1.We accept the Holy Bible, from Genesis 1 to
Revelation 22, as the inspired Word of The Most High,
The Father of the Universe.
2.We accept that God is a Spirit, the Creative Word,
and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit
and in Truth, for the Father seeketh such to Worship
Him. (John4vs23-24)
3.We accept that man's body is the Temple of the
living God, and therefore is His Chief instrument.
(1Corinthians3v16, 6v19)
4.We accept and proclaim with all our heart, soul,
mind and strength that Jesus, (known in our Hebrew
tongue as Yeshua) who trod the earth 2000 years ago,
is The Messiah, The Christ, The only begotten Son of
The Father and The Saviour and Redeemer of Mankind.
That He lived the perfect life and paid for our
redemption from the curse of the Law, by His innocent
blood (Hebrew9vs11-15, 22) And because no sin was
found in Him, in that He was obedient to the Father
even unto death, it was impossible for Death, the
curse of the Law, to have dominion over Him. He
therefore died for our sins and rose for our
justification, laying down mortality and putting on
immortality. And as such, being the first fruits of
them that slept (Romans5v19) and restored to the
original form that Adam was created, (i.e. immortal)
it is Him Jesus who has fulfilled the seed that would
come (Genesis3vs15) to bruise the head of the serpent,
the devil, and will restore mankind to immortality and
the Creation to perfection, in the Age to come.
When he returns to overthrow the existing social,
political, economic, and religious disorder and
establish Gods Righteous Kingdom here on the earth
(Daniel 2 vs44, Isiah54vs21-2). He will reign from the
throne of David, from a New Jerusalem, and the
resurrected Saints and the living Faithful will reign
with Him as Kings and Priests upon the earth (Rev5
vs10).
5. We accept that Until then, as the Scripture
teaches, The Kingdom of God will remain in the hands
of the Sons of David, (2nd Chronicles 13vs5,8) to whom
it was given by an everlasting Covenant, (Davidic
Covenant, 2nd Samuel 7) as long as the Sun and Moon
endure. This throne of God, established in the Royal
House of David and King Solomon (2nd Chronicles 9 v 8)
was transmitted to the Ethiopian Royal House via the
Queen of Sheba who carried the Royal Seed from Solomon
to Ethiopia.
6. The Kings of Ethiopia, descended from King David
and King Solomon through Menelek1 are therefore of
Divine origin, meaning that their throne was
established by The Eternal Himself, when the children
of Israel asked for a King, mainly because with their
'fleshy' minds they could not understand that the
Eternal was their King. (1Samuel
8vs1-9)(Psalms10vs16)(1Tim 1v17)
7. We as Rastafarians of the Twelve Tribes of Israel
will never relinquish the Divinity of His Imperial
Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie1. By this we mean that
according to the anointing he has received, according
to the Royal tradition, (1Samuel16vs12-13) the Spirit
of The Most High rests upon him and His Words are in
his mouth and speaks by his tongue. (2ndSamuel
23vs2-3)
We accept His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile
Selassie1 to be the 225th restorer of the Solomonic
Dynasty. Therefore according to the Messianic
Anointing he has received, His Imperial Majesty
represents the Father and His Christ. We therefore
hold that The Eternal Word, Manifested in Our Lord
(Master) Jesus the Christ (Anointed) has been revealed
to us the Rastafarian brethren and sisters of the
twelve tribes of Israel through the personality of His
Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie1.
8.As we accept that God is a Spirit, in the physical
absence of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie
1, the throne as promised will continue in the hands
of the sons of David UNTIL Shiloh comes. Let it be
noted that as His Imperial Majesty has appointed Crown
Prince Zere Yacob Asfa Wossen Haile Selassi1, (14th
April1974) his successor to the throne of David, we
accept that the throne is now in his hands. (See last
two formal pronouncements of Emperor Haile Selassie1
in Edward Ullendorff's Journal of Semitic Studies,
Vol.22, 1977;pp209-210) And this Monarchy, wherever
residing, will continue as a Light to the fact that
the House of David will hold, preserve, and be
custodians of this throne in the earth until Shiloh,
comes.
9. We accept that the Scepter, that is, the Divine
Authority to rule in God's stead or Custodianship of
God's throne will not leave the House of Judah, Until
Shiloh comes (Genesis 49vs10). Kings from this House
have come and have gone, but the one whose right it is
(Shiloh) will be seated upon the throne from
everlasting to everlasting, not temporarily or over a
temporary dispensable Kingdom (St.Luke1vs31-32). This
means that He that is to come will be the immortal
King ruling eternally. He is the Lamb that was slain,
(Rev 5vs 9–10) 2000 years ago in Jerusalem, and rose
from the grave and He whom the Heavens must retain,
((Acts3vs 20-21) UNTIL the restoration of all things
spoken of by the Prophets since the world began (Acts
3vs 25-26). It is this same Jesus (Hebrew13v8,
Acts1v11) the Lamb of God that was found worthy and is
now seated at the right hand of the Father Until He
Has put all enemies under His feet. It is He Jesus,
the non-cohabited body of Christ who will inaugurate
the Kingdom of God in the Age to come, the Millennium,
the reign of Christ for a thousand years. His Imperial
Majesty Haile Selassie1 and the Royal House is the
cohabited body of Christ who holds the throne until
Shiloh comes.
10. We believe that what has been preached in the name
of Christ and in the name of Christianity by most
Churches, has too often been a doctrine about Jesus
but not what Jesus taught. (Galatians1vs6-8). We
believe that when the Roman and Greek mind took over
the interpretation of the Scriptures, instead of the
Hebrew mind, the world was deceived into believing in
another Jesus, the image of a Greek god, rather than
the historical Jesus, the Son of God. (Rev.12vs9)
Jesus was sent by His Father to proclaim or herald
the Good News about the coming Kingdom of God to earth
and that we were to repent and believe in this message
for the Kingdom was at hand or near. (Luke 4v43, Mark
1vs14-15). When we accept this Word, this seed, this
message, we conceive and new life, a new birth occurs
in us, (born again) and 'quickens' us towards
immortality in the Age to come. It is in understanding
and belief upon the Words that Jesus spoke that gives
life, the seed of immortality. (Luke 8vs11-12). And we
must also accept that it is His blood that paid the
ransom to open the gates of immortality once again as
it was in the beginning before the fall of Man. So
shall it be in the end, when all the Saints that sleep
will be awakened, or resurrected with an immortal
glorious body and the creation restored to its
glorious state, as it was in the beginning
(Philippians3vs20-21) (Acts24vs14-15, & 26vs28-23)
11. Those who embrace this Hope, this Faith that the
Twelve Tribes of Israel waited earnestly for day and
night, have the Faith of Abraham and all the prophets
of God. Those are therefore the seed of Abraham and
therefore inheritors of the promises made to Abraham.
This is the Promise of a land - grant, not in the sky
but right here on earth where the Meek shall inherit
the land or earth. It is promised to the Faithful,
IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, NATIONALITY, OR GENDER. These
are the Israel of God, the New Israel. To them will be
given the disputed land when Messiah returns. Those
who have suffered for this faith in Messiah (Christ),
in the regeneration, they will be given twelve
thrones, Judging (administering) the 12 tribes of
Israel. (Luke22v29-30)
12. Until then we believe that Ethiopia is our place
of refuge, as Jacob took refuge in the tents of Ham.
We accept the legitimate right of all African
descendants to Repatriate to the land of our
forefathers, Africa. The land given to us by our King
in Shashamane should be developed to sustain ourselves
during the Great tribulation. This is also part of the
Holy Land.
13. We accept that as followers of His Imperial
Majesty Haile Selassie1, (whose pre- coronation name
was Ras Tafari) we MUST study and obey His teachings
and follow his example and not the traditions, sayings
of anyone which are contrary to his words or the Holy
Bible. His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie 1,
Himself a follower of Jesus, and holding the title of
Defender of the Faith and leader of the most ancient
Christian Nation on earth, Ethiopia, has commanded us
to: “...arise with the spiritual zeal and earnestness
which characterized the Apostles and early Christians
and let us lead our brothers and sisters to Our
Saviour Jesus, Who only give life in its fullest
sense”. If we claim to love Him we should follow His
example and Teachings.
14.We also declare the Prophet Gad as the Rastafarian
who pointed us to the Holy Bible, The Historical
Jesus, The identity of the Twelve Tribes of Israel,
Jerusalem, Shashamanne Ethiopia and the Ethiopian
Royal Family.
Glory be to the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Je sais c'est dur car c'est en anglais, il m'a fallut plusieurs relectures pour comprendre. Néanmoins on y apprend les principes directeurs de cette organisation à laquelle ont appartenues de nombreuses stars du reggae.
Elle existe encore aujourd'hui et est meme très développée, mais il ne faut pas rever il n'y a pas encore de foyers en France.
bonne lecture
