Blacks in America: 
The True Children of Israel

Ashahed M. Muhammad

(Coverage of Chicago lecture, Pt. III, on Oct. 3, 2010)

(Final Call, October 5, 2010) – CHICAGO – The enemies of righteousness have made many forms of evil fair-seeming, while sowing seeds of confusion among God’s people through racism, materialism, sexism and ideological differences, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan told a capacity crowd at Mosque Maryam, the international headquarters of the Nation of Islam, on October 3.

In part three of his monumental lecture series “Who Are the Real Children of Israel?” Minister Farrakhan asked the overflow crowd to look at the divisions of the human family. God is not the author of confusion, he is the author of peace. To the degree that the world does not have peace, it is because there has been worldwide deviation from that way of life that God desires, he said.

“What is the straight path of God?” Minister Farrakhan asked. “It is in the truth that He reveals to move the human being towards perfection.”

The Minister said he was thankful for God’s intervention in America in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, Al-Mahdi, the Self-Guided One who comes to guide a world that has lost its way, and whose appearance is foretold of in Islamic theology.

“He (the Mahdi) comes anointed by the Originator to perfect what he originated. He comes with power to crush the wicked who have created a world of evil that is in rebellion to the God of righteousness. He comes to master the day of religion that all the confusion in religion may be settled,” said the Minister.

But Muslims, Jews and Christians are all looking for a human being in whom is the holy spirit of God, not a spirit, said the Minister. “The Jewish community does not believe that Jesus of 2,000 years ago was in fact, the Messiah,” he noted. But the long-awaited Messiah of the Christians and the Mahdi of the Muslims has made his appearance in North America and chosen Black people as his people, Minister Farrakhan said.

Origin of Israel and the White Race

“All of us are under Israel. All of us are under the rule of the Caucasian people and all of the races have been affected by their rule,” said Minister Farrakhan.

The Minister delved into the scripture, where it is outlined in the Book of Genesis that Jacob wrestled with an angel through the night. When the morning came, Jacob prevailed, and his name was changed from Jacob to Israel.

“This may be controversial to you, but the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Jacob’s name in Arabic is Yakub,” said Minister Farrakhan. “When they make mockery of what God has revealed to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they say that Yakub was an evil scientist. Wrong!”

“Yakub was a scientist who saw in the genetic makeup of the Black man that he could bring out of us a new people, the opposite of the original. That is not evil. That is high science,” said Minister Farrakhan.

The enemies of righteousness want to do everything they can to keep the Black man and woman away from the true and proper understanding of their great past and prophetic destiny, and have worked to breed self-hatred into the minds of Black people globally under the power of White supremacy in all systems whether religious, scientific or educational, he continued.

We have been made hateful of anything that tied us to Black or Africa or our original state, “which never was a people running around the jungles of Africa with bones in our noses swinging from trees,” said the Minister. “If we were that and the White people who enslaved us were not our teachers, how then did we build their mansions in the South? How then did we design clothing for the master’s daughters and master’s wife? Who taught us how to do the things that we did to make America what it is today? They were not our teachers. We had something innate that could not be destroyed by the oppression of our slavemaster. We were born builders, we were born architects of civilization.”

Additionally, the research of genetic scientists and anthropologists verifies what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad—the patriarch of the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan’s teacher—was taught from God dealing with the Original People. The blood of the Black man and woman has been shown to be genetically powerful enough to produce the entire human family, and when attempting to find the origin of Black people, researchers go to Africa, Minister Farrakhan noted.

This is not race-based teaching in order to exalt one over the other, said the Minister.

“The object of this teaching is to straighten out the planet that is confused now about the origin of man,” said Minister Farrakhan. “You cannot find our origin! We are the origin and our originator is God himself!”

The White race is styled in scripture under the name Adam, which represents their rule and civilization made in opposition to God, the Minister explained.

“Adam was born to rule. He was the God of a new world,” which is why Whites do not like to submit to those they deem to be inferior, especially Blacks, said the Minister.

“White people do not like to submit to Black authority. That’s the problem in America that a Black man is a president but many Whites are angry, that a Black man is living in the White House,” said Minister Farrakhan, as the crowd thundered its applause. “Obama has brought out the best in White people and, unfortunately, he has brought out the worst. He’s a good man, but he is part of a plan that wasn’t in his mind.”

“Barack Obama is a good man, but he is in the hands of the people that planned his ascension to become president of the United States,” said Minister Farrakhan. These wicked forces want to use the president to divert Blacks from their destiny as world rulers and sell Blacks and the Muslim world on the false idea that America has changed, he warned.

True identity and stolen birthright

Muslims respect and honor Jerusalem as Islam’s third holiest city behind Mecca and Medina; however, Jerusalem, which means “founded in peace,” has not known any peace since it was taken over by the modern state of Israel in 1948, Minister Farrakhan said. He also pointed out that the Original Hebrews are Black.

“If the White race is under the name Israel, where did the name Jew come from?” asked the Minister. “Adam never said he was a Jew. Abraham didn’t say he was a Jew. Moses didn’t say he was a Jew.”

Reading from Romans 2:17, he described those who call themselves Jews, but live contrary to the law of God. He also described how Rebekah, the mother of twin brothers Jacob and Esau, through trickery, deceived their father Isaac, which allowed Jacob to steal his brother Esau’s birthright.

“These are usurpers of your history,” said Minister Farrakhan. “We are the elder and we are serving the younger and the younger is ruling the elder.”

Further outlining the point, Minister Farrakhan used a display screen which showed the seal of the United States of America.

On the seal is an eagle, a bird of prey, holding arrows symbolizing war in one claw, and an olive branch symbolizing peace in another claw.

“They talk peace but grow strong through war,” he said. “This is Israel, the conqueror of the world. The conqueror of space, the conqueror of the depths of the sea, the conqueror of the people of God! But the scripture says, though you exalt yourself above the stars of heaven, yet will I bring you down to the sides of the pit of hell. God has come after the children of Israel.”

The nine feathers in the eagle’s tail symbolize the Supreme Court justices and in a halo above the eagle are 13 stars, but if the outline of the stars are traced, they form the Star of David, the sign of what is now called Israel, Minister Farrakhan explained.

Black people in America are a carcass, the remains of a once great people controlled by Satanic forces, instead of reflecting God, he said.

“You are not now the children of God, you are the children of Israel!” he declared. “You are not made now in the image and likeness of God—you are made in the image and likeness of White people who have conquered you and mastered you and made you into themselves!”

“God had a purpose for the children of Israel and that was to go into a land that had already been carved out for them, but they had to break away from Pharaoh in order that God might fulfill his promise to them, take them through the wilderness into a land of their own,” Minister Farrakhan explained.

The spirit and atmosphere was electric and the standing-room crowd rose often to its feet and regularly interrupted the enlightening and cogent message with applause.

Those who call themselves Jews in these modern times, the European Jews, also referred to as the Ashkenazi Jews, did not fulfill that prophecy, Minister Farrakhan said. Zionism, which led to the modern state of Israel in occupied Palestine, was a movement for a nation developed in Europe, and it first considered taking land in the African nation of Uganda before the fledgling United Nations, composed of a few states, sanctioned creation of the state of Israel in the Middle East, he said. But the state of Israel has had no peace and will never have peace based on lying and injustice and using God’s name as a shield for unrighteous and unjust deeds, he said.

Deception in a time of separation

“How did we get a Black president?” the Minister asked. “Because those Satanic Jews know the time, that this is the time of your separation from them and that God wants to give you a land of your own as the cornerstone of the kingdom of God. The stone that all the builders rejected is to become the headstone of the corner. That’s you! That’s your future and they know it!”

The moment the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said it was time for Black people to separate, those teaching integration went into overdrive in order to make Black people and the world think that White people have changed, he noted.

“Who are these people who call themselves Jews?” the Minister asked. “There were some European Jews that converted to Judaism and from them came the Zionist movement. The Zionist movement did not start in Palestine, it started in Europe. That’s why they don’t like (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad.”

Minister Farrakhan then spoke briefly about his dinner September 20 with the Iranian President Ahmadinejad and 100 Muslim leaders in New York. Minister Farrakhan described how the media deviously portrayed the event as subversive and secretive. Though it was a closed meeting, there were Muslim leaders from across the U.S. present, and photos were published in The Final Call.

“Ahmadinejad said since [you say] the Holocaust took place in Europe, you should have asked the Germans to carve out some of Germany,” said the Minister. “The Palestinians did not kill them. The Palestinians did not put them in ovens. The Palestinians did not segregate them and make them put on a Jewish star so they can be dealt with.”

It was their own Gentile brothers who targeted the Jews, he said.

Prophecy and the modern Jesus

The Bible’s four Gospels are tied to an historic Jesus who spoke in parables and was a sign of a Christ-figure in the last days of White rule—not the Jesus who fulfills prophecy today, the Minister said. The Holy Qur’an presents a picture of the angels revealing to Mary that she would have a child that would be the Messiah. Messiah is a function, not a name. He—the Messiah—would speak to the people in the cradle, and at old age. Scriptures say God will “teach him The Book and The Wisdom and The Torah and The Gospel,” Minister Farrakhan said.

The Islamic scripture also says God “will make him a messenger to the Children of Israel,” he added.

“This is what you found here today,” said Minister Farrakhan. “I didn’t just tell you what the book said; I told you what it meant because I met with Jesus. I’ve been taught by Jesus and I am his principal disciple,” said Minister Farrakhan. “You are to receive the Messiah himself as your teacher! That’s the good news of the Gospel that you are the people to receive a visit from God and He is going to raise one from your midst and make him your Messiah!”

After the appearance of the Messiah, the Jews began to plan his death, and so it is today with those who desire to, “with ingenuity and skill,” make Black people ungrateful and rejecters of their own salvation, the Minister warned.

“That Jesus that I am talking about is the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. That Jesus that you must become acquainted with is the man that taught me that I can represent him to you,” said Minister Farrakhan. “I was born to make his message clear to the world!”

Obedience to that message will mean Blacks rising to world rulership by God’s permission and ushering in His kingdom, the Minister said.
