As we are introduced to various cultural experiences we have the propensity to integrate a portion of the culture to
which we are exposed. Cultural experiences lead to the same beginning as the source from which it comes.

Biblical concept of "Alpha and Omega" isn't a Greek meditation, even
if they are the first and the last letter of Greek alphabet. We should
mind firstly where the Greek took out such an idea of order,
considering that their civilization is younger than the Ethiopian
African, and they come from there, as everyone.
Originally, we find in Ge'ez Bible the sentence: "I am the Alpha and the
O". Alpha is another form for "Alief", the first letter of Ge'ez Abughida
alphabet, setting the sound of the 7 vowels, that are therefore called
"alefat".
While "Alpha" is the first vowel (A), "O" is the last vowel of those 7.
The Greek copied from Ethiopia this order in their writing system. So,
please, stop saying that Alpha and Omega is a white man meditation,
for, as always, you cannot understand anything without Ethiopian
biblical knowledge.
In Hebrew its Aleph and Taw, those are the consonants. In Ge'ez we
have the 7 vowels. Western Hebrew is a later language than the
biblical one and they lost and altered most of the holy language, that
we keep in purity in Ethiopia...

Greetings I Idrens and Istrens a blessed and fulljoy day unto InI.
I would like to share this with InI. As all may or may not be aware all
scriptures are translations of the Hebrew scriptures. Yes I, I blessed
with the ability to read Hebrew. If InI look at the biblical Hebrew
alphabet I have put. There are no vowels, there is no letter C, there is
no letter F, there is no letter J and there is no letter X. With this
information in mind, how can InI get "Jesus", "Christ", "father" and
"church" if there is no letters to even say those words?
The word is for the Anointed King is "Yshwh". That can be spelt today
as Yeshauh/Yashwah or Yeshau/ Yashua. In modern English it's
"Joshua". Yshwh translates as "Redeemer". And there is more than
one Redeemer. At least 7 individuals within the scriptures have been
called Yshwh/Redeemer, because a Redeemer is described as a
crowned King who is either anointed by a high priest or elected by Jah
himself. H.I.M. is InI Yshwh. 3 more Yshwh's are king Saul, king
Solomon and king David. I hope this information clears up so much
confusion amongst InI. And proof that there is no such thing as a
fictional character called "Jesus Christ".
Jah blessings and peace unto InI ��❤️

Ausar begins in Kush, an ancient kingdom to
the south of Kemet in what is presently called
Sudan. Ausar was an early leader of Kush, and
genius who developed the written word called
medu neter, or the language of the ntrtu, these
words was giving to him from Tehuti the ntr
who speaks the word of writing. Ausar was a
brilliant agriculture, Ntr of peace in theology.
Armed with knowledge that had the power to
civilize mankind, Ausar left Kush to spread his
teachings along the Nile Valley and around the
world.
On his travels, he met a beautiful Nubian
woman named Auset whom he married shortly
thereafter. AST then served as his co-regent
not his subordinate, an important indicator of
the position of women in Kemet.

Asé-et (Auset) is the wife of Ausaru (the
deity-self). Her symbol is the throne which she
wears as a crown. The significance of the
throne is because she is the true ruler.
Why is she the true ruler of the throne?
Because she is the deification of "devotion."
She is the habits that become trance. There is
nothing more powerful than the things you
allow to become habits. To take control of your
habits is to take back your throne.
The path to controlling your habits is thru
programming your subconscious via
consistent meditation. However, most
European and Asian meditation systems don't
work for Africans because the key for
meditation (Asé-et) to be successful is to
marry Ausaru (the self as the Supreme Being
incarnate). It is only when you understand you
are Ausaru (the Creator living thru
Man/Woman) that meditation (Asé-et/Auset)
will be like a wife to you and give birth to the
hero within (Heru).

One of the symbols of the Hebrew (African/Edenic) faith; a chest that
was God's pledge of divine protection. This vessel contained the
Word and Law of God: "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony
which I shall give thee" (Exod. 25:16). The Word and Law of God
inscribed in the Ark of the Covenant, was brought to Jerusalem by
Moses and to Aksum by Menyelek I, Solomon's firstborn son and the
first Emperor of Ethiopia. The Ark of the Covenant resides in Axum,
Ethiopia, in the 'Chapel of the Tablet' where it was moved to within
Our Lady St. Mary of Zion temple (picture to your right) due to
climatic issues. Thus, the children of Israel, bearing the Word and
Law of God in their midst, became the focal point of the power of God,
which emanated from them throughout all of Africa (Eden) and the
world.

KEBRA NEGAST 10.
Concerning the Glory of ZION
And as concerning ZION, the Tabernacle of the Law of God: at the very
beginning, as soon as God had stablished the heavens, He ordained
that it should become the habitation of His glory upon the earth. And
willing this He brought it down to the earth, and permitted MOSES to
make a likeness of it. And He said unto him, "Make an ark (or,
tabernacle) of wood that cannot be eaten by worms, and overlay it
with pure gold. And thou shalt place therein the Word of the Law,
which is the Covenant that I have written with Mine own fingers, that
they may keep My law, the Two Tables of the Covenant."1 Now the
heavenly and spiritual [original] within it is of divers colours, and the
work thereof is marvellous, and it resembleth jasper, and the
sparkling stone, and the topaz, and the hyacinthine stone (?), and the
crystal, and the light, and it catcheth the eye by force, and it
astonisheth the mind and stupefieth it with wonder; it was made by
the mind of God and not by the hand of the artificer, man, but He
Himself created it for the habitation of His glory. And it is a spiritual
thing and is full of compassion; it is a heavenly thing and is full of
light; it is a thing of freedom and a habitation of the Godhead, Whose
habitation is in heaven, and Whose place of movement is on the earth,
and it dwelleth with men and with the angels, a city of salvation for
men, and for the Holy Spirit a habitation. And within it are a GOMOR
of gold [containing] a measure of the manna which came down from
heaven; and the rod of AARON which sprouted after it had become
withered though no one watered it with water, and one p. 14 had
broken it in two places, and it became three rods being [originally
only] one rod. And MOSES covered [the Ark] with pure gold, and he
made for it poles wherewith to carry it and rings [in which to place
them], and they carried it before the people until they brought it into
the land of [their] inheritance, which is JERUSALEM, the City of ZION.
And when they were crossing the JORDAN and the priests were
carrying it, the waters stood upright like a wall until all the people had
passed over, and after all the people had passed over the priests
passed over bearing the Ark, and they set it down in the city of JUDAH,
the land of [their] inheritance. And prophets were appointed over the
children of ISRAEL in the Tabernacle of Testimony, and the priests
wore the ephod, so that they might minister to the Tabernacle of
Testimony, and the high priests offered up offerings, so that they
might obtain remission of their own sins and of the sins of the people
likewise. And God commanded MOSES and AARON to make holy
vessels for the Tabernacle of Testimony for the furnishing of the Holy
of Holies, namely, vessels of gold, bowls and pots, pitchers and sacred
tables, netted cloths and tops for pillars, lamps and vessels for filling
them, torch-holders and snuffers, tongs, candlesticks, and rings and
rods for carrying them, large bowls and lavers, embroidered curtains
and hangings, crowns and worked vestments, purple cloths and
leather work, carpets and draperies, unguents for anointing priests
and kings, hyacinthine and purple hangings, rugs of double thickness
and hangings of silk (?), skins of kids and red hides of rams, and
sardius stones, and rubies, and sapphires, and emeralds [and to place
them] in the Tabernacle of Witness, where dwelleth ZION, the
habitation of His glory. [And God told them] to make for it the "belly of
a ship" with the Two Tables, which were written by the fingers of
God—ZION shall rest upon them—And thou shalt make for it a
tabernacle of wood that the worms p. 15 cannot eat, whereon ZION
shall rest, two cubits and half a cubit shall be the length thereof, and a
cubit and half a cubit the breadth thereof, and thou shalt cover it with
pure gold, both the outside thereof and the inside thereof. And thou
shalt make the fittings and the cover thereof of fine gold, and there
shall be rings round about it; and thou shalt make in the four sides
four holes for the carrying-poles. And thou shalt make it of wood that
the worms cannot eat, and thou shalt cover it with pure gold, and in
this ye shall carry the Tabernacle of the Law. In this wise did God
command MOSES on Mount SINAI, and He showed him the work
thereof, and the construction and the pattern of the Tent, according to
which he was to make it. And it (i.e., ZION) was revered and had
exceedingly great majesty in ISRAEL, and it was acknowledged by God
to be the habitation of His glory. And He Himself came down on the
mountain of His holiness, and He held converse with His chosen ones,
and He opened to them [a way of] salvation, and He delivered them
from the hand of their enemies. And he spake with them from the
pillar of cloud, and commanded them to keep His Law and His
commandments, and to walk in the precepts of God.

Prophecies of the last days, end times, and judgement day are often
mistakenly interpreted as doom for the world; this is not so. The end
times scriptures predict the fall of Babylon. In order to comprehend
the biblical mandate in it's full context, then one must understand the
threefold applications of Babylon as used in The Holy Bible. The first
usage of the term Babylon is during the era of Mesopotamia and the
rise of Chaldea, where humanity began to repopulate the Earth after
the great deluge. According to the account, the decendants of Shem,
Ham and Japhet agreed to build a tower which would bring them
renown, and would continue their names - should another
devastating flood happens. Instead of relying on the Creator, Babylon
encourages one to seek renown, rely on self. We all know too well
what was the outcome of the tower. Nonetheless, what is of extreme
importance is that after the confusion of the languages which caused
the erection project at Babylon to halt, one contingent of people kept
the original tongue.
The second connotation of Babylon refers to the first world super
power which was founded by king Nebuchadnezzar between the 6th
and 5th century BC. The kingdom lasted for 70years after which it was
succeeded by the Persian empire. What this Babylon was particularly
known for other than the vast expanse of territories which they
conquered, is for destroying the temple of God, namely The Temple of
Solomon, taking away the sacred vessels, demolishing the kingdom of
Judah, and for the first time in history - forcefully captured people
from their Ancestral homelands and carted them off to slavery.
The third Babylon is far more complex and does not represent a
geographic location but a geopolitical commercial system. This
Babylon encompasses the character of the two previous, and is far
more obstinate in it's fight against the Creator. It is the profiles which
we are given repeatedly throughout the scriptures, that will assist us
in identifying present day Babylon which is headed for doom. Here
are two texts worth analysing briefly:
Revelation chapter 17 verse 5: And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Just looking at the text one doesn't acquire a lot, but considering
MYSTERY.- The head of the US is selected by an unknown and very
mysterious Electoral College; BABYLON THE GREAT - The present
administration campaigned under the slogan 'Make America Great
Again' in its previous election bid. Now as incumbent the reelection
slogan is 'Keep America Great'; THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH - Any kind of ungodly act is
permissible pedophilia, sodomy, homosexual, and whoredom. If it not
allowed in your country, you can appeal to the US where you will be
welcomed to perform wanton acts of abomination freely.
also, even more telling is:
Revelation chapter 18 verses 12 and 13, Whereby the diversity of the
market in Babylon is illustrated:
12 The merchandise in gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of
pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk and scarlet, and all thyine
wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most
precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and
wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat and beasts, and sheep, and
horses, and chariots, and slaves and souls of men.
No doubt the most versatile economy and the market which contains
all the merchandize mentioned above is the US. Further evidence lies
in the last two items available. SLAVES AND THE SOULS OF MEN.
People possessing unusual talents are all encouraged to market their
talent in the US. Whether their talent be in acting, sports, science,
singing, engineering, etc; they are apt to pursue careers in the US
where they fetch the most rewarding prices. Plus, with a chance for a
star on the Hollywood walk of Fame. The US is the most reputable
market for selling ones soul. The US is the biggest SLAVE market in
the world. And the only system that fits the profiles described in the
book of Revelation.
Come out of her my people!

It is Ethiopian culture to show the utmost respect to kings, elders,
priests and anyone whom we respect whether individually or socially.
It is customary to bow when introduced to someone who is obviously
older or has a more senior position. Children will often be seen doing
so. Bowing is a form of courtesy and manners in many cultures
including Ethiopia. People bow in greeting to each other all the time.
The bowing of worship which is owed only to God is not the same in
any way to bowing to show respect. It was not and is not a
requirement to bow to humans. No one was ordered to do so. It was
learned to bow to elders and to people greeting you. It was a sign of
respect, and showed good upbringing and manners. Foreign cultural
Marxism imported from other societies has corrupted some to parrot
their ways and abandoned culture to appear "modern". In Ethiopia
people would kiss their parents and family elders feet in greeting. It
showed love and gratitude. This type of bowing has nothing to do
with the kind of bowing you render to God. Worshipful bowing, I say
again, is to God alone. But respectful bowing is something else. There
is nothing wrong with bowing to someone who shakes your hand, or
to a family elder, or to your country's flag, and certainly nothing
wrong with bowing to the person who occupies the throne of the
country that one's forefathers fought and died for.
An example, as seen below in some pictures, you'll see the Emperor
ring being kissed by the Patriarch, but this in fact would be after the
Emperor kissed the Patriarch's cross. Emperor Haile Selassie I
himself, an Orthodox Tewahedo Christian, as well as a Christian
monarch and the head of the church had a deep reverence for clergy
as many Ethiopians do. If he spotted even the simplest country priest
he would stop, remove his hat, and kiss the priests cross. If he was
seated he always rose to kiss a cross or a bible.
Bowing is and was a simple sign of respect in Ethiopian society.
(To the right are some examples of how respect is shown in Ethiopia.)

September 11, 2017 of the Gregorian calendar will be September 1,
2010 as of the Ethiopian Calendar.
Enkutatash is the name for the Ethiopian New Year, and means “gift
of jewels” in the Amharic language. The story goes back almost 3,000
years to the Queen of Sheba of ancient Ethiopia who was returning
from a trip to visit King Solomon of Israel in Jerusalem, as mentioned
in the Bible in I Kings 10 and II Chronicles 9. She had gifted Solomon
with 120 talents of gold (4.5 tons) as well as a large amount of unique
spices and jewels. When the Queen returned to Ethiopia her chiefs
welcomed her with enku or jewels to replenish her treasury.
The celebration is both religious and secular. Typically this is the end
of the long rainy season and the countryside is covered with yellow
daisies . The day begins with church services followed by the family
meal. Young children will receive small gifts of money or bread after
the girls gather flowers and sing and boys paint pictures of saints.
Families visit friends and adults drink home made Ethiopian beer.
The Ethiopian calendar is a unique form of the Coptic or Alexandrian
calendar, derived from the earlier Egyptian calendar which influenced
the Julian calendar.
Why is the calendar 7-8 years different from the West’s Gregorian
calendar?
In the West, the calendar was calculated around A.D. 525 by Dionysius
Exegius a Roman monk-mathematician-astronomer who based his
calculations for the birth of Christ on an erroneous date for the death
of Herod the Great. But The Ethiopian church fathers calculated their
calendar based on the biblical event from genesis up-to the birth of
Christ.
© Dess Abebaw (taken around Melka Kuntre Archaeological site,
ETHIOPIA). The yellow daisies signals the end of the rainy season and
the coming of the new year.

Chanting is a rhythmical repetition (either silently or aloud) of a song,
prayer, word or sound. It is one of the most ancient spiritual practices
and a part of most religions and spiritual paths.
According to most traditions, sound is healing and sacred. It is also
believed that sound is one of the most powerful forces. Chanting
during praises deepens the concentration and devotion, calms the
mind and improves the awareness. Music is what is utilized to elevate
a ritual.

The Coat of Arms of Emperor Menelik II
Menelik II’s coat-of-arms which, in the words of Ian Campbell,
“reflected the totality of Ethiopia’s Imperial culture and which was no
doubt expected, like the Conquering Lion of Judah itself, to prevail.”
Haile Maryam Serabion, a senior adviser of Emperor Menelik II who
took responsibility for the design and production of this fully-
developed Ethiopian royal insignia, provides a poetic interpretation
of the pictorial symbols in a “Meweddes-Qene” that I have translated
as follows:
"A shining golden helmet and a crown is made for you, Ethiopia the
free
And behold the throne of your majesty is surrounded by the powers,
the four carriers of the image [of God]
And the star of your story rises from Jacob the Gift
And the radiance of the star of Menelik’s is sanctioned by the seal of
Solomon from the beginning
And as to the celebrated Law of the Tabot in which is covenant
The angels overlay it on all sides with the splendor of gold
And the rainbow of the covenant is set around the cloud of the
kingdom
So that the subjects of Menelik, the father of mercy, may not sink into
the flood of the lion."

In Ethiopia, the ceremony of inaugurating a new ruler was purely
religious and liturgical. It opens with the reading of Psalm 122. The
Patriarch then, in the presence of leading ecclesiastics, places the
crown upon the monarch, seated on a throne, and says: "May God
grant that this crown be a halo of holiness and glory. May you by your
prayers, preserve your faith unshaken and unconquerable! May you
be pure in heart even as this gold is pure." To this blessing the
emperor replies, "Amen." The Abuna presents the monarch as "(So
and so) descended from the Dynasty of Menelik I, the first born son of
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, a dynasty which has been
perpetuated without interruption until our day." With his hand on the
Bible, the ruler takes an oath, "to maintain the Orthodox religion, the
laws of the Empire, the integrity of the territories of the country, and
to support the founding of religious (and secular) schools and
institutions."
The Emperor would then be given a sword known as the "Sword of
Solomon," with the exhortation: By this sword execute true justice,
protect the church, the widows, and the orphans, restore that which
needs to be restored, chastise the wicked, render honor to the
righteous; and with it serve our Savior Jesus Christ." After the
chanting of Psalm 110, the emperor is thus given the royal scepter
and orb. Following a ring is then placed on the emperor's right hand,
saying, "Accept this as a symbol of your Imperial glory." The actual
anointing of the sovereign with holy chrism takes place after the chief
priest of the convent of Debre Libanos says a long prayer. The
ceremony is concluded by the Abuna with the blessing "May it be the
will of God that this be a crown of sanctity and glory." May you by our
prayers, preserve your faith unshakable and your heart pure, and
inherit the crown of eternal life. Amen.
During the ceremony the two persons closest to the emperor- the
empress and the crown prince- are presented and blessed. Following
the crowning of the emperor, the empress is given a ring by a bishop,
who says: “Let your faith shine even as these jewels.” Then the
emperor, taking her crown from the Archbishop, says: “As I have been
made to receive from your hands the Crown of the Empire which our
God has given unto me, so it is my firm desire that my empress shall
in my glory receive from me this crown which I ask your holiness to
[place upon her.” The Archbishop then places the crown upon the
empress. At the end of the ceremony, the crown prince, if present,
profess his allegiance to his father. The emperor presents his right
hand, saying: “May the Most High make you a worthy successor to my
force, my power, my throne, and my crown.” The crown prince replies,
“Amen,” and kisses the right hand of his father.

Malchijah's note: As a Haile Selassie I-ite, I higherstand "Coronation" as
the physical ceremonial event of crowning and ascending the throne as
a 'Royal' position of 'Queen' to 'Empress' or 'King' to 'Emperor'; while
"Transfiguration" is a spiritual transcendence where "man" ascends to
be the vice-regent of the Almighty Creator representing God amongst
humankind! On November 2, 1930 Negus Ras Tafari was coronated and
ascended the throne as His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I
and transfigurated to Might of the Trinity, the vice-regent of the Creator,
God amongst humankind, fulfilling the prophecy of Revelation 5v5.

RasTafari Haile Selassie I ~ 16 November 2020
The term “dreadlocks” comes from a movement of guerrilla warriors
who vowed not to cut their hair until Haile Selassie, former Emperor
of Ethiopia was released from exile after leading the resistance
against the Italian invasion. The warriors hair became matted and
began to lock over time. Because the warriors with locks in their
head were “dreaded” the term “dreadlocks” came to fruition.

FASTING
Fasting = Tribute of the Body
Purpose of fasting: to weaken the force of concupiscence and to make
the latter submit to the rational soul.
One who fasts is enabled to realize the suffering of hunger and may
have pity for the hungry and those who ask alms.
When one fasts he worships the Lord with the animal half of his
nature, whereas with prayer he worships the Lord with his spiritual
half of his nature.

Ethiopian Tradition, especially in certain ge'ez books like Sene Fetret and
Aximaros, explain us that in the beginning, Egziabhier created before any
other thing the 4 elements, by which He would constitute the substance of all
His creatures. The are likened to the 4 directions and the first four letters of
Ge'ez Alphabet, composing the word "A-BU-GI-DA". The A-B-C-D we could
say, the basic compass of Creation.
Hold on the Torch of Wisdom, His Majesty speaks about. The first creational
element, for God as for man, is Fire, what we call in Holy Language (E)ssat
እሳት. To create and produce anything, we firstly need a Fire to warm and
protect, to cook food as to alternate, mould and manipulate matter. Similarly,
the fire of the Sun is the primary energetic source of our life, and that's why it
was worshiped in ancient paganism. In Nyabinghi ritual, we call the central
holy fire "fyah-key", to express that same mystery.
The primacy of fire is manifested by the first letter of its word, that is an Alief
እ (E), the first letter of Abughida Alphabeth, whose meaning is 1, and
representing the I of God, and the same human image that was shaped in His
Likeness. Jah revealed Himself in flames of fire into the eyes of Moses
(Exodus 3) and within the fire we can sight the image of God and man. The
fire represents the predominant power of the Coscience of God that thought
and created all things. That's why humans are called B(e)(e)si/B(e)(e)sit
ብእሲ/ብእሲት Man/Woman from the same root of (E)ssat እሳት, for among the
earthly creatures, humans are the only one to have a conscious spirit made of
fire, in the image of God.
The second letter of the word is Son ሳ "Sa", depicted like a candle, meaning
physical sound of exalation of fire, its gas-like untangible nature, the burning
incense of the temple to glorify God.
The third and last letter of the word is Taw ት "T", depicted like a cross,
meaning the burned wooden substance and its passivity, and spelling the
natural crackle of fire.
The ge'ez number for 1 ፩ is basically a flame of fire, geometrically conceived
as the idea of center.
The abode of God, the seventh heaven, the so-called Aryam, is made of Fire.
Together with "Wind", it is the main element of the heavenly things,
including angels and human spirits. That's why both Fire and Wind naturally
go upward.
Fire is untangible like wind, but differently from wind, it is also visible. So,
being untangible but visible, it also reveals its unique power of mediation
between the worlds as between the elements. Similarly, although its root is a
black substance, it can generates light.
Fire is generally associated to color black/red, that is also the first color, the
beginning of the natural spectrum of light.
As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end, so everything comes to
being from fire, and everything shall be destroyed in the end by a judgement
of fire.

"The flag with the red, yellow, and green with Our seal "the Lion of
Judah hath prevailed"(Revelation 5:5) is the symbol of Ethiopia's
independence, its a symbol of freedom."
"The value of a flag springs from the sacrifices made to defend it, as
the symbol of Our independence. Otherwise there is no difference
between a flag and any other piece of cloth.
Our flag is a source of eternal inspiration, loyalty, and a symbol of the
sacred duty and obligation as a soldier - to him it is a moral sentinel."

MELCHISEDEK ~ The High Priest
Melchisedek, King of Salem, Priest of the most High God, met
Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and Blessed him;
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by
interpretation King of Righteousness, and after that also King of
Salem, which is, King of Peace; without Father, without Mother,
without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor End of Life;
made like unto the Son of God abideth a Priest continually.

METSEHAF QIDUS (HOLY SCRIPTURES)
The Holy Scriptures are one of the two great foundations of the faith
and here is what our church holds and teaches concerning it. The
word of God is not contained in the Bible alone, it is to be found in
tradition as well. The Sacred Scriptures are the written word of God
who is the author of the Old and New Testaments containing nothing
but perfect truth in faith and morals. But God’s word is not contained
only in them, there is an unwritten word of God also, which we call
apostolic tradition. We receive the one and other with equal
veneration.
The canon of the Ethiopic Bible differs both in the Old and New
Testament from that of any other churches.
As a whole, books written in the Ge'ez language and on parchment are
numerous. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has 46 books of the Old
Testament and 35 books of the New Testament that will bring the
total of canonized books of the Bible to 81.
These are the following

The Ethiopic version of the Old and New Testament was made from
the Septuagint. It includes the book of Enoch, Baruch, and the third
and fourth Esdras. In the international Bible studies there are certain
books belonging to the class usually designated pseudepigraphic. The
whole Christendom and whole-learned world owes a debt of gratitude
to the church of Ethiopia for the preservation of those documents.
Among these books is the book of Enoch which throws so much light
on Jewish thought on various points during the centuries
immediately preceding the Christian era. The book of Jubilee (Kufale,
i.e. Division) otherwise known as the Little genesis has also been
preserved entire only in the Ethiopic version. The preservation of yet
one more book in its entity, namely, the Ascension of Isaiah, is to be
remembered to the credit of the Ethiopic Church.
In His Imperial Majesty's speech concerning Ethiopia and the Holy
Scriptures, he states:
"WE IN ETHIOPIA HAVE ONE OF THE OLDEST VERSIONS OF THE
BIBLE, but however old the version may be, in whatever language it
might be written, the Word remains one and the same. It transcends
all boundaries of empires and all conceptions of race. It is eternal.
No doubt you all remember reading in the Acts of the Apostles of how
Philip baptised the Ethiopian official. He is the first Ethiopian on
record to have followed Christ, and from that day onwards the Word
of God has continued to grow in the hearts of Ethiopians. And I might
say for myself that from early childhood I was taught to appreciate
the Bible and my love for it increases with the passage of time. All
through my troubles I have found it a cause of infinite comfort.
"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest" who can resist an invitation so full of compassion?
Because of this personal experience in the goodness of the Bible, I
was resolved that all my countrymen should also share its great
blessing and that by reading the Bible they should find truth for
themselves. Therefore, I caused a new translation to be made from
our ancient language into the language which the old and the young
understood and spoke.
Today man sees all his hopes and aspirations crumbling before him.
He is perplexed and knows not whither he is drifting. But he must
realise that the Bible is his refuge, and the rallying point for all
humanity. In it man will find the solution of his present difficulties
and guidance for his future action, and unless he accepts with clear
conscience the Bible and its great Message, he cannot hope for
salvation. For my part I glory in the Bible." - Girmawi Qedamawi Haile
Selassie

This shape, denoting the unity of three, is used extensively in the
architecture of churches and cathedrals. The sign itself, however, is

HOLY ICONS IN THE ETHIOPIAN TRADITION
'Icons' a brief review:
As indicated the Icon is for the benefit of worship as is common in the
Orthodox Church and as such are not simple decoration. Like in most
homes which display photos of important family members that have
paved the way for the family. These family members are precious to
us and are always in our thoughts and thus edify the center most area
of our our lives which is our living spaces with their image for
ourselves and to share with all others who enter in. Likewise in the
Orthodox Church we keep in mind the faith of those who truly loved
the Lord. The sight of those who paved the way of the true faith is
precious to us even in death and is revealing of Gods love.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his
Saints .....
More importantly the Orthodox Church in the first centuries wrote
with iconography to express to various peoples and cultures the
universal message of salvation. This was the first method of mass
media used to preach the Gospel message in all languages but one
word.
The Orthodox Church still continues with this means to keep the
believer and non-believer seeing and hearing the Word and by such
receiving a blessing.
Matt. 13:16 Blessed are your eyes because they see and your ears for
hearing.....
Again; the Church writes Icons which often times 'depict' those who
have kept the true faith of God in His Church which holds the true
virtue for man in this world.
Icons also 'render' men and situations which are the subject of
various biblical narratives which connected human beings with God
cooperatively in an eternal grace are also in the church. These actions
of cooperation; indeed perfection between men and God formed our
holy scripture and faith is thus for all believers worthy of
remembrance and veneration (NOT worship) since we are to be just
as cooperative with God and thus perfect in all our manners to reach
that aim as the scripture instructs. We receive as believers a blessing
from those who indeed were perfect in action and deed whose
prayers were just as perfect, full and contrite. Even thought they or no
longer in this world they are the Saints of God and we are happy to
keep the beauty of their lives not only on the church walls but more
importantly in our hearts.
Pslam 145:10-12 and your saints shall bless you. They shall speak of
the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power to make known to
men His mighty acts
Holy Icons were the first media used for teaching a world that was
largely illiterate at the dawn of the Church on earth. Icons are still
used to channel the eye to holiness and worship of God in the
Orthodox Church today.
Icons are 'written' and not 'painted' and are to 'read' and not to
simply be looked upon. It is an error to consider an Icon a picture.
The Icon of Christ is "written" to express to the "reader" that He alone
is the head of the Church.
Ephesians 4:15 even as Christ is head of the Church......
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.....
Acts 8:37 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.......(Ethiopian
eunuch)
Matt. 16:16 You are Christ the Son of the living God..........
(Saint Peter - The Apostle)
There are many Icons written of Christ our Lord to explain to us the
greatness of His word. But He alone is the true ineffable icon of God
....Amen.

The Imperial Crest of the House of Solomon
“The Imperial Crest depicts an empty throne, waiting in expectation
for the return of Christ and the rule of right and justice.” – H.I.H Prince
Ermias Sahle Selassie Haile Selassie
The Imperial Crest is the Official Coat of Arms and Seal of the
Ethiopian Monarchy. The arms display the Throne of Solomon,
supported by two angels. The angel to the right of the throne bears
the Sword of State, and Scales of Justice, symbolizing the role of the
Emperor as Supreme Soldier and Supreme Judge. The Angel to the left
of the throne bears the Imperial Scepter, symbolizing the sovereignty
of the monarch. The Lion of Judah stands before the throne, and the
arms are draped under an Imperial Red canopy, surmounted by the
Anbessa Ze Imnegede Yehudah”, translating to Anbessa Ze Imnegede
Yehudah”, translating to “Conquering Lion of “Conquering Lion of the
Tribe of Judah”. At the base of the arms on the Tribe of Judah”. At the
base of the arms on the Crest would usually the Crest would usually be
a banner reading, “Ityopia Tabetseh Habe Igziabeher”, which is a
quote from the Psalms of David (Amharic; Mezmure Dawit) in the
ancient Ge’ez language of Ethiopia, and translates to “Ethiopia
Stretches Her Hands unto God” (Psalms 68:31), which served as the
official Motto in the Imperial Era.

Who is Jah?
Iah(translated as Jah,Yah,Jah(w),Joh,Aah)is a lunar deity in ancient
Kemet.His name simply means"Moon".By the New Kingdom he was less
prominent than other gods with lunar connection,Thoth and Khonsu.As a
result of a functional connection between them he could be identified with
either of those deities.
He was sometimes considered an adult form of Khonsu and was increasingly
absorbed by him.
Iah/Jah continued to appear in Amulets and occasional other
representations, similar as Khonsu in appearance,with the same lunar
symbols on his head and occasionally the same tight garments.He differed in
usually wearing a full wig instead a childs sidelock,and sometimes the Atef
topped by another symbol.As time went on,Iah also became deity
Iah-Djehuti, meaning"God of the new Moon".
Ian or Jah is assimilated with Ausar(Osiris), perhaps because,in it's monthly
cycles appears to renew itself.Iah or Jah also seems to have assumed the
lunar aspect of Thoth(also known as Djehuti),god of knowledge, writing and
calculation;the segments of the moon were used as fractional symbols in
writing.
Dua Dua to our ancestors.

... this is why I&I don't mind if people say Locs or dread-locks we know why
dreadlocks are seen as Dreadful and people especially Africans can be proud
of why their locks are seen as dreadful dread-locks because the Warriors that
traditionally wore them in Africa like the mau mau Warriors of Kenya but
more specifically the gorilla Warriors of Ethiopia who were being attacked by
the colonists that were trying to overcome Ethiopia and many of the
Warriors decided to grow their hair out and vowed not to cut it until Haile
Selassie I returned from his exile this created matted hair that formed into
dreadlocks and it was seen as Dreadful to their enemies because of their
Dreadful locks appearance.
I can see why some people would take dreads as a negative term because
they don't want to be seen as Dreadful or scary because that is what the
appearance of locks did to their enemies it made them fearful and Dreadful of
them in the Bible it mentions that Samson had Seven Locks I believe that
those are the same locks were talking about that's why I don't mind either
term.

(Lower Photo: A gold bracelet with precious jewels from Meroé in
Kush circa 700 bce. It depicts Mwut with multiple pairs of wings,
while wearing the double crown of the union of the Upper and Lower
Self.)
MÛTÛMÎA/MWÛT/MWUT/MUT/MA-THER/MO-THER/MA-MI
Mwut is the oldest recorded female deity known to humanity. She was
first worshipped by the Kushites at least 36,000 years ago before her
worship spread into Kemet. Het-Heru is a version of Mwut. She
corresponds to Oshun in West Africa.
Mwut was married to Amen and bore him the son Khonsu. This is the
oldeset trinity known to mankind. The greatest title in Kemet for a
woman was to be an incarnation of Mwut, and referred to as the Sole
Wife of Amen (who is Mwut).
Mwut's very name is the etymological origin of the word "mother."
She was the prototype for various later female deities in
Mesopotamia such as Ishtar and ultimately for Mary in Christianity.

Throughout Africa, complex martial art techniques and other sophisticated fighting methods
were practiced for many millenniums.
The oldest documentation of African combat arts comes from Kemet's Middle Kingdom era.
Laamb is an African martial art system which is practiced in west Africa in Senegal, coming from
the Serer people who brought it to west Africa from the ancient Nile valley. It was originally
practiced as a test of bravery, rite of passage and war preparation.

Order and Law of Marriage
" The sacrament of Matrimony is important for the Life of mankind. It
is holy and ordained by JAH . Through it the husband and wife are
united and given divine grace that sanctifies their union and makes it
perfect and spiritual unity. This order is significant not only for the
life of the couple but further demands the moral support and
protection of all nations and their states. Moreover the Kingdom of
JAH is involved in this great mystery. Marriage is important for at
least three reasons: "
For the propagation of humanity as it was commanded: “ Be fruitful
and multiply.”
To keep man and woman from the temptation of carnal lust.
For the good relationship and mutual help between husband and wife.
..".Wives be subject to your husbands as to the Lord for the husband is
the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church" and also "....
You husbands love your wives even as Christ loves the Church and
gave Himself up for Her..." even so husbands should love their wives
as their body. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever
hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the
Church."
"...However, let each of you love his own wife as himself, and let the
wife see that she respects her husband. (Eph. 5:21-end)

MEDUSA:Goddess Phomolo
When You hear Medusa what comes to your mind as a representation
of their indoctrination into our culture?
Medusa’s “hair of snakes” were really dreadlocks.
Dread by Caucus Definition - anticipate with great apprehension, to
fear or to dread, regard with great awe or reverence.
She was the Afrikan serpent-goddess representing Female Wisdom
and was called “the mother of all gods, whom she bore before
childbirth existed.”
In typical treatment of maligning Alkebulan tradition, European
“classic myth” made Medusa into a monster; the terrible Gorgon
whose look turned men to stone. The Gorgons were a trinity whose
names were Medusa, Stheino, and Euryale or Wisdom, Strength, and
Universality.
European plagiarist writers pretended they were monsters, but these
are not the names of monsters. Medusa was the Destroyer aspect of
the Triple Goddess called Neith in Egypt and Athena in Greece.
Medusa’s name is derived from Egyptian Maat (Truth), which also
gives us the words medicine, mathematics, and Sanskrit medha
(female wisdom).
The Greeks and Romans were both very good at exploring,
conquering, and adapting the local religions of conquered peoples to
suit their needs. It’s thought that when the Greeks came to Africa, they
encountered a people who had a goddess depicted with dreadlocks.
The original, real life Medusa, supposedly had dreads and the origin of
dreads through ancient discoveries existed before the fictional
Medusa character was recreated.
She was the snake Goddess which is how Europeans formed their
version of a monster with hair of snakes, with a face that would turn
any man to stone because of fear, which developed from the Gorgon
mask she carried with her.
Medusa has historically been seen as the archetype of the nasty
mother, however she is far more complex.
She symbolizes the following:
- Sovereign female wisdom.
- The female mysteries.
- All the forces of the primordial Great Goddess: The Cycles of
Time as past, present and future.
- The Cycles of Nature as life, death and rebirth.
- She is universal Creativity and Destruction in eternal
Transformation.
- She is the Guardian of the Thresholds and the Mediatrix between
the Realms of heaven, earth and the underworld.
- She is Mistress of the Beasts. Latent and Active energy.
- Connection to the earth.
- The union of heaven and earth.
- She destroys in order to recreate balance.
- She purifies.

Monarchy is the DNA and psyche of the real Ethiopia. The monarchy
is the foundation, fabric, and seal of Ethiopia. Ethiopia has never
existed without its monarchy until the 20th century. And it lost its
significance and failed as a country once it abandoned it. Ethiopia's
glorious 4,500 years of history is 4,500 years of monarchy. And the
last 45 years (since 1974) with no monarchy has been a history of

A “Monastic Person” is according to the practical definition “a man of
God, who lives without tasting refined and delicious food, without
wearing colorful and warm clothes, who waters his mouth with dew
of the grass, has stones as his pillow, is unscarred by the roaring
noises of wild animals and the majesty of the night and shuns worldly
life, reserves himself from needs of the flesh and from joy and
happiness, avoids joy in all his daily life and dependency on others,
relies on and helps himself, is fully engaged in fasting and praying and
preoccupied on acts of martyrdom and goodness.”

Did you that the Mummification of the bodies was practices in
Ethiopia at least 300 years before it was introduced to
Kemet(Egypt)?
The below quote comes from the book called,THE LIFE AND DEATH
OF THE MEDIAEVAL ETHIOPIAN PRIESTS:A BIOARCHAELOGICAL
AND ASTEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF HUMAN MUMMIES FROM
ABUNE MELKETSADIK AND YIMRAHANE CAVE MINISTRIES,
ETHIOPIA BY ABIYOT DEBEBE SEIFU:
"This dissertation uses of Bioarchaelogical and asteological
approach to study the life and death of mediaeval priests. It
investigates practice of mummification by analysing hundreds of
extremely well preserved mummies recovered from monasteries in
central and northern Ethiopia. However who specifically where this
mummified clergy members?What role did they play in Ethiopian
society before they died?Where all priest mummified? and if
not,why were only some selected?"
It further says,"Thousands of remarkably well preserved mummified
bodies of priests and other unidentified individuals were found in
the Debreguad Sillassie,Abune Melketsadik cave monastery in
central Ethiopia."
The process of the Mummification takes 70 days.Special priest work
as the embalmers, treating and wrapping the body.
Beyond knowing the correct rituals and prayers to be performed at
the various stages,the priest also needed a detailed knowledge of
the human anatomy.
All organs in the body are removed including the brain,but except
the heart, because it was believed by our ancestors that the heart is
the sit of the soul.
Dua Dua to our ancestors.
