June 6,
2024 was the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, which was the World War II Allied
invasion of France to liberate German-occupied countries from Nazi Germany's
demonic grip. As Allied troops moved across Europe, they discovered the grisly
evidence of Nazi Germany's Holocaust against European Jews. The war in Europe
continued until Adolph Hitler's suicide in his Berlin bunker and Germany's
surrender on May 8, 1945. Nazi Germany's short reign from 1933-1945, and
Hitler's suicide from a fatal head wound made him a strong candidate as the
first coming of the Antichrist.
As Jesus Christ had His First Coming, so did Satan's Antichrist have his first
coming. Genuine Christians, who endured the Nazi-occupation, were not spared from Hitler's wrath nor will future Christians be exempt from Antichrist's
wrath. Mercifully, the Body of Christ is saved from God's wrath. (I Thessalonians
5:9) During Hitler's short reign, his demonic followers murdered six-million
Jews, and neutralized most Anti-Nazi resistance, including many God-fearing
Christians. Hitler's failed goal of a demonic one-thousand year Reich was the
antithesis of God's future "Satanic-free" Thousand Year Period.
(Revelation 20:3)
When Nazi
Germany's reign commenced, Hitler appointed Dr. Joseph Goebbels as his
Propaganda Minister. Similarly to what the future false prophet will do, Dr.
Goebbels mesmerized Germans with his propaganda skills, and they wholeheartedly
followed Hitler. Many German churches, businesses, and homes displayed Hitler's
portraits to express devotion to their Fuehrer. Subsequently, Antichrist's
false prophet will force Earth's inhabitants to setup an image of the
Antichrist. (Revelation 13:14) In contrast to the Hitler portraits from the
1930's, the images of the Antichrist will speak and cause those who refuse to
worship the image to be killed. (Revelation 13:15)
Hitler's
Satanically-inspired Final Solution against the Jewish people was completely
operational by 1942. Mass deportation of Jews to Nazi concentration camps like
Auschwitz nearly wiped out the European Jewish population. After an arduous
journey by train, most Jews were immediately executed by gas. Jews taken to
Auschwitz, who were not quickly executed were given a tattoo with a serial
number placed on the left forearm. In contrast to the Auschwitz tattoo, the Mark of the Beast will most likely be
a tattoo on the right hand or on the forehead. (Revelation 13:16-17)
Consequently, with the global use of tattoos and ubiquitous tattoo shops, along
with government financial vouchers, whole populations will be quickly
marked-up. These marks will show identification with the Antichrist, and do not
necessarily have to be vaccines, implanted microchips nor replace paper currency, coins,
checks, credit/debit cards, precious metals, digital or crypto-currencies, and other
mediums of exchange.
The
Antichrist's second coming precedes the Second Coming of Christ. So, who is the
Antichrist? We cannot be dogmatic as to the Antichrist's identity at this time.
Perhaps the Antichrist is already on the scene. Some well-meaning Christian
leaders teach that the Antichrist might be a Muslim and his false prophet is
probably Jewish. There is no scriptural support that substantiates an Islamic
Antichrist nor a Jewish false prophet. History proved that a prototype
Antichrist ruled Nazi Germany and failed. The second Antichrist will not fail
until God begins His Day of Lord wrath on the Antichrist's demonic kingdom.
