When you see Mardis Gras snowmen in New Orleans and hockey playing in southern streets amid mounds of snow, know that something of major consequence is happening.
God Himself is trying to tell America and Black people something: The United States is in the grips of costly and deadly weather events because she is under divine judgment.
“The four great judgments that Almighty Allah (God) is bringing upon America are rain, hail, snow and earthquakes. We see them now covering all sides of America, as the Holy Qur’an prophesies, curtailing her on all her sides.
And these judgments would push the people into the center of the country, and there they would realize that it is Allah (God) Who is bringing them and their country to a naught,” warned the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in “America Surrounded with The Judgment of Allah,” a chapter in his monumental book, “The Fall of America,” which was published in 1973.
“Job, in the Bible, prophesied that Allah (God) has the snow and ice to use as His weapon in the day of war and battle against the wicked,” he continued. “There are tornadoes and heavy rains and more storms are on the way—one right after another.”
“Once in a lifetime southern snow eclipses records that stood for decades,” declared the Associated Press recently. It listed some of the heaviest January southern snowfall totals: Milton, Fla., was blanketed with nearly 10 inches of snow. If the figures hold up that will be a state record.
Nearby Pensacola was hit with 8.9 inches of snow, breaking “the city’s previous all-time snow record of 3 inches set in 1895.” New Orleans had 10 inches of snow breaking a city record of 2.7 inches. Houston saw some 4 inches of snow and “doesn’t own any snowplows.”
Charleston, S.C., saw more than 4 inches of snow leading to the closure of its airport and a major bridge. “It closed since water freezes on the cables of the bridge, and then large chunks of ice can fall and smash vehicles below the cables, authorities said,” according to the newswire. Mobile, Ala., saw 6.2 inches of snow.
“The storm system that brought so much snow also sank thermometers into record-breaking territory across the Deep South. It was so cold Wednesday morning that it was warmer in Anchorage, Alaska, than it was in Atlanta, New Orleans, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida, the weather service reported,” said the Associated Press Jan. 22.
Along with major snowstorms and frigid weather affecting millions, the country’s attention has been focused on California’s seemingly unquenchable fires.
According to Atlas News, which provides “Insurance news from around the world,” “Initial estimates of the losses caused by the Los Angeles fires vary widely from one source to another.
For instance, analysts at J.P. Morgan believe that the fires that severely affected the Californian city of Los Angeles are likely to generate up to 20 billion in insured losses.
For its part, Wells Fargo estimates that insurers could incur losses as high as 30 billion USD. This would make it the costliest wildfire in California’s history.”
The Harvard Business Review offered its take: “The fires raging in the Los Angeles area could cause as much as $250 billion in economic damage and become one of the worst natural catastrophes the United States has experienced. … According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter, total losses from the fire could approach 4 percent of California’s GDP.
“For the insurance industry, the threat of massive and profoundly destructive wildfires thus poses a significant and immediate problem—one that could reshape the wildfire market and insurance for other major natural perils.
Wildfires, on the other hand, didn’t become big by insurance standards until 2016, which pales in comparison to the centuries of experience we have with hurricanes.
Size isn’t really the problem here—it’s size by surprise. Now, faced with the prospect that this fire alone could cost insurers more than $30 billion, it’s clear that the current system is going to struggle to contend with increasingly destructive events like this,” said the journal.
It looked like fires in Los Angeles County weren’t over as CNN reported Jan. 22 that the “explosive” Hughes Fire had forced authorities to advise thousands to leave the area.
“Within five hours, the fire grew to more than 8,000 acres, according to Cal Fire,” CNN said. “Approximately 19,000 residents are under evacuation orders, while 16,000 are under evacuation warnings.”
Last year, America was struck by super costly weather disasters: Twenty-four weather and climate events had losses exceeding $1 billion each and that was just by November.
“These events included 17 severe storms, including tornadoes, hail and high wind damage, four hurricanes, one wildfire event in New Mexico, and two winter storms,” Sister Charlene Muhammad reported for The Final Call.
Adam Smith, applied climatologist with the Climate Science and Services Division of the National Centers for Environmental Information, said, “The total cost of these 24 events exceeds $61 billion. However, this year-to-date total does not include Hurricanes Helene or Milton, which may add another $100 billion or more to the 2024 costs total.”
“I’ve been telling you, watch the weather. Every day the weather is getting worse and worse. The White meteorologists cannot tell you what the weather’s going to be; but my teacher told me. Who’s your teacher, Farrakhan?
My teacher is the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Without him and the Great Mahdi, I wouldn’t be here, but he told me there are two of us backing you up:Allah and myself.”
Minister Farrakhan continued, “They are worried about the weather. The president knows something. He says he doesn’t believe in climate control (climate change) and that we can do something to stop this,”
Said the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, in a July 2019 message delivered at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, titled, “The Man Jesus and How Not To Fall Into Idolatry.”
“Mr. President, you do have a point. If the scientists could cause this to stop, they would have done it. The scientists have a point, but the scientists don’t create rain hail, snow and earthquakes. Some of these chastisements are being guided.
Did you hear what I said? Who has power to guide a storm and it destroys what the guide says? The Mahdi is not just a guide for human beings. He’s a guide for the forces of nature itself.
“So, America is surrounded with the Judgement of God. Climate control is very important in the context of war but there’s no space on this earth that has received as much calamity from weather as the United States of America,” Minister Farrakhan said.
“So, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the Holy Qur’an bears witness that Allah would curtail this place on both sides. He said he wouldn’t buy anything on either coast, because the coasts are going to be flooded.
You heard it first here. Now watch the news bear witness that a Messenger of God, a man taught by God, is telling you things that are and things to come.”
