Have you EVER seen such an infectious smile? For me, smiles as soul-brightening as that one exist few and far between. And i've said it before, nothing cracks me up quite like when The Minister cracks HIMSELF up. Tell me you don't want to laugh along with him, I don't believe it.....
But that is not what I am wanting to write about today.
Over the years, I have watched The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's lectures, been to see and hear him speak in person more than once, and I have never heard a hateful word. Not one...and I'm Jewish. I've heard him call out hypocrisy, ineptness, wishy-washiness, cowardice, liars, racists, schemers, plotters, would-be assassins...but never a hateful word. Truth isn't hateful, it's simply True. Even when those truths have stung ME, i've sat back and examined myself to figure out WHY it hurt, rather than get offended.
Psalm 105:15 says "Touch NOT my anointed ones! Do my prophets NO HARM!". Those seem like pretty explicit instructions. So how in the world does anyone think they are going to attack HMLF, and there will be no retribution? Mark Zuckerberg is playing with fire, we can all see. He will get his when the time is right, because God's holiness demands justice.
But I really want to take this conversation a little further...fuck it, I will take it a LOT further. Ready? As I stated in my video contribution to the hashtag "HandsOffOfFarrakhan" and "DefendingFarrakhan" movements, It's not bad enough that fair-weather friends and politicians dip out when the kitchen gets hot. We expect that of them. Snakes, after all, will ALWAYS be snakes. But, I want to share a bit about those who are failing to PROTECT this Man called to position and anointed to do the will of Allah (God).
Twice in the saga between David and King Saul, David had opportunity to kill Saul. First time was in 1Samuel 24. He cuts a piece of the robe from a sleeping Saul, and his heart and conscience beat him up for even doing THAT much, because God said "Touch not my Anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm". But then he finds Saul yet again in 1Samuel 26, in a cave, not only sleeping, but with his chief bodyguard sleeping next to him, and his army all asleep around the king. David takes Saul's spear and water, and goes down to the base of the mountain in which Saul sleeps and he yells up the mountain.....
To Abner, who is Saul's bodyguard.
Now, I'm going to tell you what David said to Abner, and I want you to pay close attention here....
"Abner, son of Ner! Are you not a man? Who is like you in all of Israel? But, as the lord lives you and all of your men deserve to die, because you DIDN'T PROTECT GOD'S ANOINTED ONE!"
THAT is the message that needs to be understood. Because using the Bible we find that it is said that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. David said that from his heart...
It's a bit deeper than you thought!
Because we are taught that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, this means that even today, God is saying "Hands Off of Farrakhan", as well as saying that if you fail to protect The Minister, you deserve to die!
