As I toiled away to express my
views herein, I was overcome with a revelation of tremendous import.
You see, for some time now, I have been troubled with the feeling that
the so-called "right wing" Christian groups, most of whom characterize
themselves as "Evangelical" or "Born Again" Christians, have way too
much in common with the neo-Nazi movements in this country. Admittedly,
Hitler apparently based a great deal of his hatred for Jews on his
feelings that the Jews had manipulated the two main Christian groups in
Germany so as to distract the Christians from persecuting the Jews.38
But most of us who were raised in so-called "mainstream" Christianity
never had any real hatred for Jews, never embraced any part of Nazi
ideology, and basically thought that the alleged "rift" between
Christians and Jews had pretty much been patched up, if not sooner,
then at least by the time of the 1960's papal proclamation which
absolved the Jews of any alleged guilt for the death of Jesus.
Nevertheless, story after story has surfaced which reported various
activities and affiliations of a White Supremacist movement called
"Christian Identity" which is, in essence, a neo-Nazi group.
As the less radical right-wing
Christians become more radical and activist in their political
leanings, I began to wonder about the affiliation of Pat Robertson,
Ralph Reed, the so-called Christian Coalition and the Republican Party.
These people preach a good line, but just exactly where do they propose
to lead this country?
Then an evangelical group gave
me my "free" Jesus video, and I actually took the time to watch it.
Produced mostly from the Gospel according to Luke, the movie gives the
classic New Testament story of Jesus. The movie (and obviously, the
Bible upon which it was directly based) makes it crystal clear that
Jesus was for: 1) aid to the poor; 2) aid to the sick;
3) aid to the elderly; and 4) aid to the little children.
After contemplating the Jesus
video and the Republican political program together for a while, it all
of a sudden struck me: these right-wing Christian groups are supporting
a political movement which stands against all of the things which Jesus
himself was for; therefore, there is only one conclusion which may be
reached: at a minimum, at least the leaders of these groups MUST be under the influence of the Anti-Christ!
This was a truly startling
revelation! A modern political movement which claims to represent
Christians, but which is actually supporting a political agenda which
only the Anti-Christ could embrace!
Some people have made various
connections between Hitler and the Anti-Christ. Now, here is yet
another obvious connection between a right-wing political agenda and
the Anti-Christ. The appearance of neo-Nazi fringe groups is no mere
coincidence, then, because the common thread which connects all of
these individuals, groups, and all of the various related organizations
which they sponsor is a political agenda which only the Anti-Christ
could love!
It is now possible to see the
anti-abortion demonstrators as only the leading edge of a wave of
Nazi-like "storm troopers" who will eventually rush in to suppress all
who might dare to dissent from the "party line" of the Anti-Christ.
From Spengler, we know that the "Second Religiousness" movement will be
associated with an "imperium of gradually increasing crudity of
despotism." It is now obvious to me, as it could never have been to
Spengler, that the so-called "Born-Again Christians" are the group
which qualifies as the "Second Religiousness" movement which Spengler
predicted. Thus, it should be no surprise at all to find that very
movement associated with gangs of Nazi-like "storm troopers" who vow to
instill their version of "political correctness" in all who would dare
to proclaim a dissident viewpoint.
This was a true revelation
from God, so far as I am concerned. I do hope that this revelation
becomes as inspiring to you as it is to me.
