Does anyone recognize Divine Providence at work in the events of WWII?

Good question and Yes I do. But I go even farther than your comments do in that God controls every event large and small good and bad. See below how He governs even the death of sparrows, works not some things but All things according to His will. I would have to list every event of the war, battles won and lost to show Gods providence. If you read about Moses going to Pharaoh see how God sends Moses with a command to Pharaoh to let Hes people go but also tells Moses that he won't listen because He will harden his heart. We read that God did this so His glory would be manifest in Pharaoh's defeat and that the nations would fear the God of Israel. So we see Gods Providence even in the decisions of men. \n\nMatthew 10:29\nAre not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

I always thought he resembled the Dark Emperor from Star Wars. You have just reinforced my belief. Just remember what the saying above the gate at Auschwitz is "Arbeit Macht Frei", work will set you free, and then think about the people who built that place, like the pope.

There are natural disasters that are happening more frequently now. Today it rained and flooded in like a half hour in this town that I live in. But I know that could happen anytime because it did when I was little. But there are those, famine, and other things as well. I was watching something on television about how the Jews were persecuted in World War I, than accepted, than persecuted in World War II, than accepted and now they are being persecuted again. This was on the Christian network. And maybe I got it backwards but in the end Jews will return to their homeland. But seriously we won't know that the world is at the end until we see God's return. Every ear will hear and every eye shall see. I don't remember where that is located in the bible. But I know its in there somewhere. And not only that but you will hear a loud trumpet and it will sound like a shriek almost.\n\nBut don't worry, because its not something to worry about unless you are not saved!

I think that you may be British, so pardon my colonial experience. Perhaps some of the civilian nurses that went into captivity when the Japanese overran everything.\nThe civilian workforce that helps out in the day to day operation of any branch is indispensable.

ww2?? Your question is a little vague.

I would have to look at the source ,material myself to make this determination.\n\nTo me it seems plausible. I read the book, and I haven't seen the movie. It sure looks like a woman next to Jesus in the Last Supper painting.\n\nOpuis Dei is real. You can look them up.\n\nThere was a Nicean counsel, and at the counsel they wrote the Nicean creed which is still recited in Catholic Churches to this day. This is the counsel that the book says "elected" Jesus the savior.\n\nLike I said, I'd have to research the Nicean counsel and go deeper than what you can find on the Internet.

I am not sure, but I personally think WW3 has already started.It just hasn't ENDED YET!!!! But GOD is not out to DESTROY Human Beings, only EVIL!!!!!!! And if HE DESTROY's EVIL and that EVIL is inside of a Human Being at that time, then??????? What-ever!!!!!!!!!!

Well, there are certain prophecies that were uncomfortably similar to actual events/ people ( Hitler, Great fire of London, World war 2) Although he predicted a great war in 1999 to end all wars, which would be won by a yellow race - which, depending on your interpretation is either yet to be fulfilled if its still ongoing or complete BS.\n\nAnyway all I know is, when I was about ten I asked for this huge book called 'marvels and mysteries of the unexplained' and it had a section on prophecies. The prophet for 1999 by Nostradamus made my twin sister cry unconsolably because she thought it would come true and had nightmares for years (until 1999) so he may or may not have been correct.However I never got to research it as my sister superglued his pages together....

I came home on evening from work and my wife and children were not home yet. Shortly a neighbor came to get me and said there was an accident. He could hardly tell me it was my family so I new it was bad. When I got there (not far from home) My wife was unconscious and my children banged up. The medics were working to save my wife's life. \nAfter some days in a coma my wife got quite a bit better. Still today suffers some effects. After wards I tried to contact all who helped and found out someone was on the scene before anyone else even the from the house by where it happened. It is very possible they saved my wife's life but no one knows who it was, how they got there or where they went. I still don't know. I can't say for sure but I wonder. The Bible says the angels are ministering spirits for us. Could it have been?

Of couirse, you're assuming that God gave these orders, and any of it really happened. However, at that time, that is what happened when one counrty lost a war. all men were killed, and all women were assimilated into the winning culture.

the Holocaust and Christianity.

there might be a clue in until WW2.

We're indisputedly in the end times at this very moment!\n\nBecause God's attention has always been centered on Israel and His chosen people, the easiest indicators are to look at the prophesies pertaining to them.  For example, Jesus' short parable of the fig tree at Matthew 24:32-35 speaks of a day when Israel (symbolized by the fig tree) begins to sprout leaves, i.e. is regenerated as a nation.  Israel announced last year that, for the first time in almost 2,000 years, there are more Jews living there than in any other country in the world.\n\nFurther, Jesus tells us in verse 33 that:  "when you see all these things, know that it [His return] is near—at the doors!"  In order to understand what "these things" are, you have to read Matthew 24 and 25 (and the parallel Gospel verses in Luke and Mark), AND the OT prophesies regarding the end times.\n\nHere's an easy to understand web page that fully explains why THIS generation is the generation Jesus refers to in the parable of the fig tree:\n\nhttp://www.raptureready.com/rap101.html\n\nI hope this helps.  Peace.\n\nEDIT:  "Kjelstad," you've taken that reference totally out of context.  Jesus was referring to those who would witness His transfiguration.

http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/authors/keneally/schindler.html\nIn the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrial grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he was a saviour. \n\n"This is the story of Oskar Schindler who risked his life to protect beleaguered Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, who continually defied the SS, and who was transformed by the war into a man with a mission, a compassionate angel of mercy." \n  check also this site..\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schindler%27s_Ark

I believe it to be true. Referring to the most significant postwar sighting which turned out to be singularly dramatic: A luminous object, dangling in the air from an enormous, darkened craft. It was witnessed by many observers over Tokyo Bay in the summer of 1952. \nThe objects were also picked up by radar, prompting jet fighters to scramble to intercept. The huge aerial contraption proceeded to elude the military aircraft with maneuvers never thought possible before. \nIn the early days of the Cold War, with the Korean conflict still brewing on the other side of the Sea of Japan, the thought of a surprise attack by unknown Soviet technology was fresh in every strategist' mind.

Aha, conspiracy theories are great.  The governments of the world are seeking the anihilation of coastal people...Some sites are akin to the National Enquirer, you know.  Did this person see the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast and she told this prophecy?

Yes. People should remember that during this day, the Allied troops of US, Britain and Canada fought the Germans in the Normandy Beach. The victory against Hitler and the fascists is near.
