It puts one in touch with an understanding of one self; and through "Rastalogy." It is a primier that give one a true understanding of Rasta. Using the bible you can see where the author proves why Haile Selassie is Jesus returned in his Kingly and conquering form. I think that "Hath The Lion Prevailed" is an execellent book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Rastafarian truth.19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Reggae Report Review done 1993 vol 11By A CustomerThis unique book of 38 pages will assist any one; at any level; to understand the Rastafari religion. It begins ; as we did; with Adam and Eve. Using biblical quotations throughout; author John Moodie; or Prince Michael as he is spiritually Known; provides an understanding of the linage of Haile Selassie 1 from the very begining. Chapter One presents the trial and tribulation of Ham; Shem; and Japhet; their curses and their blessings followed by Moses and the Burning Bush; the betrayal of Samson by Delilah and the shearing of Samson's seven locks. You probably already know about David and Goliath; but did you know about Davids youngest son Solomon anh how he seduced Sheba? Chapter Two sheds new light on Jesus Christ and what he had to endure due to his belief in God. The death that he suffered in being crucified on the cross makes one wonder why some religions continue to use the cross as a sign that is representative of ones faith. The cross was used to crucify people and yet now it is a sign of worship. The cross is a sign of death and destruction; a burning one designates the nefarious Ku Klux Klan. It is by all means; a graven image that Moodie exemplifies in his writing. " The gun today is a symbol of death; just as the cross was 2000 years ago. the cross as risen to become a symbol of holiness; will the gun in the next century become a symbol of holiness?" In Chapter Three we are educated on Haile Selassie 1."Therefore being a prophet; and knowing that God had sworn an oath to David that of the fruit of thy loins; according to the flesh; he would raise up Christ to sit on David's Throne"(Acts 2:30). H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie 1 fulfills this prophesy by returning to sit on David's throne. Read on in Chapter Three to learn what Selassie 1 went through during his reign as King of Kings; Lord of Lords; Conquering Lion of Judah. "Rastafari has survived the afterbirth grime that the system has placed on H.I.M;" explains Moodie; "and today is classified by a Catholic Commission as a valid religion" ( Report of Catholic Commission on Racial Justice in Britain and Jamaica). With several photos of Haile Selassie 1; some interesting art work to embellish the words; some excellent inspirational poetry interspersed and significant insightful information; John Moodie has written a fine piece of literature that is inspired from the heart and soul. When Mr. Moodie visited the Reggae Report offices recently his spiritual vibe was omnipresent. Not only is Hath...The Lion Prevailed...? an excellent primer for the newcomer; it is enjoyable reading for all who wishes to learn more about the origins of Rastafari.
