VE-Day: Arrow Of The Lord's Deliverance!

‘It’s All Over’ ran the Daily Mail’s headline on 8 May 1945 as it announced that VE-Day (Victory in Europe) had finally come!

It is vital to remember:

[1] THE INTERVENTION FOR THIS VICTORY.

In all pivotal events leading up to VE-Day, the hand of providence is apparent. Dunkirk and The Battle of Britain (1940), the North African Campaign and the Bumper Harvest of 1942, plus the D-Day Invasion (1944), proclaim:

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform!

[2] THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS VICTORY.

VE-Day signalled a victory over Nazism – and the philosophies on which it was built. Nazi philosophy rested on a series of lies, imported from the writings of C19th atheist / evolutionist, Nietzsche:

Lie #1: There is no God.
Lie #2: There is no absolute morality.
Lie #3: Human beings have different value according to their usefulness to society.

Offshoots of this thinking are the evils of Racism, Eugenics, and Euthanasia.

Sadly, Hitler’s record of suppression and slaughter did not perish with him in that Berlin bunker; it was outdone by Marxist leaders in Russia – and today, to our shame, this old atheistic / evolutionary philosophy holds sway in the 'bastions of freedom' in the West! Evolution is popularised, abortion is legalised, euthanasia is promoted, and eugenics is demanded.

National Days of Prayer featured very prominently on the path to VE-Day. Today the need for prayer is as great as ever!
