Had Germany won World War II there would never have been trials held in Nuremberg for the Nazis’ crimes against humanity. Those who rose to the top ranks in Hitler’s military would have expanded the populations under his control. Heinrich Himmler’s feared SS would have seized the property of Jews in those conquered nations, and packed them and their families off to concentration camps for medical experimentation and ultimately the gas chambers. The medical community of that day would have honored doctors who furthered medical science by experimenting on imprisoned Jews before they were gassed. And German would be the world’s language instead of English.
God, however, ordained that Germany did not win WWII. Instead, Israel once again became a nation. The Holocaust stopped at the Third Reich’s borders. At the end of the war, ordinary Germans were paraded through the concentration camps to view what their nation had done. The leadership stood trial at Nuremberg from 1945-46. The following sentences were handed down:
“In the end, the international tribunal found all but three of the defendants guilty. Twelve were sentenced to death, one in absentia, and the rest were given prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life behind bars. Ten of the condemned were executed by hanging on Oct. 16, 1946. Hermann Göring (1893-1946), Hitler’s designated successor and head of the ‘Luftwaffe’ (German air force), committed suicide the night before his execution with a cyanide capsule he had hidden in a jar of skin medication” (History.com).
From 1946-49, a dozen additional trials were held. Doctors, lawyers and judges, industrialists were among those tried and sentenced. “Of the 185 people indicted in the subsequent Nuremberg trials, 12 defendants received death sentences, eight others were given life in prison, and an additional 77 people received prison terms of varying lengths.”
The world of that day took crimes against humanity more seriously. One wonders how they would have treated America’s abortionists, now found to be trafficking in aborted baby parts?
Those who imagine that God will treat America differently for the genocide of the unborn simply don’t know Him. Do not imagine that His justice will be reserved for those filmed by the Center for Medical Progress, laughing and joking over dismembered infants. Don’t imagine that the medical community will bear his wrath alone. Don’t imagine that only the employees of those organizations will be brought up on charges at America’s Nuremberg. Don’t imagine that politicians will bear the brunt of His wrath for putting blood on ordinary Americans’ hands through taxpayer financing of such butchery. Don’t imagine that anyone will escape.
Perhaps I am wrong, and there has been some widespread effort among Americans who attend churches to curtail this genocide. Perhaps the pastors of such churches have railed against the destruction of God’s image in the unborn. Perhaps they have encouraged church members to speak out against such barbaric practices. Sadly, I have not seen it.
In the end, crimes against humanity are always attacks against God, his mercy and his sovereignty. They originate by those who oppose God’s moral authority in their own lives and his rule over the universe He created. Such crimes take many forms, but they only ever have one target. It’s important to remember that.
America can’t hide its sin from God. The horror is, it no longer even tries.
Book 2 in the “Armageddon Story” series is just days away from publication. “Behind Enemy Lines” will introduce you to a young Brazilian girl who is now the target of the secular world’s rage – simply for not staying dead.
