The Rastas believe that Jah will send the signal and help finance the black's exodus back to Ethiopia, their homeland. Any news from Ethiopia is taken very seriously as a warning to get ready to leave. The belief stems from Marcus Garvey's theme, "Back to Africa". Although Selassie's death came before this was possible, it did succeed in turning blacks' desire to look towards Africa as their roots. Exodus is a Rastafarian word meaning 'movement of Jah people, fighter of the Babylon'. |
