A Message From The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan Delivered by his Student National Assistant Minister Ishmael Muhammad
[Editor’s note: The following is the fifth and final installment from the Saviours’ Day 2025 keynote message delivered at Mosque Maryam in Chicago on Sunday, February 23. To order this message in its entirety, visit store.finalcall.com.]
Now, if you think, as you look at history: “Oh, this has been going on for a long time.
They’ve been getting away with it for a long time.” No, they only got away with it because God allowed it. But you’re out of the season now. … You’re in the season of God’s justice, now. And it’s going to get so terrible.
And that, that we witness over there (Israel, Palestine), that has happened, it’s not without great significance and serious ramifications. The Bible talks about two Jerusalems. Two. Two. That part over there, on the earth, and another one above our heads that’s called “New Jerusalem,” that John saw as “a city in the sky.”
“New Jerusalem” is over our heads! I’m going to close with New Jerusalem—but we’ll stay on earth before we go up. “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived.”
Then the Book of Daniel tells us that “desolations are determined,” “the end will come with a flood and war and its miseries are decreed from the time to the very end.”
“Desolations” is extreme sadness caused by loss and loneliness. It means “to destroy, lay waste, devastate, to be astonished.” Something so horrible, that it can leave a person speechless.
The prophecy of Daniel and the meaning of “desolations are determined” is debated by biblical scholars, and some interpret it as referring to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD while others see it as a broader prophecy about the ongoing struggles and wars that Israel will face.
And look at this scripture; we said it earlier: “God is not mocked. Do not be deceived, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please the flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction. And whoever sows to please the spirit, from the spirit will reap eternal life.”
They have sowed from the greed of the flesh. So, you now are in jeopardy of reaping the total destruction of you and your people. “The day of the Lord is near”—Obadiah 1:15—“for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.”
This is what America is facing. This is what Israel is facing. This is what the leaders are facing. That’s what makes this subject so critically important: “Repent.” Repent. It’s the only thing that’s going to save America.
Mark these words from the Bible—but mark them now, in this time, because those words were said for now! And it takes The Messiah of God to make that appeal; and that’s why Trump is the last president to receive the offer of God, the plea of God to repent, because it’s going to get terrible.
And guess what? Guess what? We, too, are in that. Because if we keep running, and if we keep on in the foolishness that we are engaged in, we are going to suffer, brothers and sisters.
When that Qur’an tells us the chastisement of Allah is something to fear—whew! Because God knows how to turn you against yourself. He can whip you from the outside and whip you from the inside. There is no escape from Him.
The president (Donald Trump) … Mr. President: You’re a rich man, and you’ve gathered around you billionaires; rich men like yourself. Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Apple’s Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Bernard Arnold of LVMH, a France-based conglomerate of luxury brands that includes Moet, Hennessy, Louis Vuitton. Look at all of these rich people. TikTok’s CEO, and Sergey Brin of Alphabet.
Did you know that all these billionaires, that’s just a little less than 10, right? Guess what their net worth is? Four hundred billion dollars. Guess what? More than the GNP, the gross national product, of 172 countries.
According to the United Nations, there’s only about 195 sovereign nations! So, 172 countries! Oh, but there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and he fared sumptuously every day.
But there was a beggar by the name of Lazarus, and he was full of sores, and he was laid at the gate, desiring to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table.
And the dogs came and licked Lazarus’ sores. So it was that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died; and he was buried, too! But he went to hell, to be tormented. Look at this:
He lifts up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and he saw Lazarus in his bosom …Now, look at this, and look at the thinking: And he cried out, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me”—look at this—“and send Lazarus.” See? Still think[ing] he’s still a slave! Still a slave!
“Send me that boy, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame.” But Abraham said, “Remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus’ evil things.
But now he is comforted, and you are tormented. And besides all of this, between us and you, there is a great gulf. And the gulf is fixed; so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.”
And the rich man said, “I beg you … I beg you that you will send him,” look at this, “to my father’s house, for I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.” Abraham said, “They got Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.” And the rich man said:
“No, Abraham. But if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.” Did you all catch that? They already have had Moses and the prophets, but one that has been risen from the dead—one that you mistreated, one that you put your foot on his neck, one that you deny is in the bosom of God Himself…
In the bosom, … And God wants to show us as it is written, “I have loved thee,” … with all of the evil that we have taken! Because “Lazarus” is a sign of a people, but it’s a sign, also, of a man … This conversation between the rich man and Abraham is deep.
“Maybe if you send one from the dead, they will repent.” But Abraham said, “If they did not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded through one risen from the dead.”
Elijah Muhammad has been risen from a people who are considered dead, but you, world, have rejected him! Then God gives you an extension of time, and gives you grace personified in the man the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan—but did you listen to Minister Farrakhan?
No! You called him an anti-Semite! You called him a hater! You called him every evil thing. You falsely charged him, lied on him! None of those things is he! …
This makes 48 years of Minister Farrakhan’s work. See, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be”: It represents a servant of God preaching for a long time. But the people of Noah, the imagination of their thoughts were continually on what? Evil. And the scripture says,
“And when man became numerous,” meaning a lot of people, now, are on the planet, but there was a servant that was warning them about the chastisement of God; and he started building an ark on dry land, and everybody mocked him and ridiculed. … But he was faithful to his God.
And whether you see it or not, the Nation of Islam is the ark of salvation for our people.
I know it’s not as fancy; it’s not the Titanic. But the Titanic sunk. And the Qur’an says, “And we made the ark to stay buoyant afloat before our eyes.” This is an ark of refuge. It’s the ark of salvation. You can take it or leave it. But if you take us to task, we could defend it from Genesis to Revelation, from Al-Fatihah to Al-Nas. This is a miracle in and of itself.
So, you have not been persuaded by one raised from the dead. And so, let us close. “New Jerusalem”…
You have heard us say from Minister Farrakhan, that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told him last year, “Shh.” He saw the Honorable Elijah Muhammad beckon him; and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told him, “Be quiet.” That’s so big. You all know Brother Farrakhan loves us.
He enjoys preaching the word of God; but it also pains him that in his labor of love, we haven’t responded. And it’s like a loving mother telling her children, “Look, look, look, look! When daddy gets home… When daddy got home, he’s not going to ask questions.”
It’s true. And some of us have a very personal relationship with Minister Farrakhan; so you know that even in your personal and private conversations, one thing about Minister Farrakhan: He is transparent.
He is not one man in the public and another man in private. That man is as transparent as the image of Jesus on the cross! He has nothing to hide! The man is genuine …
But when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told him … “Be quiet. Come, sit at my side, and watch the words I gave you to say at Saviours’ Day … .” You’ve got to let that marinate! Did not the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan come before the world and his subject was:
“What does Allah The Great Mahdi and The Great Messiah Have To Say About The War in The Middle East?” … And did not Minister Farrakhan in that message tell us what he was told to say?
How can you read in the scriptures of all of these communications of prophets and messengers with God as though God died after the last prophet to the world? And you and I are in the greatest nation … And that Qur’an says God has sent to every nation a messenger! And He always raises His messenger up from the slaves.
“In God we trust.” “One nation under God.” Sometimes we talk as though God lost some juice or something. The Book of Malachi says, “I, The Lord God, do not change. My pattern is the same.” He raised the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan; and you may want to deny it, but you can’t deny it.
So, he was told, “Come sit at my side.” That’s the “quieting” of The Mouthpiece of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad—and The Voice of God. Not that God will not continue to give us guidance, but it will only be guidance from the word He already spoke.
Won’t be no new word—no new teaching. There’s no “new guidance,” every one of us knows what’s right! Nobody has to tell you right from wrong, it’s in our very nature!
So, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told Minister Farrakhan, when he was still among us, there … If there was any symbol that he could choose to represent his work, it would be a trumpet. That trumpet has blown …
Trust me when I tell you: This is not easy; because I am in it with you. We all stand in need of God’s mercy. And that man has been a hedge for us! And the Qur’an says that Allah would not chastise the people as long as the messenger was among them.
I mean, I said it earlier: God doesn’t want to kill us. But after we get a good whooping, we’ll be all right. “Yes Sir! Yes, my Lord, at whatever you say, Lord!”
“Cry aloud! Spare not! Lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show My people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins.” The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has lifted his voice, and his voice is like a trumpet. He said in “The Time and What Must Be Done”:
“A trumpet has a sound that is difficult for you to ignore. Whenever you go to a nightclub and the trumpeter picks up that trumpet and delivers his solo, if his trumpet is not muted it can be heard above all the members of the band. That’s the sound of the trumpet.
And when one anointed with the spirit of God is being used by God as His ‘trumpet’ above all the din, a mass discordant, inharmonious sounds of all those who preach:
Above all the confusion of those who preach, a clear sound resonates from that anointed one calling the people to God, calling the people to repent.” The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said when the first trumpet stops the second trumpet will begin. And the second trumpet is death.
I’ve got to close with this: Master Fard Muhammad pointed out to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad a dreadful-looking plane in the sky, a half-mile by a half-mile. It was made after the universe, of spheres (wheels within wheels).
It’s no secret anymore. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said it was a masterpiece of mechanics and engineering, and that nothing like this has ever been seen before. And he said it’s the greatest military weapon developed in the annals of history.
Never, never before has something like this been built. And he told us that the vision of this Wheel that’s in the sky was seen thousands of years before it came into being, or became a reality.
And, he said that this weapon was made for the purpose of destroying the present world in the final battle with the forces of evil that have ruled our present world.
It’s not an accident that last year, after decades of denial, that the United States government finally admitted the existence, the reality of these Wheels. The Pentagon said it’s a Mothership with smaller probes going in and out of it. But Elijah Muhammad taught us about this Wheel from the 1930s …
You don’t think Minister Farrakhan can talk the way he talks, walk the way he walks, and those who follow him, except that we know we’ve got some serious backing!
I say that with humility, because The God that we serve: He is Possessor of Power over all things, but He also came introducing Himself, and He gave us His “card.” Y
ou know, when you meet somebody, you give them a card, and on that card is a name, it’s their title, his function. Well, Master Fard Muhammad gave us His card—that Wheel. His calling card…
Pull up that map! This is a map of all the UFO activity …. Now that map wasn’t done by any member of the Nation of Islam! This is from them. The military sees it all the time. Look at America:
It’s just lit up! I wonder why! They had their hearings, you remember? And the former Defense Department researcher, Luis Elizondo, he said: “Let me be clear …”
“UAPs”: See, now they’re no more “unidentified”; remember when there used to be “UFOs”? Now they say “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon” are “real advanced technologies not made by our government or any other government are monitoring sensitive military installations around the world.”
They said Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are “a potential national threat and they need to be treated that way.” Minister Farrakhan said, “Whenever a nation is faced with a superior power that possesses a superior weapon that the present power and its warmongers cannot master.
Then that nation is unable to do the first thing that a sovereign nation must do, and that is to protect and secure her citizens.” No! They don’t pose a threat to you. You pose a threat to life. You pose the threat to the inhabitants of our planet, to all the creatures, to the atmosphere, the air, the water, the food—No! You pose a serious threat.
So, you remember the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still? Remember the character— “Klaatu.” Look at, look at these words: “We are only here because you threaten the existence of life not only on your planet, but the whole galaxy. And if you don’t stop what you are doing, we will have to destroy you.” …
You can Google it for yourself (the Wheel). This is real! We didn’t believe the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, so the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said: “Well, OK. When the White man tells you, then you will say, ‘Oh, Elijah Muhammad sure told me the truth, because master, now, has said it!’”
Now, those Wheels have not even dropped a bomb … See, they don’t pose a threat. They are keeping this enemy in check from going to the extreme because they are about to do this. They’re talking “peace.” What does the bible tell us? “And they seek peace, and they will not find it.”
War is on the horizon, and those Wheels are monitoring the nuclear military installations for a reason! They’ve got enough power; they can shut them down—and they have already reported power outages. Man, it’s easy for them! It’s keeping them in check.
So beloved, you’ve been outdone. “Russia, China, everything on earth,” The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said, “what you think has power, it has nothing. It’s like nothing to that Wheel. So, when the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in his subject ‘O Wheel’?”
Minister Farrakhan said, “That’s like saying “O God…” No! This is tremendous! It has two sides of it. See, it’s called “New Jerusalem” because there is new technology. That is a human-built planet. All of the cures are already there. …
So beloved, as we close. Allah, with these Two Anointed Witnesses, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, have held out in one hand an olive branch, and on the other hand, death and destruction. And He wants us to make the right decision.
When we add up the numbers 2025, it equals “9”: We’ve come to the completion of something. We’ve come to the end of a term; something else is about to come in.
You feel it! But now, we’ve got to put ourselves in the right position; now we’ve got to do the right thing, because “Repent, for The Kingdom of God is” what? [Audience responds:] “At Hand!”
Do you want a place in the new that God is bringing in? I know I do! I want to be in the new! That means I’ve got to do something now; I’ve got to humble myself, and surrender. But “2025” is the 25th Chapter of The Qur’an: “Blessed is He Who sent down The Discrimination upon His servant, that he might be a warner to the nation.”
Blessed is The Life of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. That man has kept the faith! That man has fought the good fight! That man has completed what God would have him to do! And there is a crown laid up for him! We do not see death for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, we see ascension. We see ascension to that Wheel.
One more thing… “I know the plans I have for you, declares The Lord. Plans to prosper you”—I like that! … “And not to harm you”—“and plans to give you hope and a future.” Don’t you want to be with The Lord? Don’t we want to be with The Lord?
Aren’t we tired of walking with Satan? Aren’t we tired of living with Satan? Come on, and let’s accept God, and let’s do the right thing! And since we love to be on social media: Take pieces of this message, make it viral.
Call the president and the nation to repentance! … Let’s create an energy! Because money isn’t going to get us out of this; so stop talking about economics, stop talking about money! Stop talking politics! Stop talking about votes! Talk, and bring up God in your conversations, and put Satan to rest!
So, I close with this prayer, before our ending prayer. And I want everyone, wherever you are in the world watching and listening to this message, I just want all of us to bow our heads where you are, sitting or reclining, if you’re driving in your vehicle, if you’re standing. This prayer that I’m going say is preceded by these words from the Qur’an that close out the second chapter.
It says: “Allah imposes not on any soul a duty beyond its scope, for it is that which it earns of good and against it that which it works of evil.”
Here is the prayer:
“Our Lord, punish us not if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not lay on us a burden which Thou didst lay on those before us. Our Lord, impose not on us afflictions that we do not have the strength to bear; and pardon us, and grant us protection, and have mercy on us. Thou art our Patron, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.
Ameen.”
We thank the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for this profound and timely message, “Repent for The Kingdom of God is At Hand.”
