In the Name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful.
Christians, Muslims and
Jews, all are expecting somebody to
return. I did not say something, I said somebody. The
Christians are looking for the Christ, but, you are not looking for
a spirit. You are looking for a man. Then, let's stop
talking about a spirit and understand the man that is supposed to be
here.
The Messiah
is a man. The Mahdi is a man, but these are men embodied with
the Sprit, the Wisdom and the Power of the Eternal God made manifest
in a human being, who is coming to set human beings free, and, to
destroy the wicked human beings. He is coming to set up a
government of righteousness. The Bible says, "For unto us a
child id born, Unto to us a son is given; And the government shall
be upon his shoulder: And His name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of
the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end. ..."
But, he's a man born of a woman.
The
Mahdi is also a man coming out of the family of Muhammad. He is a
man who has so much anointing of power from the Eternal God that he
is self-guided; and, he comes to guide that which has lost the path
back to the straight path of Allah (God). He is so powerful that the
Book says he will break the cross. I do not want Christians to be
upset, but, you sing a song that says, �On a hill far away
stood an old rugged cross, an emblem of suffering and shame.�
Since you have been under the cross, have you been suffering? You
sure are ashamed of your Black self, your Black people and your
roots in Africa. Why are you ashamed? It is because a liar told you
that your people were running around in Africa with bones in their
noses, living in jungles and had built no civilization. They want
you to think that you should thank Allah (God) that the White man
came and got your Black self out of Africa and brought you to
America to civilize you, and you believed that, but, at the Million
Man March and at the Million Family March, I stood in front of a
glorious Capitol Building built by your Black brother and sister
slaves. They built the White House, but they were found in the
jungles, then, who taught them how to build the mansions for the
master; how to sew clothes for the master�s woman; how to teach the
master�s woman how to cook?
King
Constantine of Rome had a vision, a dream, and he saw the cross and
he saw over it these words in Latin: In Hoc Signo Vincase, meaning,
�With this sign, we conquer.� Everywhere the White man went with
this sign, he conquered. The Black man of Africa, the Blacks in the
Pacific, the Brown people of Central and South America are poor,
ragged, hungry, naked and out of doors under this sign. You may have
a cross around your neck, and you may think that it is going to
protect you, but, if they murdered my Savior on such an emblem, why
should I glorify the emblem of My Lord�s suffering? There is good
meaning in it, but, I want to show you the real slick, slimy,
deceitful and snake-like movement of your enemy under this sign.
They meant this sign to show that you had been conquered by them and
that you are under their power in the name of Jesus, but not the
real Jesus. The white image of Jesus that they made as a savior for
you is meant to have you worshipping White people while believing
you were worshipping God and His son.
I
don�t have to prove it. You are the living witness. If it meant good
for you, why aren�t you in a better condition and elevated into the
pure knowledge of Jesus Christ where you could be an example of
Jesus Christ and His Righteousness and His Holiness? You are a
winebibber, a dope user and a free for all woman under the sign that
you say represents our Lord. You are a homosexual and a lesbian
under the cross, and, the sad thing about it is, those of us who
preach the Word will not try to reform you that you would reflect
the life of Jesus Christ. You can come any way you want to come as
long as you bring your money. This kind of teaching makes people
angry, because, they want a Jesus that will tolerate their madness.
That is why you like a church where you can go and put down some
tithing and go on about your freakish business. You want to be able
to buy your way into heaven, sing your way into heaven, shout your
way into heaven, but, that is not going to happen!
In the
Book of Job, it says, �The sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.�
Allah (God) recognized that the sons of God were keeping bad
company. So Allah (God) said, �Whence comest thou Satan?�
Satan responded: �I come from walking up and down, to and fro
in the earth, seeking whom I may devour.� Now here is your
slave master who packed our fathers in the holds of slave ships,
urinating and defecating on themselves, on one another, and, many of
them died. When they got here, the same man who said he was a
Christian put them in chains and sold our mothers and fathers. Now
you say, �Minister, why should we go back and rehearse that.
We�ve come out of that now.� Who said so? Every time you go
to school or turn on your television, they are teaching you about
the holocaust, and the Jews never get tired of telling you about how
Hitler put them in ovens. Why do you get tired when somebody starts
telling you how White people put you in chains, hung you from trees,
drowned you in the rivers and the lakes, castrated you, and continue
to imprison you falsely?
When
the Mahdi comes, He is going to break the cross. It means He will
break the power of the wicked who have used this sign to deceive the
peoples of the earth under that sign. The Mahdi will break the
influence of false Christianity�not the true teaching of Jesus,
because all of the righteous all over the earth love Jesus and would
bask in His True Teaching, and, the True Message of Jesus Christ
would free humanity from Satan overnight. Jesus is the key. He
absolutely is the door, but, all warfare is deceit, and, the enemy
is the master of deceit. The greatest deceit of all is to deceive us
about self, about God, about Jesus, and, about the True Religion of
Allah (God).
Now,
here�s the good meaning. The human being has two natures. One nature
is horizontal, which allows you to walk like the lower animals with
your tongue hanging out like a dog. These are human beings who take
their low desires and make them a god beside Allah (God). The Holy
Qur�an says, �Set your face for religion, being upright, the
nature made by Allah in which He has created man.� Your
nature is to walk upright. You come into the world lying down, then
you learn how to crawl, but, as soon as you find something strong
you pull up and you grow in uprightness. This uprightness is what
separates you from the lower forms of life.
Since
the enemy of Allah (God) has been ruling, and, this is his world,
humanity does not live upright. Humanity lives on a horizontal
plane. We prey on one another. We are like snakes. Our tongues do
not speak truth. We are liars and deceivers like the pale-skinned
man that came to the Native Americans and the Native Americans
called them fork tongued because their word meant nothing. Their
treaties mean nothing. They promised us 40 acres and a mule, and, it
meant nothing because if you do not have the power to make them do
what they promise, then, their promise means nothing.
So,
when the Mahdi comes, He is a man and He breaks the cross, He kills
your appetite for filth and brings us to uprightness.
