Ba Beta Kristiyan Haile Selassie I
Haile Selassie I
.... And he that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all
things new.  And he said unto
me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end.  
I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall
inherit all things; and I will be
his God, and he shall be my
son. ....

Revelation 21 v5-7
