HITLER'S RISE AND FALL
FORETOLD BY DANIEL The Bible has quite a lot to say about Hitler, according to Mr Ernest Brown (Minister of Labour in the Chamberlain Cabinet). Addressing the 1500 delegates avlio attended the opening session of the Baptist Union Assembly at the City Temple, Mr Brown said that a young man recently asked ■what the Bible had to say about Hitler. "I told him," declared Mr Bro\A r n, "yotr Avill find it in James Moffatt's translation in the 11th Chapter of Daniel, Averse 21. It is an intimate account of the character and career of a tyrant and it reads:— "A despicable creature shall arise, one on whom the Royal honour is not conferred, but who conies Avhen men are olf their guard and gains the kingdom by means of crafty promises. "'He shall Avorlt deceitfully. He rises to poAver by aid only of a small party. When men are off their guard he attacks the leaders in each province. '"He shall scatter prey, plunder and property among his folloAvers. He shall exult himself and magnify himself. For he shall magnify himself above all. '"He shall not heed the gods of his fathers . . . or any other god. for he shall exult himself above all gods. " 'But he shall honour the god of force. '"His faAvu ites he shall advance to high power and make them rulers 0A r er the masses. " 'His heart Avas against the Holy Covenant. " 'Yet he shall come to his end and none will help him.'"
