"Knowing the whole story"?

"You can not overthrow

the truth." 

If you want 

the whole truth?

Then you have to read 

the whole thing.

Otherwise? 

You are just getting bits and pieces of

the whole truth.

"our people have our roots"

(Seekers of truth)

"When we search for it?

We find it in Rasta.

There is no other way.

We dont see no other way."

RASTA

Spiritual / Attitude: 

In slang or conversational Patois, 

being or calling someone "Rasta" can denote 

a sense of being true to oneself, 

free from societal shackles, 

and conscious of African heritage 

and natural living 

("livity").

It aint nothing about

a skin color, or a country of origin

or smoking Ganja.

Marley's own words:

On what it means to be a Rasta: 

"You is ya own man. 

That is the first time 

you own yourself. 

You do what you want to do

-anything people want to say 

about you, 

you don't care."

And Peter Tosh:

"A rastaman speaks the truth.

 He is in touch with the creator."

And Rasta has been 

an big influence 

in my life

since I was 19 years old.

Somebody

Just your average everyday;

scientifically minded theist.

Sufi/Rasta inspired 

Christian Mystic/Apologetic

Polemicist, Expositor,

Visionary Prophet and Revolutionary.

A "Blended" Historical Premillennial

-Post Tribulationist, 

which places my hermeneutics 

smack dab in the middle of 

Literal vs Allegory."

"Rastas place great emphasis on the idea 

that personal experience and intuitive understanding 

should be used to determine the truth or validity 

of a particular belief or practice. 

"Some Rastas consider themselves Christian, "

(This Christian,

considers himself 

strongly influenced

by Rasta)

"and the religion (philosophy) has been deeply influenced by both Christian and Jewish thought; the scholar Michael Barnett called Rastafari "an Afrocentralized blend of Christianity and Judaism".Like Christianity, Rastafari treats the Bible as a holy book occupying a central place in its belief system, with Rastas often adopting a literalist interpretation of its contents. Rastas regard the Bible as an authentic account of early black African history and of their place as God's favoured people."

(Not all, 

but mostly the

Ethiopian Jews,

descendants of Abraham,

that converted to Christianity

they get the inner court

with God.

Gentiles get the outer.

Revelation 11:1-2.)

"They believe the Bible to be key 

to understanding 

both the past 

and the present 

and for predicting the future,"

(YEAH, NO KIDDIN lol.)

"while also regarding it as a source book from which they can form and explain their beliefs and practices."

(YEAH, NO KIDDIN lol.)

"Rastas commonly perceive 

the final book of the Bible, 

the Book of Revelation, 

as the most important part, 

because they see its contents 

as having particular significance 

for the world's present situation."

(YEAH, NO KIDDIN lol.)

"A reporter ask Marley once 

if you had to be black 

to be a Rasta and he said, 

"If you cant come black

come how god made you."

Then later he said:

"It helps"

(bein' black lol)

Anyway:

"Rasta/Sufi inspired 

Christian mystic and visionary"

by the grace of  God.

Rastafari literally means:

"The power of the trinity."

It's 

Protestantism

+

Mysticism

+

Pan Africanism

As in:

"If you aint from the rift valley?

Then you are an immigrant.

~

George Carlin

Humanity came from Africa.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Anyway(s)

This philosophy or influence is obviously

not for everyone.

And I am not encouraging anyone

to adopt it.

I'm just trying to explain

my viewpoints 

and how they came to be etc...

Point being it is not

 gonna change now

or ever.

"The mass of men 

lead lives of quiet desperation. 

What is called resignation 

is confirmed desperation."

Civil Disobedience and Other Essays Quotes.

Read it in English class when I was 15

years old and we were studying 

the transendenalist.

I immediately stopped reading.

Looked out the schoolroom window

(I could take you right to that spot still today)

and said to my self:

"Well not fuckin me."

Cause I saw it in everyone 

that was around me

and I just was not going to have it.

I'm a rebel, soul rebel

I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

See the morning sun

On the hillside

Not living good, yeah, travel wide

Said I'm a living man

I've got work to do

If you're not happy, children

Then you must be blue

(Must be blue, must be blue)

People say

(I'm a rebel)

Let them talk

(Soul rebel)

Talk won't bother me

Capturer (I'm a capturer)

That's what they say

(Soul adventurer)

Night and day

(I'm a rebel)

I'm a rebel

Soul rebel

Do you hear them, lippy?

(I'm a capturer)

Gossip around the corner

(Soul adventurer)

How they adventure on me, y'all

But, see the morning sun

On the hillside

Not living good, travel wide

Said I'm a living man

I've got work to do

(Must be blue)

If you're not happy, then you must be blue

(Must be blue, must be blue)

[Chorus]

I'm a rebel (Rebel)

Soul rebel

I'm a capturer (Capturer)

Soul adventurer

Do you hear me?

(I'm a rebel)

Rebel in the morning

(Soul rebel)

Rebel at midday time

I

Has a copy of what is 

written here:

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2017

It's

And then goes on to say:

"Plus?

I heard it straight from the evil one himself:

"You're a powerful man."

I promise ya I did.

I know exactly what 

he was talking about.

So did he.

You ready for all this Lucy?

Love you sweetheart.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Right before bed. 

I was like what? 

Go read what? 

Again? 

Okay.

And I got to Revelation 2:2 

and it was clear as day. 

Go through here and underline 

all the verses about perseverance, endurance etc. 

So I did. 

Then I went back and read them eac,

h in order by themselves 

after highlighting, underlining them. 

It was pretty apparent the next day 

what I was supposed to post here."

SO:

I

 

do not like conflict.

I really don't.

My anger scares me.

So I really just don't like conflict

just for that reason alone

But if I get drug into one

I didn't want to be in to start with?

I WILL NOT RUN FROM IT EVER.

Then I will gear up 

and pack a lunch

for the duration.

Its a very simple philosophy

I try my best to live by:

DONT START NO SHIT.

WONT BE NO SHIT.

The inverse is always 

true as well.

Pretty simple.

It's

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Whoever has ears, let them hear. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength yet you have kept my word and not denied my name. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 

But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.” 

The Spirit and the bride say, 

“Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” 

Let the one who is thirsty come; 

and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

like he wanted me to read these passages in this manner. 

The verses are the puzzle pieces

and he just put them together for me. 

I don't know how else to describe it Lucy.

Love you sweetheart.

So what is your interpretation of these verses?

And who are they speaking of again?

Revelation 2:26-28

To the one who is victorious 

and does my will to the end,

I will give authority 

over the nations— that one 

‘will rule them with an iron scepter 

and will dash them to pieces 

like pottery’—

just as I have 

received authority

 from my Father. 

I will also give that one the morning star.

Its not complicated.

He aint given power to himself.

DUH.

And I understand all the cross references

are all about him and they all follow along with those verses.

But It is someone following in his footsteps.

A forerunner like him saying 

look out for what's coming...

Cause we aint nothin...

(Not worthy of his shoes etc...)

Jesus Christ caused 

the biggest religious disturbance

there ever was 

and we are still feeling 

its reverberations today

BECAUSE IT SHOOK THE SPIRIT WORLD

as well as the earthly one.

John the Baptist caused a religious disturbance.

Martin Luther caused a religious disturbance.

John and Charles Wesley caused a religious disturbance.

But nobody is going to cause one 

in this day and age?

When things have become this obviously 

corrupt and polluted?

Right...gotcha...makes perfect sense...

People should have been aware 

and on the lookout for 

JTB 2.0 as well

demonic deception

as a fulfillment of biblical

end time prophecy

and a harbinger of

Christ imminent return.

They werent.

Not our problem.

"Church gotta catch up."

I remember somebody saying...

Bonafides:

Credentials or proof: 

The documents, qualifications, 

experience, or background checks 

that prove someone or something is genuine, 

legitimate, or qualified

ALSO:

"It

came to me last night.

The "New Church"?

Will be like the old church.

Like the one before Constantine.

Like the family practice

suggested in the Mendenhall bible.

The old will become new.

The new will become old.

The end is the beginning.

The beginning is the end."

I don't even remember having wrote it

or thought it that far back.

And yes 100% absolutely.

"Family Practice"

"Make your homes lil Churches."

The Bishop says...

Agreed...

You are going to need them...

Haggai 2:6-7

 

For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 

Yet once,

 it is a little while, 

(For him it is...

Seems like forever to us.)

and I will shake the heavens, 

and the earth, and the sea, 

and the dry land;

7 And I will shake all nations, 

(Think they aint

"shook"

already?)

and the desire of all nations shall come: 

(Christ second advent)

and I will fill this house 

(The earth this time around)

with glory, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

(Angels)

"and I will shake the heavens"
