Bob Marley 1978
Esther Anderson - So, I would say his conversion was that moment when he had his “vision” as he called it, of Selassie touching him on his forehead. Bob and I went to Nine Miles in St. Ann to visit the place where he was born. He told me stories of his grandfather whom he loved, and of his very young mother who gave birth to him and of his father, a 60 old year old Englishman who left before he was born. He then took me to the top of a hill with a small one room building he had built himself. He said he had gotten into some trouble in Kingston. At the time he had his dreadlocks, but he cut them off to get away from the bad influence around him and came to live again as a farmer. But while working on the building he got tired and fell asleep. He said it was not a deep sleep. He was just resting when he suddenly felt a hand touch him on his forehead. Bob said it was ‘His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie 1’ and a voice inside him said “you are like Jonah — he was in the belly of the whale — Now you must go back into the world and do. my works”.

Revelations 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the 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.
