In the Name of the Holy Trinity!
In the Name of the Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God!
In the Power of the Holy Crucifixion of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
Dear Mr. Ras Iadonis Tafari:
Ethiopian Greetings to you, and through you, to your wife Woizero T'h't'nna G'rma Asfaw, and to all your colleagues who are involved in the Sacred Service of the Holy Cause of Ethiopia's Sovereigns: Our Lord God, Priestly King, the True Ethiopian Jesus Christ, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and Our Holy Queen, Mother of God The Virgin Mary, Ethiopia, Who Stretches Out Her Hands to God!
Thank you for visiting our web site and for sending me an email of compliments and kind words. I read with interest the biographical details of yourself and your wife, along with the description of the work you are engaged in. I also revisited the various web sites you provided me with their respective addresses: They are all informative, educational and entertaining. I am happy to know that you read my book, Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, I presume, with its Divine Message being discussed, hopefully, in favorable and constructive way among the membership of your fraternal society.
For me to learn from your writing that Menfes Q'ddus [The Holy Spirit] had inspired you to send me a word of encouragement has a special significance and impact more on my vocation than anything else. This is because I always regard the presence and influence of such Divine Inspiration in whomsoever, as the authentic Sacred Sign and sole guiding principle that I maintain and follow, and on which my full credence in the conduct of my life of service is entirely based to this day.
As Believers and Servants of God, I think one of the utmost prerequisites that Our Lord God of the Holy Covenant expects of us is to remain Faithful to Him and to our Word of Honor given in His Name. Yes, unless we are inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit, we, bare humans, indeed, cannot even conceive of, let alone believe in and invoke the Name and Power of God The Holy Spirit.
The following outcome of the query that Our Lord presented to His Apostles revealed this Divine Truth: "When Jesus …asked His disciples, saying, …"Who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven." I trust that such utterance of yours, in line with the above quotation, would prove itself genuine and fruitful in the course of time. (Matt. 16/ 13-17)
I admire and commend the individual and the collective commitments you and your compatriots are making and the ventures that you are undertaking in the pursuit and promotion of the cause of the Ras Teferians (Rastas). I believed from the beginning that this Movement came into being to serve, not only the cause of the latter, but also, the present apostate Ethiopian generation in its desperate need for a new inspiration, an exemplary character and a beacon of hope.
Thus, I felt that the purpose of the inception and launching of the Movement was not meant to be confined to that of its eccentric goal alone. It goes further than that. It was concomitantly presaged to render even more serious premonitions directed to the Living Ethiopian Generation: The intransigent and unrepentant generation, universally known as the product of Atsie Haile Sellassie's rule and leadership, that continues to defy the Holy Covenant God made with its predecessors. While the latter, on their honorable part, adhered to and preserved it to the last, the same rebellious generation, on its dishonorable part, turned it into a sacrilege.
As such, the current Ethiopian generation and its contemporaneous Movement of the Rastas are both inadvertently destined to serve the Dual Purposes of God that He aimed at both the Branches of the Generation of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God of The Holy Covenant. God, in His Wisdom and Patience, is providing them with the chance of getting the hard lesson wherefrom they learn and know about, and at long last find the True Face and the True Nature of The Divine Truth. On the one hand, God had directed the first of His Purposes to the Compatriots, grouped and known as the Apostate Generation; and, on the other hand, He had directed the second of His Purposes to the Expatriates, grouped and known as the Ras Teferians.
According to this Divine Arrangement, the one Group serves the other as a Stumbling Stone, in order that both would reciprocate and complement each other's deficiencies and failures. Whereby, finally, both Groups, of their own free will and resolution, shall come to their Ethiopian Senses and acknowledge their current human shortcomings. This phenomenon would result in their Spiritual Transformation of Fullness and Unison, achieved through their respective Genuine Penitence and the Grace of The Divine Truth in The Holy Spirit. Such Culmination of the long-suffering and virtuous Pilgrimage, ultimately ushers them into the Heavenly Chamber of The Divine Thrones of Our Priestly King Father Jesus Christ and the Holy Queen Mother of God The Virgin Mary Who Reign also on Earth. And here, they receive the Eternal Embrace of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God.
This is the Day of Triumph, on which the Glorious Divine Kingdom of Ethiopia manifests Herself universally to all humanity on Earth. This is the Unique Day of Visitation on which all True Ethiopians of the Holy Covenant would come together hand-in-hand and Glorify God. This is the Joyful Occasion of the Attainment of the Appointed Time preconceived and set by God at the beginning of Creation. And all these Extraordinary Events will be fulfilled according to Scriptures that foretold this Divine Episode, and as was relayed to us through God's Servants of the Old and the New Testaments, referred to hereunder by one of the latter.
It was this same Divine Truth, as heretofore described, that impelled me, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, to commit myself with dedication to write the book entitled Ethiopia: The Classic Case. As you are already familiar with the contents of the same, the foregoing concern was the whole Theme and Message of the Divine Truth presented thereby.
Yes, the main emphasis of the Divine Message delivered therein was focused, both on the revelations of the apostasy of Atsie Haile-Sellassie's Generation, as well as of the misrepresentation of the Cause of the Movement of the Ras Teferians. There, the issues were treated as crucial cases of grave concern and, as such, were critically analyzed in greater details in order that both would be bound to be salvaged for their ultimate rectification and restitution to their honorable and legitimate Divine Status.
God, through His Message aforementioned, in which the Divine Enlightenment, Admonition and Exhortation were put forward, intended for both the misguided, iniquitous and distraught Ethiopian Generation and the Ras Teferian Movement, to be convinced and disposed to repent, and ultimately restored to their True Ethiopian Identity of the Holy Covenant upon which Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God is founded.
The following quotation from Scriptures still pleads with all the Membership of the Ethiopian Generation and the Ras Teferian Movement to hearken seriously to the constant calling of Our God of Ethiopia of the Holy Covenant. It also ordains both the former and the latter to see to it that each and all of them fully commit themselves to its fulfillment for the last time. Both the parties involved, indeed, ought to carry out such Divine Ordinance without any more consideration and procrastination. The human contemplation and delay served them nothing, but extended their unjustifiable mental, physical and spiritual miseries only, over and above the two millenniums of years that, humanity at large, and they themselves in particular, already expended in futility and brutality. So, let us all listen to the Word of God open-mindedly, intently and with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:
"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is Gracious. Coming to Him as to a Living Stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and Precious, you also, as Living Stones, are being built up a Spiritual House, a Holy Priesthood, to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
"Therefore, it is also contained in the Scripture, " Behold, I lay in Zion, A Chief Cornerstone, Elect, Precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame." Therefore, to you who believe [Members of the Ras Teferian Movement who accept The Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God], He is Precious; but to those who are disobedient [Members of the present Ethiopian Generation who deny The Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God], "The Stone which the builders rejected, has become the Chief Cornerstone," and "A Stone of Stumbling, and a Rock of Offense." They [the latter] stumble, being disobedient to the Word [the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God], to which they also were appointed.
"But you [the Repentant True Ethiopians from both the Generation and the Movement that believe in and accept the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God] are a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, His Own Special People, that you may proclaim the Praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His Marvelous Light; who once were not a people but are now The People of God, who had not obtained mercy, But Now Have Obtained Mercy.
"Beloved, I beg you as Sojourners and Pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the Soul, having your conduct Honourable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your Good Works which they observe, Glorify God in the Day of Visitation. Therefore, submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's Sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the Praise of Those Who Do Good.
"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men- as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as Bondservants of God. Honour all People. Love the Brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the King [The Incarnate God Jesus Christ, The Conquering Ethiopian Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and the Queen, Mother of God, The Virgin Mary, Ethiopia that Stretches out Her Hands to God]. (1Pet. 2/1-17; Ps.118/ 22; Matt. 21/42; Is. 8/12; 28/17)
It is always my strong conviction that, as long as we remain Faithful to His Holy Covenant, Our Benevolent Heavenly Father will continue to lead us all when we are committed in striving Faithfully for the attainment of the Divine Goal that He, with His Bountiful Goodness, had predestined for Our Everlasting Ideal Life. We can never doubt the successes of our individual and collective efforts in achieving our Sacred Aspirations for True Ethiopia and True Ethiopians in the Divine Kingdom of the Holy Covenant, of course, through the inspiration and guidance of The Holy Spirit who endowed each one of us with such privilege. It is ever more invigorating for all of us to realize the Divine Truth that this endowment has already been unequivocally assured and eternally consolidated by the Covenant of Mercy that was acquired by the Divine Motherhood of The Virgin Mary.
Let each one of us, therefore, open his/her heart with genuine faith and will to the Ethiopian Jesus Christ, the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and to His Ethiopian Mother The Virgin Mary Who always Stretches Out Her Hands to God. Let each one us offer and commit himself/herself to the complete possession by the Holy Mother and Her Divine Son, so that all the forthcoming Divine Activities that are determined to be conducted by The Holy Spirit through the agency and instrumentality of his/her person are fully facilitated.
For further enlightenment on this particular subject of great importance, I suggest that you revisit the "Faith" as well as the "Q & A" Forums of our web site, with special emphasis to the latter. Therein, we have a fresh input concerning an email from a Ras Teferian who raised relevant and controversial issues that directly relate to the same questions under discussion, to which we appropriately responded in details thereto.
I wish you all the best, and continue to pray for the wellbeing of all of us.
N'bure-Id Ermias Kebede Wolde-Yesus,
Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God.

Comment by Lion Of Judah on April 1, 2008 at 8:32pm -
the Divine Truth about Ethiopia, the Ethiopian and Ethiopianhood in general; and, on the other, in particular, the revelation of the Divine Reality as to how the long relentless bondage of identity crisis that rightly afflicts the Ras Teferians, or, for that matter, any human being on earth, including even the present Ethiopian generation, has already been shattered once and for all. I had presented the aforementioned Divine Truth and Reality by admitting myself unequivocally and making it quite clear that:
1) Atsie Haile-Sellassie was and remains as one of the Elects and Regents of the Incarnate God and "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah", Jesus Christ, and, of the Holy Mother of God and "Ethiopia that stretches out Her Hands to God", The Virgin Mary, himself anointed, enthroned and crowned as the legitimate Supreme Head Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God on Earth.
2) Jesus Christ, as an Ethiopian, born of the Ethiopian Mother, long before the advent of Atsie Haile-Sellassie, almost a couple of millenniums earlier, had accomplished His Divine Mission on earth and restored all those virtues that were originally God-given to humans, but, unfortunately rejected by the latter, finally granting the privilege of reclaiming the former (the virtues), not only to each and every Ras Tafarian, who yearns and toiled for them, but also to the individual human being, including the Ethiopian.
3) God had established and granted, nurtured and eternalized Ethiopianness by means of the Seven Holy Covenants not only for Ethiopians, but also for Ras Tafarians and for all humanity.
