The second phase was the declaration of the ‘Dread and Terrible’, the staunch defence against those who would dare to suppress the ‘Alpha And Omega’ while living on ‘Capture Land’— an irony that had every Rasta man proclaiming ‘Here Comes Trouble’.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:quote -->\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\"Can the living be compared to the dead, especially when both lived in different periods?\" </p></blockquote>\n<!-- /wp:quote -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This then brings us to what I am in favour of calling the current era of his reign.
