Web Forum Post-"Prophetic music, an honor to blow the trumpet." Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 00:38:10 -0400 From: webmaster@reggaeambassadors.org A new message, "Prophetic music, an honor to blow the trumpet." was posted on the R.A.W. Web Forum by Roots Natty on Tuesday, 12 April 2005, at 12:38 a.m. The message reads as follows: Greetings in the Name of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I! Hail up all the massive just checking vibes and looking at the signs of the times "I see dem devils dem"... The Pope has been burried, the Kings of the earth gather in Rome to give their last honors to the one who has made it easy for them to exploit the earth, by fooling poeple to believe in the tale of Jesus and worship the image of the beast; Virgin Mary, while goverments do the unthinkable behind poeple's backs. Iditating on this music, I knew that when the album "Mystery Babylon Fuego al Dragon" finally got to be released the Pope will not be able to stand the vibration on the earth. "The Living Dread Rasta Resiste" was released on September 6, 2001 5 days before the infamous 9/11. Its like some kind of vibration and timing that makes RASTA reggae music a TRUMPET of JUDGEMENT. "Mystery Babylon Fuego al Dragon" is now available at CDbaby.com http://www.cdbaby.com/rootsnatty2 Reviews welcome at the page. Jah Rastafari Guide an Protect!
