KEBRA NAGAST

I have noticed no ostensible female presence in the KEBRA NAGAST ( Glory of Kings) holy book of Ethiopia as I have begun to read it; unless, the female principle, the woman, is inculcated, by analogy, into the mystery of the Holy Spirit. It reads from the beginning: "This is the interpretation and explanation of the Patriarchs concerning splendor, greatness and dignity, and how God gave them to the children of Adam, especially concerning the splendor and greatness of Zion, the Tabernacle of the Law of God, of which He Himself is the maker and the fashioner, in the fortress of His Holiness before all created things, angels and men. For the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit with good fellowship and goodwill and cordial agreement together made the Heavenly Zion to be the place of habitation of their glory. "Then the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit said: 'Let us make man in Our similitude and likeness' and with ready agreement and goodwill They were all of this opinion . And the Son said: 'I will put on the body of Adam,' and the Holy Spirit said: 'I will dwell in the hearts of the Prophets and the Righteous ': and this common agreement and covenant was fulfilled in Zion, the city of their Glory. "And he made Adam in 'his own image and likeness,' so that He might remove Satan because of his pride, together with his host, and might establish Adam, his own plant, together with the righteous, His children , for His praises. For the plan of God was decided upon and decreed in that He said: 'I will become man, and I will be in everything which I have created; I will abide in flesh.' And in the days that came after, by His good pleasure there was born in the flesh of the Second Zion the Second Adam, who was our Savior Christ. This is our Glory and our faith, our hope and our life, the Second Zion." P.5, "1. Concerning the Glory of Kings," KEBRA NAGAST, (THE GLORY OF KINGS) translated and edited by Miguel F. Brooks (1995)
