July 29, 1942: Eduard Schulte and Heinrich Himmler

Ten days later on June 5, I made another interesting discovery. While watching a documentary on the rise of the Nazis, it suddenly crossed my mind to check if anything significant happened at Auschwitz in 1942, given that the first visit on October 7 was the 19th chronological, and 42nd inspired visit to Auschwitz respectively. Putting those two numbers together, you get the number 1942.
As it happens, 1942 was a significant year indeed.

According to the official Auschwitz memorial website, 1942 was the year that mass gassing of Jews began at Auschwitz. More importantly, however, in this context, on July 29, 1942, prominent German industrialist Eduard Schulte leaked information to the Allies about the Nazis plan to exterminate all the Jews in Europe, known as the “Final Solution”. Schulte is considered one of the first people to inform the west about Germany’s plans for the Jews.
What is interesting about that, is that July 29 was the very date that God inspired this visit to Auschwitz, occurring precisely 70 days later on October 7.

Furthermore, in Schulte’s report, he mentions that Heinrich Himmler – head of the SS, and considered the main architect of the Final Solution, was present at the killing of 499 Jews at Auschwitz in July, using Zyklon-B – the gas used to exterminate them. What is interesting about that, is that Heinrich Himmler was born on October 7, 1900 – the very day I was due to visit Auschwitz some 122 years later!

So there were two dates that I knew nothing about when God inspired this visit, but both had significant meaning relating to Auschwitz and the Holocaust.

Originally, this visit was the 15th to occur in chronological order, but because God added a further four visits after this one that were to occur prior to it, it became the 19th instead. Thus, it was the 19th in chronological order, but the 42nd inspired visit. If this visit didn’t become the 19th to occur, then these two dates would have remained a mystery to me.

Another significant event occurred on October 7, 1944 – Himmler’s 44th birthday, with the revolt of the Jewish Sonderkommando – Jewish prisoners who were forced to work in the crematorium to dispose of other Jews who had been killed in the gas chambers. Upon learning that the majority of them were going to be killed, they rose up and set fire to a crematorium at Auschwitz, attacked SS guards, and attempted to escape. The revolt was ultimately put down, and hundreds were killed that day. Their original intention was to blow up the gas chambers and crematorium with smuggled in gun powder, but having learned that they were going to be liquidated, they launched the revolt instead, on what happened to be Himmler’s birthday.

Hamas, the Third Jewish Temple, October 7 & the Red Heifer

On April 9 at 8:14 p.m., three days after God inspired my visit to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, He brought Auschwitz to mind for a 57th time, and I was led to August 28, 2024 as the date to visit it. That meant I would leave Israel that day, and visit Auschwitz that same day in Poland, leaving Israel on my 18th day. This visit to Auschwitz was inspired 2 hours and 9 minutes after sunset at 6:05 p.m., or at the start of the 3rd hour of the Jewish night. This was now the third visit to Auschwitz that God had inspired for this trip, being inspired exactly one Hebrew month since the first (2 Adar II – 2 Nisan, 5784). Interestingly, the first visit was inspired on March 12 at 1:29 p.m., and this visit was inspired on April 9, 129 minutes after sunset, echoing the time of the original visit, 28 days earlier! So, quite an unusual coincidence there, although I assume that was intentional on God’s behalf, to prove that He was behind it. It was inspired exactly four months to the d...

The Great Commission

The following day on Friday, April 26 at 8:58 p.m., 3 hours and 19 minutes (199 mins) after sunset, God brought the town of Capernaum in Galilee, Israel to mind, and I was led to August 14, 2024 as the date to visit it – 3 months and 19 days away. Amazingly, the length of time it was after sunset matched the exact time in months and days it was away until my visit to Capernaum! (3 hours, 19 minutes / 3 months, 19 days). I didn’t actually discover that until starting to write this paragraph the following day! So, yet again, that was just another way that God proved that He was the inspiration behind this visit, and it didn’t just come from my head! Capernaum was the location next to the Sea of Galilee where Jesus lived and performed many of His miracles in the surrounding area during His ministry. He also famously condemned it for not repenting, despite the many miracles performed there (Matthew 11:23 & Luke 10:15). This visit was inspired in the 3rd hour of the Jewish night, and as...

The Number 17

Here are some discoveries that I made with regards to the most recent trip to Israel that God inspired. They revolve around the number 17. Here is what I found: The trip begins on the 17th of Tammuz (Fast of Tammuz marking the breach of Jerusalem’s walls by the Romans in 70 A.D., prior to the destruction of the 2nd Temple) The trip ends on the 17th of Elul, exactly two Hebrew months later (The anniversary of the start of WWII in 1939 – (Sep 1) The first and last destinations on the trip were inspired exactly 17 weeks apart (Taupo & Tutukaka) There are 17 days between the first and second destinations on the trip The first visit to Israel is to last 17 days (Aug 11–28) The Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth was inspired on the 17th of Nisan (a potential resurrection date of Jesus), and was due to occur on August 17th The first and last inspired visits to Jerusalem were inspired exactly 17 weeks apart in the ...
