Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, Did Malachi York Direct His Art Department To Transform Certain Pictures Of Real People Into Mythical And Malevolent Creatures?
Answer: They'll be clueless.
This article is intended to explain certain aspects about York's art department and how he used them to generate revenue and shape his visual image to his readers and followers. This article will not only touch on what may have inspired the pictures of his enemies, but also to shed some light on how York took advantage of the great art talent he had and how he intended to prevent their growth independent of York and his organization.
Since the late 1970's till York's imprisonment, his publications were known for having amazing graphics and stunning images. It was these images and layouts which helped to capture York's audience and entice them into his spell-bounding doctrine. York's artist, labored from before the sighting of the sun, till late at night with NO monetary compensation whatsoever. Some labored for over 25 years.
York kept the assumption alive that the pictures of biblical, Egyptian, Quranic or Sumerian characters were taken from his mind by way of him going back in time to bring you what these characters really looked like, but as you'll see, they were nothing more than the fabulous works of young and highly talented artists that York exploited.
Below was York's art department.
If there was someone to whom York may have not liked or felt intimidated by, York would have these individuals drawn and depicted as evil demons in his books. York's most hated enemy and the first person to publicly blow the lid of York's degenerate communal living conditions for his followers, his fantasy teachings and nonsensical claims of being a biblical Angel was a man named Bilal Philips, who authored the publication called "The Ansar Cult in America", it was this book that shocked York, causing him stop everything and alter his doctrine.
York would depict Philips in his publications as a pagan God of the old testament known as Baal, or in York's words, a "Black Devil".
As a result of Philips' book, York changed several rules and living standards, some included,
-endng the practice of the women having to sign up for welfare and food stamps once they moved in the Nubian Islamic Hebrew Mission
- closing the "Green Room", a bedroom or rental where a married, or general couple (mates) would have sex if the male turned in the highest amount of money.
- women had to end the practice of wearing the face veil. (in the cities)
- ending the men's attire of the white "Jalabiya's"
- directed his followers to drop Islam
- departed Brooklyn and relocated his operation to Monticello, New York (Jazzir Abba)
(just to name a few)
York became so paranoid that the Sunni Muslims would attack him, that he would advertise that he was protected by his personal military known as the infamous S.O.I. (Swords of Islam).
So to "Dr. York", Bilal Philips was the Devil incarnate.
Then there was another man that York apparently didn't like (for some unknown reason) and he is legendary Grammy winning music producer and composer Quincy Jones. York classified Quincy Jones as "Jubal", a musical Harp and Pipe instrument playing "Black Devil" responsible for turning music lovers or giving them over to the mythical Greek character "Pan" named "Jubal".
York has never given any reasons as to why he would single out Quincy Jones for these attacks, it remains a mystery.
Ashford and Simpson were also used as molds for York's twisted stories featuring Adam (Zakar) and Eve (Nekaybaw).
Even Haile Selassie wasn't immune to York's attacks. For years he made the bogus claim that Haile Selassie murdered Sayyid Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, York's pretend father. York has never presented any evidence of such a claim nor has he ever demonstrated and proof that he was of Sudanese birth.
And there were many others. Although it was a great idea to develop positive images of great women and men of old, but creating images of fictional religious characters along strange science fiction creatures from other planets for profit and convincing the followers that his images were exactly what they looked like was criminal.
EXAMPLES:
York would direct his art department to paint various images of characters York felt were important or of such significants that he took the role of being that character or leaving an impression that he resembled them so when necessary, he could later claim that he one of them or that he was related to them e.g. Jesus/Y'shua/Issa, Marduk, Melchizedek, Ben York, Abraham, Enki and so on.
-Revelation 1:12-16
York had an obsession with Jesus Christ and the idea of being a savior, this is evidence in his lectures and writings. This may have been one of the reasons why York would make statements like,
"I call all my brothers and sisters, come sip with me. I plead to the people to reconsider their acceptance, come follow me, for the covenant is complete in me. You have asked and he has given you me. You have sought and you have found me. You have knocked and I have opened the door for you. Don't shut the door and close yourself off from your only means of salvation. Now that I have been sent to redeem you, don't reject me, the way you rejected those sent before me. Come home you lost souls, come and follow me for I know the way...I am your savior, come and follow me..."
-Malachi York: The Degree of Christ-ism pg. 816
With that in mind, notice the drawing below of Jesus Christ, it was added to the Nuwaupian's bible called the "Holy Tablets" but that image would later be redrawn to look more like York (left).
York placed a heavy emphasis on Jesus Christ and his position as a savior. This was evident in York's descriptions of himself at the openings of some of his 90's audio and video recordings.
"For far too many years we have looked for our savior, some call him the Mahdi, and others the black Messiah, we know him as The Lamb: Rabboni Y'shua Bar EL Haadi; Khazon Y'ashua; Revelation 21:9...we judge him by his works, for we have seen him at work, for over 20 years. He is hated, he has been imprisoned, scorn, reviled, and slandered, yet he still stands strong. We have seen him give and give, and get nothing in return. He has helped many human beings, only for them to be Judas Iscariot, and turn on him for his love. We have seen him heal the sick with one touch of his hand. He has told us everything that is happening now in the world, before it happened. He told us we were Nubians, and he started the nose-ring. He explains so clearly each holy scripture in Aramic, which is Hebrew and Syriac which is Arabic, with him we now know all things so clearly. Yes he is here in human form right now, don't miss him, come sup with him, he is the key to all locked doors; he is the answer, yes; PEACE in THE LAMB it's TRULY WONDERFUL."
-Elohim live lecture (video/audio)
So York had his followers back in the early 1990's call him "The Lamb". The lower caption on the "Lamb" wall poster reads;
"I did not come to change the laws, but to fulfill them".
Below are all paintings of York (in the image of "Jesus" A/K/A/ The Lamb)
The painting and caption of York below says it all.
As indicated earlier, York would also direct the art department to not only paint or draw images of him in the form of prominent biblical figures like Jesus Christ, but also, as important Mesopotamian legends such as the Babylonian hero Marduk, the son of Enki and Grandson of ANU.
EXAMPLE:
"...though I am spiritually related to Enki as his son, I reject everything Enki stands for because he opposed ANU..."
-Malachi York: The God In You (video)
Below are paintings of Enki and York (the Supreme being)
This pattern of York taking on the persona of prominent characters in history was very noticeable, he's even claimed to be Melchizedek of the bible.
Below is another familiar painting of York as Melchizedek along with the original inspiration for the painting.
This assimilation of characters wasn't limited to fictional persons, York would also claim to be a "Black Indian" and in his words, a "kin to Ben York" of the Louis & Clarke expedition and used his artists' to illustrate the point.
The photo to the left was mentioned during the York trial in 2004 where one of his artists testified by saying,
"we did the one with the Indian feathers, it was when we had a Native American base and added them to the books...it was done then typed words over the top using a computer".
-Nichole Lopez: 2004
One of the best selling posters York ever released for sale, was one depicting a green Aset, (Isis). It generated thousands for York, and if you look closer, you can even see York on the wall as a Pharaoh wearing the blue war crown called the Khepresh.
York's young artists' brought in substantial revenue for York year after year and they were paid nothing for their labor, neither were any of his staff. This too came up at York's trial in January, 2004.

Nichole Lopez: I worked in the back office, I was in the art department with Joyce Mobley or Hayes, the lady who was the artist at the time, and we did different things in that department. So we went from publications to the sewing room then back to the back office, filling etc.
Q. Did you get paid anything for the work you did?
Nichole Lopez: No.
-Nichole Lopez
York would speak about a spiritual "being" named Rama, a spirit guide well known to New Age esoteric groups like as Astara. York decided to add Rama into his philosophy, so he ordered one of the artist's to paint a new version of Rama, just making him a little darker and asserting the bogus claim that he's the 13th of the biblical 24 elders of the book of Revelation.
There was no limit to York's ambitions to make a profit off of his artists' work. York would rewrite and place his spin on the teaching from other organizations, one being the story of Yakub as found in the Nation of Islam's Lost Found Moslem Lesson no. 2., York copied the story and developed an entirely new narrative around it.
After all the time York put into making up a new scenario around the Yaaquub story and the time his art department had to put in painting images for the story line, York would make it clear in a lecture that he did't even believe the story and that it did happen.
"...Yakub was a scientist with the head the size of 2 men...that's a nice well packaged doctrine until you start punching holes in it...and the Nation of Islam's lessons are wrong.."
-Malachi York: You Are Egiptians, You Are Gods (audio for more information)
We can go on and on with demonstrations of York's exploitation of his artist's work for income, his personal vendetta's against people he hated, those he liked or to boost the delusional images of himself to his followers. Those who produced the fabulous pictures using pastel artwork, from Miss Hayes to Nikki Lopez, they never received the proper recognition or financial compensation from York and it's ridiculous how he marginalized them.
Although the Nuwaupians are now seen by a large majority as a silly religious cult, they continue to propagate York's nonsensical doctrine, seeking new members to pass on the process in the name of York. So it's of great importance to stomp out York's sickness with the medicine of truth, if not, we'll see another generation lost in his religious robotic rhetoric, suffering from extreme cognitive dissonance. This website is dedicated in that effort to ultimately debunk and eliminate the pseudo scholarship of York and Nuwaupian-ism.
To all the artists who contributed to this article, again, I thank you for all that you've done.
