Remarkably, the entire history of the Catholic Church is prefigured by the entire history
of Israel in the Old Testament, in chronological order!
Pope Pius XII and Hitler are part of this amazing story, and are prefigured in the Old
Testament by Queen Esther and Haman.
For a complete video with Scriptural references and other
source documentation please refer to our video :Pope Pius XII and Hitler Prefigured
in the Old Testament.
Here is a short summary of the parallels between Pope Pius XII/Hitler and Queen Esther/Haman.
The Book of Esther starts off with a very large, opulent and long lasting Feast that
was thrown for the princes and people by the King of Persia.,
The greatest down to the least were all invited to the King's feast, and all were able to
eat and drink their fill.
After World War I, the western countries of the world we rebuilding, and economic prosperity
was growing.
These were the days of the roaring twenties, in which feasting, drinking,
dancing and partying were very prevalent.
All of society, from rich to poor, experienced a boost in their standard of living.
During the feast held by the King of Persia, His Queen, Vashti was holding a separate feast
for the women.
Queen Vashti's Feast was in a separate place than that of the Kings.
During the materialism of the roaring twenties, the Catholic Church was busy engaging in a
political endeavor called "Catholic Action".
Pope Pius XI issued an encyclical, Quadragesimo Anno, denouncing materialism….
And also established the Feast of Christ the King, proclaiming
Christ the head of all the world, and all kingdoms.
At the end of his feast, the King of Persia was merry with wine.
His friends wanted to see the beauty of Queen Vashti.
The King sent word for Vashti come and appear before him… but she refused to do so.
Because of this, the King was extremely upset, and his advisors counseled
him to depose Queen Vashti and select a new Queen.
Through his promotion of Catholic Action, he denouncing of the materialism of the time
and his establishment of the new Feast of Christ the King, the Pope was asserting
the Church as sovereign and above the powers of the world.
Towards the end of his pontificate, Pope Pius XI was very
outspoken against Mussolini and Fascism, which asserted the power of the
state over everything else in society…..
Including the Church.
Pope Pius XI and Mussolini were in direct opposition to each other.
With the deposing of Queen Vashti, the king sent out letters to all the provinces in his
kingdom, establishing that the man was the master in his house,
and that he was to be obeyed.
Then, the king selected another Queen…..
Esther, who respected the King.
She did not adorn herself excessively, but was prudent in taking only the ornaments
that were advised for her by the king's eunuch.
The Fascism, that was started by Mussolini in Italy, spread to almost every country in
Europe, in one form or another.
The power of the state was asserting itself, and the endeavor of 'Catholic Action' met
with severe resistance by most forms of Fascism.
After the death of Pius XI, the Church sought to elect
a new pope.
Eugenio Pacelli, an experienced diplomat and a reserved and cautious man, was elected
as Pope Pius XII.
He was not as outspoken as his predecessor, Pope Pius XI.
Esther, before she was chosen to be Queen, was the adopted daughter of a Jew named Mordecai.
Mordecai would eventually be situated at the entrance of the palace.
Esther and Mordecai's relationship was kept secret once Esther became
Queen of Persia.
Eugenio Pacelli, before he was elected Pope Pius XII, was the papal Nuncio to Germany.
He spent much time in Germany, and made many
connections with the same people that would later become the Resistance to Hitler inside
of Nazi Germany.
Josef Muller and Eugenio Pacelli formed a specially close relationship, with
Fr.
Pacelli witnessing the marriage of Josef and his wife, at the Vatican.
Haman was elevated to the first highest position in the Kingdom.
The king trusted his judgement and even went so far as to hand Haman his
signet ring, so Haman could make any laws that he
thought was best.
Haman used that ring to make the law concerning the annihilation of the Jews.
At the beginning of the 1930's, as Hitler was rising to power in Germany, Hitler was
looked on very favorably in America… even appearing on
the cover of Time Magazine on multiple occasions.
His ideas about eugenics were applauded by many
wealthy people in America.
In 1933, the Germany Reichstag handed Hitler full power to make
laws with the passing of the Enabling Act of 1933.
Hitler would use this dictatorial power to carry out his plans for war and persecution
of the Church in Nazi lands.
A law was passed in the Persian Empire that everyone had to bow down to Haman in his presence.
Everyone in the palace had to bow down to Haman when he passed, or was in their presence.
Mordecai refused to bow to Haman, which angered him greatly.
The Nazi's passed a law that made the "Heil Hitler" salute mandatory for everyone in the
Germany.
It was used by all Germans, from all walks of life.
In Hitler's presence, the Heil Hitler had to be used.
There are cases of Germans who refused to give the salute threatened with severe penalties.
The German Wehrmacht, German Army, did not give the salute.
It was in the German Army that the most organized group of Nazi resistance
was located.
Upon hearing about the law that would allow for the annihilation of all the Jews in Persia,
Mordecai dressed in sackcloth and threw ashes over his head.
Almost all the Jews in the Persian kingdom did the same, many fasting, weeping
and even using sackcloth for their bedding.
As Hitler invaded more countries, and he sent more Catholics, other Christians, Jews and
others to the concentration camps, more dread would
spread across the rest of Europe.
Those in concentration camps would be given meager rations of food,
would witness the ashes of the dead falling from the
sky, and in some cases, were even given uniforms and bedding made of burlap, which is sackcloth.
When Mordecai became aware of the plot of Haman to kill all the Jews in the Persian
Empire, he and Queen Esther would communicate back and
forth through the Queen's eunuch, who would relay messages for them.
Through this Eunuch, Mordecai was able to request that the Queen
approach the King, even if it might mean her life.
Upon hearing and seeing the atrocities committed by the Nazi's in Poland, high ranking officers
in the German Army and Intelligence Agency sent Josef Muller to make contact with the
Pope.
However, Josef Muller could not approach the pope himself, but instead relayed messages
back and forth with Pope Pius XII, through the pope's very trusted aid, Father Leiber.
Through this intermediary, the German Resistance was able to request that Pope Pius XII
approach the Allies, even though it meant great risk for the Pope and the Vatican.
The King of Persia had a law that no one could approach him unless first called for by the
King.
So, for Queen Esther to approach the king with a request for him to spare her and the
Jews, meant that Queen Esther was putting her life at
risk.
If the king decided, he could have her killed for
breaking the law.
The Lateran treaty, signed only a few years prior to Pope Pius XII, stated that the Vatican
had to stay out of international politics, unless the
involved countries made an appeal to the Vatican.
Thus, by delivering messages concerning the assassination
of Hitler, to the Allied forces, Pope Pius XII was
expressly breaking conditions of the Lateran Treaty.
Not only was he risking retribution by Hitler and the Nazi's, but he was risking the possibility
that the Kingdom of Italy revoking the treaty and annexing the Vatican
and putting an end to the Church in Rome.
Mordecai took up a position right outside the palace gate.
Presumably, this is how he was able to discover that Haman was behind the plot against
the Jews… and also was able to overhear the plot
of the two officials who planned on killing the King of Persia.
The German Resistance were well placed inside the Nazi Empire.
Some of the German Resistance were high ranking officials in
the Army Intelligence Agency, the Abwehr.
These men were able to discover the plans of Hitler
to invade Western Europe, and also had first hand knowledge of Hitler's plans
on killing the Catholic Clergy in Poland.
Mordecai was able to discover the plot of two Persian officials, who planned on
staging a coup and killing the Persian King.
Mordecai, through the use of the intermediary of Esther's Eunuch, was able
to notify Esther, who in turn notified the King.
The German Resistance was able to discover the dates in which Hitler planned
on invading Switzerland, and also France and the Low Countries of Western Europe.
The German Resistance was able to communicate this to Pope Pius XII, by means of
his assistant Father Leiber.
After Haman was surprised to find out that Queen Esther was a Jew, and after Queen Esther
pleaded for life and her people before the King,
Haman was gripped with despair.
While the King stepped out in the garden, Haman threw himself on the bed of the Queen
to beg her clemency.
The King returned, and thought that Haman was attacking the Queen in his very presence.
He had Haman taken away, and eventually executed.
Shortly after Hitler was surprised to learn that Pope Pius XII was involved in the plot
to assassinate him, the Nazi's invaded Italy and occupied Rome.
The Allies were closing in on Rome from their approach through the South of Italy.
Pope Pius XII wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, asking him to spare
Rome, and Italy from destruction.
Hitler and the Nazi's reportedly had a plot to kidnap
the Pope before the arrival of the Allies into Rome.
However, the plot never materialized, and the Allies eventually arrived in
Rome and liberated it from the Nazi's occupation.
Because he refused to bow to Haman, and laid bare the truth about how the Jews would ultimately
only stay loyal to God, Mordecai was hated by Haman.
Haman erected a gibbet to hang Mordecai.
However, at the last minute, Mordecai was saved from being hung by the King's anger
and execution of Haman.
Josef Muller was captured by the Nazi's.
Josef Muller was part of the Christian German Resistance to the Nazi's, and
was the liaison between the German Resistance and the Vatican.
Near the end of the war, when the Allies were closing
in on Hitler, Josef Muller stood facing the hangman's noose.
Ultimately, his execution was stayed.
Soon after, Berlin was captured by the Allies and Hitler
was pronounced dead.
While Haman was banqueting with the King and Queen Esther, Queen Esther revealed herself
to be a Jew, and pleaded for the life of her
people.
Haman, seeing how much the King loved his queen, became despondent and utterly despairing
about his fate.
Hitler, upon discovering that that Pope Pius XII was involved in the plot along with his
very own army, to undermine and assassinate him, became
extremely depressed and was bed ridden for days.
After the plot of Haman was exposed and the King executed Haman and his sons, Queen Esther
was hailed as the savior of her people, the Jews, in the Persian Empire.
She was greatly admired, so much so that she was able to establish
a brand new Feast Day, that all the Jews in the world would come to celebrate.
After the Nazi's were driven out of Rome by the Allies, the people of Italy, particularly
in Rome, hailed Pope Pius XII as their savior.
So impressed were the people of Italy with Pope Pius XII,
that there was actually serious talk about giving back the pope temporal power in Italy
again.
The day that Haman originally planned to be the ultimate destruction of the Jews turned
out to be the day that the Jews were able to turn
the table on their enemies.
There was celebration in the streets by the Jews after the news
came that they would not be destroyed.
The Jews were scheduled to be destroyed on the 13 of Adar.
The Feast of Purim came to be celebrated on the 14th of Adar… except
for cities that were behind walls.
In those places, Purim was celebrated on the 15 of Adar.
Hitler planned on, and actually invaded Western Europe on May 10th, 1940.
The Nazi's ended up signing the terms of surrender on May 8th,
1945.
The day of the Nazi surrender came to be celebrated as VE day, or Victory Europe Day.
This day became a national holiday in virtually every
European country.
There was dancing in the streets upon the surrender of the Nazi's.
However, VE day is celebrated on May 9th, for Soviet Counties behind the wall of Berlin.
Mordechai was on the verge of being hung by Haman.
However, after Haman was toppled by Queen Esther and the King, Mordecai
was raised to the former position of Haman, and Mordecai had great influence in
the Persian Empire.
After almost being hung by the Nazi's at the end of World War II, Josef Muller became
a very prominent politician in the rebuilding of Europe after the war.
Josef Muller is also said to have been an agent for American
interests in the rebuilding of Europe.
The Jews were scheduled to be eliminated on the
13th of Adar.
However, the tables were turned, and the Jews were given the upper
hand on their enemies.
The Jews attacked the same enemies that were planning
on destroying them.
After the end of World War II, ethnic Germans who lived in European countries
were badly persecuted and driven from their homes, forced in many places to return
to Germany… in retribution and revenge for the afflictions that the German Nazi's
committed across Europe during the war.
Not only was Haman hung by the King, but at the request of Queen Esther and Mordecai,
Haman's 10 sons were also hung.
During the Nuremberg trials, after World War II, 10 Nazi officials were convicted of war
crimes and were executed by hanging.
In the Book of Esther, She makes a prayer to God, in which she announces God to be king
over all, and that others seek to make a carnal, earthly king.
This is mirrored in the encyclical written by Pope Pius XI, Quas Primas.
They design to change thy promises, and destroy thy inheritance, and shut the mouths of
them that praise thee, and extinguish the glory of thy temple and altar,
That they may open the mouths of Gentiles, and praise the strength of idols, and magnify
for ever a carnal king.
Remember, O Lord, and shew thyself to us in the time of our tribulation,
and give me boldness, O Lord, king of gods, and of all power
The empire of Christ over all nations was rejected.
The right which the Church has from Christ himself, to teach
mankind, to make laws, to govern peoples in all that pertains to their eternal salvation,
that right was denied.
Then gradually the religion of Christ came to be
likened to false religions and to be placed ignominiously on the same
level with them.
It was then put under the power of the state and tolerated more or less at the whim of
princes and rulers.
Some men went even further, and wished to set up in the place of God's religion a natural
religion consisting in some instinctive affection of the heart.
There were even some nations who thought they could dispense with God,
and that their religion should consist in impiety and the neglect of God
When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society
will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty,
well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.
Mordecai is convincing Queen Esther that she must speak out before the King,
because God's people are in great danger.
Esther is first hesitant to speak out because she fears death from the King.
Here is the passage from Scripture:
He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because
thou art in the king a house, more than all the Jews:
For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion:
and thou, and thy father's house shall perish.
And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom,
that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?
It is interesting to note that there is a great controversy today about whether Pope
Pius XII did as much as he could to stop suffering
during World War II.
The very thing he is most accused of is not speaking out.
Haman is one of the most infamous names in Jewish history.
Hitler, is probably the one most single notorious name in
Western Civilization.
Haman offered to pay to the King a sum of money, in exchange
for the king making a law to kill all the Jews in the Kingdom.
The King said that Haman could keep his money.
And he said to him: As to the money which thou promisest, keep it for thyself: and as
to the people, do with them as seemeth good to thee.
After World War I, Germany was forced to pay war reparations
to the United States, and Allied powers.
However, in the 1930's the German government stopped paying reparations.
The Book of Esther takes place in ancient Persia, which
was located in present day Iran.
The word "Iran" come from a word that is the same root word for the word "Aryan",
and is thought to the be place where the Indo-European
race finds her ancestors.
Hitler was obsessed with the Aryan race, and wanted to make
a pure Aryan race in German.
The Aryan race is thought to have been located in ancient Persia.
Ironically, in the Book of Esther, the King declares that
Haman does not have any Persian blood.
Now that you may more plainly understand what we say, I Aman the son of Amadathi, a
Macedonian both in mind and country, and having nothing of the Persian
blood, but with his cruelty staining our goodness, was received being a stranger by us
Throughout the Book of Esther, there are letters that go out to
all the Persian Empire, into every Provence… so that all the people
can know the words and commands of the king.
This happens in the Book of Esther on multiple occasions, and
is the first time in the Old Testament were such a system of letter writing and mass
communication is used.
Radio technology became available for effective use in the early part of
the 20th century.
Mussolini, the Nazi's, and the Vatican all took advantage
of this new and very effective means of mass communication, and were
able to reach the people with relative ease.
Finally, there is this very interesting account on Wikipedia concerning the Nazi's own
awareness of the parallels between the Book of Esther and themselves.
Adolf Hitler banned and forbade the observance of Purim.
In a speech made on November 10, 1938 (the day after Kristallnacht), Julius Streicher
surmised that just as "the Jew butchered 75,000 Persians" in one night, the same fate
would have befallen the German people had the Jews succeeded in inciting a war against
Germany; the Jews would have instituted a new Purim festival
in Germany.
Nazi attacks against Jews were often coordinated with Jewish festivals.
On Purim 1942, ten Jews were hanged in Zduńska Wola to "avenge" the hanging of Haman's ten
sons.
In a similar incident in 1943, the Nazis shot ten Jews from the Piotrków ghetto.
On Purim eve that same year, over 100 Jewish doctors and their families were shot by the
Nazis in Częstochowa.
The following day, Jewish doctors were taken from Radom and shot nearby in Szydłowiec.
In an apparent connection made by Hitler between his Nazi regime and the role of Haman, Hitler
stated in a speech made on January 30, 1944, that if the Nazis were defeated, the
Jews could celebrate "a second Purim".
Indeed, Julius Streicher was heard to sarcastically remark "Purimfest 1946" as he ascended the
scaffold after Nuremberg.
According to Rabbi Mordechai Neugroschel, there is a code in the Book of Esther which
lies in the names of Haman's 10 sons.
Three of the Hebrew letters — a tav, a shin and a zayin —
are written smaller than the rest, while a vav is written larger.
The outsized vav — which represents the number six — corresponds to the sixth millennium
of the world since creation, which, according to Jewish tradition,
is the period between 1240-2240.
As for the tav, shin and zayin, their numerical values add up to 707.
Put together, these letters refer to the Jewish year
5707, which corresponds to the secular 1946-1947.
In his research, Neugroschel noticed that ten Nazi defendants in the Nuremberg Trials
were executed by hanging on October 16, 1946, which was the date of the final judgement
day of Judaism, Hoshana Rabbah.
Additionally, Hermann Göring, an eleventh Nazi official sentenced to death, committed
suicide, parallel to Haman's daughter in Talmud Megillah
