SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: HOLY IS YOUR NAME
by eric d.graham
According to Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches....” Unfortunately, in the hells of North America, the
so-called Negro, has had to live his entire life with the last name of his or
her “oppressors” or slave-masters. (Deut: 28:48)
Understand and Overstand, that the last names attached to
our family linage and heritage, is due to slavery, and denotes, whom our
families were enslaved to….Hence, the names such as Jones, Washington, Newkirk,
Murphy, Dixon, Wallace, Newton, Williams or Graham, so far and so on, is a
historical indicator, who owned our ancestors.
Meaning, for instance, Eric Graham-means (Eric) is the
property of the Graham family, which surname is English or Scottish.
We saw evidence of this in the film Roots by Alex Haley,
where Kunta Kinte, which was the name displayed on the shirt wore by Colin
Kaepernick as a symbolic form of resistance to the way the NFL has been
treating him during his workout session in Atlanta after his kneeling during
the National Anthem, was beaten and whipped until he was forced to take the
slave name Toby. (Ecclesiastes 7:7)
This is why the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, (Mal.4:5)
while decoding the scripture, referred to so-called Black people, as the Lost
Tribe of Shabazz, or the Lost Sheep from the Tribe of Israel (Matt 15:24) and
gave the members of the Nation of Islam the letter X, meaning “UNKNOWN” to
replace their slave masters’ last name.
For those in the know, the letter X, does NOT just
mean-UNKNOWN. It also stands for the Greek letter Chi, which means Christós
(Χριστός) anointed, as well as, RESURRECTION OR OSIRIS “Lord of the Perfect
Black,” (Check out the movie Black Panther, who is seen boldly standing with
his arms crossed)whom symbolically is represented as LAZARUS, who is RAISED
from the Dead in the Bible. (John 11:38-44). By the way, according to certain
scholars, LAZARUS stands for (LAZ-equal to Ras, meaning RAISED UP) and (ARUS)
mummified.
Let’s not forget, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was a
Master Mason, who knew the legend of Hiram Abiff, who, as the story is told,
was assassinated by three ruffians, whom he stated, historically, represented
France, Great Britain, and Spain. Of course, there were other co-conspirators
in this violent crime.
One struck him in the throat denying him access to (speak).
Another struck him in the heart, denying him access to (God, or Faith) and the
Last struck him in the head (denying him access to KNOWLEDGE).
Despite this conspiracy to KILL the so-called Black Man
& Woman, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, & PHYSICALLY in the Hells of North
America (Babylon), while lying to die, in the SHADOW of valley of DRY BONES,
was RAISED BACK UP by the Son of Man!!! This is why the Most Honorable Marcus
Garvey shouts “UP, UP, UP, YOU MIGHTY RACE!!! ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU CAN!!
Biblically, this story, is symbolically, foretold in the
Book of Ezekiel 37:1-14, which states:
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me OUT in the
spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full
of bones, And caused me to PASS by them ROUND about: and, behold, there were
very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me,
SON OF MAN, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry
bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones;
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall LIVE.
This is why changing of a person’s name has great importance
in the Biblical text. For instance, metaphorically, Abram’s name was changed to
Abraham in connection with his NEW name calling him to be “a father of many
nations” in (Gen 17:5)-as well as-Jacob, who was given the NEW name (Israel)
(Isis-Ra-El) (Gen 32:28; 35;10)
SEE, in the giving or taking of new names is a crucial
turning point in a person’s life. Hence, Simon was given the name Peter, the
“ROCK” upon, which the new community of the church would be built (Matt.16:18).
Hence, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave the Heavyweight Champion of the
World (Cassius Clay) the Holy name Muhammad Ali. (Gal 4:7)
