Other parts will be doneindependently (by yourself). When its time to partner, you and your partner (twin) are to follow the stepsprovided in this guide. The study course is laid out in the order you do them. It is important not to skip any

    steps of the guide . THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE FOLLOWED IN OUR CLASSES.Purpose of this Study Course Guide:

    The purpose of this study course guide is to guide you through this course of study.

    Time to Complete:

    Although the hour and a half that we have for study this evening will hopefully allow you to progress throughmost of this study, however it is strongly recommend that you continue to work on this study course at home at

    your own pace.

    Important Note: During the study course session, if you have any questions raise your hand for assistance. Each believer (student) should have a copy of this handout and its instructions to take home

    and continue studying on their own. All steps may not be completed in the class sessions in its entirety. Study Course Steps Step 1: Key Word Clearing Time Frame: 30 min Key words are important words related to key concepts found in the reading.

    ! e Time and What Must Be DoneBy The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

    I n The Name of All ah, The Benefi cent, The M ercifu l.

    Greetings to you , I am Louis Farrakhan, the National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, TheEternal Leader of The Nation of Islam and the Great Preacher of Freedom, Justice and Equality to Black peoplein America and oppressed people throughout the Earth, and a Great Warner to America and the nations of theEarth.

    It is a great honor, a great privilege and great pleasure for us to come to you via radio, or television or socialmedia, to bring to you a very, very timely message. The title of this message, starting in January 2013, will carrythrough for the whole year; and that title was given to us by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad:

    The Time And What Must Be Done.

    This is a great subject, and each of us who are viewing these telecasts has something that you and I must do inorder to escape the consequences of The Time.

    There is a Surah (Chapter) in The Holy Qur an that I shall quote as the basis for this yearlong subject, which isSurah 103 Al-Asr (The T ime) . It reads:

    Bismillah i r-Rahman ir-Rahim (In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Mer ciful.)

    By the time! Surely man is in loss,

    Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin one another to T ruth, and enjoin one another to patience.

    In this Qur anic chapte r , Time is a Yardstick of Measurement of Consequence: ( By the time! Surely man is inloss ). So, The Time will determine: 1) Whether we lose, whether we win; 2) Whether we live, or whetherwe die; and 3) Whether we suffer privation, or whether we grow in prosperity.

    It all depends on what we do with The Knowledge of The Time.

    How we measur e Time fr om the arrival of Adam

    The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said we are not dealing with time as with the solar system and its time oforigin, we are dealing with The Time of a People and a Civilization whose time has come to an end.

    This civilization started 4,000 B.C., 6,000 years ago , as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, and as itis written in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. This is not the origin of our solar system or the origin of ourworld, this is the origin of a people who would bring to the Earth a new civilization but a civilization contraryto The Nature of God and The Nature in which The Universe and The Original People of the Earth are created.

    This civilization started with a man named Adam.

    Many scholars say there are many, many , many Adams; some scholars of Islam say there are 50,000 Adams, but were dealing with the Adam that brought in this new world: He s not an original man, he s a made manfrom The Original. And that is why the Bible teaches in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 1, verse 26 :

    Let Us make man in our image and after our likeness: and give them power and dominion over the fowl of theair, the fish of the sea and every cr eeping thing that crawls upon the Earth.

    Well, who is the Us from which a new man was made? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, andscientists bear witness, that the Us are the pre -Adamites: The Aboriginal People of the Earth; the DarkPeople of the Earth The Black Man and Woman of the Earth from which every species of human being hascome.

    Let Us make man in our image and after our likeness after this new man was made, he was given powerand dominion to rule over that which he came from. So as it is written in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 3, verse 12 , children are their oppr essors and women rule over them : Children meaning a new people on our

    planet.

    The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us, and the scholars and scientists bear witness, that this new people are the Caucasian people. They are on our planet, and they were given a season to rule and to dominate; but, not to rule with righteousness , to rule with other than righteousness. And that rule was going to last for 6,000years.

    Unfortunately for them, they caused trouble in the Holy Land of Arabia after they were made, and they weredriven out of the Holy Land into the hills and cave sides of Europe where they spent 2,000 years and wentcompletely savage, even losing the knowledge of themselves!

    Well, it meant 2,000 years of lost time But they had 4,000 more years to rule, to live and to d ominateeverything, every people, on our planet. But they could not dominate until God raised a prophet for them, andthat prophet was a man named Musa or Moses.

    Scripture s portrayal of Prophet Musa s hard job of civilizing a savage

    Europe was a place that was wild and uncultivated; savage. So when Musa came to the Caucasian people in thehills and cave sides of Europe, they were found to be in a terrible, horrific condition on their all fours; theydidn t know how to cook their food, and they didn t know how to bury their dead. They were ugly and terrible tolook at! And it is written in the Holy Qur an, Surah 18 Al-Kahf (The Cave), verse 18 that at the mouth ofthe cave there was the dog; and it was the dog that befriended the dwellers in the cave. I would imagine thatthis is why it is said by Caucasians that the dog is mans best friend.

    You have domesticated the dog, and it surely is a great friend of man. But The Greatest Friend, of true man , isGod Himself.

    In the Book of John, Chapter 3 , the scripture teaches, As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness , so shallthe Son of Man be lifted up. Moses had a hard job to civilize the cave dwellers in that: 1) He had to stand themup from a crawling position; 2) He had to put a board in their back so that they would be upright; and 3) He hadto teach them how to cook their food, how to bury their dead.

    And after Moses taught them and civilized them, he gave them two ways, as it teaches in the Book ofDeuteronomy, Chapter 30, verse 19 :I call heaven and Earth to record this day against you, that I have setbefore you life and death , blessing and cursing: therefore choose li fe, that both thou and thy seed may live

    When someone is given two alternatives, then they are in The Valley of Decision .Yakub, his made man and The Satanic Mindset that incited Rebellion to God

    The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that The Father of the White race was a great Black Scientist by thename of Yakub . He was not an evil scientist, but he was a magnificent Scientist who was born 20 miles outsideof the Holy City of Mecca in Arabia.

    Yakub studied The Life Germ of the Black man, and found in it a Brown Germ ; then he learned how to separatethat Brown Germ from the Black Ge rm and drive it into its Last Stage through a System of Birth Control . Itwas out of this System of Birth Control that on The Island of Pelan (called in the Book of Revelation The Islandof Patmos) that a Grafting Process took place in 200 -year stages: It took 200 years to make a BrownCivilization ; another 200 years to make a Yellow Civilization ; and the Last Stage of 200 years was the makingof a White Civilization.

    Well, many are asking: How? Is this a myth? Is this some tale? Why should we belie ve a myth? No. Thereality is Caucasians are present on our planet, but they are not natural or native to any part of our Earth. Butthey had a great work to do

    Believe it or not, even though it was a work in rebellion to The Natural and Divine Laws of God, yet God permitted it! Because without their work , God would not come out of His hiding place at the end of their seasonof rule, choose a people that they had destroyed mentally, spiritually and morally and were in the process ofdestroying physically wherein God would come to intercede in the affairs of that suffering people.

    The scriptures teach us God s Coming is after The W orking of Satan, so this mind that was present fromGenesis to Revelation is a Satanic Mind . What makes it a Satanic Mind? Well, Adam rebelled after gettingdivine instruction directly from The Mouth of God about The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

    In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 2, verses 15-17 , the scripture teaches that Adam was told you may eat ofthe fruit of all of the trees in this Garden of Eden, except this one in the midst of the Garden, The Tree of The

    Knowledge of Good and Evil. So after having direct instructions from God, Adam was deceived by The Satanof himself .

    You know how it is when someone tells you not to do something? Y oure intrigued by that command not todo and then you venture out to do exactly what you were commanded not to do! That s in the human make-up: We are, by nature inquisitive ; and so when our parents instruct us, I dont want you to go here or there. Idont want you to play with this one or that one, usually we end up doing the very thing that we were told not todo. But there are always consequences for rebellion. And the greatest consequences of all are when we are givena direct order from God Himself, and then we choose to disobey.

    Adam chose to disobey. As a result, the scripture teaches in the Book of Romans, Chapter 5, verse 12 : As byone man, sin entered into the world and death came also by sin. All have sinned so death has passed to allmen...

    The Jesus of 2,000 years ago and The One he prophesied to come in his name

    Remember our subject now , The Time And What Must Be Done: Well, out of the 6,000-year period of timethat was given to the White race to rule on our planet, we have already lost 2,000 of those years for the mademan in the hills and cave sides of Europe.

    But when Musa came to them and taught them some of The Forgotten Tricknollegy of their father Yakub, Musaalso taught them the righteousness of the Torah so now , they had to choose: Which one are you going to useas a guide for your life? 1) If you chose the righteousness of the Torah, then you will live! You will escape thatwhich comes at the end of the 6,000 years of your rule; but 2) If you choose to follow the tricks and lies ofYakub, then there will be an end to that world of evil, and there will be an end to that people who are calledSatan who have deceived the entire world.

    So, in calculating Time: From Moses, you had 1,700 years of people trying to live by The Law of Moses. Butafter 1,700 years 300 years before the birth of Jesus (i.e. 2000 B.C.): A man named Nimrod was born who

    broke The Civilization of Moses, and sent the people into the greatest form of rebellion. That means when Jesuscame, he came into a world of total darkness and rebellion to The Word, Will and Way of God.

    However , the Jesus of 2,000 years ago was 2,000 years too soon to bring about an end to The Civilization ofWickedness.

    When Jesus came to the Jews, to guide the Jewish people back to the good path of Moses, unfortunately theyrejected him. It was then he learned that he was 2,000 years too soon to set up The Kingdom of God; so, hedecided to give his life for the truth that he taught. But Jesus talked about one coming after him Jesus said,one would come but would come in his name ; and that One would verify the truth that Jesus taught! And,

    that One Who would come after The Workings of Satan: He would come to end the world of Satan, and end thedominion and power of the rule of those who followed Satan.

    Brothers and sisters, it is very interesting in the church, particularly the Catholic Church, when they talk aboutoriginal sin. Original sin, as the Catholics believe, is sin that is born into the nature of the human being.Youre right; but, youre wrong. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said original sin is born into the nature ofThe Made Man who rebelled against God.

    But the nature of The Origina l Man is obedience to The W ill of God; and this is why the Holy Qu r an teachesus that every human being is by nature a Muslim, born in The Nature of Submission to The Will of God. All,except the rebellious devil.

    The Four Gr eat Beasts let loose all over the Earth to devour people, nations and resources

    By the time! Su r ely man is in loss By our knowing The Time and What Must Be Done , you will have achance, I will have a chance we will have a chance to not be losers in this Time. For after getting the TrueKnowledge of The Time, and what The Time is demanding of us to be done if we don t want to be losers in thisTime, that puts all of us who hear this Knowledge in The Valley of Decision .

    The T ime is now that we must decide, because the man like Moses that was prophesied in both the Bible andthe Holy Qur an is on scene today! He comes out of a savage people That people is styled in the Bible as alost sheep and as The Children of Israel; this people is styled in the Bible as mentally and morally and

    spiritually dead, rejected and despised. So just as the people that went into a cave -like existence until Mosescame to get them up out of that existence, The Son of Man would also be in a condition similar, and God wouldhave to come and do a Great Service: Stand up a human being that was crawling after the similitude of the beastsof the field, a human being that lost The Knowledge of Self and was living the life of a beast!

    The Bible, in the Book of Revelation (Chapter 4 ), as well as in the Book of Daniel (Chapter 7 ), talks aboutfour beasts. Its not really talking about animals, a lion, a leopard, a bear no, no, no. It s talking aboutnations that have become like beasts : As the beast preys upon weak things, and devours the weak to live ithas no moral consciousness, so it is with these four great beasts that have devoured human beings on our

    planet, devoured their nations and devoured their resources; and have preyed upon the weak of the world.

    The Western world has done this to all the darker people of the Earth: After they came out of the hills and cavesides of Europe, they spread across Europe where they went into darkness again. Remember all of the tribesthat were in Europe that were fighting and killing each other in their savagery? Yet, they were one people, butdif ferent ethnicities of that one people; and there in Europe, they came together into tribes that formed

    England , tribes that formed France , tribes that formed Germany , tribes that formed Russia , tribes that formedthe European community. But even then, they needed to be awakened.

    When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born six centuries after Jesus in the year 570 A.D.,

    Muhammad and his followers brought The Light of Islam to Europe. And that Light from Muhammad and hisfollowers caused the Renaissance of Europe; then, the Europeans came out of the confines of Europe as thescripture teaches us in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 20, verses 2-3 that they will be confined there foranother 1,000 years; but after that 1,000 years, they would be let loose on the Earth.

    Again, in calculating Time: After that 1,000 years of being confined in Europe, when the Europeans cameout of Europe after fighting The Hundred Years War a mong themselves, that brings us up to approximately500 years ago when they went into the Western Hemisphere and captured the native people. Then they broughtour fathers out of Africa into the Western Hemisphere not to be citizens, but to be the burden bearers of thecitizens of this brand new Western world. Some of us were brought to The Caribbean, others were brought intoCentral and South America. But the worst treatment was afforded to that Black man and woman that was

    brought to the shores of what i s now called the United States of America.

    ***

    The first Black people to arrive, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, was not in 1619 as thehistorians tell us, but he said and history bears witness that it was in the year 1555 brought over here by anEnglish trader named John Hawkins. That English Trader brought us here, the first slaves, on a ship namedJesus. And when the ship would go back to get more slaves, the slaves would wander down to the shores,looking for that ship; and they wo uld tell them: You can have all this world! Just give me that ship Jesus thatwould take me back to our native land and people.

    But little did those slaves know that it would be four centuries before the real ship Jesus God in Person would come after them to deliver them from the bondage of their oppressors.
