The Dangers of a Godless Nation

A Brief Address by John Lofton (4:26)

Psalm 9:17 – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all nations that forget God.”

Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the kinds of calamities which God has prepared for those  who forget him.

Hans Frank was Hitler’s personal legal advisor. He was Hitler’s lawyer.

He was indicted for war crimes and tried before the International Military Tribunal in Nuremburg.

He was found guilty. He was hung on a military gallows on October 1, 1946.

In his final statement, referring to what he called his tremendous spiritual responsibility, Hans Frank said the following, explaining what had happened under Nazi rule, and I quote:

“At the beginning of our way we did not suspect that our turning away from God could have such disastrous deadly consequences and that we would necessarily become more and more deeply involved in guilt. At that time we could not have known that so much loyalty and willingness to sacrifice on the part of the German people could have been so badly directed by us.

“Thus said Frank, by turning away from God, we were overthrown and had to perish. It was not because of technical deficiencies and unfortunate circumstances alone that we lost the war, nor was it misfortune and treason. Before all, God pronounced and executed judgment on Hitler and the system which we served with minds far from God. Therefore, may our people, too, be called back from the road on which Hitler — and we with him — have led them.

“I beg of our people not to continue in this direction, be it even a single step; because Hitler’s road was the way without God, the way of turning from Christ, and in the last analysis, the way of political foolishness…, and the way of death. His path became more and more that of a frightful adventurer without conscience or honesty, as I know today at the end of this Trial.

“We call upon the German people, whose rulers we were, to return from this road, which according to the law and justice of God, had to lead us and our system into disaster and which will lead everyone into disaster who tries to walk on it, or continue on it, anywhere in the whole world….

“It is God’s eternal justice in which I hope our people will be secure and to which alone I trustfully submit.”

Proverbs 8:36 – “But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.”
