The Real  Adolf Hitler 

     "He did not consider the Jews to be God's chosen people. Where did he get this demonic evil idea? What was the chief influence on Hitler and his views about Jewish people? 

     "His ideas came from the Thule Society, a supposedly lost island inhabited by an ancient race, masters of wisdom. They are considered superior, highly intelligent beings. 

Lighthouse Trails 

     "Hitler believed he was in contact with them and that they gave him power and energy. Through this mythical race, he believed he was destined to lead the Aryans to rule the world. Hitler's messianic vision was that Germany would unite the world under his leadership for 1,000 years. (It is Jesus who will unite the world for 1,000 years.)

     "While a young child, Hitler was initiated into the mysteries of the occult. He attended a Benedictine monastery school. The occult interests stayed with him all of his adult life and helped to shape his future spiritual philosophy. 

     "Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels were Catholic before they indulged in a new spiritual worldview. Occult books were some of Hitler's favorite readings. In the early 1920s he was introduced to The Secret Doctrine, which glorifies Lucifer. Hitler believed he had established communication with Lucifer. The myth of Aryan superiority was the basis for Hitler's Nazism and ethnic cleansing of the Jews.  

     "U.S. Army historians catalogued Hitler's personal library and found occultic volumes heavily annotated in Hitler's fancy handwriting. Thus, Hitler found his place in the grand scheme of these masters. 

     "Today, hatred continues among people who believe terrible lies about Jews. The writer says, lies can easily lead to antisemitism, which we believe is a satanically inspired viewpoint."

Lucifer (thrown from heaven) is Satan in our world.

Hitler certainly could have talked with Satan.

Satan Knows 

     "Satan hates and wants to destroy the Jews, partly because he knows God will use them in the culmination of the last days. The replacement view starts innocently, saying the Jews and Israel are no longer significant. Then the descent begins with statements that the Jews are not all moral people...to rumors that they (15 million people) control the world. From there it is a small step to outright antisemitism. 

LIGHTHOUSE TRAILS Research Journal

     "An occultist, Alice Bailey, wrote a book about 'Dark Forces' hindering her utopian new age world. She envisions one humanity and peace on earth. (Views: She doesn't mention China, Russia, North Korea, Iran etc.) Oneness, she sees as a loving and spiritually correct world view, global unity, world peace and a happy humanity.

     "Her Doctrine of Oneness is contrary to what God has ordained. There is separation between man and God. I am the Lord and my glory will I not give to another - Isaiah 42:8. New agers claim that there is no separation between good and bad, right and wrong, that even Hitler will be in Heaven. 

     "Truth. God is a God of separation: heaven or hell, sheep or goats, light or darkness. (we add true or false). God's most significant separation is the forming of a separate nation (the Jews). He made a covenant through whom our Savior Jesus came. Satan has been trying to destroy the Jews since their formation (in Genesis). 

     These views fed into the man who slaughtered six million of God's chosen people...and many thousands of others. Tomorrow >  

 

 Children of God

     You may be interested in commentary on Sunday's message - the new covenant and what it means. 

      Yes, people can and should read the Bible. True believers have God's law in their hearts. God's Spirit provides the power for humans to trust and obey, love God and other people. 

     In 2 Corinthians 3 verse 6, "the letter kills." Not the law or written Word of God. It is the demands of the law without the Spirit's life and power to fulfill God's will. With the Holy Spirit, the letter no longer kills. 

     The apostle Paul calls this "the ministry of the Spirit." The Father, Son and Spirit were there at the beginning. While the Son is found in many verses of the Old Testament, He came to life, Son of a virgin. The Holy Spirit also was active, but the shower of fire on 120 believers on Pentecost introduced Him to mankind. And He lives within the hearts of everyone who believes and trusts. All over the world.

     All the benefits in Christ come by the Spirit. He mediates Christ's presence and blessings. "Freedom" in the Bible means freedom from condemnation and slavery of sin and the dominion of Satan. We don't get baptized and return to our former ways. The Spirit enters into our "hearts," and we become children of God...if we truly follow up. 

     Freedom by Christ is not a ticket to cover up evil or justification for conflict. We can experience Christ's nearness. He wants us to be transformed into his likeness, but in this age the transformation is progressive and partial. When Christ returns, we will see him face to face, and our transformation will be complete. 

     1 John 3:2   Revelation 22:4 

     

Tablets of Stone 

   Tablets of Hearts

     "You show that you are a letter from Christ...written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God...not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 

                                     Paul - 2 Corinthians chapter 3 

     "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant...not of the letter but of the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 

     "Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 

     "We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face...while the radiance was fading away...for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 

     "Now, the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."  

                              We shall all appear before Christ

                        to give an account...whether good or bad.

AI wins. Do we lose? 

     This may be the first time ever. The very problem we're having is the problem other Americans are having. 

     Mrs. Donut is trying to cancel a motel stay. All she can reach are recordings. She is determined, but the recordings keep winning. Can't get a human. Can't cancel the credit card she used. 

     While she was frustrated on Thursday, her husband came across an article in The Epoch Times. Maybe you have seen this:

     "Over half internet traffic is from bots. It is hard for businesses to reach customers. The AI flood makes it necessary to find new strategies to connect. Advertising decisions are impossible. 30 to 40% of communications involve non-humans." 

     "A businessman says the flood of AI bots makes his website costs 'real world money.' He is 'wasting' $600 to $700 a month with nothing to show for it. A business owner's website is basically the salesperson."

     "For a small local business, the bot traffic makes it hard to tell what's actually working. A business owner said, 'Our website is where most of our new customers come from. I watch the numbers closely, and a chunk of that traffic is just bots crawling the site. Paying for advertising makes less and less sense when the audience is mostly automated." 

     Also, Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro issued an executive order to slow the growth of Ai data centers. 

     This country survived wars and other mischief, but AI will never go away. Think I'll see if "bot" is in the dictionary.

Okay. We searched the internet and found bots. Positives and negatives. 

Our Heavenly Home 

My wife had an intelligent sister who wouldn't believe. For 20 years she prayed for her. Then when no family members were expecting it, sister gave herself to Christ. Her husband, an electrical engineer, did likewise. He went somewhere over a weekend, without food, and prayed for God's will. He was to become a pastor. With lower income. He phoned his wife to tell her. She said, "I know. He told me."  

They are in heaven, and we have his Bible for morning devotions. He used a yellow marker - very unusual - to box in 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. Here is part of it:

     "Now we know that if the earthly tent we love is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. For while we are in this tent, we groan...because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling...

     "Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 

     "We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So, we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 

     "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

If strong willed adults can surrender to God, faith over income,  so can we. 

 The Sanctuary Movement

   Part 2 

     "Not only does the sanctuary movement incentivize illegal immigration, it also shields violent predators from justice. The author illustrated the deadly reality of sanctuary policies, complete with names of several victims and those who assaulted them by rape, murder, kidnap, assault, strangling, even dismemberment.  

     "Sanctuary policies create incentives for foreigners, including violent criminals, to enter the U.S. and hide behind a taxpayer-funded cloak of invisibility. This system corrupts the purpose of the original cities of refuge as described in the Bible. 

     "Those cities were intended to provide a balance between instant justice and mercy, by creating space between those responsible for death, possibly unintentional, and those left to suffer its consequences. They were never intended to give quarter to unrepentant lawbreakers.

     "Sanctuary policies erase our borders, erode our culture, annul federal laws designed to protect us, and lead directly to needless death. They are an abomination and no just nation should tolerate them."

PS. Yes, our southern border is closed. There are other ways to slip in, and the Biden millions are already here. 31 non-profits support illegal immigrants. Sanctuary types oppose ICE. How many immigrants are welcomed by employers who get them secretly on the cheap? How many children are hostages?
