Final answer:

The Rastafari movement in Jamaica venerates Haile Selassie as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, influenced by his claimed lineage from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rastafaris, a religious movement in Jamaica, believe that Haile Selassie was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Haile Selassie became regarded as divine by adherents of the Rastafari religion in part due to his lineage claiming descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. This made him a central figure in Rastafari beliefs, with his reign as Emperor of Ethiopia being seen as fulfillment of various prophecies and added deep spiritual significance to his legacy within the movement.
