Persecution will give way to victory

The veil, or the partition, or that, generally, which separates man from God, and which has kept God veiled from man has only recently been removed. As it is written in the book of Revelation 10:7, “that in the last days, or in the days of the voice of the 7th angel, the mystery of God should be finished.” This mystery, or veil has now been removed, by God Himself in His coming and revealing Himself and His truth to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. But this knowledge or unveiling— clearing up—did not come except through the most excruciatingly painful period since life has been. And we are not out of it yet.

This evil world came into existence approximately 6,000 years ago. It was birthed out from man’s dissatisfaction with both God and His true and righteous nature. It took trillions of years to reach the point that it did, a little over 6,000 years ago, to produce that man (scientist) whose mission was to give this dissatisfaction; this Satan in man, a physical form and dominion over man—over that which he came from. That was done.

Now, this 6,000-year period given to the Satan, to have authority has ended. There is great turbulence, confusion; a general madness throughout the earth. Many despair that there is any way out of this.

The war that is going on in each of us is between God and his enemy. The battle is not only throughout the earth, but it is in the hearts and minds of the people who make up the population of the planet earth

One of the main purposes of the book of Revelation, which is said to have been written during a time of persecution of the early Christians, was to keep the persecuted aware that despite the dark clouds of oppression, the sun was still in its place and was shining. The dark clouds would soon vanish. This was to say that the Christ, the son of God, was in his place, at the right hand of God the Father, and that he had power and was exercising it in behalf of the oppressed. The persecution would soon give way to victory.

Moreover, this special son of God (Christ) is the being through who God the Father was initiating the new heavens and the new earth; the recreation of man and the universe itself. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, after God, is the preeminent being in the universe, having been made like God by God.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in an article (I was unable to locate), stated that the wisdom which Master Fard Muhammad promised him when they met again, would enable him to actually exercise the power of God and make him the means through, or by which, that which is new would come into being.

His article was written before he left in the early 1970’s. What he was promised has come to pass; for he departed in 1975 to be with his Teacher. He now sits in the most honored position, or status, in which God could possibly place a human being.

We call him “Honorable.” That he was. That he is. Some referred to him as “the Most Honorable” Elijah Muhammad. Yes and no. No one is to, or can be, honored above the Supreme Being. On the other hand, no one can honor another more than the Supreme Being can. He whom God honors above others is the most honored.

In the status, or position that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad occupies, in which God has made him to be next to Himself (in terms of his mind, heart, and powers); he is The Most Honored Elijah Muhammad.

What greater honor could God possibly confer on another, that honors him more, than to share His life, and powers, and glory with that other? What greater honor could the Lord of the Worlds confer or grant, to another that is superior to the work of the recreation of man and the universe, through that other—to whatever degree this occurs?

This is what Master Fard Muhammad has done to and for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Shortly after they first met, in 1931, He gave to His servant a book in Arabic that he could not read. I do not know whether or not that book was the book that he later promised the Honorable Elijah Muhammad He would one day give to him. I do know, from the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that his Teacher had written a book for the guidance of a world that existed only in His head. (Something of this appears on page 189 of Message To The Blackman.) Furthermore, I do bear witness that that little book is the book that was foreseen, in a vision, and is mentioned in the 5 th chapter of Revelation.

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

In that vision, He Who is Supreme gives this little book to a man who is symbolized as a slain lamb. I am convinced that this vision has been fulfilled.

(Notice, that on page 189 of Message To The Blackman, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad Speaks of two books coming.)

The reason that I placed the image of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan over the heart of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, on the cover of my book published some years ago is to say to whoever reads that book, was that my Brother speaks the heart and mind of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to us all; and that he is accomplishing what is in the heart and mind of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. All of this is so, because he is from the heart of his teacher—the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

I once wrote in the Final Call newspaper years ago:

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is working night and day to prepare enough of us, to constitute the path for the “return”. Who is to return? Who is this “son” who will return? The answer, for this article: the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan with the new teachings, in English.

(For those who read the lessons that have come to us from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, consider this: English Lesson #C1 is the sixth in the order of the lessons we were given. We are told to ask for English lesson #C2. Think it over.)

Some may say what about the Honorable Elijah Muhammad? What about Master Fard Muhammad? This is an article and not a book. Besides, how many of us are ready to meet the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in person? Furthermore, how many of us are ready to stand in the visible presence of Master Fard Muhammad? We should be exceedingly grateful that They have qualified the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who is closer to our condition, to stand for Them, in the midst of hell, and work in our behalf, to qualify us to be accepted by Them!!!

Some may argue with this. I am not arguing the case. I am stating my conviction. God blessed me—for I certainly did not bless myself—to be looking for my Brother, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, to rise up and not the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to come back—or to come down from the Mother plane—and rebuild the Nation of Islam. And even though there are those who tell lies about their position with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, there is not one—other than the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan—who can say with truth, and be backed by witnesses, that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, actually told him that, in brief, he was to sit in his seat; to rebuild the Nation; and that the new teachings would be revealed to and through him (Minister Farrakhan).

More next issue, Allah willing.
