SUPPLEMENT
1) What significance is there in Allah's (God's) introduction of Himself as the Best Knower?
We are looking at "I".
In the Book of Proverbs 3:5,6, we are told: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."
Note the plural "ways" and "paths". In Surah 70 of the Holy -Qur'an He is called "Lord of the ways of ascent".
He tells us He is the Best Knower that we may recognize that He, Allah (God), must become the True Center of everything that we think and do.
In each one of us He has placed a certain gift, the fulfillment of which causes us to make our contribution to the whole. Since Allah (God) is the Giver of all gifts and the Nourisher of us all unto perfection, it is only proper that He be acknowledged as the True Center of our existence.
If He directs a path, then it will ultimately lead to Him. His Attributes are Perfect, His are the Best of names. This means that with His direction, we achieve excellence in whatever field we choose.

"You are the center of nothing. And you are deluding yourself if you think you are. There is always a True Center and you are not it; neither am I." Self Improvement p.14)
I say that we delude ourselves because in perceiving ourselves as the center, we lose the benefits of the only One Who has absolute power to bring our desires to fruition.
This is verified by the Holy Qur'an, where Allah (God) asks the question:
"What is the matter with you that you hope not for greatness from Allah? And indeed He has created you by various stages. See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens alike and made the moon therein a light and made the sun a lamp? And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth as a growth, then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a new bringing forth. And Allah has made the earth a wide expanse for you that you may go along therein in spacious paths."(72:13-20)
In the Bible, we find Moses objecting to the Lord's command that he lead the children of Israel out of Egypt:
I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? Or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not 1, the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say." (Exodus 4: 10, 11)
If you or I choose to pursue psychology, the study of the mind, we should ask, "Who made man's mind?" It is the Originator and the Maker Who will lead us to new discoveries; to perfection in our respective fields. If He is the Center of our thinking to new discoveries; we will transcend the understanding of those before us.
"And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him and we are nearer than his life-vein." (50:16)
Allah (God) keeps us from ever being slaves to the writers of books and the scholars whose knowledge of their own field is not absolute.
It is only Allah (God) Who knows best about all things. He is the Best Guide, Best Teacher, Best Director.
2) Why does Allah (God) question Jesus concerning that which he taught the people?
The false teachers of Christianity have deceived a great number of people all over the Planet Earth into believing that Jesus and his mother, Mary, are equals

Allah (God) is the True Center of Everything - Page 5

with the Creator. This has served to expand and perpetuate -polytheism, the gravest of sins.
"Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth! How could He have a son when He has no consort? And He created everything and He is the knower of all things...That is Allah, your Lord. There is no God but He; the Creator of all things ... Vision comprehends Him not and He comprehends all vision; and He is the Subtle, the Aware." Holy Qur'an 6:102
Jesus never taught the people to worship him, he taught the people to worship Allah (God) alone. Both the Bible and the Holy Qur'an attest to his complete and perfect devotion to a Power greater than himself.
"I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things." John 8:28
Jesus was able to deny guilt of setting himself up as a God besides Allah, both in the Holy Qur'an and the Bible.
"I said to them naught save as Thou didst command me: Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord; and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die Thou wast the Watcher over them. And Thou art Witness of all things." Holy Qur'an 5:117
"And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only True God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified Thee on the earth; I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do." John 17:3
"While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name." John 17:12
These scriptural passages plainly reject the false conception that Allah (God) has a son, partner or associate. But the false teachers of religion have misguided the thinking of the people.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but, after their own lusts, shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3,4
A person who teaches people must make sure that he or she is clear of the thought of trying to become the center or focus of the Believer. -
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad always said that he wanted to be in his place and not in the place of his Sender. "I don't want to get out of my place."

Allah (God) is the True Center of Everything - Page 6

If we have been guilty of teaching the people to make us the focus of their worship, then we must correct the wrong. It is painful to undo what we have done incorrectly. But it is a blessing to have the opportunity to correct the wrong; and in so doing, Allah (God) allows us a way to turn the people around and lead them aright.
"Surely I have turned myself, being upright, wholly to Him Who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not of the polytheists." Holy Qur'an 6:80
The dialogue between Allah (God) and His servant, Jesus (Holy Qur'an 5:116,117) places teachers on notice as to how they will be questioned. The criterion of success in the eyes of Allah (God) is not the prophet or teacher's ability to excite the people, nor even to produce reform in the people; the criterion of success is whether he performs his duty correctly. His duty is to teach the oneness of Allah (God) and that nothing is worthy of worship besides Him.
"Yea, whoever fulfills his promise and keeps his duty -- then Allah surely loves the dutiful." Holy Qur'an 3:75
3) Why does Allah (God) question Jesus about his mother, Mary?
Note that Jesus, not Mary, is asked about the people setting her up as a God besides Allah. ,
Had Jesus been guilty of teaching the people to worship. Mary, it would have indicated that she'-, had failed in her duty as a mother.
An infant naturally centers his focus on his mother. It is she who should teach the child Who the True Center is.
"Train up a child in the way he should go and, when he is old, he will not he depart from it." Proverbs.2 22:6
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that 75% of His Work was with the woman. Her importance to the life of a nation cannot be overemphasized in the learning process of the human being.
The Holy Qur'an teaches us that Mary believed in the oneness of Allah (God) and glorified Him.
'Whenever Zacharias entered the sanctuary to see her, he found food with her. He said, 'O Mary, whence comes this to thee? She said, it is from Allah. Surely Allah gives to whom He pleases without measure.' (3:36)

Allah (God) is the True Center of Everything - Page 7

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that a nation can rise no higher than its woman.
The false teachers of religion have conditioned the people to believe that Mary's exaltation was due to being a virgin mother. The belief in this myth causes men and women to become blinded to the fact that Mary, a human being and a female, conceived a child through a man, in accordance with the laws of nature. It was her belief and her righteous conduct that made her pleasing to Allah and an example for all women; a position that can be attained by all women who submit to Him.
And when the angels said: O Mary, surely Allah has chosen thee and purified thee and chosen thee above the women of the world. 0 Mary, be obedient to thy Lord and humble thyself and bow down with those who bow.' (3:41,42)
4) How does Surah 9, Verse 31 of the Holy Qur'an relate to us today?
We take our teachers, preachers, gurus, physicians, nutritionists, spiritual advisors, palm readers, political leaders, critics (art, literature, entertainment), astrologists, sports figures, meteorologists (weathermen), etc., as lords besides Allah.
The deception about Jesus has been of far-reaching impact, but it is not the only deception. Allah (God) warns us against worshipping anyone or anything besides Him.
Throughout the Holy Qur'an we are warned against setting up other human beings, as lords besides Allah:
"Say: Shall I take for a friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds and is not fed? Say: I am command to be of the first, of those who submit. And be thou not of the polytheists." 6:14
"And He is the Supreme, above His servants. And He is the Wise, the Aware." 6:18
"And this world's life is naught but a play and an idle sport. And certainly the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who keep their duty. Do you not then understand?" 6:32
"And if Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none to remove it but He. And if He touch thee with good, He is Possessor of power over all things." 6:17
Only Allah possesses absolute knowledge, wisdom and understanding. None of us are his equal. We must respect one another's intelligence and recognize the limitations in one another. We are all from Him.

Allah (God) is the True Center of Everything - Page 8

And in whatever you differ, the judgment thereof is with Allah. That is Allah, my Lord; on Him I rely and to Him I turn ... Nothing is like Him; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing ... His are the treasures of the heavens and the earth --- He amplifies and straitens subsistence for whom He pleases. Surely He is Knower of all things." Surah 42, "The Counsel". Verses 10-12.
If we make these persons our center because we study from them, then their limitations become our own limitations, for they become our reference point.
Since Allah (God) is the True Center of all existence, then He and He alone is the only True reference point. Any other reference point will take us off point.
In all of our studies, we should begin with a look at His Word. We are conditioned to seek and then recite the writings of teachers and scholars as authorities above Allah (God).
We should consult the Holy Qur'an, asking, "What does the Best Knower say about this?" Then we use the scholars and scientists as witness bearers of His Truth.
We don't take seriously the Holy Qur'an or site. There is a tendency for Muslims to exalt the Hadith (sayings) of Prophet Muhammad above the word of the Holy Qur'an. Some Christians focus more on Paul than on the revealed word through Jesus. A true follower of Jesus or Muhammad will keep the people focused on Allah (God).
5) Analyze the problems of the Caucasian's world in the context of this study guide.
In analyzing the problems of the Caucasian's world, recognize that the problem is that he is trying to make himself the focus of the people. He is trying to make the people take his way of thinking, living and civilization, not Allah's (God's).
America is not a nation in obedience to Allah (God), therefore she cannot be the true center of power.
The Caucasian people have set up institutions that reflect a damaged perception of reality.
The institutions of this world are the stewards of the Life Force; in charge of the people of Allah (God). Looking at the world, there is a need for a change. The world leaders and teachers have failed to bring in the righteous fruits of the vineyard; therefore, they have failed to produce from their wisdom that which is acceptable to Allah (God).

Allah (God) is the True Center of Everything - Page 9

To "institute" means to -start or initiate". The institutions have failed precisely because they were not founded on Allah (God) as the center. Therefore, they have failed to assist the individual in becoming a master of Self, a controller of Self. They do not teach a God-centered chemistry, psychology, law, medicine, etc.
The children of the institutions ("alma mater") are bringing pain and suffering because they were not taught from a God-centered base. This has resulted in anarchy and complete and total rebellion.
In our lessons given to us by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad are our general orders. General Order Number 1 is "To take charge of this post and all temple property in view."
How can one take charge of "this post" (Self) when one knows nothing of Self and is neither cultivated nor developed in the proper way to take charge of Self?
The institutions are responsible for fostering the growth of the individual that he or she may take responsibility for Self. This they have failed to do.
A steward acts for another. The home, the school, the church, are only to be responsible for the individual for a certain period of time. But during that time, each one of these institutions is to feed the individual that the individual may recognize what life is, or the choices that he may make: heaven or hell, the two conditions of life.
The institutions have responsibility for feeding and nurturing the will that it be strengthened in the way of right; cultivate the natural desires and show those in its charge how to develop the desires that are proper and curb the desires that are improper; to develop their natural intelligence that they may distinguish between the proper and the improper and the will to bring into fruition what is right.
The failure of the institutions to perform their function renders them obsolete and justifies their removal by Allah (God) and He says, "Behold! I make all things new."

CHAPTER 57
Al-Hadid: Iron
(REVEALED AT MADÍNAH:4 sections ;29 verses )

SECTION 1: Establishment of the Kingdom of God

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1 Whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares the glory of Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

2 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death; and He is Possessor of power over all things.

3 He is the First and the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden, a and He is Knower of all things.

4 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, and He is established on the Throne of Power. He knows that which goes down into the earth and that which comes forth out of it, and that which comes down from heaven and that which goes up to it. And He is with you wherever you are. And Allah is Seer of what you do.

5 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and to Allah are (all) affairs returned.

6 He causes the night to pass into the day, and causes the day to pass into the night. And He is Knower of what is in the hearts.

7 Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend of that whereof He has made you heirs. So those of you who believe and spend —for them is a great reward.

Part 27 ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

who believe and spend —for them is a great reward.

8 And what reason have you that you believe not in Allah? And the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord, and He has indeed accepted your covenant, if you are believers.

9 He it is Who sends down clear messages to His servant, that he may bring you forth from darkness into light. And surely Allah is Kind, Merciful to you.

10 And what reason have you that you spend not in Allah’s way? And Allah’s is the inheritance of the heavens and the earth. Those of you who spent before the Victory a and fought are not on a level (with others). They are greater in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. And Allah has promised good to all. And Allah is Aware of what you do.

SECTION 2: Light and Life given by the Prophet

11 Who is he that will offer to Allah good gift, so He will double it for him, and he will have a generous reward.

12 On that day thou wilt see the faithful men and the faithful women, their light gleaming before them and on their right hand. Good news for you this day!—Gardens wherein rivers flow, to abide therein! That is the grand achievement.

13 On the day when the hypocrites, men and women, will say to those who believe: Wait for us, that we may borrow from your light. It will be said: Turn back and seek a light. Then a wall, with a door in it, will be raised between them. Within it shall be mercy, and outside of it chastisement.

14 They will cry out to them: Were we not with you? They will say: Yea, but you caused yourselves to fall into temptation, and you waited a and doubted, and vain desires deceived you, till the threatened punishment of Allah came, and the arch-deceiver deceived you about Allah.

15 So this day no ransom will be accepted from you, nor from those who disbelieved. Your abode is the Fire; it is your patron a and evil is the resort.

16 Has not the time yet come for the believers that their hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allah and the Truth that is revealed, and (that) they should not be like those who were given the Book before, but time was prolonged for them, so their hearts hardened. And most oft he mare transgressors.

Part 27 LIGHT AND LIFE GIVEN BY THE PROPHET

17 Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death. Indeed, We have made the signs clear for you that you may understand.

18 The men who give in charity and the women who give in charity and set apart for Allah a goodly portion, it will be doubled for them, and theirs is a generous reward.

19 And those who believe in Allah and His messengers, they are the truthful and the faithful ones with their Lord. They have their reward and their light. And those who disbelieve and reject Our messages, they are the inmates of hell.

SECTION 3:Truth shall be Established

20 Know that this world’s life is only sport and play and gaiety and boasting among yourselves and a vying in the multiplication of wealth and children. It is as rain, whose causing the vegetation to grow pleases the husband men, then it withers away so that thou seest it turning yellow, then it becomes chaff. And in the Hereafter is a severe chastisement, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and (His) pleasure. And this world’s life is naught but a source of vanity.

21 Vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and
Garden the extensiveness of which is as the extensiveness of the heaven and the earth a —it is prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. That is the grace of Allah; He gives it to whom He pleases. And Allah is the Lord of mighty grace. boasting among yourselves and a vying in the multiplication of wealth and children. It is as rain, whose causing the vegetation to grow pleases the husband men, then it withers away so that thou seest it turning yellow, then it becomes chaff. And in the Hereafter is a severe chastisement, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and (His) pleasure. And this world’s life is naught but a source of vanity.

Part 27 TRUTH SHALL BE ESTABLISHED

22 No disaster befalls in the earth, or in yourselves, a but it is in a book before We bring it into existence —surely that is easy to Allah —

23 So that you grieve not for what has escaped you, nor exult in that which He has given you. And Allah loves not any arrogant boaster:

24 Such as are niggardly and enjoin niggardliness on men. And whoever turns back, then surely Allah is the Self-Suf ficient, the Praised.

25 Certainly We sent Our messengers with clear arguments, and sent down with them the Book and the measure, that men may conduct themselves with equity. And We sent down iron, wherein is great violence and advantages to men, and that Allah may know who helps Him and His messengers, unseen. Surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.

SECTION 4: Double Reward for Believers

26 And certainly We sent Noah and Abraham, and We gave prophet hood and the Book to their offspring; so among them is he who goes aright, but most of them are transgressors.

27 Then We made Our messengers to follow in their footsteps, and We made Jesus son of Mary to follow, and We gave him the Gospel. And We put compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. And (as for) mockery, they innovated it —We did not prescribe it to them—only to seek Allah’s pleasure but they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, utmost of them are transgressors.

28 O you who believe, keep your duty to Allah and believe in His Messenger — He will give you two portions of His mercy, and give you a light in which you shall walk, and for-give you. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful —

Part 27 DOUBLE REWARD FOR BELIEVERS

29 That the People of the Book may know that they control naught of the grace of Allah, and that grace is in Allah’s hand. He gives it to whom He pleases. And Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.

There is but one life and that is Divine Life. All life comes from water, is that right? Water is H20, is that right? It has three (3) stages, or, it can take three (3) forms, depending upon the condition of the atmosphere. If the temperature falls 32 degrees and below, water changes form and becomes what? Ice. If it is 32 degrees and above, to 212 degrees, it becomes what? Liquid. When it gets above 212 degrees, it becomes what? Steam, or gas. God gives you Divine Life. Ice is the opposite of steam. God is the opposite of Devil. There is but one life. God gives you life. Now, how do you live it? If you live it in a negative way, under the influence of your own life force that you will not struggle to master, then you become a devil in your person. You become an opposer to the Will of God in your person. There is no devil outside of you giving you hell, it is you, the devil of yourself, raising hell with yourself and on the Earth.

Does this negate what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught? No! This bears witness to what he taught. The more you struggle to gain mastery over yourself, the closer you come to God. It is faith in God that stretches you towards Him. It is your faith in Him that makes you move closer to Him to connect with Him. And when you connect with Him, Heaven and Earth meet.

This is why, in the Book (I think it is Genesis), Jacob wrestled with an angel all night long, until his life was preserved. You have to wrestle with the God Force in your own Self, in order to advance. If you do not wrestle and overcome with an intelligent, enlightened, mature mind, you become a devil.

We have reached the point, or place in time, where the childlike, mischievous, bloodshedding nature of man is threatening his own existence. Man's desire to become the center has ruined his own world.

Now, I am going to speak specifically to Caucasian people---without malice, without hatred, just speaking to the facts. You have desired to be the center of the life of all other peoples of the world. You want your culture, your way of looking at God, your way of looking at life, to be what they perceive reality is. And because you desire that like a child, to be the center of everything; white folks, you are not the center; you have got to take your place. Listen to me good! Your desire to be the center has ruined you, ruined your soul and ruined your nation and ruined your world. You are not the center. God has always been (the center), but you won't recognize Him, with your proud, arrogant, haughty, self-conceited, boastful, mischiefmaking, bloodshedding malice.

It is this childishness that produces racism. 'Well, my color is better than yours. See, I am white.' Or, the reverse, "My color is better than yours, I am Black.' 'Well, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Black is beautiful.' It is; it should be to you. But, if you take that to the extreme, you will become what you condemn. If Black is so beautiful, and you are so supreme, how can you walk with the Indians? How can you walk with the Chicanos? How can you walk with another human being? If Black is supreme today. I am the Black man.' 'Well, you ain't so Black.' 'Well, I'm Black enough.' Then it starts getting ridiculous. Chinese people saying, 'It's time for the slanted-eyed people to rule. Only rice-eaters rule today.' Mexicans say, 'No, no, no. It's tortilla time.' These are children. These little children playing childlike games with the Divine Force of Life. You cannot do it. This has messed you up, white folks. And it will mess you up, Black man. We cannot play that kind of game.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught you Blackness, because the Caucasian had made you hate what God had created you to be. He didn't teach us Blackness for us to be another mischiefmaking devil in the name of Blackness.

Sexism: 'I'm a man. I run this thing. Get in the home where you belong, woman. Shut up! You don't speak here. Cook! Sew! And, above all, have babies.' That is a hell of a mischief-making role to put a woman in and make you a 'thing'. And you, with your silly self, you go along with it.

Here is a man who dresses you up like a piece of meat and you don't care to be anything but a piece of meat for a man to look at and measure. 'I'm 36-23-42.' Sex is created thing, that man, in his mischievous, childlike nature, wants to abuse now. Look at you little devils. We are messed up.

'My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty.' I can see President Reagan now, standing there with his hand over his heart, tears running out of his eyes, as the Statue of Liberty is lit; a big overgrown, child. Mischief-making child! What makes America greater than any other nation? Nationalism is a curse when you put your nation above others. It is righteousness that exalteth a nation, not technology. You are not righteousness, you are a self-inflated, self-conceited, selfish, self-centered, vain, egotistical, proud, arrogant six-day-old child.

'More gold! More gold! Anybody got gold? Well, I'll take the gold. Alright, you Indians, I marched you all out West, put you on the worst land I could put you on, now I find that you have the last energy resources in America. Indians, I am coming after you one more time. I want the oil; I want the uranium; I want the gas; and I don't care how many human lives, how many babies I kill, because I am a mischief-making, bloodshedding, child. I am a Devil in human form.'

I know that there are 22 million Black people in South Africa, but we whites, we have the right to take this land. We have the right! We built these cities, we built these towns. These niggers didn't do anything! Get in the mines and get the gold! Get in the mines and get the diamonds! That's all you are good for. Your human life, your human potential, means nothing. You are Black!' You are a devil. This is Satan Botha talking, Satan Thatcher talking. They are deliberating over our lives. Satan, Devil, Beast in human forms. 'I thought you stopped calling people devils.' I call you what you are.

I do not say this with hate; I want you to see that you are facing the challenge of your life, because now your white racism is producing a backlash. Now, Black people want to assert their Blackness and they have a better 'rap'. You tried to make us think we are inferior, but when a Black man says, 'I am the Original Man', you cannot deny it. You cannot say that we are making up a lie. How can we be inferior, and we produced you (you didn't produce us)? How could we be inferior and your genes have their origins in our genetic structure? How could we be inferior and we slept in order to allow you to rule? We are waking up, now, you cannot rule us any more.

So the Yellow Man is coming up, asserting his power today. The Brown Man, in Japan is coming up, asserting his power, today. The Black Man, in Africa, the Caribbean, America and the Isles of the Pacific, is coming up today, reaching for his power. But, it is a childlike reaching that is producing bloodshed and more bloodshed. But God said, 'I know what you know not.'

'I know that he is a Mischief-maker, but he can come out of that. I know he is a little devil now, but I am going to make him a God after a while. Yes, he is going to fulfill all of the evil that he can do, until he is dissatisfied with his own rebelliousness. He is going to long for a change and that is when I will come. I will come in the fullness of Time. I will come after the works of Satan. And I will offer Man a chance to redeem himself.' Look at it, Brothers and Sisters. This is your Bible, really, opened up in front of your eyes. When the Bible talks about the resurrection of the dead, it is not talking about people coming up out of cemeteries, it is talking about the Divine Light of God coming up out of you after it has been frozen in the death of a childlike existence.

In my conclusion: Adam fell and Adam's fall is only a picture of man's fall from his Divine position with God. Adam was no shallow creature. Adam was a man who had power over angels. He was born to take God's place in the rulership over this domain; born with that potential. But he disobeyed; he transgressed and he fell. 'Fall' does not mean he fell out of the heaven onto the Earth. 'Fall means when you fall from your spiritual power, your moral make-up. You become and animal in human form. That is a fall, Brothers and Sisters. And I suggest to you, with deep respect, that Humanity has fallen and become cheap, base animals in human form.

You could not do the things that you do, if you were not an animal in human form. You don't steal from another human being. You don't beat up an old man or hit an old woman in the head. This is not white people doing this; this is you, Black man, doing this to yourself. You don't take a young girl and throw her down in an alley and rape her. She is not offering herself to you; that is the act of an animal, a sick, depraved mind. You are a sick people and you need a doctor. This 'Black and proud' stuff is not where it's at anymore, Brothers. You are sick and you need a doctor., You need to come up out of that condition because you have become an enemy to yourself.

The Old Testament is a testament of Law. Moses brought a law. You don't give laws to a righteous people. Look at his law: 'Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not kill.' What kind of people is this?

God gave Moses a law for this world. As long as that law existed, the wickedness of man was kept under the wrap of a righteous law. But, when Nimrod broke the civilization of Moses, he broke the law. Once there was no law, wickedness rushed out of the people's souls, because they were wicked and the law made them look right.

Jesus came into the world and the people said 'He doesn't come preaching the law.' They were so dark in their minds, they killed him. Now, we are 6,000 years from Adam. We are at the end of the law. God doesn't come to control you with law. Law is only a cover for your wickedness, it does not make you better. Listen!
