Return to Net-Abbey
Hitler as Messiah and god

hitler
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s chief propagandist, said in a broadcast on 19 April 1936, that "Germany has been transformed into a great house of the Lord where the Fuhrer as our mediator stands before the throne of God."

"Spiritual" sentiments of this kind were echoed time and again during Hitler’s glory years. Another powerful voice in the Nazi party, Dr. Robert Ley, proclaimed that "We believe on this earth in Adolf Hitler alone! We believe in National Socialism as the creed which is the sole source of grace!"

Where did such ridiculous rant come from? What strange brain concocted these weird myths about the paranoid dictator with the toothbrush mustache?

Of course it was Hitler himself who ordered that he be presented as a deified messiah.

Before coming to power in January of 1933, Hitler wrote about his reaction to Berlin on his first visit there: "The luxury, the perversion, the iniquity, the wanton display, and the Jewish materialism [of Berlin’s commercial district] disgusted me so thoroughly that I was almost beside myself," Hitler recalled. "I nearly imagined myself to be Jesus Christ when he came to his Father’s temple and found it full of money-changers. I can well imagine how he felt when he seized a whip and scourged them out."

When Hitler compared himself to Jesus, he was proclaiming his own divinity. Knowing as we do that Hitler’s ambitions were eventually blown to smithereens, it’s hard for us to realize how many Germans considered him a supernatural being.

But it is true. Millions of German households actually erected shrines that featured a photograph of what they thought of as their dictator’s divine countenance. They said prayers in his behalf — even directed prayers to him — throughout the day.

In the eyes of his people, Hitler had rescued them from the humiliations of their defeat in World War I. Better still, he was going to lead all Germans into a future of unrivaled glory.

hitler as a god

Hitler as Militant Aryan Messiah

Freed at last from the dreadful fears that military and economic catastrophe had aroused in them, Germans envisioned Hitler as a truly magical figure of majestic wisdom and power. They saw him as an irresistible force, and they surrendered their whole hearts to him. He hypnotized Germans into worshipping him, successfully presenting himself as a savior and even as God himself.

Except for the tabloids, the international media tended to downplay his most grandiose claims. But the Vatican understood how important it was to talk back to Hitler on the divinity issue. In 1937, Pope Pius XI issued an official letter entitled "With Burning Heart" that scorned Hitler for his claims to godhood.

Re: He who restraineth???

Comparing Hitler to the Biblical Jesus


Hitler with Whip
My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited.

--Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 12 April 1922


Hitler not only believed he did the Lords work, but he thought of himself as a sort of saviour of Germany, and emulated Jesus of the New Testament. His friend Dietrich Eckart told of overhearing Hitler showing off to a lady by denouncing Berlin in extravagant terms: ". . . the luxury, the perversion, the iniquity, the wanton display and the Jewish materialism disgusted me so thoroughly that I was almost beside myself. I nearly imagined myself to be Jesus Christ when he came to his Father's Temple and found the money changers." Eckart described Hitler as "brandishing his whip and exclaimed that it was his mission to descend upon the capital like a Christ and scourge the corrupt." [Toland p. 143]

(See John 2:14-15 where Jesus drove out the moneychangers with a "scourge of small cords" [a whip]).

The following examples show further how Hitler compared with Jesus of the Bible.

Re: He who restraineth???

Hitler was far more, a false Christ than Nero was.

Yet, in all of this, the restrainer continues to restrain and the spirit of antichrist still seeks a man to rise over the earth.

The restrainer has held this spirit back for 2000 years, but will be removed at the right time for the rise of antichrist.

The antichrists weren't the Beast. There is only one beast, and their are many Antichrists, which had to be part of the congregations, and left. Sort.. of.. like... YOU!



Oh, next time you make a point, cover it with your hat.

Who is restraining?

What is he restraining?

Where will he be taken to when he is taken out of the way?


He who is being restrained from returning is Christ. The restrainer is the fact that the Anti-Christ has not been revealed. When the Anti-Christ is taken out of the way, Christ can return.

(1) Who is restraining?
(2) What is he restraining?
(3) Where will he be taken to when he is taken out of the way

(1) Who restrains is "...the Word of His Power..."

(2) The Holy Spirit (the firmament that divides) is first dividing “…the waters
from the waters”
(those who are His, and those not His) (Gn. 1:6); and then
it’s called to divide “… the waters which were UNDER the firmament from the
waters
which were ABOVE the firmament…”
(Gn. 1:7). It is restraining the
earthly waters (natural peoples) from reaching (overcoming) the heavenly
waters (spiritual peoples).

(3) You said it: "...only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the
way
."
All POWER is in God, by God, and in the hand of God. It is only the
Lord God that allows or hinders. He will not be taken up, but will step out of
the way to allow man to CHOOSE to do evil!

Exactly.

I have repented of my former belief that the restrainer is Michael the Archangel.
