Let all be unmistaken, for even in the priestly Messiah, Jeshua the Lamb, there is fierceness in message in parable in lessons. Let all be quite certain, for even in the Lamb’s Protector, Jah Lion of Judah, the warrior Messiah, there is gentleness with people and with animals. He abolished slavery, preached in Jerusalem, taught at Geneva, took refuge in Bath. The First One they hung live with criminals, the Second One they threw in the ground; I and I Father are One.

I Word is blessed by His veritable knowledge. I have been empowered by the earthly appearance of Jah Ras Tafari and the Eternal spirit of Jeshua of Nazareth. Listen children, to the Lion and the Lamb; there is only One God.

Lion of Judah, Creator of Humanity, the Divine Absolute Monarch who is the Just King, the Defender of the Faith, the Might of the Trinity. Son Jeshua, Bringer of Love and Peace to Humans, Jah Light of the World and the Soul. He pulled order from chaos, and would One Day build a Holy City.

Jeshua Christafari calls to your soul, gently like a warm Caribbean breeze, a cool Canadian summer night. Stars sparkling how you like it, Jeshua is there; in the face of the angel child, the granny who built this country, and her granny who built the old country. Your sister is in trouble; have time for her. Your child is wandering; invite him home for Holy Days.

And on the Fourth Day, Henry Threadgill was among those who kept the flame burning in the Modern Era of Music. He played an alto saxophone, somewhere near the border of Egypt and Heaven, with visits to Arabia, Itopia, Rome and Greece. Thus saith Orpheus of Zion, One of the Ones who knew Who could Play.

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. Holy Tafari stands forever as a testament, a living, breathing, healing, Life-Giving celebration of Christ.

And the Rastaman did visit the Garden, and sat upon a rock and the Youth therein did sit before Him and listen to His story. Your I-Land is flat, and you have treated all the land as equal. Let I tell what happened in I country, Jahmaica. The Blue Mountain coffee was being sold at a world leading price, even ten dollars and more per pound, and was known as the finest coffee on earth, yet trouble was brewing in the hills, for there was inequity in the land. The man of Mile Two was happy, for the price was generous and the cuppa tasted smooth. At Mile Three, the blend was satisfying, even uplifting, and the benefits seemed more than fair. At the peak of Four Miles High, the Lords believed everything was in balance, for the taste seemed perfect and the gold was exactly the amount requested.

Rasta have no church but Etiopia, for the whole of the Earth is Jah domain. One cannot hide from Satan or God in a building, and most cannot find salvation there either. Accept the words of Jeshua, find one sentence, one phrase that you can live by, and miracles will happen before your very eyes. Many will come in Jah name, saying "I am He, pick me!", with the crowd responding "Tell us when, this will be!", and the noise building, but do not be concerned. The sacred Burning Bush of Moses, the Ark of David and Solomon, the New Wine of Jeshua of Nazareth, all survive and thrive in the Ethiopian Church, the Twelve Tribes in Jamaica, Jah Musicians everywhere and millions of Rastafari globally.

Every country in the United Nations, Bless You
Every People on every Island on Earth, Grace You
Every Faith that believes in beneficence, Love You
Jah Jah Provider, Loving, tender Provider; Need You

He was the greatest Christian of the 20th Century, as great as any ever; inspiration of the UN, creator of the OAU. Listen to Jahseph, My Children. As in Adam, all die; even so, in Christ, shall all be made alive. When you hear Him say, I am the Light, you think He’s being metaphorical, allegorical; illusory even. Not I; I Believe He’s telling the Truth! In time, everyone will understand Jah, and overstand Earth. With Jeshua reigning, To Teach Peace belongs to all, and why worship old gods anyway? For what are our tribes but the remnants He told Us We would have to cast away. Yea, it’s Jeshua’s 2000th Birthday, even the animals know something’s up. We told you He would rise on the Third Day, now all of those living Give Thanks. Getaye, Getaye, Getaye, Chinkih Aleke.

Believe only in Jah; in the LORD, the Messiah named Jeshua, Who exposed the hypocrisy of violence, for all mankind, for all time. Many call themselves Sons of Abraham, the House of David appears crowded. Yet who is drawing energy from the sun, Who is tending my hemp garden? Do you not remember the Brook of Kanah, how it traversed the hill country of Ephraim? How it meandered from the Great Sea unto the high mountains north of Shiloh? Did Samaria, Tirzah and Shechem not also reap of My Bounty? Give of yourself to the Light of the LORD, Live each day to Honour Jah! Let us Give thanks for Revelations, for Thy Blessings have carried us to this day, and carry us forward in Your universe. My father Jacob wept over me, so listen, My Children; pay attention, My Beloved. If ye are to scorn one another, see, children, how much I endured, that I not put My Brothers to shame. See, My Children, this story, and learn from this also. See, that I not scorn My Sisters, for they, also, are Human and Divine.

I have made the earth and created Humankind upon it. With My hands I stretched out the Heavens, and commanded the sun, the moon and the stars. I have raised HIM up in righteousness; I will direct all of His Ways. He shall build My Holy City: Tafari, Inafrica. He shall free those in captivity. It is true that Imram must be buried two times: first in Kanehda, then with Her, in the Valley of Kings.

All across the nation word spread that the Surete and the Army had four thousand troops, and We wanted at least six or seven thousand Human Beings to counteract them. From Tripoli tall Men came, and Women from the Maritimes, and Youth from the north, and from all over Israel and Palace Time and the whole of Kanehda and Amharica. Zion sent many foot soldiers, as the troubles were on the west edge of East Jerusalem.

He continued His Work of Inspiration and Education and Enlightenment, helping the Good People come to understand that the Light may flow through Her and Him, and that Jah Goodness of Earth is both His and Hers. As the New Prince in town may say, This is where You end, and You and I begin.

People played chicken, Souls were being worn down, humans walked away and returned to their homes. Yet the siege was not over. The water cannon came out in November, and the will faded, and arguments broke out, and the Brethren were saddened as the battle seemed to be ending with no resolution and no justice.

The Medi Men formed a circle, and began brewing the holy water around three in the afternoon. It was time for the Ghost Dance, evening settled in, and the moon was very full and bright. It was now nine at night, and there was an electric tension in the air.

I heard a cry as of a woman in travail,
Anguish as of one bringing forth Her first Child
The cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
Stretching out Her hands, crying, Woe is Me!
I am fainting before murderers.

Jeremiah’s angel swam restlessly through I Soul; I Loved Her, yet could not find Her. I saw Her in visions, heard Her laugh and cry, then studied Jah Bible some more. I prayed and I stayed steadfast to the LORD, and early in the New Light, I was sent on a mission.

Through Ras Tafari, Emperor Haile Sellassie I, Might of the Trinity, we learn wisdom and devotion, discipline and will. By Robert Nesta Marley, Berhane Sellassie, Light of the Trinity, we are inspired, enthralled, educated and anointed. Yes darling, you are among Us, the eternally anointed whom Jah hath chosen to spread peace and good tidings, instilling visions of the solar world to come.

Double Hueys were everywhere, the twin-bladed helis that scare up the night. The Youth were furious, and elated, and concocted a sporting plan. There was to be a large game of lacrosse, with many fans, and things might just get a little out of hand.

Evil is the penalty of imperfection, misadaptation to analysis and experience; We ascend from partial and temporal, to complete and Eternal. My Brethren and Sistren, read and overstand and overcome. I shall speak out freely, I shall praise Jah every which way. Now you who understand My parables, who penetrate the origins of knowledge and who hold fast to the wonderful mysteries; think about this. Why even the simple, the devious, the stiffnecks and the baldheads, are able to hear my humanity. Who among you seeks the presence of Light and Illumination, by the angels of Jah? Behold, I have foretold you All things; there is nothing hid, nothing kept secret.

The Youth were playing and the game was moving across the landscape, just like Jerusalem, and then the teams and the followers were right upon the enemy. In true trojan horse fashion they swarmed the Surete, took over the cars and the guns and the nightsticks, and pummeled the officers a bit, though not to hurt them, just to teach them a lesson. The young rebels then took the tower, while the army was providing non-stop rock’n’roll through gigantic loudspeakers the entire time, and this is the Truth of it!!! The kids destroyed sixteen cop cars with fire and a backhoe, and the army flipped, and set off the biggest cannon you ever saw or heard.

He returned, and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy, and there was none to answer him. He cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth Me is at hand. I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day, for when the night comes, no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. My Brethren, ye are all the Children of Light, and the Children of Day. We are not of the night, nor of darkness, therefore, let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are drunk in the nighttime. We are of the day; Our armour is Faith, Love, Hope and Salvation.

When the cannon went off, the sky exploded. First, a hugely blazing shooting star that screamed across the night sky from west to east, as if the blast had heralded it. Then a massive shower of shooting stars coming from the north to the south, thirty three in all. It was the greatest night of Our Lives, all the Young People believed. There was laughter and joy and Togetherness in the air; satan had been humiliated, and for a moment, Life was great fun.

It was during the Babylon By Bus tour, and the Wailers were making a stop in Jerusalem, also known as Bob Marley’s Town. The show was at the world-renowned Make Believe Gardens, and Patrobas did have an opportunity to reason and commune with Seeco and Fams and the Brethren that evening. And Brother Bob was grateful and pleasant when receiving His new Bible, which was actually an old, well treasured Good Book, brought in offering to the Most High. It is a true story that the last time Haile Tafari saw Nesta in a physical manifestation, was that very night, for as He ascended the stairs to the tour bus, He was cradling Jah Book in His arm, and His Spirit was High, and in that instant, the world was Good.

Ellen Gabriel and Momogeeshick were among the Wise Ones who gave proper counsel to the Youths, and Alanis Obamsawin made a film about the wider conflict, from the viewpoint of Her family’s land. We were okay for awhile, but the end was nearing. Bourassa was still trying to ram James Bay down everyone’s throats, in the days before Matthew subdued him. There was still much macho bravado, among the pure wool types and other tribal forces, yet it was indeed a watershed in Kanehdian herstory.

Yea, I found Jeshua’s people half asleep by the river, in Ethiopia, Egypt, Israel and Palestine; in Toronto and Alexandria. Believe only in the One: Isa Iyasu. For Jahshua, Blessed Yeshua, humanchild Jesus, LORD of the Lord of Lords, KING of the King of Kings, did indeed visit this planet to deliver us from all sin. With a spirit of seven, I view the earth through two eyes. One from the Creator, Jeshua; One from His Defender, Jahnhoy. I am: Eye Sellassie I, Affirmation of Jah Trinity. Arise! Be not afraid! Jeshua’s people form the body of Jah Kingdom, a nation that lasts for one thousand years, and then Eternity. Peace of the Son is the Unifier.
