RasTafarIWork,
I&i find a pleasant similarity in the words of the angel in Revelation and those of Haile Selassie I Himself:
"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." - Revelation 19:10
"Do not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ." - Haile Selassie I
While I&i understand His Majesty to be JAH (the same a Jesus and JAH were always One, despite the temporary flesh & blood incarnation), I&i see H.I.M. saying this for the same reason as the angel: To direct worship to the totality of the Most High (in H.I.M.'s case, Jesus Christ ascended and no long flesh), not simply to the earthly incarnation.
"But seek ye first the Kingdom of JAH and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33
