Covenant Rastafari
• Covenant Rastafari believe that Haile Selassie I is the Glory of the Heavenly Father and Son of God. They worship the Father and Son in spirit and truth, believing that His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I is the Anointed One, the chosen and Anointed life mirrored personification of themselves (father & son) as they were before creation, and as they are in heaven "God in all their Glory - Love in all their Glory" the King of Kings & Lord of Lords. 1 Timothy 6:13-16
• Covenant Rastafari believe that God the Son appeared in the Glory of the Father on the throne of David, the throne of Glory in the grace of the Holy Spirit in the mortal man and Ethiopian King, Tafari Makonnen. Matt 25:31 | Luke 1:32 They believe that Tafari Makonnen committed Himself in covenant with God the Father and Son by taking His baptism name of Haile Selassie "power of the holy trinity" to reign, and in so doing the reign and Lord of all power was proclaimed; revealed, glorified and personified through him in the New Name of Haile Selassie I.
• To Covenant Rastafari the New Name Haile Selassie I "power of the holy trinity" means "The Almighty" and the revelation of Haile Selassie I is God reigning in mortal man "in all power and glory" as "The Almighty” the King of Kings & Lord of Lords.
• Covenant Rastafari believe that the appearing upon the Ethiopian throne of Haile Selassie I King of Kings & Lord of Lords, Root of David on November 2, 1930 AD, marks a new time and era "the era and heritage of full salvation". They cite Hebrews 9:28 and the appearing of Christ, who ushers in full salvation. Matt 25:31 | Luke 1:31-33 | Heb 9:28 | Acts 3:19-21
• Covenant Rastafari state that full salvation has come and like eternal life it is not something of the future, but can be received by faith. John 3:16 | John 17:3 | Hebrews 9:28 Those of this faith enter into the life of full salvation in Haile Selassie I Name. They describe full salvation as a divine covenant heritage that allows a one to appropriate (take possession of) the whole Word of God and its blessings from Genesis to Revelation. In a sense they have decided to live the Biblical future now, coming into covenant with the revelation and glory of the Word of God; believing that in the name and revelation of Haile Selassie I, they receive all the blessings and glory of eternity in spirit and truth, i.e. full salvation now, while knowing that the completion of all things has yet to come. In so doing they live this eternal "New Jerusalem" life and covenant heritage as reflected in the Tabot Calendar Revelation 3:12 | Revelation 22:1-2
• The Tabot Calendar declares the AD era has ended, and the new era has begun, the age of H.I.M. The new era declares in the grace of the Holy Spirit, that Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah the root of David has prevailed in the new name and person of Haile Selassie I, the Power of the Holy Trinity, King of Kings & Lord of Lords, the Second coming of the Seed of David in Power, the Glory of the Father.
Covenant Rastafari also believe that:
+ The Holy Bible is the authority of God's Word, and is completely true, in every recorded statement, every prophecy and their fulfilment and in every recorded act and its outcome from Genesis to Revelation. 2 Tim 3:12-17 | 2 Peter 1:20-21 | John 10:34-36 | Psalm 119:160
+ Faith in the promises and principles of the Bible, together with the grace of God, form His covenant. It is this covenant that Covenant Rastafari have entered into. Heb 11:6 | Matt 26:26-29 | John 6:47-58 | John 3:16
+ Jesus Christ is God the Son, God the Word who became flesh, born of the virgin Mary, who was sent to earth to redeem Mankind back to God the Father, who was crucified, died, and was resurrected on the third day and ascended to heaven, who is now glorified with God the Father. John 1:1-3 | John 1:14 John 3:16 | Rev 1:5-6 | Rev 5:9 | Luke 24:46 | Revelation 5:11-13
+ Haile Selassie I is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, who returned, in the Glory of the Heavenly Father, to reign in mortal man in the grace of the Holy Spirit as the “Almighty”, bringing full salvation to Mankind and to judge the Nations. Matt 16:27 | Heb 9:28 | Rev 19:11-16

Famous quotes containing the word covenant:
“Happy is the house that shelters a friend! It might well be built, like a festal bower or arch, to entertain him a single day. Happier, if he know the solemnity of that relation, and honor its law! He offers himself a candidate for that covenant comes up, like an Olympian, to the great games, where the first- born of the world are the competitors.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
