Text Box: 12’ Tribe Text Box: Twelve Tribes of Israel The Twelve Tribes of Israel is a Rastafari group founded in Kingston, Jamaica, and now functioning worldwide. Its founder, Vernon Carrington, was known as Prophet Gad, and taught ones to read the Bible 'A Chapter A Day'. Twelve Tribes of Israel Rastafari organization accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, along with Selassie I. Due to the stigma associated with slavery and the false use of the name Jesus by colonialist not practicing what they preached, some prefer to use the ancient names of Christ - Yeshua or Yehoshua or JAH SHUA (aka Jah is Salvation) in Hebrew - Yesus Kristos in Amharic.. Haile Selassie I is seen as a divinely anointed king in the lineage of King David and Solomon. While he is considered a type/representation of Christ in Kingly Character, he is not Jesus Christ himself, but a representative of the everlasting Davidic covenant, which is to be fulfilled by Jesus Christ when he returns as Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The twelve tribes symbology is based on Jacob/Israel's 12 sons, and correspond to the months of the ancient Israelite calendar, beginning with April and Reuben. Some people further relate this to metaphysical signs. Thus Bob Marley came from the Tribe of Joseph, the eleventh of the biblical Jacob's twelve children. Ijahman Levi is the third child. Another well known reggae group of this sect is Israel Vibration. Bob Marley, a natty dread, by quoting a biblical text about Joseph on the album cover of Rastaman Vibration, was acknowledging his own support for this sect. Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, and many other roots reggae artists were associated with the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Due to their inclusiveness of all races and acceptance of the Holy Bible, though not the oldest, TTI is considered the largest of all Rastafari houses.
