Rastafari movement in the United States
The Rastafari Movement in the United States is the Rastafari Movement, founded in Jamaica, manifestation in the United States.
== Background ==
The name ''Rastafari'' is taken from ''Ras Tafari'', the title (Ras) and first name (Tafari Makonnen) of Haile Selassie I before his coronation. In Amharic, ''Ras'', literally "head", is an Ethiopian title equivalent to prince or chief, while the personal given name ''Täfäri'' (''teferi'') means one who is revered. The origin of Rastafari came from Jamaica and Ethiopia. Jah is a Biblical name of God, from a shortened form of Jahweh or ''Jehovah'' found in Psalms 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible. Most adherents see Haile Selassie I as ''Jah'' or ''Jah Rastafari'', an incarnation ofGod the Father, the Second Advent of Christ "the Anointed One", i.e. the Second Coming of Jesus Christ the King to Earth.The Rastafari way of life encompasses the spiritual use of cannabis and the rejection of the degenerate society of materialism, oppression, and sensual pleasures, called Babylon. Rastas assert that Zion (i.e., Ethiopia) is a land that Jah promised to them. To achieve this, they reject modern western society, calling it "Babylon", which they see as entirely corrupt due to materialism and greed. "Babylon" is considered to have been in rebellion against "Earth's Rightful Ruler" (Jah) ever since the days of the Biblical king Nimrod.
The lion is a symbol for Rastafari because it appears on the Imperial Ethiopian flag, used in Haile Selassie I's Ethiopia.
