MARTIN LUTHER: THE RELUCTANT REVOLUTIONARY
PROF. M. M. NINAN
Vom Schem Hamphoras und vom Geschlecht Christi
(Of the Unknowable Name and the Generations of Christ)'
Luther also wrote the 125-page Vom Schem Hamphoras und vom Geschlecht Christi (Of the
Unknowable Name and the Generations of Christ)', in which he equated Jews with the Devil
The cover shows, youn Jews who are sucking a mother pig pudhing out baby
pig. Behind the mother pig stands a rabbi who is lifting up the right leg of the
mother pig.
Luther's work acquired the status of Scripture within Germany, and
he became the most widely read author of his generation, in part
because of the coarse and passionate nature of the writing
Even as late as On November 10, 1938, on Luther's birthday, the
synagogues were burning in Germany.
Hitler's Education Minister, Bernhard Rust, (was quoted by the
Völkischer Beobachter as saying that: )
"Since Martin Luther closed his eyes, no such son of our people
has appeared again. It has been decided that we shall be the first
to witness his reappearance ... I think the time is past when one
may not say the names of Hitler and Luther in the same breath.
They belong together; they are of the same old stamp [Schrot
und Korn]"
In his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William L. Shirer wrote:
“It is difficult to understand the behavior of most German Protestants in the first Nazi
years unless one is aware of two things: their history and the influence of Martin
Luther.
The great founder of Protestantism was both
a passionate anti-Semite
and
a ferocious believer in absolute obedience to political authority.
He wanted Germany rid of the Jews.
Luther's advice was literally followed four centuries later
by Hitler, Goering and Himmler.”
Luther's hatred of the Jews is a sad and dishonorable
part of his legacy and the result of Punitive
Supercessionism.
It is revisiting us in the form of Islamic State terrorism.
