HAILE SELASSIE'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JAMAICA

By NZINGA NZINGA

HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST

When the Rastafarians in Jamaica heard that Emperor Haile Selassie was coming to Jamaica in April 1966, they flocked to the airport to see Him on that blessed day.  The media (scribes), the governmental and secular (Pharisees) and the ecclesiastical (Sadducees) authorities were blatantly disobeyed, disregarded and ignored by the Rastafarians armed with drums and other musical instruments, flags, placards and banners, some with mighty locks exposed, others with a variety of headgear.
  
“And when he was come nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen: Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven and glory in the highest.  And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.  And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” St. Luke 18: 37- 40.

The Jamaican authorities (Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees) who could not keep the multitude at bay must have felt the despair of the Pharisees et al of some 2000 years ago as they watched with dissatisfaction and chagrin the descendant of King David and King Solomon riding triumphantly into Jerusalem in the name of the Lord, and like them must have said among themselves, as they watched another descendant of King David, King Solomon and of the Queen of Sheba coming triumphantly into Jamaica in the name of the Lord:                                              

“Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.” St. John 12: 19              

If the powers that be, if the leaders but knew the significance of the moment and of things and times to come, if they were attuned to the nat’ral mystic blowing in the air, if they could but feel the positive Rastaman vibrations let loose in their midst, if like Natty Dread they were moving through the mystics of tomorrow, they, when they looked on the red, gold and green and on the emblem of the Lion of Judah, in front of their very eyes, would understand that:

The Lion of Judah has prevailed! Blessed is the King of Africa that cometh in the name of the Lord! 

“On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him, and cried Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.  The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye, how ye prevail nothing? Behold the world is gone after him.”      St. John 12:12-13, 19       

                              FACE TO FACE WITH JAH RASTAFARI.

                       

…One from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother…

Deuteronomy 17:15.

And it came to pass that Jah Rastafari arrived in the flesh in the Island of Jamaica on April 21, 1966 for a three-day visit. And again he walked among His disciples. Thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name. Jeremiah 14:9 
And they saw Him face to face and some shook hands with Him. And He spoke with certain among them. The world saw Him but knew not that He was the One. But this the world knew. The world knew that Rastafarians beheld Him in the flesh, looked upon Him with their own eyes, heard His voice with their own ears and handled Him with their own hands, thus bearing witness that their God is real. 

That which was from the beginning which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the Word of life.  1 John 1:1.
SELASSIE 1! Jah RASTAFARI
