Kebra Nagast

How the King's estate was accepted This I found among the manuscripts of the Church And the Archbishops of Sophia in Constantinople. " him This is who were there said unto [Domitius ?], what is written from the days of Solomon the King." And Domitius of Antioch said, " Yea, that which is written up to the day of the death of Solomon is to be accepted, and that which hath been written by other prophets after his death is to be accepted likewise." 95- HOW THE HONOURABLE ESTATE OF THE KlNG OF ETHIOPIA WAS UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED Now through the KEBRA NAGAST we know and have learned that of a surety the King of Ethiopia is honourable, and that he is the King of Zion, and the firstborn of the seed of Shem, and that the habitation of God is in Zion, and that He there breaketh the might and power of all his enemies and foes. And after him the King of Rome was the anointed of the Lord because of the wood of the Cross. And as concerning the kingdom of Israel when the Pearl was born of them, and of the Pearl again was born the Sun of Righteousness, Who hid Himself in her body now had He not hidden Himself in the body of a man He could not have been seen by mortal eyes and having put on our body He became like unto us, and He walked about with [men]. And He wrought signs and wonders in their midst. He raised their dead, and He healed their sick folk, and He made the eyes of their blind to see, and He opened the ears of their deaf folk, and He cleansed the lepers, and He satisfied the hungry with food, and He performed many miracles, some of which are written down and some of which are not, even as " If John the Evangelist, the son of Zebedee, which did were written the down, everything Jesus whole world would not be able to hold all the writings that would have to be written." 1 saith 1 John xxi, 25. 167
