The Dragon

To the radio audience, I am Elijah Muhammad, the preacher of freedom, justice, and equality to the American so-called Negro, not Negroes, but really lost and found members of the great Black Asiatic Nation from the Tribe of Shabazz.

As Almighty God, Allah has taught me, in the person of Master Farad Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever, for coming in this part of the world, giving to us the knowledge of self and the knowledge of others, the knowledge of God and the knowledge of the devil, and making clear and understandable that which we had never before was unable to understand of the truth.

Today we are thankful, who have heard this truth coming from the mouth of Almighty God in the person of Master Farad Muhammad, that which we had never heard, that which we did not even hope to hear. We are thankful and give praise to Almighty God, Allah, forever for His coming. We are happy regardless to our affliction that we are now suffering. We are still happy because we have every hope and assurance that one day we will also be happy and there will be no affliction.

We don't look forward, as the Christian preachers preaches, to die and go into the earth and rise again out of the Earth and get joy out of a life of spirits. We expects all of this joy in this life, and not a spirit life, for Almighty God Allah has revealed to us the truth. We has been talking on, rather teaching, on true religion, which is a great subject which we shall continue after this. We are going to pick up what we has been writing on for the last few weeks.

The great dragon of the 12th chapter of the Revelation, the Bible, the name given there to the devil according to the Bible in the 9th verse of the 12th chapter. It says the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the Earth and his angels were cast out with him. 

This I can say truthfully, that for the last few weeks of writing on this particular subject, in chapter 12 of the Revelation, you that has been reading it now understand who really the dragon is. The dragon is that particular person or people that is called the devil, the Satan. This particular chapter, the 12th chapter, gives us a good knowledge that this is not no spook or spirit or something other than human.

The dragon is a human being and we find it here in the 3rd verse of the same chapter, the 12th. In the 3rd verse of this 12th chapter it reads something like this: and there appeared another wonder in heaven and the holy great red dragon having 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns upon his head. Seven crowns upon his head! This cannot refer to a savage four-footed beast or legs. It cannot refer to some spirit. This refers to a human being or beings. And the name dragon is given according to the characteristics or work of that being.

I say, a very good interpretation or proper name for this word or name dragon is because that the particular wicked character whom the prophet gives this name to, drags people, the good people, away from good and induce evil instead of good for them. He's ever dragging the righteous from the path of righteousness, away from Allah the true and living God. Deceiving them as it teaches us here in the 9th verse. He deceived the whole world. 

No snake, no beast can deceive us. It takes another human being with intelligent brains like ours, or more intelligent than ours to deceive us. When one deceives another in the human family, he's given credit that he have a little more brains, or little more skill in tricking the other one and making the other one a prisoner or prey to his knowledge. 

So it is with the serpent or dragon here referred to in Genesis and also the Revelation. The first and the last book mention this serpent. The serpent here is a human being. He had the voice of a man or people in the garden of paradise. He could speak even Adam's own language and he understood the language of God. 

So therefore it was not a really snake as someone has made you to believe in the past to blind you further to the knowledge of actually who the serpent really is. That they said that even the snake used to walk. But having the language to speak and converse with human beings was also to be reckoned with. 

If he walked on 4 feet on a 100 feet, how about that language? Could he speak our language? Or could he deceive us and he being a reptile? Alligators goes on four feet. There's other reptiles today that is crawling and walking on four feet and swimming in water. But they don't deceive us. They're not smart enough. Nature didn't give them that intelligent brains to equal our intelligent brains. So therefore, this particular character under the name serpent or dragon making here in the Bible, in Genesis, and in the Revelation, refers to a human being or many beings.

Why that it's mentioned, or the pronoun he is given to him here are referred to as singular; it's due to the fact that the Revelation is making the very head of the dragon people or the serpent like people. Which only mean their characteristics. This particular dragon is the head of the nation or race and therefore it is mentioned clearly enough for you and I to understand here in the 3rd verse that he had 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns upon his heads. 

Now, this is the head of that particular serpent or dragon; and being given to us or taught to us in symbolic language we find that these heads represents something material. These heads represents government people or actually places where power of the serpent like people or dragon like people rules. 

Many has interpret the 7 heads here as being the 7 hills in which Rome is built upon and actually the dragon being the Pope of Rome. That has been interpreted. I'm not going to deviate from that meanings, because it is clear that it refer to some heads or some head under such title or characteristics of that particular power that is ruling and that power which is opposed to the power of righteousness and justice.

So the head of the dragon is the head of the church of Christianity and also the general ruling power of the Caucasian race according to the way that it is given and interpreted by scientists of religion, of Christianity and other. 

So we here are dealing with a people that whose characteristics is that of a serpent or snake. So this particular people are very evil and trickery; they are tricky people who love to deceive the people. As the 9th verse of the 12th chapter reminds us that he deceived the whole world. Snakes is not a capable of deceiving the whole world. It takes human being to fool, deceive other human beings as I just said.

So this refers to a people that has deceived the whole world. We don't know no people who has the wisdom or brains to deceive the other people of the Earth but the Caucasian race who has actually been the rulers of the people of Earth for the past 6,000 years. It is this race who ruled. It is this race who has ruled and just opposite to right. They have been a people who have ruled the Original people of the Earth under a rule of evil, wickedness and bloodshed. And they has ruled them under deceit. 

This particular people now today are referred to as serpent and dragon, the great red dragon that was found also in heaven. We say heaven; here could mean the whole Earth or in the most holy part of the Earth. If that is referring to the holy part of the earth it means Arabia. Arabia is, and has been, the most holy part of the entire Earth because she can boast of the very origin and birth of most of the prophets that we have history of.

Therefore, the holy or religious people has been found in that part of the world or Earth ever since the creation of Adam, 6,000 years ago. Now, this particular red dragon, if it means the Caucasian race, or the head of Christianity in Rome, we find that this particular race of people in Arabia today and all over the planet Earth. 

And since the 9th verse says that they deceived the whole world, it stands true if they have now gotten power and a hold on that particular country that they can work there, and carry out their own way of civilization in certain parts of that holy and sacred land and people. Then it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this particular 12th chapter and the symbolic serpent and dragon there only means the Caucasian race and the religion which is capable of deceiving the people.

It is true that they have spread their religion all over the Earth, as well as Islam has also gotten a powerful hold on the people of the Earth. But Islam has not both that he has ruled and attracted the people of Earth 100% for the last 2000 or rather for the last 1400 years near. 

But Christianity has gotten a hold of the people throughout the entire Earth. And there are many Muslims who has also went from Islam and has accepted Christianity. But yet we see this particular serpent, this red dragon has been the power and head of the Caucasian race: working, deceitful, and deceiving the people of the Original Nation, the darker people, throughout the Earth.

And today, when there is now a great change or reform coming, and a new religion or new conception of Islam to suit in needs and time that it is now in, a complete new Islam is coming to the people. And the God of Islam is to remove the opposition to Islam today. And this is by going directly to the head of the opposing religions and people. That is what we are now and has entered into. 

It is a war between right and wrong. We know that Allah is true and the only true God. We know that Islam is the only true religion, which means entire submission to the will of Almighty God Allah. We know that, and the world of infidels knows that. It has started now in America, among the so-called Negroes. 

The lost and found members of that great Asiatic Black Nation who has been here, lost from their own people for 400 years, and who has absolutely been deprived of intermixing with their own kind, and has deprived their own kind to come among them and teach them of themselves and of their religion, Islam. This is absolutely true, and the world over knows that. 

So here, let us look at the work of this particular red dragon. The 4th chapter says, his tail drew the 3rd part of the stars of heaven, and it cast them to the Earth. Now, this 3rd part of stars here, represent not only the 3rd part of the people of righteous, but it could refers to the scholars or scientists of Islam; that they themselves, a 3rd of them have agreed, or will agree, on the side of the dragon. Not that it actually will be done, this is just only suggested. 

When we say stars, referring to human being, it means that particular character who has achieved a very great heighth into education or into whatever the case may be; they has become more smarter or wiser in it than anyone else. And therefore we call them stars or who absolutely is more qualified than the general public or the common people of that race or nation. That's why I said it must refers to the scientists. 

But if it refers to the people, that also true, that the dragon probably will carry with him a 3rd of the civilized people of Earth other than his own. Because he have so deceived the whole entire world, and if he has deceived the whole world, it is possible that he can carry along with him a 3rd of that particular world that he has deceived even after he has been made manifest to the world that he is a deceiver. And since they have to prove that he is a deceiver, he could keep and hold in subjections to his deceit, or power to deceive, a 3rd of those whom he had already deceived. 

It says that this particular dragon, or the devil here, stood before a woman which was ready to be delivered to the father of her child as soon as it was born. This woman that the dragon stand before can't easily be understood. 

If the dragon is people, and the woman has got to be people, and if he stands before her, it means he is hindering her, as one is in front of another to impede the other's progress in the race or in going forward. This is what it is referred to here, that the dragon stands before the woman to impede her progress or to destroy her progress in delivering her child as she had planned. 

Now, the woman could stand for a messenger of God who is pregnant with the conversion or the resurrection of a people or a great nation of people. Or it could refer to the coming of God in person, that the dragon hindered God or stands before God to keep him from performing his purpose or duty to deliver a people that is now ready to be delivered.

Let us look at this again, at the possibility of such dragon hindering the birth of that child and his evil intention is to devour it as soon as it is born. So he watches it. He's before her and he intend to be at the birth of the child because he don't intend that the child should be born and then grew up. So he's waiting for the birth of this child in order to destroy it as soon as it is born and that will keep it from growing up coming mature. If it ever comes to mature then he would not be able to destroy the child. So he wanted to get it in its infancy. 

This refers to here, if we understand it clearly, as which I believe we do, according to the time, the work and the history of the prophets in the past and their followers and according to our understanding of the last messenger and his followers before the general judgment of the wicked, refers to none other than the American so-called Negro.

They are ready to be resurrected. Their time have arrived, that they should be resurrected according to this same book, the Revelation here, in another place, it says that the time of the dead. That they should rise and that they should be given knowledge and words that the particular chapter mentions this particular time as being the time of the dead, meaning that they should rise and come to life, a people that is mentally dead.

And here stands a dragon or an enemy to that people to prevent their rise or resurrection into the knowledge of God and the knowledge of the devil. So therefore, they stand ready to destroy them and this means no other than the people that we are now living with here in America. We find that we are hindered here to become converts to Almighty God Allah and the religion of Islam. 

What's going on in Los Angeles today? It is a trial of my followers before the courts of the infidel, and before the people that have proven themselves enemies of my fathers and myself and all of my people, the darker people of Earth. They have proven themselves openly that they are the enemies of Black man, and they have proven that they are against the Negro in America from becoming a Muslim. Therefore, they stands in the way of the converting of the Negro into Islam in America.

My time is now up, the half an hour is up. And so I will continue this broadcast on the same subject next week at the same hour if permitted. I thank you who has been listening. May the peace, the blessing of Almighty God be with you as I say unto you in the Arab greetings, as-salaam alaikum.
