Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Lion of Judah as Jah (the Rastafari name for God, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalms 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible), and part of the Holy Trinity. The name Rastafari comes from Ras Täfäri, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I. The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class and peasant black people in the early 1930s, arising from an interpretation of Biblical prophecy, black social and political aspirations, and the teachings of their prophet, Jamaican black publicist and organiser Marcus Garvey, whose political and cultural vision helped inspire a new world view. The movement is sometimes called "Rastafarianism"; however, this is considered improper and offensive by Rastas.

Christ started the entire charistian religous adventure. Would it be fair to say the Christianity is a religion and a race. A race that is poulated by blood descendants of jesus? Unlikely.\n\nOr, the first jew was Abraham who took the commandment from God outside of the cty of Ur, check out the old testament for this. Before that Abraqham was not a Jew, just like Christ was Jewish befor he converted to Christianity by his death by some charistians account. Therefore the only true members of the Jewish race would be blood descendants of Abraham. Again not a likely defintion or race event.\n\nBut to be precise here is the definition of race(noun)\na group of persons related by common descent or heredity.  \n2. a population so related.  \n3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.  \nb. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.  \nc. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.  \n \n4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.  \n6. the human race or family; humankind: Nuclear weapons pose a threat to the race.  \n7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies.  \n8. a natural kind of living creature: the race of fishes.  \n9. any group, class, or kind, esp. of persons: Journalists are an interesting race.  \n\nThe only definitions for race that come close are"\n 4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race\n\nJews may or may not have developed from a common tribe or ethnic stock. If you believe they did, the 12 tribes of Israel...then Yes Jews are a race.\n\nIf you believe that jews are united by a common history...you are making a wek argumenbt as Jews can be found in many countries and cultures are are unrelated by a common history, language or culture.\n\nNo...jews only have a religion in common. They are a very diverse froup of individuals spread arounfd the world living within cultures and speaking diverse languages so they are not tryuly a race as such.

Is seen by many blacks, particularly Rastafarian's as a deity.  He was one of the first black rulers of Africa in the 20th century.  He is seen as taking back his country from European domination (Italy).  A brave and educated man who truly loved his country and people.  He fought side by side with them to obtain his country's freedom and was recognized as royalty by European and African powers of the day (1920's - to his death in the 1960's or 70's).

The Assyrians exiled 10 of the original 12 Tribes of Israel in the eighth century B.C.E.  The remaining tribes were the small tribe of Benjamin and the very large tribe of Judah.  Hence the people of Israel became known thereafter as 'Jews" from the word Judah. (Much as people from Poland are called Poles)\nThe religion which is followed by the 'Jews' is know as 'Judaism'.

It comes from the word, Judah, meaning the tribe of Israel named for one of the sons of Jacob, that was the majority tribe of the Southern Kingdom. It means the religion of the Jews (derived from the same word as Judah) who are the descendants of Abraham and Sarah, as well as those who converted to the faith of the Jews, which is Judaism, as well as the descendants of those converts as well.

Women can be Rastafarian.\n\nAs for the dreadlocks:\n\nThe wearing of dreadlocks is very closely associated with the movement, though not universal among (or exclusive to) its adherents. Rastas believe dreadlocks to be supported by Leviticus 21:5 ("They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in the flesh.") and the Nazarite vow in Numbers 6.5-6. Part of the reason the hairstyle was adopted was to contrast the kinky long hair of black men with the straighter hair of whites

It comes from the symbol of the Tree of Life.  The Album, Young Tree, from which this cut comes, has been referred to as a reggae retelling of the story of the Tree of Life.\n\nThat in turn comes to Rastafari from Jewish mysticism.\n\nThe Tree of life is a diagram of the 10 attributes of God and the 22 paths connecting them.  It is used as a basis for meditation.

Yes, only this time it will be Jews &christians .It's Rome vs. Judah,Judah vs.Rome. First Rome occupied Judah  2000 years ago but Judah undermined the Romans individually and as a culture  therebyreplacing the frivolous morality the Romans had at the time.Then the dark ages of the Roman church age. Then the rennisance when the classical age seemed to make a comeback in middle ages.Oops then the reformation.Then judah' winning again.then the french revolution, with the rabble back in power, the wwi &ww2 the rabble defeats the purebreeds again.hurray for our side!only problem-christianity is declining,what to replace it with?hmmmm.I know, people like sex, people like drugs.people just like to feel good.Hey that sounds like ancient!Let's just go back to the old religion, it didn't have the requirements of the gospels of christ, Heck,we already do these activities anyway why not make it the law of the land?And while we are at it let's kill the people who are interfering with our happiness-the christians!and the people who started all of this,the Jews.Are not the ancient fires burning again?.You do away with the christian god, no one believes in his rules anymore.anything goes.soon enough when someone kills a Jew or christian they willthink they did the world a favor.Only problem is when the lord returns and fries their butt.

Jehoshaphat or Jehosaphat was the son of Asa, King of Judah, in the Old Testament. I don't know the second word you gave there.

There are white Rastas in the world, but it's a relatively recent developement, since Rastafarianism was founded on the concept that Blacks were morally superior to Whites, and that Whites where the source of all evil in the world.\n\nSince the 70's and 80's, the Rasta movement has become much more secularized, and therefore less rigid

Rastfari is a religion, God bless Bob Marley:\n\nJah One Love!\n\nRastafari movement\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nHaile Selassie I\nEnlarge\nHaile Selassie I\n\nRasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Lion of Judah as Jah (the Rastafari name for God, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalm 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible), and part of the Holy Trinity. The name Rastafari comes from Ras Täfäri, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I.

The movement is sometimes called "Rastafarianism"; however, this is considered improper and offensive by Rastas.\n\nThe Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the world, largely through immigration and interest generated by Nyahbinghi and reggae music—most notably, that of Bob Marley, who was baptised Berhane Selassie (Light of the Trinity) by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church before his death, a step also taken later by his widow Rita. By 2000, there were more than one million Rastafari worldwide. About five to ten percent of Jamaicans identify themselves as Rastafari. Most Rastafarians are vegetarian or only eat limited types of meat, and in the US you can find numerous West Indian vegetarian restaurants.

yeah, the lion is the lion of judah and it represented the dynasty of emperor haile sallasie (one of his titles was "the conquering lion of the tribe of judah"). when they overthrown him and a socialist government was set up, they substituted it with a star, so that is the actual flag.\nthe lion version of the flag is still popular because emperor haile sellasie, whose name was ras (=king) tafari before becoming emperor, is considered the god of the rasta religious faith, and so it is also linked to reggae music.

OK, you need to be specific. Here ya go...\n\n A Hebrew kingdom established in 1000 B.C. was later split into the kingdoms of Judah and Israel; they were subsequently invaded by Babylon in 586 B.C. - That was the end of ANCIENT Israel. But not the end of Israel.
