Book Description
Hath . . . The Lion Prevailed? uses the Bible as the main influence. The book shows the world that Haile Selassie I is Jesus Christ returned in his kingly and conquering form. It shows that Jesus conquered death, and for those who follow him will never die. It shows the cross as a symbol of death as it was before Jesus’ time, during His time, and as it still is today: a symbol of death, a graven image of silver, gold, wood, and stone. Hath . . . The Lion Prevailed? is a book that will reveal to anyone why the Rastafarians see Haile Selassie I as the Creator of the Universe.
