the birth of Israel, the birth of Christ

Israel is God's firstborn.
He was generated when he came out of the land of Egypt where he suffered between the chains and spiritual solitude. In that land, Israel was a slave, he lost hope dreaming of freedom, fighting every moment to defend his identity and only when he obtained his freedom he was born as a nation.
After the escape, the desert was his childhood, the 'child' Israel was educated by the Law, not by chance that in the Jewish tradition the Sinai is called 'the house of my mother' because, just like a mother, the Law has taken care of this special child partcularly in the first part of his life.

 As a child in the presence of his father, Israel makes mistakes but also good things, he is praised but also  punished, he is heartened and encouraged, he is healthy and sick at time. The Lord, as a good father also supports him with the physical food, through the precision of the Law and the example of the Patriarchs guides him step by step.
The Lord then chooses David who will give birth to the kingdom of God on Earth.
This is a new birth, an election parent-child like, where David is led to something that does not know just like small children who must rely on parents because they have no other way to measure the world and life. For David is chosen by very young, he is educated with promises as we do with children, he is also punished for his own wrong actions as you would do with a beloved child.

From David was born Solomon that generates Menelik I, and he began the lineage of the true Israel.
Menelik is a son away from his father for many years. He remains with his mother and dreams and desires to know his father, he is fascinated and intrigued because he’s aware of the greatness of his parent. This represents the man conscious of the greatness of the Father Creator, but still too far from He, the human being  that aspires to God and is thirsty for His magnificence but yet cannot reach it.

Not by chance only when Menelik I will rejoin with his father Solomon then will officially start the new covenant with the true Israel-Ethiopia and  the Ark will start his journey towards south ..just as the man who is reunited with God begins a new life, a new era, a new election.

When humanity is ready, God establishes a new birth, not human from human, but God from God.
The Lord in the fullness of His divine plan generates Christ, the divine power concentrated in the human person. Through the birth it is manifested the supreme  design and will of God.

Iyasos Krestos, the Christ,  is born as the embodiment of perfect balance in Creation. He’s born among his parents and fellow men, among people but also near to animals ... this is because He reigns over men close and far and also over the natural-animal kingdom. He is the hinge between Heaven and Earth, He is the seal that bonds these two realities.

Christ comes on this earth to share His status, in truth we are a bit like Him ..we are children as He is a child, He is to us like a big brother that shows us the way to the Father.

Christ “generates” children-disciples who in turn enlighten and awaken the nations sharing the sonship and  recognizing themselves as the new men spiritually born of the Word and the Spirit.

Here is a new birth.
As every being needs a seed to be born, here is the Word as a new seed that generates the new man.
Along with the Word there’s the Spirit that strengthens it and makes it perceptible by creating a new and regenerated humanity that can now claim the right to an eternal divine inheritance as born from an incorruptible and timeless seed that can participate in the New Creation.

After two thousand years, the Son of Man returns to earth to fulfill the vital promises: to establish the moral and physical kingdom for which he prepared his children-brothers.
In the new birth of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie Qadamawi Ian’I contemplate the ultimate and salvific birth that leads us to eternity with a new role: Humanity is now in fact a collaborator of God ruling this Creation with Him.
The child Israel was created, educated and now has a job as all adults do. Humanity is working with God for the final edification of His kingdom. In the new covenant with the new spiritual Israel, namely Ethiopia and the Rastafari revelation, the Lord sits at the same table of government. This is the ultimate mission for the definitive happiness and health of mankind.

In 1930 the last birth takes place in which the new nation is baptized and anointed with the new name, in fact, while His Majesty Haile Selassie becomes Qadamawi, I n I become “Rastafari” taking that on us the human name of our Father.

Ian’I Rastafari is the living testimony of the birth, day after day we are ready to celebrate life, we are reborn thanks to the Word Sound and Power to be ever living life every day regenerated from the Power of the Trinity. The birth is for Ian’I a daily experience that we live in every moment, every day the covenant with the Divine Father regenerates us, and the Spirit marks our moments on this earth.

We are warriors protectors of life, confident and sure of the victory of good over evil, we contain the energy of birth because, thanks to our reflections and meditations we outline the parameters of the new Kingdom and of the New Creation.
We are like children and parents at the same time.

With our actions we generate Livity yet we spiritually eat and learn from it, we are servants and protectors of this salvation time, we make sure that the quest for redemption leads our life and rules our lives, we live constantly in a birth process, whose joy has no end, it is an eternal principle that flows unhindered along the lines of time. We are children and parents. We create awareness of the blessing of life and righteousness through our life experience. Every word spoken in the spirit is a new birth for us and for the listeners. In fact, when Ian’I  Rastafari talks and a new brother or sister approaches to the faith helped by our words, then we have contributed to the birth because through our commitment God has made possible for the seed that is planted in all of us to sprout. We are intermediaries always ready to acknowledge the birth, the new road and new life that prevails over evil and death. We rejoice in the spirit as parents that every day watch their child birth, Ian’I observe the triumph of the Kingdom of God, our hearts are filled and show the flowing stream of full joy.
The birth is the fullness of novelty, and this is one of God's characteristics: to be always new, always regenerated, always present but never old.

I n I walk in the novelty and manifests it in all aspects. Our Lord indeed brings a new name, I n I pray and talk in a new way, Ian’I read history with a new interpretation, Ian’I relate to the world with a new awareness, Ian’I eat in a new way, Ian’I  has a new look and lives in fullness of an original novelty ... ancient yet ever new, revealed to a new people chosen in order for all mankind to bring back attention to the original connection between man and God.

We are witnesses, interpreters, narrators of divine joy on Earth, the constant birth of life that permeates this planet, the perennial Christmas in which our lives, our souls and our bodies live.

Life ever living, in the Black Christ Haile Selassie The First, yesterday, today and forIver and Iver.
Selah
