The Risen Christ and His Representative
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful
Thank you, Brother, for your very profound question. I will, by the Grace of Allah, answer in a way that will allow you to further research this topic. First, I would direct you to get the message by Minister Farrakhan that I believe will give you great insight into the application of the title "Christ" to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad: Respite Me Until the Day When They Are Raised Mosque Maryam - Chicago, IL, 07/17/2005 available at FinalCall.com.
To answer the question simply and directly: 1. "The Risen Christ" means "a man raised to Divine Power and given authority by The Supreme Being to exact justice on humanity." 2. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is that man, The Risen Christ. 3. The Honorable Louis Farrakhan is the Representative of Christ in our midst.
The word Christ is a title and to understand it we have to delve into some of the historical origin of the word; that will enable us to have a clear perspective on what the phrase "The Risen Christ" means. The concept of the "Christ" is not exclusive to Christians nor did it originate with them. The followers of Jesus were first called Christians out of mockery by their enemies at Antioch in much the same way that followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad are mocked today. The followers of Jesus believed him to be the long awaited Christ, or Messiah, and represented him as such. The people at Antioch made fun of this seemingly foolish expectation and called them "Christians".
What is the origin of "Christ"? Christ is the Desire
of God to perfect the universe begun by The Creator of the Heavens
and the Earth. In modern historical references he (Christ) is first
referred to by the Ancient Egyptians in the so-called Osirian myths.
Osiris (Greek), Caesar (Roman), Wazir (Arabic), or Ausar (Egyptian),
brought high civilization and agriculture to the people of northeast
Africa or Egypt. He
was the first ruler of the Egyptians and ruled with righteousness,
love and wisdom along with his Queen Auset, or Isis (Greek).
But his evil brother Set envied King Ausar. Set eventually murdered
his brother and cut his body into 14 pieces. Auset, mourning the
murder of her husband, ventured along the Nile collecting the pieces
of his body finding all but one, the phallus which had been eaten
by a fish. Inventing the process of embalming and mummification,
Auset assembled the body of Osiris briefly and was able to fashion
a false penis. She was able to conceive her son, Horus (Roman),
Heracles (Greek), Heru (Egyptian) who would, one day, avenge his
father by battling his evil uncle. (A side note: Disney has made
many millions of dollars off of this story by refashioning it and
presenting it as The Lion King. Mufasa=Ausar, Scar=Set, Simba=Heru)
The Ancient Egyptian Set is the prototype of the Judeo-Christian
Sat-an. After being embalmed, Ausar becomes the God of the Underworld
and the Judge of the Dead, assigning souls to eternal paradise or
total destruction. His son, Heru did avenge his death by battling
and defeating Set.
Of course we don't believe in "magic" but what is significant here is that Auset conceived Heru after embalming Ausar. This is also the origin of the Virgin Birth Concept as she did not conceive with a "mortal" Ausar, but a divinely resurrected one, hence her son would be the son of God and not of a "normal" man. One may beg the question, "did she have sex with a dead dude?" That's not the focus here. What we have before us is the origin of the concept of "Christ". To make a mummy one must remove the soft organs and moisture from the body, rubbing or massaging oils into the skin, and wrapping the body. Auset did not restore all of the parts because a fish ate the phallus. The symbol for Christianity, originally, was a fish representing both the work of "fishing" for men and the reproductive power inherent "in" fish.
The final product is known as a mummy, an Arabic word that means pitch or bitumen, a black tar-like substance. Well, what did the Egyptians call them? The Egyptian word for "mummy" is Karast. Karast is the word we use today as Christ. Ausar, the first Karast, the Judge of the Dead, the Great One who teaches civilization and righteousness, he who was resurrected from the dead into power, is the prototype of the Judeo-Christian concepts of Christ. A karast is made by rubbing it with preserving substances or massaging it. Christ is also known as Messiah. Messiah means "the anointed one" and has the same root meaning as massage. Anointing involves rubbing oils into the body as does the process of making a mummy or karast; Messiah refers to the process of anointing one into Divine Power.
The so called Jews and Christians owe all of their theological roots to the Ancient Egyptians. Both Moses and Jesus were raised, taught and trained in Ancient Egypt. So is it myth or fact? I said a minute ago that Christ is the Desire of God to perfect the universe begun by The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. I also said that in "modern historical references" Christ "first" appears in Ancient Egypt. I say "modern" because the true reality of Christ goes back to the Originator's desires for His universe untold trillions of years ago. The stories of Ausar are prophesies. The stories of Jesus are prophesies of the reality of God's intentions.
We believe that Almighty Allah came in the person of Master W. Fard Muhammad and resurrected the Honorable Elijah Muhammad from the dead Black man and woman of North America. Since 1931, he, Elijah, has done the work prophesied of him in both the Bible and the Holy Qur'an. Since 1955, Louis Farrakhan, has been the chief witness of Elijah's reality. See and hear the True Pope, the true representative of Christ on earth, Minister Louis Farrakhan, the true fulfillment of Auset (since 1977 he has been collecting the pieces of The Nation of Islam, reassembling it and breathing life into it)! In the pain and suffering of the poor dead Blackman, we cry out as Jesus did on the cross, "Eli Eli lama sabachthani! My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Those watching said, "Behold! This man crieth for Elijah, let us see will Elijah come and bring him down."
