The Nuwaubians are a [[millenarianism|millenarian]] movement.{{sfnm|1a1=Palmer|1y=2010|1pp=134, 143|2a1=Palmer|2y=2021a|2p=343}} During the movement's earlier, more Islam-centred phases, York claimed that Shaytan's rule over the Earth would end in the year 2000. He maintained that in preparation, there needed to be born [[144,000]] Nubian children who would "rapture" their parents when that occurred.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|pp=56-57}}

In 1990, York claimed that white people would continue suffering the symptoms of leprosy – in which he included sun blisters, asthma, eczema, and [[AIDS]] – as the sun became hotter and the [[ozone layer]] thinner. He added that this would culminate in 2000, when Shaytan's rule on Earth would end and the white people would be forced to flee into underground caverns to escape the sun, allowing black people to rule the surface.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=16}}

York maintained that on May 5, 2000, a series of catastrophes would befall the Earth.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=135}} He further claimed that on August 12, 2003, spaceships will arrive to begin to arrive to rescue the 144,000 righteous people; these rescues, he thought, would continue until June 26, 2030.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=135}} As part of this, he described how a "Mothership" would land on the pyramid that the Nuwaubians had erected at Tama Re.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=73}} He varyingly referred to this spaceship as the "Motherplane", "Nibiru", and "the Crystal City".{{sfn|O'Connor|2000|p=121}} he associated this with the Merkabah described in [[Ezekiel 1]].{{sfn|O'Connor|2000|p=121}} York said that these "worthy souls" will go to "the Crystal City" before returning to the Earth to "save the planet" a thousand years later.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=135}} When these prophecies events failed to come about, it led to some defections from the Nuwaubian movement.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|pp=136-137}}
