Modern Babylon is Falling

By The Hon. Elijah Muhammad

"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.)" - The Hon. Elijah Muhammad 

We say 'MODERN' when we refer to something RESEMBLING something of the past. This name 'Babylon' begins in Genesis 10:10 (Bible). In Gen. 10:10 it is spelled 'B-a-b-e-l'. But, the same name seems to have changed itself into the name Babylon as we come to the most late-day history of this name.

BABEL (Babylon) - According to the history of Babylon throughout the Bible. BABYLON is referred to as something prophesied as having a failure upon her progress and rise.

IN Psalms 137:18, David prophecies that Babylon was made to be destroyed. We know of nothing other than the devil and his works, that was actually made to be destroyed, spiritually.

When Ye Shall See All These Things

By the Hon. Elijah Muhammad from the book the Fall of America (published in 1974)

Jesus prophesied that when we see the fulfillment of the prophecy of this time, then we should know, by such acts of the people, -- strange actions that we have never witnessed before -- carried on by the people -- "Know that it (the end) is near, even at the doors."

The Bible prophesies in Daniel and Matthew, saying that this is a time that man has never seen before, and man will never see such time again, after this time!

Strange happenings -- the prophecies of Jesus said that parents will be against children, and children will be against parents. Do you not see these things being fulfilled today, right in our eyes?

Not only are parents against children and children against parents, but parents are murdering their children and children are murdering their parents!

In some families, the parents kill the children and then commit suicide themselves! This is going on, today, in the old U.S.A., where the gospel of Jesus is preached every hour of the day somewhere in the land!

Under The Shadow of Death

We, the Black lost-found of our people here in America live under the shadow of death by way of cowardly enemies. Every one of us—the cowardly enemies seek our deaths, one way or another.

The cowardly enemies will not fight you as a brave man would fight you if they think that you would fight back. They will steal on you when you least expect an attack from them.

America Surrounded with The Judgment of Allah

By The Hon. Elijah Muhammad from the book Fall of America  

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 Hon. Elijah Muhammad on Martin Luther King Jr.

From the Book Message to the Blackman in America

(Click here to read full text of Martin Luther King's Final Speech: "I've Been to the Mountaintop")

QUESTION: Mr. Muhammad, would you make some statements about Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement?

ANSWER: Yes, I think Rev. King has been doing a good job according to his knowledge. He has been trying to do his best to get our people some justice in the way of civil rights. I believe that he means well, and I believe he would have done better if he had known more about the time and the people and the history and what must be done in such times.

He has the desire to see his people dealt with according to justice and not according to injustice. But he does not know that he is living in the time when justice is bound to come to his people. However, it is only through Divine and not through civil government. And that goes for most of the groups who are trying to do something for the betterment of our people.

Jesus, 2,000 years ago and Mary were a sign of something to come

By The Hon. Elijah Muhammad from the chapter "And We Made The Son Of Mary And His Mother A Sign, And We Gave Them Refuge On A Lofty Ground Having Meadows And Springs"  From the book Our Saviour Has Arrived

"If Mary and her son are a sign, or an example, of that which is to come, then whose birth and enslavement could correspond with these prophecies and signs any more than we, the American So-Called Negroes here under the white man?"

If the Bible students would have taken this 50th verse of the 23rd Chapter of the Holy Qur’an, under study together with the birth, ministry and death of Jesus, as given in the Bible, Matt., Mark, Luke and John, they would agree that the man, Jesus, 2,000 years ago and his mother were a sign of something to come.

But the preachers of Christianity have always been overly anxious to put some fancy myth (other than the truth) around Jesus’ birth, ministry, and death, 2,000 years ago, to the extent that the Catholics make monuments of an imaginary Mary and her son, Jesus, and bow down and worship their handmade statues.

The Christians have no true pictures of Jesus and his mother, Mary, in possession, so they use imagery and the ignorant take it for truth.

Conflict Between Rulers

By the Hon. Elijah Muhammad - From the December 7, 1973 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper 

  

Daniel’s prophecy of these times, in which we are now living, is equal to the prophecy of John’s Revelation (Bible).

These two Books of the Bible (Daniel and Revelation) are very similar in their prophecy of the same subject, which deals with the great trouble that shall befall the nations of the earth, at the end of the falling of One nation (America).

The conflict between rulers - America, Russia, China and the world-regardless to the power of that one nation (the nation can be small or great) it is all pointing toward the one and the same people: America.

In Daniel Ch. 11:6, the 6th verse says, "... they shall join themselves together; for the kings’ daughter of the south ..."

UP! YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH AS YOU WILL!

By The Hon. Elijah Muhammad -  from the book Message to the Blackman in America

"Their world is getting very small and if you are dependent upon this world, yours too, is getting very small. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. Everyone tries to provide a future of his own but the American so-called Negro. "

I am asking that we (the whole nation) sacrifice for the next three years and when we get enough in our bank, we will put it to work to make more money. We do not mean to let it lie idly for three years; we could invest in anything to help the Nation improve our economic condition.

Heretofore our distrust in each other has kept us down. We have to trust each other as other nations trust each other in order to do something constructive for the original Black people of this country.

A Program For Self Development

By The Honorable Elijah Muhammad - From the Book Message to the Blackman in America

"The American so-called Negroes are like the Bible story of Lazarus and the rich man, the story that Jesus must have foreseen at the time. This Bible beggar was charmed by the wealth of the rich man to whom he was a servant, and he could not make up his mind to go seek something for self." - The Hon. Elijah Muhammad
