The world has been deceived by western and modern Christianity to believe that those people residing in Israel today are the biblical Israelites but in reality the Bible proves you contrary. Guess what? This is what the Rastafarians know but sadly modern church does not.

That Israel is in Africa

The west has deceived everyone that where Israel is located today is in the Middle East. But in reality the Middle East does not exist. That place is north east Africa geologically and geographically.

That the savior is Black

The Rastafari's knew this ever since, they even believed he wore dreadlocks. As we should know the Nazarenes wore their hair in dreads like Samson in the bible. When the true rasta's see an image of white Jesus they'll laugh the image to scorn!

That the children of Israel looked like the Ethiopians

Are those people in Israel today the true people of the book? NO. Look what prophet Amos said:

Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? Says the Lord (Amos 9:7 A)

You can identify true Israel today by the color of their skin; they are Black/ Brown people.

Finally that America is the new Babylon

The true Rastafari's believed that black people are in Babylon currently, a strange land. And one day God is going to take them back home. They believe that a GREAT exodus is coming where black people will go back to Africa (Israel) and America (Babylon) will soon crumble.

Some Things you should know about the Rastafari's:

They believe that your body is your temple

The rasta’s believe that you should not do anything to alter your natural look because it’s like a place of worship and it is sacred. That’s why they leave their hair and beards to grow long. They believe humans should not tamper with their skin by bleaching, piercing, tattooing or performing cosmetic surgery on it.

The rasta’s prefer to be vegan

Meaning they believe it’s healthy to eat plant based diet than animal products or dairies. They also believe red meat has dirt. They don’t like eating anything processed or enhanced like GMO foods.

Not all rasta’s smoke weed

It’s a signature thing with people associated with the lifestyle of the Rastafari's to smoke weed I guess? But it will surprise you that not all rasta’s do smoke weed. Some rasta’s stay totally away from smoking weed. They also believe those who smoke weed are going against the lifestyle of the real Rastafari's.
