THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD | |

"The book of Revelation (Bible), it is prophesied here that an angel heralded a warning to the people that Babylon is falling. He then tells why Babylon fells. Babylon fell because she...."is become the habitation of devils, and the hole of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." The "foul spirit" here is used to tell us that the people of Babylon were filthy". "The term, "a cage" -- this tells us that her cities and her country became a cage for people of filth. The Bible teaches us that the God referred to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah as being people whose doing and work was such that it came up and stunk in His nostrils". ("But I think that if the God would get a good smell of this modern wicked filth here He would think the smell of Babylon in His nostrils was like the smell of a flower compared to the wickedness of today".) " Babylon is used as an example for some distant people or their history. According to the prophets, this name Babylon is something that begins in Genesis and ends in Revelation. It is found throughout the entire Bible; therefore, we must not look at it as one personal part. We must not look at it as spelling out to us the ancient only".
The great dreadful days of the Lord have now come to America -- the land and people who worship evil and indecency. Robbery, murder, rape, famine and deceit are the order of the day in America". "People cannot walk the streets of America today without subjecting themselves to robbery, murder or rape. America is a wicked land...everyone is against the other". "The four (4) Great Judgments that Allah (God) promises to destroy America with are now coming upon her...hail, snow, drought, earthquake. Allah (God) has reserved His treasures of snow and ice to be used against the wicked country America in the day of battle and war. These are some of Allah’s (God’s) weapons, the storms that we see going on". "The judgment of America. All love and respect of the wicked has gone from them. They do not love each other nor respect each other. They have pulled off their clothes and disgraced themselves. This is also a plague. You see some of the white people rehearsing the cave days of their fathers, and they are not ashamed to do so. They come out with long, straggly hair as their fathers did in the days of the cave. This is Allah (God) forcing the white man to bear Him Witness that they were really once the cave man. Yet a few foolish, unlearned Black People follow the white man. It is a shame to pull off their clothes and grow hair down their back and over their face. By misleading the Black man into following the way of the white man’s cave days, the white man is again telling the world how he has deceived the Black man and is now making the Black man manifest that he is too weak to seek his own". "This America ladens the poor with heavy sentences -- long prison terms -- and refuses to let the prisoners go free. This is due to her heartlessness and lack of compassion for the Black man of America". "This beast (white man) lies in wait around the Black man’s homes and prowls the streets at night in wait for an excuse to wreak his ruthlessness on his poor prey (the Black man). If the Black man raises a hand to protect and defend himself, he is shot dead, and is unable to defend himself against false charges". "Woe to America, the murderer and deceiver of the people. The God of Justice and Truth has pronounced a judgment against thee -- and by no means will you escape. You have made mockery of Him, God, and His people and His word, the truth".
"The four great judgments that Almighty Allah (God) is bringing upon America are rain, hail, snow and earthquakes. We see them now covering all sides of America, as the Holy Qur’an prophesies curtailing on all her sides. And these judgments would push the people into the center of the country, and there they would realize that it is Allah (God) Who is bringing them and their country to a naught". "Job, in the Bible, prophesied that Allah (God) has the snow and ice to use as His weapon in the day of war and battle against the wicked. We hear and read in the newspapers today of how great, hill-like, little mountains of snow are pushing down from the north not only in the northern states of Minnesota, North and South Dakotas and Montana; but now the snow is in the New England States and they are declared to be disaster areas. The announcer of the disaster of snow in the New England States said that there have never been such great quantities of snow. All up and down the coast to the Carolinas, the rain takes up where the snow leaves off". "All around the Southern Border of America, storms are raging. There are tornadoes and heavy rains and more storms are on the way - one right after another. And in the North and Far West and in the East, America is surrounded with the judgments of Allah (God). There are earthquakes and the sea is raging. The Pacific Ocean is now angry and is raging and tossing up great waves as never before".
"The Holy Qur’an also teaches us that God used snow, rain, wind, hail, earthquakes and fire against former wicked people". "Rain weakens and destroys railroads, truck line beds and bridges. Rain undermines foundations of all types of buildings. Rain makes the atmosphere too heavy with moisture causing sickness". "Wind with rain can bring destruction to towns and cities, bringing various germs, causing sickness to the people. It produces unclean water by the swelling of streams and destroying reservoirs of pure drinking water used for the health of the people. Rain is a destructive army within itself. Hail stones are also a property and life destroyer". "Snow is of the most dreaded plague when it comes in great drifts from five to thirty-five feet. It buries your property and lives. It destroys your highways, your cities, and your concrete and gravel in towns and cities. It puts a great burden of expense upon the cities. It puts a great burden of expense upon the city to repair it. The cave-in of roofs of homes, the cutting off of homes, the cutting off of transportation, isolating areas, brings about starvation. And communication is destroyed with the icing of communication wires". "Snow looks pretty because of its clean look. Almost everything of nature is beautiful, but it can be turned into death and destruction against man". "Snow is prophesied to be one of the weapons that God will use against the wicked (America), Job 38:22, 23. Hail also is mentioned in the same two verses, where God plainly tells us that He has preserved it against the time of trouble, against the day of the battle and war". "Earthquakes can destroy towns and cities instantly. America is in the grip of divine judgment. America is in the position toward her once slave, so-called Negro, as Pharaoh was with Israel as his slave. She is in this position because of the injustice done to the American so-called Negro slave, brought to America over four hundred years ago, and refuses to let them go free".
"The title of this chapter is taken from the Holy Qur’an, Ch. 101:1-4. 1. The calamity! 2. What is the calamity? 3. And what will make thee know how terrible is the calamity?" In the English language, according to Webster’s Dictionary, the word calamity means, "a state of deep distress or misery caused by major misfortune or loss, or a great event marked by great loss and lasting distress and affliction." Such calamity is now prevailing in America. It is getting worse daily. The third verse of this Chapter (Holy Qur’an 101:3) asks a question: "And what will make thee know how terrible is the calamity?" The answer is given in verse four: 4. "The day wherein men will be as scattered moths," We do not have to ask anyone whether or not this warning of the Holy Qur’an is now being fulfilled. We see the fulfillment of this prophecy with our eyes and hear with our ears, these great calamities that are now striking America. We see the great division, the great disagreement, disunity and murder of men. We see the great amount of raping and murdering of girls and women. There is great robbery and thieving going on every hour of the day and night. There are great storms and adverse weather conditions. There are minor earth tremors and hailstorms. There are signs and wonders of signs being displayed in the heavens, in the earth and on sea and land. There is unusual behavior of children. There is unusual love or dislike of children by mother and fathers and the destruction of the process of childbirth. There is the great calamity of starvation and great destruction of health and of lives by the use and administering of poison drugs, which is practiced upon those who are free and those who are bound". |
