Emperor Haile Selassie, who ruled Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974, died in 1975, but he lives on through the romantic lyrics of the late Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley and Ethiopian pop star, Tewedros Kassahun, better known as Teddy Afro.
Yet there is a wide range of views of the man whose full official title was: “His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings and Elect of God.” Some remember him as a benevolent ruler who resisted Italian colonization. For others, he is a god, yet others view him as a tyrant.
Marley’s portrayal of Selassie is strongly influenced by the Rastafarian belief that he is God incarnate, as allegedly “prophesied” by Marcus Garvey. On the other hand, Teddy Afro, an Ethiopian, is promoting his version of Ethiopianism (Ethiopiawinet).

72 nations paid homage to his imperial majesty as so shall we Jah Rastafari!
My great great grandfather, Joseph Mathunye Kanyane Napo, founded the African Church in 1888 and teamed up with Mangena Mokone to establish the Ethiopian Church in 1892. Like the founders of the African Methodist Episcopal church in America about a century earlier, these men were also inspired by Psalm 68:31. I consider them as the fathers of Pan Africanism in South Africa and should be recognised as such. Their names appear in Minkah Makeleni's writings.

appreciate the info and focus on Our history and culture. some of the books and historical figures you cite are new to me. thank you Queen for breakin it down. looking forward to your next episode
I thank you for this series,teaching our story that was unknown for reasons we can't understand.
It's my pleasure
blessed greetings my elder in His Majesty's name and that Empress Menen Asfaw Giorgis. Blessed thanks for the respectful and thorough presentation. I as a Ras Tafari, called by His new and precious name, would say that you brought justice and light to Negusa Nagast and His everlasting throne. Germawi Qedamawi Haile Selassie lives in the heart of the living
He also formed the O.A.U and was called “Father of Africa”by most African leaders.Thank you for this work your doing !
Because they don't know that he hate black African and love being Arab and European and killed all the dark skin tribe who are the real people of Ethiopia and not these Arabs Asian looking who think that they are white until they meet real Arabs and asian who tell them that they are not one of them
That is your personal opinion not based on any facts,he gave Mandela military training,Kenyatta ,Nkrumah ,Nyere and the rest of the African leaders admired HIM.
There are other founding fathers of OAU like Kwame Nkurumah and Julius Nyerere.
@@Nkosi766 two dictators whose tenure ship saw the death of millions simply looking after each other🤷♂️
@@Nkosi766 Jean Bokassa🤣🤣. He was mental just like our leaders are mental. Lets not focus on Europe but focus on our leaders who are aiding and facilitating our oppression through corruption and mis governance.
Thanks for this short information and mere facts of the teachings and movements of Ras Tafari.... Adding to the fact that He's not only the last emperor of Ethiopia, but the last King of the Davidic, Solomonic, and Israel.... Ras Tafari!
So this guy was the decendant of king David and Solomon!?!?
@@brandonharwell95 The Man child, he's descendant of Great David and king Solomon indeed!
He was not given any Ras name at birth because that's a rank that has to be earned. He was promoted to Ras from Dejasmatch at age 24 and from Ras to Negus at age 36. Then to Negusa Negast (emperor) at age 38.
Yea man tell them . Endezia niew it's Not easy even to get (Ras)
A very enlightening episode about our undeniable link, that connected the African diaspora through H.I.M. Emperor Hails Selassie I, and our peoples in the Rastafarian communities all over the globe. Keep the fiery energy in sharing what's important to our well being, as a people from an ancient kingdom.
Dr.Abey Ahmed restore this ethiopian tradition even if symbolic. It is very important for Ethiopia history. Nothing has ever been perfect. Give it a chance. It is a pride for all of Africa. Saying out loud from Kenya.
These are the things rastafari hold strong to.
I flew lear jet over St. Mary Parrish and noticed at least 5 acres of weed in the fields. (Jamaica)
this is an accurate analysis well researched, I'm Rastafari born in jamaica. Seal of approval
Ma'am, thanks for your wonderful job on Africa historical past!
A Maximum Respect Doctor...
Your historical assessment upon The Hola Land & Haile Selassie I was concise, thorough, and 100% accurate! We thank you !
Kings of kings, lords of lords, conquering lion of the tribe of Judah.
But isn’t that supposed to be Jesus Christ’s titles?
@@wanjiru93 Aren't those Horus' titles
@@thatomolapo1587 who's horus?
@@wanjiru93 Horus is son Osirus. He lived and ruled the pharoes of Egypt. He was Lord of lords, and King of kings millenia before Christ. Most of Horus' titles were referred to Christ of Israel.
@@thatomolapo1587 and was horus also referred to also as the Lion of the tribe of Judah?
following you from Zambia am really enjoying your work, and please i need the full video of mansa musa i need that one.
Thankful for wonderful presentation God bless you
Your works is wonderful
Thanks for sharing and getting people familiar with the king of kings. A couple of corrections to keep the record straight. He was born Lidj Teferi mekwenen (makonen) which means the free born child, born without sin. Ras is a rank like a Regent or Duke. His full title at this stage was Inderasè Bale Siltan Ras Teferi . Which is Prince directly in line to the throne also Regent with full authority to handle all of Ethiopa's Affairs. Even Muslim revere his extraordinary birth, which also coincidences with Rev ch 12. The imperial symbol that you speak of is seen by many but truly understood by a few. This represents his Heraldry. It is also the coat of arms for Christian Ethiopia, the triple crown represents the Father Son and the Holy Spirit. Underneath is the Bible (opened ) , the three Ethiopian Fidels (letters ) means Alpha and Omega. The two archangels are Michael and Gabriel, this is also Ex ch 25 the throne of the most high on the Ark in the Tabernacle . At the bottom it says Conquering Lion of Judah, with the Lion carrying the Cross of Calvary representing Christ victory over Death. I look forward to see if you do a follow up episode with more of the unknown knowledge to corroborate about our history and help those who are searching to find truth. Would love to hear a episode about the Housa people and their family ties to ancient Ethiopia. Give thanks
Great work Sister but we do not deal with any form of "ism" Also His Majesty's father was the adviser to Menelik the 2nd not the 3rd.
Rastafarians consider H. I. M. Selassie I to be a member of the Solomonic Dynasty from the Union of Solomon (wa) and the Queen of Sheba.
Ethiopia is now considered by some authorities to be the first nation to adopt Christianity as an official religion in the early 3rd Century AD.
H. I. M. is also admired by Rastafarians for his regal bearing and attire (both are praised in many reggae songs and his outfits are emulated for special occasions); for being a leader of an African Christian nation with a strong Judaic tradition (Rastafarianism is a mixture of both, and the official Ethiopian Orthodox Tawahedo church is the official church for many Rastas with branches in countries with a strong Rasta culture like Jamaican and Trinidad); for leading his troops into battle during the 2nd Italian Invasion in the mid 1930's and for his prophecy that European countries would soon suffer the same fate as Ethiopia due to the European nations' failure to resist the military aggressions of Fascist Italy, which came true;
for his work in bringing the African continent together through being a driving force and foundation member of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) formed in 1963 and headquartered in his capital Addis Ababa;
for providing military training and assistance and refuge for several freedom movements in Africa especially Mandela's ANC.
His visit to Jamaica the home of Rastafarianism was a source of great pride to the Rastas.
H. I. M.'s titles (Lion of the Tribe of Judah etc) and royal symbols figure heavily in Rastafarian culture.
His speech before the United Nations General Assembly on October 4 1963 about the proliferation of worldwide conflict and injustice was turned into a hit reggae song "War" by Jamaican Rastafarian reggae superstar Bob Marley and released on his hit 1976 album "Rastaman Vibrations".
Many Jamaican reggae artistes sing about H. I. M. and or include his images, symbols in their record artwork etc.
I and I Love the movement 🇲🇱🇺🇸🇯🇲👑 of Rastafari king selassie live 🇲🇱

Glad it inspired you, Shawn!
This video is so interesting. I want to learn more about Ethiopia.
THANK YOU DR. OYISAN. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE BOOKS YOU REFERENCED IN THIS VIDEO? WOULD BE A GREAT RESOURCE FOR UPDATING SELF.
That was concise. thank You.
It' was very interested and unexpected that to see and heard one of African from Nigerian to speak about one of the African History Mostly Ethiopians and Rastafarians Jamaicans telling and look like the African History (REPRATHENTUING ) .
However we all African should talk about all African History educating African and how far we came ....
Thank you for all your work, Queen! This Queen is my new goddess of knowledge. Mad respect ✌🏼
Big up to mama Sankofaaa 💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥
Thank you, this video cleared up a lot of questions for me
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very different perspective from what I am used to.
Yes it is ,because as a youth in the Bahamas, when I started to hail ,the. King, growing my dreads,the older people, used to say a lot off not so good things about the king ,but I wasn't mad at them ,cause i know that ,what was hidden from the wise, an the foolish, was reveal unto the babe, an the suckling
Amazing woman thou art! Thanks for sharing the good news that only the awaken ones will overstand.
Thank you so much!
In the spiritual context, I believe he is also the living image of god/universe not just because he was Ras Tafari, Haile Selassie, or the Negusa Negast but because of his Soul, that soul is a child of the universe who has lived many times before as some of the most loving, empathetic and righteous people to ever exist on this planet
May I know how you get to know or accept that his soul has been around far beyond his existence during the 20th century
@@obibiniraz8223 of course, as I know it his soul is the first soul of earth and he has reincarnated constantly, he has lived more lives than any other soul, a soul as ancient as his is able to live in as many as 7 different people at once, many rastafarians understand this - hence their love for him as a symbol of the universe, I learned this through various means, including history, dreams, symbols, astral projection and travelling physically(to kenya and uganda) and dimensionally, I must say I had absolutely no idea that all of that was going to happen, but it actually became quite easy to put it all together over time, the problem is when it comes to sharing these things with others it's almost impossible to explain unless you travel the same line as I have which we know is very unlikely to happen, but you can still travel your own to learn these things, what I know for sure though is that I had to change as a person before much of the knowledge was shared, only when I removed my selfishness and my anger, furthered my understanding of empathy and love was I able to see all of this, have you ever astral projected?
@@glasyalabolas4236 this is amazing. I wish to attain such understanding one day
@@obibiniraz8223 it is personal in the sense I have come to learn these things because of the path I have chosen, but the information is open to anyone who can tread a path the universe respects, because you will be tested, your character will be tested, the universe knows all your thoughts, all your feelings, that's why the rasta sing to Jah, they are openly speaking with the universe. You are already on a path that's why you ask the questions, your patience will be tested also and you must keep on with your desire to know, there is a man you might of heard of called jiddu krishnamurthi, he wrote a book called the ending of time with a man called david Bohm, it is about moving past time and thinking, because thinking implies time, whilst insight is instant, if you ever have the chance to read this book you should do so, it will greatly help you understand how spending a lifetime acquiring knowledge is no comparison to the insight of the universe, being able to simply know in an instant is the highest of human ability, like Robert Marley would say, "who feels it knows it more" its insight over thinking and when the universe opens this door you will know it and you will feel it opening, so keep on brother
@@glasyalabolas4236 the i forgot to tell him to keep his Temple clean in a ital way for higher frequency with the universe
Thank you mama you are the queen 👸🏽 of the earth 🌍
can you please show a break down of how sellassiei is connected to king soloman and the queen of sheba
We've gotten a couple of this. Maybe we will do something on it soon. Please turn on your notification so you don't miss a thing.
He is the 225th descendant in an unbroken lineage.
Do you have scriptures to show that Sellassie was a product of Solomon and Sheba? Or what source did you get that from?
Ras was a title/rank gained well into adulthood by Emperor Selassie. Lij, Dejazmach, Ras, Negus, Negusa Negast(King of Kings) are different ranks His Majesty carried.
Now I know where the Rastafarians got their name from, thanks! 👍
Thanks for this knowledge God bless
Strength unto strength.
The birth name of Emperor Haile Selassie was Lij Teferi Makonnen, not Ras Teferi Makonnen. The title,"Ras", came later which is equivalent to a Duke. Also, it is not Emperor Menelik III, but rather Menelik II. There is no Emperor Menelik III, at least not yet. Haile Selassie was the emperor's baptismal name given as a baby by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church, which would eventually become his regnal name.

I'm always glad when I see Nigerians talk about Rastafari because I feel it's has been lost in the hearts of Nigerians and today's people don't want anything to do with it tbh I feel lonely but now I know Nigerians know Rastafari!!!!!
You're not alone, I love the rasta
@@omorjay nice one, thumbs up are you Nigerian?

My god and king 👑
GREAT!! Thank you
Hail HIM Rastafari King Selassie I est l'Unique et Il est notre Seigneur et Dieu.
Love that i am ethiopiain fully agry by that what you say it god bless Ethiopian and Ras teferian
Little mistake with the information mama so i will tell u this 🇪🇹Haile Selassie 1st 🇪🇹is his baptismal name , Tafari is the name his mother named him ,, Ras is just a title he got when the Queen give him Harror to run just like his father ok, Ras mean head so it easy to overstand how Rastafarian lifestyle started. 🇪🇹
Good work queen 🇯🇲🇪🇹🐺🦁
I subscribed
Thanks ma
No Emperor Haile Selassie I was born as Lij Tafari Makonnen Woldemikael. His father was Ras Makonnen Woldemikael Woldemelakot. Ras is a Ethiopian nobility title. The Emperor was not born as Ras Tafari. He achieved that rank in 1916 when he became regent of Ethiopia under Empress Zawditu Menelik I. He became King (Negus) in 1928 & became Emperor in 1930 whereby he used his baptismal name Haile Selassie (Power of the Trinity) for his Throne name. Bless!!!
Correction, birth name Tafari Makonnen he became Ras later in life. Christened Haile Selassie a few days after birth. Adopted the christened name at the coronation and became 1 Haile selassie
Thank you Queen mother ❤️👌🏿
He been a keeper of for the coming Christ crown he can be a good spiritually master...
Some of us real ethiopians still belive he is AMLOK
Thanks🙏
Thank you too
Blessings. I want to repatriate.
Nick Mack is here. Pray for I and I
You want to go to africa
Beautiful
blessed love
Did you say the cross and the star of David represent Islam?
Thanks dear sister you pointed some points even if it is pain for those don't like ethiopia and unity of black people of Africa. Real Haile silassie were African and He approved in many occasion to clam liberty and equality and justice. Ofcourse together with many african leaders then in power. We africans have bad habbit and criticize formers but not doing for now and future. May God help us to leave this cancerous thinking and co operate to progress more Panafricanism so then our enemies will ashamed and accept that we are blacks in color but not blacked and blocked in mind !!!!!!!!!! Dead for racists and LONG LIVE AFRICA !!!!
Jamaica Jamaica
His name was not "rastafare" at birth his name was tafari makonen .....the "Ras" is a title
The connection of rastas is both celestial and terrestrial
He fulfilled revelations 19. Who can be said to be greater?
Teach them
What kind of question is that? I thought it waz a hairstyle 🤔
Give thanks mama. Not “ism” though. Much love
Jahstranjah music
During the war against certain conquerors the Jamaicans refused to cut their hair until the battle of Ethiopia was won. Then Locs became a style.... then later a way of life and religion, rastafari.
The Ethiopians and Sallasie defeated their battles and gave birth to the term. Conquering Lion!
Rasta is not a religion
And “conquering lion of the tribe of Judah” is a biblical term
Bc they made a nazarite vow. A covenant with God.
I give thanks to the most hogh
Menelik III is wrong Menelik II is Right !
Rastafarians couldnot endure the racism in the West and moved to the only "free" country that participated the scramble of Afrika but unfortunately didn't know that was enslaving over 50 million none Amhara natives and were resettled in a land its owners were forcibly displaced
Lenard Percival Howell is the first rasta and is a Garveyite. He traveled around Europe and got into Marxism, When he returns he sets up a community in the Hills. Marijuana use was influenced from the Hindu's in Jamaica as he was looking for a reincarnated God and ways to develop their 'livity' at this point, none of that community have dread locks. (So you dont need to have a lock to be a rasta).

About the crecent i don't know because he was 100 percent orthodox
Give thanks mama jah love the gates of zion(ethiopia) than all the dwelling of jacob(israel)-blessed be Mariam of zion (ARK)who reside in the holy mountain of HER ethiopia mother of mothers
"The ELECT of God" Black Americans are always saying Jesus his feet were that of "Brass and his hair was that of wool" Selah. Behold the the seed of David has prevailed. Stop waiting for Zeus to come from the sky.
✊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I’m white and I’m a Rasta
No Ism in Ras Tafari. It is simply the way of life.
I don't think the cross in the coat of arms has anything to do with Christianity it repesents earth wind fire and water
You are incorrect.
@@pablonapt3309 then can you educate me please
You are beautiful
Thank you, Justin.
Heart of love queen
H.I.M. name is spelled Teferee not Tafari. Ras mean head in charge
Teferee mean to be feared...
The spelling is the anglicized version of it n that shouldn't be a much burden
🙌🏾🌍
Rastafarians is a evolutionize revolutionary christianized kingdom, roots of the Nazarites. Hail Selassie kingdom, involves queen and offsprings.
Thanks to Dr. Bunmi for her presentation, would like to add however our faith is not based on belief but in visions and dreams and in other instances where he talks to us just as He did with Samuel in the Bible. Christ when he was working great miracles among the people ask the twelve disciples, 'who do men say that I' am?, and they answered, ''some say you are Elias, some say John the Baptiste. He asked them, ''who do you say that I am?. Peter answered, the son o the living God. Christ answered, f''flesh and blood hath not revealed this to you, only my Father can reveal this to you. He ask them these questions because he knew even among the twelve there were doubters. People difficulty in seeing what we the Rastafarians declare is not surprising and is based on the false doctrine that God is a spirit, for God said he made man in his own image and likeness. That's why He taught us to pray,Our Father, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. HAILE SELASSIE I is the fulfillment of that prayer and is is suppportd by Psalms87, ''behold!, Philistia and Tyre with ETHIOPIA this MAN was born there. SELAH. HAILE SELASSIE I
🎯❣️🙏🏾
Emperor Haile Selassie is the liberator of all mankind.
Great teachments except for the "isms"...there is no Rastafarianism or Ithiopianism.
No he is not and hate being African but love being European and Arab
@Yo ni still wonder how he died the way he did...in cells if he was loved world over,just asking.
@Yo ni I believe that famine was even engineered by the gas sprayed through italian airplanes!
