A strong Isis cult remained common to both
Egypt and Ethiopia. There also seems to have been a strong Jewish cultic
tradition based on pre-Talmudic Judaism in which governor-high-priests ruled
over the people. After these priest there appeared kings known as Malkanas, who
later took the name negashi—which meant treasures and collectors; later this
name became Negus Negast, which is translated today as King of Kings. Ethiopian
Christianity is a unique mixture of the old and the new, continuing from the
fourth century A.D. to the present.
Ethiopian Christianity represents a branch of the church that separated with Western Christianity and the Eastern Orthodox church over the interpretation of the nature of Jesus Christ. The Eastern and Western church hold that Jesus was both human and divine. The Coptic church and Ethiopian church believe that Jesus had only a divine nature.
Marcus Garvey Meanwhile... on the Island of Jamaica in the West Indies, Marcus Garvey , a self educated Black man said to be of unmixed {Pure } Negro blood was preaching his interpretation of the gospel, and adaptation to the down trodden Negroes . He founded the Rastafarian Religion which is a racially based belief system {Not unlike the original Old Testament interpretations}. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement and Conservation Association and African Community League. The primary objectives of the Association was "...to establish Universities, Colleges and Secondary Schools for the further education and culture for Negro Children to conduct a world-wide commercial and industrial intercourse." He was instrumental in forming
"Declaration of the Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World." It compiled
grievances of the delegates against the wrong and injustices of Negro people; is
demanded and insisted upon certain rights; Perhaps the most enshrined
legacy of that convention was the presentation of the "Red, Black, and Green"
flag and the symbolism of its colors: red for the "color of the blood which men
must shed for their redemption and liberty," black for "the color of the noble
and distinguished race to which we belong," and green for "the luxuriant
vegetation of our Motherland." One of the tenets of this religion was that a Black
Messiah was coming Women's role in Rasta life is clearly a restricted one. They are child bearers, fire builders, cooks, and honored servants. They wear no make up or fragrances. They are not allowed to draw from the chillum. "Their dress must be modest, as dictated by Deuteronomy 22:5 Basically, they believe in a trans-cultural interpretation of the Old Testament. In it's present state Rasta farianism is an archaic conflicting package. Many outsiders ridicule the groups belief that the late Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie was the Messiah who came to Earth to reunite Africans -- If they believe it, it's their reality ---- ITS THEIR TRUTH. -- It must be so. As they continue to draw from the chillum perhaps his message becomes clearer.
chillum = the part of a water pipe that contains the substance - tobacco , hashish, marijuanna - which is smoked; also : a quantity of a substance thus smoked
