The Coming Greatest Deception in the History of the World; Hitler 2.0 Part 2

 

In part 1 of this post, we ended with the following. 

“So, what political figure will be Hitler 2.0—the antichrist—and will the church in large embrace him as they did with the first Hitler, and if so, what are the implications? 

Let’s reiterate some key facts about the first Hitler that may shed some light on the answers to those questions. 

Hitler 1.0 

He used religion as a cover to deceive the masses and the church. 

He promoted a heretical sect of Christianity—positive Christianity—and integrated its beliefs into politics. BTW, positive Christianity used an altered Bible. 

Elimination of the Jews in Nazi Germany was not confined to the Holocaust. It also took the form of rewriting the New Testament to ‘dejudaize’ it, i.e. to remove references to Judaism and to recast Jesus as an Aryan, generating what has been called the ‘Nazi Bible’. https://creation.com/hitler-bible 

He persecuted and killed several groups of people for being opposed to the state religion and political ideologies.” 

Keep those data points in mind as we proceed. Now, let me introduce you to a politically connected sect of Christianity called the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). 

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a theological belief and movement that combines elements of Pentecostalism, evangelicalism and the Seven Mountain Mandate to advocate for spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society, and end or weaken the separation of church and state. NAR leaders often call themselves apostles and prophets. Long a fringe movement of the American Christian right, it has been characterized as "one of the most important shifts in Christianity in modern times." The NAR's prominence and power have increased since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as US president. Theology professor André Gagné, author of a 2024 book on the movement, has characterized it as "inherently political" and said it threatens to "subvert democracy." American Republican politicians such as Mike Johnson, Doug Mastriano, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert, and activists such as Charlie Kirk have aligned with it. 

As the fastest growing group "within or on the periphery of American Christianity" since the 1980s, the New Apostolic Reformation has rapidly gained religious and political influence in the United States. In 2015, it was estimated that churches openly part of the NAR were attended by 3,000,000 Americans; some estimates as of 2020 claim an "[influence on] approximately thirty-three million adherents in the United States", though this number is disputed. 

The movement is global, growing in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, with it constituting a significant part of church growth in the southern hemisphere. 

This leadership sees itself as having the divine authority and spiritual power – used in spiritual warfare – to "advance God's earthly kingdom so that Christ can return." Made up of networks of apostles and prophets and networks of churches, Wagner saw the movement as the "most radical change in how churches operate since the Protestant Reformation." These "relational networks", as opposed to a church bureaucratic system, were part of the previous Latter Rain movement. Biola University theology professor R. Douglas Geivett and writer Holly Pivec, who have written three books on the movement, described the movement's promises in God's Super-Apostles: Encountering the Worldwide Prophets and Apostles Movement: 

“If you submit to their leadership, then you too will work mighty miracles. You'll become part of a great end-time army that will bring about a world revival and cleanse the earth of evil by calling down hailstones, fire and the other judgments of God described in the New Testament book of Revelation. 

Those in opposition, seen to include much of the US federal government and the Democratic Party, are viewed as being subject to demonic forces.” 

Hmm…so, they are inherently political and if you do not go along with their agenda, you are demonic?! And let’s consider their 7 Mountain Mandate. 

The Seven Mountain Mandate (7M) – argued to hold "revelation status" in the NAR – is another aspect of NAR belief, which states that Christians should take over multiple aspects ("mountains") of society: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government. 

Prominent NAR believer Lance Wallnau, who has asserted Donald Trump was "anointed" to be president, has promoted 7M combined with spiritual warfare against perceived demonic spirits. Wallnau told followers in 2011: 

If you're talking to a secular audience you don't talk about having dominion over them. This whole idea of taking over and that language of takeover, it doesn't actually help. It's good for preaching to the choir and it's shorthand if we interpret it right, but it's very bad for media." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Apostolic_Reformation 

Now where have I heard about 7 mountains before? 

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. 

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Rev 17 

Is there a prophetic connection between the 7 mountains of Rev 19 and the 7 mountains of the NAR or is it just happenstance? 

Regardless of the answer to that question, at the very least, it is easy to see that the NAR is a sect of Christianity, is politically connected, and considers those who disagree to be demonic/evil. 

Do they have their own altered Bible like Hitler’s positive Christianity did? Yes, they do. 

Brian Simmons is a NAR apostle and the author of The Passion Translation, which he asserts Jesus Christ personally commissioned him to translate from the New Testament and the Hebrew Bible into new scripture in 2009. He added that he had been transported to meet Jesus in an immense library in heaven. Pivec, who has co-authored three books on the NAR, writes that the translation has been endorsed by several NAR leaders, and many in the movement use it as their primary Bible. She adds that Simmons is the sole author of the translation and he has not disclosed the editors and scholars he says have reviewed his work. Pivec and her co-author, Geivett, assert the translation contains "completely reworded verses, making it appear that the Bible supports NAR teachings. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Apostolic_Reformation 

And what is the goal of the NAR? 

…the NAR holds that most such prophecies have been fulfilled in the early church, with prophecies from the movement's prophets gaining importance in its understanding of the end times. It believes that the end times will be an "optimistic" period of the Kingdom of God being established on earth through the actions of obedient Christians, leading to the Second Coming. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Apostolic_Reformation 

So, based on their version of the Bible the NAR wants to subdue the world and establish a religious kingdom so that the Second Coming can occur. Didn’t Hitler go forth trying to subdue nations using positive Christianity and its altered Bible as his justification?  Yes, he did. 

Do you see any similarities between the NAR and Hitler’s positive Christianity? Let’s see.

 

Those are some interesting correlations. And at present who is the NAR’s chosen political “savior of the world?” 

‘Prophecy voters’ forming core of Trump’s evangelical base 

Much of Donald Trump’s evangelical base of support comes not from “value voters” or nostalgic “white Christian nationalists” as much as “prophecy voters,” those charismatics who see the president as an anointed leader who will have a part in bringing God’s kingdom to earth. This group is likely to continue to influence and reshape the Christian right during the 2020 elections and beyond, writes Damon Berry in Nova Religio (May 11), a journal on new religious movements. The belief that Trump is anointed by God has become more prominent among American Protestants since his election in 2016. Writing in the Religion in Public blog (May 11), political scientists Paul Djupe and Ryan Burge note that belief in Trump as anointed by God grew from 29 percent in 2019 to a remarkable 49 percent by late March of 2020 among regularly church attending white Protestants (and increasing among all Protestants). Djupe and Burge argue that church leaders and clergy have driven up the religious significance of Trump, but Berry’s article pinpoints the source of such beliefs directly to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement. The New Apostolic Reformation movement consists of networks of charismatic churches and leaders who teach that New Testament apostolic and prophetic ministry and leadership is still operative and that believers are called to establish God’s dominion on earth. Pioneered by the teaching of the late Fuller Seminary professor C. Peter Wagner, the NAR is based in networks of leaders, megachurches, and prayer ministries, such as POTUS Shield, Bethel Church in California, Paula White (Trump’s key spiritual advisor), and Lance Wallnau [though not all NAR leaders are ardent Trump backers]. 

Several NAR leaders claim that God chose Trump as a vehicle to destroy leftist influence in the U.S. and allow for the restoration of Christian society. Source: https://www.religionwatch.com/prophecy-voters-forming-core-of-trumps-evangelical-base/ 

Their chosen “anointed” leader, political savior of the world, is Donald Trump. 

Will the “end times be an "optimistic" period of the Kingdom of God being established on earth through the actions of obedient Christians, leading to the Second Coming” as they claim? 

Is Trump “an anointed leader who will have a part in bringing God’s kingdom to earth” as they claim? 

I answer, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Read your Bible. Christ does not return to a world that has defeated the devil and has been conquered for Christianity. He comes to a world that has been taken over by the devil and the antichrist and a world in which Jews and Christians are being persecuted and killed! 

Here is how Stan put it in a comment on a recent post. 

William...The New Apostolic Reformation is behind all this ...We are going to make America great again. Sodom and Gomorrah are not going to be made great again. 

They actually preach that the Army of God Christians are going to defeat satan in the USA, then we Christians are going to defeat satan worldwide....then Christ comes back. I would have to rip out of my Bible Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Micah, Revelation...I don't believe many people read their bibles in depth at all....but instead parrot what their pastor tickles their ears with. 

It's going to be some serious tribulation very soon. 

If you cannot see from the Bible that there will be no restoration of the kingdom of God before Christ returns, you are spiritually blind. I do not care how many people say God told them otherwise. The Bible—God’s Word—our only authority, says differently. Thus, these people who are saying “God told them…” must be hearing from deceiving spirits—demons. 

Now let’s turn our attention back to Hitler 2.0. Will Hitler 2.0 be a political leader in alignment with the NAR? We know that Hitler 2.0—the antichrist—will persecute and or kill those who do not conform to his agenda. Since those who do not conform to the beliefs of the NAR are considered satanic, if Hitler 2.0 is their anointed leader, will the NAR support Hitler 2.0’s agenda of persecuting and killing those who do not conform? Will that include some Christians who do not go along with their agenda? 

The answers to those questions are yet to be seen, but I dare say that if many Christians were deceived by Hitler 1.0, they can be deceived by Hitler 2.0. And let’s refresh our memory on how Hitler gained so much power and influence. 

Hitler was the leader that raised Germany out of the depression and brought them back to a world recognized power.  Due to his annulment of the financial woes of the Germanic people he became their redeemer and they anointed him as the leader of the German Reich Christian Church in 1933.  This placed him in power of the German Christian Socialist movement which legislates their political and religious agendas. It united all denominations, mainly the Protestant/Catholic and Lutheran people to instill faith in a national Christianity. Source: https://www.evilbible.com/evil-bible-home-page/hitler-was-a-christian/ 

He brought financial prosperity which gave him great power and influence, which in turn then fostered his ability to deceive the masses. Will Hitler 2.0 do the same? 

Christians beware and consider this quote about Christians being deceived by Hitler in Germany. 

What does that mean for us today? It means that we need to remember that political propaganda can infect the minds of even sincere Christians and distort their priorities. Even more, it means that we must remember that political issues are under the authority of the One to whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been committed and we need to look to Him for wisdom.Source: Evangelicals for Adolf: Christians in Hitler’s Germany 

Here is a famous quote to keep in mind; “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905. 

Hitler 2.0 is coming, that is a fact. Will history repeat itself, will he be supported by the NAR?

BTW, if Armageddon is in 2028, implying the midpoint will be in the spring of 2025, then Hitler 2.0 is near to coming on the scene. If it is not 2028, then we have more time.

Note: I am not claiming that Trump is the antichrist, I do not know who the antichrist is. I believe we will not know who the antichrist is until we see the prophecies fulfilled.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Christianity vs Nominal Christianity: People Need to Know the Difference

  

Over the years Christianity has gotten a lot of bad publicity because of the actions of people who claim to be Christians but are not—they are only nominal Christians. As a result many in the world want nothing to do with Christianity and thus reject their only hope of salvation and being able to be forgiven of their sins and one day being able to enter into heaven. 

Let’s discuss this. First off what is a nominal Christian? 

Definition: a Christian nominalist is one who claims the name Christian, but who has no authentic, personal, sin-forgiving and life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. His allegiance to Jesus is in name, not heart. 

By this definition the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians in the world today are nominal Christians—they have no authentic, personal, sin-forgiving and life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. I would estimate it to be 90% or more of all who claim to be Christians are just nominal Christians. 

They sometimes go to church, pray, give a little money but inside they are basically just like everybody else in the world. If you examined their life, you could not see anything different about them than the average person in the world. I know many nominal Christians—they drink, smoke, cuss, gamble, cheat, etc. They are no different than anybody else. 

I know by personal experience what a nominal Christian is, I grew up a nominal Christian, it was not until I was twenty years old that I was exposed to the true gospel and received the Lord Jesus Christ into my life and entered into a life-changing relationship with Him. 

Over the years it is the nominal Christians that have given Christianity a bad name. One action of nominal Christians that I have heard people bring up over the years is the Crusades.

 

The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of holy sites considered sacred by both groups. In all, eight major Crusade expeditions—varying in size, strength and degree of success—occurred between 1096 and 1291. 

…the Crusaders were regarded as immoral, bloody and savage. The ruthless and widespread massacre of Muslims, Jews and other non-Christians resulted in bitter resentment that persisted for many years. 

Deaths from the Crusades have been estimated from 1 to 9 million. This was an absolutely horrible occurrence that has blighted Christianity for centuries even to this day. This should have never happened; true born-again Christians would not have done this. These were the actions of nominal Christians—fake Christians—controlled by satan.

And unfortunately, it is events like these that have given Christianity a bad name over the years. Which satan has used to deceive and drive people away from true Christianity and a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

I implore all who are reading this to not be deceived by the actions of nominal—fake—Christians. Look to the Lord Jesus Christ—the true God and creator of the world—for your salvation. 

And what does God tell us about salvation? There are 4 things we must know and accept to be able to go to heaven when we die.

1. We are sinners.

As the Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). 

Sin is falling short of God’s perfection. Everyone has sinned many times in life. We have all lied, or stolen, or cheated, or done something wrong at some time in our lives. 

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10). 

We are all sinners.

2. We deserve Hell.

Realize that there is a punishment for being a sinner, and that punishment is death. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). 

Not only a physical death, but also a spiritual death. The place of spiritual death is called Hell. 

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).

There is probably no person alive who can say that they never told a lie. We have all sinned and we all deserve the punishment of Hell for our sin.

3.  Jesus loves us and died for our sins.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). 

Jesus willingly went to the cross, shed His blood, and died for our sins. He paid the price for our sins. He suffered the punishment that we deserve. When He was on the cross, Jesus suffered Hell for us. Hell is a place of total separation from God. When Jesus was on the cross, God the Father separated Himself from God the Son. That is why Jesus cried out “with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

Jesus was experiencing separation from God the Father. He was suffering the Hell that we deserve. He was paying for our sins.

4.  We must receive Christ by faith through prayer.

In order to receive the forgiveness of our sins, it is not enough to know that we are sinners, that we deserve Hell, and that Christ died for our sins, but we must receive Christ by faith.

 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9). 

Notice that verse tells us that we cannot earn our way to heaven. We obtain salvation through faith, not by works. Faith basically means to place your trust in something or someone. If you are sitting down while reading this, you are placing your faith or trust in the chair that you are sitting upon. Faith requires more than just an intellectual belief; it involves an action of your will. 

For example, if there were a pond covered with ice, and there were people standing around saying that the ice could hold them up, but they were not willing to walk on the ice, then they would only be demonstrating an intellectual belief and not demonstrating faith. However, if they stepped out onto the ice, then they would be demonstrating faith.

 

Placing our faith in Christ

One can place their faith in Jesus Christ by simply calling out to Him in prayer, for the Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I expressed faith in Jesus Christ by sincerely praying a prayer like this:

 

“Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I deserve Hell. Thank you for dying for my sins. Save me. Come into my life. Make me the kind of person that you want me to be. I thank you that you have and that you will take me to heaven when I die. Amen.”

 

If you sincerely pray that prayer to God with all your heart, then the Lord Jesus will come into your life and forgive your sins and save you from an eternity of Hell. And if you were to die tomorrow, you would go to heaven. Not because you are good enough to get there, but because you have received the payment of your sins. It is that simple as the following verses tell us. 

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:11-13) 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24)

Jesus loves you and wants to save you, call out to the Lord and be saved today.
