Is History Repeating Itself?

by Rev. Daniel M. True

In Europe, following World War I, Germany strived to recover from that devastation and return things to “normal”. Taking advantage of the condition of the country and their desire to have/follow a leader who could return them to a viable national status, the charismatic Adolf Hitler (a foreigner, from Austria) and his “gang” cleverly devised a plan to take over the leadership of that Nation.

The process was quite involved and took a number of years to effect. The purpose of this writing is not to document that process but just to state that it was done.

The plan had several stages that appear familiar today! One of the things done was to close all the churches or at least make then powerless and silent. Then, they removed all books that they felt were detrimental to their program and replaced those books with “approved” (however not factual) volumes.

Then they worked through the children, forming the “Hitler Youth”. They molded and brainwashed the kids to become totally submissive and loyal to Hitler and his movement. From there they took over the government by formulating lies and deceitful promises, to get elected into higher office. It was easy once there to gain full control and “authority” of ALL the government.

For the 10 or so years that it took for Hitler to get his plan completed, it needs to be pointed out that it took only 17 MEN to take over the whole German nation of approximately 24 million people!! Yes, they were clever and followed their plan but they did get it done.

Now we have a situation in this Country that seems very reminiscent of what happened in Germany. We have charismatic leadership, and politicians who are trying to change or repeal laws that grant us certain rights and liberties.

There is a bill “in work” that will bar churches and ministers from preaching against things that “they” are permitting and condoning, even though the Bible, the book upon which we lean for guidance, calls those same things as sin before God. And, they are replacing the textbooks in our schools with subject matter that align with their philosophy yet banish historical articles that promote loyalty, liberty, freedom, decency and proper governmental ideals.

Worse yet, we see videos of children singing praises of our charismatic leader, not our Nation, but what he has or will accomplish. And musicians, actors and “public figures” are being used to promote the “agenda”.  And, they are trying to take our guns (or ammo) away from us.

The (24 million) people in Germany just stood by and let Messiah Hitler and his 17 friends do whatever they wanted, that resulted in the deaths of over 65 million people before and during WW2.

Oh, by the way, Hitler professed to be a Christian and that he was doing God’s will. The belt buckle that many German soldiers wore had the slogan “Gott mit uns” (God with us).

Do we do likewise, just stand by and watch it happen here, or do we continue to have “Tea Parties?”
