Why Must Elijah First Come

By Elijah Muhammad

The "doctors of the law" in the Bible knew that certain events had to take place in order to verify the timing of judgment predicted to come at the end of white rule.

When Jesus of 2,000 years ago made his appearance in an attempt to save them, those who were familiar with scripture and its timing studied the resurrection and judgment teachings of Jesus, but found that the timing was suspect.

Considering that there were a few gaps or events missing from the time, they constantly second guessed him and his disciples. One such incident happened when the disciples were out teaching and were approached by the Jewish Scribes, who rejected their claim, because Elijah was to be raised just before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. When the disciple went back to Jesus to report of their encounter, they asked Jesus, "Why do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?

INTRODUCTION

Many of us have either heard it said or we ourselves have used the statement: it doesn’t add up, or a combination of it. What do we actually mean? In most cases, this statement is a response in reference to the order, disposition, or logic of an occurrence. We generally tend to expect a certain pattern, order or sequence of events to meet an established expectation or norm. When this happens, we would say, that adds up, and when to the contrary, it doesn’t add up.

Going through the process of weighing, measuring, calculating with some standard of reference is thought of as reasoning; yet; such reasoning would be deemed faulty if the standard is faulty. When coming to conclusions based on a faulty standard, up against which our thoughts are substantiated, then the conclusions will be faulty; therefore, it stands to reason that in order to ensure that our thoughts have a chance of arriving at a solid conclusion about anything, the standard with which we base our thoughts must first be iron clad.

Universally, most people of the modern world use common standards of reference; for example, a Bible, Holy Qur’an, Vedas, or perhaps some other writing that’s been passed down from generation to generation. In most cases there are charges leveled by each constituency that theirs is the real or exclusive source of the pure word. Consequently, the authenticity of them all are always suspect; and rightly so.

Once they are translated out of the original tongues or languages in which it was originally introduced, something gets omitted or included that alters the original meaning accordingly. However, if we reserve our judgment about that particular aspect and focus in on the question of how does one determine with accuracy if an event occurred one hundred, a thousand, 30 thousand or 50 million years ago? What instruments are used to determine the timelines? Some use the method of carbon-dating, which is the determination of the age of objects of organic origin by measurement of the radioactivity of their carbon content; also called carbon-14 dating. Although accepted as a standard tool of measurement, the fault generally lies with the person reading and interpreting the findings.

In addition to the three books and secular instrument previously mention is another standard called the natural order or nature. How much of a mother it is will be left for those engaged in folklore.

The creation and the laws which govern it is the greatest system of order in existence. It is the most consistent and eternal system in existence and the common language or means of understanding its order is mathematics.

Mathematics is the language of order, calculation, weighing and processing itself. This language is essential and foundational for human life to exist and evolve; otherwise, we would generally remain on the level of beasts. Although beasts do not use math the way we do, it is still governed, nevertheless. What makes us wiser than they is our ability to process knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

Knowledge, in this case, is something attained after learning or experiencing something with one or more of the senses: (touching, tasting, smelling, hearing or seeing) and an impression is left on the mind, which records all experiences or stimuli.

When we are able to take these experiences and store them, if you will, on a ledge, it is these experiences we re-call and add together to arrive at whatever conduct is necessary for a given circumstance.

If we can re-call or re-member (putting the different members of stimuli together) to reach a routine function, we are simply applying these combinations to function and conduct ourselves. We use this process without notice every time we learn something new. After a few times of subjecting the new information to memory and physical functions, we seem to do it without thinking about it.

When we can do it better and better, while making future experiences more constructive, productive, pleasurable, and profitable, our higher degree of the application of knowledge transitions into what’s known as wisdom. Wisdom is the judicious application of knowledge.

If we can master the application of knowledge, then we can advance. Some civilizations are considered more advanced than others. This is due to their superior way of applying knowledge and wisdom; yet, what would life be like if we could foretell the impact and result of our actions far in the future. If this level of application was mastered by today’s societies, there would be very little need for research and development or the process, trial and error or the concept of hypothesis(s) and theories.

It requires a high degree of Understanding, which is a comprehensive view of how things connect regardless of time or place. If we could see the
