Prophecies and power collided in one of history's darkest chapters. The Nazis didn't just exploit predictions—they built their rise around them, bending fate to their will. Astrological charts, ancient texts, and mystics all seemed to predict Hitler's ascent, the devastation of World War II, and the horrors of the Holocaust. But these same prophecies also hinted at their inevitable downfall—revelations the Nazis sought to suppress. From secretive astrologers to forbidden biblical passages, the eerie alignment of prophecy and history reshaped the world in ways we’re still uncovering.
What predictions surrounded Adolf Hitler's rise?
The messages detailed systematic extermination of all Jews in the empire. The mastermind? Haman, the king's closest advisor. The date was set. The orders were sealed with the king's ring. But Haman made one crucial mistake. He didn't know the queen was Jewish. Esther waited. She hosted elaborate banquets. Night after night, she gained the king's trust. Then she made her move.
At the final banquet, she revealed everything, her Jewish identity, Haman's plot, and most importantly, evidence that Haman had been embezzling from the royal treasury. The king's fury was swift. Haman ended up hanging from his own gallows, a 75-foot structure he had built for Mordecai. But Esther wasn't finished. She knew Haman's 10 sons possessed copies of their father's orders.
They also had to be killed. All of them were found hanging the next morning. The official story? Mass suicide. Palace whispers suggest otherwise. Today, Jews celebrate Purim to commemorate these events. They wear masks and costumes hiding their true identity, just like Esther did. But here's the strange part.
The Book of Esther is the only book in the Hebrew Bible that never mentions God, not even once. And some scholars say this was intentional. And something strange happened when scribes recorded the execution of Haman's 10 sons. In the text, three letters were written smaller than the rest, Tav, Shin, and Zayin. And one letter, Vav, was written larger. These letters have numerical values in Hebrew.
The smaller letters added up to 707. The larger letter equaled 6. Together they formed the Jewish year 5707. On our calendar, that's 1946. And what happened in October 1946? That was the Nuremberg trials in which 23 Nazi leaders were tried. 11 of them were executed for their war crimes. Two hours before the execution, Hermann Goering committed suicide, leaving 10 Nazi war criminals to be executed.
Normally, since they were charged by military tribunal, they would die by firing squad. But in this case, the court condemned them to death by hanging, just like Haman's sons, and all in accordance with Esther's prophetic request.
Even more striking, some of the last words of Nazi war criminal Julius Streicher as he approached the gallows were Purimfest, or Purimfest 1946, according to some accounts. Purim was the Jewish holiday that celebrates Queen Esther's tale. Hitler himself mentioned this prophecy in a speech in 1944. He warned that if the Nazis were defeated, the Jews could celebrate a second Purim.
The Nazis tried to suppress these prophecies, but in doing so, they only made them stronger. And in the end, it wasn't Hitler's self-proclaimed prophecy of victory that came true. It was the prophecy from a Jewish queen who lived over 2,000 years ago. And as their power grew, the Nazis began looking for more prophecies to justify their actions.
But as the Third Reich expanded, so did the fear of what was to come. But the Nazis didn't just fear the words in the Bible. They feared the power those words held, the power to manifest reality itself. And their desperate attempt to control it finally led them down the path already chosen for them, by them.
