The Christ-Karast followed in our Temple

Although, most Christians, follow the Christ who lived on earth, just over 2000 years ago, we in the Temple of Yahshuah, follow this exact same individual, but we proclaim as African’s that we have followed this Christ, as the Karast, long before he manifested himself physically in the flesh. In fact, we maintain that we have followed this exact same Christ (Karast), for many thousands of years, before his birth on earth.

 “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice”.

Joh 10:4

Whilst this may seem strange to some, it should be remembered that there are countless, references in the Old Testament, specifically relating to the Christ, his presence, his future mission, and his purpose.

Furthermore, there are clear instances in the Old Testament, where Christ, as the word, light and spirit of God, is also evoked and manifested, as a being, but not in name or in the flesh.

This is testified to, within many New Testament verses, one example of such is found at Hebrews 11:27, when speaking about Moses, in the Old Testament, but relating to Christ, which says that,

“By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible”.

Another example comes from Yahshuah himself and is found at John 8:56, when he refers to Abraham, seeing his day, for which he was mocked,

“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad”.

It is also attested by all Christian’s that Christ, had existed long before his birth, even before the foundation of the world, as Yahshuah tells us at John 17:24 that,

“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world”.

The idea that Christ existed before his incarnation, is commonly understood by most Christians.

There are countless verses to be found in the New Testament, which also support and testify to Christ existing, as a being, long before he manifested and was born in the flesh on earth, like those sighted above.

This fact is supported throughout the New Testament, confirmed by the Disciples, Apostles and even Christ himself. Another NT verse In regard to the Bible prophet’s, awareness, relationship and even connection with the Christ before incarnation, can be found at 1^st Peter 1:10-11, which tells us that,

“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow”.

Therefore, the real question here is, not whether he existed before his birth, as this is indisputable to Christians, but whether, he was known and followed by people directly, as The Christ and The Only Begotten Son of God before his physical manifestation? 

For most people, this answer will categorically be no, as no direct clear reference in the Bible, before his manifestation, explicitly refer to him as the Christ or the Only Begotten Son, which exists.

Although the term Messiah, which the Greeks, interpreted as Christ, or Messias to be more precise, and the phrase Son of God, do both appear in the bible, within the Old Testament, numerous times.

The term Messiah, and the phrase the Son of God, can be and is applied to multiple individuals in the Old Testament.

In fact, the word’s; Mashach, which occurs 71 times in the KJV Bible, and Mashiyach 39 times, from which the word Messiah is translated, simply means, to rub or to anoint with oil (Mashach), and one who is anointed or consecrated (Mashiyach).

This therefore signifies that the word illustrated an action, performed on many occasions, for many people and not attributed to only one specific person.  Likewise, the phrase Son and even Sons of God, is also attributed to both pious humans and to angels, within the Old Testament, therefore is also not unique to any one individual.

Nevertheless, the term Messiah, did eventually denote a specific expected individual, in Jewish tradition. As can be seen in the Book of Daniel, where it is used twice, at verses 9:25 & 26, foretelling a future Messiah to come, presumably in the last days.

However, the Christ that came 2000 years ago, was not accepted, by most of the Jews at that time, and is neither accepted today, by any modern Jews, to be this Messiah, for whatever reason.

Although, it should be noted here also that the term used here in Daniel, to denote this future Messiah, was Mashiyach, which appears 37 other times in the Holy Scriptures, without any special significance, or reference to one specific being.

So, outside of the person of the Godhead, as regarding a Spirit, Word or Light, of God, no clear, distinct, direct devotion to the Christ, Yahshuah, was given or can be confirmed, before his physical incarnation, within the Holy Bible.

Again, it should be clearly understood that it is only after the affect, meaning the physical incarnation of the Word Made Flesh that people begun to realise exactly, who this being was, his true relation to the Father and his presence, as God’s light, Spirit and Word, throughout the entire Bible narrative.

This is also clearly demonstrated and inferred to, throughout the New Testament.  An example of this is found in Colossians 1:15-17, which informs us that,

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature”:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

However, for African’s who have put on their Ethiopian Spectacles, we have found that this is not the case, but that we have intimately known Christ, from time immemorial, but as the Karast.

In fact, contrary to popular belief, African’s where not introduced to the knowledge of Christ, via the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, from the 16^th century onwards, which is often cited.  Or even as the earliest custodians of the Christian faith, in North Africa & Egypt, which is historically indisputable.

But to the contrary, they have had the longest, the most intimate, and personal relationship with this same Christ, with the right knowledge and awareness and the correct understanding of who he actual was and is; before, during and after his manifestation in the flesh, as a Jew, or Israelite, in the Town of Bethlehem, in Judea, just over 2000 years ago.

This intimate relationship is supported by much documented recorded history, available to all and any student in the modern world today and is also confirmed by the Incarnate Word, Yahshuah Himself.

This recorded history is also well known in our modern times, although seldom attributed, as such.

Whilst it is also confirmed by Yahshuah Karast, in his Go-Spell, at John 10:14-16, when speaking to his fellow Jews confirms that,

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15  As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one-fold, and one shepherd”.

There are countless volumes of books that exist today, which clearly identify this most intimate ancient relationship, of African people to the Christ directly, long before he was born in a manger.

However, most people choose either to ignore, not to acknowledge this information or its connection, know nothing about it, rejected or do their utmost best, to hide it.  In the case of the latter, from not only African people, but also from the global consciousness.

Nevertheless, this evidence still exists, which is indisputable, especially when viewed through Ethiopian Spectacles, as we have done, and is now revealed throughout this website.

It is with and through the name of Yahshuah Karast Mesu that we here, present, proclaim and reaffirm our devotion to the Christ, of ages and in all ages. But we do this, as African’s, in accordance with the traditions of our own direct ancestors.

Although we do agree with much of what the Bible teaches about the Christ, both within the Old and New Testament, we hereby affirm nevertheless, that this same Christ, was revealed or revealed himself to our ancestors, long before the Bible was written, in fact, long before Abraham was. Joh 8:58. Jesus said unto them,

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am”.

We here proclaim and maintain that the tradition of the Christ, as the Karast, was well documented in ancient Africa, as both a prophecy (foretelling of future events) and as a science, which was manifest to them, within the cosmos and creation.

Through this prophecy and science, he was however known to these Africans by many different names and in many different forms, due to his many attributes.

Nevertheless, worshiped still as Only One God and One Being, The Anointed One, the Light of the World, the Only Begotten Son of God, and the Sun of Righteousness, who was also Judge of the dead. This can be seen clearly from and in our Temple’s Ancient Nile Valley Creed of Faith.

This fact is also again attested by Yahshuah himself, when he warns his fellow Jew’s, of the consequences, as he foresaw their disobedience and misunderstanding of his Go-spell, for them to be mindful of their works, but he remained ever confident in his other sheep, when he told these Jews, at Mat 21:43 that,

“Therefore, say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof”.

These first fruits, devotions, rituals, and celebrations to Christ, the African Karast, can be found in the annuals and throughout the records of the Ancient Nile Valley, dwellers.

Specifically, the Kamites or Mizramites, also known as the Egyptians and the Kushite Ethiopians, who had long anticipated and awaited the coming of this Christ-Karast, in the flesh.

This they had interpreted according to their own testimony, due to their own unique understanding of the workings and forces of nature and creation, so they eagerly anticipated this event, in the eternal cycle of life, which was for them also foretold, in the stars.

Evidence for this is testified to, by His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, the 336^th ruler of the Kingdom of Kushite Ethiopia and a direct descendant of Pharaonic Egypt (Kam), who tells us that,

“An unheard of event, expected for more then forty centuries has at last been accomplished: the Son of God is born. He has only a stable for His palace and a manger for a cradle”.

Namely that for over 4000 years before Christ, meaning the Only Begotten Son of God was born, he was anticipated and expected by a people in their tradition, who then witnessed and accepted his birth as fulfilment of this tradition, notably the Ethiopian’s & Egyptian’s, at the time, and those still today.

Other supporting evidence for this awareness outside of the Jewish nation, are the 3 wise men and/or the 3 Magi (Kings), found at Matthew 2:2, who came from the East, following their own tradition and a star,

“Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him”.

The significance of the evidence supporting this ancient prophecy in Africa, cannot be underestimated.

It is through this understanding that the so-called Mystery System or Wisdom of Egypt, now lost, is based upon, and can be again today understood.  As well as provides us with the context and the historical foundations upon which the modern Christian tradition is built, albeit unknowingly.

Evidence to support this can be found in the 12^th century unique Ethiopian manuscript, Lefafa Sedek, The Bandlet of Righteousness, also known as the Ethiopian Book of Life, which outlines this lost ancient wisdom, within the context of the Christian tradition and faith. Available in our Temple Library HERE.

We maintain therefore that the modern Christian tradition and faith, is for us, but a continuation of the faith held by our ancient Ancestors, the Ancient Nile Valley dwellers, for millennia.

Also, that the Christ who was born just over 2000 years ago, is the self-same Karast, revealed to Africans, in recorded history from at least 4000 years before this birth.

The only difference between them being that before his incarnation (The Karast), he was evoked and called upon directly in spirit, by innumerable names, all reflecting his many attributes, whilst after his incarnation (The Christ), he was seen and called upon, directly in person.

“His name remains hidden;
His name is a mystery unto His children.
His names are many (innumerable) and
are varied (manifold) and none knows their number”.

So it is upon this understanding, these principles, and this premise that we, within the Temple of Yahshuah, again today; confess, profess, testify, proclaim, and reaffirm our faith, devotion, and worship, of;

The One God of African, His Only Begotten Son and His Holy Spirit, Yahshuah Karast Mesu, (Jesus Christ the Messiah), One God, The Elohim-Neter, Ogdoad, Ennead, Godhead, Amun.

But we shall continue to worship Our God, through the Spectacles of Ethiopia.

 “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;”

Rev 3:14

Also, we hold fast to our ancient African traditions, presented here today, as our humble fruits (Mat 7:20), our oil (Mat 25:4) and the talents (Mat 25:20) given to us, by our Only Shepherd. And to continue to increase upon these gifts (John 4:10), with good works, love, and charity, until our Master returns.

For us to be ready, when our Lord God and Saviour, returns to claim each heart, as faithful African Ethiopian’s. With complete faith and confidence in Yahshuah’s promise, made at Matthew 25:31-34, which tells us that,

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father,….”

We Pray that Our Yield Shall be in Wholesome Part.
