The Time - The Como Study Group-America Kindles God's Anger, Wrath | Google Groups

We all have had some kind of
religious experience; either we went to church, the synagogue or the
mosque and we heard the preacher talk about God’s Judgement. Sometimes
the reverend would say it in a way that would make it so
frightening—and the Judgement of Allah (God) is a frightening thing.
The pastor would get us to act better by terrifying us. There is
something about fear that makes people do things in order to escape
what they are afraid of. When you pick up the Bible and the Holy
Qur’an, you read about the Judgement in a way that is so terrifying
that today many pastors don’t want to talk about it. We want to talk
about the Grace of God, the Mercy of God, the Forgiveness of God. But
very few want to talk about the Wrath of God.


Each of us, as human beings created in the image of
Allah (God), can on occasion become angry. When you are angry, you are
capable of doing that which, under normal emotional circumstances, you
would not do. Anger has degrees to it. I can be angry and have my anger
under control. You may see a fire in my eyes; you may hear something in
my words, but I’m keeping myself under control. But, there is another
kind of anger when we allow it to get to that point where we are unable
to control the reaction that comes from our anger. We reach a point,
then, of insanity. We have lost the balance. Then what comes from our
mouths and hands can be very destructive.


The Bible says, “A wise man will be slow to anger.” If
you visit the prisons, we see many inmates, male and female, who are
there, not because they are bad, but a circumstance came up in their
lives that ignited the passion of anger. They lost control and, in that
moment of loss of control, they reached for something to inflict pain
on the object of their anger. When it was over and the anger subsided,
someone lay wounded or dying, and a human being was sent to prison for
many years because we lacked control of the emotion called anger.


In the Book of Genesis in the Bible, Allah (God) gave
Adam instructions and Adam disobeyed. Allah (God) became displeased and
He was angry with Adam. God’s anger was controlled. He was going to
punish Adam, not kill Adam. When we, in our homes, make a judgement
against our children and wish to inflict pain on them to teach them a
lesson, sometimes we are so stressed out that we literally do terrific
harm to both the body and mind of our children because we could not
control our anger.


Adam and Eve had two children, Cain and Abel. The Bible
talks about Abel and Cain making an offering to Allah (God). He
accepted the offering of Abel, but rejected the offering of Cain. Some
words of the Bible say: “The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his
offering; But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.”



Most of us, when we think we have been disrespected, it
kindles anger. But the thing that has been wounded is your
self-concept, which is your ego, and because you may not have the
characteristic of humility, you see disrespect as a great insult. If
the disrespect is fueled by another passion called envy, then it leads
us to anger.


The Bible says, “And Cain was very wroth and his
countenance fell.” Whenever you are angry, there is a change in your
countenance. “And the Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wroth? And why
is thy countenance fallen?” That’s a good question. God knew why Cain
was angry, but He wanted Cain to examine the motive for his anger. “Is
it my bruised ego that makes me angry? Did somebody really wrong me?
Why am I angry? And why is my countenance fallen?” Then, Allah (God)
said to Cain, “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if
thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.”


When you are angry, sin is right at the door of your
anger, because your passion is about to cause you to break the law.
Allah (God) talked to Cain and asked him to analyze why he felt anger.
There is nothing that hits the ego as hard as being rejected in
comparison to something and somebody that appears to be accepted. In
every family, some children grow up feeling accepted while others feel
rejected. And the more rejected you feel, the uglier your countenance
becomes.


Anger has to be controlled, lest in our anger we harm
what we love. Jesus became angry and greatly disturbed over the
moneychangers in the temple. They were defiling the House of God
because they loved money more than the principles that the House is
founded upon. So, Jesus drove them out of the temple with anger, but
his anger was controlled. He let them know he was angry, why he was
angry and he took appropriate action—controlled anger, controlled
disapproval and controlled chastisement. The result was that they
understood there was another side to Jesus. Though loving, kind,
merciful and sweet, there was another side to him. No matter how good
any of us think we are, we are all capable of doing horrendous things
when circumstances make us angry and we lose control in that moment of
passion.


When you live in a society or world like this that is
founded on racism, sexism and an unbridled materialism, we who have
been servitude slaves, never finding justice, have anger in us. We have
anger, not because we think we have been disrespected—we know we have
been disrespected. If Allah (God) ever asked us, like He asked Cain,
why is your countenance fallen and why are you angry, we could say,
“God, it is because of 400 years of injustice, 400 years of watching
our women raped and disrespected, our children slaughtered. Why
shouldn’t we be angry?” One day, the anger will not be able to be
controlled. Allah (God) is going to let the anger loose like a mighty
hurricane, tornado, earthquake or volcanic eruption. Then, America will
know that the price of injustice is the destruction of the country.


Whenever Allah (God) is angry, His anger is justified.
And when He lets loose His anger, the destructive fury of His power
destroys everything that it touches. The Bible says, “Behold, the day
cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yeah, and all
that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn
them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root
nor branch.” When Allah (God) comes to pluck up the wicked, He is not
cutting off a branch; He is killing it at the root.


Pastors today speak of the goodness of Jesus Christ,
the mercy of Jesus Christ, the love of Jesus Christ, but they are a
little slow in preaching the Wrath of God through Jesus Christ. When
Moses met God in a burning bush, the bush was burning, but it was not
consumed. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the anger of Allah (God)
was so great, yet controlled. The bush never burned, but the fire was
there. Allah (God) withheld His Wrath and sent His servant to Pharaoh
to give him a chance because Allah (God) must not be untrue to His own
nature. He must show mercy and must be willing to forgive even the
worst enemy. He must give you a chance to receive His grace. So He
controls His anger and He sends you a Warner. Then, He sits back and
watches how you treat the warning.


We are in the Time of Judgement. When Allah (God)
renders His Judgement, He wants us to agree with Him. So He is patient.
He will send His Judgement down and then wait on you to become
convinced because, at first you may think God is wrong.


When Allah (God) told Abraham that He was going to
destroy all the people of Sodom and Gomorrah except Lot and his family,
Abraham asked Allah (God) would He destroy the righteous along with the
wicked. God did not say yes or no. He told Abraham that if he could
find 50 righteous people, He would save the city. He gave him a job:
Prove My Judgement wrong.


But Abraham could not find 50. He could not find 40. He
could not find 30. He could not find 20. He could not find 10. God
still tried him. He told Abraham to go back and find one. And when
Abraham came back and could not find one, it said that fire and
brimstone fell on Sodom and Gomorrah that same day. Why? Because Allah
(God) does not want us to disagree with His Judgement. When He sends
His Judgement, He gives you a period of grace that will allow the
wicked to repent and the righteous to understand.


I live in America. It is the greatest country on earth,
but it is the most wicked country. America boasts, “I sit a queen, and
am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” She has bombed out cities of
other nations and brought other nations to total ruin, not losing a
plane or pilot. She is the only remaining superpower and Allah (God)
made her that for His purpose. Will you submit, America, or must you be
taken and destroyed?


When Allah (God) sends down His Judgement, He makes a
decision. He says, “Behold, I make all things new.” Not some things—all
things. Then He says, “There will be a new heaven and a new earth and
the former things shall pass away.” This world is not good because the
enemy of Allah (God) rules it. So when Allah (God) starts judging a
world in which America is the chief, she is the head of a world of
nations that have to pass away. Kingdoms have to pass away and systems
have to pass away. And people who operate systems that uphold the
kingdoms and are in the nations that fight against the Kingdom of Allah
(God) all have to go.

If the unhonorable farrakhan is so dis-satisfied with "our" country, why doesn't he gather up his followers and other ilk and move to a place where he will be happy.

I'm sure he would be welcomed in Sub-Saharan Africa with open arms. It would probably be like heaven to him there with all of his kind.
No more whites to oppress him and where everyone lives like royalty.

Let's get real. If it wasn't for whites, that piece of crap would probably be swinging through the jungle trees capturing and eating his enemies.

Compare the lines of people wanting to enter this country with the absence of lines wanting to leave.

What country in Sub Saharan Africa could say the same?

Only babbling brain washed idiots could fall for the garbage that he espouses.

Can you quote any other than Farrakan? Farrakan has made his career out of instigating trouble - yeah, I said it. I've said it before and I'll say it again. He is not a part of the solution. He's about as close to the root of the problem as he can be.

Are you serious? You believe this crap?

Politics, war, etc. have been around forever. The prophets were talking about what was going on at the time they wrote them. The Bible is timeless much like Shakespeare because the themes exist in every generation. DOn't be duped so easily.

A reply to Mr.Anti-lib Statement "Let's get real. If it wasn't for whites, that piece of crap would probably be swinging through the jungle trees capturing and eating his enemies." According to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad " You have learned, from the reading of history, that a nation's permanent success depends on its obedience to Allah. We have seen the white race (devils) in heaven, among the righteous, causing trouble (making mischief and causing bloodshed), until they were discovered.

2 They made trouble for six months, right in heaven, deceiving the ancient original people who were holy. But, when they learned just who was causing the trouble; they, as you have learned, cast the troublemakers out into the worst and poorest part of our planet earth.

3 They were punished by being deprived of divine guidance, for 2,000 years which brought them almost into the family of wild beasts -- going upon all fours; eating raw and unseasoned, uncooked food; living in caves and tree tops, climbing and jumping from one tree to the other.

4 Even today, they like climbing and jumping. The monkeys are from them. Before their time, there were no such things as monkeys, apes and swine. Read the Holy Qur-an (Chapter 18) entitled: The Cave. The Holy Qur-an mentioned them as being turned into apes and swine as a divine curse, because of their disbelief in Moses.

5 We do know that both of these animals are loved and befriended by the white race, along with the dog. But, all of the divine curses sent upon the white race in these days are not enough to serve as a warning to

God's Special People




Minister James Muhammad and wife Ann Muhammad

Mr SPOYALD, irishoaks, nonnie2 and Big 1952 replies are based on the teachings of the bible as it relate's to the Jewish people.

So, my reply will be based on the teachings of the Bible as it relate to the Jewish people. Now let us see if the truth will set them

Free, if they want to be Free. I will start with this passage from the book of Revelation, which is a warning to thoses who would change

the truth into a Lie. Rev.22:18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

4 : O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.


Ezekiel, chapter 13

Isa 44 One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel



Genesis 25:31-33 Point (1)

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

If Esau was the older of the two brother, and Jacob purchased Esau's birthright,Why?, What is going here? And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 25:25-26

And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac. Jacob took hold on Esau's Heel; What do this mean? 15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. 21: And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. 22: And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 23: And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. 24: And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 25: And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26: And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 27: And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: If we mis the trick that was played on Esau, then we are the trick or we have been Tricked. And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Gen 27:36The to study is Supplanter. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28: And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: Gen. 32:27.

Allah is God

Who is that Mystery God?

Part 1, Chapt er 1


1 For thousands of years, the people who did not have the Knowledge of the person, or reality of God worshiped their own Ideas of God. He has been made like many things other than what He really is. The Christians refer to God as a "Mystery" and a "Spirit" and divide Him into thirds. One part they call the Father, another part the Son, and the third part they call the Holy Ghost; which makes the three, one. This is contrary to both nature and mathematics. The law of mathematics will not allow us to put three into one. Our nature rebels against such a belief of God being a mystery and yet the Father of a son and a Holy Ghost without a wife or without being something In reality. We wonder how can the son be human, and the father a mystery (unknown), or a spirit? Who is this Holy Ghost that is classified as being the equal of the father and the son?

2 The Christians do not believe in God as being a human being, yet they believe in Him as being the Father of all human beings. They also refer to God as He, Him, Man, King and The Ruler. They teach that God sees, hears, talks, walks, stands, sits, rides, and flies; that He grieves or sorrows; and that He is interested in the affairs of human beings. They also teach that once upon a time He made the first man like Himself in the image and likeness of Himself, but yet they believe that He, Himself, is not a man or human. They preach and prophesy of His coming and that He will be seen on the Judgment Day but is not man. They cannot tell us what He looks like, yet man is made like Him and in the image of God, and yet they still say that He is a mystery (unknown).

3 How can one teach the people to know God if He, himself, does not know God. If you try teaching the Christians that God is also a human being, they will say that you are crazy, that you do not believe in God and that you are an infidel. In the meantime, while they admit that He is a Mystery God (unknown), they teach not to make any likeness of Him; yet they adorn their walls and churches with pictures, images and statues like human beings.

4 Can God be a Mystery God and yet send prophets to represent Himself? Have the prophets been representing a God that is not known (Mystery)? They tell us that they heard Gods voice speaking to them in their own language. Can a spirit speak a language while being an immaterial something? If God is not material, what pleasure would He get out of material beings and the material universe? What is the basis of spirit? Is the spirit independent of material?

5 Actually, who is that Mystery God? We should take time and study what has and is being taught to us. Study the word and examine it, and if it be the Truth, lay hold to it. To teach people that God is a Mystery God is to teach them that God is unknown. There is no truth in such teaching. Can one teach that which he himself does not know?

6 If one teaches a thing that he himself does not know, he can be charged with lying to the people. The word "mystery," according to the English dictionaries, is something that has not been or cannot be - something beyond human comprehension. The unintelligent, or rather ones without divine knowledge, seem to delight themselves in representing the God as something mysterious Unknown.

7 Such teaching (a mystery God) that God is a mystery makes the prophets' teachings of God all false. There should be a law made and enforced upon such teachers until they have been removed from the public.

8 According to Allah, the origin of such teachings as a Mystery God is from the devils! It was taught to them by their father, Yakub, 6,000 years ago. They know today that God is not a mystery but will not teach it. He (devil), the god of evil, was made to rule the nations of earth for 6,000 years, and naturally he would not teach obedience to a God other than himself.

9 So, a knowledge of the true God of Righteousness was not represented by the devils. The true God was not to be made manifest to the people until the god of evil (devil) has finished or lived out his time, which was allowed to deceive the nations (read These. 2:9-10, Rev. 20:308-10).

10 The shutting up and loosing of the devil mentioned in Rev. 20:7 could refer to the time between the A.D. 570-1555 when they (John Hawkins) deceived our fathers and brought them into slavery in America, which is nearly 1,000 years that they and Christianity were bottled up in Europe by the spread of Islam and Muhammad (may the peace of Allah be upon him) and his successors.

11 Their being loose to deceive the nations of the earth would refer to the time (A.D.1555 to 1955) which they were loose (free) to travel over the earth and deceive the people. Now their freedom is being interfered with, by the Order and Power of the God of Righteousness through the Nation of Righteousness. For the past 6,000 years, the prophets have been predicting the coming of God who would be just and righteous. This righteous God would appear at the end of the world (the world of the white race).

12 Today, the God of Truth and Righteousness is making Him self manifest, that He is not anymore a mystery (unknown), but is known and can be seen and heard the earth over. This teaching of a mystery God enslaves the minds of the ignorant. My poor people are victims of every robbery. They are so pitifully blind, deaf and dumb that it hurts, but I am going to prove to them that I am with Allah (God) and that Allah is with me, in spite of their ignorance of Allah and myself, whom He has sent. For I am not self-sent and the world shall soon know who it is that has sent me. Allah (God) loves us, the so-called Negroes (Tribe of Shabazz,) so that He will give lives for our sake today. Fear not, you are no more forsaken.

God is in person, and stop looking for a dead Jesus for help, but pray to Him whom Jesus prophesied would come after Him. He who is alive and not a spook. Do you hate me because I represent Allah, the Living God, your Lord and my Lord? Can you, who believe in a mystery God (unknown), trust your Mystery to bring you bread or to defend you against your open enemies? If so, on what occasion did He help you?

13 If God is a mystery, you are lying to the world when you say that you know Him. He wants to be known, it is His enemy (the devil) who does not want God to be known to you and me. Do you refer to God as He, Him! These pronouns refer to a man. Do you say that you want to be like Him. Surely, you don't want to be a spirit without form, as spirits have no material form. Your God and my God is a material Being-the Supreme of Beings.

What’s Troubling America?

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.


A nation is no greater than its service to the weak and the poor and
the disadvantaged of that nation. If we believe in the scriptures,
particularly of the Bible and the New Testament, Jesus lays out a
yardstick that will be the determining criterion of the Judgment of God
of a nation in the last days. Certainly in a country that professes to
be a Christian country based on a Judeo-Christian ethic, this criterion
should be held high as the measuring stick to help us to see how far
off the country is and what danger the country is in by measuring its
distance from the criterion.


What is the criterion laid down by the Master, Himself, who will be
judging? One of the disciples asked the Master (Jesus), when he gave
them the criterion that they should minister unto the sick, the
imprisoned, and those out of doors: “When were you sick and imprisoned
and we ministered not unto you? When were you homeless or out of doors
and we gave you not shelter? Master, when were you without and we did
not for you?” And the Master said, “In as much as you have not done
this to the least of these, my brethren, you have not done it also unto
me.” The Master laid down the criterion.


In America, we have millions today who are homeless. We have many
more millions who are sick, imprisoned, impoverished and weak, and it
appears as though the conservative element of the country is moving
away from care for the poor, the weak, the helpless, and the children
and catering to the desires of those that have. But it is the poor and
the weak who built the country. It is the poor and the weak who have
fought, bled and died to maintain America as a great nation. Now
America is turning her back on the weak and blaming the condition of
the country on the poor, on the Black, on the Hispanic. In reality, the
mismanagement of the wealth and people of this country is the fault of
those who are at the top who have held power, who have manipulated the
masses of the people against the good of America and the good of the
world.


How will America answer to Christ, with human beings sleeping under
bridges and America is spending over half a trillion dollars to bail
out the savings and loan industry, but won’t spend money to bail out
those veterans who fought, bled and died, who are sleeping under
bridges, who have fallen on hard times, whose homes and cars have been
repossessed?






What is America coming to? The cities are filled with crime and
violence. People can’t walk the streets in safety. The elderly of the
nation are preyed upon by wicked, unscrupulous people who sometimes rob
them of their life savings and of their little social security checks.
The babies of the nation are abused, murdered, drowned in hot water,
even put in ovens by their parents. The stress of life in America is
such that some parents can’t handle the crying of children. So babies
are coming to hospitals dying of trauma, shock, their heads bashed,
thrown against the wall, thrown out of windows by parents who have had
enough. Young girls in a sex-mad society are having their sexual nature
titillated by sick television programs, sick movies, sick video tapes,
sick songs from a sick, decadent culture that is using the talent of
gifted people to spread degenerate life in the name of music and art.
Babies are having their sexual nature titillated. Mothers are not home
because they have to work. Daughters are left to be savaged by brutal
men, sometimes their own fathers and uncles, cousins and brothers. And
we ask, “What is the world coming to?”

America the beautiful is becoming America the ugly. They say love
her or leave her. We have no place to go. Some of us will say we will
run to Africa. But Africa is suffering, too. We say we will run to
Europe. Be careful. We say we will run to South America or to Mexico.
There is no hiding place today. The Judgment of God has touched every
nation in every corner of the globe.


This is a beautiful country, but the human beings within it are
being turned into something that God Himself is angry at and sick of.
To make God angry is to incur His wrath. John the Revelator said, “And
the nations were angry and Thy wrath is come. It is the time of the
dead that they should be judged and given justice.” Everywhere you look
people are angry. You get on the subway and look in their faces, you
don’t see peace. You drive your car, you can hardly find humanitarian
gestures. People will kill you over a parking space; kill you over a
place in line in the bank or in the supermarket. Arguments are breaking
out in the home and now the schools are battlegrounds. There is no
peace anywhere to be found.


Not only are the nations angry, but God is angry. He is angry at
what He is looking at—debauchery and filth paraded as morality—and if
you speak against it, you are considered something ugly. If a pastor
speaks against homosexuality, he is called homophobic. If he speaks
against lesbianism, he is not up to speed. He is living in old times.
If we take a moral stand against adultery and fornication, we are out
of touch with reality. If we criticize our government for its
corruption, we are called un-American. If we criticize the behavior of
White people in their injustice toward Blacks, and if we as Black
people want to come together and find some solace and peace among
ourselves, we are called racists in reverse.


So we better not even speak the truth because if you speak the
truth, somebody is going to get hurt. But truth is your best friend,
because truth will give us a mirror to allow us to see ourselves and
how far off we are from the standard of God. Somebody has to tell the
truth. Somebody has to be willing to pay the price of the truth. Truth
is more important than our little positions. Truth is more important
than being a mayor or a police chief or a senator or a cardinal or a
pope or an imam or the President of the United States. Truth is bigger
than us all.


The Holy Qur’an teaches us that Allah created the heavens and the
earth with truth. This universe is sustained with truth. There is no
position of power that can be sustained over any long period of time
based on falsehood and injustice. What did we see in Oklahoma? What was
it that had us mesmerized? It’s a wake up call. White folks have always
thought it was Black people they had to watch out for. White folks have
always feared Black unity as though our unity would mean that we would
do to them what they and their fathers have done and continue to do to
us. How much they misread Black people. They don’t mind us having guns,
as long as we shoot one another. But they only give you enough to get
you in trouble with yourself.


I have warned, by the Grace of God, in the past that trouble would
not come from us, but America’s trouble would come from her own
dissatisfied White people of this nation who are fed up with the
government and the government’s misrepresentation of the Constitution
and of what the founding fathers of this nation set in motion.


Terrorism is an act of desperation of men and women who refuse to
believe that any avenue for the redress of their grievance will be
listened to. Consequently, they feel they must take the matter of
justice into their own hands. When a people are deprived of justice,
their minds become imbalanced. That’s why justice is represented by a
female holding a scale with a blindfold over her eyes, that she is not
to see who you are, your station in life, what your color, culture, or
national origin is, how much money you have or don’t have, how much
education you have or don’t have. Justice should be blind to adjust the
scale; the weight of facts in one hand and the weight of action in
accord with facts on the other, giving balance. And when you live in a
world whose very root is unjust, it is only a matter of time before the
injustice carried on by those in high places reaches down to infants,
and the scale becomes so imbalanced that the people lose the ability to
see correctly, hear correctly, perceive correctly. That imbalance is
referred to as insanity. Sanity and sanitary deals with cleanliness,
and that which is unclean is unsanitary. Unsanitary leads to disease,
and disease, unsanitary, unclean is the same as insane.


Brother Farrakhan, are you saying that every insane person is
unclean? Every person that is insane is possessed of an unclean spirit.
And when your mind is imbalanced, you do things that are unclean. You
will defecate on yourself. You will urinate on yourself. You will do
unsocial things, unclean things. You don’t think you are doing anything
wrong because in your own mind you are all right, because you have lost
the standard by which decency and sanity and cleanliness is measured. A
Muslim could not be a terrorist because no Muslim is so hopeless that
he denies Allah’s sufficiency that he has to kill and maim and
brutalize innocent people to make a sad, silly point.


In the Bible, God says, “I will give you your own blood to drink and
you will be drunk with your own blood as with sweet wine.” America is
becoming a boiling cauldron of gross dissatisfaction. The Honorable
Elijah Muhammad said 30 percent dissatisfaction could lead to a change
that affects 75 percent of the world. But when you get 100 percent
dissatisfaction, it leads to a total change. What you have all over the
earth is total dissatisfaction and this is why Jesus said there would
be wars and rumors of wars and kingdom would rise against kingdom, and
nation against nation. And this is just the beginning of sorrow. There
would be famine, pestilence and earthquakes in diverse places. Is not
that what you are seeing?


The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to me that Justice is a Law that
distinguishes between right and wrong. It goes to sleep with you. It
wakes up with you. Whether you are knowledgeable of that Law or not, it
is alive and working either with you, for you or against you,
regardless to what the courts do. The Law of Justice, the balance that
God set up in the universe, you can’t escape it. The fool thinks in his
heart, “I have gotten away with my evil.” What a fool you are indeed.
God says in the Bible: “Whatsoever is done in the dark, I am going to
bring it forth into the light.” The Holy Qur’an says: “Though it be the
weight of an atom, hidden in a rock and the rock buried in the earth,”
He said, “Yet will I bring it forth.”


The Bible teaches, “Prepare slaughter for the children for the
iniquities of their fathers.” You think you are getting away? My silly
little brother, you reefer smoking, coke using, crack sniffing, liquor
drinking, freakish acting brother, you think you are getting away
because there are no police around? The police are there. Not the city
police, but the police of the Law of God. You use crack and the crack
affects your brain, but not just your brain. It affects the head of the
sperm, and it affects the egg. You are passing on your sin to your
unborn generation. You are passing on your filth and your degeneracy to
your babies, and they will be made to die for your craziness. Nobody
gets away.


In the Bible, there is a creature, a monster, at the depth of the
sea. The Bible calls him Leviathan. You can go in the depths of the sea
all you want, you are not going to see a monster that look’s like
Leviathan. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said Leviathan represents the
destructive force of submarines that are at the depth of the sea, and
they bring destruction, but there is a way to bring those (submarines)
up. He said all God has to do is bring a wind, and let the wind start
coming in a circular motion, turning, whipping the waves, and as it
whips and turns, the waves disturb the submarine on the bottom. The
nose (of the submarine) starts coming up because the water is
disturbing it. As the water further disturbs the submarine it starts
getting straight. It’s coming now. Then the waters part and come back
together, and when you see the waves part and then come back together,
the ship is gone.


That is the same way it is with secrets. You have this thought
laying on your mind, and you have suppressed it to the depth. “I know
it’s there, but”—and all on the top is a false laugh, false this and a
false that because you are conscious that the secret is laying there.
Then all of a sudden God sends winds, turbulent things in your life
that begin to swirl around you. The winds of confusion are bringing it
to the surface, and all of a sudden you may see a little something,
just a word spoken, but the word is telling you about something else
that is laying deep under. All of us have something that we don’t want
somebody else to know. The Bible teaches, “Blessed is the man whose sin
the Lord doth hide ”

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.


This is why I chose the subject “The Gods At War: The Future Is All About You; all about Youth.” You have to make decisions today for your life, and you have to be informed to make the right decision. They say that when war is fought, the first casualty is truth. If The Gods Are At War, who are they? Where are they? Can we see them? Because all of us are in The Valley of Decision, can we be taught enough about them that we might choose which one of them we will follow?
I thank the Mighty F.O.I. and M.G.T., and the Junior F.O.I. and M.G.T., and all our youth whose work in the seminars and meetings over this weekend dealing with the real problems of our young people and the young people of the world, and for what you offered of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to our young Brothers and Sisters. Young people: Regardless of your station in life today, know that you were born to lead tomorrow. Today, I hope to put you in the mind and spirit to accept the responsibility that Almighty God wants to place on the shoulders of young people all over our planet. The last thank you, of course is the greatest of all. I thank Almighty God Allah for His Grace and Mercy, and to let you all know how honored I am that Allah (God) has granted me another year after my horrific operation and near-death experience. I thank Him; I thank Him.

A World in Peril

Wicked people are never pleased at hearing the truth, but we live at a time when there must be present in the world those who are willing to speak the truth regardless of whom or what, and suffer the necessary consequences of telling the truth at the time of the demise of this present world.

The context of this message is a world in peril. The context of the phenomenal rise of Barack Obama is a world and a nation in peril. When you and I think of the conditions in America and the conditions in the world, where in the scriptures do we find a prophecy that fits the condition of America and the condition of the world?

In the New Testament, in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, it reads: “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come; For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. Unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good. Traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.” So Paul says to Timothy, “From such people, turn away.”

We are just not living in a time of universal integration. The hope of every decent human being is to see all human beings loving each other, at peace with each other, enjoying the spirit of brotherly love. That is the hope and the desire of every good person on this earth. The hope is not wrong, but there are those who don’t want that.

You cannot unite with wickedness if you love righteousness. You can’t have fellowship with this world that is in its last days and have the love of God at the same time. Now, either Jesus’ teaching is right, or he’s just wrong. In the Book of James, Jesus said, “The love of this world is enmity with God.” So if you like the way this world has tailored you and fashioned you; fashioned your neighbor, fashioned your school, fashioned your life—if you love that, something is wrong with you. But if you are dissatisfied with this world, and hate what this world has done and is doing to children, to women, to men, to nations, to governments, then you must be a seeker of truth, because it is only after knowing the truth that you will be able to see clearly. Not only see the condition that you are in, but the condition that the world in which we live is in.

The enemy’s ‘litmus test’ for Black leadership

No one can make an intelligent decision without being properly informed. This is why this world wants to control the media. This is why media hype can take you up and take you down, so you don’t know anymore who is really good, because the media can make a wicked man look good and make a good man look evil. That is why people in Jesus’ time said, “Crucify him.” If they were well informed they would never have chosen a thief.

The enemy is working right now. He wants to find a way to get at Farrakhan. What is wrong with Farrakhan that you have to make Farrakhan a “litmus test” for any Black person who strives for betterment; for elevation in the society? The enemy says, “Let’s give them ‘The Farrakhan Test.” Now, I’ve taken tests, but I have never been in a classroom where a test is only applied to one student in the class. If you’re going to give somebody a litmus test, give the test to all of them. Don’t single out one man, Sen. Barack Obama, and say, “Well, let’s give him ‘The Farrakhan Test.’” Why not give it to Senator Clinton?

What are you trying to do to our Brother? Why do you hate him so, that you want to make me a stumbling block for him? That is why you have never heard me make any comment. I love that Brother, and I want to see that Brother successful! I don’t want to say anything that would hurt that Brother, and I don’t want them to use me or the Nation of Islam. I didn’t tell anybody who to vote for; do what you want to do. I have taught you enough sense that I know you will vote your self interest, if you know what your self interest is.

America is spiraling downward

Right now, we can see extreme weather plaguing the United States, from floods, drought and famine—these are no longer just biblical prophecies. We see the drying up of lakes and rivers and water diminishing in certain areas to such a degree that states are now quarreling over who is going to get to use the water. Rare winter tornadoes in the Midwest; powerful Pacific storms with hurricane-force winds, fires, and mudslides; severe flooding in the Southwest; and over 1,000 cities in America experiencing record-high temperatures. Farmland once used to grown corn and soy beans for human consumption is now being used to make bio fuels for industrial consumption, which is naturally raising the price of food. Oil prices reaching over $100 a barrel.

How does that affect America? How much money do you have in your pocket, and how long will it mean anything? The dollar is collapsing against other currencies in the world. China has over one trillion U.S. dollars in her reserves, and they, along with Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia, may now own a substantial part of this nation. America is for sale. General Motors just said they lost over $30 billion. When the automobile industry in America is shutting down and steel mills are closing, you are being put out of a job.

Where will Pres. Bush get the money for the $150 billion he’s going to give back in a “stimulus package”? You know, when your heart is messed up they give you stimulation to keep you from dying, so Pres. Bush is offering a stimulus package to a dying economy. You’re in it; you are partying—but you don’t know what’s going on. You’re living from day to day, and your world can collapse in the twinkling of an eye.

The Gods Are At War

When we come close to home, there has never been as much dissatisfaction with government as we see in America right now. Pres. Bush has the lowest approval rating of any president in modern history. The Congress of the United States is just a hair or two above the president in approval from the American people. When the American people are so dissatisfied with their government, dissatisfaction is what brings about change. The greater the dissatisfaction, it means universal change.

Shootings on college campuses; people coming into churches shooting down pastors? Mothers putting their babies in the microwave? The country is spiraling downward. There is a high level of stress that we see manifested in children 10-years-old having strokes, diabetes, lethal obesity and heart problems. There are new and incurable diseases, viruses and plagues sweeping across the country. And guess what? Every day they are reporting more and more of these sightings of these so-called Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). It is hard for America to admit that a greater intelligence, a greater technology, a greater science is in the world than anything that they know or ever conceived of.

Why is all this happening at this time? It is because The Gods Are At War. And you don’t even know that The War has already started, and you are being victimized right now by the arch deceiver, who sees his world coming down, unraveling. And at the same time, we are witnessing the phenomenal rise of a man of color in a country that has persecuted us because of our color. Yet, this young man is capturing audiences of Black, Brown,
White, Native American, and Asian.

Barack Obama: America’s best hope for change?

If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences, and look at the affect of his words, those people are being transformed from what they were. His language is raising them above their racial, ethnic, cultural, religious differences, and he is welding people into a bond that has never been seen before. You might say, “Gee. I don’t think Barack is Black enough.” He wasn’t supposed to be. If you want a Black leader, there is Reverend Jackson; there is Reverend Sharpton; and there is Louis Farrakhan—we are Black people, and we don’t apologize. But it is difficult for somebody that has an all-Black district to understand the skill and wisdom of a man who is not the Black candidate, but the American candidate, who wants to unite the American people. You may not agree with him, then stand on the sideline and watch. It’s never been done before.

A lot of impediments have been thrown in his path, but he seems to get around them, and there’s more to come. If this man is doing something that has never been done before by any politician, White or Black, where is God in this, and why now? We have never seen Caucasian people vote like this for a man of color.

Let’s look at it for a second: What’s going on? Who is this young man? When The Gods Are At War, you have to understand the kind of world that God wants to bring in against the kind of world that we live in that Satan has brought in. Right now, there are Caucasian people who don’t see Barack Obama’s color. They see that man as the only one able to save this country from itself.

The Valley of Decision

Now, I’m a dispassionate person; I am not political. I am not asking anyone to vote for anybody, because I know in the end the outcome is all in the Hand of God, and those are the hands that I want to be in. But when I see politicians like Tom Daschle saying, “Look, this Obama guy: He’s got something,” or when I saw Ted Kennedy introduce Barack with a passion that I had not seen in Mr. Kennedy for a long time, I said, “What is it that they see?” There is no racism in a foxhole! The hardest racist is not going to tell a Black hand, “Keep your Black hand off of me,” when they are dying in a foxhole! They will say to the Black hand: “Can you help me? Can you help us?”

Some say Mr. Obama doesn’t have experience. Nobody, White or Black, has experience to deal with the fall and decline of a world and the greatest nation in that world. It is not experience that is needed. The Bible teaches, “Where there is no vision, the people perish,” and that is where Mr. Obama is ranking over all of them.

Look at Brother Barack Obama’s cultural ties: His White nurturing; having visited Indonesia; being born in Hawaii—there is not any politician that has that kind of root. He went to Africa, and how did they receive him? Do you think they would trust him in Africa as a President of the United States, that he might help to reshape America’s foreign policy toward Africa? How would they see him in the Middle East? How would they see him in Central and South America? How would they see him in Asia? Whether you are broad enough to open your eyes, this young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better, because a better man may become her leader.

This is why I chose the subject “The Gods At War: The Future Is All About You; all about Youth.” You have to make decisions today for your life, and you have to be informed to make the right decision. They say that when war is fought, the first casualty is truth. If The Gods Are At War, who are they? Where are they? Can we see them? Because all of us are in The Valley of Decision, can we be taught enough about them that we might choose which one of them we will follow?

Master Fard Muhammad: The Saviour Has Come

If the future is all about you, individually; and you, plural; and it’s all about youth, I would like to close my subject today concerning The Man Whose Birth we came here to celebrate.

We have been taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that Master Fard Muhammad had a Black father and a White mother. The man that we call our Saviour was born of the two people. I was on an airplane one day with one of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s sons, Jabar Muhammad, who asked me: “Why do you think Master Fard Muhammad had a Black father and a White mother?” I answered, “So that He could give justice to both people.”

God is real. Satan is real. Both God and Satan have been hidden under a cloud. I am not going into it today, but before this series of lectures are over, you are going to see Satan exactly how Satan looks. That is why we will be hated of all men. You, my beloved Christian family, you do not understand Jesus The Christ. You don’t understand him. I know that seems rather arrogant for me to say something like that, but I am not trying to be arrogant. Jesus is the instrument that God will use to uncover, reveal and destroy Satan and his power to deceive. The Christ figure of the New Testament is the same as The Mahdi in Islamic theology. The Mahdi is a human being Who comes into the world to sit down every tyrant and set justice in the earth. No man; no human could do that unless He was operating under The Power of The Eternal God, so The Mahdi becomes The Manifestation of God in Person.

***

For those of you who believe in Jesus Christ, Jesus is not a little “rooty-poot” fellow. From the Christian perspective, Jesus is the greatest human being in human history. Jesus The Christ redeems the whole of humanity, breaks the power of Satan, crushes Satan’s world and brings in a new and better world where human beings can live together in peace and brotherhood. When the scriptures talk of Christ, and when they talk about The Mahdi, they never talk in racial terms. With Christ there is no Jew, no Greek, no male, no female, no bond and no free. All are one in Christ.

When you look at the line from Prophet Muhammad to Muhammad The Mahdi, you can’t bring color into it. In reality, you defile Islam because The Mahdi, from the lineage of the Prophet, is not to set up one color against another; one race against another; one ethnicity against another—The Mahdi is to raise human beings where color sinks into insignificance, and character and moral correctness is the yard stick by which you measure True Greatness.

Master Fard Muhammad looked White, but he was not White. That made it easier for Him to come in among us. White people didn’t suspect Him because He looked like one of their own. The scripture says, “I come as a thief in the night. I come without observation.” Somebody came; how do you know? Because things have never been the same since He came for Black people. We have been constantly on the move; moving on up. There is no stopping us now! God is not raising us that we should be mockers of other people or that we should talk about how great we are and how little they are. God is raising us to do a great service for our people and for the whole of humanity.

Master Fard Muhammad first talked to us on our Blackness. He was of a Black father and a White mother, but He knew that the enemy had robbed us of the knowledge of self, so He talked to us on our Blackness to try to get us to see the value of who we are. Master Fard Muhammad taught us the nature of the Caucasian people; how they came into existence and their purpose. It wasn’t about hate. It was about absolute science. Master Fard Muhammad wasn’t trying to make a nation of haters; He was trying to raise a Nation of Scientists who are going to have to deal with the whole human family and the problems of the human family, starting first with the problems of self.

A Herald for The Messiah

Some people think Barack Obama should wait 10-12 years before he running for president, thinking that he would be more “seasoned” and “mature.” But America doesn’t have that long to wait, at the rate she’s going.

Barack Obama said “My time is now.” Don’t worry about his shoulders; God never lays on a soul a burden beyond its scope. Would God allow Barack to be president of a country that has been so racist; so evil in its mistreatment of Hispanics, Native Americans, Indians, Blacks? Would God do something like that? Yes, of course He would. That is to show you that the stone that the builders have rejected is becoming the headstone of the corner. This is a sign to you. It is the time of our rise. It is the time that we should take our place. The Future is All About You.

I ask that we pray for our Brother, Barack Obama. I am not asking for votes. I am asking a Nation—not just the Nation of Islam, but all people of good will—to pray for this young man. Pray for his family. Pray for his blessed wife and children, we don’t want to see another Coretta Scott King.

This man says he not only is talking about changing who sits in the White House; he is talking about changing the mindset of those that led us into the war in Iraq. Did you hear Alan Greenspan, the former head of the Federal Reserve, say that the war in Iraq is all about oil? You mean our sons and our daughters are dying and being maimed over America’s junkie spirit toward oil? Did you read that the amount of oil that is under the ground in Iraq is $30 trillion? That is why Republican Presidential candidate John McCain said, “We need to stay there about a hundred years. We need to make sure that we get this thing.”

Brothers and Sisters, Barack Obama, to me, is a herald of The Messiah. Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you that something new; something better is on the way. Do you know the kind of fear that he is evoking in those that have the mindset that sent America to war? Do you think the international bankers that control all the politicians of the world are going to allow this young man to change the mindset of those that rule who are really Satanic? What is in their hearts toward that young man?

Our Youth: God’s Instruments for Universal Change

One of the Brothers went to a shop the other day, and the Caucasian owner of the shop said, “You all do everything in your power, please, to help Barack Obama win because if he loses, all of us are lost.” Now, just think about what it took for a man to come out of his mouth like that. Barack Obama is not The Messiah for sure, but any time he gives you a sign of uniting races, ethnic groups, ideologies, religions, and makes people feel a sense of oneness, that is not necessarily Satan’s work. That is, I believe, The Work of God.

I thank Master Fard Muhammad for His coming. I thank Master Fard Muhammad for raising the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I thank Allah (God) for sparing my life as we go through these trying times. We must clean up our lives, clean up our communities.

Young people: You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change. That is why Barack Obama has captured the youth, and he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That is a sign: When The Messiah speaks, the youth will hear. And The Messiah is absolutely speaking.

Thank you. As-Salaam Alaikum.
