of everybody had now been met. I recently
attended a lecture by a professor of theology,
who stated that Jesus never uttered those
words on the cross. What he was ultimately
saying was that the completion and existence
of the lifeboat was being scientifically/theologically
ignored.
Those in group P4 will receive the wages of living
a lie: “If anyone’s name was not found written in
the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of
fire” (Rev 20:15).
The chapter about the book of life has been especially
written for people in groups P2 and P3.
Please read this section as a special personal
message to you.
The Gustloff and the Titanic:
further details
The ship Wilhelm Gustloff: The keel of “Ship
No 511” was laid in August 1935, and it was
launched on the fifth of May 1937 in the shipyard
of Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, in the presence
of Adolf Hitler. Its length was 208.5 m, its
beam measured 23.5 m, and its gross registered
tonnage was 25,484. It was powered by four
eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines driving
twin propellers. During the 17 months from its
maiden voyage until August 1939, it undertook
44 voyages carrying a total of 65,000 tourists.
After the catastrophe of 30 January 1945 only
one fifth of the passengers (1,252 persons) were
rescued; in all, 9,343 people perished.
The man Wilhelm Gustloff: He was born on the
30th of January 1895 in Schwerin near Hamburg,
exactly 50 years, to the day, before the ship sank.
The Nazis seized power in Germany on the 30th
of January 1933, and exactly 12 years later the
ship came to grief. Gustloff joined the Nazi Party
in 1929, and he became the national group
leader for Switzerland in 1932. On the 4th of
February 1936 he was fatally wounded in his
house in Davos, shot by a 27 year old Jewish
medical student. This student, David Frankfurter,
arrived in Davos on the 30th of January 1936.
Interestingly, the same date turns up four times.
On February the 12th Wilhelm Gustloff was
buried with great fanfare as ordered by Göbbels,
the Minister of Propaganda. There were 35,000
mourners in Schwerin, including many VIPs of
the Third Reich. In his funeral oration Hitler said
that Gustloff’s death would be an eternal legacy
for future generations of the German nation. He
had thus decided to name this, the first working
ship commissioned by the Nazi Party, the Wilhelm
Gustloff. This ship is a reminder of one of
the darkest chapters of German history.
The sinking of the Gustloff: Hit by three torpedoes,
the Wilhelm Gustloff sinks while listing badly to port.
Those of the 6,600 passengers and crew who are still
alive now begin a life-and-death struggle for survival.
