Does history really repeat itself?
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
“If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.”
George Bernard Shaw
Germany, under Nazi control, began the systematic slaughter of Jews. Those who were not murdered, lived as slaves for the German war machine, execution just around the corner.
When the West finally stopped the Holocaust four years later with the liberation of 32,000 Jewish survivors at Dachau Concentration Camp in 1945 by U.S. troops, six million-plus Jews were dead as well as many homosexuals, gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses and mentally/health impaired. Some researchers believe the death toll to be nearer 10,000,000.
According to Eberhard Jäckel, a German historian at the time:
"The murder of the European Jews in the Second World War was unique. Never before did a state decide to kill a specific group of humans-including old people, women, and children-without any reservation or examination of the individual case, and enact this murder with the means of State power."
He further explains:
"He had to annihilate the Jews, thus restoring the meaning of history, and with it thus restored, nature-intended struggle for existence, he at the same time had to conquer new living space for the German people. Each of these tasks was inextricably linked to the other. Unless the Jews were annihilated there would very soon no longer be any struggle for living space, nor therefore any culture and consequently nations would die out; not just the German nation, but ultimately all nations. But if, on the other hand, the German people failed to conquer new living space, it would die out because of that and the Jews would triumph".
Why did it take four years and ten million murders for the West to take decisive action to stop the systematic murder of two-thirds of Europe’s Jews? The term Genocide had not even been coined at that time and originated because of the horrors of the Holocaust.
We have had other genocides, though the world seems complacent to label them as such.
There was the systematic murder of the Armenian Christians by the Islamic Ottoman Empire (Turkey). From 1915 to the early 1920s, nearly 2,000,000 Christians from Armenia were massacred; and most remaining were deported from the land.
Though most historians today and those with common sense now refer to this slaughter as a genocide, the Turkish government does not. And no one in Turkey dares refer to it as what it is: genocide. They too might lose their head. The Turkish apparently do not consider the intentional murder and disposal of 2,000,000 Christians worthy of genocidal behavior. Wonder how many they would’ve had to murder for the slaughter to meet the criteria.
So what is Genocide?
According to history.com, genocide is the murder of a group because of their “national, ethnical, racial or religious profile” with the intent to destroy the entire group. Of course, this is exactly what happened during the Armenian Christian genocide.
During the Clinton administration, the Rwanda Genocide occurred. During the three months from April to July, 1994, the Hutus murdered nearly 900,000 Tutsis. Why? Because they were Tutsis. Of the Rwandan population, Hutus made up 85%.
What about the slaughter of Christians today because they are Christians, or the slaughter of Shi’a Muslims because they aren’t Sunni Muslims? How many of these groups have to be killed before the world will call a spade a spade?
March 14, 2016 CNN reported:
Washington (CNN)The House of Representatives on Monday unanimously passed a resolution labeling the ISIS atrocities against Christian groups in Syria and Iraq "genocide," a term the State Department has been reluctant to use about the attacks and mass murders by the terror group…
Under a deadline set by Congress, the State Department has until March 17 to formally decide whether it will issue a comprehensive genocide designation, but it is expected to miss the deadline.
Is another, much larger genocide in store for Christians and Jews? Is the world’s population becoming more anti-Christian and anti-Semitic? It was predicted by Jesus.
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.”
“In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted…”
A report from a 2016 publication from the Knights of Columbus, 280 pages, outlines an undeniable plan: ISIS intends to wipe Christianity from the face of the earth. Actually, the plan includes all religious groups except ISIS, because they think they are chosen. They are correct, but they have been chosen by the other side. They are the personification of Satanism.
During the Apostle John’s vision in Revelation, he saw a lot of people in heaven standing around, dressed in white robes, from every nation and tribe in the world. One of the elders in the vision asked John who all these people were, then answered his own question:
They were the people killed during the time of tribulation, those who were beheaded simply because they would not reject Jesus and embrace the religion of the one called anti-Christ. My guess is Muhammad. Every day it becomes clearer as to who the beast of Revelation will be:
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
For the thousands of Christians being murdered in the Middle East Islamic lands, it is the tribulation for them. I have no doubt where they ended up.
The increase in recent anti-Semitism is hard to miss:
“Our country, like Europe as a whole and almost all Western democracies, is facing a resurgence of anti-Semitism not seen since the Second World War.”
French President Emmanuel Macron (2019)
Dinner Meeting with the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions Louis Farrakhan, the darling of the left, lost his twitter account in May, 2018, because of anti-Semitic slurs:
“In May, Farrakhan lost his Twitter account status after ranting about ‘satanic Jews’ during a three-hour speech. Despite all this and Farrakhan’s screaming ‘Death to America’ during a visit to Iran, he received a seat of honor in August at the funeral of Aretha Franklin, near former President Bill Clinton. The vile Farrakhan continues to draw accolades from the founders of the Women’s March on Washington, many elected officials and members of the entertainment community.”
While preachers all around the world, including the Pope, claim that the god of Islam is the God of Abraham, it’s not. The God of Jews and Christians love the Jews and mankind as a whole. The god of Islam despises the Jews and Christians and proclaims that the world takeover by Islam will take care of the problem. Like Hitler took care of his problem.
Eyes wide open.
