1.  TRINITY 
 
In the balanced judgment of Scripture and History
there is found an essence of Truth and Mystery.
The dinosaurs failed the test of their Creator.
What will be His Judgment when it comes to Man?

Yes it could be so – many lifetimes ago –

I&I Ancestors trod out from Eden, southward.

The Rift Valley led us to the whole of Africa

till our lands were overtaken by desert sand,

our rivers were buried in gravel and sand.

It was a Time when Europe went under Ice.

The Sahara and Arabia had been our Savannahs.

Then the rains went away and the dry wind came.

We had to ride out to find water.  Alas, the Fall.

We had spread across Africa, East to West,

from the Beginning to the Time of the Drought.

Then the desert forced us to the western coast,

or north of the Mediterranean, or east and south.

JAH stopped send rain to the Land of Ancient Man

from Arabia to Syria, from Ethiopia to Mauritania.

Not even our bones can be found in the desert:

parched in the heat, sand-blasted to sand.

It was long before the Flood; we who departed

scattered over east seas and thru the north land.

Some of us journeyed to the ends of the Earth:

places where the sun don’t shine so bright,

far from the heart of Mama Africa,

even to the Arctic, the Land of the Night.

When we left Africa our skin was dark,

but fading with every northbound generation,

to better absorb the little fading sunlight,

and the winters were dark and cold.

The farther that people strayed from Garden Life,

the colder the hearts of the Hunters did grow.

Sunlight that warms the tropical gardens

also warms the Gardener's heart and soul.
 
Now even the Elect have been deceived by illusion.
That is why JAH has shortened the days,
lest we all fall down in the Pit.
 
Idren, I give thanks JAH RASTAFARI
because My Lord has carried I on wings
Home to the Original African Way of Living.
Home to the Paradise Garden Way of Living.
Africa is the Spirit and Covenant in I&I Heart
to which I&I have been Repatriated.
 
Blessed Love Bobo Ashanti:
Emmanuel High Priest Order of Right.
Peace and Love Twelve Tribes of Israel:
Faithful of Jacob Everlasting Inheritance.
Death to Black and White Downpressors!
This is Nyahbinghi Theocracy Governmant.
 
There is One Way: this is the way to ZION.  There
are Three Ways in One: Bobo Ashanti, Twelve
Tribes, Nyahbinghi.  Who is Christ?  We know him
by his words, for His Word is True.  He came once
as a Lamb and once as a Lion.  Let it be known
that the Lamb and the Lion are the Same Man.
 
Who are Boboshanti, Twelve Tribes, Nyahbinghi?
I&I are the Children (1) of the Merciful Father (2)
guided by the Holy One (3) homeward bound to
ZION.  If I&I did not know 12 Tribes, Nyahbinghi
and Bobo Ashanti, then I&I would never know
Israel Trinity.  Who is Jes'us?  He is Just Us.
 
When a man offends you do you quarrel with him,
or do you swallow that offence to keep the Peace?
Set your own heart straight, try to not retaliate.
If you have any choice it is better to move on.
And if a man has not already sold his salvation,
don't judge him for his faults, but the Good in him.
 
Some Dreadlocks don't know how to Reason
because we think we are always right.
Some can only repeat what our Leaders say,
never knowing our own Self as the Pearl of Christ.
Certain hypocrites try to corrupt all the concepts,
even fighting a man down if he does not agree.
A few foolish ones claim we are always right
because of the dark colour of the skin.
 
Do not make your principle
to rule by Pride instead of Reason.
If a One thinks he is always right,
he will sin and not know it.
 
Who can detect his own failings, JAH?
Wash out my hidden faults.
And from pride preserve Your Servant.
Never let it dominate me.[1]
 
Priest Emmanuel Word is to Keep Right Law.
Christ Imanuel Word is Faith Higher than Law.
These Man is One Man, setting a firm example:
Man of Faith and Righteousness is God in Flesh,
and therefore worthy to shepherd the Flocks
instead of bowing to the politicians.
 
Each Man of Right is Christ in Flesh
and controls the Law in his own Dominion.
Even so, while we sight up God in Man,
please make allowance for a Man's shortcomings.
A Man could have a problem or make a mistake.
I&I are humble to help and correct it.
 
When a man vex, his brain does short-circuit.
Who can stand firm with Love in the face of Hate?
The Work of the Spirit is to set everything straight.
Flexible bend to be straight.
 
In the last century I&I witnessed Three High Man:
Behold a Prophet (1), a King (2), and a Priest (3).
The Prophet, like John the Baptist, carried the
WordSound of the Holy One, the Vision of What
Shall Be.  The King shone exceedingly bright as
the Father: His Word was True, He was My Lord
Come Again.  The Priest was a Son of the Father
Almighty, Black Christ and Moses, shepherding
the Sufferas to come out of Egypt.
 
These Three Man sent I&I forth on rough seas
for Repatriation.
 
12 Tribes Mission is to Hail HIM King of Kings,
chanting His Salvation to the ends of the Earth.
Bobo uplifts the Priest Devotion,
putting his House in Order at Home.
Nyah has found the Way of Redemption,
trodding the distance on the Timeless Road.
 

This is my perception of the traditional story,

with its bias and its truth, like any allegory

that tries to explain lost virtue and glory:

 
In the Beginning JAH gave I&I Three Laws:[2]
Go forth and multiply. (1)
Govern the Animals and the Earth. (2)
Eat only of Herbs bearing seed. (3)
 
He showed us a tree and said: Don't eat from
this tree.  I thought it was a mysterious thing to
say because I could see no fruits on the tree –
only birds singing.  Hear what happened:
 
One day I was walking with My Lord in the golden
green Garden, eating fruits.  Over yonder the Tree
of Knowledge called: Come listen to the birds.
A serpent came crawling with a Bird from the Tree,
freshly killed, and it gave I a piece of flesh, saying:
Knowing only Good, you should try a taste of Evil.
Then you can choose between the 2, like the gods.
 
Defiled with the Blood of Innocent Life
shining on my lips,
I saw the serpent rise up looking like an angel,
except for two horns growing out of his head.
 
My Lord was witness to my temptation.
I saw he was naked, couldn't stop what I'd started.
I yearned for My Lord; it was an empty sensation,
for the Spirit had fled and Grace had departed.
 
Drunk with new knowledge of Innocent Blood,
Death and Destruction, Lust born of Desire,
I could not bear go thru Death without My Lord
so I kissed him with Blood still on my lips,
which he kissed, surely knowing
it was Blood of a Bird.
 
So the first-born son
was conceived in the blood of Sacrifice:
His heart was an envious one; we called him Cain.
The sons of Cain still kill their bredren merciless,
while Eve their Mother cries her tears in vain.
 
The deadliest sin is to eat something dead
because I&I cannot give the Breath of Life.
I&I sinned the one sin punishable by death:
To Partake of Life Blood, which is Murder.
 
Cain used to wander from his bed at midnight
when Satan would call him to torture his mind:
Adam loves thy brother Abel
much more than thee.
Even JAH shall prefer your brother's offering.[3]
 
Take note that Abel's praise offering was Flesh,
and JAH favoured it over Cain's offering of Ital.
This was because the Lord had cursed the Soil
and cursed Man to kill and eat Dead, for the while.
 
Have you ever been made to suffer
by a son or daughter of Cain?
Even unto the present hour
they have persecuted the Children of Seth.
They come from every nation and colour,
worshipping the spirit of death.
 
Death did arise in power when I&I ate dead.
I could not undo what was already done.

I suffered in sorrow with the spiritual sons of Satan,

who dominated me, tho I was Mother of Creation,

down thru all the generations                       (Gen 3:16)

until I found My Lord again.  Ithiopian Man.
 
He says: Suffer the little Children to come unto I.
They cannot leave his presence, no …
until he has given a smile to their faces,
an overstanding to their hearts. 
 
Children of all tribes are born with Adam's sin
and then the sins of their parents fall upon them.
The Saints do not dwell in the pit where we fell.
Christ paid the price so I&I may rise in Grace again.
 
Sister Ruth came out of the Nation of Moab.
From the lineage of the incestuous
fornication of Lot's daughters.
They were enemies of Israel, worshipping Chemosh –
this god was fashioned from iron and bronze.
 
Yet Ruth was chosen to link up with JAH People:
Ruth begat Obed and Obed begat Jesse.
Jesse begat David and David begat Solomon,
Solomon and Sheba begat Meneylek the First.
Faith is the Knowledge of things yet unseen.
 
JAH loves everyone who is worthy of His Names:
Names of Attributes and Names of Avatars.
By whatever Name ye call upon Him, it is well:
For to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.[4]
 
There are many who praise the God of Ibrihim:
Some say ALLAH, some call Him after His Own:
Jes'us Christ, Rama Krishna, Gautama Buddha.
YAHWEH speaks softly and the Heavens Thunder.
But most do not know the New Name of JAH. 
 
This Name is known only by the Faithful and True,
the Judge with Integrity, the Warrior for Justice.
His eyes are flames of Fire.
His head is crowned with the Godhead.
His clothes are soaked in Blood.             (Rev 19:11-21)
The Name written on Him is known only to Himself:
The Word of God – RAS TAFARI – King of Kings
 
I AM the Imperishable One, the Universe, the Fire.
I return from Age to Age to annihilate deceivers.[5]
Look to Africa for the Crowning of a Black King.
He shall be the Redeemer.           (Marcus Garvey, 1916)
 
This King is gentle and merciful.
He prays before every decision.
He builds schools and hospitals,
gives land to the landless,
clothes to the naked and food to the hungry.
The Sword of His Word conquers Nations.
 
Judge of Nations, He judges even the Dragon
(which gave its authority to the Beast),        (Rev 13:1-10)
and the Pope bows before His Imperial Majesty:
the Dragon bows to the Conquering Lion.
 
Born on the first night of Judah,
in the black face of the Dark Moon,
the Lamb has returned as the Lion of Judah:
Messiah, My Lord and King.                                (Rev 5)
 
A new cycle and a new age,
the Ending and the Beginning.
Haile Selassie I: Power of the Trinity:
How We Love Thee, Abba, Father.
 
Destroy iniquity from the face of the Earth, and
let every deed of wickedness disappear, and let
the Tree of Righteousness appear; and it shall
become a blessing, and deeds of righteousness
shall be planted forIver with joy.  And now all the
Righteous shall escape and they shall be alive
until they beget thousands; and all the days of
your youth and of your old age shall be completed
in peace.  Then all the Earth shall be tilled in
Righteousness, and it shall be planted with trees
and be filled with blessing....[6]
 
In this world each religion claims all the Right,
yet contradictions abound thru all the Scriptures.
Long time JAH has permitted confusion to go on:
It was not the right time to complete the picture.
 
Remember JAH told Adam to eat only of Herbs
and He required of Noah to abstain from blood.
Yet He gave a command to Moses
that only certain flesh is unclean.
Then He changed it all up again with Peter
when He told him to kill and eat everything.
 
The Holy One tells us just what we need to know
in every generation and each different nation.
Moses People would never have known Him at all
if He had said eating Dead is what led to the Fall.
 
So too the Pagans would not have chosen Christ
if He did tell them to leave out their favourite swine.
Overstand God's purpose is for All to Know Him;
after that He can pull up anyone who's out of line.
 
Apostle Paul believed that Vegetarians are weak,
and displaying little Faith by their choice of food.
Because if they are strong with their faith in God,
they will give thanks for Dead and eat it up good.
 
JAH said to the Hindus: Don't eat no cow.
He said to the Christians: Eat any beast you wish.
JAH said to Muhammad: You must eat halaal.
He said to Priest Emmanuel: Allow the people fish.
 
So when it comes to food the Spirit says to I again:
As it was in the Beginning so shall it be in the End.
I have given you every Herb Bearing Seed to eat.
Herbs you shall harvest and this will be your meat.
 
When I gave you full freedom to eat all flesh,
it was My Meditation to put each One to the test,
because any loving heart would break down and cry
to eat a Humble Animal who didn't want to die.
 
The Dominion over Animals I gave unto Man
is not to advantage, kill and devour.
I said all flesh is clean to weigh Love in the balance
and see whose Heart is Merciful unto the final hour.
 
Listen to the Rain approaching from over the hills,
blessing these Mountains of ZION.
Here the Idren gather to sing a New Hymn
to the Lamb with the face of a Lion.
Melchizedek music, even Daniel music:
I&I sing an ancient New Song.
Nyahbinghi is our weapon and shield: Chant on.
 
Israel is gathered out of every language and nation,
on the Hills of Grace, stretching across the Seas.
From sweet JAH Mek Ya to blessed La Trinity,
Ras Tafari is King of Kings in the West Indies.                                             Priest
