Lion of Judah in Rastafari

In Rastafari, "The Lion of Judah" represents Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. On November 2nd, 1930 Emperor Haile Selassie was crowned King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God and Power of the Trinity in the eyes of the 72 nations of this world bowing down to His Imperial Majaesty. Rastas hold that Selassie is a direct descendant of the Israelite Tribe of Judah through the lineage of King David and Solomon, and that he is also the Lion of Judah mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
