Had a quick “flash” vision in dreaming of the Statue of Liberty under
water, with water churning, up to about waist level on the statue. The
skies were storm ridden in the background. With Hurricane Larry, my
gut tells me it may turn into a cat 5.

When reading your post I saw this..,the statue of
liberty sinking in the gulf of mexico...then reminded by
an old vision by a a allen i read on the net a long tI'm
ago....

https://enochspage.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/vision-of-
the-destruction-of-america/

By A. A. Allen, July 4, 1954, atop the Empire State
Building...(establishing timeframe if his vision)


....
North American Continent...
That morning much of the view was impaired by fog; but
suddenly as the Spirit of the Lord came upon me, the fog
seemed to clear until it seemed that I could see for
thousands of miles, but that which I was looking upon
was not Manhattan Island. It was all of the North
American continent spread out before me as a map is
spread upon a table. It was not the East River and the
Hudson River that I saw on either side, but the Atlantic
and the Pacific Oceans; and instead of the Statue of
Liberty standing there in the bay on her small island, I
saw her standing far out in the Gulf of Mexico. She was
between me and the United States. I suddenly realized
that the telescope had nothing to do with what I was
seeing but that it was a vision coming directly from
God; and to prove this to myself, I took my eyes away
from the telescope so that I was no longer looking
through the lens, but the same scene remained before me.

Great Cities....
There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American
continent with all its great cities. To the north lay
the Great Lakes. Far to the northeast was New York City.
I could see Seattle and Portland far to the northwest.
Down the west coast there were San Francisco and Los
Angeles. Closer in the foreground lay New Orleans at the
center of the Gulf Coast area. I could see the great
towering ranges of the Rocky Mountains and trace with my
eye the Continental Divide. All this and more I could
see spread out before me as a great map upon a table.

Gigantic Hand....
As I looked, suddenly from the sky I saw a giant hand
reach down. That gigantic hand was reaching out toward
the Statue of Liberty. In a moment her gleaming torch
was torn from her hand, and in it instead was placed a
cup; and I saw protruding from that great cup a giant
sword, shining as if a great light had been turned upon
its glistening edge. Never before had I seen such a
sharp, glistening, dangerous sword. It seemed to
threaten all the world. As the great cup was placed in
the hand of the Statue of Liberty, I heard these words,
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, drink you and be drunken
and spew and fall and rise no more because of the sword
which I will send.” As I heard these words, I recognized
them as a quotation from Jeremiah 25:27. I was amazed to
hear the Statue of Liberty speak out in reply, “I WILL
NOT DRINK!” Then as the voice of the thunder, I heard
again the voice of the Lord saying, “You shall certainly
drink” (Jeremiah 25:28). Then suddenly the giant hand
forced the cup to the lips of the Statue of Liberty, and
she became powerless to defend herself. The mighty hand
of God forced her to drink every drop from the cup. As
she drank the bitter dregs, these were the words that I
heard: “Should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not
be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon all the
inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts”
(Jeremiah 27:29)

War, Death, and Destruction....
When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statute
of Liberty, I noticed the sword was missing from the
cup, which could mean but one thing. THE CONTENTS OF THE
CUP HAD BEEN COMPLETELY CONSUMED! I knew that the sword
merely typified war, death, and destruction, which is no
doubt on the way. Then as one drunken on too much wine,
I saw the Statue of Liberty become unsteady on her feet
and begin to stagger and to lose her balance. I saw her
splashing in the gulf, trying to regain her balance. I
saw her stagger again and again and fall to her knees.
As I saw her desperate attempts to regain her balance
and rise to her feet again, my heart was moved as never
before with compassion for her struggles; but as she
staggered there in the gulf, once again I heard these
words: “Drink you and be drunken and spew and fall and
rise no more because of the sword which I will send
among you” (Jeremiah 25:37).

As I watched, I wondered if the Statue of Liberty would
ever be able to regain her feet, if she would ever stand
again; and as I watched, it seemed that with all her
power she struggled to rise and finally staggered to her
feet again and stood there swaying drunkenly. I felt
sure that at any moment she would fall again, possibly
never to rise. I seemed overwhelmed with a desire to
reach out my hand to keep her head above water, for I
knew that if she ever fell again, she would drown there
in the gulf. “Thou shalt not be afraid for the by night,
nor for the arrow that flies by day, nor for the
pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the
destruction that wastes at noonday” (Psalms 91:5-6).

Black Cloud Rising....
Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking
place. Far to the northwest, just out over Alaska, a
huge, black cloud was arising. As it rose, it was as
black as night. It seemed to be in the shape of a man’s
head. As it continued to arise, I observed two light
spots in the black cloud. It rose further, and a gaping
hole appeared. I could see that the black cloud was
taking the shape of a skull, for now the huge, white,
gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally, the head was
complete. Then the shoulders began to appear; and on
either side, long, black arms.

Skeleton Destroys Multitudes....
It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American
continent, spread out like a map upon a table with this
terrible skeleton-formed cloud arising from behind the
table. It rose steadily until the form was visible down
to the waist. At the waist the skeleton seemed to bend
toward the United States, stretching forth a hand toward
the east and one toward the west, one toward New York
and one toward Seattle. As the awful form stretched
forward, I could see that its entire attention seemed to
be focused upon the United States, overlooking Canada at
least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black
cloud in the form of a skeleton bending toward America,
bending from the waist over, reaching down toward
Chicago and out toward both coasts, I knew its one
interest was to destroy the multitudes.

Mortal Agony....
As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped
just above the Great Lakes region and turned its face
toward New York City. Then out of the horrible, great
gaping mouth began to appear wisps of white vapor which
looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would blow
puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were
being blown toward New York City. The smoke began to
spread until it had covered all the eastern part of the
United States. Then the skeleton turned to the west and
out of the horrible mouth and nostrils came another
great puff of white smoke. This time it was blown in the
direction of the west coast. In a few moments’ time the
entire West Coast and Los Angeles area were covered with
its vapors.

Then toward the center came a third great puff. As I
watched, St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its
white vapors. Then on they came toward New Orleans. Then
on they swept until they reached the Statue of Liberty
where she stood staggering drunkenly in the blue waters
of the gulf. As the white vapors began to spread around
the head of the statue, she took in but one gasping
breath and then began to cough as though to rid her
lungs of the horrible vapors she had inhaled. One could
readily discern by the coughing that those white vapors
had seared her lungs. What were these white vapors?
Could they signify bacteriological warfare or nerve gas
that could destroy multitudes of people in a few
moments’ time? Then I heard the voice of God as He spoke
again: “Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes
it waste and turns it upside-down and scatters abroad
the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the
people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with
his master; as with the maid, so with her ; as with the
buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with
the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the
giver of usury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied
and utterly spoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word.
The earth mourns and fates away. The world languishes
and fates away. The haughty people of the earth do
languish. The earth also is defiled under the
inhabitants thereof because they have transgressed the
laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting
covenant; therefore, has the curse devoured the earth,
and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the
inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left”
(Isaiah 24:1-6)

As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a
person about to cough out his lungs. The Statue of
Liberty was moaning and groaning. She was in mortal
agony. The pain must have been terrific, as again and
again she tried to clear her lungs of those horrible
white vapors. I watched her there in the gulf as she
staggered, clutching her lungs and her breast with her
hands. Then she fell to her knees. In a moment she gave
one final cough, made a last desperate effort to rise
from her knees, and then fell face forward into the
waters of the gulf and lay still as . Tears ran down my
face as I realized that she was ! Only the lapping of
the waves, splashing over her body which was partly
under the water and partly out of the water, broke the
stillness.

“A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame
burns; the land is as the Garden of Eden before them,
and behind them a desolate wilderness, yea, and nothing
shall escape them”. Screaming of Sirens Suddenly the
silence was shattered by the screaming of sirens. The
sirens seemed to scream, “RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”

Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens.
They seemed to be everywhere to the north, the south,
the east, and the west. There seemed to be multitudes of
sirens; and as I looked, I saw people everywhere
running, but it seemed none of them ran more than a few
paces, and then they fell. And even as I had seen the
Statue of Liberty struggling to regain her poise and
balance and finally falling for the last time to die on
her face, I now saw millions of people falling in the
streets, on the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their
screams for mercy and help. I heard their horrible
coughing as though their lungs had been seared with
fire. I heard the moanings and groanings of the doomed
and the dying. As I watched, a few finally reached
shelters, but only a few ever got to the shelters.

Above the moaning and the groaning of the dying
multitudes, I heard these words: “A noise shall come
even to the ends of the earth, for the Lord has a
controversy with the nations. He will plead with all
flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword,
says the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil
shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great
whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the
earth, and the slain of the Lord shall be at that day
from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the
earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor
buried; they shall be dung upon the ground” (Jeremiah
25:31-33).

Rocket Missile Attacks...
Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the
Pacific and out of the Gulf rocket-like objects that
seemed to come up like fish leaping out of the water.
High into the air they leaped, each headed in a
different direction, but every one toward the United
States. On the ground the sirens screamed louder, and up
from the ground I saw similar rockets beginning to
ascend. To me these appeared to be interceptor rockets
although they arose from different points all over the
United States; however, none of them seemed to be
successful in intercepting the rockets that had risen
from the ocean on every side. These rockets finally
reached their maximum height, slowly turned over and
fell back toward the earth in defeat. Then suddenly the
rockets which had leaped out of the oceans like fish all
exploded at once. The explosion was ear-splitting. The
next thing which I saw was a huge ball of fire. The only
thing I have ever seen which resembled the thing I saw
in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the H-
bomb somewhere in the South Pacific. In my vision it was
so real that I seemed to feel a searing heat from it.

Widespread Desolation....
As the vision spread before my eyes and I viewed the
widespread desolation brought about by the terrific
explosions, I could not help thinking, While the
defenders of our nation have quibbled over what means of
defense to use and neglected the only true means of
defense faith and dependence upon the true and living
God the thing which she greatly feared has come unto
her! How true it has proven in Psalms 127:1: Except the
Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it;
except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in
vain.”

Then as the noise of battle subsided, to my ears came
this quotation: “Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an
alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of
the land tremble, for the day of the Lord comes, for it
is nigh at hand. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a
day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning
spread upon the mountains, a great people and a strong,
there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any
more after it, even to the years of many generations. A
fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns;
the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and
behind them a desolate wilderness, yea, and nothing
shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the
appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they
run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains
shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that
devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle
array. Before their face the people shall be much
pained; all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run
like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of
war, and they shall march every one on his ways, and
they shall not break their ranks. Neither shall one
thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path;
and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be
wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they
shall run upon the wall; they shall climb up upon the
houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a
thief.  The earth shall quake before them; the heavens
shall tremble; the sun and the moon shall be dark,, and
the stars shall withdraw their shining” (Joel 2:1-10).

The Silence of....
Then the voice was still. The earth, too was silent with
the silence of . Then to my ears came another sound a
sound of distant singing. It was the sweetest music I
had ever heard. There was joyful shouting and sounds of
happy laughter. Immediately I knew it was the rejoicing
of the saints of God. I looked, and there, high in the
heavens, above the smoke and poisonous gases, above the
noise of the battle, I saw a huge mountain. It seemed to
be of solid rock, and I knew at once that this was the
Mountain of the Lord. The sounds of music and rejoicing
were coming from a cleft high up in the side of the rock
mountain.

Hidden in the Cleft....
It was the saints of God who were doing the rejoicing.
It was God’s own people who were singing and dancing and
shouting with joy, safe from all the harm which had come
upon the earth, for they were hidden away in the cleft
of the rock. There in the cleft they were shut in,
protected by a great, giant hand which reached out of
the heavens and which was none other than the hand of
God, shutting them in until the storm be over passed.
....

I myself had a few similiar type dreams that may be in
sync to this dream/vision too somehow...

That picture looks similar to what I saw, but I was seeing it from a
partial side view and I know in the dream I was seeing it from the
south and the northern sky was behind the statue? The sky was
much darker. I had a dream years ago where I saw the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico up to the Arizona/ New Mexico and the waters were
all churned up and murky.

The cup is symbolic for the cup of judgement
The sword as in the great sword in revs aka the 4
horsemen and in the old testament... is symbolic of war
or wars...
America will fall due to war or wars aka via the
sword...the sword is biblically symbolic of war...

Black Cloud reminds of the black horserman of revs..I
think in chapter 6 about the 7 seals...

Back means famine as in
hyperinflation...well...definitely inflation a quart of
wheat for a denari aka a day's wages...also the beasts
of the earth...I'm getting the word...'viruses' for some
very odd reason...'pestilences'...but also wild animals
too...I'm also getting the word 'rationing'... re the
scales of the black horseman. Black is symbolic of
mourning btw... as in sackcloth and ashes re old
testament...

Revs 6....

The Seven Seals

1Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven
seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say
with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2And I looked, and
behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a
crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and
to conquer.

3When he opened the second seal, I heard the second
living creature say, “Come!” 4And out came another
horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace
from the earth, so that people should slay one another,
and he was given a great sword.

5When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black
horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his
hand. 6And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the
midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of
wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a
denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”

7When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of
the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8And I looked,
and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was
Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given
authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword
and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts
of the earth.

9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
the souls of those who had been slain for the word of
God and for the witness they had borne. 10They cried out
with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how
long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those
who dwell on the earth?” 11Then they were each given a
white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the
number of their fellow servants and their
brothersc should be complete, who were to be killed as
they themselves had been.

12When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold,
there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black
as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13and the
stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds
its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14The sky
vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and
every mountain and island was removed from its
place. 15Then the kings of the earth and the great ones
and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and
everyone, slaved and free, hid themselves in the caves
and among the rocks of the mountains, 16calling to the
mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the
face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb, 17for the great day of their wrath
has come, and who can stand?”
.....

White vapor out if the black skull. ..I'm getting that
mortal man is but a vapour!!??... that's a scripture
verse but where did I read that??? Found it...

James 4...
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go
to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on
business, and make a profit.” 14You do not even
know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You
are a mist/vapour that appears for a little
while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say,
“If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or
that.”…

Psalms 144...
Why do we humans mean anything
to you, our LORD?
Why do you care about us?
4 We disappear like a breath;
we last no longer
than a faint shadow.
....

Fire us symbolic of judgement and also wrath...

K...yet another image now of america split into 3
pieces. A usa military guy spoke of it a drew a map of
it as well...then seeing a few very small communities
and basic living...kinda like the colonial days or when
people first came to America in wagons and set up
homesteads and tilled the lands sorta thing...I'm
hearing the words..'the aftermath' btw....

....but also getting 2 esdras 11 and 2 esdras 12 as
well..???? ...wth?!

2 esdras 12....

10 He said to me, “This is the interpretation of this
vision that you have seen: 

***11 The eagle that you saw coming up from the sea (sea
of nations,peoples,tribes and tongues/languages) is the
fourth kingdom that appeared in a vision to your brother
Daniel.(but also in the book of revs chapter 13!!! Same
thing, same beast empire same event sorta
thingy!) 12 But it was not explained to him as I now
explain to you or have explained it. 

13 The days are coming when a kingdom shall rise on
earth, and it shall be more terrifying than all the
kingdoms that have been before it. 14 And twelve
kings/leaders/prez??? shall reign in it, one after
another. 15 But the second that is to reign shall hold
sway for a longer time than any other one of the
twelve. 16 This is the interpretation of the twelve
wings that you saw.

17 “As for your hearing a voice ( as in the spokeperson
for the eagle composite beast empire) that spoke, coming
not from the eagle’s heads but from the midst of its
body, (the usa) this is the interpretation: 

***18 In the midst of the time of that kingdom great
struggles shall arise, and it shall be in danger of
falling; nevertheless it shall not fall then, but shall
regain its former power. 19 As for your seeing eight
little wings clinging to its wings, this is the
interpretation: 20 Eight kings/leaders shall arise in
it, whose times shall be short and their years
swift; 21 two of them shall perish when the middle of
its time draws near; and four shall be kept for the time
when its end approaches, but two shall be kept until the
end.

22 “As for your seeing three heads at rest, this is the
interpretation:

(we are presently in the timeframe of the rising of the
3 heads!...also in 2020 I heard in Spirit...6th
seal..watch for the signs...re revs 6..Matt 24:29 and
onwards,luke 21, mark 13...get the picture
yet??!!...anyhoos....Emphasis is on the signs!
Also daniel 7 and revs 13 is the very same composite
beast empire spoken of in 2 esdras 11 and 2 esdras
12!!!!...anyhoos...) 

23 In its last days the Most High will raise up three
kings (china, russia and the UN) and they shall renew
many things in it, and shall rule the earth 24 and its
inhabitants more oppressively than all who were before
them. Therefore they are called the heads of the
eagle, 25 because it is they who shall sum up his
wickedness and perform his last actions. 26 As for your
seeing that the large (middle) head disappeared,(china)
one of the kings shall die in his bed, but in
agonies. 27 But as for the two who remained, the sword
(war) shall devour them. 28 For the sword of one shall
devour him who was with him; but he also shall fall by
the sword in the last days.(basically thru war the last
2 heads slaughter off each other!)

29 “As for your seeing two little
wings/kings/leaders passing over to the head which was
on the right side, 30 this is the interpretation: It is
these whom the Most High has kept for the eagle’s end;
this was the reign which was brief and full of tumult,
as you have seen.

31 “And as for the lion whom you saw rousing up out of
the forest and roaring and speaking to the eagle and
reproving him for his unrighteousness, and as for all
his words that you have heard, 32 this is the
Messiah/jesus/yehoshuah whom the Most High has kept
until the end of days, who will arise from the offspring
of David, and will come and speak with them. He will
denounce them for their ungodliness and for their
wickedness, and will display before them their
contemptuous dealings. 

33 For first he will bring them alive before his
judgment seat, and when he has reproved them, then he
will destroy them. 34 But in mercy he will set free the
remnant of my people, those who have been saved
throughout my borders, and he will make them joyful
until the end comes, the day of judgment, of which I
spoke to you at the beginning. 35 This is the dream that
you saw, and this is its interpretation.snip...

How Mexico Got Its Name
By Jane Runyon

The country of Mexico has not always been called Mexico. When the Spanish conquered
the area that is now Mexico, the area was larger. The Spanish claimed land from what is now
the United States to the north. The border to the south took in most of Central America. This
land was called the Viceroyalty of New Spain or Nueva Espana. The natives of the country
have long called it Mexico, however.

The country of Mexico was named after its capital city, Mexico City. During the time of
the Aztecs, their capital city was Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Today's capital city was built on top of
the ruins of the Aztec capital. When the Spanish conquered the Aztecs, they destroyed the city.
They then rebuilt it to resemble a Spanish city.

There are several stories about the origin of the name Mexico. Part of the word, mexi, is
thought to be the name of a war god of the Aztecs, Mexitli. This god got his name from the
word metztli, which meant moon, and xictli, which meant navel. It is thought that by putting
these two words together, the meaning changed to "child of the moon."

Others think the name of a goddess named Mectli was used. Mectli translates to "maguey
grandmother." The maguey is a plant that has been very valuable to the people of Mexico. Parts of the plant can
be used for weaving, making brushes, soap, furniture, toys, ornaments, food, paper, medicine, and even firewood.
A liquid can be gathered from inside the plant which ferments into a drink sometimes called "honey water."
Many people compare this drink to beer in other parts of the world. It is no wonder the maguey plant is
sometimes called "The Tree of Wonders."

The letters "co" mean place. When "co" is added to the letters "mexi" it easily translates into "the place of the
children of the moon" or "the place of the people of Mectli." Some people add that the Mectli people settled near
the nopal cactus. This follows the myth that the Mexica people were told to settle in the place where an eagle
with a snake in its mouth sits on a nopal cactus. That is the story behind the founding of Mexico City. That eagle
can be seen on the modern flag of Mexico, still holding the snake in its beak.

The Spanish used their own pronunciation of the word Mexico. They gave the "x" a softer sound much like an
"h" sound. They even changed the spelling to "mejico" in some areas to match the Spanish spelling of the "x"
sound. When Mexico was able to win its independence from Spain, it became a matter of pride to the Mexicans
that they retain the "x" in the word and use a true "ex" sound in pronouncing it.

It is not uncommon to find the word Mexico pronounced in at least two different ways, even today. Those
who can trace their ancestry to Spain are still prone to use the Me-hee-ko pronunciation, while those of Aztec or
Mayan descent tend to say Meks-i-ko. However you pronounce it and whichever meaning you choose, the name
Mexico is steeped in history and tradition.
