GOD HAS RAISED ME IN THE MIDST OF YOU TO INTERPRET FOR YOU
Reprinted from the March 17, 1967 edition of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS
By ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, MESSENGER OF ALLAH
The white theologians, or scripture scientists, have so fixed the Bible
in their way that the truth is hard to understand — though the truth is
here in the Bible . . .
GOD HAS raised me in the midst of you to interpret for you. I do my best
to give you the truth without making any changes. I have no knowledge of
anything I am teaching — only what Allah, in the person of Master Fard
Muhammad, has given me. I want you to take note of the prophecy of the
birth of the last one, God Himself. They used to preach that God came in
flesh and in the blood. But they do not preach that much now. The Bible
says here in Matthew, first chapter, the 21st verse: “And she shall bring
forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus: for he shall save his
people from their sins,” We want you to listen to it carefully and do not
misunderstand it. If Jesus was to save his people from sin 2,000 years
ago, where are they?
I WANT YOU to remember these things. These are the scriptures you boast
are accurate. And if you know that it is truth, then you have not
understood it; you are misrepresenting it. I want you to listen to
something else. If he came and saved the Jews from their sins, we cannot
find them. They are not here today. And if it is meant the total race of
white people, why are the expecting Judgment? If they said that he was
sent to the house of Israel seeking to save the lost sheep of the House
of Israel, some of us misunderstand it. They think that is referring to
the whole race of white people of IsraeL. They misunderstand it.They fail
to catch the trick there of the theologian.
SAVE THE LOST sheep of the House of Israel. He did not say that Israel
was sheep. He said the sheep of the House of Israel. If he had meant
Israel being the house of sheep, he would have said to save the sheep of
Israel . . . we must look closely into the words and understand what is
meant today. If he is a sheep of the house,it means another people who
are in the House of Israel, or the race of Israel. They are not the
same,but quite different.Therefore, to cover up the aboriginal members of
our people here in the West, they symbolize you as sheep. You are not
able, until today, to understand that the sheep is you in another nation,
in a house where you do not belong. The average clergyman preaches as one
who needs to be brought back to the church. Christianity. I want you to
change your text, brother. It is not a sheep that is out of the church.
It is a sheep that needs to come out of a church. . .
YOU WORSHIP everything that white people worship . . .You now always
reject those trying to say anything good about you —- it is not what
they have taught you. There are white people in America and abroad who
have great respect for Islam, but they are not supposed to teach you
Islam. This is against their nature and the oath they have among
themselves never to wake up the Negro. I want you to remember the name
Israel. Don’t think Israel is a good name. Israel is not a good name.
Israel is an evil name. I will make it clear to you. According to your
Bible. The Bible said that Jacob was named Israel after he had conquered
the angel. The Bible said that he wrestled with the angel all night.
Understand what is meant. If this man was wrestling with the angel of
God, trying to force the angel to do something the angel did not come to
do, he is an enemy of the angel. It says the angel pleaded to Jacob to
let him go. Jacob said, “No, no, no ! I cannot let you go until you bless
me.”
THE BOOK SAYS he wrestled all night long — and as the day began to
break, the angel said “Let me go.” Jacob “No no! Bless me before you go.”
He is a enemy. According to history, white people have been at war ever
since they had civilization. They never have been able to get along in
peace with themselves.It is time. It you do not know the truth
today—-good by. There are some people who are ashamed and fear to
accept the truth lest they lose friendship with the enemy of the truth.
whether you accept or reject, you do no have any friendship, because by
nature he is against you. By nature, he ## oppose you if you take ### to
heaven. That is why ### years ago, they had to throw him out. And to have
peace today, they will have to throw him out of the earth.
THE WORLD is at war now. Who started it ? . . . It was not Islam. It has
to be Christianity. Ever since 1942, the world has been restless, with
one picking up arms after another—-to bring them to today, the final
ending of the war. To do what, Muhammad? To put an end to war making;
putting an end to those who delight themselves in making war; to stop
them once and forever. . . The people was at peace in the islands of the
Pacific and in the mainland of the Far East. They were at peace until the
Christians went in with their Bibles and bottles of whiskey—–and with
their Marines , , , and with gunboats to throw shells on the people of
the mainland and Islands to force them into subjection. The time is at
hand, and I want you to know the truth. God did not raise me up in your
midst to bear witness to other than the truth–but to give you the truth
that will bring to you salvation for self; to join you onto the nation of
righteousness; give you the kingdom of the nations; make you ruler of the
people of earth. . . Negro is a slang name given to us by those who love
to make us blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self. That word does
not mean civilization. He is not of this nor of that. He is like a piece
of iron—he is dead and lifeless.
