Haile Selassie’s mother (Yeshimabeit) previously conceived eight children all of whom died in child birth. Now, on July 23, 1892 (Leo the Lion – July 23-Aug. 22) the dragon returned to Yeshimabeit to devour her ninth child as well. But he could not because this one (Haile Selassie) was coming to rule the nations with a rod of iron (or sceptre). When the dragon failed to abort this birth, he drew stars from the skies with its tail. This is not literal, but a representation of celestial fireworks, which was the lightning Christ said would accompany His return to earth. And indeed there was a lightning running from east to west at the moment Haile Selassie was born, bringing rains to a country which was hitherto strangled by drought.
Lately Iwombman have also been thinking along these lines. Yes I.
Reading still...
Here is a nice way to understand the Holy Trinity: take a cup of water (H2O) and freeze it into ice; it is now a totally different thing (or state) yet it is the same cup of water or H2O. Take this same cup of water and boil it. It soon evaporates into thin air – every drop. It is still the same cup of water transformed into vapour. Let’s say the liquid is the Son; the ice is the Father; and the vapour is the Holy Spirit. As a ventriloquist can throw his voice, God can do likewise. But whereas the ventriloquist has to move his lips, God can throw His voice without a tremble of His mouth.
Jesus had a nice way of revealing that He was God. God ordered that His angels should worship His Son (Heb. 1:6). But Jesus has some bad news for us when He declares in Matthew 6:24 that we cannot worship or serve two masters, which means we either worship the Father and forsake the Son; or worship the Son and reject the Father. However, the good news is that He is both the Father and the Son so we can go ahead and worship whichever one – it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other. He confirms this in John 14:1 “Ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
This explanation seems to make sense, and I&I have heard Christians use the same thought process. But this idea leads logically to a further extent than some seem to follow. If water is boiled and thereby water vapor created, this is a graduated process. At a point there will be some liquid water and some vapor water. Is this also the way the Trinity works? For example, does Jesus being on Irth mean that there is less "Father" in heaven? Or none at all? Obviously not... So the metaphor does not really explain how the Trinity is One and All at the same time - like molecules of water being frozen and vapor at the same time. I am just pointing out that the overstanding of the infinite nature of JAH is a little higher than the knowledge of chemistry...

Give thanks I. Iwombman agree with many points in the article, and especially enjoy seeing the comparison between the facts of His Majesty's life and the scriptures. Without a doubt, Iwombman declare that Haile Selassie I did fulfill prophecies in Revelation, and that HIM is JAH; although I am not sure I agree with the conclusions that the author draws about the implications of those prophecies being fulfilled.
