It has been over two years since the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan launched his year-long unparalleled online series, “The Time and What Must Be Done.”

He has stated guidance to save ourselves is contained within those 58 YouTube broadcasts, which are archived on The Nation of Islam’s official website (NOI.org/TheTime).

Every Saturday, the Nation of Islam’s social media division known in cyberspace as the #FarrakhanTwitterArmy’ flood the social media platform with his words. This effectively caused nearly 80 percent of the broadcasts to become Top 10 trending topics on Twitter, nationally and worldwide.

During the closing words of the final broadcast, which aired February 15, 2014, Minister Farrakhan stated:

“Take from Broadcast Lecture 1 to Broadcast Lecture 58, and parse them! And we will have scholars to review each of these broadcasts, and talk to you about each Lecture—and you will be able to call in by phone and ask your questions; and you will be able to engage our scholars and others!”

The Minister continued:

“I ask you: What will you do with the 58 weeks of these broadcast lectures?

· Will you let them sit in The Final Call Building gathering dust, while people are hungering and thirsting for knowledge while they die because we failed to deliver the message?

· What kind of ministers are you, if you don’t rise up on the wings of this Knowledge and spread it to the ends of the Earth? As Jesus told his Disciples: “Take this Gospel to every nation, kindred and tongue.”

· What kind of people are you that sit by the television, and have been fed from us for this year and a few weeks—and you won’t share it with your friends and your family? This should be The Discussion in schools and organizations; in churches, in mosques and synagogues and temples!”

Minister Farrakhan gave us our marching orders and his social media army didn’t waste time moving out. The following month, we started going back over each broadcast every Saturday evening at 6pm CST.

Instead of just tweeting Minister Farrakhan’s every word, we have been following his instructions in creating further dialogue related to the main themes. The hour-long discussion has drawn countless people who DO NOT know anything about the series.

Without fail, we have been able to witness the things he foretold coming to pass across the country and the globe, even as we’re going back over a particular segment. Those of us who have been participating weekly can bear witness that it is a must that we all go back over this series because we realize that there is no way we could’ve grasped it all the first time around. This is why Minister Farrakhan has frequently tweeted from his account @LouisFarrakhan: “Rewatch, Study and Parse every episode of #TheTime Series. …”

The continuing dialogue has also presented us with the opportunity to sharpen the digital sword as we engage supporters and attackers in intellectual discourse. While some choose to go down in the gutter, we have remained obedient to Minister Farrakhan’s instructions—as found in the Holy Qur’an—to argue in the best of manner.

A wonderful example is 14-year-old Nzinga Muhammad (@QueenNzinga13) of Rochester, New York who has been one of the foremost in defending our Minister on Twitter. She is consistently unafraid in challenging those who are attacking him and she does it in a way that has made him proud. Her responses reflect one who is constantly delving into the broadcasts.

We have now entered the final nine broadcasts wherein Minister Farrakhan delves into Separation, Independence, the Reality of the Mother Wheel and The Shadow Government!

We invite everyone to log back into your Twitter accounts and join us every Saturday as we continue to spread this epic series.

See you on the digital battlefield!
