Having returned from Munich in Germany recently, it was fascinating to see how a sequence of unchallenged events created an environment that had someone like Adolf Hitler welcomed into power.
In the late nineteenth century King Ludwig II, was declared insane and then, according to suspicion, assassinated. Ludwig’s death allowed the establishment of an office of power known as the ‘Kaiser’. The Kaiser’s of course were the kingpins in Germany’s expanse into Europe in the early 20th Century. They also led Germany into World War I.
The defeat of Germany led to a set of war reparations that crippled the nation, financially. This led to the environment that made someone like Adolf Hitler and the Nazis a welcome option; to make all the problems “go away”… but at the price of democracy and the individual in society.
There was also a lot of occult activity in Munich, in the 1920’s and on through World War II.
Riots seem to happen a lot in Greece lately. (Reminded also of Paul in Ephesus) There is great trouble brewing there, at the moment of writing this.
A little known fact is that in the capital, Athens, during September 2008, dozens of Greek pagans defied police presence and a thunderous downpour, to huddle near the Parthenon in Athens. They were holding a protest prayer for a museum being built at the foot of the sacred site.
The Greek Culture Ministry had forbade ceremonies of any sort at archaeological sites. But the pagan revivalists used a second century temple of Zeus in Athens to stage the first known ceremony of its kind in 1,600 years.
Athens-based group, called “Ellinais”, an acronym in Greek for “Sacred Society of Greek Ancient Religionists” was campaigning to revive the ancient religion. The group defied Culture Ministry bans on holding prayers at several ancient temples. Then, about 200 people, by the leader’s estimate, prayed to Olympian ‘Athena’, patron of ancient Athens, to protect the 2,500-year-old site and spare the city “from harm”.
“Is it a coincidence that rain started falling when the ceremony started and ended at the same time as the ceremony? I think not,” said the groups leader at the time. Personally, I don’t think The Lord was giving them a complement, by sending a storm. Police made no effort to disrupt the 20-minute convocation. There was no consequence or action, from the Government Authorities.
Orthodox Christianity is the official religion of Greece. Christianity took hold in Greece in the 4th century. Roman Emperor Theodosius wiped out the last vestige of the Olympian gods when he abolished the Olympic Games in 394 A.D.
The Parthenon, built between 447-432 B.C. at the Acropolis as a temple to Athena, was converted into a Christian church in the 5th century A.D. It became a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Athens in 1456 and is now a museum.
“This was the first prayer ceremony on the Acropolis since Parthenon was converted into a church,” the pagan group smugly said in 2008.
One month later, massive riots broke out across the capital, for over two solid weeks. The nation has financially gone downhill ever since then, to the point that the EU is currently bailing out the country from bankruptcy. To quote the Pagan group above, “is it a coincidence”?
Firstly, there is a consequence, when governments do not follow the ways of The Lord and allow the occult to prevail. (There’s a warning for us all) Secondly, a spiritual and financial environment, such as this, was created in pre-war Germany. Therefore please pray for the nation and people of Greece on all levels. Lest it happens again.
