Greetings Brethren and Sistren,
what is to behold is the nose in this picture, that has nothing to do with His Majesty's. Compare an half-face picture of HIM with this one and you will easely see the difference.
Of course Haile Selassie I lives and reigns, and cannot die, but He is a King, not a Monk. Infact He is the "King of kings", not the "Monk of monks". His Ministy is the Throne and the Scepter.
He, as Melchisedek (Book of Genesis) does, is Pries and King, the Alpha and the Omega, the two opposite.
When He came for the first Time, in Palestine, His Name was Jesus, He was the Messiah, the Christ, Annointed One. He was the Lamb Isaiah spoke about, and the High Priest of the Order of Melkisedek the Psalm spoke about, and the Stone the Builder refuse, Who became the Head Cornerstone. So, at the first Time, He came bowing to the authorities and to the wickendesses, fulfilling His First Mission as Priest,being annointed with the priestly oil of the Spirit, the Priest Who sacrificed Him Self, shed His Blood, and purified us; He has been rejected as the Stone, and Sacrificed as the Lamb. And only He could be the Most High Priest, because He alone was able to wipe away our sin, and not the leviticaaronitic priesthood; in this way, He came and broke the old priestly law, fulfilling it, as He said "I came not to abolish , but to fulfill the Law", giving us spiritual justice. He is Melkisedek, as Priest, with the Name of Iyesus Krstos.
Then, He had to be King, still being Priest (Psalm says "Thous shall be High Priest in the Order of Melkisedek, FOR EVER") so He is still our High Priest, but His Priestly Ministry, the One in which He had to suffer as the Lamb, the Stone thrown out of the city, hanging on the Cross, is up. What we can see now is no more the suffering Man, but that Same Man,triumphing, returned in Majesty and Glory, annointed with the Kingly Oil. With a New Name, as the Book of Revelation clearly says: and the New Name is Tafari Makonnen. In this way He breaks the old juridical law, to assure us material and spiritual justice, as any other sovreigns could not do (the same of the Priesthood: He forgave our sins, as any other priest or lamb could not do).
Melkisedek could not be only Priest, so, now He is King Melkisedek. Now the Alpha and the Omega sussist in Him -Who fulfills all-, as the two opposite of Priesthood and Kingship, in His only Person and Flesh: Melkisedek, Priest and King. His Legacy , what our very eyes do witness, is as King, as Man in the world -yet not OF the world-.
His Body, since He did not ascend to Heaven, is among us; He could be on the moon, or on the sun, or on a star, walking on the sea ,or whatever, He Lives; the thing is: He is King.
However, if one did not want to hear all these thing above, just look at the nose: completely different.
