THE LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS ABRAHAM ISAAC JACOB JUDAH K I N G D A V I D THE NATION OF FROM GOD TO YOU WHO IS THE NATION OF ? STATEMENT OF FACT All beliefs and tenets that make up The Nation of are founded and based upon the King James Version of the Bible, Old and New Testaments: Genesis through Malachi of the Old Testament and Matthew through Revela- tion of the New Testament. The Nation of is the family of made up of a group of persons connected by their relationship arising from a com- mon ancestor, a common lineage, or a common ancestral stock. STATEMENTS OF PARTICULARS We shall now begin to identify as well as trace the lineage that flows from our common ancestor as written in the King James Version of the Bible. According to The Synonym Finder, by J. I. Rodale, copyright 1978, on page 767, nation is synonymous to family. Referenced in Black’s Law Dictionary, Seventh Edition, copyright 1999, on page 620, a family is “a group of per- sons connected by blood.” On page 164, in the same source, blood means “the relationship arising by descent from a common ancestor.” In Merriam- Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, copyright 2003, on page 337, descent means, “the fact of originating from an ancestral stock; lin- eage.” Our common ancestor is Yahweh. Who is Yahweh? According to The New Bible Dictionary, by J. D. Douglas, page 478, “Strictly speaking, Yahweh is the only name of God. In Genesis, whenever the word name is associated with the Divine Being that name is Yahweh” (Genesis 12:8; 13:4; 26:5). As referenced in the King James Version of the Bible, by Thomas Nelson, Inc. (Bible Dictionary definition found in back of this edition), “The Covenant God of Israel, YHWH, in the Original Hebrew. According to Jewish custom, because of reverence, the divine name was not to be spoken, so the words LORD and GOD were SUBSTITUTED. Whenever the words LORD and GOD ap- pear in LARGE and small CAPITAL letters, the ORIGINAL Hebrew reads YHWH - 1 - (Yahweh).” Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1989, on page 1365, states: “Yahweh: the God of the Hebrews – compare TETRAGRAMMATON.” In accordance with The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Lan- guage (High-School Edition), copyright 1979, on page 1331, TETRAGRAM- MATON is described as, “the four Hebrew letters [] usually translit- erated YHWH (Yahweh) and used as a ‘symbol’ or ‘substitute’ for the ineffable name of God.” The tetragrammaton, , is the ineffable name of Yahweh, and Yahweh is the God of the Hebrews, as referenced in Exodus 3:18: And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD [] God of the Hebrews hath met with us: . Our common ancestor is , the God of the Hebrews. The family of can be best traced from our patriarchal father Abraham. According to Gen- esis 14:13, Abraham was an Hebrew: And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew. was the God of Abraham, according to Genesis 17:1, which reads: And . the Lord, , appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God, ; walk before Me, and be thou perfect. Yahweh, as the God of Abraham, established His covenant with Abraham’s seed, Isaac, and his seed after him, according to Genesis 17:19: And said, . and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting cov- - 2 - enant, and with his seed after him. Isaac then passed his blessing on to Jacob, which is in agreement with Gen- esis 28:1, 4: And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, . And give thee [Jacob] the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which gave unto Abraham. The Nation of traces its common lineage and its common ancestral stock through the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who includes King David, according to Matthew 1:2-6, 17: Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Juda[h]s and his brethren; . And Jesse begat David the king; So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; . This common lineage continues to flow through David to who is the root and offspring of David, which is established in Revelation 22:16: . I [Jesus - a euphemism for ] am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Therefore, The Nation of traces its common lineage and its common ancestral stock through scriptural references that prove that is not only the common ancestor of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but also of David and of . To prove further that there is a direct, actual blood lineage between and His Son, , let us read Luke 3:23-38: 23 And Jesus [ ] Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Jo- seph, which was the son of Heli, 24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, - 3 - which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mat- tathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmo- dam, which was the son of Er, 29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda[h], which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, 31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Na- than, which was the son of David, 32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, 33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda[h], 34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, 36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Ar- phaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of - 4 - Noe, which was the son of Lamech, 37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God []. These Scriptures show that is a direct blood descendant of God, , Himself. Although the name Jesus appears in these New Testa- ment Scriptures, John 5:43 lets us know that the Son would come in the same name as His Father, and it reads in part: I am come in My Father’s name . According to Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, Computer Software, copyright 1999, father is defined as “the Supreme Being and Cre- ator; God.” As we have already documented, the only name of God is . Therefore, the Father’s name is ; subsequently, the Son’s name is , which means Yahweh the Son of Yahweh. So the name Jesus is a euphemism or substitute name in the New Testament for . In accordance with Webster’s New World College Dic- tionary, copyright 2001, on page 970, new means “never existing before.” From this definition, the events of the New Testament never existed before, and they are prophecies that are being fulfilled today. So no one by the name of Jesus ever walked the earth two thousand years ago. is the Son of , and His name is NOT Jesus! This is a very bold statement, but it is supported by facts. One such fact is found in The Guinness Book of Records, 1993 Edition, on page 387, which states: The newest letters added to the English alphabet are “j” and “v,” which are of the post-Shakespearean use (about 1630). Therefore, when you subtract 1630 from 2003, you get 373 years. Consider- ing the fact that the letter “j” is only 373 years old, Satan has deceived the whole world (Revelation 12:9) through the Christian religion to believe that - 5 - the man called Jesus was the true Christ.
