Hitler was a man who lived in a time no one likes to talk about.  It is associated with the worst darkness and evil that average people can hardly believe happened—but it did.  One of the greatest evils of that period of history was the Holocaust where over 6 million Jews from across Europe were shot, poisoned, murdered in gas chambers, their bodies then burned.  An evil man and an evil ideology led a country into the most unbelievable atrocities of evil and darkness known to mankind. And to think it was only one generation ago to a very intelligent Christian nation in Europe. 

I have been observing things unfold in our country over the last few years.  We have things going on in our democratic Canada that are hard to believe is happening.  Our children are being taught sexual and gender perversion in our schools, even in rural farm town Saskatchewan.  We are continually being lied to or greatly deceived by our media on important issues.  I used to think people who claimed these things were conspiracy minded, out of balance individuals and I avoided them.   However, I came to the place where I had to at least give such claims a fair hearing on things like “fake news” and found there is much truth about them.  I have concluded that we are sliding quickly into a very dark time in our country—but it is bigger than just Canada. It is being accomplished much the same way Hitler did it.  He did it with a very powerful, carefully manipulated propaganda program.  Now, I am going to give you a spiritual dimension to Hitler.  He was as demonic an individual as they come.  I believe he was a type or example of the evil and false Christ Messiah who will come in the end of our age that the Bible warns about.  

The one and only thing that deters evil is truth and we do not have enough of it circulating to make a difference yet.  The best source of truth is the Bible and you must seek for it to find it.  There was a time in our history where the Bible was important in our schools, businesses and even in our justice system. There is a horrible time predicted coming on our world referred to as the “day of the Lord”.  Preceding that time will be great deception. 

The following Bible verses are from the Amplified Version. 2 Thessalonians 2:3: Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first—that is, unless the [predicted] great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come—and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition) See also 1 Timothy 4:1; Daniel 7:25; 8:25. 

2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or that is worshiped, [even to his actually] taking his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. See also Daniel 11:36, 37; Ezekiel 28:2. 

The book of Daniel in the Old Testament foretells of this evil individual who will surface and lead the world in the end of our age: Daniel 8:23: And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors [the apostate Jews] have reached the fullness [of their wickedness, taxing the limits of God’s mercy], a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark trickery and craftiness shall stand up. Daniel 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall corrupt and destroy astonishingly and shall prosper and do his own pleasure, and he shall corrupt and destroy the mighty men and the holy people (the people of the saints). See also Daniel 8:9-12; II Thessalonians. 2:3-10; Revelation 13:4-10. 

Daniel 8:25:  And through his policy he shall cause trickery to prosper in his hand; he shall magnify himself in his heart and mind, and in their security he will corrupt and destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken and that by no [human] hand.  See also Revelation 19:19, 20. 

The Prince of princes referenced in verse 25 is Jesus Christ. If you want some Bible reading read Revelation chapter 19 and you will see how the story ends. The Prince of Princes brings everything to a climactic end where he is victorious over evil.  

Hitler showed us how the devil works.  Remember, Hitler did this to Germany, a nation of very intelligent, hard-working people but they were desperate and desperate times often call for desperate actions.  Good people are tempted to follow questionable leaders and do almost anything when things are desperate as long as they are promised better days ahead.  Remember too, that Germany was a democracy when Hitler came on the scene promising a brighter future. It was not long, however, when Hitler became a dictator through brainwashing a generation of youth and manipulating a police force to do his bidding.  It was also accomplished through a carefully planned and implemented propaganda program.  

The Nazis were skilled propagandists who used sophisticated advertising techniques and the most current technology of the time to spread their message.  This is what I believe is going on today in a similar fashion.   

Once in power, Adolf Hitler created a ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to shape German public opinion and behaviour. We have in our country right now a bill that our government is trying to push through parliament called bill C-11 that will basically give the government power over internet censorship.  They already have power over all TV and radio censorship.  

Nazi propaganda played an integral role in advancing the persecution and ultimately the destruction of two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population.  This propaganda incited hatred and fostered a climate of indifference toward Jews and their fate.  Today in our country we see the promotion of critical race ideology, gender ideology and anything else that causes division and chaos.  Such progaganda worked prior to World War 2 to advance national goals and it is working today around the world.  Hitler used his propaganda ministry to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theatre, films, books and literature, educational materials and, most importantly, the press.  Hitler had a plan for global control, an agenda of creating an ideal Arian Race of people who were going to rule the world for 1000 years.  He created from the female branch of the German youth his League of German Girls.  Some were graded for breeding and birthing Arian race children like cattle would be bred.  The devil, Satan, has always had an agenda to destroy the traditional family.  Hitler followed the devil’s program as the Nazi movement was designed to destroy the family. Satan especially wanted to destroy the Jews because it was a nation God established and to whom he made promises for their future.  

The family unit is an institution established by God.  Sadly, in our country today, we see much destruction to the traditional family. Satan does everything possible to destroy anything good and replace it with twisted evil, like destroying marriage between a man and a woman.  God created marriage and Satan attempts to destroy it with twisted, perverted alternatives, using propaganda to achieve his ends over the population.  Anyone who refuses or rejects it is punished severely.  

The biggest reason Hitler was able to achieve his agenda was because the German people let him.  When they realized it was an agenda of evil it was too late to stop.  This is one important part of history that we need to learn what can happen to a democracy.
