Marx and Satan

Marx and Satan by Richard Wurmbrand

Blasphemous Versions of the Lord’s Prayer

The  Soviet  newspaper  Sovietskaia  Molodioj,  February  14,  1976,  added  a  new  and shattering proof of the connections between Marxism and Satanism. It described how militant  Communists  stormed  churches  and  mocked  God  under  the  Czaristregime. For this purpose the Communists used a blasphemous version of the “Our Father”:

Our Father, which art in Petersburg [today, Leningrad],

Cursed be your name,

May your Kingdom crumble,

May your will not be fulfilled, yea, not even in hell.

Give us our bread which you stole from us,

And pay our debts, as we paid yours until now.

And don’t lead us further into temptation,

But deliver us from evil – the police of Plehve [the Czarist prime minister],

And put an end to his cursed government.

But as you are weak and poor in spirit and in power and in authority,

Down with you for all eternity. Amen.

The ultimate aim of communism in conquering new countries is not to establish another social or economic system. It is to mock God and praise Satan.

The German Socialist Student Union also published a parody of the Lord’s Prayer, indicating that the “true” meaning of the prayer upholds capitalism:

Our Capital, which art in the West,

May your investments be sure,

May you make a profit.

May your shares increase in value,

On Wall Street as in Europe.

Our daily sale give us today, and extend our credits,

As we extend those of our debtors.

And do not lead us into bankruptcy,

But deliver us from the trade unions,

For thine is half the world and the power, and the riches, for 200 years.

Mammon.

The identification of Christianity with the interests of capitalism is outrageous. The true church knows that capitalism, too, is stained with blood, for every economic system bears the marks of sin. Christians oppose communism not from the viewpoint of capitalism, but of the kingdom of God, which is their true social ideal. The above is nothing less than Satanic mockery of Jesus’ most holy prayer, as is the one published by the Soviets.

Mockery of the Lord’s Prayer is customary in many Communist lands. Ethiopian children were taught to pray as follows:

Our Party which rulest in the Soviet Union,

Hallowed be thy name,

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done in Ethiopia and in the whole world.
