The 3rd Surah of the Holy Qur�an talks about Jesus,
the Messiah, and gives us the timing of His Coming. When the angels
said: "O Mary, surely Allah (God) gives thee good news with a
word from Him (of one) whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of
Mary, worthy of regard in this world and the Hereafter, and of those
who are drawn nigh (to Allah (God)), And he will speak to the people
when in the cradle and when of old age, and (he will be) one of the
good ones. She said: My Lord, how can I have a son and man has not
yet touched me? He said: Even so; Allah (God) creates what He
pleases. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, Be, and it
is." (Surah 3, Verses 44-46.)
The next verse is critical. "And Allah (God)
will teach him the Book and the Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel:
And (make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): I
have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I determine for
you out of dust the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it
becomes a bird with Allah�s (God�s) permission, and I heal the blind
and the leprous, and bring the dead to life with Allah�s (God�s)
permission; and I inform you of what you should eat and what you
should store in your houses. Surely there is a sign in this for you,
if you are believers." (Surah 3 Verses 47-48.)
A few weeks ago I noted that what Allah (God) gave
to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was this Book, Qur�an. The Book is called
Revelation. Allah (God) did not give the prophet the meaning of all
of these deep truths that are in the Book. Just the revelation of
the Book was sufficient at that time to push the forces of evil back
all over the earth, but it did not conquer those forces completely.
What Allah (God) did for the prophet was reveal the Book.
But, regarding the Messiah, the Book says Allah
(God) will "teach" Him the Book. There is a difference
between teach and reveal. To teach means to impart
knowledge of or skill in, to give instruction in. So, Allah (God)
says, He is going to teach, give instruction, give explanation of
the Book to the Messiah and make Him a Messenger to the Children of
Israel.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said the sun would rise from
the west in the latter day. It doesn�t mean that the physical sun is
going to reverse its course. It means that prophethood and
messengership has always come from the east and the light shone
toward the west. Now, Revelation is going to be given to some babes
in the west and the light that you once saw coming out of the east,
you will now see it coming from the west, from among a people who
are considered dead. Satan says, "Respite me till the day when
they are raised." The raising here means the resurrection,
and, the resurrection and judgment start together.
Matthew 24:27 says: "For as the lightning
cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be
gathered together." In verse 37, it reads: "But as the
days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah
entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
This means that you will be partying, drinking, dancing, giving
in marriage, being married, just like it was with Noah and the end
is going to come and catch you. It even says that, "As it was
in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah so shall it be at the coming of
the Son of man." The Son of man is a man that is coming to
kill as well as to heal.
The Book of Habakkuk in the Bible says that,
"God came from Teman." Teman was one of the sons from the
lineage of Eliphaz, and, Teman is also a place. If God comes from
Teman and He is from the lineage of Eliphaz, then He cannot be from
a man and not be a man. Then, Habakkuk says that, "The Holy
One came from Mount Paran." Here you have two gods being
mentioned. One is a God and the other is the Holy One, and He is
from Mount Paran. Paran is a little town or city in Arabia. What I
am saying is that this "one" can�t be a spook, He is a man.
"His glory covered the heavens. The earth was full
of His praise. His brightness was as the light. He had horns coming
out of His hand and there was the hiding of His power,"
meaning He had a lot of power, but, He hid it. The New Testament
says He made Himself of no reputation. He did not come announcing
who He was. It said He came as a thief in the night.
In the last few lectures we have agreed that at the
end of the 6,000 years we should expect the Messiah, the Mahdi, the
Coming of God. We already know the 6,000 years are up. If you say
Allah (God) is the Supreme Being, well, those are interesting words.
Supreme means highest. Being means one that exists and
is the author of existence. Well, that which exists has to come in
one of three forms�liquid, solid or gas. We never hear that Allah
(God) is a liquid, and we do not hear that He is a gas. Solids are
in three forms: animal, mineral and vegetable. We never heard of
Allah (God) as corn, although He has been likened to the rose of
Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. He is not a mineral, and, you say
He is not an animal, but, that depends on how you look at it.
The word animal comes from the Latin word
"animous" which means that which has life. Animals are either
primate, mammal or human, and since Allah (God) is the Supreme Life,
the Supreme Animus, He is not a dog, He is not a lion or a panther
or a gorilla. Well, what is He? Allah (God) said that, "He
gave man the best mold or make." When we refer to Allah
(God), we refer to Him as He, Him, King, Ruler, Master.
You say He is not human, that He is some
thing out in space somewhere? You say
that one day you are going to heaven. Where is heaven, since you�re
going to make a journey? Is it up in the sky? Who said so,
and, which way is up? The earth is not flat, it is oblong. So, if
you live on one part of the planet, up is one way which is opposite
of up for a person living on the other side of the planet. Guess
what? The earth is not standing still. It is moving at the speed of
1,037-1/3 miles per hour. So every hour it is changing, meaning that
what was up this morning may be down tonight. Where is heaven?
They say heaven has streets paved in gold. Where
does gold come from? Does it come from the sky or do you mine it out
of the earth? How did you get gold up in the sky? You have got to
deal with reality. You have been living in fairyland and your enemy
has been telling you fairy tales. The white man has you thinking
that heaven is in the sky while he is working the hell out of you to
build a heaven for himself right here on the earth.
The Bible says that, "God comes among us and
He comes without observation." How could anybody come from
the east to America without observation? There is an old saying
among the Christians: Prepare me a body that I may go down.
What are you going down for? I am going down for the salvation of my
people. Habakkuk says, "He [not it] went forth for the
salvation of His people." He is the Lord of the Worlds, but,
He has a particular people that He is coming after. The Bible says,
"Before Him went the pestilence and burning coals went forth
at His feet." Oh, He has feet? One part of the Book said,
"On His thigh was a name written." He has a thigh? The
scripture says, "His arm is not too short that it cannot save."
He said, "The stench of the wicked was like a stench in His
nostrils." The mouth of the Lord spake these things. He has
a mouth, a tongue, hands and feet! He is a human being. Supreme!
"He stood and He measured the earth. He beheld and
drove asunder the nations and the everlasting mountains were
scattered and the perpetual hills did bow." The mountains
here mean the political leaders that look like they are everlasting.
You can�t uproot them, but they are shaking now because a certain
truth is in the world that will undercut their governments and their
power. What truth is that? The truth of their origin and their
world, the knowledge of Allah (God), the knowledge of self, the True
Religion of Allah (God) and the time and what must be done.
The Book says, "The tents of Cushan are in
affliction." Cush here means Black people. He saw your tent.
You are under affliction. You are suffering. You are sick. You are
in bad shape. He saw this and the curtains of the land of Midian did
tremble. Curtains mean the layers of falsehood that have covered you
over all these years. Now, the curtains are shaking because
falsehood cannot stand when truth comes. As the truth is being told,
those that lived in falsehood and ruled by falsehood are afraid that
when you know the truth you will be raised into power and they will
not be able to rule you anymore. So, they are shaking now. Because
the truth is present and it cannot be stopped.
Thank you.
