| For
it has been said that when either a man or women
vow the vow of Nazarite |

of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or
woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a
Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
1 Samuel 1:11 -
And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts,
if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of
thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget
thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid
a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD
all the days of his life, and there shall no
razor come upon his head. |
| No
scissors nor razor shall be upon his head |
Numbers
6:5 - All the days of the vow
of his separation there shall no razor come upon
his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the
which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he
shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the
hair of his head grow.
Judges 13:5 -
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and
no razor shall come on his head: for the child
shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and
he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand
of the Philistines.
Judges 16:17 -
That he told her all his heart, and said unto
her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head;
for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my
mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength
will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be
like any other man.
1 Samuel 1:11 -
And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts,
if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of
thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget
thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid
a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD
all the days of his life, and there shall no
razor come upon his head. |

times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only
Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of
lords, and King of kings: and they that are with
him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. |

him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH,
and rejoice before him. |
The

Revelation
18:21 - And a mighty angel took
up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it
into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall
that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall
be found no more at all. |
The
days of lice head and chill of foot amongst
children is over
And education and British youth now in college
taking over, welcome
Neither this is the time when children and
fathers listening most to grand massa [firebun]
Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Freedom fighters a go tear down Babylon
Revolutionaries a go tear down Babylon
R-A-S-T-A, Rasta, which means
Righteous African Stands Tall Alone, forever
And the king that sits not upon a golden throne
Is eating after the pig and sucking off his bone
Boy you no understand
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Fe truth and rights we a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
We no sleeping out again and you have to respect
each and every crocus bag [move up now]
And the time is coming shortly when we shall use
the marijuana and thatch our place
[swear it, my God]
Rasta a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Ayashanti a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon |
