This day is not a twenty-four hour day, but, it ushers in a period of grace and absolute mercy from God that allows those of us who have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God to acknowledge our shortcomings, confess them, repent of them, atone for them, accept forgiveness and then, the process of reconciling ourselves to God and to those whom we have offended by our sins and shortcomings, allows us to become whole and wholesome and it gives us a chance to make a new start.

This period of time that God has given for humanity to reconcile itself with God and with self, that we may avert the consequences of our actions, is a great period, indeed. It is a period of time during which every human being should strive to take advantage of the Great Mercy of God.

We live in a world in which each year is filled more and more with violence. Violence once was orchestrated by elites or governments to take over nations and the raw materials of nations, to overthrow governments, kings and rulers who stood in the way of access to those minerals and precious stones that would lead a nation to great wealth.

This violence has gone all the way down in the society to children, especially in the United States of America, where a murder, a robbery, an assault, a rape is committed every so many seconds, but, these crimes are now being committed by children.

Some of the penologists and those who are in charge of prisons are saying that the youth are committing crimes of violence more heinous, more cold and more callous than anything that they have ever seen in the past, violence now has permeated the entire society. America now is the most violent, crime-ridden society on the earth.

We see so many wars going on throughout the planet even as we speak. Civil wars, tribal wars, wars that are taking untold thousands and even millions of human lives, are going on all over the earth. What is the root of this violence? Where did it start? How can it end?

We see in the first family that is recorded in the Bible and the Holy Qur�an, that when Allah created Adam He gave him very specific instructions. Although said differently than the Qur�an, but, very exquisitely, the Bible says that God made man and woman in His own image and after His own likeness.

The Qur�an says that Allah created the man and called him Khalifa. That first man was God�s own successor. That man was to be standing in the place of God over the creation of God and even over the angels of God.

This means that man and woman are the glory of God above all of His creation�sun, moon, stars. Man is the greatest of God�s creation because he is created by God to stand in God�s place in rulership over what God has created, but we can only fulfill our role as ordered by God when we willingly bring ourselves into submission to the Will of God.

Allah gave Adam specific instructions to keep and dress the garden and gave him his wife to help him to meet the obligation, the duty, and the service that God demanded of Adam. So, when Adam disobeyed God his eyes opened to a lower self that was hidden from him. Whenever we disobey the Divine, we open our eyes to the lower self and its call to us. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they became involved in a relationship that was not based on service to God in keeping with His purpose for their creation. Therefore, their marriage was rooted in lust and not in love. As a result of that, they produced the first dysfunctional family. A family that was divided.

The nature of the human being is to submit to the will of God. This is the best way, and really the only way to be made secure, and it is the best way to enter into true peace and contentment of mind. However, since the first family disobeyed God, they lost the way to peace and security from the Hand of God. They were put out of the garden, a place of security and they had to do their best to secure themselves by whatever means necessary.

From that day to this, man has been trying to secure himself, not by obedience to God, but, by wits, skills, weapons, lies and deceit. Why do we lie to escape consequences? Because our nature is to be made secure. So, lying is natural or instinctive when we are disobedient to God and trying to cover wrong or default in our duty. The only way we do that is through the art of lying and deception.

Morality is based on observance of our Duty to God, to self, to family, to community, and to the nation. True morality is based upon obedience to the Will of God and that which is good, right and proper. One of the worst forms of hypocrisy is the hypocrisy of self-righteousness. The self-righteous see themselves as better than someone that ought to be condemned. This hypocrisy of self-righteousness makes the self-righteous person to want full punishment for any sinner except self, because they are blinded to their own unworthiness in the eyes of God. If I polled the members of Congress, and asked them whether they have lied, they would say, "No, I never lied under oath, but, I lie all the time."

Is the consequence of a lie told outside of a courtroom or outside of a grand jury�s deposition less damaging or is the consequence of a lie told in court more damaging? Man has said if you lie under oath you committed perjury, therefore, this is the consequence. What about lies that are told not under oath? Do you mean to say, you can dismiss a lie told outside of a courtroom that doesn�t appear to be unlawful and now hold somebody�s foot to the fire because they lied in court, when the nature of the lie is the same�to protect an individual from consequences of their inappropriate and wrongful behavior or their failure or default in duty?

When a president or an elected official takes an oath of office, why do they raise their right hand and put their left hand on the scriptures of the Bible? Why is the Bible used at all? I believe it is because the Bible is represented as a book of truth and law. The hand on that Bible is verifying that the right hand of the individual will uphold not only the constitution of the state or the country�s laws, but, the connection of the right hand to the left and the left on top of the Bible should signify that the oath of office would also require that the person must uphold the truthful principles contained in the scriptures and live up to the character and principles of righteousness that is found in both the Bible and constitution.

If that is the case, then, all members of Congress could be sat down as having perjured themselves in front of their government and their constituents by taking an oath of office and their lying to the American people. Some of these Congress people have become pawns of big business, pawns of moneyed interests, while they yet proclaim to uphold the constitution and represent their constituents, they have become representatives of big money. Have they perjured themselves?

When I accept to abide by the constitution, my hand is not on the constitution, my hand is on the Bible. Then, should I not be held to the principles of the book, as well as the principles of that constitution? Is it right that we should make others suffer to improve the quality of life of the American Nation by any means necessary. Is that really moral?

Now, the president of the country may be impeached because of a sexual liaison or foreplay that he engaged in, in the oval office while murders were planned in that office. Destruction of Kings and Rulers were planned from that office. Okays were given to assassinate leaders and teachers who opposed corporate expansion and fought against corporate greed. This is okay, because it increased the bottom line of multi-national corporations. Is this living up to the oath of office?

In closing, I give to President Clinton and to you what Jesus gave to the people who said to him, "Master, give us a sign of the end." And Jesus said, "this wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, but there shall be no sign given to you except the sign of Jonah as Jonah was in the belly of the whale, three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth." Jonah means "the dove." That�s why I put a dove up on a blue background. Blue is the color of deceit. The sky looks blue, but it isn�t. The water looks blue, but it isn�t. Blue is the color of deception. And in the midst of a people that deceive and have been deceived, in the midst of a nation of liars, wicked and adulterous people, God is the most merciful and the oft returning to mercy and surely His mercy encompasses all things.

The dove represents Christ. The dove represents the soul of God, the spirit of God, and Jonah was a sign. Jonah was the only prophet who went to a city that God had determined to destroy. And when he preached, then Jonah had to clean up. He had to come out in sack cloth and ashes and then call on the people of Nineveh to repent and bow down. But the beauty of this story is that the king of Nineveh heard this, and the king came out in sack cloth and ashes and called on all the people to fast and pray, to atone and repent. When they did, God said, "I repent of my desire to destroy this city." And He changed His mind. That was the only city in the Bible that got spared.

Do you know what that is a sign of? It is a sign of the mercy of God through Christ, the Mahdi or the Messiah. Why did God put Clinton in this condition? God took the most powerful man on earth and beat him down. The American people think that the man is through. Wrong. He is only through if he allows himself to be through. He is only through if he doesn�t take the right course. But if he humbles himself, and I don�t mean like he did in front of those preachers in the White House, I�m talking about putting on sack cloth and ashes because he is already humiliated. He is already embarrassed. He has already been returned to dust. Now sit in the dust. Humble yourself, Mr. Clinton, and say to God, "you are the power, I�m just a servant. I�m here for a short time and I�m gone, but you are eternal. Yes I�m the president of the United States but I, like Pharaoh, thought that I was a god beside you. But you have shown me that I am nothing but a mere mortal. My people are wicked like me. I�m an adulterer. I�m a liar. I have murdered innocent people. I�m killing the babies in Iraq. I�m killing the people in Libya. I bombed Sudan for no reason at all and I lied and said they were terrorists. Forgive me, Lord. I am humbling myself down to you."
