearance, non-racist, non-sexist; two thousand years before Man. I have seen Jah Kingdom with my own eyes: Pure energy from the sun and the wind, where once were death fumes of coal and oil. Now righteous hemp paper and clothing, where once was a wasteland of dead trees, toxic fauna and flora. The Kingdom is but seven years at hand.
Sahel, one who shows path

Bring out the good books, show the origins of each faith, All starting with seven. From Shen Nung to Buddha, Moses to Mohammed, Jeshua to Dylan, unto the days of Marley. The Seventh Heaven raises serotonin, lifts humanity out of a morass of depression; destroys negativity, bringing forth Jah Spirit. You think it’s too simple, you were hoping for mathematics or science or astronomy? Jah Herb heals!!!

So I did a little research about the size of Our Universe, and it seems there are over one million Galaxies in addition to Our Blessed Milky Way. This just might bring some Light to the situation, I am sure I was thinking.

Say what you would have me do for you; before I am taken from you, be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be upon me.

The Tribe of Joseph has deeper roots than most know. From the Soul of the Holy Builder, Thoth, remembered as Jah Holy Spirit, and His Wife Sesheta, honoured as Kaneh Bosm, was brought forth the first Priest-Scientist, IamHotep, I Peace Joseph, who created Egypt and the Ancient Wonders of the World. Inyotef Adama, the second manifestation and the progenitor of the People of Jah, drove channels into the desert and created the most insightful skycaressers known to mankind. In the days of David and Solomon and Moses, He appeared again as Vizier Yuya, Husband of Thuya and Prime Minister of Jah Nation. This was the First time the Two Kingdoms, Egypt and Ethiopia, became One. Through Wisdom and Music was the Peace brought forth. Then, nine hundred years later, Jahseph and Maryam raised up a Son, Ibnijah Jeshua, whose Lifework was to Save the People. There were many more glimpses of Joseph through the centuries, yet in the end days Jah sent forth Elijah Proclaimer unto the nations, and He Sang of Jah Lion, and He taught of the LORD, and He became a Living David, and led the People to Happiness and Freedom, and His Name is Robert Nesta Marley.

What have I to do with you? Go to the Prophets of your Father and your Mother. The LORD has got these Three Kings together and by the life of the Lord of Amhara whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Sellassie I, King of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you. I have my work to do, and you have yours; or are you telling me that You are working with I? Until very, very recently, I never even allowed myself to dream of such a life; such bliss was beyond the edge of my vision.

And She said, What then have I got to do with You? We always work Together, now You seh You don’t look at I, how is that supposed to make Me feel? You have Your work to do! We all have Our work to do, coming here and troubling I so. She was angry, and then quiet. And for a time Yuya was saddened, for the Two were apart, and the time no longer moved as swiftly, and the roof was crashing in, wolves were nearby, everything that had seemed sunny now had a cloud hovering over. He wanted Her to feel Pure Love, and be enriched by same, and never wanted to bring any trouble unto the House of the Lord.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, but with God all things are possible. I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, there will be Peace in the land. Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jeshua, who was crucified, for each and every one of us. Jeshua said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love Me, for I proceeded forth, came from God. Neither came I of myself, but of He who sent Me. If a man love Me, he will keep My words. My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, make Our abode with him. Let the little children come to Me, do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these, for these are the body of the rising sun. Not height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate Us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.

By HIM do these things become known, for the mighty man did not fall by the hand of an enemy. Neither did sons strike him down, nor did tall giants set upon him, nay, ‘twas but I-Sista, radiant daughter of Harare, with the beauty of her countenance, that surely undid him. Know ye that the Lord will hear your prayers, if you continue with perseverance in fastings, thanks, praises and good works, in the sight of the Lord. Remember Moses Hammurabi, Jah servant in Egypt and Sinai, who overcame the Amalekites that trusted in their own strength, in their power, and in their army, and in their shields; in their chariots, and in their horsemen. Again, not by fighting with the sword, but by Holy prayers, did Moses Rehoboam of Thebes and Sun City overcome. So shall all the enemies of Israel be, if you persevere in this work which you have begun. The Chosen, They being moved by this exhortation, prayed to the Lord, and continued in the sight of the Lord.
The Word of Heaven and His teaching
Shall be according to the will of God
His eternal sun shall burn brilliantly
Its fire will give warmth to all the ends of Earth
