Hitler used Christian patriotism
by Mike Cooper | Apr 27, 2023
Hitler gained power because the people and the church were deceived and focused on their nation before God’s will.
Hitler became a tyrannical dictator because the church remained silent knowing they were deceived and had too much pride to admit it and repent. They allowed him to replace the cross with the swastika and dictate what could be preached.
As a Christian, if your focus is that you must save your nation in order for God to save the world, you will fail miserably. Your nation will follow in the footsteps of Germany in the 1930s up until the end of WWII.
If you focus on how God already saved the world through His son Jesus Christ and focus on His commands as Lord of lords, God will show us favour and deal with our enemies for us. We have victory in God.
But if we fall for the charismatic leader promising peace and prosperity, we will once again repeat history. We will see an antichrist rise to power and do much of what is against Christ.
Something to consider as we’re getting ready for the 2024 election in the country that the world watches. The same country that’s ground zero for civil conflict in the West.
God before country.
God wins. Not patriotism dressed like God.
