The Spear of Destiny: Hitler's Last Crusade
The Spear of Destiny also found its way into Hitler's hands. Historians testify that even in his youth, the mystically inclined Adolf would stand for hours in front of the display case of the Spear of Longinus in the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum.
Later, when Austria became part of the Third Reich, Hitler declared this relic an "imperial treasure."
Hitler was convinced that, with the Spear of Destiny, he could enslave the entire world. At the beginning of World War II, Hitler blindly believed in the invincible power of this mystical relic. And even in 1945, when Germany was almost defeated, the Führer attempted to hide the treasure. There is documented evidence that Hitler ordered the Spear of Destiny sent to Antarctica by submarine. But his wishes were not fulfilled – in the final days of the war, the relic was hidden in a well in Nuremberg. The "Spear of Destiny" was found by the Americans and returned to Austria in 1946. But rumors that the original remained in the United States, and that Vienna was merely a copy, persisted until 2003, when the spear was analyzed.
It was discovered that the relic, which had passed through the hands of many rulers bent on world domination, was very ancient, but merely a copy of the "Spear of Longinus." Is this why all the plans of the bloody conquerors were shattered?
The greatest Christian relic—the legendary spear of the legionary Gaius Cassius (Longinus), which pierced the chest of the crucified Jesus Christ—is located in Armenia.
Recent research conducted by specialists from Great Britain has confirmed that it is the genuine article. Other similar relics are merely later copies.
It was this spear that dealt the blow that brought an end to the torment of the crucified Jesus Christ. The Gospel records that "one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear." And this centurion, Gaius Cassius, said, "Truly this man was righteous!" According to legend, the legionary came to believe in Christ and was baptized as Longinus. For his preaching of Christian doctrine, he was canonized as a saint. And his spear became Christianity's greatest treasure. The world knows it as the "Spear of Longinus" or the "Spear of Destiny."
It is believed that whoever wields this weapon will determine the fate of the world.
