"Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors.  We must stop confusing religion and spirituality.  Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans, which were supposed to help people to grow spiritually.  Due to human imperfection, religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle.  Spirituality is not theology or ideology.  It is simply a Way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High of Creation.  Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other.  As the essence of our existence, it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood and destiny.  A people without a nation that they can  really call their own, is a people without a soul.  Africa is our nation and is in spiritual and physical bondage because Her leaders are turning to outside forces for solutions to African problems when everything Africa needs is within Her.  When African righteous people come together the world will come together. This is our divine destiny!"
Emperor Haile Sellassie I, ever true, ever relevant.

November 2, 1930 Ras Tafari ascended to the throne to claim the new name of Haile Selassie I, Power of the Holy Trinity.  He is the only one in creation to carry the title of King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah with traceable lineage to King Solomon (the Root of David) and  Queen Makeda.  Setting the precedence of order and divine partnership, His Majesty also sealed the investiture of Empress Menen on the same day in a separate ceremony.  Ilect of Himself as the power and might of the Holy Trinity, His Majesty has shown and set forth, many mandates of work and protocol.  Many have doubted, misinformed and even blasphemed His divinity, yet His utterances and works are most relevant to our salvation in this time.  Truth and rights should override the ill-logic of man to a higher realm of faith and overstanding.

Clarity and overstanding in the correlation between the prophetic words of Revelation 5:1-5 :

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, was able to open the scroll, neither to look on it.
And I wept much, because no man was fond worthy to open and read the scroll, neither to look it.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the scroll, and loose its seven seals.
