Shalom All:

The History channel presented a program of the General Slocum disaster in New
York's Hell Gate in June 15, 1904.  1,021 lives ended, mostly women and
children, due to neglect and greed!

Here is one website relating to the event.  You can find others.

As I watched the History presenation PROPHETIC, PROPHETIC, PROPHETIC kept
racing in my mind!

Please, please, continue to clinging to YESHUA and YESHUA alone!  What is
about to come upon the earth will be horrific!

The ship's crew were not prepared for the fire.  The life-boats where ATTACHED
to the ship because they had been "in-the-way"!  The fire hoses were rotten
and had not been used/inspected/replaced and were in such bad shape they
leaked and exploded when the crew tried to use them!  The life preservers,
filled with cork, had disintegrated to dust.

PS  St. Mark's Lutheran Church building stands yet today ... and is now ... a
Synoguge!!!!
