In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful, the Truthful and the Most Just: I greet all of you once again who are hungry and thirsty for Allah’s understanding of His righteousness: I greet you all with the greeting words of peace: May Allah’s-Salaam-Alaikum.
Continued from Saviour’s Day 2023: Our Time Has Come To Act As One pt 1
Since when am I supposed to be willing to receive blessings from Allah and not trials? I’m willing to receive whatever Allah wants to give me. That’s the way that goes. I’m not here to pick and choose when I will obey God and when I won’t.
Do you know what “Islam” means? It means “entire submission to the will of Allah”.
So that doesn’t leave any space for, “well I might do this but I’m not going to do that though”.
No. All or nothing. The Scripture says in Matthew the 10th chapter and I’m going to start at the 34th verse,
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
No sir. I came not to send peace on Earth, but a spoken Word. A sword. That kept the devil from messing it up.
Let me show you what the devil will do. If you make it too plain for him, he will mess it up for you. Now this is that little Jehovah’s Witness Bible. There’s some new authorized King James Bibles. Do any of you have one of them?
I know I told you to get the King James Bible, but you’re hard-headed sometimes. So, I could use one of them now. [smiles] But this is the 10th chapter of Matthew in this little Jehovah’s Witness Bible. I started at the 34th verse, so I’m going to start at the 34th verse here. It says, “Do not think”—Notice now: King James says “Think not” and the Jehovah’s Witness says “Do not think” I came to send peace upon the Earth.
That’s not the way it was originally written. It says,
Do not think that I came to put peace upon the Earth. I came to put not peace, but a sword.
Now understand something: Jesus came to send a sword.
Tell me something: When you send something, what do you think in terms of? It’s from you, but it’s meant to go to somebody else, because you sent it. You sent the letter.
So why did they see the need to change that? They say, “I came not to put peace on Earth.”
Look at what you have here: If you have a forest, or if you have a city, and you want to have something different: you say, “I’m here to put something in its place.”
Why are you tearing that down?
“Because I’m going to put something else here.”
To say Jesus didn’t come to put peace on the Earth, is a lie. He did come to put peace on Earth. That’s why he sent it; so that when it came time to put it here, it would be ready to be put here.
So by changing that, they added the plagues that’s in the Book. That’s why they are part of the Kingdom Hall instead of the New Nation of Islam. Their part has been taken out of the Book of Life.
If you didn’t understand the Book, you sure weren’t going to understand it when they got through with you. I’m saying this in public, not in private.
When those Jehovah’s Witnesses come around your house, you can’t get a word in edgewise. They don’t even want to listen to you say anything.
They are a bunch of bigots calling themselves religious people. Let’s go back and read it now. Jesus said in Matthew 10:34,
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but [a spoken word] a sword.
And the reason that they spoke it the way they spoke it: As Paul said in 1st Corinthians 2:7,
But we speak the wisdom [or instruction] of God in a mystery…
Why? Because if We speak it plain, the devil is going to do away with all that We told you; so We had to speak it in such language that it would survive this world, and then when the Right One came along, He’d be able to understand it and open the understanding up to you.
What did Abraham pray for? In the Holy Quran 2:129, he said,
Our Lord, and raise up in them a Messenger from among them who shall recite to them Thy messages and teach them the Book and the Wisdom, and purify them.
What have I been doing? Teaching you the Book and the instruction, and removing your misunderstanding.
What is purification? What happens during the process of purification?
Engineer: Cleansing.
Son of Man: Yes. And what happens during the process of cleansing? What are you actually doing?
Engineer: Removing impurities.
Son of Man: Removing impurities. Removing things that don’t belong. They say, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son Jesus, that whoever believed he died for their sins shall not perish.”
To remove that lie that they added to the Book. That’s poison. That’s what the Messenger (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) meant when he said the Bible is a poison book.
[The Son of Man holds up a cup] This is a cup of coffee, but if you pour some arsenic in it, it becomes a poisoned cup of coffee.
The understanding that the White man gave you of the Bible poisoned the Bible, because you trusted him to teach you the meaning, and he gave you misunderstanding.
So you died in the knowledge of the Lord. You were walking around dead spiritually and dead mentally.
This is the day where you must be resurrected. So I am here to resurrect you, and that’s what I am fulfilling.
So just have patience with me, and you will soon see that We are saving you. We are bringing you your salvation, and all you have to do is lay hold to it.
This is Saviour’s Day. I want you all to grow the right way. You notice, as your body is growing, if everything is working the way it should, your mind is growing along with your body.
That’s just the way the Creator plans for us. He doesn’t half-do anything. When I was a child, I thought and I spake as a child. As I grew, as my body was changing, so was my mind.
Yes, that’s normal. You remember, I told you all that I’m not here to try to do your thinking for you. I already know that can’t happen.
There’s fools walking around here that think that they can think for you. I’m not one of them. I’ll teach you how to think for yourself, and then if you don’t have sense enough to do that, you are soon not going to be with me.
We don’t have two heads. We are all individuals. So we have to learn how to think and cooperate with each other based on mutual understanding and mutual benefit.
If we practice what Allah says in His word, to do unto others as you would have others do unto you, to love your neighbor as yourself: if we practice that, anything that we go about doing and we invite our brother to help us, he doesn’t have to ask what’s in it for him.
He can see what’s in it for him just by understanding what it’s all about.
It’s just like children who always worry about who is going to be first. What difference does it make if we are all in line? It doesn’t make any difference because we are all going to get to the front eventually.
Seek Allah’s assistance through patience and prayer. Impatient people don’t like to stand in line, because they don’t love for their brother and sister what they love for themselves.
If you like being in the front of the line, well, that other person likes being there too. They just got there before you.
I’m going to tell you something. We used to have a saying when I was growing up. I didn’t understand it like I understand it now, but they had a little song that said, “You take the high road, I’ll take the low road, and I’ll get there before you.” But we are all going to get there.
That’s what this was all about. We didn’t make the devil so that We could just commit genocide at the end of the world. We made the devil to bring about what’s happening right now: Saviour’s Day.
Then We told the devil, “Okay, stop your work now. It has served its purpose. Now it’s time for you to learn the Truth.”
You see I’m explaining it all to them. It isn’t my fault if he doesn’t let me save him. It isn’t my fault that the United States is suffering what it’s suffering right now, because if you had listened to me, you would have never known what bullet you dodged by electing Hilary Clinton instead of Donald Trump.
I told you what his plan was in “draining the swamp”: It was getting rid of your government, and he almost did. That jury is still out, because you have a Justice Department that used to act swiftly when something threatened this country. That man is still walking around here threatening the country and they have gotten all kinds of evidence on him and they haven’t arrested his behind yet, saying he’s an “ex-president”. He never was a President.
Do you know what happens when you get married, and six months into the marriage, people don’t live up to the vows that they took? You ask for an annulment. Why? Because the man or the woman didn’t live up to the vows they took, and it doesn’t look like they want to.
When did he ever live up to the vow he took to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic? He became a domestic enemy? He was a domestic enemy before he got in there.
If that’s not true, I owe you all the money. Come in here and tell me when Donald Trump was ever the friend of the United States.
It’s just like all of these lowdown people walking around here. You better be glad that you were in the dark, because if I had been here and in charge of this country years ago, you would have never flown a Confederate flag in this country ever again. No, you wouldn’t have.
That’s an insult to everything that this country says it stands for. Go to Germany, and see if you can find a swastika flying. Do they have a Nazi party in Germany now? To be a Nazi is to be a criminal, and to be a Confederate is to be a criminal.
You’re sitting up talking about the Confederacy. The Confederacy is a slave-making state, and a war was fought to do away with it. It was fought and won. Then the winners, after winning that war, went to sleep on the watch, and gave forgiveness to people who didn’t ask for [forgiveness], to people who were not repentant.
When it comes to evils, when it comes to wrongs that people commit against you, there are certain wrongs that you forgive without being asked; but when people tried to take your life and you defended yourself and overcame them, how do you give forgiveness when the people who you were at war against who tried to destroy you, didn’t say they were sorry.
They were running around here saying, “The South will rise again.”
You wouldn’t be saying you are going to rise again if it had been me. You’ve got your people mixed up. That’s where your false religion comes in. Matter of fact, I would have put them out. I sure would have.
What’s the penalty for treason? That’s what you would have gotten, boy. You just don’t know.
I have seen what happens to people who don’t understand what “turn the other cheek” means.
That gives the coward an excuse for cowardice, but God said that His sheep would be on the right hand and the goats will be on the left. The sheep inherit the kingdom; the goats into everlasting damnation. That’s turning the other cheek.
If you won’t receive the good I’m trying to offer you, you’ll see another side of me. There is no such thing as a man who is non-violent, meaning that he will not fight back if you attack him. That’s not non-violence. That’s cowardice.
If somebody attacks you, you fight back and you try to see to it that the attacker doesn’t ever attack anybody ever again. Matthew 10:35 says,
For I am come to set a man at variance [disagreement] against his father…
It’s just like my father: When I joined the Nation of Islam, my daddy and I didn’t agree on White people being devils; but we had a heart-to-heart one day, and when I finally backed him into a corner, he had to laugh. [smiles]
I told him, “The Bible said Jesus had hair like lamb’s wool. The White man’s hair doesn’t look like wool. It looks like goat’s hair.” He started laughing.
That’s when I was a baby, and I didn’t understand what I understand now, because there’s plenty of ways to prove that. Even when they used to have wigs on that had curls in them when they would be sitting up in judgment of people, they had horns like a lamb. They had the appearance of lamb’s wool and white hair, but that wasn’t what the Book was talking about. They put on that front.
So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad brought us a religion. He brought us a religion that questioned everything that we had been taught. He brought us a religion that frightened us, because we were so afraid of White people that anybody that talked about White people, we thought they were rocking the boat, and you just couldn’t do that.
We would say, “I’m getting out of here.”
That’s what we used to say. We were scared to death of White people, but what was amazing is that this little man wasn’t even 5 ft 5”, and he was maybe 120 pounds, and he was standing up there not only talking about White people, but calling them devils; and they were respecting him.
People love Malcolm. They didn’t know what Malcolm was really about. If they had known Malcolm before he was taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they would have been scared of Malcolm; because Malcolm was a pimp, a hustler. He was a wrongdoing brother just like most of the ones who were in the Nation. He was walking around terrorizing people.
The Messenger (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) turned us into protectors; and when I say “us”, I wasn’t really low-down. I have never been low-down. A lot of the brothers that I knew who were some bad actors: when I saw them again, they were saying “yes sir” and “no sir” to me. I was like, “What has happened to you?” [smiles]
And man, I thought about it, and that alone showed me that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad must have been who he was claiming to be, because you don’t make somebody like Charlie and some of these brothers I knew—Man, they weren’t thinking about serving God. But now, all of them are talking about, “All praise is due to Allah”, and all of this. I said, “Let me get on over here.”
Brother Donald was one of the nicest brothers you ever wanted to meet, but there weren’t any cowards in the Nation, brother. And I’m not going to have any cowards following me.
A coward will get you hurt. No. You stand up for yourself. That’s what we do.
I’m waiting on my brothers and sisters to all get in here, because I have someone here that I want to introduce to you that has helped us, and we kind of grew together.
There is much that we have to give thanks for, and we give thanks for each other and give thanks for all that has been done for us.
When you talk about Black History Month, which is what February is designated as, you hear people talk about all of these people, especially Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, and all of these people; but they never talk about the man who taught Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan and all of these people.
All of us have one thing in common: the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. All of the Black people in this country that are so Black and proud now want to pretend like they don’t remember when they used to fight about it when someone called them Black.
It was the Honorable Elijah Muhammad who changed that. Nobody else ever taught us that we should be proud of our Black self. The history of it, the root of it, was the Black Muslims.
That’s what they called us: “Black Muslims”. I remember when I used to get mad when somebody would call me black. I used to tell my daddy when we were growing up, “He called me black!”
He would say, “Don’t you be calling him black.” [smiles]
That’s how sick we were. Now some of you want to act like you’re not old enough to remember, but I remember. You could call somebody a nigga, but you better not call them a “Black nigga”, because those were fighting words.
You would just say, “Oh man, where you been, nigga?” And he would answer, “Oh man, I’ve been around such and so”.
We weren’t ashamed to be called nigga. That’s part of the cross (affliction) that we had to take up and follow. As the Book says in Matthew 16:24,
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
The cross is your afflicted mind. We’re all walking around here carrying an afflicted mind; and while we are looking at somebody else, we say, “Boy, that brother sure is sick”. We haven’t looked in the mirror to see how sick we are; because we are all sick. That’s why we don’t have anything: because we are all sick.
We work for other people, but we will not work for ourselves. Why? The affliction of our minds is that we are Black-skinned White people, and when we look at our fellow brothers and sisters, we don’t actually see brothers and sisters. We see “niggas”; because that’s what the White man sees.
He’s listening to me now. He did that to us, and what did we do to him? We made him devils.
So it’s not the nigga’s fault that they are a nigga, and it’s not the White man’s fault that he’s the devil. [smiles] So all of us have what they call in football an “offsetting penalty”.
That’s why I’m going to try to save all of you; and if you won’t let me, that’s you. It’s not on me. That’s on you.
Most men don’t know the reason they were born. I know why I was born. I was born to do just what you see me doing here: offering salvation to a doomed world.
America was one of the greatest nations on Earth. I’m trying to show you why it’s Saviour’s Day. One of the greatest nations that ever existed, and now they seem to have forgotten how to get along in their own House of Representatives and in their own Senate. Why is that?
Because their time to rule is up. Now they are either going to change or perish. The Scripture says in 1st Corinthians 15:51,
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last [trumpet]:
At the last message of God. What is the last message of God? It’s to take all of the mystery out of God; and We do that by simply letting you know that God is an acronym for Granter of Dominion.
When you read the Book, Genesis 1:26 says,
And [the Granter of Dominion] said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion [grant them dominion] over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
It’s just like if somebody is walking around telling us, “POTUS is going to do this and POTUS is going to do that”; and you haven’t really seen POTUS, but you have heard a lot about POTUS. Or they say, “SCOTUS is going to do this, and FLOTUS was in town yesterday”; and everybody is talking about it, and don’t nobody know what POTUS, SCOTUS and FLOTUS is.
Then someone finally comes and tells you, “POTUS? You’re talking about the President of the United States. SCOTUS is talking about the Supreme Court of the United States. FLOTUS is talking about the First Lady of the United States.”
You say, “Oh, that’s what that means?”
And they say, “Yes, that’s what that means, and you’ve been seeing him all of the time. You just didn’t know what you were looking at.”
The White man has been knowing that God is man. He’s been known that. Go to court and listen to how they talk sometimes. The attorney says, “You’re honor, my client prays that the court will do so and so and such and so.”
Why does he say his client “prays” for something? Is that God he’s talking to up there?
They say, “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you, God?”
And how does he respond? He says, “I do.”
So you know you’re God, huh? Alright.
It’s time now to know the Truth. The Scripture teaches you in Revelation the 10th chapter and the 1st verse,
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud:
Remember, in Revelations the 1st chapter and the 7th verse, it says,
Behold, he cometh with clouds;
Well, why does it say “clothed with a cloud”? Because the Holy Quran teaches you what the clothing is, and the Bible does too. In the 7th chapter of the Holy Quran and the 26th verse, it says,
O children of Adam, We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty;
You know how you read books, and you’ll say, “Turn to the page in the driver’s manual that covers stop signs or that covers speed limits.” We have indeed sent down to you clothing that covers your shame: Covers your shameful acts: men with men and women with women, and all of that kind of thing. To clothe your mind with instructions on how to avoid, or what to avoid in your journey on this planet here.
So it says,
O children of Adam, We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your [sinful deeds], and (clothing) for beauty;
Yes. How many times have you looked at a person’s personality and how they treat other people, and you’ve said, “Oh that’s a beautiful brother or beautiful sister”?
It’s because of the way they conduct themselves. So there’s clothing for beauty and clothing that guards against evil.
How do you guard against evil? You put on the whole armour of God. Ephesians 6:11 says,
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
That’s a clothing. Armor is clothing.
When people try to trick you into doing something that’s wrong, or trick you into doing something that is actually against your best interests or against the interests of those who you are doing it to; when you [have] knowledge that keeps you from being deceived into doing something like that, then you have clothing that guards you against evil. The Holy Quran 7:26 says,
O children of Adam, We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty; and clothing that guards against evil — that is the best. This is [speaking] of the messages of Allah that they may be mindful [of their duty].
That’s what the clothing is: the messages of God to us on how to keep in His good graces so that we could keep the life that we value so dearly.
That’s what kills us. The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God, the Word of God, the Truth is life. We die because we don’t know how not to. If we knew how not to, we wouldn’t die. That’s what it boils down to.
Let me tell you something: The Scripture in Ecclesiastes 9:4 says,
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Do you know why? Because those that are joined to all of the living, they have hope [that] one day the last enemy will be destroyed. For the Scripture says in 1st Corinthians 15:26,
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
There’s all kinds of things that the scientists and the scientific community are coming into the knowledge of.
For instance, scientists are learning how to program the cells of your body to fight cancer. There’s all kinds of things that are on the horizon. All you have to do is stay here.
If you want to stay here, get in tune with Allah’s Word and the true understanding of it. Not your own understanding, but His understanding. That’s what He has guided me to, which is what I am guiding you to.
How would I have ever known that “God” meant “Granter of Dominion” if God didn’t share it with me?
If they hadn’t told you what POTUS was, you wouldn’t have known what that meant. Somebody had to tell you what those acronyms meant, because POTUS is a word; but you learned that it is actually not a word. It’s an acronym. It’s a word representing a title.
That’s what “God” is. It’s a word representing a title. That’s one of God’s attributes. God is the Truth. The Word is God. God is the answer in the time of need. They sing about it, but they don’t know what they are singing. They don’t really understand that the Truth truly is God.
When you understand that “God” means “Granter of Dominion”: If you have the Truth about a thing, you have dominion over the thing granted to you by the Truth.
So what does that make you when you don’t respect and submit to the Truth? It makes you a fool.
When the Truth doesn’t cut it for you, you are a fool. There’s nothing that exists that the Truth didn’t bring into existence, yet you have people who have become lovers of lies and haters of truth; and that’s what you have in this government now: people who love lies and hate truth.
So let’s get this. Revelation 10:1 says,
And I saw another mighty angel [messenger] come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud:
Clothed in his mind. That’s what the Book is telling you. It says,
…And a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
You notice, you have what are called “pillars” in Islam. There are five pillars: the belief in One God; the belief in all of the Prophets and the Scriptures that they brought; the belief in the keeping up of prayer; the belief in the giving of charity; and the belief in fasting.
Those are the five pillars of faith in Islam. So when it talks about pillars, it says,
…His feet [were] as pillars of fire:
The Scripture says in Ephesians 6:15,
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
If you want peace, the good news of peace is [that] you should believe in only the One God whose proper name is the Truth, and all of His Prophets who brought the Truth, who represented the Truth to you.
The belief in the keeping up of prayer. What is prayer? It’s a petition for assistance from the Granter of Dominion.
You should always seek assistance from Truth to achieve whatever of good you are trying to achieve.
Then the belief in giving charity, helping others. And then help your body by fasting sometimes, and let your body purify itself of the poisons that’s in food. If you take care of the temple, the temple will take care of you. Then Revelation 10:2 says,
And he had in his hand a little book open:
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad had the Bible and the Holy Quran open, because his job was to open it up to me. So he opened it, and it says,
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
You remember, the Messenger said, “I could name you. I could teach you His names, but I’m not going to be so smart to let Him come here and find me taking over His job of naming the people.”
Because the Scripture teaches you that the Lamb of God must put His Father’s Name in the foreheads of all of the human beings.
My Father’s Name is the Truth. I’m here to put the Truth in your head. It’s up to you whether you accept it, but I’m offering it. It’s written in Revelation 3:20,
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Meaning, I will speak with him.
I don’t turn anybody down that wants to talk to me. You can sit right at home and listen to everything that I teach. It’s right there on the internet. You don’t have to leave home, so you know I’m not after your money.
You have to get people in the church in order to pass the collection plate. That’s why they want you at the church, because they want to get your money.
I want you. We will get some money, but the main thing that we have to get is on one accord.
We have to forget about money and put the Kingdom of God first. As Jesus said in Matthew 6:33,
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his [understanding of the instruction in] righteousness [which is called “Holy Scripture”];
That’s what we have to get first, and that’s what I’m here telling you and inviting you to; and have invited you, and you have joined me in it. So now Revelation 10:4 says,
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
That’s the way Muslims pray: with our head bowed. Not on our knees. Allah would not stand you and me upright, and then tell us to get on our knees to pray, any more than you tell your son to get on his knees when he wants to ask you for something. Verse 6 says,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever…
To swear by Him that is forever and ever means the Truth. Two and two is four. I swear by that. There’s no way you can mess that up. So it says,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever [for that’s the Truth], who created heaven, and the things that therein are…
Most people mistake the term “create” for “make”. Create is not making. When you create a thing, you think it up. When you think it up, then you can make it; but the first thing you have to do is create it; and that takes place in your mind. That’s where creation takes place. So it says,
…Who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
Time for what? Time isn’t going to end. Time is steadily moving. Well, why does it say “time no longer”?
Time has run out for something. I’ll tell you what time has ran out for: Time has ran out for this world and its wicked way.
This world has proven unable to bring peace to itself and to those who were born in it. There’s no peace in this world.
So they had 6,000 years to do it their way. That’s what the Book says in 2nd Peter 3:8. It 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.
Well then, six days is six thousand years. The White man teaches that in his school, but most of us didn’t catch it. He said, “Modern man is 6,000 years old.”
That’s what he taught me when I was in junior high school. So now he’s over 6,000 years old, and he hasn’t learned anything about how to control himself, or how to treat other people.
Look at how these people treat other people. They see children being murdered, not just Black children, but they see White children being murdered in their schools, and they won’t limit where people can carry their guns.
Even in that movie “Tombstone”, when the man was hanging a sign that said “no firearms within city limits” and the [townspeople] were upset, he told them, “I’m not telling you that you can’t own a gun or carry a gun. I’m telling you that you can’t carry a gun in the city limits.”
What’s wrong with that? Nothing. That’s why they don’t want it. Because there isn’t anything wrong with it.
They want wrong. They don’t want right. They want murder. They don’t want life.
I’m telling you this in front of them. If I’m lying on them, I’ve offered them $50,000 and my life.
Why would they not control the guns? It is because these people who have been flying all of these Confederate flags around here have been at war against this country ever since they lost that war. They have been figuring out a way to try to bring it down, because they never accepted losing the war.
The proof of that is: How do they like to treat us now? They put murderers in [police] uniform and send those murderers into the Black community.
They teach even those who look like you. You saw those five black niggas out there [in Memphis]. They beat that poor man [Tyre Nichols] to death.
Look, man: You are going to meet the right one after a while. You mark my words. You think you can just do what you please.
Get behind me and they won’t do that to you. I’m not walking around with a guard. Do I look like I’m scared that somebody is going to come get me?
They will get in trouble for even thinking about it, let alone doing it. No, we have taken all that we are going to take off of you, Black and White niggas.
If that’s all you want to be, you go on and be that; but you better be that away from me. Listen real close to this. Revelation 10:7 says,
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [speak]…
You are aware that speaking isn’t anything but making sounds, right? You learn that when you listen to somebody speaking Spanish or French, or some language you can’t understand. [It’s just] sounds that they are making.
[To] people who don’t speak English, these are just sounds that we are making, to them. But it’s language to us. So it says,
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished…
What does it mean, “finished”?
The Bible is the greatest mystery book that was ever written. People pick that Bible up, and if they be honest, they are quick to put it down. There’s no fun in reading a Book that you can’t understand.
I know I put it down, because I didn’t understand it. I didn’t pretend that I could understand that, and I didn’t have anything to be ashamed of; because the Book is revealed by the inspiration of God, and unless you are God or one of them, you aren’t going to understand that Book.
I’ll tell you what: Have you ever seen a prescription that the doctor wrote? Did you understand it?
The pharmacist understood it. It’s not even written in English, so they know you can’t forge it; and they don’t teach Latin in the public school systems. You aren’t going to learn how to write and read Latin in the public school systems. You are going to have to go to a special school to learn how to read what the doctor writes.
That’s to protect from people taking forgery prescriptions up to the pharmacy. They used to call it a “drug store”, but I guess they don’t want to call it a drug store anymore. [smiles] It’s really sad.
But anyway, the mysteries of God in the days of the voice of the seventh angel. Notice, it didn’t say the “day”. It says in the “days” of the voice of the seventh angel. Let me show you something here. This is Luke chapter 17, and we are going to go to the 20th verse. Don’t lose Revelation, because we are going to go back to it.
See, this is called rightly dividing the Word of Truth. It’s just like when you want to spell a word: the child (he or she) learns the alphabet in chronological order, A through Z. And when they get through with that, they think they’ve got it. But when you show them how to spell their name, they realize that you have to take it out of chronological order and put this letter with that letter so that you can spell a word.
Well likewise, the Scripture has to be rightly divided in order to get the understanding of it. So that’s what Allah has made me to do. As He said in 2nd Timothy 3:15,
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation…
2nd Timothy 2:15 says,
Study to shew thyself approved unto God…
Who is God? John 1:1 says,
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God…
Okay, who was the Gospel with? Jesus. Who was the Torah with? Moses. Who was the Book of Ezekiel with? Ezekiel. John 10:35 says,
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
He called them Gods unto whom the Word of God came. Well once the Word of God is with you, then the Word is with God.
Okay, so if you didn’t author one of these Books, the Word wasn’t with you. It came to you. I’m the only One who was told to take the Book and eat it. Study it.
When you are studying, you call things that you are studying and reading “food for thought”.
Food for thought. What do you do with food? You eat it. Well what do you do with food for thought? You read it and study it. So Allah told me to study it. Ezekiel 2:8-9 says,
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
He said, “Son of Man, take the Book and eat it up.” This is the 20th verse of Luke, the 17th chapter. It says,
20 And when he was demanded [questioned] of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
Does the kingdom of medicine come with observation? Can you look up and say, “Oh, the kingdom of medicine is coming”? Or does it come in books and knowledge?
Okay, well the Kingdom of God comes not with observation. It says,
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
There’s an exclamation mark behind it to say, “Lo! Look!”
No, it doesn’t come like that. It says,
…For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
For behold the Kingdom of God is inside of you. It’s within you. It’s knowledge and understanding. So it says,
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days…
There’s that word “days”. It says,
…The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man…
You notice, the Bible refers to the Sabbath Day not as the “Sabbath Days” [plural]: It says the “Sabbath Day” [singular]. “The Day of the Lord.” But a day with the Lord is how long? There’s a lot of days in that Day, isn’t there?
Yes, [there’s] a lot of 24 hour days in the Day that the Son of Man comes. So this is being explained to you now, because I am the Son of Man, and I am revealing it to you. I am sounding now. So it’s written in Revelation 10:7,
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God…
What is a “mystery”? Something that’s unknown. It says,
…The mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
So now, if I wasn’t the One that this is talking about, why is it now that there’s no more mystery about God? I mean, I could not get away with saying that if it wasn’t for this internet.
Yes sir?
Engineer: Yes sir, we wanted to let you know that we have well over a thousand new listeners on YouTube today for Saviour’s Day.
Son of Man: Good. I want you to understand something. This that I’m saying is on the air all over the world. I’m not talking in a vacuum. Matthew 25:31 says,
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels [all the Holy Scriptures] with him…
The Holy Scriptures are my angels. Angels are messengers. What did the Messengers leave here. The Bible. What do you call the Bible? You call it the old what?
Audience: Testament.
Son of Man: And the new what?
Audience: Testament.
Son of Man: A testament does not go into effect until after the death of the testator. And when the testator is gone, then an executor of the estate (of the testament) has to come and execute the judgment that is in the testament. I didn’t hear you.
Audience: Yes sir.
Son of Man: I know that’s right. I’m not going to say it if I don’t know it. And if I don’t know, I will speak in those terms when I say something to you. I’ll say, “I don’t know if this is this or if this is that, but this is my personal opinion.” John 3:11 says,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen [and understood]; and ye receive not our witness.
So in the 5th chapter of John, it tells you who the executor of the Book is, who the executor of the testament is; for this is the Judgment of God.
When someone gives you instruction, that’s what wisdom is. Wisdom is always instruction.
Now you’ve got lots of scholars and lots of scientists that have access to the internet. They are all out there. How come you don’t hear any of them coming in here to take me to task on something that I say about what a word means, or what wisdom is, and all of this?
You don’t get wisdom unless it comes as an instruction. I’m just telling you. That’s what wisdom is. That’s why you have to obey it. You have to act on it before you actually get the wisdom of it.
Why do you think James said in James 1:22,
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
What do they tell you in whatever school you go to? It doesn’t make any difference what school you attend. When you come out with your degree, when you come out boasting of your so-called knowledge, whoever hires you tells you to forget what they told you in school; this is how it’s going to go, because school is just the theory.
Practical application is a whole different thing than theory.
In the Matrix, Morpheus told Neo, “You are going to find that knowing the path and walking the path is two different things.”
It’s easy to say, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” You don’t get that by just talking it. You don’t learn the wisdom of that, except when you do it.
It’s like White people. They didn’t understand that. That’s why they had to be scared every time they go some place. You can’t even get on the plane without somebody having to check you.
I pulled in to the airport in the bus to pick up the believers, and the man got on the bus and was looking all around. He gave me a few apologies, and I said, “Don’t apologize. I understand. Check everything. You all have to check people who come through here.”
It’s because he has gone around burning bridges. He never practiced “treating people how you want to be treated”.
Anytime a person is afraid to see you coming, you aren’t a Muslim. Nobody is scared when they see me coming. Everywhere I go, I can go back. There’s no flame following me. Goodness and mercy follows me. Psalms 23:6 says,
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
I don’t try to see how many people I can make angry. I try to make friends wherever I go.
You all know that. You all have been around me. You don’t hardly ever see me. You can’t say I’m getting on your nerves, because I don’t hardly ever be around any of you. I’m out there doing what I’m supposed to do.
Some of you know that you can be around me, and if I’m not standing up here, I’m not talking. I don’t just talk. I talk when I have something to say.
You can be in a room with me, and I can enjoy your company, and I don’t have to say a word. The TV is looking at me more than I am looking at it, but if something on there catches my attention, I look up.
So this tells you about the Testaments. That’s what all of these things are: the Testaments. The Will and Testaments of Gods.
Those men who brought this were inspired; and each One of them, the Scripture refers to them as “God”; and they did have knowledge that would grant you dominion.
The greatest dominion that you could be granted is dominion over this body that you inhabit. Remember, Paul, I think, said it: “He that can bridle his tongue can bring the whole body into subjection.” James 3:2 says,
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
You say, “They made me lose my religion.” You didn’t have any religion. You can’t lose what you didn’t have.
No, you’re not supposed to have a button on you that people can push and make you act other than righteous. There’s a righteous way to deal with everything.
“Righteous” is simply just another word for “right way”. There’s a right way to do a thing, and there’s a wrong way to do a thing; and if you don’t have the best way of doing it, you don’t have righteousness.
There’s many ways to do something, but there’s only one best way. And if there’s one best way, then there’s really only one true right way. That’s why Allah is the Best Knower. The best what? The Best way Knower.
So in this Book here, it tells you in the 5th chapter of John and the 26th verse,
For as the Father hath life in himself;
The Father is the Truth. The Truth is everliving, and has life in itself. The Truth is life.
Think over that. Look what you learned about preserving food and all of that kind of stuff. The Truth guides you into how to do that. The Truth puts those clothes on your back. The Truth put this building over our head.
If you don’t think the Truth did it, let somebody who doesn’t know anything about being a carpenter, build you a building; and you’ll find out. The Truth made this floor.
When you understand that the Truth is truly the Father (the Creator, the Author), then you are on your way to becoming the ruler; and that’s why we learn to humble ourselves to the Truth. It doesn’t make any difference whose mouth it came out of. If it’s the Truth, God is speaking to you. So this here says it all,
26 For as the Father [the Truth] hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
The Scripture says that the Judge of the world is the Son of Man.
You don’t hear any White people telling me that I’m not their Judge. You used to hear them coming in here and clowning and going on, saying “Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga”. I told them that I’m not going to be your nigga forever. You heard me tell them that.
So no, they don’t have anything to say to me now, because they know that I’m not their enemy.
Their enemy is the one that I’m trying to kick out, if they let me. Your enemy is inside your brain. That’s what’s killing you. Your evil is inside your thoughts. Your evil thoughts is what’s making you do those evil deeds. Your father.
Fathers tell their children what to do. Well who tells you what to do all day long? The mind that’s in your head. And when the mind that’s in your head orders your body to do something, can the body say, “No, I’m not going to do it”?
No, you don’t have any resistance.
I’m here to give you some resistance. The Book says in James 4:7,
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
So, you take this knowledge that I’m sharing with you. Take the knowledge that I’m sharing with you, and you will have a resistance to the evil thoughts that inevitably come into your mind.
You know, when I drink this coffee, it’s no longer in the cup. It’s in me.
Well likewise, Allah told me to eat up this Book. He gave the Book to me and opened the understanding of it, and said, “Now take it and eat it up. Now go and speak with my words unto them.”
What’s the name of my magazine? “The Son of Man Speaks”.
It’s no accident that I gave you that name for the magazine, because that’s what I’m doing. The Son of Man is speaking.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad called it “Muhammad Speaks” because that’s what he was told to do.
Well I’m the Son of Man, and the Son of Man speaks now; and everybody who hears me, if they could find something that I have taught that is not factual, they would have brought it up, for the forum is open for that.
I even told them that they can’t even form an argument against Islam now.
I’m not talking about that stuff they have overseas calling it “Islam”. I’m talking about what I’m teaching.
This is the Will of God now.
Who were you praying for when you said, “Let Thy will be done on Earth”?
Well if you’re saying “let Your will be done on Earth”, then you’re acknowledging that His will isn’t being done on Earth; which means your religion isn’t worth anything.
Why did I have to come and start doing the Will? You can’t do the Will if you don’t understand the instruction.
The instruction in righteousness is right here. 2nd Timothy 3:16 says,
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Then how come righteousness isn’t all over the Earth?
You have all of these churches, all of these mosques, all of these synagogues; all of these places [that] people call places of God, places where you can learn righteousness; and you’ve got more hellraising going on in those places than you’ve got in the clubs that you condemn.
I’m not lying and you know it. So, somebody messed up the instructions. If this is instruction in righteousness, and I don’t see any righteousness, well either the instructions are wrong, or the people who have been giving understanding of the instructions are wrong.
Now I’ve asked you to point out the fault that you found in me.
Come on. You said there’s something wrong with everybody.
Tell me what’s wrong with me then. Use the Bible.
Do you remember when President Obama came out, and he was talking about what happened on Wall Street, and he was saying they were doing this and they were doing that; and it was very unethical? But it wasn’t unlawful.
It’s Congress’ job to make laws. The President can’t make any laws.
The [public] wanted to know, “Why weren’t these people arrested?”
Because they hadn’t broken any laws, that’s why. So they go by their law books.
I go by the Scriptures and your law books. What have I done that God’s law and man’s law condemns?
Come on. All of you: I’m not just talking to the people in this room. I’m talking to everybody on the planet.
See, if you know the Word of God, you would know that you aren’t my judge. The Book warned you about trying to judge me. Matthew 7:1 says,
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Luke 6:37 says,
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
In all of your afflictions, I am afflicted. Why do you think that you have to carry yours and follow me? Because whatever burden is in you, I have it too; but I’m still interested in righteousness. I’m not interested in submitting to wickedness, or those wicked thoughts that pass through my mind.
We live in the same world. I have to resist the devil just like you do.
Where is the devil at? Right there. [The Son of Man points to his head] How do you think I know what you are thinking?
You aren’t the only one who has evil thoughts. We all have them, but some of us resist and others submit; and when you submit to your evil thoughts, you are not resisting the devil. And you would have power to resist the devil if you pay attention in these classes, because it will get easier and easier to resist doing something you don’t have any business doing, because you will be your own police.
You like what you become when you stand up for something. It’s just like even in this world: When I was in the Marine Corp and I finished bootcamp, I was proud to put on that uniform; and there were just certain things that I wasn’t going to take and wasn’t going to do, because I felt proud of myself.
You will feel proud of yourself when you stand for right. In a world full of evil, do you know how precious you are to God to stand up for righteousness when evil is all around you?
How rare is gold? Very rare, isn’t it? So it’s called precious metal.
Do you know how rare it is to meet people who truly want to be righteous? I’m not just talking about going through the motions. I’m talking about, when you show them the Word of God, they submit.
That’s your brother, that’s your sister. If you are one, it doesn’t make any difference what they look like. This isn’t about what you look like. This is about what you are. And what you are has nothing to do with your stature or your color. It has to do with what you let go into your mind to determine the nature of your deeds and actions.
The nature of our deeds and actions is determined by the nature of our thoughts. So we must remember to feed our thoughts with like thoughts.
You know, when you go to eat, you find something that’s good for you. Most people that live long don’t have a collage of things that they eat. They have a staple: a stable food intake and diet. They eat this and they eat that: salad, soup, that kind of thing; and they kind of stick to that.
That’s what the whole universe is based on: systems. You notice, we have ten systems in the body; and if we take care of those systems, the body was built to last.
They find bones that are millions of years old, so that tells you that it wasn’t anything wrong with the bone. There was something wrong with what was going on up there in his head. If the bones were built to last that long, the body was built to last. We kill it by not knowing how not to.
Instruction in righteousness is what we need. We don’t need reparations. We need righteousness.
Does a dead body need reparations? I mean, really. The man is dead. What can you do for him? You can’t do anything for a dead body.
Likewise, if every Black person in this country was given $50 million a piece, we would soon be broke again. The majority of us would be broke within a few years, or either dead, because with all of these vices that we have, a lot of money would just help us kill ourselves quicker.
Well, that’s the truth. You need wisdom. You need understanding. The Book says in Proverbs 4:7,
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
That is the important thing, because with all of your getting of wisdom, you get understanding.
You get wisdom from obedience, and as you obey, you get understanding of why you were told to do that; and then when you do it, now you don’t just have the knowledge. You have the wisdom. You’ve got the right instruction that will lead you to the same result every time.
There are people that are fools that keep doing the same thing thinking they are going to get a different result. It doesn’t go like that.
I can’t go on that road (Highway 552) and go fast, and think that at the end of it, I’m not going to hit Highway 61. Highway 61 is going to be waiting on me every time I get on it. That road leads to a particular place.
Your deeds and actions lead to a particular result, whether you know it or not. So if we want our result to change, we must change our thoughts. That’s how we truly change: We change our way of thinking, and that’s what I’m here for.
I’m going a little over four hours this time. I want you to understand that the only thing now that can hold you and me back is us. You can’t blame the White man anymore. The devil isn’t saying anything.
You notice, I call White people devils now, and they don’t say a word. They know they are the devil. They are just glad that it’s not like how they thought it was going to be.
I’m waiting on them to wise their people up and stop trying to condemn the Black man and woman in America for being a nigga, when it isn’t their fault; it’s White people’s fault. They made this out of us.
I remember growing up and taking a bath once a week. Oh, you don’t remember Saturday being bath day right? [smiles] Yeah, well I do. Saturday was when I took a bath. That comes from slavery.
What if I hadn’t experienced that? Then I would be saying, “Man, you’re walking around here and won’t take a bath.”
Well, I had to experience these things, and I understand why now. I know why people drink. I did it. I smoked. I did all of that. Isaiah 63:9 says,
In all their affliction he was afflicted…
Bleaching cream, the whole thing. I did all of that. I hated to see my dark skin. I didn’t want to be Black. “If you are yellow, you’re mellow.” Isn’t that right?
So we had a lot to grow out of, but don’t use that as an excuse. Come on, walk with me, and carry that with you, and we will get rid of our afflictions together. I’ll help you. I’ll show you that the Truth will give us dominion over all of that which enslaved us.
When you know the Truth and you act on the Truth, Allah makes friends for you everywhere. You can’t obey the Word of God and come back friendless. He made us. GM made a car. You can’t mess that car up by following the instructions on how to care for it. It will become an antique if you take care of it like they tell you. It’s to their advantage to give you instructions on how to make it last.
Why is it to their advantage? Reputation. If they can build a car that lasts for generations, do you know what the man is going to say? He’s going to say, “Man, my daddy had one of them and I want one of them.”
God manufactured this body. If we follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to conduct ourselves—how to eat, what to eat, and what not to eat—then these bodies will last a long time, and it will make people want to be like you.
Yes, and that’s how you show people that Allah is with you. If there’s light of understanding in you, let your light of understanding shine that man may see your good works and then they will glorify your Father which is in heaven. So the Kingdom of Heaven is the Holy Scriptures, just like the kingdom of medicine is the medical books.
Usually you introduce your guests at the beginning of a thing, but the Scripture says in Ecclesiastes 7:8,
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:
I have a brother here, that when we met, I was a barber. I’m still a barber, I just don’t cut hair anymore; but I know how.
I used to cut his hair. This was back in 1981, 1982, 1983, and he and I used to talk, and we just hit it off.
He reminded me a lot of what I was telling you about Brother Donald: he always talked when he had something to say. If he didn’t have anything to say, he wouldn’t. We just hit it off.
He was a banker, and when I went to the bank to borrow money, he happened to be one of the loan officers.
He didn’t try to mix friendship with business. You know how they say, “cross your t’s and dot your i’s”?
It doesn’t make any difference how good of a friend we are. When it comes to handling these people’s business, he had to put that other hat on, and make sure that he wasn’t making any bad loans.
If I came in there to borrow some money, credit checks and all of that kind of thing happened.
Generally, if a person is faithful in one thing, they are faithful in all things. They are truthful in all things.
The Scripture says in Luke 16:10,
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
The Holy Quran 3:74 says,
And among the People of the Book there is he who, if thou entrust him with a heap of wealth, would pay it back to thee; and among them is he who, if thou entrust him with a dinar would not pay it back to thee, unless thou kept on demanding it.
If a man will pay you back a dinar (a little small thing), he will pay you back great wealth if you loan it to him. If you have to chase him for a few dollars, you should know better than to give him more than that. You use that as your learning experience.
But I want to introduce my friend that is more like a brother than a friend: Mr. Turner. Jesse Turner, would you stand up, please?
Even while he’s not there at United Mississippi Bank anymore, the effect of him being there and his influence there is still respected. I know it’s respected at that bank, because people talk about him all of the time.
If I start talking about Jesse, they all have great respect for him. We are going to go and buy some cars from him pretty soon. He’s retired but he’s still selling cars.
Jesse, I want you to meet some of the people that you have helped while you were helping me. These are some of them.
Engineer: Can you ask Mr. Turner to come up there so that everybody on the internet can see him?
Son of Man: If he’s not too shy. This is my friend.
Mr. Jesse Turner: I must say, he’s complimented me on what I’ve done for him, but definitely as a brother and from a business standpoint, Brother Marvin has done wonders for myself. What he said about loaning a brother a few dollars and he should pay it back: That’s identical to what we did.
We started off small, and I don’t even know an amount I wouldn’t loan him now. We went into the hundreds of thousands, and God bless him, he’s a man of his word. For real. He’s forreal.
And if nothing else, from everything I’ve heard today, the bottom line of it is you’ve got to be forreal, and for God. So this is impromptu. I’m going to give him the mic.
Son of Man: I gave Brother Jesse an invitation a few weeks ago. I didn’t remind him. That’s how much he and I mean to each other. He knows how I feel about him.
I’m not against using people. That’s what they are there for: to be used, but not misused.
Stop using the term, “You’re just using people”.
If all a person is doing is using you, that’s okay. Don’t misuse you, because if you didn’t want to be used, you didn’t have to be used. So you did it because you didn’t mind being used, but you did mind being misused.
Language is important. When I first met Brother Jesse, he had to get an approval if he loaned out $5,000. He became respected enough in his loans that he got to the point where he was able to do millions.
I have never borrowed a million, but one day we probably will; and that’s the bank that we are going to be dealing with.
Some of you all who are in business: You have accounts with United Mississippi Bank, and they’ve always treated you nice. Many of our people work in that bank. Black people are given jobs in that bank.
You don’t have to wonder where the owner’s head is at. They’re showing you and me respect, and we should respect them and support them.
I want you all to understand that the time truly has come for us to act as one. We are going to need someone from every field.
The Messenger (the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) said that Allah said, “If you get one from every field, I will give you the rest.”
So, I understand that. I understand what that means.
I’m not going to get into it right now, but if you think about it, I don’t have to get into it. So we want to keep doing what we are doing. Brother Jesse, this is your first time in this building, right?
Mr. Jesse Turner: Yes sir.
Son of Man: Yes, I think this was being worked on when you came here last.
See, he’s been around in everything that we’ve ever done. He and United Mississippi Bank was a part of it.
We have never defaulted, and we don’t plan on ever defaulting on anything they loan us. If people trust you, the greatest gift that a person can give you is their trust.
Don’t let them down. When people trust you, don’t let them down.
So I have enjoyed this. Did anyone have any questions about Master Fard Muhammad, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, me, or anything [else] that you wanted to ask? You may feel free to do so.
Sister Pheadora: May Allah’s-Salaam-Alaikum.
Son of Man: May Wa-Alaikum-Allah’s-Salaam.
Sister Pheadora: Son of Man, I’d like to know: Is it possible that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad could have lived while you were the Son of Man? Was it manifested that the two of you were not supposed to be here and that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was supposed to pass away?
Son of Man: Well the Scriptures teach you and me that when John baptized Jesus, John didn’t become one of Jesus’ disciples. He simply told his followers in John 3:30,
He must increase, but I must decrease.
Allah only sent one at a time. When the Messenger completed his task, which was to raise me, his mission was completed. When Master Fard Muhammad raised him, His mission was completed.
You can’t have more than one at a time, lest people will be trying to figure out which one we should follow. The Holy Quran 112:1 says,
Say: He, Allah, is One.
One at a time, one after another. It says, We sent warner after warner. The only time you read where Allah actually sent two, and He only did it and got mad at Moses because Moses kept talking about Aaron; so God told him, “Well he can be your representative.” [smiles]
Aaron messed up, which showed Moses why God didn’t choose Aaron in the first place.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was looking for me, and he taught Malcolm, looking for me, and he taught Farrakhan, looking for me; and he said that if you are going to have a stone that you want to put other stones on, you have to get one that won’t crack or break if you put other stones on it.
So I didn’t crack. When people bring the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to me, I don’t argue with them. I agree with them, and I bring them to you to show you they agree with me.
I bring you Jesus to show you that he agrees with me. I bring you whatever Prophet or Messenger: all of them agree with me. As Allah said in the Holy Quran 3:80,
And when Allah made a covenant through the prophets [saying to them]: Certainly what I have given you of Book and Wisdom — then a Messenger [of the Covenant will come] to you verifying that which is with you, you shall believe in him, and you shall aid him. He said: Do you affirm and accept My compact in this (matter)? They said: We do affirm [we agree, we will bear him witness]. He said: Then [you] bear witness [to the Son of Man], and I (too) am of the bearers of witness with you.
The Word was with them, and now the Word is with me. As the Book says in Isaiah—I don’t want to misquote it, so I have the Book right here and I will let you find it for yourself.
This is in Isaiah the 41st chapter and the 4th verse. It says,
Who hath wrought and done it…
Who hath thought it up and done it, who hath worked at it and accomplished it? It says,
…Calling the generations from the beginning?
Think. Before we went into slavery, before America came into existence, God called it and said what was going to happen. In Genesis 15:13,
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation…
There wasn’t even a nation over here in the West. Now you see why George Washington and all of them were successful in establishing this nation. God called it, and then helped them make it happen.
“One nation under God.” That’s what it said. Isaiah 41:4 says,
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
And the Word was with who?
Audience: God.
Son of Man: Yes. The first was the Word. The Word was with the first man, with the first Messenger of God, and with the last. This is the last trump. There’s no more mystery to be unveiled. I am here unveiling it for you.
To show you: you can’t even think of a question. People usually have lots of questions after somebody has been talking to them.
People don’t have any questions when I get through. You even have people all over the Earth that’s not asking any questions about anything that I said.
That’s what took me so long to teach you. As I’m teaching it, I’m explaining it. I don’t just stand up and preach. I teach.
I didn’t just tell you that G.O.D means Granter of Dominion. I showed it to you.
The Word is God. If you can show me anything that exists that you didn’t need the Truth to bring it into existence, point it out.
Show me anything that you have dominion over, that you could take dominion over it without knowing how. You need the Truth of how to take dominion over it. The Word is God. John 1:1 says,
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. But when He passed away, the Word still was God.
That’s what made Him God: He held onto the Word. Flesh is weak. As the song says, I am weak, but thou art strong. Yeah, just a closer walk.
Jesus wasn’t the only One that the Word was with. Every Messenger of God that ever came, the Word was with Him. And Jesus said in Luke 24:25,
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
You’ve got to believe all of the Messengers of God, not just one. You can’t just believe in Mohammed. You have to believe in Moses, you have to believe in Jesus, you have to believe in Isaiah, all of them.
Not one Messenger brought a message that we did not need.
Which letter of the alphabet do you not need? I mean, we can get along without some of them, can’t we? We don’t need all of those 26 letters.
If you want to write and read English, you need them all. If you want to read and understand the Word of God, you need the Torah, the Gospel and the Holy Quran. You need it all.
Those Qurans that you all found in there: Those are my gifts to you. Every one of you, keep the one that I gave you.
Brother James: On CNN, they were speaking about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s statement about a “national divorce”, and she interjected in one of her tweets that this is what the Founding Fathers were guiding us to. And the CNN reporter was so anxious to make a statement about the fact that the Civil War was fought because they didn’t want the country to split up. She didn’t even catch that.
Son of Man: Well the thing is: The only reason that the Civil War was fought, was because those people were shortsighted.
You wouldn’t even have a great nation called the United States of America if the Civil War had been won by the South. They would have imploded anyway.
This country became great in the eyes of the world because this country abolished something that it started: slavery; and declared that this is hypocrisy. They said, “We fought a war against a tyrannical king named George because he was enslaving us.”
What is “slavery”? It’s another word for tyranny. George was taxing them and he didn’t want them to have any say-so over where their money was going.
So they said, “Taxation without representation is tyranny. I declare: Give me liberty or give me death.”
Now he declared liberty for himself, and even declared in the Declaration of Independence that, “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.”
And he even enumerated those rights: “the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”—all of which he deprived us of, or at least attempted to deprive us of.
And he saw his own hypocrisy, and many of the White people in this country decided that, “We aren’t going to ever achieve anything going against our own principles.”
So they fought a war. Some wanted to keep slavery, and others had the foresight to realize that, “Eventually we are going to be in the limelight of the world, and if they see us like that, we aren’t going to get anywhere.”
I don’t want any slaves. You know, the one thing that made us wealthy in a way that we didn’t realize was slavery.
When you have somebody else doing a job, they are the one learning how to do it. You are making yourself dependent on them.
The White man was depending on us more than we were depending on him.
We were doing all of the work; so who was learning how the work was done, and easier ways to do it? Us.
That’s why we invented the cotton gin and all of those things that we invented: We invented it because we were doing the work.
The only man that wants a slave is a man that is lazy. He doesn’t realize that he’s telling the whole world, “I’m lazy. I need you niggers to work for me.”
Well the days are gone for that. We aren’t going to be your nigger anymore.
I’ll be your brother if you want me to, but I’m not going to be your nigger. And if you are going to be my brother, you are going to be my brother on God’s terms.
In other words, you are going to submit to Allah, and you are going to be what the word “Muslim” means: one who submits to God. If you submit to God, you are my brother.
See, God is the Truth. If we can all submit to the Truth, it’s fine with me. You’re good with me.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is an imbecile. I mean, the Tea Party Republicans are the RINOs: They are Republicans In Name Only. They are the Tea Party.
I told you what that was about, and I told them what that Tea Party was about.
The Boston Tea Party, the settlers, the colonists, dressed up like Indians so that they could tear up stuff, and the Native Americans or the Indians would get the blame.
The [current] Tea Party was their signal that they were going to join the Republican party and tear up stuff and call themselves Republicans, so that the Republicans would wind up taking the blame.
The true Republicans left the Republican party, and denounced them; and some of them that stayed around that are trying to be true Republicans don’t have spine enough to stand up to those people.
Like I told you, the term “Republican” is a good term when you understand what this is. This is the Democratic Republic of the United States.
“Republic” means a system of government that is elected where you have people who represent the masses of the people. It’s called a “republic”: a represented public.
They do the will of the people so that you don’t have mass chaos, with everybody trying to speak and everybody trying to be the boss.
No, you elect somebody to represent your views, and then you send them up there to represent you. That’s what it was about.
Okay, that’s a good thing. As I was telling you, with democracy, the majority rules.
Okay, Majority Rules: So you do a lot of things that are in the best interests of the majority, but you can’t forget the minority either. So if you go too fast, the minority may rebel.
That’s where the Republicans come in at. He’s a watchdog over the Republic itself. That’s how they put that together.
You have some that are all for majority rules, and others [that] are all for keeping the Republic together; and that’s why you have the liberal and the conservative. “We are going to move, but we are going to move at the speed where the slowest person can keep up.”
But they have lost that, because their time to rule is gone. So you have all of these crazy people up there in the House of Representatives and in the government, and it’s tearing up the country.
They don’t care about the country.
What intelligent father or mother plays games with their credit (if they have good credit) and will let you play games with trashing their credit? What businessman will let his credit report sink?
Without credit, you are out of business. I mean, you might have a lemonade stand, but if you are in a business, you need to be able to get stuff when you want it based on your credit record: that if you put your word on it, people will give it to you, because they know you are going to repay them.
The United States had Triple A credit rating, and they were willing to play around with the debt ceiling.
President Obama pulled the cover off of them, because he told us what the debt ceiling is. They tried to make it sound like he was trying to raise money to pay something, and to inflate more money going out; but the Congress had already approved all of those expenditures. It was just time to pay them.
If the Congress approved it already, what was the problem with paying it?
They want to tear up the country. That’s what they’ve been trying to do for the longest. They don’t know what they are going to do with it if they tear it up.
You see that all of them can’t agree on anything. They are like a bunch of wolves that go and kill off some prey or some kind of animal, and then they are fighting over who’s going to eat first. They are wolves.
Engineer: We have a question from RDG. He says, “Hmm, what’s with the American flag in the background?”
Son of Man: You’re on the late show, buddy. You say what’s with the American flag?
Let me show you something. [The Son of Man raises the New Nation of Islam flag]
Do you see that flag? Why should I raise my flag in the United States, and tell them to respect my flag while I’m disrespecting theirs? Is that doing unto others as you would have others to do unto you?
See, you are listening, but you aren’t interested in righteousness, or you wouldn’t even ask me that. That’s like telling somebody that you want to come to their house, but you don’t need to respect their house.
Some of the Messenger’s [the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s] last words to me were: “Respect everybody, and everybody will respect you. Now remember, their flag is still flying over America. Honor and respect the man, because he still has his flag. There’s much that can be interchanged between them and us in that way of respect.”
And besides, you have forgotten: I know that the White man enslaved us, but this is the flag they were flying when they freed us.
Have you thought about that?
Yeah, we were enslaved under this, but they woke up. People like John Brown: That wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for some White folks that were going along with the idea. Abraham Lincoln.
So don’t disrespect people who tried to undo an injustice that was done to you. If you don’t give people the opportunity to repent, if you don’t accept repentance, why should they even try? Have you thought about that?
I mean, if I’m trying to apologize for something I did to you, and you tell me, “Nigga, I don’t want to hear your apology.”
“Well okay, bye.”
I’m through with it. And I don’t have to feel sorry now, because you have told me that it doesn’t make you any difference.
Well it makes a difference to me. I’m the Son of Man, and when I see people truly trying to do better, I’m going to let them.
You suit yourself. The Messenger hinted at that. He said, “If God wants to continue to let them live on the Earth, you just get that part he gives you, and don’t be worried over his.”
He said that they weren’t to blame. He said, “Now just remember, they could easily tell you that ‘I was not my Maker’. You said he was the devil. He could turn around and tell you, ‘Well I was not my Maker.’”
As good as telling you, “Well, you made me. So now what? I’m in trouble for being what you made me?”
That’s the argument he could throw at you. What would you say?
“So now I have to pay for being what you made me?”
I’d want to kill you too. That’s insulting for you to be bragging that you made me the devil, and then when I acted the devil that you made me, you aren’t going to give me any way out? Oh okay, well you sit there and I’ll see if I can drop one of these bombs on you. [smiles]
So, give the man a way out. Always leave a man a way out. So that’s what I’m doing: I’m leaving him a way out. Any more questions?
Brother Abdul: May Allah’s-Salaam-Alaikum, Son of Man.
Son of Man: May Wa-Alaikum Allah’s Salaam.
Brother Abdul: I wanted to say that I appreciate you bringing us together. I wanted to ask what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught you about bringing us together.
Son of Man: The Honorable Elijah Muhammad didn’t give me personal teachings. That wasn’t allowed. None of them were allowed to give me personal teachings. It was like the saying goes: a hint to the wise is sufficient.
The reason they weren’t allowed to give me personal teachings is because it wouldn’t be just on Allah’s part to ask any of you to have faith, when I didn’t have to have faith.
See, I have faith in the Word that Jesus spoke and all of the Prophets spoke, that it’s talking about me. They didn’t tell me, “Hey Marvin, this is talking about you.”
No, they didn’t tell me that. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad didn’t pull me to the side and say, “This is you here.”
I gleaned that out of his teachings. Nobody came up to me and told me that I’m the Son of Man. I had to figure that out on my own. I had to trust in this Word, that it’s talking to me, and what I gathered from it was since I was the only one who understood it, I assumed that when Ezekiel was talking and saying, “Son of Man this and Son of Man that”: since I’m the only one who understood it, it must have been talking to me; so I acted on that. Isaiah 54:17 says,
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
Well, if that’s the case, I don’t need any guards; so I walk around and I don’t have any guards.
If I think I need a guard other than Allah, well then I don’t trust Allah. He said no weapon formed against me would prosper, so I’m satisfied.
It’s nice to feel safe, because when you feel safe, you feel free.
I can stand up and say what I say in front of the whole world and not fear contradiction. Now how many men can boast that?
So I’m thankful. I’m thankful for every one of you all that’s in here, that because I invited you to come, you came. And I’m going to do all that I can. You just stay here.
I have plenty of plans that I don’t talk about, but it includes every one of you, and I mean that. Every one of you.
So let’s just keep doing what we are doing. Let’s keep on accepting the Truth. Always accept the Truth, even if it’s against yourself.
Accept the Truth. Job accepted the good, the bad, and the ugly, if it was from God; because in actuality, who do we belong to?
You can call us a car for Truth. You can drive your car and leave it dirty. You can drive it through the mud, you can run it into a wall. It doesn’t say, “I’m not going to let you drive me anymore.”
No. Whatever Allah gives us or withholds from us, be thankful. That’s all that He wants from us.
We can’t do anything for Him. What can you do for the Truth? But the Truth sure can do plenty for you, so let’s remember that.
So I thank Allah that we had a wonderful Saviour’s Day, and I look forward to this time next year, that we will be in a bigger building; because if everybody was in here instead of there, we would have filled this one up.
So we have to build a bigger building. Even though Jesse isn’t there anymore [at United Mississippi Bank], Bruce is there.
Bruce has been treating us right, Jesse. Matter of fact, that bank is still our bank, so I’m thankful to Allah.
Brother Derrick: I just wanted to share something with you that was positive. As you said, you are constantly getting lessons from everything we see, even from your followers. So I know you were responsible mostly for getting this set up, and Mr. R.J. Watkins sent a message. We have Saviour’s Day broadcasting on the station in Detroit, and he said “Very good Saviour’s Day. Let the team know I’m very proud of the production. It looks great. Keep up the good work. Everything is going fine.”
Then I jumped online to check it out, and with everything that Brother Michael, Sister Sharlean and Brother Jamar and everybody who had input on it: The whole production looks good. They added some things coming across the top as you can see right there.
So it looks very good on television, and it’s streaming across the world; so I just wanted us to know that professionals in the industry take notes to things like that.
Son of Man: Yes, well I’m going to tell you something: These brothers are constantly, not surprising me, but it makes me admire these two brothers here; and all of you, that without your help, we couldn’t be doing what we are doing.
Like I said, our time has come to act as one. I don’t have to remind you to do your duty, to handle your business.
Whatever it is that you are doing, put your whole self in it, and you will see that Allah is with you to do it.
Certainly, coming from R.J. Watkins, that’s saying something: because he will tell you if something is missing. He’s been in the radio and television business for 40-something years. He’s told us what to tweak many times.
Brother Derrick: Yes sir. He’s told me, “Brother, the Son of Man is up there fighting for us. He’s fighting the world, so it’s not his job to move a cord over. We are supposed to do that.”
And I said, “Okay, I’m going to carry it to the brothers like that. We need to hear it just like that.”
But the brothers got it straight. It looks like a clean production.
Son of Man: Yeah, they made me put this green screen up here. I took mine down. I didn’t rest until I got it up there, because he was complaining that it wasn’t doing like it was supposed to.
You can’t get on people for trying to tell you to do something that’s better. You can’t get mad at them for that. No.
Brother Derrick: And lastly, my son wanted to get his plug in. He wouldn’t let me forget. He tells people his experience, that he’s been working at the TV station for 13 years, which means he was 12 years old when he started. Especially with our guest being here: We want to let you know, brother, that we really appreciate brothers like you.
Our children grow up and see the type of people that we are affiliated with, and what we are doing. I may have seen my parents go to the bank, but I didn’t see my parents have friends who are bankers.
It makes a difference. So now they can think independently, because they know people like you, and brothers at the TV station; and they can just go in and touch equipment and feel comfortable that, “Okay, I belong in here.”
So thank you, and thank Mr. Watkins. That’s all I wanted to say.
Son of Man: Alright. I’m just thankful for every one of you that’s here, and we all have a testimony if we had that much time.
I’m going to eventually one day let you all give your testimonies, but we will do that when the victory is won.
You know what victory is for me and you: It’s when it’s us. When we truly recognize what the United States showed us the value of, we won’t lose it.
They showed us what “us” can do. If they don’t have sense enough to hold on to it and kick these fools out of there, that’s on them. I warned them. I did my job.
I’m still trying to warn them. I don’t need to see the U.S. fall in order for me to rise. We can help them straighten it out, and then they can help us straighten ourselves up.
I’m not talking about teaching us. I’m talking about, when we are ready to build ourselves up as a living body, then we can talk about reparations.
Dead bodies don’t need repairing. There isn’t anything you can do for them. But a living body? You can help it repair itself.
So God is the God of the living. The Truth only helps you if you are alive to act on it. It can’t help you after you’re dead.
Alright, if there are no more questions or statements, then Happy Saviour’s Day again.
And to all of you throughout the Earth, I’m not here to be your enemy. I want to see all of you do well, because we are actually just one human family on this planet, and we need to start acting like it.
It’s time. Our time has come to act as one human family.
