In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful, the Truthful and the Most Just: Who came to North America in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad and raised, or taught, and sent the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to find and raise and teach me:
I greet all of you who are hungry and thirsty for the Truth of religion and the Word of God, and for Truth in general, with the greeting words of peace:
May Allah’s-Salaam-Alaikum.
Those who have questions or disagreements with Us, We want to get that out of the way before We get into some subject matter.
As I look at the world around us, we were put in this world for the purpose of learning what the end of wickedness is, and whether or not you could find peace of mind and contentment on your own, doing things your way.
You notice, people in this world make up their own ways of government. They make up their own religions, they set up their own schools, and they practice what they think will get them peace of mind and contentment.
It’s just like a child. You have some foolish parents who will ask their child, “What do you want to eat for breakfast?”
And the child will ask for something that’s really not good for them, and the parent will give it to them.
That’s one of the reasons why the Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave me a prayer that says, “Guide me among those whom You have guided aright, preserve and perfect me among those whom Thou hath and will preserve and perfect, befriend me among those whom Thou hath and will befriend, and bless me in whatsoever You grant me.”
That’s why I sometimes play that song by Smokey Robinson. You would think that he interpreted that prayer that the Messenger (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) gave us, because he says, “Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.”
So I’ve learned to be like Job in that sense: Whatever God giveth, well if God gave it to me and then God takes it away from me, blessed be the Name of God. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
If he wants to take it from me, well, it’s His right to take it since He’s the One who gave it; and I’m not going to fall out with Him because He took something from me; because I’ve already asked Him to bless me in whatever He grants me, and whatever He withholds from me is a blessing whether I realize it or not. Eventually I will see.
Many of you have done the same thing. For instance, you see people that you thought were your friends, or you thought that you wanted to be with that person; and as you left school and grew up in life, you looked back at the person and you said, “Hmm.”
You were puzzled about what you saw in them, because you were looking at them through the eyes of a child.
When I was a child, my dream was [to have] a 10 speed Huffy bicycle. My parents couldn’t afford one. I didn’t steal one, but I and some of the other brothers that were poor did find frames, and then we bought wheels for them and we built our own bikes out of things that people had thrown away. Then we put our own paint jobs on them.
The main thing is that when I got [the bike], [I realized] it wasn’t all of that. I outgrew it. If you offer me a bicycle right now, I’d ask you what’s wrong with you. I don’t need a bicycle.
It’s the same with a car. I remember when I had this old 57’ Chevy that had been wrecked. You could drive it around the block a few times, but after that, you would have to pull over. It would overheat because it had a busted block in it or something. I don’t know what was wrong with that thing, but I was so happy over that raggedy car that I could say was mine.
I think back at how our minds were so stagnated to value things that really had no real value. But as we grow: 1st Corinthians 13:11 says,
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
That’s why I tell you don’t rob the children out of their childhood. You know, sometimes we get so zealous in trying to make sure that our children don’t make mistakes that we made, that we make a mistake in robbing them out of their childhood. You don’t want to do that, lest they get grown and decide that it’s something that they missed in childhood and want to go back to something that they should have grown out of, [because] you didn’t allow them to experience it.
There’s certain things that you don’t want them to experience. My mother made some mistakes as all parents will until we come into a state of perfection, but one thing that my mother didn’t make a mistake on is keeping me out of what she called “worldly places”. I never developed an appetite for those things.
I used to go to drive-in movies sometimes. They don’t have drive-ins anymore hardly, but I would go to the theater every now and then. Since cable and all of this came up, I don’t hardly go to theaters anymore. But when I was a child, my mother didn’t let me go to those places; so you can’t miss what you never had.
And when I think about it, I remember that boy that went in that theater in Colorado and murdered all of those people because he lost his crazy mind, talking about he’s the joker.
This day is a terrible day and time to live in.
You know, a world is a frame of mind. It’s just like how basketball is a part of the world of sports. You see people that make their living playing basketball. When they get up in the morning, during the off-season, they are in practice. They go practice, and that’s their world. That’s how they live to make a living. They seek livelihood through that world of basketball.
You’ve got people who seek their livelihood through the world of football and baseball and all of those things.
Once I got out of highschool and right before I went into the Marine Corps, for a few months, I used to love going to the pool hall to shoot pool; and I would wake up with that on my mind, to go to the pool hall because I liked shooting pool.
So that is a world, and you go in there and everybody knows everybody. Some people are in there gambling, and they are in that world.
It’s like this world here: it is a world of conquerors and conquests and war machines. Most sovereign nations have their own military and they compete with each other, oftimes militarily, to expand their borders and that kind of thing.
That’s the kind of world that Jesus said was present. Matthew 11:12 says,
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth [experiences] violence, and the violent take it by force.
You notice, I’ve never heard a preacher teach on that. I’ve never heard the people in the church talk about that; because to talk about that, you would say, “Well I thought the kingdom of heaven was where God is in control. How is someone violent going to take that over?”
If you thought about it, it was right there all of the time: that you are walking around on heaven here. As the Book says in Genesis 1:8,
And God called the firm-ment Heaven.
It sounds like I’m saying “firm-a-ment”, but I’m not. If you pronounce the word “firm” properly, it ends with an an “mmm” sound. Firm.
And when you look at the language, water at its natural state isn’t firm. You can’t stand on it. You can float on it. If there’s enough water there and you have the instrument, a boat or something, then you can float on the water, but you can’t walk on it. So [the water] is not firm; but in verse 6, it says,
And God said, Let there be a firm-ment in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
If you didn’t explain that, a boat is a firm-ment in the midst of water. But the boat doesn’t actually divide the water from the water, because the water is all around it there; and you can go up under the boat and the water is still together.
But when you look at the continents, then you see an example of what God made and called “heaven”. You notice, we say “heaven”, but look at the way “heave” is spelled. It’s “h-e-a-v-e”.
You know, I don’t think there’s anybody on this planet who hasn’t thrown up once. You say, “I was in the bathroom heaving.” What were you heaving? You were heaving up, and once you looked at what you heaved up, then you called it vomit.
But what the Earth heaved up, God called it what it is: “Heaven” is the past tense of “heave”.
Whenever the core of the Earth erupts, it does so with great force. It hurls it forth. It’s just like when Krakatoa blew up: it was hurled forth, and you could hear the sound of it. The Book says in 2nd Peter 3:10,
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up [shall be dissolved and pass away].
That’s not my subject. I’m just trying to show you that worlds are thought-made-manifest, and the thoughts that we entertain is what we use. We first create the world in our minds, and then we make what we thought up. We make what we created, and that’s in the Book too. It says that all these things in the Heaven and the Earth is everything that God created and made. Yes. He thought it up, and then He made it.
God made the firm-ment; and these are things that many of us did not ever think that deep on.
Now I have lots of things that I want to share with you, but I think I want to start with some definitions.
Most of us were taught simplistic meanings of words. I remember in elementary school when I was a child, you had words that you learned, and then they told you to draw a line to the definition of it. We’d draw a line, and on a rudimentary or elementary level, we thought that the definition that we drew to the line was it; when the word has many more meanings than that.
So this is how people in this world get deceived. They have an elementary understanding of words and therefore, when you communicate with them, it is almost like talking to an animal in the higher sense; because many people only understand the elementary use of a word; and when you use that word in a sentence that requires more than the definition that they learned, they don’t think you know what you’re talking about. It sounds like gibberish to them, and I’ll show you an example.
We are going to go to the word “revenge”. Let’s see what the word “revenge” is. They have evolved somewhat in their understanding of the language that our Fathers gave them—well that our forebearers gave them. I’ll put it like that. That’s why we are referred to as the fathers. 2nd Peter 3:4 says,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
You don’t hear the Creator talking about His Father. The Creator looked around for someone besides Him, and He didn’t find anybody.
The Black man is the created man. We are a created people. We didn’t have any father or mother. We are self-created.
The mind that you hear addressing you through the Prophets and now through their Lord: Their mind was without father, without mother, and without beginning of days and without ending of days. They saw no end. Hebrews 7:3 says,
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
If you could find a beginning, then you found the end of that person; and you can’t find a beginning nor ending for the Black man because you’d have to find his father; and you don’t find a father for us.
Anybody who thinks they want to talk to me about that, you are welcome to come in and try your luck.
The dictionary says, “Revenge: to exact punishment for a wrong in a resentful spirit.”
To exact punishment for a wrong in a resentful spirit. I’m trying to get you interested in language, because if you don’t get interested in language, you are never going to solve the problem of the archdeceiver continuing to deceive you.
You have to learn language. That’s what the slave master was very careful about: he didn’t ever want the slave to learn his language, lest the slave wind up speaking to him as an equal. He couldn’t speak as an equal if he wasn’t thinking as an equal.
So this is very important. Then it says, “To exact punishment for a wrong in a resentful spirit.”
In a resentful frame of mind. I remember when I was looking at the movie “Tombstone”. Kurt Russell was playing Wyatt Earp. Doc Holiday (played by Val Kilmer) and the other fellas were talking about Wyatt because Wyatt’s brother, Morgan, had been killed by a gang called “The Cowboys”.
Doc Holiday and the other fellas who were helping Wyatt while Wyatt was someplace else (he wasn’t in that circle at the time): they were talking about what had happened and why they were out there; and one of the fellas said to Doc Holiday, “Yeah Doc, if they were my brothers, I’d want revenge too.”
Doc told them, “Oh no, it’s not revenge he’s after, but a reckoning.”
That even made me realize that I may need to brush up on my thinking of these things. So as I thought about it, “revenge” is a word that is like “reaction”. For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction.
So revenge is a spite for spite. So they describe it properly, and the Bible says, “Render not evil for evil”. 1st Peter 3:9 says,
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
In other words, do not go after revenge. Romans 12:19 says,
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
What does the government say when someone commits murder? The government in this country says, “Don’t you go out there and call yourself paying these people back, because you are going to make us have to arrest you. Report the crime. We will arrest them and we will make them pay if they deserve repayment, because we first have to find out why they did what they did.”
And even if they did it out of spite, they are going to be punished after it’s shown that that’s all it was: it was just coldblooded murder. It had nothing to do with something that that person had done to them. That person may have been a stranger to you and you just went there and murdered them.”
The definition of “revenge” says, “to exact punishment for a wrong in a resentful spirit.” Then it uses the word in a sentence like they taught us in school.
It says, “She was determined to get revenge for the insulting remark.”
Then it has in brackets “[avenge and revenge were formally interchangeable, but now they convey diverse or different ideas. ‘Avenge’ means inflicting punishment as an act of retributive justice. To avenge a murder by bringing the criminal to trial. ‘Revenge’ is now defined as inflicting pain to retaliate for real or fancied wrongs. He will revenge himself upon the man who libeled him. Avenge is to exact satisfaction for something that was done, or in other words, to vindicate. He will avenge his partner’s death.”
Now let’s go down a little further here. It says, “Revenge: To inflict punishment in return for injury or insult. To seek or take vengeance for oneself on another person, and in some cases, avenge.”
But it’s not the same thing. So you have to know which word or which term [is being used]. The Word is God. The word is what grants us dominion. Matthew 12:37 says,
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
By your own words, you will be justified; and by your own words, you will be condemned. Why?
How do we know what people are thinking? By what comes out of their mouth and by what comes out of their deeds and actions.
Whenever you see a person acting, you are witnessing the mind carrying out the thought that it had. It’s bearing witness.
Then the dictionary says, “The act of taking vengeance for injuries or wrongs. Retaliation. A desire for revenge. Spite or vindictiveness.”
Think over that. It says, “Spite or vindictiveness.”
I’ll show you an example: What did Donald Trump do when his Vice President wouldn’t go along with him in lying to overthrow that election? He said Pence didn’t have the courage to do it. Then they started saying, “Hang Mike Pence!”
Spite and vindictiveness: Trump was taking revenge for not getting his way.
Now let’s see here. It says, “A desire for revenge, spite, or vindictiveness. He did it out of revenge.”
Then it has subtitles up under there: A and B. It says,
“A. an opportunity to retaliate as by a return sport matches after a defeat. People say after they’ve lost, ‘We are going to get revenge on them!’
“B. something done in retaliation, especially a defeat of a rival who has been victorious.”
Next it says, “an act of retaliating for wrongs or injuries received. Vengeance. Something done as a means of vengeance. The desire to take vengeance or retaliate.”
Look at all of these definitions that they’ve given you for the term “revenge”; but the one that I would like you to concentrate on is “vindictive”, because that’s one of the things that it tells you about. I’m going to keep reading and get to it. I don’t think I’ve read that one yet.
It says, “To inflict equivalent injury or damage for injury received; retaliate in return for it. To take vengeance for oneself or another. To avenge. To exact punishment or expiation for a wrong on behalf of, especially in a vindictive spirit.”
I’m going to read that one again. It says, “To exact punishment or expiation or atonement for a wrong on behalf of yourself or someone else, especially in a vindictive frame of mind.”
Let’s look up “vindictive”. It says, “Vindictive: disposed to seek revenge; revengeful.”
You notice it didn’t say, “Disposed to seek justice”. It says, “Disposed to seek revenge.”
What did We say about revenge as far as reaction goes? Action. Reaction.
Vengeful. Revenge.
That’s not the act of justice. That’s the act of animals. Animals don’t seek justice. Animals don’t have a justice system. You do it, and they react.
This is what gets people all messed up. It’s just like a man who knows that you can’t beat him and provokes you.
Do you remember when at one point in the movie “Tombstone”, Johnny Ringo called the Earps out; and Doc Holiday heard him. Ringo said, “Don’t any of y’all want to play for blood?”
Then Doc told him, “I’m your huckleberry.”
Then they stopped it. Curly Bill and them stopped it, and they said “No, no, Ringo was drunk. He’s just drunk. He’s talking out of his head.”
But at the end, Ringo sent after Wyatt again. Ringo did that because he knew he could beat Wyatt; and when he thought Wyatt was walking up there to him, he said, “I didn’t think you had it in you.”
Then he found out it wasn’t Wyatt; it was Doc. Doc told him, “I’m your huckleberry.”
Ringo’s face changed, and Doc said, “Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.”
Ringo said, “My fight isn’t with you, Doc Holiday.”
Doc said, “Oh I beg to differ, sir. We started a game that we didn’t finish.”
Ringo said, “Oh I was just funning around.”
Doc said, “I wasn’t.”
See, that’s the way people are. They will try to goad you into an arena that they have mastered, and that they know you haven’t mastered as well as them.
I could be accused of picking a fight in religion by an ignorant person, but let’s see: Who started this out here? Did I come here and find religion, or did I come here and religion was already here and I found that it was false?
You can’t say that the police are provoking the robber because he caught the man robbing the bank and surrounded the bank, and told him, “You need to come out here, boy.”
No, he didn’t provoke that robber. The robber provoked the police. You provoked the Lord to come by being out here lying about religion.
So I’m your huckleberry. Come in here and tell me what you’ve been telling those people in your congregation.
Come on in here and tell me about Jesus.
What? Nobody wants to talk about Jesus now? Why not?
Do you know why they don’t want to talk about Jesus? Because Jesus told them in Matthew 12:8,
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
“When he comes, you’ll see.”
Come on in here now and tell me about Jesus and how Jesus loved you. How come he didn’t pray for you if he loved you? He said in John 17:9,
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
See, you don’t know Jesus, but I do; and I know Moses and I know David and I know Solomon and I know Mohammed, and they all knew me; and they knew me as their Son and their Lord.
So, vengeance. It says, “Vindictive: Marked by or resulting from a desire to hurt.”
Not a desire to do justice, but the desire to hurt. Then it says, “spiteful.”
Isn’t that something? We are talking about being vindictive. Remember now: revenge told you about vindictiveness. I want you to understand.
It says, “Disposed to seek vengeance; characterized by spite or rancour.”
It says, “An English law (of damages) in excess of the compensation due to the plaintiff and imposed in punishment of the defendant.”
An excess of compensation due to the plaintiff. Yes. Taking more than what he’s due.
Then it says, “Vengeful. Proceeding from or showing a revengeful spirit.”
It says, “Vindictive: disposed to seek revenge or intended for revenge. [Then it gives the example of its usage in a sentence.] ‘More vindictive than jealous love’. -Shakespeare. ‘Punishments… essentially vindictive in their nature.’”
Then it has another term that means basically the same thing: “Unforgiving: unwilling or unable to forgive or show mercy. Vindictive: showing malicious ill will and a desire to hurt; motivated by spite.”
Not motivated by the desire for justice, but by spite.
Benjamin Netanyahu, I hope you’re listening.
Now let’s go further. Let’s go to “malice”.
It says, “Malice: a desire to harm others or to see others suffer; extreme ill will or spite.”
That’s what’s going on overseas there.
This is what people can’t understand about us, which proves who we are. You can’t name a people who have been more mistreated than the Black man and woman of America.
Name them. Who has been more mistreated than us?
How many of you all think I’m scared of White people?
I used to be. I owned up to it. Yeah, I used to be scared of them; but the optimum words there are “used to be”.
Why do you think they don’t call up here threatening me anymore?
Who’s scared of who?
No, I’m not afraid of him. He has learned to be afraid of me, because I’m not an imposter; and if you think that you want to call my bluff, go ahead. Call it and you will find out. I’m like Mr. Spock there: Muslims don’t bluff. No, there isn’t any bluff here.
I mean, look at what’s happening there with Israel and Hamas, and look at the Palestinian people caught in the middle of that.
They are caught in the middle of spite. They aren’t caught in the middle of justice.
What you are doing over there, bombing Gaza back to the stone age and running your flag in there: you don’t have anything to boast about.
Those people don’t have any army to fight you with. They don’t have an iron dome defense system.
What’s happening there is: you want to kill up a whole bunch of people. It’s just like the Ku Klux Klan and Christian White people. At one time, the Ku Klux Klan called themselves “Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan”; and I think the White Christians in America told them, “You can’t be calling yourself ‘Christian’. Don’t do that.”
So that must have stopped them, because now they just call themselves the “Ku Klux Klan”. But the fact of the matter is, all of them are White people.
If you go after the Klan with spite and vengeance, then you just want to kill all White people, and that would be wrong.
I know that would be wrong, because I know what it was when they would go and just grab a Black man, and go out and kill Black people. Even if a Black person accidentally injured a White person, they would just go and grab some Black people.
So, I’m familiar with vindictive people. These are attributes of the Devil. The Devil is vindictive, and the Devil is malicious. Those are attributes of the Devil, and the White man is the devil.
We know that he’s the Devil because We made him the devil; and that’s his way out. That’s his exculpatory evidence. If I were him, this is what I would say: “It would be unjust for you to punish me for being what you made me. Can the clay say to the potter, ‘Why did you make me?’ And I even told you that since you judged me to be erring, that I was going to go out and make evil fair-seeming to them on Earth and cause them all to deviate, and you said that’s a right way with you.”
Isaiah 45:9 says,
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
The Holy Quran 15:39-41 says,
39 He said: My Lord, as Thou hast judged me erring, I shall certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I shall cause them all to deviate,
40 Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.
41 He said: This is a right way with Me.
Yes, but your Maker did tell you that you had six thousand years to do that; and He told you, “Don’t do it in the seven thousandth year” because his Lord was coming and that’s who I am: I am your Lord and his Lord. Exodus 20:9-10 says,
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work…
2nd Peter 3:8 says,
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Now if you stop, then all of that is forgiven; because you’re not associating anyone with me.
There’s no sense in you thinking Jacob can help you against me. Jacob can’t help you against me. Jesus can’t help you against me. Mohammed can’t help you against me.
Now how many of you doubt that?
By now, you should have looked and looked and looked in the Holy Scriptures, and you can’t find any of them to help you against me.
The only one who helped you was the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He’s the one that reminded me, “Now look. Don’t go blaming them for what by nature you put in them. Blame yourself for putting it in them.”
That’s what the Messenger (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) said to me, and he was right.
So his advocacy for you is acceptable, and Prophet Mohammed said the same thing when he said, “If you meet Allah on the Day of Judgment with sins, the weight of which is equal to the weight of the Earth…”
That’s talking about the Devil himself, because all of the sins that’s going on in the planet, he’s at the head of it.
Prophet Mohammed said, “If you meet Allah on the Day of Judgment with sins, the weight of which is equal to the weight of the Earth, and you have not associated anyone with Allah, He will meet you with an equal amount of forgiveness.”
And since the only place you read in the Bible about somebody having the power to forgive sins is the Son of Man, well it doesn’t take much imagination to realize that the Son of Man is Allah. Matthew 9:6 says,
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
It’s just like right now: I believe Israel started that [war] back up. I didn’t hear anything about Hamas starting it back up. They wanted to stop, according to you all. You know Hamas was losing. Now you want to wipe them off the planet.
I thought you got mad when they said they wanted to wipe you off the planet. So your answer to that is you want to wipe them off the planet? Your lack of religion is now showing.
When did God ever choose a people that wanted to wipe another people off the planet to be His people? When did that happen?
Even when Pharaoh’s army got drowned, the Book doesn’t say that God destroyed everybody in Egypt.
I’m not interested in destroying everybody in the United States. Everybody in the United States isn’t guilty of what was done to me and my people.
See, you have lost your mind, what little you might have had. You are out of your mind, and if the people of Israel are wise, they will take you out of that office, just like the people of America took Donald Trump out of that office. They voted him out. They got him out of there, and you have some of these fools who think they want to put him back in there, but they have theirs coming. Don’t you worry, theirs is coming.
You should have listened to me.
It’s almost too late, but it’s not too late yet. You better turn around. You better get off of that train, boy. That’s a train headed to hell.
May Allah’s-Salaam-Alaikum.
