Both Guernica and the 1934 drawing conceal references to a mystical
battle between Picasso and Hitler in connection with the Spear of
Destiny. This hidden pictorial narrative, set in the context of Wagner's
opera Parsifal, reveals some uncanny associations with events in
Hitler's life and with his quest to dominate Europe.
Vienna 1909-1913According to the account of Dr Walter Stein, the young Hitler whilst living as a down and out in Vienna undertook a penetrating study of the Occult meanings underlying Wolfram Von Eschenbach's Thirteenth Century Grail Romance, 'Parsival'. Stein through various contacts with Hitler became convinced that he was deeply involved with the Occult and had an experienced spiritual mentor, possibly linked to the infamous 'Blood Lodge of Guido Von Liszt.Hitler later claimed in Mein Kampf, that these had been the most vital years of his life in which he learned all he needed to know to lead the Nazi Party. Stein got to know Hitler because of their mutual interest in the Spear of Destiny - a relic on display in the Hapsburg's treasury at the Hofmuseum in Vienna. The relic was said to have phenomenal talismanic power having once been used at the Crucifixion to wound the side of Christ. According to legend, possession of the Spear would bring its owner the power to conquer the world, but losing it would bring immediate death. The relic had been owned by a succession of powerful European rulers down through the centuries and eventually came to be in the possession of the Hapsberg Dynasty. Hitler confided to Stein that the first time he saw the Spear he had witnessed extraordinary visions of his own destiny unfolding before him. In 1923, on his deathbed, Hitler's mentor Dietrich Eckart, a dedicated Satanist and central figure in the Occult Thule Society and a founder member of the Nazi party, said: 'Follow Hitler ! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune !' 'I have initiated him into the 'Secret Doctrine', opened his centres in vision and given him the means to communicate with the Powers.'On 12th March 1938, the day Hitler annexed Austria, he arrived in Vienna a conquering hero. He first port of call was to the Hofmuseum where he took possession of the Spear which he immediately sent to Nuremberg, the spiritual capital of Nazi Germany. At 2.10 on 30th April, 1945, during the final days of the war, after considerable bombing of Nuremberg, the Spear fell into the hands of the American 7th Army under General Patton. Later that day, in fulfilment of the legend, Hitler committed suicide. © Mark Harris 1996 Further Reading: The Spear of Destiny, by Trevor Ravenscroft, Published by Neville Spearman, London, 1974.

Obama and the Spear of Destiny
Some
believe the key to Hitler's supernatural authority was his connection
with an ancient artifact known as the Spear of Destiny. If you're aware
of the intercession of Rees Howells in Wales during WW II, and familiar
with the role played by Walter Stein as an advisor consulted by
Churchill and Roosevelt, and the Book of Jasher with its testimony about
the role certain artifacts have played, the version of the Spear's role
presented in Trevor Ravenscroft's controversial "The Spear of Destiny"
makes a lot of sense. I'm reading through that book for the first time, and some of the content is being used by the Lord to connect some dots for me. I can't say how reliable Trevor's testimony is, or Stein's as it appears in the book, but I am convinced that there is something in this that fits the reality of the present and the apparent record of history. I was discussing these things with a friend the other day and it occurred to me that the Spear was responsible for the Obama phenomenon. Do I have proof? No. I have proof of nothing. Yet, it seems likely, and I'll share something in a few moments that you should find to be of significant interest in this regard.
It was way back in March of 2010 that I began a series of 15 posts titled, What does the Olympic Rings logo really mean?
Through the course of that series a lot of features identifying Obama
with Hitler were presented that should be considered as laying the
foundation for this post. Additionally, you'll find a series on The Open
Scroll titled Olympic Ceremony Symbolism
to be most helpful. I'm not going to provide any history of the Spear
of Destiny for you here but I encourage you to search out the matter as
the Lord may lead, to His satisfaction. After it occurred to me that Obama's following in the same spirit and authority that was manifest in Hitler was also related to the Spear I did a quick Web search to see if anyone else had made the connection. I discovered a series of posts to a forum (Obama - The Spear of Destiny -- Godlike Productions Forum) where I learned some very interesting facts! It's common knowledge that Barack Obama previously went by the name, Barry Soetoro. What isn't widely known is that his name can be interpreted to mean - the spear of destiny!
Barrie: "Its source is Bearach, an Irish Gaelic name meaning "Spear."
Bearach: "Bearach is a boy's name of Irish, Gaelic origin meaning "spear"."
Barack and Barry or Bearach and Barrie, these translate to spear. Obama, Irish?
Obama visited Ireland recently on an ancestral journey. (~May 23, 2011)
"The US president went to Moneygall in County Offaly on his state visit, because his great, great, great grandfather came from the village."
"looking up his Irish roots in Moneygall"
Obama, Irish! Whether Barry or Barack, his name means spear. From Soetoro comes, fortunate, like fortune, destiny.
"Soetoro is a typical Javanese name, pronounced [sutoro]. As we saw in the case of the fancifully named Batman bin Suparman, the Su- or Soe- prefix (from a Sanskritic root meaning 'good, fortunate') is very common in Javanese names." (LanguageLog.ldc.upenn.edu)
If the Obama phenomenon is in some way due to an association with such an ancient artifact, it explains a lot, really. The spear and the grail quest are then as a series of dots that find connections on many levels and provide continuity for some of the long running threads. Yet, whether Barry Soetoro is or is not the destined possessor of the Spear in this hour has no impact on my conviction that he is not The Antichrist, because neither he nor Hitler before him could claim what awaits fulfillment in a day yet to come.
Some say the Spear was acquired by the US through Operation Paperclip. Some say by other means. Some insist that no one knows. Some believe there is no such thing or that it doesn't matter. I think, "Where there's smoke, there's fire." There's plenty of smoke swirling around the spear and the grail quest. No fire there? I don't buy it!
The President's name suggests the Spear of Destiny. Coincidence? Given how "Yes We Can" = "Thank You Satan" - No. I don't buy that explanation. Given what I hear in his reverse speech when he accepted the office of President, I definitely don't buy it. "I was their first Nabu. I built Babel. Her slaves thee." Obama inherited supernatural authority from ancient times. Of that, I have no doubt. The witness of his inheriting the Apollo/Horus identity assumed by Hitler speaks volumes to me, as I've set forth at length in this blog. That he would be connected through the Spear just makes sense.
The Spear of Destiny in the DC Universe
By Aaron Severson
Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.
But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus's side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.
These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”
and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”
– John 19:31-37
The Spear of Destiny
The Spear of Destiny, a legendary artifact associated — like
the Holy Grail, the Crown of Thorns, and the Shroud of Turin — with the final
moments of Jesus Christ, has played a significant role in the history of the
DC Universe. But what is the Spear? What is the basis of the legend and its
historical significance in the real world? And what does it do? This page traces
the history of the Spear in legend, in fact, and in the pages of DC Comics.
The Legend of the Spear
The Spear of Destiny, also known as the Spear of Longinus and the Heilige Lance — Holy Lance — is one of the most important Christian relics of the Passion of Jesus Christ. As first described in John 19:31-37, the Spear was used by a Roman soldier (identified in later accounts as Gaius Cassius, later called Longinus) to pierce the side of Christ on the cross. The Spear, bathed in the blood of the Lamb and playing a significant role in the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, is said to have acquired tremendous mystical power. The first sign of that power was the purported healing of Gaius Cassius's failing eyesight by blood from the wound. The centurion later become an early convert to Christianity.According to legend, the Spear subsequently passed through a multitude of hands, coming into the possession of many of Europe's most important political and military leaders, including Constantine I, Alaric (the Visigoth king who sacked Rome in the year 410), Frankish general Charles Martel, Charlemagne, Frederick of Barbarossa, and Frederick II. A leader who possessed the Spear was said to be invincible; Charlemagne and Frederick of Barbarossa were undefeated in battle until they let the Spear fall from their hands.
As a young man, Adolf Hitler was allegedly fascinated with the Spear of Destiny, which he first saw displayed in the Hofsburg museum in Vienna, Austria, in 1909. Hitler was familiar with the legend of the Holy Lance and his interest in the relic was further amplified by its role in the 1882 opera Parsifal (by Hitler's favorite composer, Richard Wagner) which concerned a group of ninth-century knights and their quest for the Holy Grail. Author Trevor Ravenscroft claims that Hitler's fascination with the Spear sparked Hitler's interest in the occult, which gave birth to his ideas on the origins and purpose of the Germanic race and contributed to his belief in his own destiny as a world conqueror.
On October 12, 1938, not long after the German annexation of Austria, Hitler ordered the S.S. to seize the Spear and other artifacts from Vienna. They were taken by train to Nuremberg, where they were stored in St. Katherine's Church. The Spear remained in St. Katherine's until 1944, when it was moved to a specially constructed vault beneath the church, built in secret and at great expense to protect the stolen relics from Allied bombs. Nuremberg was captured by Allied troops in April of the following year and the vault was subsequently discovered by American Army officers. The Spear was confiscated by American forces on the afternoon of April 30, 1945 — according to some stories, less than two hours before Hitler's suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin. Like the Spear's previous owners, Hitler perished after the relic was taken from him.
Was It Real?
Like most holy relics, the history of the Spear of Destiny is complex and full of conflicting and hard-to-authenticate accounts. The earliest reports of the Spear were circa 570 A.D., when it was said to have been on display in the basilica of Mount Sion in Jerusalem, alongside the Crown of Thorns. The point of the spear's blade was supposedly broken off following the Persian conquest of Jerusalem in 615 A.D. and set into an icon. In that form, it supposed found its way to the church of Saint Sophia in Constantinople and later to France, remaining in the Sainte Chapelle until the 18th century. It was briefly moved to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris during the French Revolution, but subsequently disappeared. Meanwhile, the rest of the spearhead was supposedly transferred from Jerusalem to Constantinople sometime in the eighth century. It was taken by the Turks in the 14th century and sent by Sultan Bajazet as a gift to Pope Innocent VIII in 1492. Innocent ordered the relic placed in Saint Peter's in Rome, where it remains today. Although Pope Benedict XIV believed the spear tip in the Sainte Chapelle was part of the same spearhead, the Church has never made any official statement regarding the authenticiy of either relic.There are several other competing relics in different locations. One such "Holy Lance" was allegedly unearthed by Crusader Peter Bartholomew in Antioch in 1098. That Lance is now at Etschmiadzin in Armenia. Scholars believe that that spearhead is not actually a Roman lance, but the head of a standard, although it may have an interesting history of its own, separate from the legend of the Lance. Another claimant has rested in Krakow for about 800 years.
Hitler's lance was the fourth Spear, alternatively called the Lance of St. Maurice and the Holy Lance of Hapsburg, which is part of the Imperial Regalia of the house of Hapsburg. This spearhead is bound with gold, copper, and silver threads to a nail, which is purported to be one of the nails of the Crucifixion. The earliest verifiable account of this Spear was its use in a coronation ceremony in 1273. It rested in Nuremberg during the Middle Ages, but by the early 20th century, it was placed on display at the Treasure House of the Hofsburg museum in Vienna, where Hitler saw it in 1909. This Spear has no greater claim to authenticity than any of the others — in 2003, metallurgical tests suggested that the spear is actually from no earlier than the 7th century A.D. — although Hitler was allegedly convinced that it was the genuine article, leading to its confiscation by the S.S. in 1938. In 1946, the Spear and the rest of the Imperial Regalia were returned to Austria, where they are once again on public display at the Hofsburg museum.
It should be noted that all the various purported Holy Lances are only spearheads, not complete weapons. The spear used by Longinus was most likely a Roman hasta (long spear), an iron head mounted on a hardwood shaft roughly 12 feet long. The shaft of the Spear either was not preserved or was lost to the ravages of time.
The Spear in the DC Universe
The Spear was introduced to DC continuity in February 1977 in Weird War Tales #50. In the DC Universe, the relic seized by Adolf Hitler was indeed the real Spear of Longinus. It had a history every bit as remarkable as Hitler believed and it possessed real — and exceptionally formidable — mystic powers.The DC Universe Spear was somewhat different from the various real-world relics. It was usually depicted as a short spear, perhaps 4 feet long, rather than a hasta. It is also intact: The spearhead was never separated from the shaft and later evidence suggested that the Spear could be damaged or destroyed by any conventional means.
It was never been revealed precisely how Hitler acquired the Spear in the DC Universe. It may have been displayed in Vienna and seized in 1938, just as the Hapsburg Spear was in real life. In the 1980s, the supervillain called The Wizard claimed to have provided Hitler with the Spear, but the Wizard's former villainous colleague Per Degaton maintained that the Wizard was in Tibet at that time and had nothing to do with Hitler's acquistion of the relic. (America vs. the Justice Society #3 and #4) In any case, the DC Universe's Hitler did not entrust the Spear to his lackeys at Nuremberg, choosing instead to keep the relic with him in Berlin.
In November 1940, Nazi agents in Scotland captured three American "mystery men": Batman, the Flash, and Green Lantern. The three heroes had been dispatched by President Franklin Roosevelt and William Stephenson, the head of British intelligence, to investigate reports of a planned German invasion of Great Britain. At a specially convened rally in Berlin hours later, Hitler prepared to unmask the three Americans and then slay them with the Spear of Destiny as a demonstration of German superiority. He was interrupted by the arrival of two more American heroes, Dr. Fate and Hourman, who quickly freed the three captives.
Enraged, Hitler called on the mystic power of the Spear. Despite the Spear's origins as a Christian artifact, Hitler's philosophy (at least on Earth-Two) was a decidedly un-Christian one, influenced by Frederich Nietszche and Teutonic myth as interpreted by Wagner. As a result, most of the magical effects Hitler produced with the Spear took the form of figures from Norse mythology. His cry of rage summoned a flight of Valkyries, the sword maidens of Wotan, riding the winged horses of legend. At Hitler's command, the valkyries attacked the American heroes, engaging them in battle high above Berlin.
Exultant at this sign of his own power and German's dominance, Hitler ordered his commanders to begin Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of Great Britain, which had been scrapped months earlier as a result of poor weather in the English channel. At the same time an experimental long-range bomber was dispatched across the Atlantic to attack Washington, D.C. in hopes of killing President Roosevelt.
As the beleaguered heroes pursued the valkyries, who headed out over the ocean to escort the bomber on its way, Dr. Fate issued mystic summons, enlisting the aid of other American mystery men. Drawn to England by Fate's magic, the Atom, Hawkman, and the Sandman joined British troops in repelling the first wave of German invaders. Just as they realized that they stood no chance against the full might of the Nazi force, they were joined by The Spectre, the recipient of Fate's fourth summons. Growing to enormous size, the Spectre strode into the English Channel and singlehandedly laid waste to the entire German fleet, crushing ships and men like toys.
Hastily regrouping, the nine assembled heroes engaged the valkyries, but were unable to prevent the Nazi bomber from reaching the American mainland. That attack was thwarted thanks to the timely arrival of Superman, who demolished the German bomber and intercepted its deadly cargo. Minutes later, the Atom prevented one of the valkyries from striking down President Roosevelt in the Oval Office. Their mission a failure, the valkyries vanished, returning to whence they came.
At Roosevelt's suggestion, the heroes agreed to form a permanent team, for which Superman provided a name: the Justice Society of America. (DC Special #29)
A little over a year later, in the wake of the Japanese attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt convened the All-Star Squadron, an organization of all American mystery men and metahuman heroes of the era. The Squadron was enlisted to invade the Japanese mainland in the hope that their assembled might would bring about a swift end to the war.
Unbeknownst to the heroes, however, Hitler apparently spent part of the previous year further investigating the power of the Spear of Destiny. With the help of a Japanese sorcerer and scientist known only as the Dragon King, then in possession of the Holy Grail, Hitler created a mystic barrier surrounding Axis territory. As the All-Star Squadron discovered with disasterous results, any hero vulnerable to magic who entered the Spear's "Sphere of Influence" fell victim to a magical compulsion to serve the Axis cause.
In their first encounter with the Sphere of Influence, the unaffected heroes managed to forestall a disaster by luring their magically entranced comrades out of the range of the compulsion spell, and beat a hasty retreat. Afterwards, the Allied commanders, realizing the potentially horrific consequences of the most powerful American heroes falling under Nazi control, ordered all metahuman operatives to stay out of Axis-controlled or disputed territory, thereby confining many of the heroes to the home front. (All-Star Squadron #4)
The Spear of Destiny's influence served to keep the majority of the Allied heroes from playing an active part in the war either in Europe or in the Pacific. In the final months of the war, however, American heroes discovered that the Sphere of Influence was weakening as the Germans and Japanese lost ground, enabling some Allied heroes to venture cautiously into some previously restricted territory. (National Comics v.2 #1)
With Allied troops nearing Berlin in mid-April of 1945, Hitler feared that the war was lost. Unwilling to accept defeat gracefully, he determined to avenge himself upon the German people who had proven unworthy to carry out his dreams of conquest. He attempted to use the power of the Spear of Destiny to bring about Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods as he pictured it from the final chapter of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung cycle.
Although Hitler never knew it, he came perilously close to succeeding. The Spear's power ripped a hole in the sky, unraveling the fabric of the universe as Hitler's vision of Gotterdamerung drew to a close. To stop it, the Justice Society of America traveled back in time from some 50 years in the future and entered the Ragnarok cycle. By intervening in the battle, the Justice Society prevented the cycle from reaching its conclusion, saving the world — but only at the cost of being forced to endlessly repeat the events of the battle, apparently for all eternity. (Last Days of the JSA Special)
In 1945, Hitler knew only that his last efforts had failed; the power of the Spear had at last deserted him. Not long afterward, he committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin, alongside his wife, Eva Braun.
Moments after Hitler's death, the Spear was removed from his bunker by a mysterious figure, who was pursued by a pair of American soldiers. One of the soldiers was slain, but his comrade, Sergeant Baxter, tracked the Spear to the home of Baron Kragen, a mad German nobleman who hoped to use its power to revive the Third Reich. Baxter killed Kragen and his daughter, Ilse, but was himself slain by the Baron's Chinese manservant, who claimed the Spear for himself.
The Spear was subsequently taken to China, where its power aided Mao Tse Tung's Communist revolution, and later to Korea, Laos, and Cambodia. (Weird War Tales #50) It eventually fell into the hands of the Soviets and was transported to Russia, where it remained until it was seized by agents of Kobra the Conqueror. Kobra subsequently attempted to use the Spear to destroy the Spectre. Although the villain was ultimately unsuccessful, he did discover that the Spear had the power to harm the Spectre's ectoplasmic form. (Armageddon: Inferno #1–3)
After Kobra's defeat, the Spear was retrieved by American intelligence operative Eve Eden (a.k.a. Nightshade) and delivered to Sarge Steel, then the U.S. secretary of metahuman affairs. The relic was crated and filed in a warehouse for future study. (Spectre v.3 #21)
The Spear was forgotten for about a year until the Spectre destroyed the Balkan state of Vlatava, leveling that nation and wiping out virtually all of its population. (Spectre #13) In the wake of that incident, the U.S. government hired occult researcher Professor Nicodemas Hazzard to find a weapon capable of destroying the Spectre. Interviewing the surviving members of the Justice Society of America, Hazzard learned of the Spear's existence from Wesley Dodds, the former Sandman. (Spectre #20) Hazzard discovered its current location and arranged for it to be removed from its warehouse.
The Spear was entrusted to Superman, who agreed to confront the Spectre and, if necessary, use the Spear to destroy the vengeful spirit. Unfortunately, Hazzard's investigation had neglected one crucial detail: The Spear's power was still infected by the madness of Adolf Hitler, making anyone who wielded it suffer megalomaniacal delusions. (Spectre #21)
Superman confronted the Spectre, but was overcome by the Spear's curse. The Man of Steel was subjected to a grim, vivid hallucination in which he used the Spear's power to conquer and ultimately destroy the world. Superman was able to break free of the Spear's influence before losing control, although he realized that he could not use it against the Spectre. Instead, the Man of Steel and the Spectre came to an agreement that there could be no future atrocities like Vlatava, an arrangement that Superman later conveyed to Sarge Steel and the President. Recognizing the danger that the Spear represented, Superman enlisted the Spectre's help of disposing of it. The Spectre flung it into Earth orbit, buried at the center of an enormous mass of ash and debris from Vlatava. (Spectre v.3 #22)
Months later, a conspiratorial organization called the National Interest retrieved the Spear of Destiny from space (Spectre #47) and once again attempted to use the Spear against the Spectre, who only narrowly escaped destruction. Afterwards, the Spectre hurled the Spear towards the sun, hoping to put it further out of reach. (Spectre #50)
Later, the Spectre, no longer bound to the soul of Jim Corrigan, was possessed by the fallen angel Asmodel, who used the Spectre entity's power to lay waste to creation. As Earth's heroes organized against the Spectre, Captain Marvel, accompanied by Starfire, located the Spear of Destiny — still on its journey towards the sun — and returned the relic to Earth. (Day of Judgment #3) Asmodel was subsequently defeated by the spirit of former Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who was now bound to the power of the Spectre (Day of Judgment #5). Jordan subsequently entrusted the Spear to the Sentinels of Magic, a loose-knit group of magic-wielding heroes including Sentinel, Zatanna, Dr. Occult, Faust, and the Blue Devil. The Sentinels hurled the Spear of Destiny into the sun after casting a spell to ensure that only they would be able to retrieve it (Day of Judgment Secret Files & Origins #1)
The Spear's Powers
The exact nature and extent of the Spear's powers were ambiguous. However, even those with no formal magical training were able to use the relic to produce world-altering effects: Aside from the Sphere of Influence, Adolf Hitler used the Spear's power to summon a flight of real, tangible valkyries and, in April 1945, nearly succeeded in unleashing the devastation of Gotterdamerung onto the Earth and bringing about the end of the world. Other individuals with no mystical inclination have nearly succeeded in destroying the Spectre, one of the DC Universe's most powerful magical entities, by simply using the Spear as a melee weapon. The Sphere of Influence itself was an extremely formidable spell, capable of automatically controlling the minds and wills of the most powerful metahumans and sorcerers at tremendous distances without even requiring the conscious volition of the Spear's wielder. It should be noted, however, that the Sphere was created by Hitler in partnership with the Dragon King and bolstered with the power of the Holy Grail. A feat of such magnitude might not have been possible without the assistance of a more competent magic-user.Most evidence strongly suggested that the Spear was indestructible or at least impervious to any conventional assault. On three occasions, the Spear has survived being accelerated to the escape velocity of the Earth (i.e., each time it was thrown into space), and its eventual disposal by the Sentinels of Magic indicated that even being thrown into the sun did not actually destroy the Spear, although it obviously made it more difficult to retrieve).

For more information on Adolf Hitler's obsession with the Spear, there's a book by the late Trevor Ravenscroft, entitled Spear of Destiny: The Occult Power behind the Spear which pierced the side of Christ &helllip and how Hitler inverted the Force in a bid to conquer the world (Samuel Weiser, 1987, ISBN: 0877285470). The book is quite entertaining, although not very credible as a piece of serious history. Ravenscroft also wrote a sequel, entitled The Mark of the Beast: The Continuing Story of the Spear of Destiny, (Samuel Weiser, 1997, ISBN: 0877288704), which I have not read. Some of the information for the historical section of this article also came from the Wikipedia entry on the Holy Lance.

Title: STUDY OF ANTICHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM BY STUDYING ADOLF HITLER AND HIS KINGDOM -- PART 1 -- HITLER'S VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY AND THE CHURCH
Subtitle: Adolf Hitler thought he was history's Antichrist; the Demonic Host told Adolf he was to be Antichrist. Hitler established the type of kingdom Antichrist will establish when he finally arises. Today, we shall examine the Satanic Church Hitler established to see what is in store for the world very soon.
The New World Order is coming! Are you
ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is
being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your
daily news!!
Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones! Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the same way again.
THE CUTTING EDGE
INTRODUCTION: PROPHECY FROM THE DEMONIC HOST
"The Beast does not look what he
is. He may even have a comic moustache." ["The Antichrist",
written by Soloviev, quoted by Trevor Ravenscroft, "Spear of Destiny",
p. 106, published in 1897
]
From the beginning, Hitler was backed by Satanic power! When these words were penned
in 1897, young Adolf was only 8 years old! Obviously, he had not even thought of
growing a moustache yet. This is a great example of the little known fact
that, where God does not act to specifically prohibit, Satan and his demons are capable of
limited foreknowledge.
After Adolf was released from the
defeated German Army following World War II, he joined the Satanic Secret Society,
the Thule Society, directed at that time by Dietrich Eckart. Before
Eckart ever met Adolf, he received a vision from his guiding spirit, telling him
that he was going to meet the young man who was destined to become
history's Antichrist. Eckart was told to spare no effort in training Hitler in
the deepest areas of the occult, preparing him for his historic role. Eckart
accomplished this goal very well, as both history and Trevor Ravenscroft,
writing in "Spear of Destiny" demonstrate. As Eckart lay dying,
he was ecstatic! He had accomplished a unique training of a unique occultist, who would capture the
world. Hitler had the training; he had the power; he had a unique demonic presence within
him that would carry him to the heights of power in Germany and beyond,
and would nearly capture the leadership of the world! Listen to Eckart as he lay on
his deathbed:
"Follow Hitler! He will dance, but
it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the
Secret Doctrine, opened his centres in vision, and
given him the means to communicate with the
powers
.
Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced history more than any other
German." [Satanist, Dietrich Eckart, from his deathbed, December, 1923, quoted by Trevor Ravenscroft, "Spear of Destiny",
p. 91]
Few people understand how
completely Adolf Hitler was controlled by Satan. Hitler was totally taken over
by the demonic host by the early 1920's; in fact, Eckart regularly
held specialized rituals in which he and every other member of the Thule Society called for the Spirit
of Antichrist to enter him. When Hitler began his quest for power, he was assured of
success, even against the seemingly impossible odds facing him. While History records this success,
almost no historian comprehends Hitler because he does not understand, or even believe in, the power
of Satan.
Hitler captured the minds and imaginations of
a huge majority of Germans because he was demonically possessed. His power over
the people was unparalleled, and will remain unparalleled until the real
Antichrist arises. Therefore, we are going to begin a study of Adolf
Hitler as a type of the coming Antichrist. We are going to study what
Hitler thought, what he planned, and what he actually accomplished, because
Antichrist will do the very same things, only on a global scale. Remember
former Illuminist Satanist, Doc Marquis' words: "The Illuminati does
not do anything on a large scale without first trying it out on a limited scale
first". Satan did not intend Hitler to be the actual Antichrist; he intended him to be the guinea
pig first, to demonstrate that the plans for the New World Order would succeed once implemented.
Therefore, we can learn a lot about the actual Antichrist by studying the plans,
purposes, and actions which Hitler implemented in order to prepare Germany to enter into the New
World Order.
Of special interest to all Christians is the attitude Antichrist will display
toward the Bible, Jesus Christ, Christianity, and the Christian Church. We will study this subject in
this article.
HITLER'S ATTITUDES TOWARD
CHRISTIANITY
-
Christianity is a religion that defends the weak and the low
-
It is purely Jewish and oriental in origin
-
It forces people to bend their backs to the sound of church bells and crawl to the cross of a foreign god
-
It began 2000 years ago among sick, exhausted, and despairing men who had lost their belief in life
-
The Christian tenets of forgiveness of sin, resurrection, and salvation are plain nonsense
-
The Christian of mercy is a dangerous, un-German idea
-
Christian love is a silly concept because love paralyses men
-
The Christian idea of equality protects the racially inferior, the ill, the weak, and the crippled
Even the Liberal German "theologians" obediently and
enthusiastically supported the Messianic framework into which Adolf Hitler was
forcing himself. Notice this quote from a German theologian of the
day. "Now he stands
before us, he whom the voices of our poets and sages have summoned, the
liberator of the German genius. He has removed the blindfold from our eyes, and
through all political, economic, social and confessional covers has enabled us
to see and love again the one essential thing -- our unity of blood, our German
self, the HOMO GERMANVS." [Theologian Professor Adam's apotheosis of Adolf
Hitler]
In 1936, Hitler established
a new pagan church, which he termed as "Positive Christianity". Only Nazi approved ministers
and preachers were allowed to "minister" to this congregation. Listen to some of the tenants of
this church.
The National Reich Church demands an immediate
stop to the printing and sale of the Bible in Germany.
The National Reich Church will remove from the altars of all churches
the Bible, the cross and religious
objects.
On the altars there must be
nothing but My Struggle, [Mein Kampf] and to the left of this a sword.
Do to others as you are ordered!
Love only your neighbour who is like yourself!
What god has separated, let no person unite!
"..... Jesus was a cowardly Jewish lout who had certain
adventures during his years of indiscretion. He uprooted his disciples from
blood and soil, and, at the wedding at Cana, loutishly flared up at his own
mother. At the very end he insulted the majesty of death in an obscene manner
..." [Excerpt from an article in Sigrune
(1937), the Faith Movement's journal]
"... The crucifixion figures as
the first instance of Jewish ritual murder ..." [The crucifixion according to Julius Streicher's
Stormer] This unbelievable statement correctly portrays
the occult belief that the Jews killed Jesus Christ because they were
practicing a brand of the occult, an "evil, wicked" occultism.
Of course, the Roman Catholic Church has blamed the Jews for many centuries for
killing Jesus, thus sparking many instances of murderous campaigns against them,
resulting in several millions of Jewish deaths.]
"The Jewish Old testament as well as parts of the New testament are not suitable for the new
Germany." [Hatred for God's Word will be fully part of the Antichrist's
agenda.
"Christ was not Jewish but a Nordic
martyr put to death by the Jews, a warrior whose death rescued the world from
Jewish influence. [New Age lore has similarly re-identified Jesus Christ as Aryan.
Once they have "captured" Jesus for their side, they
can then turn against whomever they want to blame for his death. Thus, they can
justify the genocidal campaign against this targeted group. In the case of
Antichrist, he will immediately use this tactic against Fundamental Christians,
using it as a tool to begin our martyrdom. He will not immediately use
this argument against the Jews, because he will be busy convincing them he is
their Messiah, for the first 3 1/2 years of the Great
Tribulation.]
"Adolf Hitler is the new messiah sent to earth to save the world from the
Jews." [Antichrist will also present himself as the "New
Messiah" sent to earth to save the world. This is one of the most
striking parallels between Hitler and Antichrist, which is why we highlighted it
in red.]
"The swastika succeeds the
sword as the symbol of German Christianity." [Some New Age texts suggest
that the Antichrist will replace the Christian Cross with the old, pagan
Swastika. After all, the Swastika is merely a twisted
Cross!]
"German land, German blood, German soul, German art -- these are the
sacred assets of German Christians." [While the Antichrist will not
display this distinct German flavor, he will display all the occultism which the
Germany of Hitler's day exhibited, beginning with the old Nordic legends.
I find it very interesting that several Christmas Santa Clause shows were aired
this 1998 Christmas Season, emphasizing the old
Nordic legends. Hitler's Satanism was deeply based upon the old Nordic
legends].
"On the basis of Race And
Blood it is a fact that the person and life of Jesus Christ do
not fit the genius of the German man, that such central Christian doctrines as
original sin, redemption, reward and punishment hereafter are only absurd
oriental superstitions, and that Christian ethical principles and requirements
are woefully obsolete." [Hitler]
"The church must
recognise the primacy of the state, said the Minister
For Church Affairs. That ought not
to be difficult, as the state expressly represents Positive Christianity. The
will of our Father in heaven has been passed into our Blood; it works through
the nation. Everything which National Socialism is now doing for the community,
for the preservation of the nation, is the doing of the will of God. Our
neighbour is he who is indicated to us by Blood." Notice the
emphasis Hitler places upon the blood of the German people. This emphasis was
the basis of his persecution of Jews and anyone else not pure German. The
Antichrist will use similar jargon to justify killing everyone except for
European Whites and Chinese. All other races and peoples are targeted for
extinction in the Kingdom of the true
Antichrist.
"We have already gone far ahead in permeating the German youth with
the National Socialist philosophy of life. Whatever still functions of the
catholic youth movement is nothing more than various fractional groups which
will be absorbed in the course of time. The Hitler Youth Organisation is an
absorbent sponge which nothing can withstand. Furthermore, the development of
our teaching scheme in schools of all categories is
of such an anti Christian Jewish type
that the growing generation will be forewarned against the blackcoat
swindle." [Alfred Rosenberg, speaking in 1938 before the Reich Culture
Convention]. Of course, today, our youth are being properly conditioned
against the Christian and Jewish faith, also in public schools of all
types. Christian parents, beware! Your children are being filled
daily with subtle anti-Christian bias. You must remove your precious
children from public schools before their souls are so well trained they are
lost forever.
"The festal act of admission into Hitler Youth must supplant the
rite of confirmation!" [Hitler had in mind the Catholic Church here, but the goal
was to eliminate any religious doctrine or practice based in any way upon
Christianity, with pagan rites. Antichrist will do the same thing.
However, in the last two decades, we have seen a tremendous removal of God and
Jesus Christ from our society, from the public schools to public displays at
Christmas time].
"A typical neo-pagan wedding announcement
-- In the belief in the divine revelation of our
nation through Adolf Hitler, Werner Liefet and Selma Liefet, née Kunzer,
have today on the 9th Nebelung, 1935, concluded their union for life."
[Once again, we see that Hitler removed all vestiges of Christianity from German
weddings. He replaced them with pagan rites and vows, with himself as the
messiah to whom the couple and their resultant family will look for
guidance. This is pure Antichrist!] "Pagan marriage ceremony, presided over by a votive warden."
Once again, the Christian minister is replaced by a pagan
official.
"The betrothal takes place in the open under a lime tree.
The ceremony begins with the bridal pair's arrival.
- Songs by Mozart, recitation of poems by Hebbel and
Hölderlin.
- The votive warden's sermon revolves around passages from the
Edda:
Possessions pass away,
Relatives die,
You yourself die as they.
One thing I know
That lives forever:
The famous deeds of the dead."
- "After the bridal couple's exchange of rings, the votive warden
pronounces the blessing: Mother Earth, which lovingly bears us all,
and Father Sky, who blesses us with his light and his weather, and all the
beneficent powers of the air, may they rule over you until your destiny is
fulfilled." [Once again, we see the evidence of the pagan:
the Co-Rulership of the god and goddess are recognized, and once again, the
creature is worshipped rather than the Creator.]
- the ceremony concludes with a rendering of Johann Sebastian Bach's Wedding cantata by string quartet and solo soprano."
marriage in his kingdom.
However, these particular marriages were to men who were members of Hitler's SS
elite guard. Let us show you the paganism in these
marriages:
- "The betrothal takes place in oak-panelled room decorated with carved
runes of life, sunflowers (symbolic of the sun wheel), and fir
twigs.
- The bridal pair stands facing a short column crowned by a basin in which
an eternal flame is lit to symbolise the fire of the hearth.
- They then exchange rings, bread (symbolic of the soil's fruitfulness)
and salt (symbolic of the soil's purity).
- The husband gives his wife his dagger in token of her capability of
bearing arms, and receives another one from his superior officer in replacement."
Then, we see the final statement that sums up every marriage ceremony in Hitler's Germany. "Weddings are not to be mere civil ceremonies, but proper religious services of the new German Religion."
Let us now examine a brief description of a typical pagan German wedding: "The central point of the ceremonial was represented by the wedding table decorated by two conjoined runic figures: on the table lay a yellow sun disc made of flowers on a blue background; to left and right stood torchbearers and behind the table a bowl, containing fire, and the pulpit. The choir opened the ceremony with a chorus from Lohengrin. A representative of the new usage, S.S. Comrade Elling, gave the dedication address which was based upon the song from the Edda about Helgi and Sigrun. The choir chanted both before and after the address. Then the bridal pair were offered bread (representing the germinating force of earth) and salt (the symbol of purity) on silver vessels; finally the pair thus married according to German custom received the wedding rings."
You have never read a more pagan description of a wedding in your life, I bet, and yet this is typical of the type of weddings in the Kingdom of Antichrist. These weddings will be based upon sex, Mother Earth worship, Sun worship, and the fires typical of a Satanic ceremony.
THE ADORATION OF LIBERAL "CHRISTIANS' TO HITLER
- "We German Christians believe in our saviour Jesus Christ, in the power
of his cross, and in his resurrection. The life and death of Jesus teaches
us that the way of struggle is also the way of love and of
life.
God's creation has placed us in the community of blood and fate
of the German people, and as the bearers of this fate, we are responsible
for the nation's future.
Germany is our task, Christ is our
strength!
- The source and the confirmation of our faith is the divine revelation of
scriptures, and the witness borne by the fathers.
The New testament, to us, is the sacred document of
our lord, the saviour, and of his father's kingdom.
The Old testament, to us, is an example of god's
way of educating a people. In our faith it is of value to the extent that it
opens our eyes to an understanding of the life, the crucifixion, and the
resurrection of our saviour.
- As for any other nation, too, the eternal god created for our nation a
law that is peculiar to its own kind. It took shape in the leader Adolf Hitler, and in the National Socialist
state created by him.
This law speaks to us from the history of our
people, a history grown of blood and soil. It is loyalty to this law which
demands of us the battle for honour and freedom.
- The way to fulfil the German law is the faithful German congregation. In
it, Jesus, the lord, reigns in grace and forgiveness. In it burns the fire
of holy sacrifice. In it alone the saviour confronts the German people, and
gives it the strength of faith. From this community of German Christians
there shall grow a German Christian national church, embracing the entire people in the National Socialist state of
Adolf Hitler.
One people! One god! One Reich! One church!"
[Hitler Youth song at
the 1934 Nürnberg
rally]
God's creation has placed us in the community of blood and fate of the German people, and as the bearers of this fate, we are responsible for the nation's future.
Germany is our task, Christ is our strength!
The New testament, to us, is the sacred document of our lord, the saviour, and of his father's kingdom.
The Old testament, to us, is an example of god's way of educating a people. In our faith it is of value to the extent that it opens our eyes to an understanding of the life, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of our saviour.
This law speaks to us from the history of our people, a history grown of blood and soil. It is loyalty to this law which demands of us the battle for honour and freedom.
Thus, you can see how the German Liberal Christian had no difficulty modifying Christian belief and doctrines to support their belief in Adolf Hitler, their new Messiah. Folks, this is exactly what will happen to the Liberal Christians who have now departed from the faith and are now supporting neo-pagan organizations like the World Council of Churches. As these Liberal Christians gather round after Antichrist and his False Prophet come on the scene, they will sing, One people! One god! One Reich! One church!
Hitler truly was the prototype of the coming Antichrist. In this article, we have seen the pagan church he personally established, and can see that it is a type of the final Church of Antichrist. We have seen Hitler's attitude toward Christianity, and can be certain Antichrist will exhibit the same attitudes and beliefs when he arises.
One people! One god! One Reich! One church! In your Daily News, you can see the stage being set for this slogan being sung by the myriad millions of believers in Antichrist, the superman who was sent to earth to save mankind from himself. The new Messiah, for all time and for all peoples. Just watch the daily activities of the Liberal Protestant and the Roman Catholic Pope, and you will see the new church being established, now, in your Daily News!
When you hear the thronging crowd chant this slogan, you will know that the old occultic goal of publicly reestablishing Satanic worship has finally come to fruition. Listen to Alice Bailey, writing in her book, "Externalisation of the Hierarchy", a book she freely admits is demonic Automatic Writing.
"... the Christ and the Masters are occupied with the task of preparing for the restoration of the Mysteries. This restoration will fall into three phases ... the story of mankind will be pictorialised. These three phases correspond broadly and in a general sense to the three degress of the Blue Lodge in Masonry ... With the restoration of the Mysteries, Masonry will come into its own." [p. 574]
This ultimate plan, the "restoration of the Mysteries", refers to finally being able to publicly worship Satan in a public church, just as you would worship at a Christian or a Catholic Church today. Hitler "restored the Mysteries' religion" once he became Absolute Dictator, and that is exactly what Antichrist will do soon after he arises, complete with human sacrifice this time.
When he does, the Liberal, Apostate Churches can also take their bows of congratulations, because their support was crucial.
Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal
Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you
need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will
instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy
Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal
Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior,
but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age,
and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so
now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are
spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were
already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist
will not touch you spiritually.
If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our
Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate
and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order --
Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their
daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.
