Greetings and Peace be to Brothers and Sisters.There is a book that I think , can resolve the issue concerning Rasrafarian and Christianity, based upon the very Words of the King Himself, This book entitled "TESTIMONY OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY,HAILE SELASSIEI, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH" written by Karl Phillpotts Naphtali, and published by Zewd publishers is available at African World Books, or going through Amazon or Nicholos Reggae supplies or by E Mailing the Author ,A Rastafarian, at zewdpublishers@verizon.net.
If we claim to be disciples of His Imperial Majesty Majesty,then logically we should follow His example and His Words.

The interview on Irie FM with Prophet Gad , does not deny in any statement, the Divinity of His Imperial Majesty. By Divinity, we mean Godlike in character, having the Mind of Christ as we are commanded to, being filled with the Words of Jah.

This the prophet has taught. That God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. It is the Word that is God. However he goes on to teach,as in the Holy Scriptures, that man's body is the Temple of the Living God, Jah therefore works through man. As the King says "I am an instrument in the hands of the Almighty".YAHWEH means,"the self existing One who continously reveals Himself".He does not depend upon anyone or thing to exist, ever was, ever is and ever shall be, without mother or father or beginning or end of days.

Now the first King of Israel was Jah Himself, Who because of the sins of man a gulf was created between God and man,and only accepted special persons , sanctified such as the Levitical Priests to stand before Him and offer atonement on their behalf.Also he used other Chosen persons Prophets and Priests, to reveal His Mind and Message regarding His Will and the course of this Age, and regarding the Age to come,
Now because the fleshy minds of Israel could not concieve the existence and presence of God as their Spiritual Eternal King, they asked Samuel the Prophet to give them a KIng like the Nations around them.Samuel was very upset as He knew Jah was their King, The Eternal I AM, and he and all the former Judges and Prophets were his chosen spokepersons.But Jah told Samuel to hearken to the voice of the people. Samuel then anointed Saul to sit on the Eternal's Throne. This was a significant stage in the relationship between Jah and His people. The Anointing, or Christining, or Messianic appointment, of Kings to represent the Father to mankind, signalled the institution of God"s Kingdom on earth in the hands of Kings of Israel. Saul failed to live up to the Eternal's throne requirements and was rejected and then David of the House of Judah(which was foreordained, Gen 49)was Anointed as the Messianic figure to be God's representative. When Anointed by Samuel it is said that "the Spiorit of the Lord rested upon Him from that day onwards". As David said "The Lord spoke by me , His words were in my mouth". David and his descendants were chosen by an eternal Covenant to Represent Jah throughout all generations, which has come down to Ethiopia because of the Union of Solomon and Sheba.

So even the Ethiopian tradtion holds to the fact that their King sits upon God's throne and awaits the final coming of the Immortal Yeshua or Jesus, or Shiloh the one who will finally return to institute the Messianic Kingdom Age, and overthrow the existing unjust Social, Political and and economic existing order. This is why Yeshua was not merely a descendant of David as the other Kings. He was David's Lord, as David confessed that "the Lord said unto my Lord,sit thou at my right until I make thine thine enemies thy footstool".As Jesus asked the Saducees, "how then do you say Messiah is Davids descendant and David is callig Messiah Master? This is telling us that Jesus , the Messiah who is described as The Logos, the Word or Concept, Idea, was with Jah,in the beginning, to be manifested to redeem fallen man in sending a Seed that would destroy the curse of the Devil, Death.And restore the Garden of Eden immortality , end oppression and injustice and usher in Peace,in this restored the Kingdom of God on earth

So this Title Christ or The annointed was bestowed on all the prophets Kings and priests sent by God with His Word or Message. They too in Hebrew were called Messiahs.But they having succomed to the fate of Adam, ie Mortality, could not accomplish establishing the Kingdom on earth in its eternal form. So David and all the others went to sleep but had the faith that their Flesh rested in hope, ie ressurection, through the coming of the Master Messiah ,the Master Prophet, Yeshua (Jesus) who through obedience to the will of His Father conquered death and regained the Immortal status that Adam had lost and paid the Price (redemption) from the consequences of sin, death and now able to give this life to us that beleive that he is the One found worthy , the Lamb, to redeem us out of every nation , kindred and tongue. And the Faithful will reign with him as Kings and priests on the earth in the Goverment of Jah on earth. This is what his disciples did not understand that the Messiah would first have to be crucified, rise from the grave with an immortal Glorious Body, ascend to His Father to receive the Authority to bestow immortality to the past and present faithful, in The Age to come. Only after His ressurection when he spoke with them from the Books of the Law and the Prophets that he opened their understanding to the Scriptures.They had thought that the Kingdom was to be set up without Atonement or A price for their Sins, and thought perhaps that the blood of bullocks and Rams was suffice. But for the one to assume the throne and establish it forever upon the throne of David, he first had to defeat the sting of the serpent, Death, to be the Champion who the Devil can not stop, as he stopped the others before Him.

Sorry to be so lenghty, but it even needs more time and prayer as we evolve or grow to understand His Word and our understanding be opened to the Scriptures,

So His Imperial Majesty, of the House of Judah , Elect (not of Himself but) of Jah, and the Royal House are chosen to represent and sit on Gods throne, to be the temple that represents Him.His Majesty is a Messianic person, representing Jesus Christ, as Jesus had prior to the coming of His Majesty had already accomplished an immortay body of his own, which does not have to be born or reincarnate in another to return. He will return in the like manner as we saw him as is the same Jesus , Yesterday , Today and forever.Remember too. if we accept the Bible as our King instructs us to , we will see that Jesus was sent by Jah directly into the womb of Mariam. ie without cohabitation. A Miracle.A new creation, just as Adam was created by the spoken Word. All the others of the House of David came through cohabitation. Thus Jesus is the uncohabited body of Christ, of Messiah, who is destined to sit on David's throne to establish it forever and ever. His Imperial Majesty Haile SelassieI represents the cohabited body of Christ that holds the scepter until Shiloh , the man Jesus returns to fulfill the promise made to Him.Give thanks. Selah! Amen.
