By Messenger Elijah Muhammad
We don't want to be like that preacher. You know the preacher had been trying to get his audience to listen to him. but but every time he would get there they would start talking about the party they had on Saturday night. So, the old preacher got tired of that. He studied up a way to get their attention. So he put his 45 in his pocket, and taking his Bible and he put a bottle of whiskey in his Bible case. So he got up before the people and put the Bible down to his left and he put the 45 over to the right, then he looked over the people and he said, "Brothers and sisters, my text is today, 'Some of these things will move you.'"
I don’t have any of those kind of tools to use. I have to make out with one book up here.
We’re going back to our subject. What I’m leading you up to is the Theology of the Time, and as it was written in which you didn’t understand. If I happen to get a little weak, you know, just leave it to I didn’t eat any breakfast this morning.
You know, the preacher, most of them, they eat a little piece of fried chicken when they go out to work. Well, that will strengthen you up a little, but we ministers of Islam do not do that.
We don’t take on physical food first. It hinders us from getting the spiritual food.
So what we are teaching, here, to bring your mind and your attention to the time. What must be done in such time? This is what we’re trying to get your attention on, it is the time. And that if it is the time, what is time? Time is motion, we can’t make time without a motion. Whenever we make a motion it is registering time. This is the way the universe was made.
There was no such thing as time before the Creation of God. The whole universe, as we call it now... It was not a universe; it was just a darkened, unlimited amount of space.
Darkness is still the limit of space. If we could get out of the light of stars, we will find ourselves again into total darkness. But I don’t think you’ll be smart enough to do that. You’re just not going to get out of the light of the sun and stars.
To get out of the sunlight into the starlight you will have to go a long way. It takes care of what astronomers call a family, the sun does.
The sunlight does not go all over the universe-that’s why you have stars. Stars pick up and keep the darkness lit up throughout the universe. They are like suns-like our sun. They are nothing but balls of fire.
Don’t look and wonder about what kind of life on a star-none at all-it’s a ball of fire. There is no life in all of the great space extending beyond 4 billion,6 hundred million miles.
We have the last planet in the sunlight, some people call it Pluto and that’s pretty good, according to those people who found it. They gave it a name after themselves.
A lot of planets sometimes is called by the name of someone else; the astronomer who discovered it.
But I’m going to talk on you of that first man that discoved these things, who made them.
It is no such work as going into some great shop carving out a planet to see what it looked like on paper. The God didn’t do that. They just Willed the planet and here it is. That’s pretty smart isn’t it? To be your own brother doing that.
We are practically bringing you up to the Time, in what God has revealed to me. If you would like to ask questions, think well of how you perform your questions. You’re not asking Elijah Muhammad. Just remember you want to question what God has told Elijah.
And if you are the winner and find that Elijah is lying, you’re saying God has lied and I will give you ten thousand dollars out of the Captain's vest pocket.
The main thing about this meeting and teachings , it is unity. We have been so divided against each other for the last 400 years that we want to unite.
We look alike. You don’t look like you’re more whiter than I, and I know we can unite if you’re black.
You know, I was sitting down this morning reading about the Indians' talk over Oklahoma. They claim that’s the first state, indirectly, in this little booklet that I was reading, that they are going to take over.
You know, the Red Indians have been mad ever since that the white man came across the Atlantic and taken over his country. He has been crazily angry ever since.
We have been here and have been made so blind, deaf and dumb, that we aren’t angry. We’re satisfied! We don’t want no other place.
Suppose Allah gives you this place, then we will see how you act. Ruling over a country, that’s nothing hard for you to do. Your fathers once ruled the whole earth. And so, for you to get back ruling, you're just getting back in the chair, that you belong in.
....those that I didn't talk to last week, last year. I'm talking to new people. I call them or we call them new because they never heard what we have heard. Which it's a very small group of people, that have never heard the truth.
We never have heard the truth, as long as you by that cross there, or under that cross, glorifying it to be the way to God. You glorify the cross to be actually the right way to Jesus and God.
I want you to know this, and I guess I’m bringing up a fight now, but you don’t have Jesus to guide you today. I want you to know that. You can tangle with me and all the men I will give to you, but there’s no such thing as Jesus, that they crucified 2,000 years ago, is on the scene. There is no such thing.
He said in the Bible, "I go away..." Right? "...nevertheless the Father will send you one." He did go, but you say, "he's still in the way."
Brother you are blind deaf and dumb!
The Bible tells you he said that he was going away. Going away means he is going to die. Not going to some heaven and listen to you for 2,000 years.
Yeah, sometimes I’m very fiery and ready to fight. So, if you happen to find me like that today, I'm ready to fight.
It makes me and you, who are awake to the knowledge of what is going on, so angry with this blue-eyed devil, who is blinding you and making you hate me when I love you. He makes you hate me, because you love what he gives you and not what God and myself are giving you .
My God and myself, as stated in my joke at the beginning of the lecture, we have something that is going to move you.
We come before you with the universe on our head or coat lapel, which means that we come to rule. That’s what it means and nothing else.
You can’t produce an argument against us that you could win with. It is not that you know what to argue on that could condemn what I’m teaching you; you can’t think it. You can't think the question to ask me that I cannot answer.
I sure want you to hear me all right. I don’t want to lose a word. I want you to hear me, because you don’t have next year and the year after next to come out and hear this, you better make up your mind today.
The change of the world is going on now. It is not to come; it’s in the workings now.
On the radio-I’m sure you have one-and TV, they are teaching you that this world’s time is now going out. They tell you that.
The fight over in Vietnam is not a fight of yours. It is not a fight of mine. It is the people that my God sent after, to try to save Vietnam people, nor the white American’s, who are fighting them.
We have nothing to do with that and I will tell anyone, regardless to who he is, and regardless to how wise he is, I will tell him, "You are not wise enough, yet, to tell me to go to Vietnam to fight."
You know I’m ...wanting to go after you today; I’m ready for you.
The last couple of Sundays ago, I was a little weak. I'm struck with some of these devil’s complaints and diseases. I don’t know if I should use the word disease; but however, I must fulfill that which is written of me, "In all of their afflictions he was afflicted, but the pleasure of the Lord will prosper with him." And if it's not prospering with me to get to you to save you from the destruction of the world of the devil, then maybe The God don’t want you.
But if you are listening, and you believe what is said, and want to follow in what is said, the teachings of yourself, making you to know yourself and to know the devil and God, I bring these two great Gods before you and make you acquainted with both of them. It is up to you to choose whom you will serve.
Elijah’s not here to force you to accept what he’s teaching. It’s just his duty that God has sent him here with, that he must tell you.
Now remember that’s all! And I’m not going to try and force you. I’m not going to spend time arguing with you. I was not raised up among you to argue with you, just to tell you. You can believe it or let it alone.
I would like to say to you that I thank Mr. Demet, who was the president of this church. It was called a church when it was under their authorities. That is their religion, that wherever they hold their meetings, it's called a church.
I may make you hungry today. I'll keep you here for a long time.
We must hear the truth today, like Jesus prophesied, that the truth will make you free. You don’t have to look up nothing else to free you but truth. Why would Jesus prophesy that? Because the truth is on your side. You are the truth man. I’m here to contend with the world-not you, not you alone, but the world. I’m not boasting, I’m just trying to get acquainted with you, that’s all.
That the scripture is fulfilled, wherein it teaches you and I that He would raise up one from among the dead and teach that one to teach the other dead, but He Willed that we should know. Well, this is him standing up here. I‘m not boasting. I’m not trying to be independent in the way of a boast of proudness. I’m only trying to make myself acquainted with you, that I am your brother and the best brother you have. Because this is why I’m up here before you.
I told God, when He was looking for one of us to do this job, I said to him, "back me up and I will do it." He looked at me and smiled and said, "Brother are you with me to put our people on top of civilization?" I said "Yes sir, if you back me up". He said, "I will back you up brother. You go....., " He says, "I will back you up." So He has been doing that for 40 years.
I have been in many (what you call) close calls - somebody has been after your life. I have been that many times. I’m still in it.
We have two classes called F.O I. and M.G.T. & G.C.C.
The F.O.I. is brothers, that you see wearing the initials on their head pieces which also represents the circle, like this; only it does not give to you little signs of the theology aside of the head piece. This, here, gives you the sign of the universe: the Sun, Moon and Star. Well the sun is not up here, but the star and moon is. It here - The closest thing that represents us as who we are.
You can’t get away from around being what you are, if you represent the Sun, Moon and Star.
We are the first people in the Sun; in fact about it, the sun did not make us, we made the sun, and the stars that lights up the once darkened globe. Our Fathers made them. Not the same One. The One that created Himself and brought forth light from Himself. Other Gods behind Him dashed these balls out here in the darkness and made light so far into darkness, that you can’t find the end of it.
Light out there is so far, that we can’t take and make a telescope... to pierce the distance to get to the outer edge. So, it must be a long ways. It goes into trillions, and into sextillions; all the trillions you can mention of. You just can’t find the outer edge.
Well, let us get away over here on this board
again.
Would you... (I say getting away with the board)... would you follow a religion that will hang you to the tree, like that you see over there? Would you believe in a religion that teaches you that that cross is the sign of what the murderers of Jesus did? Would you then, now follow that same people? I will ask you, Would you say that Christianity is right if they teach you that they killed the Jesus, their last prophet? Would you now follow them? You follow them, because you don’t know, you don’t understand.
You are so righteous by absolutely nature, that when they had you tied-up under slavery, they could tell you anything in the way of religion. Since you didn’t know it you would follow him. Because you're created religious and you want someone.... to teach you religion of some kind, whether it is the right one or not.
That’s right. You were born a righteous person.
And the devil taken you away from righteousness; and enslaved you here in log houses, and what-not, and taught you different from what you was created and made of.
He put into you his way. And his way is opposed to the right way.
This is what I’m here with from God to challenge the world, that they are un-righteous and we are righteous.
Look in your papers and in your magazines; listen over the radio of the land and the TVs and you will never see him on there trying to condemn me. If he says anything in condemnation to what I’m teaching, he’ll hide away. He won’t come out in the front and do it. I would like to pull him out, stand him over there before you like I am, and question him. But he’s not going to do it, because he knows it's the truth.
Islam has produced him, not for righteousness. Their Theologians, the scientists.... making new additions to the Bible, of the Bible. And that he is doing it for two things: This is his purpose and aim..it is to keep you blind to even the truth in it and one, to keep the book away from your knowledge, and keep it to himself...others that have not yet caught up with his lies.
"Is the Bible a lie Elijah?" No. it’s not a lie, if you understand it. But if you don’t understand it, it makes you see wrong. And we see that that wrong way you are seeing it was put there purposely by the liars to keep you away from the truth.
But I say to you that you are a great, blessed people to have to God raise up from among you, your own brother, and teach him the knowledge of the book.
I have been given the knowledge of the Bible. This is why I tell you that I will give you $10,000 dollars if you can find me lying, because God taught me the knowledge of the Bible. I wasn’t born like that. He said that I was pretty good material that was born. That’s why He'd taken me over, that I already was born with the right material that He wanted, but everybody’s not born like that. You find that in the Bible. That the Master went out...
We have so much to say that we may bore you a little. But anyway if I....
It shows that we was not wise. If a man offered us a cross and then tells us that they killed a great man, once upon a time, by hanging him on that cross, we should have done this, "Away with you. We don’t want you teach us nothing about a religion." But you wasn’t able. You didn’t know what a religion was and you didn’t know what to tell him your religion was. If you tell him that you don’t want this, he will ask you...(he knows he have a dummy)...he’ll say, "Well, what kind of religion do you have?" And you couldn't tell him, because you didn’t have one. He had not taught you one, but his own.
The white man was created or rather made to take all black people out of their real religion. Not one, but all. He has went all...gone all... over the earth taking black people out of their original way of life.
Now these to signs up here, we have gone over. And we're going to just brush by them to line up the new man, where we are going. This flag on this side, we put it over here, it don’t represent what you think it does. And that you're always worshipping it, "old glory."
I want to know just where in the world have you found old glory for yourself? You have not found no glory there in that flag for yourself.
You say, "Aw, he’s teaching us against the flag of the country? then he must be a communist...He must be... "
No brother, this is not the communist flag that's over to the right. That's
the flag I’m trying to teach you. That this is your
own flag and
no other people is to offer it to you.
Go and look over the flags that the nations have in your encyclopedias and also in the regular common books.
They teach you over here, that one to the right.. All the nations of your kind and my kind have a little piece of that in their flag...that one to the right. Some of them have just have a star of it. Some of them have a Moon. But he's in that flag, not over here.
Those that have their flag made after the design of America’s flag, America or Europe’s have something to do with it. What I mean? That Europe and America rules that people.
Even to your good little brother over here in Africa you called yeah Nigeria, not Nigeria, Liberia. Excuse my blunder. But that’s America’s flag, and that's the black man over there that he owns over there in the midst of others. That he can take that one there and try enslaving the others into going along with him that he’s backed by America.
So you say, "Liberia is my country, my state." No. It’s the white man’s state. He rules there. When he gets out of a state or country, then it's that native people they own, their rule, or can rule themselves.
Let's go from here now. I think I have been talking long enough...
Brother Minister James Shabazz, turn the flag over and let's get to work... You know, we can talk a long time off of just this and that because we know this and that.
Now as I teach. I will ask the Minister to do certain drawings and figuring over there on the board of what I saying. Now the first thing, Brother, I want you to draw me a long hyphen.
....I may have something else for you draw. Don't go to the side with your line. Cut off about six inches of it on each side...
But if we take the zero here and put it on inside, it's a fraction. Right? But if we put over in front of the one, we are making a full number of that one. We are taking and multiplying that one by putting just that zero in front of it. Tenfold. That's right? Alright then. That zero represents you and me. We were nothing, Brother, until The Coming of Allah. We were like that zero, there. Nothing!
Now He and put Himself with us. When He put Himself with us He increased us ten-fold. If, now, God has increased us ten-fold by adding His Number-One-Self. There is no God but Him. He's the Great Number One God. And putting Himself beside nothing, created nothing ten-fold. Right? He made something out of nothing by coming, standing beside nothing, which was no more than a zero. But it made the zero something we could count from. So this is you and me.
You are getting up in the world, capable of being looked upon and respected, because the One God is beside us (nothing). I only want to bring you into the knowledge of yourself. Why are you nothing? Are you in any ways tallied with the universe? Yes.
"Elijah why did you make the zero round?" Because that’s the way the universe was before the creation of man. And since out of it we came by One that was Self-created. He didn’t come from the creation of another. He’s The Creator Himself-The First. Remember that.
And He made Himself in a Circle so that the wisdom of His Self-creation could keep going to give knowledge, wisdom and understanding to you and me.
I want us to remember that. (Don't tie your one, brother. Don't tie with that long hyphen. You don't know what figure you'll make. Don't ever tie it.)
And, today, I wish to say to you, Out of this darkness came One and He'd taken the Unknown and put it in front of Him. For what? To produce the Known. That’s why the zero "0" goes in front. Now take more zeros, He puts up there beside zero. It keeps producing or making this One ten-fold, more powerful than it is. Just add zeros.
"What are you trying to drive us to Muhammad?" I’m saying the more of you, who knew nothing and was like that zero, today you add to the One God, you become something.
I'm only, now, making figures of us. And from the figures we teach and you can understand. Let's take another look. Since we started from nothing, and since God, Himself, started from nothing, and we're going to something... Because the Creator found something more in the darkened circle than He had thought that He would find.
He’s not here today-that same man-but He laid a base for a wise Gods to come and get a platform out of His work of Self-Creating.
Once every 25,000 years... (Everything I say in figures, write)...Once every 25,000 years, there’s a new God have been coming up into pass, so God taught me. Their wisdom would always run through about 25,000 years, and then they would change and bring in another one.
So all the Gods that ruled, as you didn’t know that Gods rule by ones, and not by just the same one. This is why you are taught God is one. That’s right, but it’s not the same God with us. They all dealt with righteousness until about 6,000 years ago or better. They produced a contrary God, that wanted to make his name known in power and wisdom in the Universe. This was only 6,000 years ago. And his was taken up by one God to rule the people for 6,000 years.
So, 6,000 years, we had a Black God, his name was Yakub. And that Yacub was playing with two pieces of steel one day and and that's where he learned his own work. By playing with two pieces of steel, watching their reaction, one attracting the other. That this steel would attract each other, and coming together. And He looked at that reaction. He looked up to his uncle and said, "Uncle, When I get an old man..." (that was, now, when he was six years old. He was a man born-Black Scientist-with a big head. He had a great big head, and they used to call him-so God told me- ‘The big head Yakub". Because his big head contained so much wisdom or brains of wisdom, He was called ‘The big head Yakub,’ because his big head contained so much wisdom of brains or brains of wisdom that he was called 'The big head Yacub', meaning that he had a lot of wisdom.
So he told his uncle. He said, "When I get an old man, I’m going to make a man that will rule you."
S0, his Uncle looked at his nephew and said to Yacub, "What will you make other than something that will cause bloodshed and mischief in the land?" Making mischief in the land and bloodshed. He says he didn’t tell his uncle that, "No, no." He knew his Uncle was telling the truth, He said, "That’s all right." He said, "I know what you do not know."
He did not tell him that he was wrong. That was just the thing he was going to do. So he told, "I know what you did not know". And he did.
You would say, "Muhammad, who is this questioning, Muhammad ?" It's the Gods! He was in the Circle of Gods, and that was God speaking to Him, questioning Him on his make of a man.
Now, when He got six years old, this Yacub begin telling the people...pardon me, when he got to be a grown up man, then he went out to start grafting that man that He decided to make to rule us from us. Think over that. He didn’t go out to make him otherwise, but to get him out of us, because we had the right material in us for the making of such man.
You would say to me, "Well Muhammad what kind of material?" He, in his college, school in his day and time, in the laboratory, He'd taken the germ of the Black man to experiment on it to see what was in it.
And that He saw, in the Black man’s germ, two people and one was a weaker one than the other, and that germ was brown.
So He kept experimenting with it and He said, "Yes". He said, "I can separate this brown germ, which is weaker than the other one-the black one. And I can make a man out of that germ and then I will teach him my wisdom and he will rule the black one until the black one produces a God greater than I".
So He discovered that black germ that he would use to make an inferior man to rule a superior man. To rule a superior man, it would take 6,000 years for the black germ, now, to produce a right man that would have more wisdom than he, then he could erase my civilization and set his into orbit.
Listen at what I say to you carefully. Maybe someday or another, or this evening, you’ll think that you ought to argue with me. But I say, if you live ten thousand years, you're not going to ever be able to condemn me. You can’t. Because I give to you that of God and you can’t condemn God.
You know, we, up from slavery, with the white man’s teaching and education, we think we have the know-how of everything. He has the know-how in his world, but he don’t have the know-how in our world. And our world was first and it will be the last, if there be any last.
We can take his wisdom today and wrap it around our little finger and ask our little finger, "What’s that around you?"
I am risen up among you to condemn the white man’s teaching and to condemn him for death. This is what I am here for. I don’t want you to think you’re playing with no light boy at all.
My size is very small, that’s why they, symbolically, prophesied of me being a little Lamb instead of a grown up Lamb.
No, Christian believer, that don’t mean that that was Jesus and I’m trying to steal him. Jesus was a well-learned man. The Lamb, there, gives to you a man that is not only little in stature, but he's little in education. But Jesus was an highly educated man. He was not any dumb-bell. He graduated at Al-Azhar, and he was no dumbbell. Then he walked back those 600 miles from Cairo University-Al-Azhar into the land of Israel to start teaching Israel, 2,000 years ahead of Israel’s time to live. But this one is on time!
I’m not only on time, or a little ahead of it. No! No! I’m a little behind the time. The time of Israel was out in 1914. Now, count the years since 1914.
As the FBI told me, when I was arrested by them in 1942 in Washington D.C., not for what I was teaching. He says, "Boy, if you had come with this teaching 20 years ago, you would have been shot outright, but it’s time that your people should know this. So,we are not trying to stop you from your teaching, but The President, Roosevelt, don’t want you out here in the public with that kind of teaching while America is trying to prosecute the war between her, Germany and Japan. So that’s all they’re putting you up for, is to keep you out of public while that we are trying to prosecute the war between Japan and Germany."
Well, I said "It’s a terrible thing to set a man up in jail to wait until a war ends to free him"....He said "just that one."
I was freed by them in 1946. They told me, down there in the loop, the U.S. Parole Officer, He said, "Now, Elijah, you can go ahead and teach what you always has been teaching and nobody will bother you any more. You teach whatever you has been teaching. We didn’t put you up for that, what you was teaching, but just to keep you from teaching others while we are at war. So that they will say 'we don't go to no war with you', like you were doing."
Now, there is two wars since then that you have fell in with them, whole-heartedly, because you don’t know yourself. You’re blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self; so therefore, you say,"Come, come on, let's go over to Vietnam and kill them, so America can rule without her".
You didn’t know what you were saying, because you didn’t know yourself.
What is the root of Vietnam war with America? It is to let these two fight. They, both, is enemies of God. Let them fight and let them kill off as many as they want, of themselves-the Christian and the Hindus.
Vietnam people is Hindus and you have no right, whatsoever, to try to make yourself a Hindu by trying to defend them, but you didn’t know that. Now, I’m telling you, that. They’re no kin to us; they’re no brothers of ours. They hate you if you let them go free and let their Hinduism, which is their religion, rule longer. If you don’t believe like they believe, in Hinduism, then they would want to kill you.
So in the first place, you were the dumbbell. You had no rights over there, but you went because he called you and told you to come and "go with me and fight my enemies".
"Yes sir. But if I don’t go he will put me in jail." How about that one he put in the grave?! We have been made just like our enemy, the devil. And we have the desire to defend him, even at the price of killing each other.
The Hindu people is not no brothers of ours, just because they have a black eye or something like that, or you see some nature part of the man looking like you. No sir. They’re not for us at all.
That old Hinduism has been taught by them, so God taught me, for 35,000 years. Not just three thousand or two-thousand from Jesus. Thirty-five thousand years! That’s the age of the Hindu-ism. Now, you can’t change them hardly. As the Muslims tell me over there, that if they make one convert to Islam, a year, they think they’re doing fine.
He’s an old enemy of God. But this is to run him and his Hinduism off the planet. That’s why God let him and Christian fight each other, because He intends to get both of them.
And why, that He is here after us, because we was born under the enemy and the enemy has taught us from the cradle to do as he does, which is against us and our people.
His teaching is so strong that we start cutting each other's throats or shooting each other down. Two brothers shoot each other to death, cutting each other to death. Think over that.
It’s strange to see two Black men, by nature, out there killing each other. For what? That’s your brother! You don’t kill your brother. You kill other than your brother, if other than your brother attacks you, but not another brother. No. No.
He put fear in our parents when they were little babies and they come up nursing that fear from the breast of their mothers. She sitting, nursing her poor little baby boy child with fear of the white man. It went right into the baby and then the child comes up trembling. He’s scared of white folks.
I’m saying to you, brother, take it or leave it. It’s the truth!
So Yakub...Who is Yakub? The brother of our people and the maker of himself among us, to rule us for 6,000 years.
There was no man, come up, that had the wisdom of Yakub, to take away His rule until the birth of The Mahdi, Whom I represent to you, in the name of Master Fard Muhammad.
That is your and my God, Master Fard Muhammad, in person! As the Bible teaches you, "You will see God as He is in person in the Judgment".
If you deny it and say that you will not believe in no man for no God, I will tell to produce me, then, a God other than man.
Everything that man desires, man prepares it and gives it to us.
This microphone, here, was not prepared by no spook. It was prepared by a man. And go show me anything that was not prepared by man, as I'm coming from the sky. I'm telling you what the Stars is; and how they were made and what they were made for.
And I come to the Sun and tell you what the Sun is what it is and what it was made for. And I come to the Moon and tell you what the Moon is made out of and why it’s called a Moon and why has not it been replaced since it was taken away from a certain place.
It has to serve it’s purpose, to raise you and I, both brothers and sisters, to rule the whole Universe in the Hereafter. And our words become "Be" over the creation of the First God who said "Be" and there it is. Our word must be that now. It must come to pass that one of you, tomorrow, or tommorow will say the same and we’ll have something different, though it may be a hundred, it may be a thousand, it may be a million years, it will come to pass. Remember that!
I don’t have time for us to go in arguments over these things, as I've got to get you up to the position where you can argue if you want to.
Twenty-five thousand years... this man that made white man was here 6,000 years ago, breaking the 25,000 years into the 6,000 years of his rule. Now, He don’t go to the end of no 6,000 years.
Where we're at in the Calendar of our rule, of once every 25,000 years, we change Gods.
His wisdom limit only to 25,000 years.
Here, This man coming Yakub come in a vacuum like that of 25,000 years, from the year 9,000 to the year of 15,000. Yakub's wisdom!
....Nine thousand years of our calendar history, of 25,000 years. This man, Yakub, was born and his civilization was to rule us for 6,000 years, until the year 15,000 of our calendar counting.
That year, 6,000, the wise theologians of the white man, they know all of what I’m talking about. They know their time is out. It went out in 1914.
"Then why are not we ruling?" Because, you are yet sleep. You are yet sleep and this is my work: to wake you up completely and make you command your way, now. And that you will lay hold to the rule, and rule the people of the earth-Black man of the earth.
I’m sorry black brother that’s from abroad, we are raised up to rule the next world, which is all black. But a class of rulers must be prepared to rule that people. We are the ones!
There oft-times that you hear us say, "Accept your own,". This is including that you accept the rule. That’s what you were! Once upon a time before the makings of the white man, the devil, of the earth. And that you are supposed to run for it now, not to say, be taught to it. Run to it! Because there is no man in the Sun that can condemn what Elijah teaches. No. You may feel that you can do it, but that's just your "feel".
When I get through with you, you can rule with what I teach you and get respect and honor throughout the world of man.
If you leave America, go in any part of the earth, and among any people, you tell them that you are a follower of mine, they will respect you, immediately.
...Six thousand years ago this man, the God of the white man, saw his way in making this people, by playing with those two pieces of steel-that one is attracting the other-and He’s still playing with steel! Right? This was the base of his knowledge to rule. It was to turn steel into weapons and use the weapons that he turned and made out of steel to kill you and me. This is just what he’s doing.
We did not make a great Navy to put on the high seas. We don’t need them, as long as we have power over the water that the other one is on.
We, The Nation of Islam, our Scientists, our Gods, they don’t need a Navy. They’re capable of sinking yours that you have made, without a Navy.
Did not you read in the Bible where, that the Bible teaches you that one angel they saw. He was on the sea and he caused the sea to become a corrupted power for anyone to use. He turned it all into poison by dropping something out of the heavens, the Bible teaches you.
He dropped a star in the water, from heaven, and made it unfit for the people to stay on the water. It says, when they dropped that star, all the people that was in the sea died, right?
I want you to know that this is not white people that will drop that star. They're black people.
You are the sons and daughters of Gods, of your kind, which rule the whole earth. They can take the earth and move it off from it’s regular rotation and turn it backwards if they want, and you will never know the difference.
To prove it, whatever goes on in the way of terrific explosions in China or in Vietnam, you don’t feel it here do you? No. It’s because the earth is so large that you could cut away half of it on the other side and you’d never feel it.
The earth is 8,000 miles, approximately, through her, in diameter. So since she’s so near to that figure, most scientist just say 8,000 miles. She is so near to being 25,000 miles in circumference, so the scientists, say 25,000 miles, approximately, in circumference.
Okay, let me get back over here and give this man a little more work.
If, now, that a God was made 9,000 years of our calendar history, and from that 9,000 years they count their time. He was a made-man according to the very nature of us. We can produce a man in nine months. So, he’s not away from us yet.
If we can find one thing that he has done without us, we wishes to show it by taking and combing the history and piecing it and looking for any wisdom that he had of himself that we didn’t give him. So that made us (in the slang) "Big Shots".
That this Holy Qur-an, here, asks the white race to produced what he has created, that which we didn’t give him and he can’t do it. All that you have, we gave it to you.
The white man has nothing that he created. He fashions something after our creation. We created everything that he got the base from, to make what he wanted to make.
The iron-the steel- was already here in the earth and he made his rule or kingdom from that which he found in the earth. That which he found in the earth was ours. That is why you find in the Bible, here in Isaiah, he cracks down on him to prove to him that He is God and that he has nothing to fight God with. He tells him that, "I created the fire that you blow. I created the gold. I created the instrument that you made for a weapon. I created the iron and steel."
Show me Mr. Devil Man, what do you have to fight me with? I have power over my creation. Do you have power over your creation? No! Because your creation is from mine.
Nine thousand years ago, remember this, that an enemy was produced to cause all of this trouble that has been coming to the black man for the last 6,000 years, whom we call white man instead of just saying devil. That’s his REAL name-devil!
You go by his color, because you didn’t know who was under the color. When Yakub was making him, he'd taken the brown germ away from the black man. And he'd taken that brown germ, which was weaker than the black germ, and he looked into the possibility of making a weak rule strong.
This is not out of the order of science, Brother. Don’t even attack the man that says these things, because you may fail to win.
This weak germ in us -the black man- a different color that was brown. So, Yakub said, "I will take the brown germ away from the black one and make a man of the brown germ, and then teach him him my wisdom.." He says, "give him my wisdom, my knowledge, then he can rule the black man, from whom I had taken him from, until the black man produces a man that is wiser than I. Then he,will take me and my made-man away off the scene to never rise anymore."
He told his people, the white people, "When you live on this earth 6,000 years, then you don’t try to rule on the 7th, because the 7,000th year, your Brother coming from the East and He's going to eat you up."
The white man or devil knows, this is why he goes over in the East and stocks his artillery over there trying to keep the man from coming out.
He starts working on him before he leaves, but they know that he was going to do that. As this Holy Qur-an teaches you, "We made you and We know what your mind suggests."
Whenever he thinks up anything, it already has been known and he can’t pull off nothing on us, like a surprise. He's got no surprise to make on us. We listen at him while he’s thinking of it. Think over that, brother.
This is what Jesus was equipped with, the knowledge of thought. That’s why he could always get out of the way of his enemy before they get there. He had already tuned up on them. When he knew they were coming from this way, he'd go that way and they couldn’t over take him, because their ears were not equipped with the instrument of thoughts of other people. So he could always evade them.
So my Dear, Beloved, Brothers and Sisters, this man, Yakub, He was was not that type of man either. He could not tune up on the people and tell them what they were thinking about, but this One that I preach to you of, He'll tune up on you and tell you what you’re thinking about, and then if He wants to- Stop you from making any progress with that thought or make you make progress- it depends on how it affects others and yourself.
I’m not saying this, making no prophesy, rather for you to carry out, but I do believe that within about, Well, I would say in about 20 or 30 years, you will be able to do just that same thing.
The cleaner you keep yourself, your heart, the more easily you can hear. If you keep your heart clean, with God, you could go over there across the street, you could go there in Oklahoma, you could go in California, you could listen at what I’m saying without the aid of anything like this.
The devil dumbed us and now Allah intends to unstop our ears so we can hear spiritually. As David teaches you in his Psalms, "He has unstopped my ears that I may hear, He has cut a-loose my stammering that I may speak plainly." That’s there in your Bible. This is coming true right along now, at this time. You don’t have to live in that time, it’s now.
I will tell you. as God has told me, how this is done. It comes to your ears just like the bell in your telephone. It starts ringing in your ears, but, now, you can’t pick up who’s on the line. If you do have that ear-ringing, that’s me or somebody else trying to get in touch with you.
I’m not trying to make you think that I’m no great scientist, that can pick up and tune in on you at will. No! No! No! God didn’t raise me up to do that. I go so far as He lets me go. Regardless to the nature. The organs of nature is there to use for such purpose. But I can say to you about David. He says in his Psalms, God had opened his ears that He may hear. You have it there in the Psalms. And I think maybe God will bless me with the same someday, when He pleases. As I don’t think David was anything better than I.
So now we move on a little further into Yakub's works as a God. He was the God of this people and he made gods out of them, as the Jesus teaches you or tells you, that they are the God of this world. And they are.
Anything they want, they don’t get on their knees to pray for it. They make it! They make it for you and me. Anything that the civilization needs, why, he produces it! This is what you call god-like power. He is God of this world. He can produce, for the people, their desires and materials.
You remember when you was a little boy, 50 and 75-year-old brothers, that you didn’t see all the scientific achievement for the advantage of the civilization as you see now, right?
Indeed I’m right! Because I was back along there myself and I didn’t see it. All praise is due to Allah!
I was so dead to you. I am honored to be living today, by God. So many of my brothers have fallen since I was born and I can’t find them.
Don’t be ashamed to tell people that you are 150 years old, if you are that, because God has blessed you. What if you would live as long as Moses? What if you would live as long as Methuselah? He lived nearly a thousand years. Now, what are you talking about, here under a hundred years? You’re nothing but a baby!
Some of you may think that you should tell me that "You're too old." I want you, young brother, to come up and tell me whether you could master the mission that I've given, to you, from Allah.
And I suppose if you would have lived in the days of Moses and the other long-life prophets, you would have killed them to get them out of the way by what you were thinking, "they’re too old."
The Bible teaches you, at the age of 120 years Moses, he walked upright. He didn’t walk stooped. And that when he died he was like that, and these others. So, brother, I think you need to study history.
You think that I am too old and you’re yet not able to take my place. You would leave the world in a bad condition, because you wouldn’t be able to carry on. So kind of stick around until God takes me away. As I will go away. Don’t think I’m here forever.
Of course, there is no death mentioned in the life of Elijah, in the Bible. He comes up from the Kings and runs out here in the new Testament in Revelation. So he comes all the way through the Bible and if he died, we don’t know where he died at.
I’m not saying, now, that I will live no great long time. I don’t know how long Allah will let me live. He may not let me live another year as far as that’s concerned. I don’t know. But while I’m here, I must work and do that work which He brought me up from among you to do for you. It’s a powerful job, as He told me out of His own mouth, He said, "Brother, you have the worst job of any man that ever lived."
So when you start to contending with me, you’re making the burden heavy because you can’t win and you’re wasting my time and yours too.
This man, being six years old when He started his work. Now if he was six years old, He was on time, because He was going to make a people to live 6,000 years. And He did do just that, as we see them and they call their number six.
And in the Bible, they say their number is equal with the man. Well, that’s right, because we, were also, ourselves, created on the number six, but it was not just a little six years. Ours went into billions and trillions, while his stopped at just a few years carrying 12 months, 365 and 1/4 days. This is his type or his kind of years that he has lived this 6,000.
There is no more for him, regardless to your love for him to continue to stay here, and let you enjoy his civilization. That don’t make any difference, his time is up!
And you should be happy that his time is up, as much hell that he gives you in this time. He didn’t give us nothing but hell. Now, why should we want him to live? It's because we are so lazy, we don’t want to go for self and we would rather be a slave to a smart man than to be a smart man ourselves.
So remember that brothers. I may not please you so well in speaking about the white man, because you love his way of life. That’s why you don’t like to hear me say too much against him. But I'm at the time when it’s your and my time that I don’t need to worship him. He’s not going to live to rule much longer. And he’ll bare me witness, with you, their time is up!
They’re just staying around giving you hell while they are here. And as long as you don’t remove them.
It is our people to remove them, but they can’t remove them as long as you are here worshipping them. They got to put a stop to your worshipping them. So the thing they’re going to do is break his power on land, sea and air.
This is what they are fixing to do now- Believe it or let it alone!
And then, if you want to go along with them, they will give you a fair chance. On every other corner of the street, here, the messengers of God separating the people for final destruction,
he’ll ask you, "What side are you on?" If you tell him that, "I’m on America’s side", then another one will tell you where to stand or where to take your stand so that they will not miss you either.
They'll come to another one, "What side are you on?" "I’m on Allah’s side, the Black people’s, the Muslims". "Okay. come go with me." This is the way it will be done. And it won’t be long and you will tell me, "You certainly told us the truth."
This is what the Bible calls the great separation-putting the sheep to one side and the goats to another. That's people!
The goats represent the white man and those who follow him. The sheep represents you, that believe in the truth, and believe that you were born of the truth and that you belong to Allah by nature. Then you will easily take your place.
Be aware that these days and times, in the words that is dropping into your ears, is nothing for you to ignore.
Do you ignore your own life? It is not 20 years to come. It is not the lifetime, unless you get killed accidentally. It’s right at your door now.
I’m satisfied to teach you the truth of this. How it began and how it will end.
This is what I’m doing now, teaching you the beginning of this world and how this world will end. I have everything of that knowledge in my head from God, Himself.
You may say, "When will this be?" I’m not to tell you the day, if I knew it. But God didn’t tell me to do so, nor anyone else, until that day comes.
There is no man that knows that day, that hour. Some of them think they know the year it will come in. I have read that knowledge they have and what they calculate from. I don’t say that they are millions of years away from it, according to what I have been taught, but He’s not going to tell you-the wise one-if He knows that. He won’t tell and nor will I tell you that closeness that God gave me of it.
But I say to you, the time that you live in, we'll soon know no more. It won’t go out this calendar history that we’re in now, which reaches up according to the equalization of Mohammed's calendar - the Arab calendar, I mean. It won’t go ten more years, because they just don’t lie.
When they point anything, why it’s just that. What you read in the Holy Qur-an, it's just that... You don't read no "guess-lie" book. It tells you the truth.
And according to the Holy Qur-an, we are not very far from the Gabriel sounding his trumpet.
We’re at the end of the white man’s world.
This is his beginning that I'm talking on showing you up to this time, that it is time, from the time that he began. If he was to live, according to our calendar history and the scientists, which is right, 6,000 years from 9,000 years of the Arab or the Islamic calendar history, his time is up and a long ways up.
God gives him an extension of time around 60 or more years, due to us. If he had been destroyed right on the date of his time, he would have, or rather, his time, would have destroyed us, because we weren’t ready, and you are not, yet, ready. This is why I’m hastening on to you this truth that you didn’t know.
I know what’s fixing to happen. Allah has told me and I can read it to you or send it to your address. The time is now, and according to the very pre-fixed word of the time by God and His prophets, We are overdue. They're overdue.
They are ready, but as I just said, it is due to us being blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of ourselves and all wrapped up in the belief and faith of white people and their way of life.
You love their way of life, because they made you to love it by not teaching you the way of your life.
We are real righteous people, be we don’t know it, since the devil robbed us of it.
The more you practice the faith of Islam, the more you want to practice it!
And the reason that we teach you is because that you are Muslim yourself. You wasn't made one and we are not making you one now. We are making you to act on the principles of what, by nature, you are.
You was not what you are practicing now, and never was that. The devil got you doing that and that's the way of his life. And you have not, within a hundred years up from slavery, been able to practice his life as perfect as he does, because by nature, he’s that. By nature, you are not!
When you get back to yourself and into righteousness you will love it. You won't want to do the white man’s wickedness. And that makes you, then, for the first time, love yourself.
You must learn to love yourself. It's true that these names that you hear us going in, is not names you should be laughing at or making mock of them. You should make mock and laugh at the names that you go in, of the devil.
He don’t have any names. As the Bible teaches you. He don’t have no worthwhile name and his name will be destroyed from the face of the earth.
Brothers and sisters, I know it was something or another...Everyday I try to eat along when this hour comes in. And so the bell of that time is ringing.
We must learn to create, make, a world, a new world, over the old world of Satan. We must do this. We must have our own. Our own must come to us. We must seek our own as even the Indians out here, in Oklahoma... is trying to seek Oklahome for their first state. They want their own.
Here, you and I, millions of us, while there’s only a few of the Indians, but millions of us don’t know how thy wisdom, and the tact of wisdom, to get our own.
You don’t need guns. Guns you don’t need! You see the Muslims and myself walking and riding around through this civilization without arms. We handle sometimes ten thousand people at a gathering, strip them of their arms and let them go into our place of meeting and you never come around saying that "we had to go kill some of the Muslims, because they was being other than themselves. And they had killed some people".
We don’t carry weapons! We don’t need weapons! If we have God on our side, what do we need with weapons?
If He created the heavens and the earth and the iron and steel that you’re using for weapons, don’t He have power over it? Certainly He has power over it! So this is why we pay no attention to his weapons building, and arms building, which he’s going to try to stop himself from doing.
He sees that we’re an example of people who believe in love and unity of civilized man instead of forcing him, by force of arms, to do so, because that don’t last no longer than the arms is capable of empowering us, to the force of it.
So, He came without arms and I don’t carry weapons myself. And I go everywhere He asks me to go, for a big crowd with no weapons whatsoever but His.
Though He puts His own power around me and under me and over me and I come to you and I speak out boldly.
The first thought comes into you when you have a weapon is killing a " nigger" or a black man, because that’s what was in him. He made the weapons in the desire that the weapons help him to kill you and his own kind.
Let us don’t carry weapons for a God, but the truth. And the power of the truth will protect us, because it’s author is God.
Brothers and Sisters I think I've just about said enough. And I think you have gotten to the birth of your worst enemy ever was on the earth. That’s Yakub!
Yakub, the name, don’t mean an enemy to us, but the man that had that name, he made an enemy for us. But you can be called Yakub or I can be called Yakub, but that don’t mean we are devils or nor friend to the maker -that father of the devil, Yakub.
So Brothers and Sisters I say to you, I thank you are getting hungry, like myself. And I don't want to over-tax you, here, because I will be back next Sunday.
There is many Muslims who used to hear what I am teaching you. They are used to hearing it six hours sometimes or less, but I was not taking it up with them at that time, piecing it apart, showing you the in’s and out of it, like I am today.
So that is why I take about two hours each time, to pull you up, gradually, so when you get up on top, you will know how far you came to reach the top and that you could master your seat up there on top.
See? God said to me, teach you and He will set you in heaven. He didn’t say run you in heaven. He will SET you in heaven.
This is similar to what Yakub taught his people. This means that you will not be no slave to nobody. Not white nor black.
That’s just it, set you in heaven with plenty money. There’s plenty of money here and plenty money all over the earth. He'll take it out of the pockets of nations and bless you and me with it.
So I’m going to say to you that if there’s any one of you that have a question that you want to ask me you may ask, anyone. If there is no questions, then we’re going to dismiss....
Wa-Alaikum-Salaam Brother.
Question: I wanted to know, was Sarah a white woman?
Messenger: Was Sarah a white woman? Really brother, I don’t know if whether she was white or black, but I believe Abraham had a very great love for Black, and maybe he had a black wife. If Sarah was white or black, her husband was a great prophet, and the time that we are now in was revealed to him. His prophecy, mostly, was on the base of us and our return to our own.
[Question]....Ishmael?...I don’t say that she was white and I don’t say she was black, because the Arabs for a long time that has been ruling them was white. After the taking away of the history of us that was in Abraham; which is true that we are following and fulfilling that which was prophesied by him. Whether Sarah was white or black, it has never been much of a concern to me. Because I wasn’t following up Sarah for no particular prophetic sayings in order to bring out some truth, here. Only our woman here, who are sitting under guidance into righteousness, we use Sarah as a very good woman that they could take pattern after. This is the only reason we bring her history.
[Question]....You follow it, believe it, practice it and if by believing the truth and practicing the truth, causes your life to be taken from you then you're willing to die for that which you believe in.
If we believed in Christianity and the white man as a leader for us, we go wherever he tells us to go and offer our life for him and what he teaches.
Okay, now your own has come to you. Now if you do what you said you intend to do for him, then do it for yourself.
I pray, Allah, that I will see you again next Sunday afternoon. And to continue this world's hisotry with you, the secret part of it that you never knew. This is what I'm trying to do to give to you that which they never taught you, which is the truth of themselves and you too. But I don't want you to go out of here, socking them in the eyes and mouth, just because you have learned that you are the greater person of the earth. Don't do that. Go out and show the world that you are the greatest righteous and justified person is on the earth. That will kill Yacub's civlization. Just by you doing right! I thank you. And I will turn you back over into the hand's of our Asst. Minister to dismiss you. As I say unto you in the Name of Allah, As-Salaam-Alaikum.
