In 1927, Marcus Garvey, a prophet, declared "Look to Africa, for there a king shall be crowned, and in 1930, Haile Selassie I became emperor of Ethiopia. He was worshiped and respected by the Rasta Jamaicans. Selassie is seen as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. The name Rastafarian comes from Selassie's previous title, Ras Tafari, composed of Ras, an honorific, and Tafari, his given name.
