As-Salaam-Alaikum...
In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, to Whom All Holy Praises is due, The Lord of the Worlds, The Most Merciful, The Finder and Life-Giver, to we, the Lost Found mentally dead in the wilderness of North America.
My beloved Brothers and Sisters, I am real happy to see your smiling faces here this afternoon. I feel that I'm greatly honored to have you present here under this roof, this afternoon. And I thank the pastor of this church and his members for permitting us to meet here in this church this afternoon. May the God of Truth and Justice Bless him. Because without shelter, we have no home. A man can not call the open space his home. He must have a shelter. Even the whole universe is shelter. So we must have a shelter to even teach Truth in. It is a time that we cannot be successful in teaching real truth out in the public. I have never did so myself. And I don't think I will begin. If you don't have a house for me to teach you in, I'm not coming. You way, "Well, truth should be spoken any place. No one should not fear to teach the truth." It's not that we fear that we might not be able to teach the Truth, but we fear that we won't get too much of a congregation out in the streets. Because the fear is in the people. It is not in the Truth-bearer. It's in the people. Not only fear is in the people that the speaker or teacher of Truth wants to teach the Truth to, but there is fear in the enemy of Truth. Therefore we have both fearing and they don't want it to be told out in the streets or in the public. So therefore, we would like a shelter. And we thank the pastor for giving us a shelter. Again, I would like to thank the beloved Minister John of No. 27, Temple No. 27 and his followers for welcoming me and my immediate son and son-in-law and daughter and my Laborers of No. 2, Temple Chicago, Illinois. We were welcomed in yesterday evening so greatly so warmly that I had to call my wife last night and tell her how warmly we were received. I feel at home in the midst of you. Every where we go and look in the face of our brother and sister, we feel at home. Regardless to whether they are believers in Islam or Judaism or Hinduism. Regardless to what faith that they have, so long as they are a member of our Nation, we feel at home with them.
So it looks that I came to hold a while with you. I want to hold here with you for at least three or four days. I want to tell you of that which Almighty God has given to me to tell you. I want to give it to you. I want to get it off my chest. I just can't be satisfied carrying it, knowing it belongs to you as well as myself. I must deliver it. You want to know what it is. Your presence tells me you want to know what Muhammad has to say. What Messenger he has to deliver to us that we have not already had delivered.
I'm told that your sound system here is off and that you're not hearing what I'm saying to well. However, if you like that I blast away, The Word, to you, I am capable of doing so. But you don't like to yell out in a man's house on your first visit. But when I'm home, I don't need a "mike".
The first thing that I would like to acquaint you with is that Greeting that you heard coming from us, "As-Salaam-Alaikum". You heard that word. You want to know what it means. That's an Arab word, or the Arabic/Arabians word or greetings in their own language. It's an Arabian...It's an Arab word...means peace. That's what it actually means. It means "peace to you brother". And I think that that is a very good greeting to use. To say "Peace" to a people who have not been able to enjoy peace for at least, to their knowledge and their history, four hundred (400) years. It is the very greeting of God, Almighty.
You find in your Bible, even the prophets of old, Jesus himself, it was their greeting. It was the disciples of Jesus greeting word, "peace", right? So why should not we use the word in its original language or the greetings. We should say it in the original language, which is "As-Salaam-Alaikum".
Let us again remember that we have not a greeting between us that means peace of what the slave masters have taught us. The slave masters have taught our fathers, came down through their children to say, "Good Morning", "Good Evening", "Good Afternoon", "Good Night", and "Hello", "How are you?", or "Hi so and so", or "Hey so and so and so". That is not a good and intelligent greeting. It sometimes proves untrue. Even "Good Morning" sometimes is not a good morning. Its sometime too hot for us, too cold for us, or sometimes the weather is too bad for us. In fact about it, we have to be careful to remember when we have actually enjoyed a good morning. But yet, the greeting of the Christian world is "Good Morning".
There is Christians who also uses "As-Salaam-Alaikum" but they are using the word as a pass word or greetings in a secret society, known as the Moslems Shriners. Moslems Shriners use the same greetings because they represent themselves as being Moslems, as we are. And they study the Holy Qur'an and they profess to believe in the religion that we call Islam The religion of peace. But they commercialize on that religion. I'm sorry, brother Shriner, but my subject is "Truth".
We must remember that we should teach our children in such way that they too may be able to teach their children the Truth. And Truth vanishes everything that hinders the unity and peace of the Brotherhood. As the sun rose this morning, it vanished all the confusion that we had last night in the dark trying to find our way around, right?
My beloved brothers and sisters, "As-Salaam-Alaikum", everyone of you should greet each other with that same greeting, As-Salaam-Alaikum. And I will say to you, "Wa-Alaikum-Salaam", meaning the same thing, "Peace to you Brother". It also has a greater significance to it. Saying "As-Salaam-Alaikum", also signifies freedom, justice, equality to you, brother. You're are my equal. You are justified as being my equal. You're justified as being my brother. You and I are equal. You and I are free. I'm free and you are free. I extend to you freedom. I extend to you justice because you are free justified to be my equal. My beloved brothers and sisters, it means a whole lots. We have so much that we would like to get over to you that you would not have patience to sit here and listen to it all. Because by this time tomorrow if I would continue to have the energy to deliver it to you, I could be standing right here tomorrow this time, with something new coming to you that Almighty God has revealed to me or rather has taught me.
Now, let me try and sum up to you some of the good things that I would like to teach you of, for the next three days, including today. My subject, I say, it is Truth. I would say that is the subject that I take all of the timeTruth.
There is never a time that I will not say that my subject did not mean Truth. Regardless to what I talk on, it is still Truth. The subject is Truth.
We are living, today, in such times that if the Truth is not told to you, you are bound for total destruction, death while that you are walking on your feet. You are already dead in one way. But a second death put you completely out of the way. Number one, you have not the knowledge that actually today is the Day of the Resurrection of the Dead. You have not the knowledge today that you should have that it is the day that God, Almighty himself is present. You have not the knowledge, today, to know that this is the end of the world that you have been knowing and that a New World is now merging in. You are not taught as you should be taught. Why? It is due to the fact that you live in the house of your enemies. I want you to have a little patience with me a while because I can not just get it over too fast with you, least you might forget. And I don't want you to forget anything that I say. And I don't think that you will forget. If you sit here and listen to what I have to say, you will remember it another year this day. The same as you listen and receive it today, you won't forget it. It will always show itself to you because it is the Truth. You, today, must believe and know that the two worlds, the Black man's world and the white man's world is at enemy, between the two. The two are enemies to each other. And that they want to have a showdown. They want to settle-off with each other. And they are prepared to do so. This you are not told the Truth of. And I want to tell you that Truth within the next seventy-two hours. I want you to know just what the Nations are doing. I want you to know what God is doing. I want you to know what you should be doing.
We are so backward in the Truth that we are ashamed of ourselves when Truth is actually presented to us as it should be. Some of us regret the years that we have already lived out of the knowledge of Truth.
My beloved Brothers and Sisters, remember from whence you came. You must remember that. That you were not always in Western Hemisphere. You must remember that you did not, and your fathers, came on your own free will and accord. You were brought here. You were forced here. You were made to come. You were made to stay. Right? Your fathers did not like to stay. But they were made to stay. Your fathers wanted to return but they could not return. They had no way to return. If they had been given the freedom to return, after they were brought here, you and I would not have been here today. What I want to get over to you is this, due to the lack of knowledge of Truth, you feel satisfied today to be here and satisfied to remain here, while your fathers were not satisfied in coming here, not even to stay here. What has made you to be well satisfied to be here and to remain here is this, the destruction of the knowledge of yourself and your God, your religion and your kind by the slavemasters has, now, made you satisfied in what the slavemaster says is his. While you have nothing whatsoever that you can be secured in of your own, neither you have anything that you can actually call your own. There is not man that can stand up out there this afternoon prove himself to answer me that you have everything of your own. Not even to your own blood.
Now, since you don't have your own, would you accept your own if it was offered to you? How many of you would be Truthful with me and say, by holding up your hand that if you really know your own that you would accept it. Let me see the hands of those who would accept it. See? Very few wants their own. Very few. Not even a third of you would like to have your own. What am I preaching, then, for. I have your own. I was sent with your own to deliver to you your own that the slavemaster robbed you of.
Now I'm like a man running down the street, has found some one's purse that is filled with money and I want to deliver it to the one who has lost the purse, the rightful owner of the purse. And now, when I get to the rightful owner of the purse, they say they don't want it.
This reminds me of the Lord's address to Ezekiel. He says to Ezekiel, Son of man warn them for me, whether they hear or whether they forbear. You warn them for me. They will not hear you, because they would not hear me. Have you ever studied that? Just remember, that if you are...the people had already rejected the voice of God, Himself, now he sends a Prophet to them, then they rejects that Prophet, who represents God. Then then God tells them, He says, I knew they would not accept you because they rejected me. This is not so laughable be it only refers to you. And you have proven here to me that you are really the people that Book is referring to. Regardless to what you read in the Bible (Pardon me I'm holding up the wrong book) Regardless to what you read in the Bible, it is something to teach you of your own history. Regardless to whether they say Jew or Greek or Gentile, there is something in it that must be gotten over to you. In fact, about it, if carefully study and understanding the Bible, it is all referring to you and I and not really to Israel nor the Greeks, nor the Jews. It is you. One thing that I would like to say to you, even Israel going out of Egypt and God protecting His people and destroying Egypt or the Egyptians cannot really refer to Israel nor to Egypt. To say that such things happened in the land of Egypt four thousand years ago, you might find yourself if examined by scholars to be wrong. In writing the history of a future people, who shall be a conquering people, who shall overcome the present rulers and rule the world themselves, the writer or the author of that should be very careful in order to preserve the life of the future conquerors. I hope you understand. Therefore, the Bible has wrote up your histories there but it is in such a way you don't and can not understand, unless God teaches it to you or teach one of you the understanding of the Book so that he may teach you the understanding of it. That is what is now taking place in your midst and you are not able to see and understand it. There could never be a Resurrection or a Judgment of the world...Let me repeat and get it right...There could not never be a Resurrection of the dead and a Judgement of the wicked and the righteous unless you first or the world understand the Truth of themselves. You can not go and justified yourselves in convicting a man who has been accused... or even that has been accused of a crime or breaking the law of the land without first really teaching this law-breaker the law of the land. If he's ignorant to the law of the land you have to have some kind patience or leniency with that man. You can not give him the fullest extent of the punishment of that crime because he don't know it. But they say, there is no excuse of the law. Well, that is right. We also say that even there is no such thing as a mistake in the Law that has been made and decided upon. The law-maker should not have made a mistake...Do, they are guilty themselves and should be persecuted and taken by their own law.
Now, lets see, again. If I have said that I have come with the Truth, I must prove that you are without the Truth. If I say that I come to free you, I must prove that you are in bondage. If I say that you have not been taught the Truth, I must prove that you have been taught, then, other than the Truth. If I say to you that today is the Day of Resurrection of the Dead, today is the Judgment, today is the Separation of the people, then I should prove to you that it is the day. If I say to you that God is present, and he's in our midst and I'm directly sent from Him, I should prove that He's present. How must I prove to you that He's present? By that which is taking place in your midst that could not have taken place unless he was present.
Time! We must have a knowledge of the Time. If we have been working all day from..the morning rather... from six until twelve, we say we should now have lunch. You say, What time is it and when should we have lunch? At twelve noon. Let's see if it's twelve noon, then we look at the time piece, is that right? And if it's twelve by your time piece, you say it lunch time, right? And when we see eating and the factory is all closed or the machines cease to operate because it's lunch time, then we know why you are eating, is that right? Because it's lunch time. And someone says prove it. And we say, look at the clock, it's twelve o'clock isn't it? Okay, the same thing I have for you. If I say to you, it is time of the Resurrection of the Dead and Judgment of the world then alright what time should this take place? At the end of 6,000 years rule of the present nation or race called white race. Then you will ask me, how do you know that this is the end of 6,000 years that was given to them to rule? Where is your proof? Alright, the real proof is this... You will say, "Show it to me, it's not in the Bible! If you read the Bible it's not there." Yes, it's there but you didn't understand it when you read the Bible.
These are facts that I want to get over to you so that you will know how to sit and listen to what I, further, have to say to you. This is facts that I want to sum up with you so that you will recognize the main Truth of yourself that I want to get over to you that Almighty God has revealed to me that is your salvation. It is your heaven of todaythat Truth that He has revealed. You know, as well as I, that all of the scientist or religious philosophers and scholars and scientists all agree that the present world of the Caucasian race's time was up in 1914 or that it marked the end of their time, right? How do they know? What date did they begin with? If we want to be exact, we want to argue the question we can go deeper and deeper to force this man to tell us the real facts about it. Where did you start from? You will say. Okay, let's take a little reachable point here or date. You say, according to your Bible, that Moses lived four thousand years ago, right? Alright then... you know, brothers and sisters, Truth is good and it makes you feel better than anything that you could receive, especially when you have been seeking for it. If you agree and the histories agree that Moses lived four thousand years ago and that Jesus lived two thousand years ago. You say, well, the calendar says about nineteen hundred and sixty years ago. Yeah? But, when we get after the Truth of the history of the birth of Jesus it was two thousand years ago already. Well, you say, I go by what they say. We don't know whether that you are in your rights by going by the present calendar because there was some mix up in their dates. You must remember that you don't have too much exact Truth written by the white man. Not even to the population of you in Los Angeles. You say, Why not? I want to teach you why not, within the next three days because they are people that by nature were not made to tell the exact Truth. I hope that you don't get to ill patient here for a while because I must sum up this to you and tomorrow I expect you back here tomorrow night, and Tuesday night.
If no one can prove that the six thousand years is up by actual dating, then how shall we know it, sir. If we can't find a date to start from to bring us up to the end of six thousand years, how shall we prove it. Alright, you still say you believe in your Bible. And the Bible says by signs! When you see such and such sign come to pass, then you know that the end is near.
I'm just that fellow that don't let you get away with saying that I'm telling other than the truth without proving it. What I say to you, I will give my life that it is the Truth. I don't give you guesses. No. It is Truth. Everything that I tell you, it is the Truth. Nothing but the Truth. And I will pay with my life if you can find it to be other than the Truth. And before you take my life, I will give you ten thousand dollars out of my brothers vest pocket for the lie that I told. It is much necessary that you know these things. Here you have in the Bible, in Genesis...We are getting after dates now or years...that In Genesis, around the first chapter and....let me get this verse for you...pardon me just a moment...in the first chapter and the twenty-sixth verse, God said, let us make man. That's is the twenty-sixth verse of the first chapter of Genesis. Then you would like to know what time that was and what year, if not the date, when God said that, "Let us make man". Let's move on a little further. And in another place here he says that...yes a little above here...he says here, And God created...This is the twenty-first verse of the same chapter....Let's go up to the twentieth verse of this first chapter, "And God said let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creatures that have life, fowls that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven and God created great whales and every living creature that moveth which the waters brought forth abundantly." Abundantly the waters brought forth life. Today you might think that that happened back there and at that time alone, but I say today every life that come into being, comes out of water. All life is from water. There is no life that is not from water. And let's see further down here, "And God blessed everything". He said everything was good that he had created. Is that right? But then God said on the sixth day...the fifth day he had created everything and then established a day. It reads like this in the twenty-third verse, "And the evening and the morning were the fifth day..." He's establishing Time. "...And God said let the earth bring forth the living creatures after his kind. " And in the twenty-sixth verse he says, "Let us make man. And God created man in His own image and in the image of God created he him. Male, female created he them.." And this day was on the sixth day that he made the man, right? According to the Bible. Well, now, if that was on the sixth day of God's work in creating the man...let us remember that the beginning of the universe reads something like this: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He didn't say what day that was, right? He didn't say, this is the first day, on the first day God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible opens and it reads like this, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters...pardon me, I want to show you a catch here...And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water. Alright, if there was no earth and there was nothing but space and it was deep and the spirit of God moved and when the spirit of God moved it moved upon water, well where was the water.
There is a catch right there in your second verse of Genesis, first chapter, that you never pay attention to. Now if there was no earth, there was no such thing that we can call anything then the spirit goes out and finds water then what was the water on. "And God said, Let there be light and there was light". Oh, alright, let's see... "And God saw the light"...What was the light that he's actually referring to? He didn't say, And God said that he would make a light to dispel darkness. He didn't say it in that way. And God will create a sun. It reads in such way that a scholar can take it and twist it up and bring about one of the worst arguments that you ever have been faced with. I want you to think it over... "And God saw that it was good." Well then, if God said let there be light...I'm putting words or arguments in to you that you probably could be able to argue yourself with any scientist on the scripture...If God said let there be light, and the Book teaches us that God, Himself, is light, Well then God, Himself, must have been in darkness.
We are the kind of people that carries the word all to pieces and makes you answer and give us the Truth of every part. That's the kind of people we are. And that's the way you should be. If you want to know the Truth, take the Truth and tear it all to pieces and understand each part. Then you are able to master the Truth, right?
If God said, Let there be light and there was light, and then God divided the light from the darkness. Then alright, where was God? If everything was under darkness, there was nothing out there and yet God said let there be light and there was light then where was God? If you say that He was in heaven, the heavens have not been made yet, according to the Bible.
I know that you probably, some of you, probably say I wish he had not come here. But I'm your friend. I'm your brother. I love you. And some day you will come to love me.
You will bear me witness that, according to the Bible, there was no heaven created, until the sun, moon and stars were made. Then the sun, moon and stars were referred to as the heavens, right?
Before there was any light, then alright, God spoke into darkness and there was no mention of heaven by Moses, is that right? Well then you will disagree with it but the Bible is here for you to read for yourself. I'm not arguing with you on something that you can not see for yourself.
I'm not trying to put anything wrong in this Book. I'm trying to show you how that you have misunderstood it. That's all. "...And God said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters." Alright, right there is argument. If you said, Moses, that there was nothing there, entire spacethe open space was without anything and now you said that God divided the waters from the waters by creating a firmament. Well then what you actually mean to tell us is there was nothing but water and the waters needed a light and the waters needed to be divided from itself, by bringing in land, right?
Alright, agree on facts that's all we can do. When facts are presented to us, let us agree on them, and not argue them.
Now the heavens that we now see, the astronomers glasses that they view the entire heavens that we call heavens. That means the stars, the moon, the sun; we call heaven, right? And the space that they revolve in. They don't see wherein that these planets were actually brought out of an entire universal water. They don't see water surrounding them, in-between them. They don't see yet water. Is that right? But they see water on some of these planets. But beyond the planet there is no water. So why should the Bible read, divide the waters from the waters, before ever there was even a planet created.
I'm satisfied that I don't get the agreement from all of you, but I'm satisfied that any high school student, not to mention college and university students, all will agree with me that this is rightan error has crept in somewhere. It's not intelligently wrote up. Because if I'm going to declare to you the beginning of the universe, I should not make a mistake and say that there was nothing existing out there and then I say the universe came out of water. Because you can easily say, well professor, you just said that there was nothing existing, then where and how did you place water out there? These are they things they would ask.
I want us to understand Truth. Today is the day that you must understand the Truth. I'm not criticizing you for not knowing the Truth. But I will criticize you if you won't accept the Truth when it's offered to you. It is not that we're foolish or ignorant until we realize or is condemned as being such with civilization teachings. When we are taught education, we realize that we were ignorant before. Right? The same goes for all Truth. Before we know the Truth of anything, we were ignorant of that Truth.
Now, I am satisfied I have you agreeing now. So far. I don't know how long.
We, my beloved brothers and sisters, are here, not to waste our time talking foolishness. We are not here to waste our time trying to get over to you an argument to end up with nothing but argument. We are here to do away with arguments by presenting to you the cold facts.
Again, I want to say to you that according to your Bible. John 8:32,which reads something like this, "Ye shall know the Truth. And the Truth shall make you free." But, I say, the Bible, then did not tell you what Truth that you should know.
You say, I know the Truth. If you know the Truth, then you are free and you don't need the Teachings of Truth. If you know the Truth and is not practicing the Truth then, I say, you yet are worse off than the person that don't know it. "The Truth shall make you free." Let us question that verse. Or would you like that I turn to it and read it for you, so that we get lined up on it right. It's very easy to go and find. Don't think it's so hard for me to find John in this Bible, because John is a, you know, is a very common name. So many of you is named John.
So the Book, here, reads in a way to make you think that that was Jesus' word that he said, while that we don't argue that he didn't say that. We believe that he said it. But, yet, the way it's put there, we can argue it if we want to. We can make you prove whether or not he said it or not. Because in the first place we will say to you, you said, according to your translators, the scholars of YOUR Bible has said to us that they translated the Bible out of the Greeks tongue, right? Then we can say, alright, how do we know whether that this is the way that Jesus spoke when he spoke Hebrew?
We always can fight if we know how to fight. And we happen to know how to fight.
The thirty-second verse of the eighth chapter of....they call him...Saint John. Now that also can be challenged. Who knows whether he was a saint or not? Who knows whether this is the real name of one of the followers of Jesus? You can't prove it! We do know there was some Johns around the translation and some around getting the Book over into English, right? But now, whether this is him, England applying a saint to him, we don't know. But we do know it was a John there. So actually to know whether there was a John, a disciple of Jesus that was named John, we cannot say actually prove that with nothing that we have of the Bible. We can't prove it, because there was no such language spoken in the Time of Jesus.
I'm not trying to condemn you, brother and sister of the church, in your belief. I'm just only trying to show you how to understand the Truth. That's all. And will condemn you if you don't want to come to light of the Truth.
"And ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free." Then the thirty-third verse says"...They answered him, We be of Abraham's seed...". The Jews, they say, according to the Book. They say the Jews, but the verse, right here, says they answered him and we say it was the Jews. "...And we were never in bondage to any man. How says ye shall be made free?.."
I want to show you something right here that you over looks. You have never examined the Scripture. You have never tried to learn the Scripture. You have taken it on face value. You have read over it and taken it for face value"this is right, this is right." And you have never understood what is right.
We want to challenge your belief. And bring you out into the open and show you that you were wrong and that here is right. Prove right and wrong.
Now, if the Jews said to Jesus that they were Abraham's seed and they were never in bondage, then how then does the Bible teach us that they were once in bondage, in Egypt? And that Abraham prophesied that they would be in bondage. Right here you have never studied that, have you? But that's why you are all lost like you are. You never challenges nothing. You get up and blow your brains out saying "Its the Truth, It's the Truth, It's the Truth, I believe it, I believe it, I believe it..."
I'm not making fun. I'm just only telling you how you goes off and make yourself look small without the knowledge of the thing. There is many people have come to me that even could not get a chance to talk to. They start doing like this...I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! Well if I had opened their Bible and told them, say, Look right here, it's you, where it says, "They will not even let it enter their ears. They stop up their ears to keep from hearing." And then I will say, Now you judge between you and wise person and a fool, now. The same Book says a wise person will listen, but a fool will not. Now you judge which one you are.
When you are faced with Truth, it is like darkness faced with light. Darkness has no hiding place in light. It can not hide because darkness is false. Therefore it cannot hide when it meets real Truth. The light is the Truth. The light is from the sun and the sun is made out of that which will and can give light. But the darkness has no way of giving any light and the darkness has no defense against light. Therefore Truth and falsehood is always referred to under such titles of light and darkness. Right? If you remember, this morning, you had no trouble in seeing around you after the sun arose. Right? Alright, if you will remember, after these three days, that I am with you, on Truth, you will have no trouble seeing around you that you were once in falsehood.
Right here, this verse here, could condemn the Jews from being once in bondage in Egypt, because here the Jews say... that is if this is Jews... that they are from Abraham and they never was in bondage. Alright, while Abraham says that the God said to him that his seed would go into Egypt and there so join there for 400 years...Right?...after Abraham and said they shall have all that you see as far as your eyes can behold even every where. Take a look at the heavens, they shall be without number.
But we never have been unable to number the Jews! Right? All Praises are due to Allah.
And the Jews have not, never, been masters of the entire earth. Right? Alright then, something is wrong. Is that right? You will agree. You will agree. You are going to read your Bible, now, as never before.
I just want to bring the knowledge to you that you have not been given or have been lost from. The knowledge of the time that you are living in. The knowledge of God. The knowledge of the devil. The knowledge of yourself. The knowledge of the Scripture that you have been reading that you didn't get the knowledge of.
I'm here before you. I don't object to you questioning me all you want to. You can question me until your tongue is tired. But listen very well. Don't sit and sleep and then wake up and say "So and so and so". Listen well to see whether or not you are asking me a question that I have not already answered. If you pay good attention, I don't leave nothing that is unanswered, so I know what you're going to do.
I want you to know the Truth. This is what I am here for.
The Truth shall make you free. Let's go back to that, as you have understood a few points here that could be argued by scholars by scientists.
Know the Truth and it shall make you free. Look how forceful it speaks on you knowing the Truth. "Ye SHALL know the Truth." That's forceful. Right? Not whether you WANT to know or not. You SHALL know the Truth. Regardless to opposition or how great the opposition may be. Ye SHALL know the Truth. Have you ever thought of that? Not that you MAY know the Truth, but ye SHALL know the Truth, regardless to the opposition.
Another place here in the Book it says God says that He will work and who shall hinder it. Right? God says I will deliver you. I will save you. I will bring you again. Think over that. The Book prophecies that. Right? Let's see, then. How far should we go about this thing? If we SHALL know the Truth, then what are we in now? It is a fact that every one of you believes, today, that you don't know all the Truth that you should know. Right? You also will bear me witness that preach and you claim to know God, as you claim to know Jesus. Right? But on a close examination there is hardly one of you that knows either one.
I don't want to anger you because we are living in the day that anger of the Nations and the anger of God and the devil is all is at a fever. It's t about a two hundred and twelve Fahrenheit. Don't think that we're not angry. All of us is angry. So whenever that you strike, just remember we're going to strike fire too. We all are angry. We are in that Time. The Book teaches you that. Even God, Himself, is angry. He's not pleased. In fact about it, He has to be angry to judge and destroy the wicked. He certainly will not be pleased with the wicked. If He was pleased with them, He would not destroy them. And you can not destroy a man being satisfied. You have got to be dissatisfied to get rid of him. I say, my friend, anger is covering all civilized people of the earth. And the God, Himself is angry today. But I'm not here to anger you. I am here to bring you out of anger into peace and happiness.
Now, if I say to you that probably you don't realize that you don't really know God and you don't really know Jesus 100 %, I might will prove that to you if you want to contend with me that you know. But we don't have time to spend on that type of argument. I would like for you to go back home and study good after I give to you Jesus history. I'm not giving it to you today, but I will give it to you before I leave the city, if it be the Will of Allah. I'm going to give you Jesus' and Moses' history and I'm going to give to you the man's history before Moses, who ruled two thousand years.
That two thousand years you have absolutely blank, here in the Book. Your Bible starts from Moses. Right? At least they say they give to you Moses' books, meaning Moses history and his revelation that he receive from Jehovah. Right? Alright then, you say that Moses lived four thousand years ago. Alright, who lived two thousand years before Moses? Your Bible starts from Moses. Well what about the civilization before Moses. My friend, I'm here to tell you.
We want to know the Truth. And the Truth shall make you free. Alright, well we are so proud, maybe, we say "I already know the Truth!" But I want you then, Mr. Scientist, what Truth is the Bible referring to, that you shall know? You certainly have SOME ÊTruth. You certainly can say to me, "It is Truth that we are here talking to each other". "It is Truth that we are in this house." But what Truth that we SHALL know that will make us free? And who's in bondage? Who is it that is without the knowledge of Truth? Who is it that is in bondage? Who is being held in bond that must be freed? Tell me my friend.
If Jesus said that to the Jews, then the Jews ??? to Jesus, we are not in bondage, we are Abraham's seed and we never was in bondage and the Jesus condemned them that they were not Abraham's seed. He didn't say that they were not in bondage. The Bible reads in this way; that they were in the bondage of sin. But, now, listen, if Jesus said that they were the devil and their father was the devil and his word had no place in them, how then could he free them ? Think about that. Think about it.
My friend, we are here with facts. We fight you with the Truth and demand you to bring out yours if you have any and strike back.
Jesus says to them, around here, someplace around about the fourteenth or sixteenth chapter of St. John that they were the devil, the father of ...John 8:44, here in this same chapter. Here it is right here.
Jesus says "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there was no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."
I think I ought to say that same thing, today.
I don't take the place of Jesus. I don't claim his name. But I say, I think I ought to say the same thing, today.
Now, if the Jesus says that to the Jew that he...well I'll tell you, this is going to bring a lot of arguments here again...that the Jew was not Abraham's seed and that he was not one that could be converted to the Truth. He was one that he just couldn't receive, he could not do nothing with him because he was a child or the children of a father of theirs whom his Father threw out of heaven. And that the Father, Himself, could not do anything with their father and therefore He appointed a day of Judgment for them. And that one day the Father is going to burn them to get rid of them. Right?
I fight you that I am going to get you to agree with facts. I'm sure that I'm talking to people who are from the author of Truth. Whether you admit it or not, I know you! I know who you are. You are my brother and you are from the God of Truth.
If the Jew could not receive the Truth from Jesus, today we should read the history of the Jew and see whether or not that this verse is true or notJesus' saying.
Alright, do you see the Jews today, representing themselves as being followers of Jesus? No! No! They don't recognize Jesus at all, in a way of speaking. Just a few Jews will recognize him but the majority of the Jews claim they are following Moses. Right? Alright then.
Now, the Jesus say they couldn't receive his word and his word was Truth. Okay then, let us see. Is there two different races? Is there a Christian race (white race) and a Jew race? Are they two different races or are they of the same race and are two different religious people or beliefs? Whether we will say they are two religious belief people, but not two actually different people by race. They are the same race. They all belongs to the white race or Caucasian race. Right? Alright then, but one believes one Prophet or claims he believes one Prophet, who was two thousand years ahead of the other and the second one believes in the second Prophet, who was here two thousand years ago. And both of them are liars.
According to the history and teachings of Moses and Jesus, not any of them believed in the TruthMoses nor Jesus. They all walk after their own heart, as the Book teaches you here. They walk after their own lusts. Right? All praises due...And they don't love Truth therefore, since they are not lovers of Truth, they will fight the Truth they will oppose the Truth. Right?
Is not it true that they are opposing Truth from getting to you, today? You know it! You are not that dumb that you won't agree with me on these facts. Have not you learned in the past history of your people for the last four hundred years that the white man has tried his utmost to prevent the Truth from getting into your ears?
I just want to sum up the facts to you and you can agree or you can not agree but facts will stand as they are. You ??? this Truth. Now, since you know that the white race have always tried to prevent Truth from entering your ears that will benefit you, that you will be benefitted by, then alright, why argue with me....when the Jesus you claim to believe in also has condemned them as being devils?
These are facts out of the Book that you claim to believe in. If I was arguing with you on this Book (Holy Qur'an) you would tell me quickly, "I don't know nothing about the Holy Qur'an, I believe in the Bible." Then believe then in the Bible, but believe the Truth of the Bible. And don't believe a false of the Bible.
There are so many of us today that is insanely in love with the white people that we don't want no one to say anything wrong about them, whether it is Truth or untruth. But I call upon that prophecy, those prophetic words: "Ye Shall know the Truth". And I'm just crazy enough to tell it to you.
I say crazy because that is what you call a man that will speak the Truth. In fact about it, they called Jesus crazy. They called Moses crazy. They called all of the Prophets that you now esteem, crazy, other than what they really were. So I don't think nothing that its coming to me so good from you. You most certainly that he's a liar, and don't know what he's talking about, a fool. But nevertheless, we are the kind of little boys that breaks up an old order and sets up a new one.
...We are the boys that behind us, the works take place. Our work is not in vain and our work shall live as the sun. It is Truth. "Ye Shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free" and Jesus said these words, according to the Bible. They are put here in red. Now, if Jesus said that to the Jews, and he was using his time there trying to teach the Jew and the same Book teaches us that he said he was sent to the Lost Sheep, to the house of Israel to save Israel from her sin, according to the same one...
I want to clear myself to you because I'm going into a lot of Truth with you for the next three days and I don't want you to misunderstand. So I clear these up because right here is where you are really in the grave at; that is, in the New Testament. You are buried right here. Yes sir. And if I can get you started Resurrecting out of the New Testament, I don't have to worry about the Old.
You have heard lots of people, leaders teach and preach you the Book. You have heard much of it. You can hear them all up and down the street in some cities and towns today, preaching the Bible and saying they know the Book and the know God's word and this is Gods words and "I know God" and "I know Jesus" "Do you have God?" "Do you have Jesus?" You hear all of that, right? Some go so far to say "Are you saved?" And yet, if you would examine that question they, themselves are not saved! And yet, they want to save you. Well they, also, can be read in the light of your same Book: "The Blind trying to lead the Blind".
"Ye Shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free". Now if Jesus said that he was sent to the house of Israel to save the Lost Sheep and he made several parables concerning this Lost Sheep. He made a picture of the Lost Sheep as being one so dearly in love and so hunted by God and His people, that the Judgment could not take place until that Lost Sheep was found. He made a parable of a house where the woman lost one piece of silver and that she swept the whole house to find that one piece that she had lost and when she found that one piece she was more happy over it than she was of the other nine pieces. The tenth piece, she rejoiced over. He made pictures of how valuable this Lost Sheep was in the eyes of God.
I want you to understand that I'm dealing right directly with you and what you believe on and what has been taught to you and God and the coming of God and the presence of God and the Truth that you shall know, that will make you free.
This Sheep, he makes a picture again, of a man having two sons. He said this is like that Lost Sheep. And one went astray and the other one stayed home. He said and that one that went astray, the father was so concerned over him that he went out to meet him. Right? He didn't have to go out after this one at home, he's already here. But he loved the brother of this one and he goes out to meet him. Right? Jesus says this is the kingdom of heaven. This man that was lost among strangers. The Book says that he was lost among strangers in a strange land in a far country and that these strangers had ??? him. They had cast him out. Hired him to do the worse jobs that they had. And he was tired of that and now he hardly could get a job, get no kind of employment and that he was hungry. He needed a job. He was hungry. Right? These were people that were not his people that he was living among. He had spent all that he had. When he had nothing, alright, then he became in want and no one would give him. All praises is due to Allah.
Is this the house of Israel? Is this the Lost Sheep out of the house of Israel? Which one now are you making a parable of.
Alright, we only want to get down to facts. Dig out the root of the thing. And I want to shake the earth off it and show it to you that that's really the root of it.
Now if Jesus, two thousand years ago said that he was sent to the Lost Sheep of the house of Israel after being in the house of Israel and being among the Lost Sheep, why should he make such parables? You don't need to make a parable over that which have now been understood. No. No. All praises is due to Allah. This is worth your waiting. Because you believe in these things.
Let me tell you, my friend, if one of these brothers represents part of a Nation that the other brother belongs to, which went into a far country and grown among strangers and the strangers did not show him any brotherly love, then let's see about the Jews.
Where has the Jew gone and left part of the Jews? Read the history of the Jews. Search the history of them in the Bible. Where were they divided at and that one needed to go back to the other? No! You don't find it here, in the Bible.
Alright, then, well who does this parable refer to? And what people, today, absolutely fits and answers the descriptions of this parable? It is you and I, in America!
One day, our father was brought here into a far country. And he became servants to a strange people. Right? All praises is due to Allah.
And now after 300 years of servitude slavery, the Lost all of the knowledge of themselves. They Lost all that the original possesses. Right? And they were in want. They needed something.
Excuse my fighting language, my beloved brothers and sisters. You could easily pardon me because I just told you that we all are angry and so you don't have much to over-look.
We were without the knowledge of our fathers, without the knowledge of our native land, without the knowledge of ourselves and were turned a-loose without anything. Without the knowledge of others. Could not read nor write. Didn't know even as much, how to demand a absolutely perfect freedom in deed. We didn't contest the freedom. Right? We didn't examine that kind of freedom. All we knew was white man said, "You're free nigger".
It's pitiful, but I say that the Truth shall make you free. You must know the Truth.
You say, today, "I'm free!" You still say that. Like the foolish answer came to Jesus from the Jews: "We're not in bondage, we are free people". You will tell me that! How free are you? That's the thing I want you to look into. How free are you? How free did the white slave masters make our fathers? If you are still begging for freedom, justice and equality; still begging for Civil Rights, which is justice and equal rights; then you have not as yet freedom. Because a free person is free to go any where he wants to; live any where he wants to. He has the freedom of speech. He has the freedom to sit and live in the country where he lives. He has the freedom of every other free citizen of the land. He exercises the same free man regardless to where he may live. He's not bound by no foreigner or a foreign government. Right? He's free! Alright, then how much of that have you been exercising? You even don't exercise free speech. You are not free to speak what you.
But listen to yourself, as they say "Abraham freed us". You have a Abraham. And this is what this is talking about. It is not so really talking about the Jew, but it is after you. You say, today, Abraham freed us. Abraham did not free you. If Abraham Lincoln had freed you, he would have feed you in deed. But he only removed you from temporary servitude, that's all.
TO BE CONTINUED!
