4 "I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
behold Philis'ti-a, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said,
This and that man was born in her:
and the Highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people,
that this man was born there.
Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there:
all my springs are in thee".
Haile Selasie I, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root (D.N.A.) of David (King), the King of Kings, Lord of lords, 225 Emperor of the 2700 year old Hebrew / Christian Kingdom of Ethiopia, was born Tafari Makonnen in a small hillside village by the name of Ejarsa Goro, not far from the region of Harar outside of what is now present day Addis Ababa Ethiopia. He is the son of many generations of Ethiopians who, in a Kingly line proceeding from the Bloodline of king Solomon and King David of the Bible, kept the Pearl or the D.N.A. of the Hebrew line of Judah pure enough so that The Lion Of Judah, The Lamb in the book of Revelations, The Returned Christ, (Haile Selasie I) HIM self could arrive on earth, through this Family. His mothers name was Wayzaro Yashimabet the lawfully wedded wife to his father His Higness Ras Makonnen.
His Birth was a humble but festive occasion. The backdrop of the Ethiopian Royal Family's homeland is dotted with rolling hills, green mountains, rushing rivers, grazing sheep and and sweet grasses. The land is pure and World War One was still an unthinkable fire, it was July 23, 1893.
The Battle of Adwa began as invading Italian forces attempted to capture Ethiopia and consequently kill the Royal family and therefore the 3 year old Tafari (Haile Selasie I) on March 1, 1896 (Indeed 113 years ago this very day by my watch). This Battle is one of the greatest military defeats and Triumphs as Italy is utterly defeated by the Ethiopian soldiers under young Tafari's uncle, the Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia.
Menelik II the Emperor of Ethiopia, was the son of Tafari's fathers brother, King Hayla Malakot. Menelik II was first the King of Shoa, then the Emperor of Ethiopia.
These were the late 1890's, horse back, swards, bows and rifles were still the only method of broad scale fighting. The Italian forces failed in their attempt take Ethiopia, kill Tafari, and retrieve the Ark Of the Covenant that had been brought to Ethiopia by King Solomon's first born son with the Queen of Sheeba: Queen Mekeda, 2700 years before.
Their Son was named Menelik I. It was the year 777BC, and while visiting his father King Solomon in Israel HE and a group of 1st born Israelites were instructed by GOD to take the ARK OF THE COVENANT to Ethiopia before the falling of Israel and Judah by the Babylonians. So the Ark, the Blood Line of the house of Israel and the culture of laws called the Mitzva given by Yava to Moses in the desert mountain, with the help of the Angel Gabriel were all taken away into Ethiopia via this movement.
The 2700 old Ethiopian Scroll called The "Kebra Nagast" or "Glory of Kings", known to the world since the 2nd World War is an intricate part of the Bible but not included because of prophecies contained in Revelations chapters 5 through 10, exm. 10:1-7 then verses 8-11 of the same chapter. The writings in The kebra Nagast describe the meeting of King Solomon of Israel, and Queen Makeda of Ethiopia, the birth of Menelik I in the Homeland of Ethiopia, Menelik's leaving Ethiopia at age 22 to meet his father Solomon in Israel, of the supernatural activities that occurred during the moving of the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia, and of the survival of the Law, the Ark of the Covenant between Jehovah and the Israelite Hebrews, and the Hebrew bloodline of Kings in the Kingdom of Ethiopia.
This in effect, stopped the conquering Babylonians in 576 B.C. from capturing what is the very essence if the Hebrews, and of Israel its self: the Judaic Bloodline of kings, The Book of the Law, and the Ark of the Covenant, all of which were safely taken away to the Kingdom of Sheba, Kush, Midian or Ethiopia as we know it.
That was 2,700 years ago. Flash forward now 700 years to the time of Christ where Jesus mentions this very situation in Matt. 12:42, and also Luke 11:31.
So by failing to capture Ethiopia in the Battle of Adwa and therefore stop the growth of The Returned Christ on earth, under Menelik II, the Italian forces began to see the wonders, horror and redemption of the 20th century to unfold before their eyes. It was the dawn of World War 1. The roman church at that time knew then that their world of Biblical misrepresentation was as a house built on sinking sand, and that it was quickly coming to an abrupt and Supernatural end.
By the age of 19 the young Ras (or Prince) Tafari Makonnen had become the Governor / Regent of a Provence called Harrar in Ethiopia. Having studied extensively abroad in Europe and in his Homeland, the young Tafari proved himself to be an exceptional Governor after the likes of his father His Highness Ras Makonnen, the Governor before him.
Ras Makonnen Haile Selasie I's father was the son of the Princess Tanagna Warq, the daughter of the great King Sahla Sellasse of Shoa. His father was Dejazmatch Walda Mika'el Walda Malakot of the Doba and Manz nobility. He was born on the 8th of May 1852 at a place called Darafo Maryam in the district of Gola. ( pp. 13 of "My Life and Ethiopias progress).
Ras Tafari later became Married to Queen Mennen and became Crown Prince and Regent Plenipotentiary (1911-1916).
The Emperor Menelik II became ill and died around this same time, leaving only Ledj Iyasu, Ras Tafari's desirous cousin to reign as Emperor of Ethiopia. Due to the levels of corruption that was prevalent in Ledj's administration, wanting to conspire with the enemies of Ethiopia for the gaining of alms and personal wealth. It was deemed necessary to act in behalf of the Nation and the Sanctity of the Royal family. In 1915 Ledj was asked to step down from his post as Emperor, but he refused. He instead banded himself together with a group of tribal worriers and opposed the royal family. The Young Tafari Makonnen was called by the newly appointed Empress Zauditu, Daughter of the late Emperor Menelik II and his 1st cousin to lead the march against these Ethiopians who had caused the great rift.
The initial contact was between two cousins with the passing of many letters, but due to Ledjs constant desire for power, on the morning of August 27th, 1917 a fierce battle on the fields of Ethiopia ensued. Brother against brother for the dignity of the Christian faith and the Hebrew Royal family. The battle raged, but in the end it was the young Tafari Makonnen that was left standing. Fulfilling Prophecy written in EZEKIEL 30: 1-9. Ledj was no more. It was the 27th of September 1916. Tafari (Haile selasie I) was 23 years old.
Ras Tafari Makonnen then quickly began to modernize His Homeland of Ethiopia, abolishing slavery throughout the land, and later with the help of the Empress Zauditu, Ethiopia was able to join the Newly formed League of Nations in the year 1923. This was seen as a positive move forward in Ethiopias modernization and also its position of defense in the affairs of nations as it pertained to war. The whole land of Ethiopia was then steeped in celebration.
His Majesty Haile Selasie I would later write: "The rejoicing was for no reason other than that We thought that the Covenant of the League would protect us from the sort of attack which Italy has now [1935-1936] launched against us" (p. 77 of My Life and Ethiopia's Progress).
In the years to come, Empress Zauditu would herself die and so on November 2nd 1930, Tafari Makonnen ascended the Throne and Bore the Title King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Rood Of Kind David. Fulfilling the prophecy contained in: Daniel 7: 9-10 & 22 and Revelation 5:5. (soon 19:11-21, Chapt. 20, 21, 22.) He revealed to the world his "New Name" HAILE SELASIE I (Power of the Holy Trinity), fulfilling the prophecy in: Isaiah 62: 2 and Revelation 3:12.
Shortly after this in 1936, the fascist Axis powers again tried to invade Ethiopia, seeking Haile Selasie I life and also the Ark of the Covenant. The League of Nations refused to aid Ethiopia, and so Selasie I bought the armies of Britain and France with Ethiopian Gold and Treasure then took them into War to defend Ethiopia against the fascist and to rest again on the Royal Throne of King David, Solomon and Israel.
The evil fascist Axis powers were defeated again. Nobody can defeat "Mr. Strong" as was his code Name to the Allied Powers. It was the dawn of World War II, the years were 1936 to 1941. In fact, one can argue that this act on the part of the Italian forces was the catalyst by which WWII was begun. By the Leagues refusal to aid Haile Selasie after he had presented his case before them, they in effect gave the Axis fascist the go ahead to invade Ethiopia and Poland.
The Book Of Revelations PROPHECY 5:5 "....Weep not, for The Lion of Judah has prevailed to break the 7 seals" had come to pass and in 1941, the world knew it, and knew H.I.M. REVELATIONS 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.MATTHEW 12:42 "The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."DANIEL 7: 9-10 "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.11I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame."It was it this point that the Biblical Nazarite movement called the Rastafarian faith took hold in the island nation of Jamaica in 1933. See Bible book of Numbers chapter 6. Revelation 5: 8-10.
In the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's, Haile Selasie I did PREVAIL and remained The Light of Truth and Justice in the earth, and as The Returned Christ on earth he taught love to all the nations. As the Field Marshal of the earths armies (funded the allied powers with Ethiopian Gold and Treasure during WWII), he forbade World War ever again. he went to the Caribbean to meet with the Rastafarians in 1966, giving Rastas land in the hills of Ethiopia called Shashamene (Sha Sha Men ne) in order to escape the mark of the beast. He gave us all the great and good people that were born in the 20th century. He carried them to earth with him to completely change our world, and to modernize Ethiopia for the next exciting phase described in Revelations 21, the decent of the Jeweled city of Jerusalem from the heavens. From there Haile Selasie I will rule with the Law and the power of all the Universe. One love ~ written by Israel "Iron-I" Joseph-I 3.1.2009
