Historians are divided, he is on record of praising Jesus. You are not going to suggest he was a pagan are you
Hitler's early policy speeches showed "a sincere appreciation of Christianity as a value system to be upheld",[12] and he personally believed in an active God, which he expressed as "Providence",[13] although historian Percy Ernst Schramm, analyzing the recorded and transcribed table talk with his entourage states that "For Jesus as a Savior there was, of course, no room in Hitler's view of things, but he recognized Jesus' human greatness."[13] Indeed, Hitler held Jesus in high esteem as an "Aryan fighter" who struggled against "the power and pretensions of the corrupt Pharisees"[13] and Jewish materialism.[14] While a small number of writers accept his publicly stated views as genuine expressions of his spirituality,[12] the vast majority believe that Hitler was skeptical of churches generally – although he "freely acknowledged the religious needs of the masses"[13] – but recognized that he could only be elected and preserve his political power if he feigned a commitment to and belief in Christianity, which the overwhelming majority of Germans believed in.[15] Hitler himself told confidants that his reluctance to make public attacks on the Church was not a matter of principle, but a pragmatic political move.[16] In his private diaries, Goebbels wrote in April 1941 that though Hitler was "a fierce opponent" of the Vatican and Christianity, "he forbids me to leave the church. For tactical reasons."[17]

Proverbs 8:22-24 ¶ The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
These few verse tell us not only about Jesus, but these Bible verses if we can trust God in preserving them as he said he would (Ps12:6,7), are chronological, then Jesus was lifted up before the Earth was made, before there was a depth to the Abode of God, the third heaven, but like what we see in
Rev 21:1 ¶ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. The new earth had no sea, there was no more sea only the river of life that flowed from the throne.

In summary, the earth was created originally for the exaltation of Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God,

For man still had to be created and left to his free will and we know how that affected us all.

Though I have very little amount of scripture to go by I still see this as a possible meaning of what Jesus Christ meant when he said the scriptures testify of him. I look forward with all the redeemed of the LORD in Praising and exalting the Lord Jesus Christ forever in the New Jerusalem and through out the new heaven.

Isaiah 53 and Psalms 22 are all about Jesus and what would happen to him.

There are many other verses pertaining to Jesus in the Old Testament,

Luke 24:44
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
John 5:46-47
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Isaiah is a call for Zion as stated by Isaiah 52. It's about the people of Zion ( Israel ).
Psalms 22 is David's saying. Jesus would never say such things because Jesus had already knew what's coming to him and prepared himself to be the lamb of God.
I believe they're referring to YHWH. Not Jesus.

The fact is, Moses only converse with God, YHWH. Not Jesus at Mount Sinai as stated by Exodus, which Matthew and Luke clearly referred to.
Jesus doesn't exist in Moses timeline. It was YHWH who instructed Moses to wrote the Ten Commandment. It was YHWH law written by Moses. Not Jesus. The New Testament authors simply refer to the event in Exodus.

Proverb 8 is about the teaching of wisdom to all mankind.
John and Luke were teaching the way of Jesus to heaven.
Those two are not relevant to each other and serve different purpose.
Again, Proverb 8 in no way mentioned Jesus as the Wisdom of God. It only refer Wisdom as She.
