    1/4

    Gath Kumara (the winepress of the moon)

    1. After the denials of the unbelievers aremade recall this verse, testifying to thetruth of the progressive revelations of thy Lord, the flow of which can nevercease: And Joseph came to youaforetime with clear tokens, but yeceased not to doubt of the messagewith which He came to you, until,when He died, ye said, God will by nomeans raise up a Messenger afterHim. Thus doth God mislead him who

    is the transgressor the doubter.1. Therefore, understand from this verse

    and know of a certainty that the peoplein every age, clinging to a verse of theBook, have uttered such vain andabsurd sayings, contending that no

    Prophet should again be made manifestto the world.

    2. . The signs and tokens of the Truthshine even as the midday sun, and yetthe people are wandering, aimlesslyand perplexedly, in the wilderness of ignorance and folly.

    3. 4. 5. 6. 7. It has been written: And righteousness

    will I send down out of heaven; andtruth will I send forth out of the earth..(Moses 7:62)

    8. In 1891 began the commencement of the reign of righteousness with thebirth of the Noble Holy Apostle andmessenger of Allah Wali D. Fard Ali

    known in the wilderness of NorthAmerica as Wallace D. Fard.

    9. On January 1 st 1891 Wilford Woodruff 4 th President of the Latter Day Saints

    recorded in his journal: This is New

    Year s Day, and the year that has beenlooked upon by many as one of themore important years in the world.

    10. Where is He who is preserved to renewthe ordinances and laws? Where is HeWho hath the authority to transform

    the Faith and the followers thereof? 11. Curse those who say: The Lord has

    delayed His coming! 12. Truly did Jesus say: that evil servant

    shall say in his heart, My Lord delayethHis com ing. (Matt.14:48)

    13. A Youth shall be made manifest, whowill reveal a new Book and promulgatea new law; If ye hear about Him, hastenunto Him.

    14. Peace be upon the Truth made new.Say: He will perform that whichMuammad, the Messenger of God,hath performed, and will demolishwhatever hath been before Him even asthe Messenger of God hath demolishedthe ways of those that preceded Him.

    15. For his teachings will effect atransformation in the whole characterof mankind, a transformation that shallmanifest itself both outwardly and

    inwardly.

    16. 17. 18. 19. The coming of the son of man is likened

    unto the

    20. And remember you believers the wordsof the prophet Seer Joseph who wesent to prepare the way in the samemanner we sent John;

    21. That Allahs people be acknowledged,for the earth is given to them ;

    22. Fear not, little flock, for it is yourFathers pleasure to give you theKingdom.

    23. For he was a testament unto OurManifestation Wallace Fard Ali and tothe truth of his coming

    24. Ee25. This I instruct you:26. Seek you diligently for the truth and

    teach each one his brother words of wisdom; yea, seek you out thescriptures and revelations, the bestbooks; seek learning, by study andperserverance .

    27. Study the Gath Kumara, the winepressof the Moon, that which shall cause lifeto emerge anew from the compost of the darkness of apostasy anddestruction; the best of books and aGuide to the true believers of the latter-days

    28. The sad burial mound of two nationsbrings forth Glad Tidings from

    Cumorah: What do we hear in thebook which we have received? A voiceof gladness! A voice of mercy fromheaven; and a voice of truth out of theearth; glad tidings for the dead; a voiceof gladness for the living and the dead;glad tidings of great joy. How beautiful

    upon the mountains are the feet of those that bring glad tidings of goodthings, and that say unto Zion: Behold,thy God reigneth! As the dews of Carmel, so shall the knowledge of Goddescend upon them!

    29. Organize yourselves; and establish aheadquarters, even a house of salat(Mosque), a house of fasting, a house of iman (faith), a house of learning(ilm=knowledge), a house of glory, a

    house of order, a house of Allah;

    9. Let your incomings and outgoings thereinbe Bismillah (in the name of the Allah); and

    make your salutations one to another:

    10. 121 Therefore, acease from all your lightspeeches, from all blaughter, from all yourclustful desires, from all your dpride andlight-mindedness, and from all your wicked

    doings.

    30. Appoint among yourselves a teacher,

    that you all may be instructed in theholy teachings of the Manifestation of Allah, the Noble Holy Apostle andMessenger of Allah Wallace D. Fard Ali

    and let not all be teachers andspokesmen at once; but let the mostknowledgeable among you teach andinstruct the less knowledgeable and letall listen unto his sayings, that you maybe enlightened.

    31. 32. 123 See that ye alove one another;

    cease to be bcovetous; learn to impartone to another as the gospel requires.

    33. 34. 124 Cease to be aidle; cease to be

    bunclean; cease to cfind fault one withanother; cease to dsleep longer than isneedful; retire to thy bed early, that ye

    may not be weary; arise early, that yourbodies and your minds may beeinvigorated.

    35.

    upon his knees before God, in atoken or

    49. 50. 132 And when any shall come in after

    him, let the teacher arise, and, with

    auplifted hands to heaven, yea, evendirectly, salute his brother or brethrenwith these words:

    salute you in the name of the Lord JesusChrist, in token or remembrance of theeverlasting covenant, in which covenantI receive you to afellowship, in adetermination that is fixed, immovable,and unchangeable, to be your bfriendand cbrother through the grace of Godin the bonds of love, to walk in all thecommandments of God blameless, inthanksgiving, forever and ever.
