Chapter One - Beginning is Word
YHWH
IamHotep
I Peace Joseph
We believe in a Supreme Being, and in Jah Chosen People. I and I believe that Our Works and Our Life are what is important, and through Love can each be made Divine. For by the power of the Creator there is brought forth Music, and the people rejoice, and they Dance.

This is the story of the earthly Utopia, La Heavana Musica, where the Word transforms the Life and the Sacred Musicians are once again respected throughout the Land. Listen to the Words of Berhane Sellassie, His Honourable Robert Nesta Marley, for therein may ye be set on the path of righteousness and truth and all-forgiving tenderness. For Jah People did remember and envision Thoth and Sesheta, the first builders; Inity of the Holy Host. Upon that foundation emerged Yahowah, who built a Temple to the Energy of the Sun at Djoser, at Saqqara, and pulled order from chaos, and would One Day build a Holy City. In the Beginning of literacy He created Adama, in the image of YHWH, the Scion and the Father of the Holy Spirit within Each of Us.

We are basically trying to compress twenty nine hundred years and more of Biblical history and the journeys of the Chosen onto about one hundred years of modern music, while bringing forth the Love on both fronts. Remember the time from about 700 ad to 1100 ad, when Muslims and Jews ruled the world together. Remember the days of Thebes, when David and Solomon and Moses and Joseph did all lead the people, and the amount of unity and wisdom brought forth during that century equals and then surpasses the volume of wickedness and destruction witnessed during the twentieth century. Recall when Jeshua confronted the clergy, yet stood silent in front of the cops. Brethren, Jah Emperor saith thus, The generation that can learn from I Teachings is Blessed, their efforts rebounding to everlasting benefit of all.
I seh unto ALL of You, Children of Adama, of Noah, of Abraham, of David, Solomon, Moses, of Judah and Joseph, of Buddha and Confucius, of Father Sky and of Mother Earth, of Jeshua and Muhammad, and indeed of Sellassie and Marley: Listen to the Words of the Lion and the Lamb; if You utilize these in Your daily Living, then all will be well in Addis and Jerusalem and Tafari and throughout Kanehda and the world.
In the Beginning is Jah Word, and the Prophet Marcus Garvey arose, and did lead Jah People unto higher heights. Then His Majesty ascended the Throne, and the world was astonished. Among the First to recognize and Proclaim His Divinity were the Three Wise men: Brother Leonard, Saint Joseph, and Vizier Archibald.
I am driven by my longing, and my overstanding consciousness, that I should now commence my singing, and begin my recitation. I will sing the people's legends, and the ballads of the nations. Through my mouth the words are flowing, with lyrics gently falling, as quickly as my tongue can shape them, from between my teeth emerging....
Let us clasp our hands together,
Let us interlock our fingers;
Let us sing a cheerful measure,
Let us use our best endeavours,
While our dear ones hearken to us,
And our loved ones are instructed,
With the young ones standing by us,
Of the Bright and Rising generation;
Let them learn the words of magic,
And recall Our Songs and legends,
Our Love of Life and Legacy.

The Prince of Prophecy traveled north to Jerusalem, for word of the prowess of Israel’s musicians had spread to the edges of Egypt, even unto the Large Apple. And They gathered at Colony Tavern by the River of the Tree of Life, Jah Brook of Kanah, and They played Joyous Music throughout the night until dawn and beyond. And so Kanahda’s favourite sons were called forth unto Egypt, that is, Amharica and the world, and They became Brethren to Jah Prophet, leading the way on the road to Woodstock.
And Orpheus presented a List of Nine, and upon the list was Cecil Taylor, crucial pianist from the fifties unto this very day.

As Jah Saints Go Marching into La Heavana Musica, think beyond the names found herein; reminisce about their sidemen and Musical Brethren, their sisters and wives, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons and grandchildren and cousins, their friends and mentors and students. Think too of their colleagues, for even in the Book of Music it is not possible to include all worthy Musicians and their true supporters, for they are numerous and One is being born just now. Robert Nesta Marley, Robert Allan Zimmerman, John Winston Lennon; These Three are very special to I. The rest will be in no particular order, for music is not a sport, and every Soul ranks Her favourites in a different manner.

Seed the planet with wisdom, Jah Good Children of Light. If you find someone You Love in Jahsheba Zion, La Heavana Musica, let that be Your Key and a guide upon Your route to Harmony. Cherish the Love, let the Light pour in, and Give Thanks and Praises to the LORD. Listen to a tale of Yuya, known to many as Joseph or Jahseph, and Tuya, the Biblical Asenath, often called herein Isheba or version. These Two are among the main progenitors of the Wisdom and Light of the First Testament. It was God who drove out the enemy force in the Holy City. Jah gave Us the Word to Sanctify and preserve, and provided Us with His Covenant for the Day of Eternal Peace.

When Your Prince or Princess arrives, You will know it and feel it with all of Your mind, body, heart and Soul. The King says to the Youth, that Love is unconditional, it is Divine; Jah LORD Above tells I that Your Day will come, and the Earth shall rejoice in happiness with You. For You will meet a Soul of Jah, the one who makes You feel Inspired beyond belief, and Loved beyond measure.

Still, Yutef saith unto Pentipheres, If She is Your Daughter, then She is my Sister. If She is of the LORD, then truly We are already One. Holy Father, I only ask one thing of You. If You would be so endearing as to bless this union in the name of El Shaddai, I believe there will be rejoicing in the Heavens and upon the earth. And Yuya and Tuya were indeed married and brought forth a noble reign of such wisdom and peace, that it is still talked about to this day.

Hemp, bee pollen, bitter herbs, wild berries and water were what kept Us alive when crossing the Sinai, a tortuous, mystical journey. Sha Bee brings Us Light, from the Candle; Food, from the Pollen; Health, from the Propolis and Royal Jelly; and Joy, through the sweetness of Honey. Jeshua seh that what is hidden is meant to be out in the open, and that all things will be revealed.

Moses was covered by clouds, and said unto Jah, Who are You? And the LORD saith unto Him, I am who I am. Then the cops pulled Jeshua from His cell, and brought Him before the chiefs, saying, so You are the One who says He is the Son of Man? And the LORD sayeth, That is who you say I am. Then Marshall was brought before the premier, and charged with uttering homophobic and misogynist lyrical content, and also charged with being a troubling white influence on the youth of the nations. The ministers said unto him, Are you this masculinist, chauvinist, and rebellious force that we have been forewarned of? And shades answered them thus, shouting, I am whoever you say I am, if I wasn’t, why would I say I am? And Elijah saith, There goes a wolf in wolf’s clothing, and is respecting of the troubled young warrior with the sharp tongue and acute vocabulary.

Yea, Jah brings Peace through birds of the air, herb of the fields, babies in cradles, woman at Our Altar. Wed thee to the Lion and the Lamb, and do not dare ask who I am.

The First Testament tells the story of how Jah People came up out of Africa, out of Ethiopia and Egypt, in two major migrations, led by Hammurabai and Akhenaten. I and I 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. The Second Testament is the Providential Salvation of Jah Lamb, the Light of Israel and the world, the Promise of the Promised Land. The Third Testament is Word of the Defender of Christ and the Faith, Jah Lion of Judah, and of His Disciples throughout the world.

Jesh taught the people courageous things, and annoyed the Sadducees, the Pharisees, and even sometimes Jah Children of Light, the Essentials. He says that all men are equal, women are Divine just as men are, and the message of JHSVH is for All Humanikind, All Children of Light, and not just for the Sons of Abraham. And the earth went completely around the sun one thousand, nine hundred and sixty seven times before the people began to fully feel His Love, see God’s Light, and bring forth Jah Peace.

Prince Elliott had left for Itopia, and as the snow was beginning to melt, and The City beginning to thaw, Elijah received a missive from His first mentor, saying, Sermons and worthy books are always talking of respect for the human personality and of the inviolability of conscience. In the context of our Christian civilization, those phrases have no meaning unless all men are regarded as fundamentally free and equal, each man being of infinite value in himself, bound only by his own conscience; from which it must follow that neither authority nor obedience ought to be taken for granted. If my father, my priest, or my king wants to exert authority over me, if he wants to give me orders, he has to be able to explain, in a way that satisfies my reason, on what grounds he must command and I must obey.

You must take Your time with this, and be very conscious of what Jah wants and what the Good Book says. Minister unto Thyself, and be sure that this is wholly of Jah Creator. Lifeguard returned home to His Temple and began making plans for a new Life in Jerusalem. He knew He had to create Music, and this was the town of the Sacred Musicians.
He was welcomed by a penetrating Light so powerful that all grief immediately vanished. Elijah gently approached Her comforting Spirit; Jah Holy City, Divine Refuge of El Shaddai. She has delivered us from great evils and purified the temple.
Isheba is My DeLight, I True Holy City. Yes, the New Flower of Jerusalem is indeed the Bride of Jeshua, for where the Lion lays with the Lamb, where Elijah sings and Markus teaches, that is the Temple of Jah. And so it move forth, from Addis to Kingston, Toronto to Ababa, maybe even unto Aksum or Messawa and Tafari. Through enlightened leadership, and peaceful protest, shall meaningful change be brought forth, and let it come with full redemption upon the nations. Civil disobedience and non-violence is something that needs to be taught in schools, but not just as a tool for political action, but also as part of a personal growth curriculum. Jeshua, Tolstoy, Thoreau, Gandhi, MLK; the message of These goes beyond the town hall and penetrates the Soul. When Elijah was nineteen and traveling with His guitar all over North America, it was the peaceful message of souls like these that carried Him through.
Your Daughters and Sisters and Mothers and Grandmothers are all Dear Friends. To preserve a friend three things are necessary: Honour Her Presence, Praise Her in Absence, and assist Her in Her Necessities. The glory of Youth is Energy and Strength and Passion for Justice; the divinity of the Aged is in Their Blessed Stories, Life Experiences, Jah Word of the People. Listen to Your Parents and Your Grandparents, My Holy Youth; Yours is the Generation that brings the Peace all the way Home, to jewel Africa, and to beauty baby Gaia. Yea, Mama Africa gave Birth to Us All; Give Thanks and Praises unto the Most High. Mama, Papa; Sister and I Love You Both deeply, need You Daily, and pray to Jah Above for Your Health, Happiness, Eternal Peace in Your Souls, and may You enjoy every day of Your Life. We Love You.
Brother Tran felt confident that the Queen would enjoy and Love Jah Revealing, as She is very wise and knows of the troubles in the lands, but He was always concerned with the Souls of the Younger Sistren, for these must be nourished and nurtured and guided and stewarded as You would a Daughter of Your own loins.
Just as Sister-Saint Judith proclaims that Brother Bob is First Testament Jahseph, I tell You today, that in Le Royaume de Musique, where all the Saints gather to play, He is more. He is Jeshua Christ, who came to save our Souls. He is Elijah, Proclaimer of the Faith. He is David, Master of Song, and Solomon, wisest man in the world. He is Jahn the Baptist, crying from the wilderness unto the nations. He is the Son and Light of Jah Ras Tafari, the rightful heir of Israel and Judah, the Pride of Jahseph, the Favoured Son of all Earth.
Some might say, and who is Elijah that He thinks He can speak for Brother Bob? We do speak and pray unto Bob, but Berhane speaks for Himself. Elijah sayeth, let Us pay tribute to Bob, for He brought Us to attention to stand before His Majesty in Peace. Like Elijah, as Moses, like John the Baptist, We cannot Deny Him, We must always Love and Respect His Voice and Presence.
There are Nine Men of Joseph in this book, and then of course your friendly narrator, EliJahSeph, who would either be the tenth, or a reappearance of IamHotep, or even a secular chronicler like Josephus. In full detail, there are actually Seven apparitions of Joseph, plus Jah Lion and Jah Lamb, Father and Son. In Chapter One We began with the First Joseph, YHWH, Yahowah or IamHotep. Yahowah is the First Leader of Earth. He Created science and medicine, architecture and astronomy, and built a Temple to the Sun. In the Second Chapter, You will meet Inyotef Adama and His Lovely Wife Eva. Inyotef built channels into the desert, to control the outrageous waters of the ferocious Nile, which were at that time threatening the farmlands and villages of Jah Garden.
From the intertwined roots of humanity there arose a Man of North Africa, of Egypt and Palestine, who seeded a Divine Kingdom, wherein Jah World was United at Thebes, Our ancient Jerusalem. His name is Yuya, and His name is Gong, and some days I am that Man.
Zeus said to Narcissus, Watch Yourself ...
Chapter Four brings forth The Wise One, a Spiritual Son of Joseph so Loving and intense that to this very day, twenty nine hundred years after His Life, We still hold the reverence of Solomon as a Sacred Vow; Sol-Amen, Uniter of Lion and Lamb, Judah and Israel, DVD and YHSWH.
In the Fifth Kingdom, meet the Bride of Jeshua and the Children of The Moses, another Son of Yusuf, the One who United Jah People under One God, the One who took the Holy, the poor and dispossessed, the diseased, the convicted and the shunned, and did lead These across the Sinai, to the Land His Father Omri gave Him, and Lived out His Days as Rehoboam. Herein You shall also receive a generous measure of Love.

Chapter Six is livhicated to Zion and to Jahseph, earthly father to Jeshua, unsung hero of the New Testament. For He did raise up Holy Children, even Jeshua, and taught Him the nature and properties of wood, and walked a righteous path of honouring His Foreparents.

Eight is for Ras Tafari, Master and mentor of Joseph, the perfect number for the Redeemer of Ham. For how can Jah Earth survive if Jah People cannot thrive? Let Us teach, and bring forth Peace, and walk in the ways of Christ, as His Majesty hath pleaded unto the nations.

Jah Father is personified on Earth by the Lion of Judah, the Creator of Humanity, the Divine Absolute Monarch who is the Just King, the Defender of the Faith, the Might of the Trinity. His Son is Jeshua, the One who brought the Love and Peace to Humans, Jah Light of the World and the Soul, the fulfilment of Moses’ vision and the Saviour of Earth, the Heart of the Trinity. The Holy Host, or Divine Spirit, is represented by the Most High Governance, the leading edge of knowledge, truth and wisdom, and is manifested in the physical plane through the person of Joseph, and through the offerings of Musicians, like David in days of old, and in I and I time, Robert Nesta Marley, the Light of the Trinity.
Cloud Nine may be envisioned as a special place in Heaven reserved just for Musicians, and Their closest Supporters and Family. In the Upper Wing of Zion, there resides Elijah Marley, Tribe of Joseph, smiling and singing as only He can.
