    In literal terms yes, but it sounds like this is used very differently

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_vult

    Deus vult (Latin for ‘God wills it’) is a Christian motto historically tied to ideas of divine providence and individual interpretation of God’s will

    […]

    Deus vult has been adopted as a slogan by a variety of Christian right and Christian nationalist groups, as well as alt-right and white supremacist groups. This usage was disseminated widely online, through hashtags and internet memes. Crusader memes (such as an image of a Knight Templar accompanied by the caption “I’ll see your jihad and raise you one crusade”) are popular on far-right internet pages.
