“It is written in the Book of Ezekiel (3:18-19), ‘When I say unto the wicked, “You shall surely die,” and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.  Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.’  It is in this spirit that I make this announcement. …”  This international press conference was held by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan at the J.W.
