Hitler, Alice Bailey, and Replacement Theology—What Do They Have in Common?

By Philip Gray and the Editors at Lighthouse Trails

What do Hitler, Alice Bailey, and Replacement Theology adherents have in common? Basically, the answer to that question is that in all three cases, they reject the Jews as God’s chosen people.

Those who embrace Replacement Theology* probably don’t realize that the thinking behind Replacement Theology is some of the thinking behind occultist Alice Bailey as well as Hitler when it comes to the Jews.

Now we are not saying that people who adhere to Replacement Theology would want to kill the Jews as Hitler did; but Replacement Theology adherents need to understand that behind this theological view of the Jews lies an aspect that is sinister, nonetheless. Satan hates and wants to destroy the Jews (partly because he knows God will use them in the culmination of things in the last days to end Satan’s days). The replacement view of the Jews can start “innocently” by saying the Jews and Israel are no longer significant with regard to Bible prophecy. Then the descent begins with statements that the Jews are not all moral people to fake rumors that they control the world or that the Jews are not really Jews. From there, it is not a giant step to being absorbed into outright antisemitism. Let’s just take a brief look at Alice Bailey and then Adolph Hitler and see what they thought about the Jews.

Alice Bailey

Consider this statement by Alice Bailey in her book The Externalization of the Hierarchy in the section titled, “The Hidden Source of the Outer Turmoil” where she describes one of the “Dark Forces”¹ that is hindering her Utopian New Age/Aquarian world from materializing:

The force emanating from that section of humanity which is found in every part of the world and which we call the Jewish people. What I say here has no specific reference to any individual; I am considering the world problem, centering around the Jews as a whole. . . .²

She continues in her diatribe against the Jewish race:

The Jew, down the ages, has insisted upon being separated from all other races but he brought over from the previous system the knowledge (necessary then but obsolete now) that his race was the “chosen people.” The “Wandering Jew” has wandered from System One to this where he must learn the lesson of absorption and cease his wandering. He has insisted upon racial purity. . . . This insistence has been carried down the ages. . . .

When humanity has solved the Jewish problem (with the understanding cooperation of the Jew) and overcome ancient antipathies and hatreds, it will do so by fusing the problem in one vast humanitarian situation. When that happens, the problem will be rapidly solved and one of the major difficulties [i.e., the Jews as a people group] will disappear off the face of the earth. Racial fusion will then be possible. Our earth humanity and the group of human beings who are far more ancient in their origin than we are, will form one humanity and then there will be peace on earth. . . .

The solution will come, as I said, when the races regard the Jewish problem as a humanitarian problem but also when the Jew does his share of understanding, love and right action. This he does not yet do, speaking racially. He must let go of his own separative tendencies and of his deep sense of persecution.³

In other words, the Jews as a people should disappear off the face of the Earth!

Oneness Versus Separation

It is worth noting here Alice Bailey’s demeaning references to “separation.” Former New Age follower Warren B. Smith addresses this in his booklet Oneness Versus Separation Heresy Now in the Church:

[F]rom a New Age perspective, “Oneness vs. Separation” juxtaposes two prevailing but opposing worldviews against each other. “Oneness,” being hailed as the “loving” and spiritually correct worldview, will produce global unity, world peace, and a “happy” humanity. Contrarily, “Separation” is described as a “hateful” and spiritually divisive worldview that prevents global unity, prevents world peace, and produces a “fearful” and unhappy humanity.⁴

Bailey believed that the Jewish people, because of their separateness, were preventing the world from coming into a place of oneness. But this “Doctrine of Oneness”⁵ and rejection of “separation” is completely contrary to what the God of the Bible and Creator of the universe has ordained where from the beginning of mankind, God has stated that there is separation between man and God and where God says, “I am the LORD; that is My name. And My glory will I not give to another” (Isaiah 42:8). In fact, oneness is the essence of the New Age movement where man is said to share God’s divinity and there is no separation between God and man. And New Agers, such as Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations With God author), share in Bailey’s rejection of separation, to the point where Walsch actually claims that because there is no separation (e.g., between good and bad, right and wrong) that even Hitler will be in Heaven.⁶

Throughout the Bible, there is one example after the next of how God is a God of separation (e.g., Heaven or Hell, the sheep or the goats, light or darkness). And one of the most significant separations He has created to show His glory is the forming of a separate nation (the Jews) with whom He made an everlasting covenant and through whom our Savior came. And Satan has been trying to destroy the Jews since their inception.

Bailey’s desire to see the Jews (as a separate people) become extinct is part of a satanic maneuver to thwart God’s plan. And these views fed right into the man who slaughtered six million of God’s chosen people.

Hitler

We obviously know without a doubt that Hitler did not consider the Jews God’s “chosen people.” Rather, he wanted to eliminate them from the face of the Earth. But where did he come up with this demonic evil idea? While there are different factors involved in the answer to that question, researcher and author Mike Oppenheimer provides the documentation to show what was perhaps the greatest influence on Hitler and his views about the Jewish people:

Hitler’s ideas about the Aryan race came from the Thule Society. Thule was supposedly a lost island inhabited by an ancient race that were “masters of wisdom” (much like the mythology of Atlantis or Lemuria and the spiritual hierarchy, the White Brotherhood today). Though unseen, they are superior highly intelligent beings working behind the scenes (as Benjamin Crème states). Hitler believed he was in contact with them and that they gave him power and energy. Through his alleged contacts with this mythical superior race, he believed he was destined to lead the Aryans to rule the world. Hitler’s vision of the world was that Germany would unite the world under his leadership which would last for 1,000 years.⁷

Oppenheimer explains that the late Constance Cumbey [d. 2025], in her classic ground-breaking book The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, summarized Hitler’s path to being Germany’s messianic figure. Cumbey stated:

While still a very young child, Hitler was initiated into the finer mysteries of the occult. He attended a Benedictine monastery school near his German home. . . . The occult interests Hitler gained in this school, stayed with him all of his adult life and helped to shape his future spiritual philosophy.⁸

Mike Oppenheimer continues:

Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels were Catholic in their background before they indulged themselves into a new spiritual worldview. Occult books were some of Hitler’s favorite reading. It was in the early 1920s Dietrich Eckart introduced Hitler to The Secret Doctrine, by [Helen] Blavatsky. He was taught its secrets by Professor-General Karl Haushofer (Suster), who was a member of the Berlin Lodge of the Vril Society. One of the primary qualifications for one to be admitted to the Vril Society was to have a minimum ability in Blavatsky’s “Secret Doctrine.” Karl Haushofer was alleged to be a master of the secret doctrines espoused by Blavatsky, and it was he who initiated prisoner Adolf Hitler at Landsberg Prison.⁹

Cumbey notes: “Hitler rightly believed he had established communication with Lucifer, from whom he openly coveted possession.”¹⁰ It should not be surprising to find that he was led to The Secret Doctrine that glorifies Lucifer.

The “Secret Doctrines” held that they originated in Atlantis and that one of the seven Atlantean races was that of the Aryans. The Aryans were the master-race or supermen of the Atlantean races. The myth of Aryan superiority was the basis for Hitler’s Nazism and ethnic cleansing of the Jews. . . .

Hitler seemed to have favored Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine above other books he had. We do know that U.S. Army historians catalogued Hitler’s personal library and found numerous occultic volumes heavily annotated in Hitler’s fancy handwriting. “Among the books was one that Hitler often kept by his bedside, the occult standard The Secret Doctrine by Madame Helen P. Blavatsky.”¹¹

Blavatsky not only claimed these masters were directing the work of the Theosophical Society but were also guiding the evolution of the human race throughout history. Thus, Hitler found his place in the grand scheme of these masters.¹²

We can easily say that Helen Blavatsky shared a similar view about the Jews as Alice Bailey. In fact, Bailey probably got at least some of her antisemitic views from Blavatsky. In her book The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky wrote:

Judaism, built solely on phallic worship, has become one of the latest creeds in Asia, and theologically a religion of hate and malice toward everyone and everything outside itself.¹³

Blavatsky also said the Jews were “degenerate in spirituality.”¹⁴

Replacement Theology

Those who adhere to Replacement Theology may think it’s preposterous to say there is a connection between them and what Alice Bailey and Adolph Hitler thought about the Jews. But in all three cases, the Jews are considered obsolete and even harmful to the world. Some Replacement Theology followers may say that while they view the Jews as obsolete in the large scheme of things, they don’t hate them or see them as harmful. But there are many out there of the Replacement Theology persuasion who have come to hate the Jews and who believe terrible lies about them such as the lie that says the Jews control the world. Talk about preposterous—if that were true, then why are there only about fifteen million of them on the Earth today? Frankly, once someone believes that the Jews are obsolete (a view that the Bible rejects wholeheartedly), that person has opened a door that can very easily lead to outright antisemitism, which we believe is a satanically inspired viewpoint.

Conclusion

Demonic influences have worked their way into the church and altered the way Christians think about the Jews, Israel, and the Word of God. It’s tragic to think about Martin Luther and how he turned against the Jews in a most vehement manner (as can be read in his book, The Jews and Their Lies); then Hitler, centuries later, used the sentiments of Luther to convince the German people that the Jews were an inferior and evil people so that he could more easily commit the horrendous atrocities against them in his attempt at the genocide of the Jewish race.¹⁵

In Mike Oppenheimer’s booklet, Israel: Replacing What God Has Not, he offers some valuable insights. In closing, here are two paragraphs from that booklet:

At a time when a clear and biblically sound understanding of Bible prophecy is most important, we find the church, paradoxically, having less knowledge of it, especially as it relates directly to Israel. Most evangelical Christians throughout history have supported the Jews and the modern state of Israel, but things are changing. The church, from its infancy, believed God had a future plan for Israel based on Scripture (e.g., Acts 3:19). This plan included the national restoration of Israel to the same land, from which they had been eventually dispersed. As time went on and the church drifted further and further away from her Jewish beginnings, many began to erroneously believe the church had replaced Israel. But in this day and age when we see biblical prophecy being fulfilled on such an unprecedented and unparalleled scale—with God’s continual protection and restoration of the Jews to their land, there should not be those who walk in disbelief with regard to God’s promises. But there are! . . .

God says that we are to bless them and not curse or turn against them. Of the Jew, Paul stated “unto them were committed the oracles of God” (Romans 3:2). Jesus Himself said that “salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22). And though they have been dispersed throughout the world, God has blessed and prospered them wherever they went. We, therefore, owe a great debt to the Jewish people; and Israel is still Israel and will continue to have a special place in God’s heart and significance in the future of our planet.¹⁶

Thanks (not) to New Agers like Alice Bailey or Neale Donald Walsch (who said in his book, which sold millions of copies, that Hitler did the Jews a favor by killing them¹⁷) or figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens (who have spread antisemitic lies to millions of proclaiming Christians), people’s (including many evangelicals and other Protestants) views of the Jews and Israel are fast changing.

When you consider how antisemitism is growing throughout the world, as Christians, let us ask ourselves, “Are we to think as the world thinks? Are we to think as occultists think?” God forbid. Remember, God says of the Jew:

For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. (Zechariah 2:8; emphasis added)

---

*Replacement Theology is the belief that God has broken His eternal covenant with Israel and the Jewish people and that the church has replaced Israel and the Jewish people. Thus, in the scheme of end-time biblical prophecy and current events in the world today, Israel and the Jewish people have no relevance or significance.
