A Spiritual Look on Reggae Music - A Meditation by Messian Dread

SPIRITUAL LOOK ON REGGAE MUSIC



A MEDITATION BY MESSIAN DREAD

WWW, September 2007 - The Rhythm of Reggae is more or less the heartbeat of my soul. I eat, drink and breath Reggae Music while giving thanks and praises to the Creator for JAH Music every time I do so.

Some people think that I'm doing the wrong thing, there. I beg to differ, Sir!

Without any apology, I can say that the Most High Jah used Reggae Music to call me to Him and become His son through the fulfilled Works of Yesus Kristos.

Even though I'm the son of a preacher man, even though my mother separated me for Jah before I was born, even though I grew up in the Pentecostal Church and heard the Bible from a very young age, that is.

The message that I got as a young child, was that there was a "God" and he was called "Jesus Christ". This "God" created a "Judeo-Christian Civilization" and demanded total obedience to that "Civilization": a Church-And-State System that can be traced back to the Tower of Babel somewhere in the Middle East.

It didn't matter whether I was in school or at the church, I would hear the same message. I would be surrounded by the same kind of children, even though they themselves would not think so. And they too would tell me the exact same message.

To me, the message was clear: OBEY and KONFORM to this World System!

OBEY and KONFORM to this World System, even when you are unable to.

OBEY and KONFORM to this World System, even though it is not explained to you why.

OBEY and KONFORM to this World System, even though you know for sure that you are told lies and are being downpressed.

OBEY and KONFORM to this World System, or... face the Consequences!

In my case, I was unable to OBEY and KONFORM, even when I wanted to. I just wasn't born that way, and obviously this had something to do with the fact that my mother separated me for Jah before I was born.

So I had to face the consequences. I was unable to bow down for the God of This World Order that they called Jesus Christ and I would feel it bigtime. In my ignorance I turned to what I thought was the enemy of that god, a guy called Satan.

I was unable to see, that the "Jesus Christ" who is the god of this World Order, isn't the Divine Saviour at all! I was unable to see, that the god of this World Order was really Satan and my rebellion only brought me into a form of slavery that was even worse: demonic possession.

All of this started when I was really young, like 4 years old or even earlier than that. While the demons that possessed me "taught" me their lies and gave me their "gifts", while the System and their workers would traumatize me with a wide variety of methods, I developed a strong hate against what I thought was "God".

I was traumatized so much by the propaganda and abuse, that I couldn't stand the Bible, or even the word "Jesus". I hated the one who was responsible for creating such a system and I thought his name was "Jesus Christ".

Until JAH revealed Himself to me and everything began to make so much sense.

It started, when I heard Reggae Music for the first time. I was about 15, 16 years old and I was visiting a place. Someone played a track called "Five Nights of Bleeding", by UK based DUB Poet Linton Kwesie Johnson.

The deep rhythm of the drum and bass was so familiar to me, it was like a reunion with a long lost friend. It was the heart beat of the heart with which I knew myself to be created.

I didn't understand much of the lyrics, but I knew I found the music that I was created for. Or at least, this was how this seemed and still seems to me. The music was not created for me, but I was created for the music. The music was the same thing that kept me alive, I simply knew that.

Little by little, I began to understand the lyrics of much of the music. Linton Kwesie Johnson himself is an atheist, but there is a lot of Reggae Music that has words about the Creator, and even words from the Creator as many tunes are almost complete Bible Lyrics on a heavy drum and bassline.

I began to hear the call of JAH RASTAFARI. I found out, that JAH RASTAFARI was the CREATOR, and that HE was very much opposed to the World System. In fact, the World System is an opposition to the Creator!

The message of the Movement of Rastafari became known through Reggae Music and if there is one thing that everyone must overstand about that Movement in my opinion, it must be that Rastafari clearly identifies the god of this world order as a false Christ.

Rastafari identifies this so-called "Judeo-Christian Civilization" as nothing else but Mystery Babylon, the evil Queendom of Lucifer.

Within Reggae Music, obviously there is a lot of Babylon too. Of course! But it cannot be denied that because of the fact that the Movement of Rastafari has been so influential to Reggae Music, it is completely accepted to sing praises to the Creator wherever you go within Reggae Music.

It goes even further. Even artists who are know to sing usually about sexual themes, slackness, will have at least a few songs in their repertoire which will give praise to the Creator.

I personally know artists who boldly say in my face that they don't believe a single word about JAH and Babylon and so on, but that they will use the words just because it sounds so nice in Reggae Music.

What is that music, which will even make the atheists sing praises to JAH?

Personally, I see in this some kind of pre-fulfillment of the fact that one day Every Knee Will Bow and Every Tongue Confess.

Personally, I see in this some kind of sign that Reggae Music indeed is JAH Music, even though there are pirates and parasites who try to run away with the music and make themselves some name or thing and become millionaires...

Reggae Music has been used by the Almighty, to set me free. The power of the drum and bass, and the Name of JAH Rastafari with which the Creator introduced Himself to me, I am connected with this in my body soul and spirit and I cannot explain it in any other way than that I was -among other things of course- created to play Reggae Music.

This is why I love Reggae Music. This is why I cannot stop loving Reggae Music. For Reggae Music is my heartbeat and if I would stop loving my heartbeat I would not longer live.

I have seen many people become conscious just by listening to Reggae Music. I see them being introduced to the truth about Babylon, about JAH, through the Music. Which is another reason why I can't -and won't- stop loving Reggae Music.

And playing it. And promoting it!

But there are also people who don't love Reggae Music at all.

Without being bothered by any knowledge about Rastafari or Reggae Music, they will follow the party line and look to Rastafari as a form of Jamaican Hippie-ness and Reggae as some kind of Satanic Music just like Heavy Metal.

Self-proclaimed "pastors" like Christafari's Mark Mohr make a good living from that party line, even. From their base close to Hollywood California, they claim all kinds of things about Reggae Music which will make people buy their own form of "sanctified Reggae", the only form of Reggae allowed for "Christian Consumption".

It is a well-known fact that the CIA was very, very interested in Bob Marley and in Reggae Music in general as they feared how these Sounds of Freedom would be ringing in the ears of too many sufferers.

There are many more antichrist movements and ideology who will oppose Reggae Music in someway. The homosexual militants, for example, who don't want any critique on their not-so-gay homosexual lifestyle, are well-known to hate Reggae Music and will lobby against every Reggae Artist who dares to speak out against homosexuality.

Yes, the Party-Line of the Illuminati, the Party-Line of Babylon System, is very much against Reggae Music. When you ask them why, they will tell you exactly about the "dangers" of Reggae Music.

But I don't see any danger in these "dangers" at all!

I see no danger in Consciousness at all! I see no danger in the heavy drum and basslines at all, especially not because I know Who created me and I know I am -partly- created to play Reggae Music!

JAH Is My Bible (A Meditation)

JAH IS MY BIBLE!



A MEDITATION BY MESSIAN DREAD

WWW, September 2007 - When Jah says that mankind has changed worship of Creator into worship of creation, did He also refer to the "bible-believing" Christians?

In the first verse of the Gospel according to John we can read: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with JAH, and the Word was JAH". Reading on just a little bit more will reveal without the shadow of a doubt, that John refers to Yesus Kristos when he speaks about the "Word of Jah".

It's a deep, profound teaching that John gives there. A teaching of which the implications unfortunately have gone lost to a large portion within what is generally kown as "Christianity" For they will identify the Word of Jah as... The Bible!

People can debate without end about topics, putting scripture against scripture in attempts to "convince" their opponents. People will "expose" "false teachings" just by quoting a few Bible scriptures. People will even study the Bible in order to get themselves some name and fame and power over others!

Never mind the fact, that there is no original manuscript left. Never mind the fact, that the (per)versions contradict each other and themselves. Never mind the fact, that the canon itself isn't even mentioned in the Bible and nobody can really explain just why "the Bible" is "right".

People who criticize "Christianity" will often refer to the fact that with a little bit of intelligence, you can make the Bible say just about anything you want the Bible to say. And it's true, especially when you realize that there are countless of (per)versions that will help everyone to read what they want to read.

But even if we would have the original scrolls, it would not better. The apostle Petrus wrote, that people were twisting the writings of Paulus as well as the other scriptures, and he was referring to the original manuscripts there.

We are give a wonderful example within this very same scripture. We all know about the Pharisees, how they knew their Bibles inside-out and how they loved to use that knowledge to get power over other people. How they even fooled themselves!

When Yesus faced the Pharisees, he told them: "You study the scriptures because you think there is eternal life in there, and you don't recognize Me and don't want to come to Me" (John 5:38 ).

We see this very same mentality within what is commonly known as Christianity. It can be recognized in the phrase: "The Word Of God says...", followed by some quote. A quote from a (per)version, that is. For the original manuscripts are lost.

We see, how many try to put Jah in a book, subsequently study that book, and somehow think that this the key to eternal life, the key to God, yes... God!

We see, that when John writes how the Word is Jah and became flesh, many will de facto believe that this is about the Bible rather than about Yesus Kristos Himself.

Now, why is that?

Why do people need a book, even if it is a translation or (per)version of a manuscript, of which the originals have long been lost? Why do people... need something in this creation and treat it as if this is God Himself?

Indeed.

Asking the question, is answering it.

Oh yes, we all know about the critique from the "bible-believing Christians" about the believe of many of my Rasta brothers and sisters that the Ethiopian Emperor is JAH. But they themselves believe in a book and call it the Word of Jah, Which we know is JAH Himself!

So why do people need that book? Why do people use that book as their Gateway to God? Yes: as God?

Obviously, it has everything to do that we are -in our natural state- unable to reach Jah. Since the fall, we are cut from direct contact with our Creator and all we had left was our place within Creation.

Still, the Creator maintains His Creation. He reveals Himself through Creation too. Jah even steps in His Creation and shows Himself to us many times.

He does so, through the Bible and through the Ethiopian emperor. He does so, by revealing Himself all over creation!

In the last verse of the gospel according to John, the apostle states that Yesus did so many things that if they would all have to be described, the world itself could not contain the books.

So we know, yes, the Creator has really done a lot of things to reveal Himself. But as soon as Jah reveals Himself, a particular law of nature comes into action.

It is the law of decay, that came into place when Adam and Eve ate from the fruit and became initiated in the mystery of iniquity. It is the law that dictates, how nothing in this creation is eternal. How nothing in this creation can last forever. How nothing in this creation is perfect.

It is, if you will: the law of sin.

It is, if you will: to have the knowledge of good and evil, which means nothing else than to have only a partial knowledge of good rather to have something on top of "knowledge of good". (SEE: "TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL")

Our partial (dis)ability to "see good", which obviously means nothing else but to "see JAH", requires us to initially be confronted with some thing in creation which will refer us to the Creator Himself, Yesus Kristos!

We need something in this creation to show us The Way.

We need a witness.

We need a tangible witness.

We need a tangible witness in this creation in order to find the Way to the Creator. And as a matter of fact, we have a multitude of witnesses around us. From the Bible to the Ethiopian Emperor, from Spirit People to -in fact- the whole of Creation itself.

And this is exactly where many, many people stop. They hear the voice of the Creator clearly through the mouths of His many witnesses. Tangible, audible, visible, you name it. There is no speech or language where His voice is not heard!

Creation itself is a witness. Creation itself is a messenger.

But in some sick variation on the theme, many people are tricked and believe that the messenger is in fact the sender. Many people are tricked into believing, how creation is in fact the Creator.

The mere fact that we need something in this creation to point us out to the Creator, has been transformed by the forces of evil into the very worship of that creation itself!

Our partial disability to see Jah, to "know good", makes us worship that which we do see as if it is JAH!

It makes us worship creation rather than the Creator, even if that creation itself is conscious witness of the Creator and points out to the fact that it is only a witness.

For example: The Bible.

For example: The Ethiopian Emperor

But none of these witnesses are perfect, none of these witnesses in themselves are able to bring us in contact with the Creator.

None of these witnesses ARE Jah!

They can only... show us the Way!

So, then, what is that Way?

Obviously, here we have another question which has the Answer contained in itself. Obviously, there can not be a Way to the Creator if this Way is not the Creator Himself.

Obviously, that Way is Yesus Kristos, JAH manifested in the Flesh.

HE is perfect. HE is without sin. Whether you know it or not, Yesus Kristos is (the Way to) JAH. Whether you know it or not, you can only be in contact with your Creator though (the Door, that Door Which is) the Creator Himself!

Let us therefore know, that we live in a fallen creation. We need a witness, Jah uses witness to speak through, but a witness is a witness.

The Bible is such a witness. It's an imperfect witness, and can also be used to teach false doctrines. It can be used, to manipulate people and is used by Babylon System as the ultimate propaganda tool in what is called the "Judeo-Christian Civilization".

The Bible points out to Yesus Kristos, quite specific. The Bible says of itself, that there is no eternal life in it. The Bible witnesses of itself, that it contains only a description of an aspect of what Yesus Kristos really is doing.

It's not the Bible, that teaches me anything. It's not the Bible, that saved me. It's not the Bible that dictates what is true or not. This is all reserved for the Word of God Himself, and:

The Bible... is not the Word of God!

Yesus Kristos is the Word Of God!

This simple truth opens up the whole Bible, all of a sudden.

When you read stuff like: "Your Word Is A Lamp For My Foot", this really means "Yesus Is The Light".

When you read stuff like: "The Word Of God Is A Two-Edged Sword", and "The Sword Of The Spirit Is The Word Of God", this really means that "Yesus is a two-edged Sword", that "Yesus is the Sword of the Spirit".

Yes, some people really claim that the Sword of the Spirit is the bible. They claim that the Bible is a two-edged sword and a light for our foot. They really think that the devil is afraid for a few Bible Scriptures and that reading the Bible will give us eternal life.

Therefore, when you would use the words "Word of God" and "Bible" interchangeably, I would say that my Bible is JAH.

It is JAH, Who teaches me. He teaches me through the Bible, through creation, through revelation and experience. It is JAH, Yesus Kristos, Who is my Weapon. It is JAH, Yesus Kristos, Who is the Lamp for my foot. It is JAH, Yesus Kristos, Whose teachings are written in my heart.

Sela.
