Remember when I wanted to talk to y'all about the Houthis, Hezbollah, all of these different topics where I'm like, when you get into a religion, just like, listen, listen, when I say Christian, it's the same concept. When I say Christian, we talk about Mount Zion all the time. Matter of fact, if you black, you probably went to Mount Zion AME. New Gethsemane Church of God in Christ.
Now, I made that up right now. There probably is a New Gethsemane. There's probably a Mount Zion AME. I know there is. There's one in South Central. What I'm trying to say is we use these terms all the time because they in the Bible. But when I say Christian, That's what I mean. Now, when you say Christian, you may think Holy Roller Pentecostal. You may think Trump.
You may think you may think Catholic. You may think there's so many other things you might think that are all these. So you ask you ask 10 different Christians, what does it mean to be Christian? You're going to get 10 different answers, most likely. Remember we did the Terraform episode with the homie Kevin Garcia, and I tried to break down in the beginning.
It was tough, but I tried to give y'all a cursory understanding of Western church history. You see how I had to give that caveat that I'm talking about Western church. We ain't talking Coptic. We not talking Greek Orthodox. We not talking Russian Jesuit. There's... You could really get lost in the weeds.
So please give me that grace that what I am about to talk to you about is grossly truncated, okay? But it's just to help y'all understand so that as you have your picket signs out, that at least you don't sound like a her. So first, let me teach y'all what the rastadim, what the rastadim mean when they say Mount Zion. And I'm sorry about my patois rastadim.
Okay, first, let me step back and say what is Rastafarianism. Now, I would say like globally, it's probably one of the youngest world religions getting its roots by name in the 1930s, deriving from the Ethiopian emperor, Haile Selassie, okay? Now, as I say this again, like Rasta, Rastafari, like this is not a compartmentalized philosophy or religion. This is a way of life. Right. A liberty.
You know, this is this is our culture, our heritage, our history. Right. And our way of being, which some could argue is, well, that's the definition of a religion. religion a way of being, right? Your liturgy. Anyway, there is an encompassing around this. Now, it is impossible to separate Rasta from the African-ness of it, okay? So the belief is this,
When you listen to roots reggae, when you listen to Bob Marley and them, there's so much to cover. Dancehall, that's the club music. Roots reggae, think of this as worship. This is praise and worship. There is a tie going back to the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. Now, I'm getting into my Old Testament. This is why there's so much Judaism and Christian tied to it, because there is a belief that
And rightfully so, because if you believe the Bible, it's in the scriptures, is that the Queen of Sheba, which was believed to be an ancient queen from the region of Ethiopia. Now, obviously, Ethiopia is ancient.
a nation state, but Ethiopia as a continual connection of tribes, Oromo, Tigray, like just the different tribes that are there, they have Ethiopia and Thailand shares the legacy of being the only two countries that were never colonized or conquered. Not Israel, Italy almost did, right? The British almost did, but they were never able to actually conquer.
colonize ethiopia and ethiopia takes a lot of pride in this so a lot of their lineage and heritage because their history wasn't cut off or attempted to be erased you can know a lot about them ethiopia in the scriptures in the bible is called the land of cush also right it's believed that moses's wife zipporah was from Ethiopia when Moses, this is all Old Testament stuff, but it all makes sense.
It all makes sense as to why the connection is so important to them. Moses, before the whole let my people go, before the Ten Commandments type joint, Moses supposedly, according to the story, saw a pharaoh one of Pharaoh's guards abusing one of the Jewish slaves and he hopped up and killed the guy and then he had to run. And so then when he ran, he ran to Midian and he married Jethro's daughter.
And it was believed that that area was Ethiopia. Okay. So at least the region that we now call Ethiopia. So there's this belief that Moses' first wife was Ethiopian. You fast forward to Solomon, King David, King David's son, right? The writer of Psalms.
And it's believed that according to the passages that he had never seen anybody more beautiful or a kingdom more amazing than the kingdom that the Queen of Sheba came from. Now you fast forward to Emperor Selassie. And Emperor Selassie, a... A Romo Ethiopian man who became the emperor of what we know to be Ethiopia, right? Geopolitically.
But it's a belief that his bloodline can be traced back to King Solomon, right? The emperor bloodline of Ethiopia can be traced back to King Solomon. That's the Rasta belief. Again, ask many Rastas, you might get many answers. But overall, this is the belief, right?
now set that aside okay another connection is in i know it's a lot of bible stuff but you got to follow me because we are talking about jews and rastas so of course we're going to talk about the bible right now the book of acts in the bible has this story of this one of the apostles named philip and philip runs into an ethiopian eunuch who according to the Bible was reading the book of Isaiah.
And Philip sees him on the road and he's like, You know what you're reading? And the dude's like, how can I know if nobody teaches him? So he sits down with him and he, according to the scripture, according to the Bible, explains Isaiah, the prophecies, the Messiah, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and how that stuff was prophesied in the book of Isaiah, blah, blah, blah.
So he ties all the things. And then it says that this Ethiopian eunuch got baptized right then. Now, it is then believed that he brought Christianity as we know it Their belief is like, we saw it right there. But prop, I thought Rasta was Jamaican. I'll get to it. So that's tie number three, right?
Now, the fourth tie, which is one of the most compelling things to me between the Jews, Zion, and Ethiopia is the city of Aksum. So the city of Aksum is... in the northern part of Ethiopia, and is known to be, and it's truthfully, the first and oldest Christian city. Because contrary to what your little white pastor will teach you, the faith went to Africa before it went to Europe, okay?
Hell, it went to Mongolia before it went to Europe. The point is, The white man ain't teach us who Jesus was. Now, it is also believed that the Ark of the Covenant from the Old Testament is in Axum. There are ruins at different churches that have good archaeological evidence.
