A few months ago now, I ordered your book "Ethiopia: The Classic Case" and asked you some questions, and you answered me. Given that, by the Grace of God, you are someone very knowledgeable, I'm curious to know your replies to other questions. I'm a searcher. I searched, I search, and I will search. With the words of His Majesty Q.H.S. : "Education and the quest for knowledge stops only at the grave."

1. I noted that you always stress that your Church, according to you the indigenous Church of Ethiopia, is not, or should not call itself: "Orthodox Tewah'do", but is, or should call itself only:"Tewah'do". To you, even though the greek word "Orthodox" means "right 'doctrine and worship'", it is not correct to be used to designate the Ethiopian Church for some reasons. But as Nibure-Id knows it very well, this word, "Orthodox", was part of the appellation of the Ethiopian Church from very long time, and in the time you have been anointed Nibure-Id it seems to me that the official appellation of the house of the priesthood was known as: "Ye Itiyopiya Ortodoks Tewahido Bete Krestiyan". In addition, until the way to its autocephaly, it seems to me that all bishops in Ethiopia were Egyptians, and the patriarch too, being the same patriarch of the Coptic Church. By saying all this, what I mean is that the simple mind is not able to identify your Church because you systematically suggest that this last is not Orthodox, and refrain from anything Coptic that would have positively influenced the Ethiopian. The way you write in the Q/A just gives this impression that in Ethiopia there were maybe two houses of priesthood co-existing on the same soil, and being in competition with each other. But when I ask to any Habesha if he/she knows about the Ethiopian Tewah'do Church, but not the Ethiopian ORTHODOX Tewah'do Church, their answer is always the same: They never heard about it. Please, Can you clarify it for me (and for others if you post this in the Q/A)? I myself am confused and am not even sure if I correctly understood where you stand.

2. I see that you mention St. Maryam, the Mother of the Incarnate Word, as being a "divine" Sovereign. What do you mean by "divine"? Do you mean St. Maryam does have divinity as own to Her nature? Or Does the word "divine" denote another sense here than a deity? I don't think you believe St. Maryam is part of the Godhead but explain me.

3. Have you already seen this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syw-Z6aH5tc? Prince Ermias Sahle Sellassie on the subject of the Lion of Judah. I'm curious to know your feelings on this video.

4. In your book "Ethiopia: The Classic Case", you say that king Solomon met the queen Makeda and consequently a son called Bayna Lekhem is born of her, a son who is best known as Q'damawi Menelik, the first Ethiopian Solomonic sovereign. I believe in this. And you also say that prior to the birth of Jesus, succession to the throne was 'collaterally determined by the merit of physical descent from the seed of king Solomon and queen Makeda', but not after Christ. But if the throne of David and the Holy Tabot was in Ethiopia even since the earthly time of Solomon son of David, if as you say in your book: "all what was for Israel was transferred to Ethiopia and all the divine blessings that were for the Israelites were bestowed upon the Ethiopians" is real, and I believe this to be real, Why king David in Psalm 89 has prophesied:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2089%20:%2038-49&version=KJV? It seems to me he prophesied about the fall of his house/family who were in Jerusalem (*the line that succeeded Rehoboam, his grandson, son of his son Solomon). The final execution of this fall occured under king Zedekiah, but even since the time of Rehoboam he (Rehoboam) was not anymore king of Israel (the 12 tribes), but only king over two tribes. Now here is what I don't understand: If, during the time of Solomon, Israelites from among the 12 tribes, including the eldest of the High Priest Zadok: Azariah, went to Ethiopia with Menelik and the Tabot Tsiyon, Why did David say the words he said in the passage I put in link? Ethiopian history shows us that the Solomonic dynasty never really stopped to reign, rather there were interruptions, sometimes short sometimes longer, but the dynasty always came back in power. In the days of the Derg, and still today, monarchy is said to have been officially abolished, but Who knows in the future? In brief, I would like to know basically what David meant in this passage in link. And also I would like to know what he meant in this same Psalm 89 when he said: "...Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations... vs.4 His seed.. will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven... vs.29 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven... vs.36-37" Psalm 89 KJV. If you have an idea, it's very welcome. If not, don't worry, we cannot know everything.

Thank you for your recent email.

Here are the answers to your questions:-
1. It is not the literal translation of the word "orthodox" that is significant here and the focus exposed in the present context. Had it been so, it would have been adequate to state this fact in a simple way such as just by using the corresponding Ge'ez term, "???? (r't'i't)" that is often mentioned whenever and wherever found appropriate, substituting the former.
The core issue here is not that aspect of the subject -matter, but the sinister connotation that this appellation was originally meant to imply or convey, as explained thoroughly in the publications you cited, which is: "If possible, to destroy Ethiopia of The Holy Covenant and all that is pertinent to Her national existence that preceded way back to that of the perpetrators; if that is not possible, which proved to be so, to pretend and show the exercise of power of domination over and above the former."
Now, at the end of time, it is believed by True Children of Ethiopia
that The Holy Spirit has willed it to rectifiy, through their faithful devotion as servants of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, every human wrong and perversion done on what is the Divine concerning Ethiopia that was instigated first, 3000 years ago by the Jews and then 1600 years ago by the Copts and which still continues to prevail to this day, to the detriment of all that is Ethiopian.
I hope you are able to recognize the reality of what is being positively undertaken presently by those few True Ethiopians committed to The Holy Covenant in this regard to be a recurrence of all that was carried out by Jesus Christ and His Disciples. I do not imagine for any reasonable person, let alone a faithful believer, to condone with such noxious actions of the perpetrators to be maintained as a status quo.
Based on your own statement, it may be easy for you and for any sensible person, to realize the extent of the severe apparent damage already done by such age-long campaign of smear, brainwash and indoctrination by the foreign and domestic instigators carried out on the submissive Ethiopian generations in uninterrupted successions including the present. Please be informed that THIS IS A TIMELY REVELATION AND GOOD TIDING INSPIRED AND GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO BE PROCLAIMED TO ETHIOPIANS AND TO THE WHOLE HUMANITY.
No wonder that Jesus Christ spoke of the present time and situation in the following terms: "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matt. 24: 37-39)
According to the faith of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God of The
Holy Covenant, from time immemorial, in both domains of the mainland Ethiopia or in the recent diaspora, there is always only one House of the Priesthood (BETE-K'H'NET), whether it is called Ethiopian Church, Ethiopian Tewah'do Church, or Ethiopian Orthodox Tewah'do Church, and not two, just in the same patterns that apply to the other two constituents, meaning, the House of the People and the House of the Government.
In all aspects of our current dealings and actions with regard to the
foregoing, while the present hierarchy of the Ethiopian Church, i.e., the clergy and the laity, preferred to behave and take the evil stance of the the Jewry of Jesus's time, we, on our part, simply continue to maintain and keep track of the whole original and genuine faith and deed that Jesus Christ and His Disciples followed, enhanced and consolidated: The Incarnate God Jesus Christ was conceived and born of The Ethiopian Virgin Mary, grew, learned, taught, debated, acted, witnessed, suffered, crucified and finally died within and for the eternal and complete salvation of THIS SAME One Church that is the integral part of His Kingdom. He neither abandoned her and established another new one nor gave a hint even by implication to have done so.
The same applies in our present case. Ourselves, inheritors and
custodians of the SAME Divine Entity and immersed in the atoned life of THE ETHIOPIAN, we continue to bear witness in the same inspiration and guidance of The Holy Spirit to the whole world about The Divine Truth of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in The Holy Covenant until the latter is revealed to and recognized by the former.
2. Didn't you realize that each and every human-being is inherently
DIVINE because of his/her original creation in THE IMAGE OF GOD, let alone THE MOTHER OF GOD? It was always failure on the part of the large majority of humans to make the GOOD CHOICE to live upto that supreme status of their God-given priviledge which deprived them of THAT DIVINITY, while only The Ethiopian Virgin Mary from amongst women retained IT.
In accordance with the faith of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God of The Holy Covenant, while Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of Scriptures that says "The WORD BECAME FLESH", thus becoming The Incarnate God, it is The Virgin Mary that is the fulfilmment of Scriptures that says "THE HUMAN BECAME GOD", thus becoming The Divine Human. (Gen. 3: 22; Jn. 1: 14)
In the Ethiopian context of our Faith, you cannot conceive of or relate about or portray The One without The Other: The Mother, The Virgin Mary without Her Son, Jesus Christ. You cannot make an image or a representation of The One alone without The Other: That is, even for the Sacred Icon to be acceptable, The Mother and The Son aught to be always portrayed together, The Latter being embraced by The Former, designated as "M'sle F'qur Welda" meaning, "The Mother With Her Beloved Child." Devoid of The One, The Other is non-existent. Both are present, when The Name of Either One is mentioned. Hence, when the Name of The One is mentioned, not only is The Name of The Other is deemed to be mentioned but The Person and Nature of The Other are also deemed to be present. To sum up the Divine Truth of this phenomenon: In the Person and Nature of The Holy Mother, The Son exists; and in the Person and Nature of Jesus Christ, The Virgin Mary exists.
The other Divine Mystery revealed in such interrelated Incarnation is the Divine Truth signified, on the one hand, by the primal procreation of Eve from Adam at the beginning of time, and, on the other, by the birth of the Second Adam who is The Incarnate God Jesus Christ from the Second Eve, The Virgin Mary, at the final end of time: A same process took place, but in reverse, atoning and making justice for the prejudice that was done and prevailed for milleniums on the feminine by the masculine. (Gen. 1: 26-27; 2: 21-22; 3: 22. Jn. 1: 1-14.)
Even viewing it from the perspective of the human way of life, whom do you think is greater: the mother or her son? Of course, it is the former. So, you see! God preferred the human and the earthly norm to prevail rather than the divine and the heavenly. Yes, accordingly, while The Incarnate God The Son Jesus Christ, in His pre-existent Divinity, remains senior and greater than The Human God Mother The Virgin Mary, The Latter, as a result of Her Deserved Consummate Status of Human Motherhood for The Divine, retains Her seniority and greatness over and above the Incarnate God Head, thus bringing about the justified equilibrium of not merely of the two opposing genders of the male and the female beings, but also of the alienated Statuses of the Divine and the Human.
3. I have seen the video whose link you provided me with and in which
Prince Ermias Sahle Sellassie made a presentation on the subject of the Lion of Judah. Though the presentation, from the historical perspective, looks somewhat worthwhile, it falls short of details that relate to the Scriptural and Spiritual significances whose proper expositions are dealt with in my book, Ethiopia: The Classic Case concerning the same subject matter. The Prince seems to be focussed on and obssessed by the RasTafarian concepts and interpretations of the issue with no single reference made to the relevant Divine Truths expounded in the aforementioned publication. As such and since the presentation does not go in line with The Divine Truth of The Faith of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God of The Holy Covenant, the contents of the video are not wholly considered to be acceptable on our part.
4. The words said by David in the passage (Ps. 89: 38-49) simply
relate, on the one hand, to the actual events that took place in his lifetime in Jerusalem, bringing to fulfilment the Prophecy of the fall of his house there and then in the israelite's context. On the other hand, the transfer of David's Covenantal Seed through Menelik I together with that of the Ark of the Covenant and the Elected group from the 12 tribes to Ethiopia and the Ethiopians signify the prophetic end of God's Covenant with the Israelites and the perpetuation of the prophecy of the Holy Covenant in the the more favoured Ethiopian context until the Advent of The Ethiopian Virgin Mary and Her Son The Incarnate God Jesus Christ.
The rest of the verses of the chapter 89 such as those in vs 4 and
29 speak only of Jesus Christ and His Faithful Heirs, The True Ethiopians of The Holy Covenant: Yes, all the Elects who succeeded and served Him as Atsies upto the late Haile-Sellassie I. This is in accordance with the Gospel of John that reads: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
This verse proves beyond any doubt the annulment of the
Old Testament legitimacy of the inheritance to the Divine Throne of the Ethiopian Makkedda and that of David by carnal decent or birth of the Atsies and the substitution of the Spiritual birth from God which came in effect after the innauguration of the New Holy Order by Jesus Christ.

Finally, I am wondering why you needed to continue searching. Of
course, it is good for one to search, but for how long? It seems to me that the human search for THE ULTIMATE DIVINE TRUTH is completed and attained by the fulfillment of the Prophecies through the Eternal Figures of Incarnation: The Human Mother Virgin Mary and The Son God Jesus Christ. What remains for human beings to do is to live THE LIFE offered by The Latter as described in the foregoing.

Trusting the unwavering inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit continues to prevail upon all those faithful,

N'bure-Id Ermias Kebede Wolde-Yesus,
Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God

I beg you to understand that even in my pained and confused "dasessa and meddenaber" of the spirtually blind, in no way was I suggesting that you were angry with me for financial reasons. NO. I was not trying to say that you wanted me to buy your books.. I know very well that you are not a person who cares about money or the sale of your books. It was also wrong of me to describe my personal situation to you related to money as this is not the basis of our discussion.

What I was trying to say was that I found your response very strong and painful and speculated that maybe you were angry because I was asking these ignorant questions. I was thinking you were angry with me for not doing more to improve my spiritual knowledge and strength and that for this reason your were rebuking me for being a lazy student. A student who had not made the effort to know more by buying your books and reading them. That was what I meant.
In any case, please know that someone in Finland who is helping me to learn more and read more..a young man who could well be my son, has kindly offered to send me his copies of your books. So, although deeply grateful for your offer, I have made arrangements to receive those books shortly. If you have a spare or used copy of the main and most important book that you think I must read urgently, please do send it to me via my address I provided you herein.

Thank you very much for your generoisty, Igziabeher Yisttling; I appreaciate that. This is a strain for you too, and if you find it difficult, I will just wait for my friend from Finland to find someone to bring me the books. He has them all. You can just suggest to me which one I must read first. That will be quite enough for me.

You are absolutely right that it is not right for you to spend time in correspondence with me. While I appreaciate and have confessed to you the fledging and vulnerable nature of my spiritual growth and wellbeing... it is flabbergasting that you suggest my condition along with others is not new to you and that people like me woudl go as far as those who proceeded to organizing cruxifiction and behading. You say that when the truth is revealed to people they react in only one of two possible ways. You see, this is the arrogance i was talking about. This is a very paindful thing for me to read. Sir, I wish you no harm at all. Perhaps you can reconsider that there may be others who DO NOT react in one of two ways. Please know that I am very happy to find you. I looked for you. I wrote to you. It would never cross my mind to harm you or wish you harm. How can I reject a message or messenger/teacher I was looking for? This is waht I have been asking myself.

I realize you are doing what you must but the way your are delivering the message is too powerful for me. that is all. I am sure when I learn more and am stronger, I will be able to absorb the bluntness of your delivery and see the truth that you see. Pleaee known that I have no doubt I am a daughter of God but the elementary knowledge that you presume I have is not there!! I look forward to being the Ethiopian that you know it is possible to be. When you said, As an Ethiopian, you should have known by now the elementary Divine Truth that Our Omnipotent Benevolent God has bestowed upon all individual human beings not only the capacity to know Him and His Intentions, but also the privilege to be like Him. I did not know this was possible.

All my life I have believed, (mistakenly then) that it is wrong and sinful to presume to know what God is intending. Of course, through the suffering crucifiction and ressurrection of our Lord MedhaneAlem and ONLY through Him do I believe can I stand before the Creator but if you have the path for this Godliness in your books I will read them and find it. In the meantime I will continue to read my Bible and pray for the correct heart and spirit to reach the enlghtenment and repentance that you are recommending for me urgently. God knows I am tired of being blind and bumping into painful sitiuations like this misundersatnding constantly and also tired of asking for help to see things correctly.

Thank you very much. Please forgive me for everything in this email which I am sending in a rush and straight off the top of my head and from my heart, and if I have hurt, offended or annoyed you with my long and long winded emails. I am going now to read and study Matt. 3/2 & 4/17.

I now write to show you the realisations I have received through repentance, prayer and the Holy Spirit. I would also like to share things that have started happen in my life after/ because of our meeting. Sorry to take your time but I feel it is good to share the changes happening in my life in a personal and truthful letter because I want you share my joy in the changes and see in detail the impact of the spiritual service you have kindly given to me, by Gods grace and mercy. I thank God for giving His guidance to help us meet and for giving you the patience not to abandon me. I also thank God for everything which happened between us (although I am very sorry for how badly I behaved towards you). My offer of thanks is deserving because everything that happened has helped me to see what I am and who I am before helping me understand what I can become.

THE PAST: CONFESSION ABOUT OUR EMAIL ENCOUNTER AND THE RESULTING CONCLUSION.

Sir, I now realise I am not blind at all. In fact God made me PERFECTLY. It was vanity and LOVE OF SIN that made me not want to take off dark glasses which hide them. Your email was a good and necessary thing that was so painful to me because I was stubbornly refusing to take off the glasses and SEE my sinfulness and REPENT. My own vanity and love of self, my own desire not to repent was disguised as humility and a disability that I DID NOT HAVE. How horrible was I, how devious,, Igzio!...I prayed to God to destroy that statue I have built of myself.

I am sorry I approached you under such false circumstances..Please know I did not mean to lie to you..I did not even know until recently I WAS LYING to myself!! I hope you will forgive me..I am repenting and pray God forgives me..I hope I will also forgive myself because right now I feel very sad about my behaviour.. All that anger I was directing at you claiming too be a victim is all part of this false drama..In fact I was resisting your call for repentance. I am very sorry. I did not even realize what I was doing or why, I really felt I was a victim and just realized what was really going on. Please forgive me and let us put all this in the past. Thank you.

THE PRESENT: REBUILDING THE RIGHT FAITH THROUGH REPENTANCE

Dear Sir, I would like to tell you that my life and way of thinking is changing everyday since that Divinely Ordained telephone conversation, followed by our email exchange and in particular.. getting this life changing email you sent me below. I wonder how it will be after I read the book. I will always read and reread it. It is the most important thing anyone has ever given me in my ENTIRE LIFE. I am looking forward to the freedom from pain... confusion... doubt..and loss.. always feeling incomplete like something is missing...something not quite right. When I called you I KNEW I was headed to hell. When I called you it was at the right God appointed moment. I have a friend who says God don't always come when we call Him, BUT HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME. That is how it was...But still a long way to go.. a never ending journey..and struggle until death.

Now..everyday..I am treading this earth much more carefully..always
wondering who I have hurt knowing and unknowing always conscious of my constant sinfulness, always seeking repentance as you told me about in your email below, EVEN SINS IN MY MIND AND HEART LIKE MY INCREDIBLE VANITY. THAT HAS BEEN HIDING IN MY HEART DRESSED UP AS HUMILITY. It never occurred to me how CONSTANT my sinful nature is and how constantly I must be repenting.

Thank you for teaching me this. Thank you very very much. I am so ashamed...I am so sad when I think of the past including how I must have hurt you with my words. Please forgive me again and again. I don't know how someone I wanted to be close to me, someone I wanted to love and respect I ended up treating so badly. So this is how I am... GOD FORGIVE ME.

It is amazing for me to even be thinking such things let alone writing them. They are very personal and hard to describe. But I wanted to share them with you because it is you who got me to begin this journey. The journey continues with the book. I hope to write you of the progress or defeat (which I may confuse one for the other), but I hope you will continue to be able to help me tell the difference between God's TRUTH and my self-made drama as you have done before. Please pray for me and my continued spiritual growth strength and enlightenment. I will write when I finish the book God willing.

MANY THANKS..AGAIN... for showing me myself. And thank you for your letters and the book you sent me which will teach me what I can and MUST be. May God permit Amen! My prayers for your health, your families health and well being especially your good wife who also shared with me some of her light/knowledge which I have shared with others. Thank you both and God bless you both and all the family.

N'bure-Id Ermias Kebbede Welde-Yesus,
Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God.

I did not manage to write before. but in short, let me say there was a lot of cleaning up and diciplinanry work that had to go hand in hand with reading your book, even a prerequisite. So many things were just plain dirty. It felt correct to clean up everything first, inside and out... I had first also to open my Dawit..and pray before I opened your book. I was compelled.

Things are going well. Igziabeher Yimesgen. I am still reading your book and will get in touch again once I have finished. It seems almost as if talking is unecessary. I feel you already know of the miracles that are happening in my life. Hopefully, I have faith your heart is telling you because I certainly cannnot put it into words. I can say nothing more than IGZIABEHER YIMESGEN!!! There are no words to describe it but that: "Misgana new Wagaw!". Le Irsom Lebaletewom ye kebere..birtoo selamtayen akerbalew. Laderregachihoolign hulloo: Igziabeher Yikfelach'hoo!

Although still gripped by matters of this world..slowly but surely I know I will soon be free. It is like a fish who is swimming from the bottom of the dark ocean up to the light. Things which I used to like to not appeal to me any more. Oh.. that is another part of the progress, my friends are changing..the quality of my life and relationships is changing..

Please forgive me if there is delay in replying to you of my progress more regularly; it is just overwhelming. EVERYTHING IS CHANGING. Proabably this email does not even make sense, but "Everyday is like a new day!! Challenging but ...Temesgen....I AM SOOOOO HAPPY!!!"

That is my progress report and Thank you very much Sir!! AMEN.

Dear Z-A:

It was with great relief and delight that my wife and myself received your "belated" email after so long a hiatus. Even though we always remember you in our daily prayers with yours and that of your son's Baptismal Names being mentioned, as a result of which we were confident that the Grace of The Holy Spirit will be you, we nevertheless remained at a loss to know how you were faring in life.
It is even more invigorating and inspiring to learn from your email that you are exalted to the status of attainment of The Divine Truth and Knowledge, to put it in your own words, that showed you the path that led you to return to your rightful place which happened to be your birthright privilege of being an Ethiopian.
For This Ultimate Blessings of Our God of The Holy Covenant, we joined you in thanking HIM along with Our Holy Mother of God, The Virgin Mary.
As you stated, you cannot and you need not have to explain to me in human terms how you would feel by now within youself since I fully understand from the same sensation that I had experienced.

Again thank you for letting us know your progress in the realization of WHO YOU ARE.
Trusting that you will continue in the progress of your development and assuring you of our prayers for the everlasting enhancement of your wellbeing,

N'bure-Id Ermias Kebede Welde-Yesus,
Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God

ETHIOPIAN SPIRITUAL PREPARATION ALWAYS LEADS TO VICTORY!!

ITYOPYAN ATINKOO TIKATTELALACH'HOO!!

MY FELLOW ETHIOPIANS! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

Sir, Please know that my spiritual knowledge is still as a sapling...inchich..But like the time under Fasscist Italia occupation the time now under this Woyane occupation DOES NOT FEEL like anything less than bondage, slavery and colonisation. What do you say to that? Are these dreadful 40 or so years all part of the YE MIHRET KITTAT that you mentioned before? What is the right word to use for the ups and downs our people continue to suffer including myself?????? Please let me know more how I should see these terrible times when you have time.

The term "Liberation", just like that of "Independence", could not be applicable in this context to the case of Faithful Ethiopians of The Holy Covenant.

There is no such imposition labelled as "Fascist Italian or Woyane occupation, bondage, slavery or colonization" that relate to or maintain any exertion on True Ethiopia and Ethiopians of The Holy Covenant who enjoy a perfect and eternal life in the Faith of the Domain of The Kingdom of God, as explained in my earlier response.

The aforementioned designations are assigned only to those (so-called Ethiopians as well as aliens) who denied The Holy Covenant that God made with humanity in general and with Ethiopians in particular. The sufferings that inflicted and continue to inflict both the former and the latter in the past and at present are invariably at worst devastating chastisements and at best "YeM'hret Q'Tatoch".

Quoting from you, "The right word to use for the ups and downs our people continue to suffer including myself??????" is IMPENITENCE. If you would allow me to elaborate the significance and relevance of the word to the case in question, here it is: HUMAN INTRANSIGENCE (THAT INCLUDES THE CONTEMPORARY ETHIOPIAN GENERATION) TO HEED TO GOD'S CONTINUOUS CALL FOR REPENTANCE. And this Merciful Divine Call still remains unheeded by humans in general and by Ethiopian generations in particular for more than two milleniums and three years to the present.

You will realize the effectiveness of this TRUTH if and when you yourself, in your individual personal capacity, either decide to continue to remain defiant to the Divine Call or, discarding any ambivalence that may loom within yourself, to react positively to the same by utilizing just for an instant your God-given inherent willpower.

Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God

I have recently come across your website, and I feel as if I was guided there by the Holy Spirit; the ideas and truths contained therein have spoken to my heart and soul like a warm breeze in the midst our cold Alaskan autumn!
I am an Indigenous Alaska Native from the Tlingit, Aleut, and Ahtna Tribes and I have recently come out of the Russian Orthodox Church. I left the Russian Church for many of the reasons you left the "Orthodox" church in Ethiopia. The Russian Orthodox Church had always been a colonial church, brought here during the period of Russian colonialism and imperialism in Alaska, and forced upon my ancestors as part of the colonial project. American Protestantism was also brought here and forced upon our people as a part of American colonial aggression as well.
As an Indigenous Man who has always known that Yesus Kristos is the "repairer of the breach" between Man and God, I have searched and searched, in vain for an indigenous expression of my Faith…until now.
From the time of my youth, I have been a spiritual pilgrim, passing through the Rastafarian movement (Twelve Tribes organization), my own Alaska Native tribal religions, and the Russian Orthodox Church, but I have always felt that something was missing.
I have done extensive studying and research into both the Holy Scriptures and other writings like the Kebra Negast (I hope, being able to separate the wheat from the chaff in this), and I always knew there was something special about Ethiopia. The Hebraic elements in the True Tewah'do Faith that exist nowhere else on earth, the presence of God's Holy Ark, and existence of the Solomonic and Israelite bloodlines are all huge clues to the truth that Ethiopia is the True Holy land (and People!). Part of my mother's family are "Jews" from Eastern Europe, so I have always been receptive to the Hebraic aspects of any spiritual reality.
I will be ordering Ethiopia: The Classic Case in the next few days, and I have read almost all of the Q&A sections of your website…I have been knocked to the ground like Paul on his way to Damascus! The Truths you point out have turned my entire spiritual reality upside down and have shaken me to the core…
In many ways, your ideas are similar to those of the Russian Old Believers who left the institutional church when it became a puppet of the Greeks in the 17th century; the major difference being that the Russian Old Believers do not have the crucial understanding that Ethiopia and the Ethiopians are the True Source of Faith in Yesus Kristos that extends back to Adam!
I do not read Amharic or Ge'ez, but I would like to continue studying; prayer is very important to me, and I would like to continue my prayer life. Are there any materials in English that could help me learn more about True Tewah'do prayer and teachings?
After reading about the reality of Ham, Shem, and Japheth on your website, I feel completely confident saying and believing that I am also an Ethiopian…what an honor and a privilege!

7. How I who live on an island, in the archipelago of Mascareignes ( Mascaregnas ), to the east of Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean, among a people immersed into the religious confusion ( Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, African animist beliefs ), I can learn and educate me in true Ethiopianism, and participate in the sacraments of the Church ? Where do I have to go ?

I found your book very educational and enlightening about biblical Ethiopia, which is a treasure in the hands of God. Thank you. Do not feel yourself hurried because of me, but answer me when you have a time ...

Wish you in prayer all the best, especially the inspiration and guidance of the all-pervasive, omni-potent and omni-present Holy Spirit.
