'Read these, and treasure them;

they are your life'

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad

Reprinted from FALL OF AMERICA, pages 190-191

The lost-found members of that nation should be taught to know the ultimate aim of this world. God has visited them, and has prepared a teacher (in myself) to teach them, thereby making it easy for them to understand and recognize this world and its secret, ultimate aim. It is even given in the Bible, in Revelations 12:9. There it speaks of the members belonging to the righteous nation, and shows that through deceit, Satan causes them to become as himself -- against the truth, peace, justice, safety and security one would enjoy if he only were not deceived.

Under deceit, the weak minded -- who have no understanding or knowledge of the archdeceiver (the devil, satan) -- are made preys in the hands of the archdeceiver. This will bring about war as a showdown between the God of righteousness and the God of unrighteousness (the devil). It already has begun.

God must fulfill His promise to show Himself as God over all the powers of heaven and earth, and men on earth. As it is written (Thessalonians 2:9), "He comes after the workings of Satan." Satan has been given the power, knowledge and authority to deceive as many as he could before the appearance of God or the universal manifestation of the presence of God. He was given this power in the beginning, according to Chapter 2 and 7 of the Holy Qur’an, and according to the Bible in Genesis 1:26, Revelations 6:4,8, and Revelations 12:3,4.

We have known all our lives that the devil was a great deceiver, an enemy of God; and that he wished to be the victor, with his knowledge of superior arts in deceiving the people of God.

He desires to cast them down, disgrace them and make them accept his deceit before the very face of God in the general resurrection of the dead.

The so-called American Negroes -- as I have repeatedly taught in my articles, sermons and lectures to my people -- are the spiritually dead. They have been touched and paralyzed to death by the archdeceiver through his missionary teachings, his literature, his personal conversation and by accepting his advice.

God has given to me a very strong and invincible truth that will defend, protect and prevent you from falling victim to the arch-deceiver. Read these, and treasure them; they are your life. Ignore them, and it is your death.
