Some Excerpts of Reasoning, from Ras Tafar I Elders: His Foundation is inn the hola mountains. Jah loveth the gates of Zion more than the dwelling places of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, o city of Jah. Selah. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know I; behold Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said. This and that man was born in her; and the highest himself shall establish her. Jah shall count, when he writeth up the people that this man was born there. Selah. As well as the singers as well as the players of instruments shall be there; all my springs are in thee. (Psalm 87) With these titles bestowed upon HIM, the fulfillment of the biblical prophesies of the return of Jesus Christ had come of age. The final trumpet was sounded in Ethiopia, heralding the opening of the seven seals and rising up of the sleeping disciples in whose heart was written the commandments of ancient livity. The die was cast, the birth and growth of the Rastafari in the Caribbean was quick and decisive. It spread throughout the four corners of the earth at lightening speed, people of all races gathered to reason about the coming of the King of Kings. As the personality of His Imperial Majesty unfolded to the world, the green, gold and red flag of the Lion of Judah became the only flag flown internationally, by people of all races and nationalities. Rarely does the story of a man become so closely knitted to the plight of the worlds suffering masses. In this era of heightened Pan-Africanism and the cry for freedom and the rights of humankind, the name and personage of the Emperor has become a guiding light for Third World revolutionaries. Rasta musicians and philosophers have echoed this relentless fight for equality and justice throughout the world. The Emperors speech to the League of Nations of the impending Italian invasion in 1935 was not of religion, but one of distinct revolution and changes to global practices. Very few world leaders have had the conviction to engage in actual battle alongside their troops, as was the case of His Imperial Majesty against the invading Italian forces of Benito Mussolini. In its brief occupation of Ethiopia, Italy never became rulers of the Ethiopian people; Ethiopia had never been ruled by a foreign ideology or power, not until 1975 when the Marxism- influenced Derg staged a coup did Ethiopia succumb to a foreign ideology, which was the very thing that Haile Selassie resisted.
