Malcolm X, Jesus, and The Essenes The Gospel of Malcolm X

    • History

In this Episode talk about the connection between Jesus, Malcolm X, and the Essenes. In his autobiography Malcolm X mentions Jesus being part of an Egyptian Brotherhood called The Essenes . Here is passage for from the autobiography of Malcolm X where he refers to Jesus and the Essenes . I can't remember how, or why, he somehow happened to mention the Dead Sea Scrolls. I came back with something like, "Yes, those scrolls are going to take Jesus off the stained-glass windows and the frescoes where he has been lily-white, and put Him back into the true mainstream of history where Jesus actually was non-white." The reporter was surprised, and I went on that the Dead Sea Scrolls were going to reaffirm that Jesus was a member of that brotherhood of Egyptian seers called the Essene-a fact already known from Philo, the famous Egyptian historian of Jesus' time. And the reporter and I got off on about two good hours of talking in the areas of archaeology, history, and religion. It was so pleasant. I almost forgot the heavy worries on my mind-for that brief respite. I remember we wound up agreeing that by the year 2000, every schoolchild will be taught the true color of great men of antiquity. We also talk about Elijah Muhammad and the Kennedy Situation some more
