Excerpt of latest from Charmaine Eggers,

And though the statue was not originally intended to be a symbol to welcome immigrants, because of Lazarus’s sonnet, it has become so.

The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
—Emma Lazarus, 1883

The Old Colossus

If Lazarus calls the statue the “New Colossus,” then what was the old?

The “Old” Colossus was a massive statue approximately 107 feet tall. Fashioned in the appearance of the sun god Helios, he has often been called Apollo, although the two deities were eventually merged together, they were, for quite some time, separate entities.

This statue was built sometime between 292 and 280 B.C., on the Greek island of Rhodes and called the Colossus of Rhodes. It was placed at the entrance to the harbor and some accounts state that ships sailed into the port between the massive legs of Helios/Apollo. He stood there until a great earthquake in 226 B.C. snapped him off at the knees. Even in “death,” Apollo was impressive.

He laid upon the ground for 900 years with curious tourists coming to see the rubble.

In the 1950s, evangelist A. A. Allen spoke of seeing a vision through a telescope on the Empire State Building in which the Statue of Liberty is standing in the Gulf of Mexico and commanded by a voice from Heaven to drink a large cup of judgment.

When she defies the command, she is forced to drink the bitter dregs. The effects are immediate and cause Liberty to struggle to stay standing.

Just as it seems she gains her balance, an ominous skull in the shape of a cloud appears from Alaska and splits into three wisps, one drifting down the West Coast, one winding its way down the Mississippi Valley, and the last wisp entangling itself along the East Coast.

When Liberty inhales the toxic vapors, she collapses facedown into the warm Gulf waters to rise no more. Shortly thereafter in Allen’s vision, he sees a nuclear attack upon the U.S.

Considering the sequence in Allen’s vision, Liberty falling in the midst of a vast respiratory illness across the U.S. followed by a nuclear attack, the current swine flu that is underway bears watching.

Though our H1N1 is not as virulent as in Allen’s prophetic word, the illness that is underway in the country of Ukraine has caught the attention of many. The reports of a bloody pneumonia that is occurring there may not be solely the current H1N1 pandemic but rather a mixture of three flu strains or even the deadly pneumonic plague.

Yes, the Black Death of the Medieval times. Autopsies are revealing lungs that have been “charred black,” like they have been “burned.”

Like A. A. Allen, my son, Daniel Eggers who writes at prayersforthepeople.com was also given a prophetic word about a day when America, symbolized by the Statue of Liberty, will be forced to drink a bitter cup of judgment; she will be judged and, and as a result, will find herself fleeing from vicious, unfeeling foreign invaders.

And like Allen, he also sees physical violence upon the statue. He wrote the following in the “Fall of the Harlot,” July 4, 2009.

The harlot’s iniquity is piled against her. Her sentence is fair and just, she has been judged by the ONE and ONLY TRUE JUDGE upon the WHITE THRONE, upon her judgment she has been found wanting.

The blood of her witnesses have all come against her, the blood of the innocent testifies to her heinous debauchery and merciless butchering of the millions presented as sacrifices to her abominable idols, the fallen who deceive men and proclaim to be gods. The harlot’s evil is repaid upon her head, crushing her harlot skull, separating her head at the joint from her body.

Her evil has been stored up against her and is now loosed upon her land, crushing her and slaughtering all who share in her lust for the blood of the innocent, who possess the red spirit of the harlot, and upon all who have rejected the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. (emphasis mine)

Nahman, the Child Prophet

Indeed, there are a number of prophetic voices out there, past and present, that have been warning that great judgment resulting in great destruction and great devastation is coming upon America. But it was this Google video (19 mins long)...

... that a friend (thanks cj!) sent me about a prophetic word concerning the destruction of America that made me go back and check some of these other prophetic words, and there does seem to be a pattern.

About 420 years after the destruction of the second Temple, an infant boy named Nahman was born on Rosh Hashanah about the year 490.

The Google video goes into the circumstances of his birth, so I won’t repeat all of that here. About the age of 12, this young boy gave a series of five rhymed prophecies. These prophetic words have been accepted by a number of learned ...
