my pleasure to be back in thestudio with you once again. I like
to take the time out, asI always do, to give a special
shout out to all of the brothersand sisters out there that show your love
and support to the Gospel of MancolmX's podcast. It is truly appreciated.
(00:26):
So Happy New Year to all ofyou guys. Thank you for coming back
with me in the new year.I know it's been a while since I've
done an episode, and tonight's episode, I'm thinking it's gonna be kind of
short. Just want to make afew quick points on an interesting, more
spiritual subject for the Gospel of MalcolmX's podcast this year to bring in the
(00:49):
new year. And I'm also somegood news is that we're gonna be moving
some more of the episodes over tothe YouTube as well, so I'm gonna
kind of figure out a channel nameor so, but those of you that's
already followed me on following me onYouTube tube, you'll start to see some
(01:11):
of the episodes there, so thatwill be yet another platform where you guys
can listen to the material, sharethe material, follow up on research with
the material, et cetera, andjust to expose the gospel of malchaelm X
to a larger audience. I havebeen purposely avoiding YouTube for some time,
(01:32):
but I think this year you're gonnasee more of more content on the platform.
Maybe not every episode, but alot more content on the YouTube platform.
And this will probably be one ofthe episodes that goes there. So
my topic today, and it's fittingthat it is a Sunday, is going
(01:56):
to be Jesus, Machael X andthe Essene. And this is a very
good topic because a lot of peopledon't know about the historical first century community
called thees Scenes. A lot ofpeople have been in church all their lives
and don't know about Jesus' affiliation withthees Scenes. And even with the Internet,
(02:21):
a lot of people don't know.And this information is more available now
than ever before with the invention ofthe Internet. But there was a great
thinker back in the nineteen fifties andsixties named Malcolm X who was aware of
Jesus's connection to thees Scenes, andhe wrote about it in his book,
The Autobiography of malchaelm X. SoI want to share that information here that
(02:46):
you know, Michael X was spirituallyin tune. He was not only just
a political leader, but he hadtrue spiritual discernment, in my opinion,
on every topic except the lodge Muhammad. That was Elijah, and he even
cracked that coconut towards the end ofhis life. But while he was in
(03:07):
his prim of course, Elijah Muhammadthat he had a weakness, that was
his blind spot, and even someof the leadership there. He just loved
Elija Muhammad and he loved the nationof Islam. But once his eyes were
opened, they were open. Butfor this man to have to know this
information that, like I said,there's a lot of people that's been in
(03:29):
church all of their lives and don'tand don't understand the spiritual significance of a
community like the Essenes and what theymeant for the followers of Christ and for
ushering in that energy, the truespirituality, the true freedom movement, peace
movement, et cetera. I thinkthat that has to be understood. So
(03:55):
I'm going to be reading from theautobiography of Malcolm X in my version.
I'm reading an online version. Itis on page one ninety and I'm actually
going to read further than the partwhere he just talks about the scenes,
because in last the last episode Idid in November, I talked about when
(04:19):
he he had the issue with Kennedy, right, So that was in the
last episode that I did in November, and so he actually talks about that
right after this passage. So Iwant to follow up with that because we
get to hear more of Malcolm talkingabout it in his own words. So
(04:43):
he says, non Muslims who knewme well, and even some of the
white reporters with whom I had regularcontact with, were telling me wherever I
went, Malcolm, X, youlook tired. You need rest. They
didn't know a fraction of it sinceI had been a Muslim. This was
the first time any white people reallygot to me in a personal way.
I could tell that some of themwere really honest. And sincere one of
(05:04):
these whose name I won't call,he might lose his job, said Malcolm,
X, the whites needs your voiceworse than the Negroes. I remember
so well his saying this because itprefaced the first time since I became a
Muslim that I had ever talked withany white man at any length about anything
except the nation of Islam, andthe American black man struggled today. I
(05:26):
can't remember how or why he somehowhappened to mention the Dead Sea scrolls.
I came back with something like,yes, those scrolls are going to take
Jesus off the stained glass windows andthe frescos where he has been lily white,
and put him back into the intothe true mainstream of history, where
Jesus actually was non white. Thereporter was surprised, and I went on
(05:50):
that the Dead Sea scrolls were goingto reaffirm that Jesus was a member of
the brotherhood of Egyptian seers, calledthe s scenes a fact already known from
Filo, the famous Egyptian historians historianof Jesus. Toime and the reporter and
now got off on about two goodhours of talking in the areas of archaeology,
(06:13):
history, and religion. It wasso pleasant I almost forgot the heavy
worries on my mind for that briefrespite. I remember. We wound up
agreeing that by the year two thousand, every school child, every school child,
will be taught the true color ofgreat Man of antiquity, So that
hasn't happened, but the information ismore available now. And yes, the
(06:39):
es Scenes also had a strong connectionto Egypt, and Yashua is said to
have also learned and studied in Egypt. And you see from his birth from
that time he traveled into Egypt,which is very fitting. And it seems
like he brought that information back anduse it to teach. So that is
(07:06):
basically the body of our subject todayin terms of Malcolm's understanding of the one
called Jesus or yes, sure inthis way of being a non white person,
a person with Egyptian connections and apart of an Egyptian brotherhood called the
s Scenes. And we're going tolearn about the other groups that existed during
(07:27):
that time and why the s Sceneswas a group that was completely set of
part. And so Malcolm is nowabout to go on and because when he's
saying that there's so much on hismind, this is right at the time
of the Kennedy stuff, and thisis why he talked about looking so stress
and so tired, et cetera.He says, I've said that I expected
(07:51):
headlines momentarily, I hadn't expected thekind which came. No one needs to
be reminded of who got assassinated inDallas Tech on November twenty second, nineteen
sixty three. Within hours after theassassination, I'm telling nothing but the truth,
every Muslim minister from a mister ElijahMuhammad received Every Muslim minister received from
(08:15):
mister Elijah Muhammad a direct in fact, two directors. Every minister was ordered
to make no remarks at all concerningthe assassination. Mister Muhammad instructed that a
press for a comment, we shouldsay no comment. So why is this
important here? Malcolm also mentioned ina previous I believe this was in the
(08:35):
nineteen and the pressor that he didis that, basically, when it's a
Kennedy assassination happened, that Elijahmhammad wascompletely shook. He was completely shaken,
and he had never seen a humanbeing as afraid as Elijah Muhammad was at
that particular time. And so thisis why Elijah Muhammad is sending these orders
(08:58):
down Now. There was a guynamed Hall Hunt who was big in the
in the oil industry and was abig player in Dallas and so pretty much
the top guys I guess assumed orhad some hint that went down to what
Kennedy, since it happened in Dallas, may have been connected to Hall Hunt,
(09:22):
and Elijah wasn't taking any chances withthis information, and that may have
been why he was so shocked duringthe three day During that three day period
where there was no other news tobe heard except relating to the murdered president,
mister Muhammad had previously scheduled. Ihad a previously scheduled engagement in New
(09:45):
York at the Manhattan Center. Hecounseled his coming to speak as we were
unable to get the back money alreadypaid for the rental of the center.
Mister Muhammad told me to speak instead, to speak in his stead, and
so I spoke. At this timeLaija Muhammad supposed to speak in Manhattan.
He counsels the speech. He ain'twant to do no public speaking at that
time. He let Malcolm speak ininstead. Many times since then, I've
(10:09):
looked at the speech notes I usedthat day, which had been prepared at
least a week before the assassination.The time of the title of my speech
was god Oh, he said,the tie I'm sorry, the tide of
my speech was quote God's judgment ofwhite America. It was on the theme
familiar to me of as you sow, so shall you reap? Or how
(10:33):
the hypocritical white man was reaping whathe had sold. The question and answer
period opened, I suppose inevitably withsomeone asking what do you think about President
Kennedy's assassination? What's your opinion?Without a second thought, I said what
I honestly felt, and it was, as I saw it, a case
of the chickens coming home to rust. I said that the hate and white
(10:56):
men had not stopped with the killingof defenseless black people, but that hate
allowed to spread unchecked finally has struckdown this country's chief of state. I
said that it was the same thingthat had happened with Mega Evans, with
Patrice Lamumba, and with Madam Newell'shusband. The headlines and the news broad
(11:16):
has promptly had it Black Muslims MalcolmX. Chickens, Black Muslims, Malcolm
X chickens come home to roost.It makes me feel worried to think of
it all now, all over America, all over the world, some of
the world's most important personages were sayingin various ways, and in a far
stronger ways than I did that America'sclimate of hate had been responsible for presidents
(11:39):
for the president's death. But whenMalcolm X said the same thing, it
was ominous. My regular monthly visitto mister Muhammad was due the next day.
Somehow, on the plane I expectedsomething I've always had strong intuition.
Mister Muhammad and I embraced each otherin greeting. I since some ingredient missing
(12:01):
from his usual amiability, and Iwas suddenly tense to me also very significant.
For years, I had prided myselfthat mister Muhammad and I were so
close that I knew how he feltby how I felt. If he was
nervous, I was nervous. IfI was relaxed, then I knew he
was relaxed. Now I felt attention. First, we talked of other things,
(12:24):
sitting in his living room. Thenhe asked me, I gotta do
my alliged to Muhammad impression. Didyou see the papers this morning? Malcolm?
I said, yes, sir.This was a very bad statement.
He said, the country loved thisman. The country is in mourning.
(12:48):
This is very ill timed. Astatement like that can make it very hard
for Muslims in general, and then, as if mister Muhammad's voice came from
Afar, I heard the words,I will have to silence you for the
next ninety days so that Muslims everywherecan be disassociated from the blunder. I
(13:13):
was numb, but I was afollower of mister Muhammad. Many times I
had said to my own assistance thatanyone in a position to discipline others must
be able to take disciplining himself.I told mister Muhammad, Sir, I
agree with you, and I submitone n ThReD percent. I flew back
to New York, psychologically preparing myselfto tell my Mar's seven assistants that I
(13:37):
had been suspended or silenced. Butto my astonishment, upon my arrival,
I learned that my assistant, myassistance had already been informed. What astonished
me even more, a telegram hadbeen sent to every New York City newspaper
and radio and television statement. Itwas the most quick and thorough publicity job
(13:58):
that I have ever seen the Chicagoofficials initiate. Every telephone where I could
possibly be reached was ringing London,Paris ap UPI, every television and radio
network, and all of the newspaperswere calling. I told them all quote,
I disobeyed mister Muhammad. I submitcompletely to his wisdom. Yes,
(14:20):
I expect to be speaking again afterninety days. Malcolm X's silence it was
hadlines. My first word was,if the scandal broke for the Nation of
Islam within the next ninety days,I would be gagged and I could not
be the most and I could bethe most experienced Muslim and dealing with the
news media. That would make themost of any scandal with the Nation of
Islam. And of course you guysalready know what that scandal was, so
(14:48):
that is pretty much that in termsof how that went. My last episode
was on November twenty second, coveringit for the anniversary. So I felt
that it was good to let Malcolmtell a story in his own words.
And of course I strongly advise allof you guys to read the autobiography of
(15:09):
Malcolm X for yourself. So I'mgoing to bounce back into my Jesus in
the Esscene topic and I'm going tofinish up there. So my next article
is called four Views of Judaism.It was written by Ray Vanderlin on a
website called that the world may knowand it's movements of Jesus Day. Four
(15:35):
views of Jesus, four views ofJudaism. In Jesus Day, there were
varying philosophies within the Jewish faith.While some Jews embraced the Roman rulers,
others resistant with violence. And whereassome Jewish believers lived a simple, isolated
lifestyle, others enjoyed a lifestyle ofwealth and influence. Four predominant religious groups
(15:58):
of marriage Parisees, Sadducees, asscenes, and Zealots. Now, three
of these groups are pretty much mentionedin the New Testament, and you guys
who have studied the New Testament maybe familiar with the Pharisees and the Sadducees
and the zealous some of Peter's homeboys, I mean some of Jesus' homeboys mainly.
The one that comes to mind isPeter was known to be associated with
(16:22):
this group that was referred to aszealots, more of like a revolutionary anti
Roman force that was connected to Jesus. This is why they had problems with
the tax collectors and that whole class, because and they were asking, yes,
sure about the taxes, and ofcourse he gives them the statement he
(16:45):
actually asks for a coin, andI always find it interesting that he asked
for a Roman coin. He asksfor one, meaning this wasn't something that
he was carrying around with him,or most likely this is not something that
he was carrying around with him.This Roman coin not something that he was
using. You know, when hismiracles, he wasn't talking about money or
(17:07):
whatever. He just fed people,et cetera. So he had to actually
ask someone for a Roman coin,and then he told them to render unto
Caesar was doing to Caesar, andto render unto God was doing unto God,
or render unto me was doing tome, right, something like that.
I'm not quoting the exact scrupture,but basically, render unto Caesar was
doing to Caesar, render unto Godwas doing too God some variation of that.
(17:32):
And at least in the churches thatI grew up in, that was
always looked at in a way tosay, hey, pay your taxes because
that's Caesar's so pay your taxes.But the way that I'm looking at it
is is this money is Caesar's money, So that's the money that's doing Like
(17:53):
I'm not even carrying this around withme, you know, like that Caesar's
money hit his head is the onethat's on a coin, you know.
And he answered the question with wisdom. And you have to remember that at
this time religious movements weren't necessarily somethingthat was reviewed as viewed as a threat
(18:17):
in Rome. I'm not gonna saythey had one hundred percent religious freedom,
but it wasn't. It wasn't somethingthat was viewed as a threat as long
as you paid your taxes and youweren't going against the Roman state. Remember
the political idea of someone saying notto not to pay taxes, or someone
even suggesting that would be a lotmore dangerous. And when you talk about
(18:41):
something like a crucifixion, we're talkingabout something that is a Roman form of
execution and it's not something done forreligious ideas. This is something that is
a political statement. So he talksabout the four groups. Of the four
(19:04):
predominant religious groups, the Pharisees,Sadducees, as Sings, and Zealous.
During his ministry, Jesus likely interactedwith all of them, touching the hearts
of some, sparking violent hatred amongothers. First group, Pharisees origins descended
from the Hasidim, freedom fighters ofthe MacCabe error membership, middle class merchants,
(19:26):
merchants numbering about six thousand beliefs.Believed in the entire Old Testament as
law, accepted oral interpretation of theOld Testament. Believed study of Torah was
the highest act of worship. God'sdesire was for people to keep the law.
Believed that bodily resurrection, Believed thatbodily resurrection, believe I'm sorry.
(19:53):
Believed in bodily resurrection and life afterdeath. Their practices supported the synagogues for
tourist study and interpretation, strict detailedobedience to all and written law, and
accepted rome as a necessary evil aslong as they were allowed to practice their
beliefs. And of course you've seenall the time you sure arguing back and
(20:15):
forth with the Pharisees and the Sadduceesas basically opponents that were asking him all
types of tricky questions, trying toget him caught up with the Roman authorities.
Basically, the Pharisees and the Sadduceesremind you of the Nation of Islam
in their plot against Malcolm X.That they were the Jewish class that saw
(20:41):
Jesus, as I guess, arevolutionary force that was a threat to their
call, because this was their callthat they had. So in that scene
where you see Jesus going into thetemple and flipping over the money tables,
you see this is what Malcolm didwhen he exposed a nation of his life.
He was threatening their money and flippingover their money tables because at this
(21:04):
time, and yes you was timewhen he flipped it over, doing passed
over, they were exchanging money forthese like animals and sacrifices and trinkets.
And he said, you turned myfather's house into a den of thieves.
Right, And so Malcolm in someways carried on a lot of that uh,
(21:25):
that revolutionary rhetoric, and he wentagainst these sects of this day that
was profiting off of a religious cult, which is with the Pharisees and the
sagencies were doing. And just likethe Pharisees believed in the Old Testament and
this law and that law, ofcourse you had your you had your the
(21:52):
nation of Islam. People that we'retalking about the lessons in et cetera.
So the third group of people thathe mentions are the scenes s, scenes,
origins registered Maccabees claimed to hire priestsin approximately one seventy eight D possibly
(22:14):
descendant of Sadducees or Pharisees. Preferredisolation in the wilderness to participation in temple
services led by corrupt priests. Beliefsthey need to be withdrawn from corruption.
Believe true priests descended only from Zadoc. Believed I'm probably saying that name wrong.
So to the George homies, II'm saying that name Zadoc wrong.
(22:36):
I apologize. Believed in the rigidadherents to the tour Believed that they have
been chosen to prepare for an eminentarrival of the Kingdom of Guard. Practices,
worked at copying and studying tour,lived in isolated communities, shared property
and communal meals, practice ritual cleansings, and so this is why we said
(22:57):
copying Torah and book and all ofthat. This is kind of what Michael
was referring to when they discovered theDead Sea scrolls. This is how he
said that. Now you're going tosee that Jesus was connected to that group
called the Essenes. Fourth group sellits origin a movement formed against Rome against
a Roman census in sixty and sixa D so six years we're around the
(23:22):
time that they say, you're surewas born. I'm not a mythicist,
and let me say I'm very muchagainst mythicism. For y'all who don't know
what it is. Mythicism is acommon idea that it's in the white community,
but I see it in prevalent inthe Black community, where they try
to say that this person, yes, sure, did not exist. I'm
very much against mythicism. I don'thave any problem with someone necessarily questioning a
(23:48):
story or asking questions or you know, looking at things logically or whatever.
So if you don't believe that thisperson was necessarily born at this time,
or you have a question about thisa question about this fact, I never
have a problem with it. Butto say that someone didn't exist because they
weren't recorded recorded in someone else's historybooks, et cetera, I think it's
(24:11):
just unfair. There's just too manystories and too too much on this subject
for their not to be for thisto be completely myth and there not to
be some kernel of truth here.So I have no problem with anybody questioning
anything, but I think mythicist mythicismis downright in some ways Satanic and a
(24:33):
lot of people that get into thatto that mythicism relief, I mean,
uh, information not released, Uhmythicism point of view to attack uh you're
sure, or to attack religion andsay, hey, none of this existed.
You'll see that a lot of thatinformation wasn't brought up by people that
(24:53):
were Luciferians, you know, Luciferians, et cetera. A lot of that
information is connected to Luciferianism, andwe all know that that's not taking you
anywhere where good. So the beliefsof the zel It it says their theology
(25:14):
resemble that of the Pharisees, whoeverthey believed only God could rule, Slavery
was the worst, even taxes weredue to only God, hated the rule
of Romans practice, and it saysthey practiced terrorism against the Romans, refused
to pay taxes, adhere carefully toTorra interpretation. So this, this word
(25:34):
terrorism against the Romans is something thatI'm going to reflect on because we see
it being used a lot loosely withthis harmas aka the Palestinians Israel conflict,
where all of the Palestinians are beingreferred to as basically terrorists and really they're
(25:56):
the ones being terrorized, But theMoss and the Palestinians get referred to as
terrorists more than anything else, despitethe fact that over thirty thousand of their
people have been killed, and whathappened on October seventh, of course,
is something that you wouldn't want tosee happen to any group of people.
(26:18):
But now they've killed over thirty timesmore Palestinians than what was killed on October
seventh, and it's still not enough, and the thirst for blood is still
whatever, but they will label themas terrorists. And this is interesting because
he says they practiced terrorism against theRomans, when really it was the Romans
that were terrorizing them and crucifying tonsand tons of cees, and so when
(26:45):
you talk about something that's like acrucifixion, you can't get any more terroristic
than that. So there's an oldsaying one man's terrorist is another man's freedom
fighter. So I'm going to concludetoday's podcast with a clip from a former
(27:06):
CIA spy who spoke on the IsraelHamas conflict, and he unpacked it in
a very useful way. Now,he said that he's pro Israel, and
his reasons for being pro Israel wasfor basically the security of America and for
America to maintain as dominance as aworld power, that Israel must be a
(27:27):
world power in that region. However, he doesn't. He's not pro Israel
to the point where he's anti Palestinian, and he believes in a two state
solution, which I think I thinkwe're actually going there's been more people saying
that a two state solution that Americais going to be the one that is
going to force that to be thecase. But he refers to Malcolm X
(27:51):
and a smart a small segment here, and he actually uses the word terrorism
in Malcolm X in this small segment, and so so I think that that's
why it's really good to listen tothis, because he's he unpacks it very
well. And he even though hehe said that he had never revealed in
his position was pro Israel, andactually the person that was interviewing him said
(28:17):
that actually accused him of being proPalestinian, but he said, no,
I just don't reveal what my outlookis. And he was basically saying that
the Palestinians are suffering from an injusticeand so in order to achieve any goals
here, what we must first dois in that injustice. So I think
(28:38):
it was very interesting, it wasvery nuanced. I'll let him play the
clip. I mean, I'll lethim talk through it, and then we'll
go ahead and wrap up ideology aside. If we want to protect American lives,
we have to ensure the long termlongevity support and close relationships with the
Israeli people and with the country ofIsrael. That that is my official position.
(29:00):
What I find is so sad isthat there are so few pro Israel
voices that are giving any kind ofvalidation to the Palestinian plight. So I
want to be one of those voicesthat can say we must partner and support
Israel. And the way that wepartner and support them is by finding a
way for them to protect and defendthemselves without turning to this kind of destruction.
(29:30):
Because as long as they turn downthis path of destruction, they're isolating
themselves from everyone else in the world, and that makes it so that we
have a very hard time standing nextto them as the beacon of freedom in
the world. We have a hardtime supporting Israel in the face of everybody
else, including all the countries ofthe United Nation and NATO who look at
us and say, how can youstand by and let this happen? How
(29:52):
can you support this? How canyou fund this? How can you encourage
this? Not to mention the corruptionchallenge is that Israel has that's so closely
align with the corruption challenges of ourown past presidential hopefuls and presidents that we're
trying to work through ourselves between Netanyahu'scorruption and Trump's corruption. Right, It's
(30:14):
a mess, and it's it's asad mess. But the bottom line practical
element here is that Israel encourages andexpands national security objectives for the United States.
That doesn't mean we should call Hamasterrorists just because we don't want to
call them revolutionary terrorists, which isreally more akin to what Malcolm X was
(30:36):
revolutionary terrorism. Right. We don'twant to go down that road because it's
too nuanced for the American people.Instead, we're going to put big billboards
up in major cities that say Hamasis not just Israel's problem, right,
Hamas is your problem too. SoI say all that because my conclusion is
the same as your conclusion. Theworld, the globe needs to broker a
(30:59):
two states solution, and in inorder to incentivize that two state solution,
we need to rally and give thePalestinians that economic boost that the Israelis got
post World War two. Let's finda way to massively expedite their infrastructure,
their their technology, their their abilityto self govern and let's give them everything
(31:22):
they need. If that means thatthey want to paying your bills on okay,
So that pretty much, uh,you know, that pretty much summarizes
that. I thought that was avery interesting I found it very interesting that
he bought Malcolm up Malcolm X upthere as well, and seeing him as
a strong voice for a people thatwe're facing injustice. And he mentioned he
(31:49):
kind of compared what's happening in Palestinenow sort of to what was happening with
black people doing the civil rights moveAnd of course it didn't quite go as
far as this, but there havebeen times where I wanted to do a
special on the move movement. Therehave been times where there were bombs and
(32:10):
things like that used nothing to thiscapacity that we're seeing right now in Palestine.
But I think it's very interesting ifsomeone of that caliber is bringing up
Malcolm Mex's name as a revolutionary force. And I always say that Malcolm Mex
is cut from a different cloth.This is the difference between somebody like a
(32:35):
Malcolm X and somebody like say likean Elijah Muhammad, who was out for
dolo. He was basically a onthe Luciferian side. This is why he
was sending those Masonic hints. You'llnotice that a lot of times go back
and watch Eliza Muhammad and the hatsthat he wore back in the fifties and
(32:59):
stu. You would see that hehad the pentagram on his hats. It
was an upright pentagram right around thetime he started having these conflicts with Malcolm
and speaking out against Malcolm and thatwhole nine. You'll notice that the pentagram
was an inverted pentagram, which is, of course, as we know,
a Satanic symbol. And basically,the upright pentagram represents God with the singular
(33:22):
point being upright like a man,like a human being, with the foul
points two arms, a leg,and the head. The inverted pentagram is
the exact opposite, with the headthe profane the spirit. The head represents
the spirit. So basically, whenyou have an inverted pentagram, that puts
(33:43):
the spirit down at the bottom andputs the material world up at the top.
And we see what people like,yes, sure who like I said
he had to ask for a coin. He wasn't overly concerned with material possessions.
He wasn't carrying around tons of Romancoins. We know that leaders like
Malcolm X and a lot of theBlack Panthers, these weren't people that were
overly materially rich their wealth. Orin the way that Yeshua said that kingdom,
(34:09):
that kingdom was not of this world. And so I don't have the
scripture in front of me, Ishould read it. I want to read
this scripture in the in the forthe sake of for the sake of accuracy.
Here when the when the devil triedto tempt Jesus in the wilderness,
(34:37):
all right, so it says Matthewfour and one. Then Jesus was led
by the spirit into the wilderness tobe tempted by the devil. After fasting
forty days and forty nights, hewas hungry. The tempter came to him
and said, if you are theson of God, tell these stones to
become bred. Jesus answered, itis written man shall not live on bread
(34:59):
alone, but on every word thatcomes from the mouth of God. Then
the devil took him to the HolyCity and had him stand on the highest
point of the temple. If youare the son of God, he said,
throw yourself down, for it iswritten he will command his angels concerning
you, and they will lift youup in their hands, so that you
(35:21):
will not strike your foot against astone. Jesus answered, for it is
also written, do not put theLord your God to the test. Again,
the devil took him to a veryhigh mountain and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world with their splendor, and he says, all this I
will give you, So that tellsyou right now who owns all of the
(35:42):
kingdoms of the world. Says thedevil took him to the very high mountain
and showed them all the kingdoms ofthe world. And the devil said,
all of this I will give you, so if it's the devil that will
give it to him, that tellsyou right there who owns the kingdoms of
the world. This is Matthew withfour and eight. Again, the devil
took him to a very high mountainand showed them all the kingdoms of the
world and their splendor, and thisI will give you, he said,
(36:04):
if you bow down and worship me. And Jesus said to him, away
from me, Satan, for itis written, worship the Lord your God
and serve him. Only then thedevil left him and the angels came and
attended him. Now there, KatWilliams has been on. He's been trending
all week for what he's been talkingabout with celebrities. There's Illuminati parties,
the p Diddies and the Tdjakes ofthe world, etc. There are celebrities
(36:30):
that get this offer right here fromthe devil and they bow down and worship
him when he offers them all ofthe kingdoms of the world. And so
I think that this is a verysignificant point where you're seeing that somebody like
yes Sure rejected it, somebody likeMalcolm rejected it. Malcolm also was known
to fast and live in the spiritof discipline. And so that's why I
(36:53):
give Malcolm the respect I do,not just for his political acumen, but
for his spiritual acumen and his Isee him as a messionic figure of biblical
proportions. Was I feel like thathim in the sixties was somebody of biblical
proportions, and that's why even inthe FBI documents he was referred to as
(37:15):
a black Messiah. Elijah Muhammad wasalso seen as someone with that potential,
but they said because of his ageand then also by nineteen sixty eight he
had they didn't see him as athreat completely at all anymore. But they
really knew before then that he washe was corrupted. They really knew before
(37:36):
then. But Elijah Muhammad is ais a very interesting guy to follow around,
so they kept a surveillance on him. But they knew before then.
But Malcolm X was seen as ablack messionic figure. And I think they
named two other people as well,but this was the This was the chief
name. Malcolm X was the chiefname, and this was said that this
(37:59):
was said about him even after hehad already left and buy the FBI themselves,
and he wasn't even alive at thetime. So I think that that
is very significant. The other thingI want to mention and then i'll close
out, is that the significance ofthe baptism of yes sure right before this
story, because basically what happens iswhen he gets he gets baptized and then
(38:24):
goes on, he goes out tothe to the mountains. As a matter
of fact, i'll read this.This caption of it says the baptism of
Jesus. Jesus came from Galilee,took Jordan to be baptized by John.
But John tried to deter him,saying, I need to baptize you,
and you and do you come tome. Jesus replied, let it be
(38:45):
so. Now it is proper forus to do this and to fulfill all
righteousness, then John can send it. As soon as Jesus was baptized,
he went up out the water.At that moment heaven was opened, and
he he saw the spirit of Goddescending like a dove and alighting on him.
So this is people always say thatyou know you're sure was born as
(39:08):
God. Something happened at this baptismbecause he he went through this ritual,
this cleansing ritual was John baptized him. And it says as soon as Jesus
was baptized and he went up fromthe water, at that moment heaven was
open and he and he saw thespirit of God descending like a dove and
alighting on him. And a voicefrom heaven said this is my son whom
(39:31):
I love and with who I'm wellpleased. So that baptism was a significant
point. And then he faced thetemptation and the challenges that he went on
with his fasting, you know,so there was there was an initiation process
into his becoming the great person whowho he became. And so you know,
(39:59):
that is all I have for today. I thank you so much for
listening, brothers and sisters. Ihope that you guys take the time to
study more about the Essenes and theDizzy scrolls and a lot of their works
and their community. Learn about followand pythagorists and all of those connections with
the Essene community, because it's somethingthat we are not taught about in church.
(40:20):
And a lot of the material orin the mosque or whatever your religious
belief is, a lot of materialand a lot of things were removed from
the Bible for y'all purposes. Ijust read from the traditional book, so
this is in your Bible if youwant to go and read what I was
reading today. I even called thescriptures. This one right here was from
(40:44):
Matthew three. This was the baptism, and the other one was from Matthew
four. So yes, thank youso much for listening, brothers and sisters.
