The Theology of Time

September 10,1972

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad

We are living in the Day of Judgment and we are forever on that subject. We are not taking any subject that we don’t add the Judgment to.

We have been teaching on the Theology of Time. Of course that is our subject all the time.

The coming of Allah and the presence of Allah, we would like to know why did Allah come? What does He want with us and why is it so important that He come in person?

We must remember that we have been taught that God was a spirit and can’t be seen.

A lot of our people believe it the way the enemy has written it, that, "You can’t see God and live."

The God of Freedom, Justice and Equality is Who we want to see, to live!

The God that we can’t see is the God that won’t let us live.

We enjoyed our visitor yesterday, the Sultan of Ethiopia. He had dinner with us and we really had a good time.

He was laughing when he came in and he was laughing when he left. Oh, he is a great man. He and his company of interpreters of the English language. He was really happy. I’m going to try visiting him again.

I have been to Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, which they call it. I’m going to his Mosque there. I looked at it when I was there, but I didn’t go in.

If I go back to Ethiopia, I’m going to visit that Mosque. It is the most beautiful building there in the city. I told him that next time I go to Ethiopia, I was going to visit that Mosque of his.

After you get the new Islam, that Allah is teaching us, in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, you’re not going to be too particular about going to hear Islam anywhere, but among yourselves.

We have been here in America a long time. Our brothers didn’t know from where we were kidnapped.

Today, we want to get acquainted with our old brother, from whom our enemies kidnapped, to bring us here in this wild part of the Earth.

Of all the wild places, this is the most wildest country and people who live on Earth. We may say the jungle holds the wildest people; however, they’re naturally wild, but this is a country who’s supposed to be civilized and is yet wild.

We are living in a country which the Bible calls the wilderness. It’s a wilderness of sin, not a fine civilization, but a wilderness of the worst evil and sinful people who ever lived on the Earth.

They are a people who have no moral love for self nor anyone else. It’s a terrible country.

I’m a fellow who’s like this; I love to talk with you. I love making friends with you. If there is anything wrong with my preaching, tell me so. If there is anything wrong with yours, I’m going to tell you.

If you have proof that yours is right, I will join you today. I won’t go back and think it over; I’ll join you today. If yours is not mine and yet is right, then mine must be wrong; so, I would join you today. You would have to prove it.

I was brought up in a Baptist church. When I was a little boy. My father was a preacher at that time. I was in his church. I used to sit on the minister’s lap because my grandmother would let me go up in the pulpit with my father and he would run me out, because I was a very preaching little boy myself. I love to hear people preach, but I didn’t love to hear anyone singing.

Around the age of two or three years old, and going up there in the speaker’s stand with my father. When they would start singing, I would cry. They would frighten me.

My grandmother would take me out and give me a spanking a couple of times. I learned to keep my mouth shut. I guess that’s why I don’t have no singing in my Temple.

The coming and the presence of God! What is the idea of God in coming? What is He coming here for? Since we didn’t invite Him, why does He want to come to us? We have never invited God to come to us other than in the wrong way. We wanted Him to come to us in our heart. How do we know that He’s going in our hearts if we never seen God . We don’t know God if he doesn’t come to us. How could He get to us, if we don’t recognize His presence? We have not been taught to look for a God coming in person. We have been taught to look for God coming in a spirit form. That’s the kind of form we have been receiving. We had never seen God before, in person. We have always been praying, singing, and preaching for Him to come to us in the spirit, but not in the person.

Would we recognize Him if He comes in person? No! We don’t know Him like that. How about praying for Him to come in the spirit? That’s a feeling. You can’t name what God feels like. He tell us in Psalms, "To feel for Him."

I’m a fellow that likes to go to the root of things. The majority of us have been praying for God to come. We pray that, " You come to me." If we did not believe He would come in person, then what are we praying for? It’s a feeling.

"I want Him to hear my prayer so I can feel Him in my soul." If someone comes to you in person and tells you, "I have heard your prayer and I’m here to answer it," then what? Now, you would say "No, no. I didn’t send for you. You look like me." Well then, who would you accept?

You know we could have a lot of fun with one another when we don’t know.

I used to go to church and the preacher would preach that hell fire. To me, it seemed to be so plain, I would be afraid to go home. I mean they could preach it in those days. Now, the day has come for the fire to light upon those who are not the righteous.

Today, you don’t preach it much, because you’re a little guilty. You think that you also would be one of them for the fire. Well, that’s right. The older we get, the wiser we get in this civilization, and the more understanding of that which we used to believe.

The presence of God! How do we know when God is present? What is the idea of God coming?

He is represented by the prophets as coming to seek His own. Who is His own? We used to believe this wrongly. We thought it meant anybody that had been forgiven for their sins. That’s the way we use to believe it. His own, Biblically and Quranically, represents a people who are His own people, and had went astray from Him.

So many parables are spoken of in the Bible to give us an idea of what the people would look like and their characteristics.

We have been told in parables that we are like a man who had two sons. The younger son wanted to go leave his father and go into a far country, live to himself out of the law of the family’s life. His father, willingly, let him go, for he knew the country and the people of that country. He knew that, one day, the son would want to get back.

Jesus put the parable so clearly. He said, "Alas in that land a famine arose and the son who did not want to live under the good law of his family became in want. He could not get a job. He could not get bread and meat; so, he lifted up his eyes towards his father’s house. He said, "I will arise and go to my father. He has bread to spare. Why should I suffer here."

He made up his words he intended to use when asking for forgiveness, "I will say unto him that I am not worthy to be called your son. Make me a servant. Don’t tell them whom I am."

In words he was saying, that ‘I was one of your sons. You are too great for a man, like me, to come in reaching out for the respect of the family and other people by saying that I am your son.’

These are very beautiful scriptures, very beautiful. "I am not worthy to be called your son. Make me a servant of your own, not a son. I’m not fit for that kind of honor." The father said, "Oh, come on son I will represent you." So, he got near the house and he still felt too cheap to go in the families’ home.

His brother looked out and saw his father coming up with this very bad and contrary son, his brother. He said, "Come on in, let’s make merry, for your brother has come home."

He scorned the presence of his brother, because he had lived with rough and scandalous people. He said, "As long as I’ve been here with you, you’re telling me now to kill the fattest calf we got to make merry over this man who has been out among strangers committing all the acts these strangers have committed, and now I’m to represent and recognize him as being my equal. I have not been any place. I have been here with you always." Come on in son.

He could not accept his brother, making him his equal in the house, "No, I will not come in." Then the Father said, "Stay out there son, I’m taking him in the house."

He took this son in the house and represented him to the family. All the members of the family that would not bow to their brother, were made servants of their brother, who had been away a long time.

When the Father saw that they would not respect his word, and He being the power of the family, He said, "Sit him down over there. Put a crown on his head and make him the ruler of the house."

This parable represents you and me who had been away from our native land and people for a long time. The enemy has destroyed us and made us act like himself and look like himself, as near as possible, so that our people would not want to mix with us.

But, a God of ours has come out to meet us. The enemy has just about destroyed us and have taken away our identity; nevertheless, our Father said, "I will go out and meet him."

He looked and he saw his son coming a long way off. Four hundred years is a long way off.

He said, "This is my son. This is your brother, my son."

"I can’t mix with that kind of brother."

He said, "Listen son, you’re alright, but this is your brother that went astray among strangers. I’ll admit son, he went astray, but I went out and met him. He recognizes himself now. He was lost from himself, but now I have found him. He was dead to the knowledge of self, but now, I met him and I gave him life."

Before we knew anything, God was here with us. We didn’t go out looking for Him; He came seeking us.

Who loves the other one the most? "I will search the earth...", He says, "until I have him, and I will bring him again.

Tell Abraham that I will go and bring them again, right here in this same place, where they left from. This is the prophesy He made to Abraham. "He’ll go astray, but I will go after him and I will bring him back again. He must have that which was promised to you Abraham, that I would give. I want to give him the Earth. Strangers are ruling the Earth. I want to give it to him. It’s his Earth. Abraham, I’m going after them. I’m going to search the whole Earth until I find him, and those enemies that have him. I will bring him back and I will miserably destroy his enemies."

He has come and found us! Now, He wants to take you and me home again by going to war with the enemy.

In order to get the Prodigal Son to thinking of a home, He went to work on the land that he was in.

In that land, the book says, a great famine arose and the poor boy became in want. He couldn’t get a job. He had nothing fit to eat, only what the hogs ate.

In his Fathers house, they didn’t allow hog around there. The enemy knows that; so, he gave him a job he knows he didn’t want. "Go feed my swine". The boy’s religion was such that he should not even touch a swine, nor have a swine near him. He was a Muslim. "I don’t like this job, but I’m so hungry that I could eat the corn the hogs are eating."

Remember brother, this has not passed, it’s to come here. These parables are directed towards you and me. God loves His people. He loves that boy regardless to his sins. He loves him. I’m going after them. He promised Abraham that He would do so. "I can’t break my word with my friend Abraham, I must go after him."

We have been hear for 400 years; yet, never seeking Allah. We didn’t know how to pray for Him to come to us. Now, today, He’s searching the Earth fo His people. He finally found them and He was like a man finding a jewel or a pearl that He’s not able to take, because their is an enemy that owns the beautiful jewel at the time.

He goes and hides them. He goes and prepares to get that land and take it. He’s after the country.

He’s so powerful and well able to make war with the enemy and overcome him. He sets the clouds against him. He sets the wind against him. He sets the snow against him. He sets the ice against him. He sets his own friends against him. He makes it impossible for him to agree and get along in peace with anyone. He’s after him.

After doing that, He goes and taps his farms by sending enemies like worms and bugs into his farms, that eat up his crops.

He’s a terrible God to fight, as Habakkuk said in his book of prophesy. He said that he, himself, hoped that he would be here when God rises up and invades the people. He hoped he would be here.

He’s the warrior from the beginning. He was a such warrior in the beginning, that when He appeared Himself, He made Himself to appear out of darkness. He went to war, then, with the darkness by raising up light to lighten up the darkness, so the darkness could not triumph over Him.

He made a great light for Himself. He made His own house to rotate, so that it would stay in and of out the light, making it a sign for us here today. Praise be to Allah!

What was His idea, spiritually, for coming to us and bringing us out of darkness into His marvelous spiritual light? What does He want with a people who’s like the Prodigal Son? A people who had not served God, but served the enemies. What does He want with us?

He doesn’t want us as we are. The Holy Qur’an says, "He will cause us to grow into a new growth, and make us new again."

This is to rid us of the mark of the enemies. That’s a good God isn’t He? He hates the enemy so much so that He removes the scar or the coloring of the enemy from us and changes us into a new growth.

No more shall you go along with the scars which the enemy put on you. Allah will put you into a new growth and make you look like Him. As the epistle of Paul says, "We don’t know what we will be like but we will be like Him."

What does He want to come to us for? To take us and give to us that which by nature belongs to us.

We were brought from our home, following and worshipping an enemy. Now, the enemy has made us like himself, both spiritually and physically, so that God would not want us, but He does.

It is written that He would seek and find us, then bring us back to our native people and country. Yet, the enemy has spoiled us so much. What does God want with such a spoiled people, who will run from Him, who will hate and curse Him out to His face, and then keep the enemy in his glory, worshipping him as his best friend while he’s his worst enemy and murderer?

What are we talking about, here, is the good of a God that loves you and wants you to be His people.

What will you do for us? "I will give you money, good homes, and I will make friends, for you, in all walks of life. I will destroy those that hate you and bring their kingdom to naught." You say, "I wont follow a God like that?" I say like the Holy Qur’an, "Oh foolish".

"Do you call Me to believe in a God other than my God?" No, no. What is your God doing for you? Nothing, only trying to get you in trouble.

After all of this glory that He offers to you and me, some of us are too proud to accept it; yet, we are in trouble; hungry, naked and living in old, broke down, worn out old houses.

You would rather stay there and worship the enemy, who is depriving you of a good house to live in, just to have him smile and say, "You’re doing fine."

You’re doing fine for him, but not for yourself. I say, we should wake up.

The Bible teaches us that He came to save His people from their sins, not charge them with the sins of their enemies, but forgive them, because they were not at fault. It was the enemies who deceived them and made them worship that which they knew not.

Allah says, " Submit to Me, I will sit you in Heaven at once." You don’t have to wait, like the enemy teaches you, saying, "Wait until you die."

No, you have already died.

I’m saying this to let you know how much love God has for a people who don’t love Him. You don’t even know Him and don’t even want to learn who He is. It is awful.

They want to sit them in Heaven at once. "Well, where is your proof". I’m the proof. I’m in heaven myself and if you follow me, you will get in Heaven too!

Heaven is a place where you don’t want for nothing that you cannot reach. You get what you want of good. Yes, brothers and sisters, that’s right. We have to remember that we are trying to learn to toil and walk into the path of truth, justice and equality.

We must not forget our duties to ourselves. If we see a brother or sister sick who are trying to recuperate, try and help them.

All of you Muslims, help your brother and sister when you find them sick and unable to help themselves. Go to them and see what need you can help them with. Don’t be ashamed and stingy. Go and open up you purse and help that brother or sister who is unable to help themselves as a result sickness.

Don’t send them to me. You have a habit of sending everyone you find to the Messenger, for me to give them some money. You have money like the Messenger. Where do you think I get mine, you give me mine.

Now when the poor brothers and sisters are sick, you give them some of that same help then. This has been coming to me too much.

I had the secretary to write it down so I would not forget it. You go and learn that the brother or sister is sick, and you come directly back to me and tell me indirectly, "Help that one, they’re sick." Why don’t you help them. I want you to remember, when you go to your sick brother or sister’s home, give them something yourself and don’t come hurrying to get back to my home, telling me, "So and so is sick, go help them." You didn’t help them. Do unto others as you desire done unto you.

I had intended to tell you about this. I’m the first one, like a physical doctor, you notify, "So and so is sick, you go help, cause I need my money." You stop that or we’re going to lead you out of the presence of us.

When you were in the church, I remember sitting there watching you take up a contribution for your sick. Continue to do that for your helpless people. Let the brother know, "So and so is sick."

They won’t say another word, because they know he’ll give them something and I won’t have to give them something. You go give brother something and come tell me, "Brother so and so is sick and I left all I could, there with him, to help thim until he’s well."

But no, you tries to find a way to find the Messenger. "Go tell the Messenger so and so is sick", for him to give it.

All I have to give is what you give to me. If you’re going to give it to me and want me to give it to the sick one who gets sick, then where is your charity for the sick? You go and help them yourself, like you did when you were over there in the church.

Do that, and don’t be looking up the Messenger. You know I will do so, but you do so first.

We are a people who are so backwards in that which we should be doing for self, that it makes it hard for a leader to lead you.

We want you to know that when coming into Islam, we’re coming into being a people that do what the law of righteousness teaches us to do. It teaches us to never forget your brother of sister. We’re sneaking around and going around the other block to keep from passing by a person’s home, afraid that you’ll have to give him something. That’s what righteousness and justice will do for you, it will remind you of the good things you should be doing and the evil things which you should be leaving off.

Islam is not here for you and me to take advantage of our brothers. It’s here to bring us closer to our brothers and to our sisters. If we don’t love one another, then how can God love us? If we ask God to help us and with that help, we won’t help one another, He should not help us.

I want you to remember that the day has arrived when we all must be separated and go for self. This day is now fast approaching us and we are living in it. I want to teach you how to go for self, as Allah guides me into the knowledge of how to teach and train you to go for yourselves.

I want you to remember that this is my greatest job: To teach you how to go for self.

We are now farming in nearly every aspect of life. We are farming and trying to grow meat, bread and everything else that we need to keep hunger and nakedness from taking hold of us.

I have now, nearly, gotten our nations of the earth to help me see that you have clothes, and see that you are not going hungry. I have now made such trades with the nations, that I can assure you that if you follow me and do as I tell you to do, you will not hunger nor will you go naked.

But, I warn you to stay out of my path of trying to make a way for yourself, personally. I warned the nations of ours, that if they see you coming with a bread basket to buy from them, I will stop and cut the plan short that I have made with them.

I also will become an enemy of your country and see that you don’t live so happy. We cannot be successful in feeding and clothing our 30 or so million people here in America with anyone of that 30 million grabbing up a basket and running over to the wholesale house and tell them to, "Give me mine separate."

They and myself have talked over this and they have told me how you want them to serve you. I told them, "Go ahead and do it if you want to." I said, But, you may find yourself clashing with me again.

I am, as it is written, the right hand of God, and as the Holy Qur’an teaches you and me, that Allah says in it, that He and His Apostle are not to be overcome. No, we’re not to be overcome. We are together like life veins, and if you try to overcome us, We will send death among you.

This Holy Qur’an teaches the Messenger, "Do not you see that I have sent death among you?" We are not to be overcome. He did that in Moses’ time with Israel. He sent death among them. The Bible says, "A death Angel went around" and that was a very trying time.

Remember, that is directed at you, here. It is reminding you of what I did to an enemy like you. It is a warning that I will do the same to you.

Go to them Son of Man and call upon them to hear the word of the Lord. They’re not going to hear you, because they would not hear me. But call on the winds. Tell the winds to come and blow on these planes that they may live.

This means war, fighting, revolution, and bloodshed. Don’t lose your sane way of thinking in these trying times. Don’t get so happy off the devils’ world of foolishness, less you find yourselves like the Sodomites, waking up in a rumbling earthquake and homes afire. He’s telling you how God is punishing him here and there. He’s warning you of how the earth is trembling in certain places in this country. He knows you’re not going to pay any attention.

They’re not going to pay that any attention until it tremble in Chicago. This is the type of people Sodom and Gomorrah had.

I say, my beautiful brothers and sisters, Judgment is after America. America is in the throws of divine attack. The know it. They know I’m preaching right to you, but they know that you are not going to believe it until they tell you to believe it and that will be when you’re all washed up.

One was bold enough to tell me, "Isn’t this true Elijah, that your people will not believe none of its leaders unless we put our own finger of approval on what you say." I said it has been, but I meant to let him know that it won’t be like that from now on.

Then he told me, "Elijah, I’m sorry for you. You certainly have a big job." I said, " Who made it a big job, was it me or you? He laughed it off.

You know, they can rip your heart open, telling you something they have done to hinder you from being successful in uniting your people, to the God of mercy and truth. They can burn you up. They made him like that, then laugh at you trying to make him other than that. But, Allah has come in person brothers and sisters. He’s with me and I am with Him! He’s angry with the wicked world and so am I. As it is written, they both were angry, for the wrath had come. It was time to get angry, because the enemy was trying to prevent the dead from rising.

God and His Messenger are here for that exact purpose. It is to see that they rise, regardless to opposition. They must rise. God intends to make a new nation out of us, not to keep us like we are now.

Some may say, "Where are we going?" We don’t need to go no place. Hell is made by the people and not by the nature of our reactionary Earth.

We make the hell and we make the Heaven. What is hell? It’s a place where people are disagreeable to live with in peace. Heaven is a peaceful place where people live in peace.

Every man would like to enjoy peace, though he breaks the peace and contentment in the community, he would like a contented place for himself.

My God and myself, we want to see about all of that. Some of you say, "I want to go to Heaven." You make Heaven where you are. There’s no certain place what we call heaven. It’s only that place where a man makes peace for himself and is able to produce the great abundance of nature for his wants.

When we remove evil and the cause of evil, then we are making a Heaven there. The Earth has always been at peace with itself, but the people on the Earth are the ones who are not at peace.

As the Bible and Qur’an teaches us, "He created the Heavens and the Earth in peace." We don’t hear one planet up there racing with the other one or trying to destroy the other planet. They are at peace with each other.

When one seems to drop into space loosing his hold in the orbit of space, this is done for signs. It’s not that they voluntarily do these things, they’re ordered by God to do these things. They show us signs of ourselves.

The roof of the starry canopy is put there for us to learn the wisdom of Almighty God, the Creator, and that is a great lesson. We can study the wisdom in the canopy over our heads, all our lives, and follow after it and we will be a blessed people.

Why is it so hard for us to accept the God of goodness and freedom, and do the will of good? We have to move the hindering cause out of our way, who is the 6,000 year old enemy that Yakub made to be and enemy to us.

Allah is pushing them together, to destroy them at once. You and I, by right and justice, were created to rule the Heavens and the Earth. When we find the disobedient one in our midst, we are to remove him out from among us.

The day has arrived wherein the blue-eyed devil must go. I was talking with the Sultan of Ethiopia yesterday at my home. He was a big heavy fellow, but he was not much taller than I am. Oh boy, he was much larger than me. We had a big time.

You never dream of having such a peaceful and loving time with your brothers abroad unlike these who’re here living next door to you.

Did you know we live next door to each other and hardly ever speak to each other? Someone lives way across town comes up and ask us, "Do Mr. Brown live here," and we never knew he was named Brown, because we don’t associate with them. We don’t act like brothers of each other. We move in the neighborhood of the other, and it’s very seldom that you find our people going over trying to get acquainted with them or to show to the new neighbor that, "I’m your neighbor here. You have moved among us. We want to live in peace, love and friendship together, and I’m over anxious to get acquainted with you." We don’t do anything like that. We can live here, side by side, next door for years, and never know each others names. This is terrible. That shows you how divided we are and how much love we have for ourselves. We don’t have any.

If there is a white fellow living next door, we want to get acquainted with him, so we can show him what a fool we are to love him. It can make me so sick to hear our people speaking to the devil living next door over in his yard, "How you do Mr. so and so; how you do Mrs. so and so."

I live next door to a devil. but they never find me coming out morning nor evening trying to get a chance to speak to them. I never speak to them, unless they speak to me. I’m not seeking their love nor friendship whatsoever. No, I don’t want it. So, brothers and sisters, this poor little fellow don’t have enough love to spare to an enemy for wanting all the love I can give to my brother.

The Sultan of Ethiopia, who visited and dined with us last evening, is a very fine man.

We must school our young children How can we create love and unity among ourselves continually dividing ourselves up with the destroyer of peace and unity among us?

When we accept Islam, put your children in the Islamic school. We will never teach our people to love and respect self as long as we send them to a troublesome devil school.

The schools of the land are at war with schools which are of Islam. They try to break us up, but they were babies at the game.

Allah’s showing them how to break the people up. They have not had no peace since they tried to destroy our school. They can’t get money enough to pay off the teachers; even with our help in taxes.

Our school has plenty of teachers. Here we have so many teachers, that we could hire out some of ours to them, if they had the money to pay for them. Everywhere we begin teaching belief in Allah and His true religion Islam, it puts us to scuffling for a place to build up a school for ourselves and for our children.

I want to get fine merchandise for you and me, not for wealth, but to save you from giving your wealth away to your enemies for his high priced merchandise.

I’m putting in an order for two or three shiploads of food and merchandise for you to eat, and wear.

You are following me up everywhere I go trying to get the same people to sell to you personally. You don’t want that which Elijah ordered. "I want some for myself. How come you can’t sell it to me like that?" They’re complaining and I’m complaining; so, this week, we agreed what they would not sell you nothing unless you put your order in with me.

They wonder how in the world are you ever going to get along being so divided? Everything you see one do, that you like, you grab or jumps on his back to pull him down.

I can get you all you want from the nations of this Earth and get it cheaper than you can get it because you are not going to buy that much.

I want to buy by the shiploads. You want to buy by the hundreds, or thousands of pounds. I want to get hundreds and thousands of tons!

The nations have offered me a very, very, reasonable price on all merchandise coming to us.

At the beginning, I was willing to let you know where I was looking to get that people to sell to you and me at a very, very, low price, but I found out soon as I get it out of my mouth, you flies over there to get yours separate. You don’t want to order with me.

We are talking on this brother and I don’t know who’s going to win, but I think I’m going to win.

If I was like you and I saw you being helped by the nations of the earth into millions of dollars, I would say to you: "Let me live under your flag," but you can’t do that. You can’t go over to your people of the Earth and ask them for a million dollars and they give it to you. They’ll look at you and want to know, "Who are you?"

I am asking people to give me a million, 50 million dollars, 100 million dollars to help this people, here, out of the trouble and mud which they are in. You can’t do that. I can do that for you. Why not let me?

You know this, but you want, deep in your heart, to get something for yourself to rob self. You want to rob your people. Why don’t you get out of that old stubborn, devil way, wanting to rob each other? I think the enemy has robbed us enough.

We should not look at one another seeing if there’s a little meat left on the bone to get off. Don’t do that. Let’s get together and keep anybody else from cleaning our bones.

This is what I’m trying to do for you. I’m trying to help you. "Well, you’re trying to help yourself." Certainly, if I help you I am helping myself.

Being suspicious is a bad path to be on, especially when you are suspicious of a man of God who’s been raised up by Him to lead you into a better life.

I want to see you living in Heaven, where you once lived in Hell. I want to see you passing by each other as though both were brought up in the same family and by the same father and mother. That’s what I want for you.

God has made me love you as He loves you Himself. I want to see you blessed, not proud, but blessed. You don’t want to let me and my God bless you into salvation, out of the poverty stricken condition that you’re in now and the condition which is getting worse everyday.

There will be no jobs. The government is afraid to let their soldiers return home, because they don’t have jobs. The country is going down, down, down, and you can be blamed for it; yet you believe that in that fall, you have salvation. Stick around brother.

I want to see Heaven given to you Divinely. The prophets prophesied that you would receive this from God in the Judgment. You would be given a land for yourself. " It is Allah’s Own Good Will..." says the Bible, "to give thee the kingdom".

You’re the "Thee" and "the kingdom" is America! Don’t scorn me. Don’t be suspicious of me. You can’t win by being suspicious. You got to trust someone. Allah shows you proof that He’s with me by bringing fulfillment of that which is written by the prophets of your Bible. "Look and see," He tell the prophets. "They all come to thee."

"It’s not that you have power to force them into love and submission to you, but I will so that, because you love Me and I love you. I’m going to make all of them love you. I’m going to make all of them to bow down. I’m going to clothe you, like one clothing another one with a garment. They shall hear of thee and they shall come from afar to bow down."

That’s right. Those who come from afar, they will bow down, and they will submit and ask Allah to continue to bless Elijah, because he’s the one.

"Whatever you desire, Elijah, ask for it and it’ll come?" That’s what He told me from His mouth, right here in this city. He said, "You will get it..."

He pointed down to the street and said, you will get it right here; whatever you want.

I don’t want nothing but the freedom of my people and the Earth that they’re on. This is our Earth, not the blue-eyed Caucasian’s.

God didn’t give him not so much as a square foot of this Earth. God didn’t give the devil nothing but time. Now his time is up!

We don’t wait for him to move, we unite with God and move him ourselves! We want to enjoy which is ours by nature. It is Earth. How can the white man claim the Earth or any part of it, when he had no part in the creation of it?

I’m about to try you with fish and clothes coming from the outside of this country. I’ll try you with what you eat, so I can see how you will go along with me, there, when I will try other vital things towards our work of building up a world for ourselves, which will follow.

I can get you all the fish you want to eat, of the best kind, for far less than the price you are paying.

I’m ordering a shipload to try you and see if you’ll buy your own good fish at a very reasonable price.

I’m scattering the order throughout the country. Taste these fish, and stop buying them from your enemies. We are paying enough for a pound of fish to buy a shirt, that’s right.

Think over a dollar and a dollar and a quarter a pound for good fish, that’s terrible. I’ll get you four or five pounds for that! I have sent for every type of merchandise that you need at one-third of the price which you are presently paying now.

We want to do away with our robber. You can’t do away with the robber unless you can come under his price. So, by my Allah, I have the world behind me.

Everything that you need, I can get it for you for far less than you can get it from elsewhere. It is being set up for you now. Those fine clothes and fine shoes, I can get you those fine shoes for less than one-ninth of the price.

Yes, I can tell you where I’m expecting to get a ship load of them, but I’m not going to tell you, because you’ll go there with a market-basket asking for it to be filled at the same price.

You are a terrible people to handle. You sit here and laugh and say, "that’s right that’s right," and before I can get home, you have told all the enemies what I have said. Then he goes to put a barricade up again, like he did to us in Japan.

He told them all I had said concerning the trade in Japan for you. The enemy went over there, set up a higher tax on everything to make it hard for us to get anything. We would have had to pay a larger price.

Now, we broke that down, by our Allah, we are many people and he’s only a few. We broke it up, yet we didn’t have to go to Japan. We have lots of people, and they all have ports. Most of them are in a position, put there by God, to help you. I am now in that position, I can help you, not to rob you, but help you to live easier.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific we are gathering your necessities at such a reasonable price, that you’d be frightened. It would make you think you’re buying inferior goods, but you are not buying inferior goods. It’s just people who would like to do justice by you.

Yes, we have some great things in store for you, but we are afraid to tell you everything, because you will tell the enemy as soon as we tell you what we are trying to do for you.

You got to take it over to the enemy and see what he thinks of it. We’ll put a stop to that one of these days. We are tired of trying to help self and you’re jumping up destroying that self.

Envy and jealousy is the worst enemy that you could house. Just try housing envy and jealousy, the worst that you can house. That’s our greatest trouble, like it was with Cain and Abel.

Cain couldn’t stand to see Abel being respected by God, so he goes out and kills Abel so that God’s respect would be for him, only.

This is the way you are. You want to destroy the success coming to your brother, of which he wants to share with you. You’ve got no time to wait. You are envious and jealous of him. "If I can’t get it now for myself, I will destroy what he’s getting."

We are well aware of your intentions, and with the help of Allah, we intend to beat being jealous and envious of each other out of our peoples’ heart. "I’ve got to have that he has; I can’t wait for it. I want it right now."

We’re got to find ways to destroy that kind of evil. That’s an evil that will never let the nation rise, so we are after destroying it.

We have learned how to get under it and get at the roots of it. I have grieved and cried many times over the way we are being treated by this devil. Allah has spared me to live, so I could lay hold to the handle that won’t break off.

Good-eating fish, caught in good clean water, not in poisoned water of the devil, but in good clean healthy water, where the fish can grow healthy. We are chasing them to give you the best, so that the Bible may be fulfilled wherein it says that, because of Joseph being thrown into the well by his brethren and into the hands of stranger, let all good things come to Joseph.

Everybody wants to see us enjoying the good things of the Earth, but ourselves.

We would rather let the enemy rob us, destroy us, and take our lives from us, day and night, than to turn and go to our God, His religion and to our people of whom we are true brothers.

We would rather die at the hands of our enemies, be mistreated by them and then help them destroy us.

I say, you are going to be a loser. I’m with Allah for you and I will fight you if you fight against Him.

With the help of Allah, I’m going to stop you from opposing each other. Unite!

The Sultan from Ethiopia was so happy to learn what I am teaching you, that the man was just almost shouting, "Yeah, I was there to see him." These people want to see the Western Blackman get up out from under the feet of his enemy, go for himself and unite with them so they can unite with you.

Get into your own Holy Nations’ name and get out of the name of the devil. Stop calling yourself by his name. We will give you a name. My God and myself, as He taught me, is the "We" I’m referring to. I can give you a name and it will be recognized all over the world, but I don’t want to try making you think that I’m God myself. I can do that and He will recognize that which I give to you, because He has taught me.
