I was wondering why some Rastafari people believe that Selassie I will come again in flesh to take the black race back to Zion.
I have trouble with this because of I own overstanding of certain ideas pertaining to the Bible...
I overstand for I self that Selassie I was the Second Coming of Christ in flesh. I have never heard of a Third Coming of Christ???
If so, I am not reading the Book as I man should be.
Also, I overstand that Selassie I never left for He is in I and I all the time.
I also overstand that Words have a powerful force and we should not chant down HIM name by assuming that He is dead, or even mixing Selassie I with such talk for it is blasphemy. He travels through spirit, I feel His divine judgement every day! So if HIM never left than how can he come back?
HIM already came in the flesh, no more prophecy, only revelation.
Sight?
I knowledge stands still, just wondering.

An excellent question/topic still.
I am of the current persuasion; that although H.I.M. Selassie I materialised in flesh, that is is finite, flesh is just a vehicle for the consciousness to manifest and operate within this physical dimension. As I have said previously,
I n I are just Spiritual Beings on a Human (physical) journey. All that we require to enjoy our finite experience on the Earth is around us. But the system has conspired to inveigle us into thinking that we are the physical beings on a spiritual journey. That is the essence of the system in which we now live, a system that seeks to enslave us under the One World Order, within the mental and physical prison we know as life. i.e. A Material Existence within a pyramid of manipulation. Which is certainly different to living in a system based upon Equity and One Love, as opposed to the Injustice, Hatred, for materialism and profit which is the cohesive glue that binds and shackle us today. They say that they rule by representation, when what we really need is Intelligent Self Control in other words
be able to Live in peace and harmony.
Selassie I. Melchizedek, Yashua, et al are all physical signs of the greater beyond. and each of them in their own way, points us towards the beyond and the fact that we are part of the one universal consciousness. The confusion lies in the fact that they (the system) have created gods in their own images and that simple idea has wrought so much confusion and misery through out history. That is why there a inherent fear of departure is deeply imprinted on so many. In terms of the flesh no one lives for ever, but in terms of consciousness and the real you, no one ever dies.
Even though flesh is finite, Selassie I doesn't die as he is part of the eternal consciousness,. In fact all we do in this dimension is shed flesh and our consciousness moves on to the next level. Peter Tosh once sang that "Every One wants to go Heaven, But No One wants to Die." But that is but a part of the cycle. Which has now become the tool of ultimate control.
I will end with a paradox, If as they say, the flesh and every cell within the body renews itself on a seven year cycle then doesn't that mean none of us are really older that seven or eight years old?
