Greetings sons and daughters of the most high JAH RASTAFARI
My opinion on this myth is that: the monk in the picture is not, and cannot be His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I. In one of His speeches His Divine Majesty tells us that the bible is the rallying point for all humanity. Of all the prophets in the holy scripture who prophesy of the coming of an upright branch/shoot/root of David/Jesse who will reign uprightly in the land and do what is righteous; who will free his people from the yoke of the oppressor/who will establish uprightness and justice in the land etc,,, none of them(the prophets) mentions that at one point in His life the king will become a [bahitawi] monk. They all say that the king will reign upon the throne of David and his reign will have no end. King[and prophet and priest] David the Nyahbinghi chanter of psalms, God speaking through him, puts it more clearly in psalm 2 verse 6 : "Yet I have set my King upon my holy hill of Zion"
Let us note here that Zion is the habitation of God's glory, and is where the throne of the Almighty is set. Its also where the thrones of judgement are set. In the Revelations[of Jesus of things to take place in the future to his beloved disciple John so he can prophesy to the nations] chapter twelve, I&I sight that a queen shall give birth to a man child, who will rule the nations with an iron scepter, and the dragon/beast with 7 heads(kings, one afterthe other, the seventh being satan himself) and ten horns(ten kings who put their power and armies at the disposal of the dragon) shall stop infront of the woman so he can eat the child as soon as he's born, but the boy shall be caught up to God and [to] his throne.
I sight that the bible explains quite well where our God and King is at the moment. On God's throne, which is ZION. Jah Love be with one and all. Selah.
