The Eagle and the Serpents (The Angel said, "this has been revealed to you, that you may know, the first bite has been, the second is yet to come, and the third will be its destruction.")
Psalm 34:7-8, "The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him."
Upon my return to the United States in late August, I had a very vivid and troubling dream. I shared it with the staff here in Wisconsin, and with a few other brothers, but continued to pray and seek direction from God as to whether or not I should include it in the newsletter.
At the staff's urging, and feeling a release from the Lord, I have included this dream in this issue of the newsletter.
I dreamt I was walking through a sparsely wooded forest, and suddenly my attention was drawn to an eagle flying high above the tree line. It was a beautiful sight to behold as the eagle rode the thermals, flying in slow lazy arks across the blue sky. I began to quicken my pace, and keep up with the eagle's flight, all the while keeping an eye on it, noticing that it was slowly descending toward the earth. I followed it for a long time, its descend not being sudden but very gradual.
Finally I came upon a small clearing, where there were no trees, just some bushes on the edges of the green grass. The eagle landed in the clearing, and began to look around not seeming to notice me.
As I began to wonder what the relevance of this was, a man dressed in white, hands clasped in front of him, appeared beside me, and said, "Be patient, in due time you will see the purpose."
I was silent as I watched the eagle, and was beginning to grow somewhat impatient, when suddenly, it seemed out of nowhere, a brown snake lunged at the eagle, and bit down on its left wing. The snake's strike was very quick and very precise. The eagle reacted without delay, clawing and pecking at the snake cutting deep wounds in its underbelly, trying to defend itself and ward off the serpent. Just as it seemed the eagle was winning the battle, and the serpent was retreating, another serpent appeared, red and black diagonal stripes covering its body, and without hesitation struck out at the eagle's right wing, biting down, and refusing to release. After a momentary tug of war the serpent tore off flesh and feathers, leaving a large wound on the eagle's right wing. The second bite was much worse then the first, and for an instant the eagle was stunned. Then a serpent much larger than the previous two, made up of many colors, slithered toward the eagle, opened its jaws, and lunged, taking the whole of the eagle's head in its mouth before biting down.
The serpents retreated and the man who had been standing beside me, walked to the eagle, knelt down, picked it up, and held it in his cupped hands. The look of grief on his face was beyond any I have seen in my life. Just seeing the look on the man's face broke your heart.
The man continued to look down at the eagle, and with a pained voice said, "The true tragedy, is that at any moment it could have sought the safety of the above, it could have soared toward the heavens and would have found its protection. This has been revealed to you, that you may know, the first bite has been, the second is yet to come, and the third will be its destruction."
I watched for a long time as the man held the eagle in the palms of his hands, the pained expression never leaving his features. I was too stunned to speak, or ask any questions, what I had seen having seemed so real. The feeling followed me into my waking hours as well, and each time I closed my eyes I saw the entire scene play before my eyes throughout the day.
One thing that I feel I need to share with you is that the second bite seemed to come from an unexpected place. Although I have my own opinion concerning this, I choose to keep it to myself, because expounding on personal opinion is a dangerous thing when it comes to things that God reveals.
I was hesitant in sharing this dream, because I know some will perceive it as a reason to fear. It is not a reason to fear, but a reason to be stirred, and emboldened for the kingdom of God. The reality, is that these are the times we are living in, and I for one am thankful to God for his forewarnings, knowing that His children will never be unaware of what the future holds. All I can do is urge you to be watchful, and diligent in your prayers to the Father. This nation, today, is more in need of prayer on its behalf than at any time in its history. It is the prayers of His children that compels God to relent, and tarry. Stand in the gap, you are precious in the eyes of God, and He hears your heartfelt supplications.
Joel 2:12-14, "Now, therefore, says the Lord, turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm."
With love in Christ,

China & Russia Strike - Dumitru Duduman
April 22, 1996
I prayed. then went to bed. I was still awake, when suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. A voice cried out to me, "Stand!"
In my vision, I was in America. I walked out out of home, and began to look for the one who had spoken to me. As I looked, I saw three men dressed alike. Two of the men carried weapons. One of the armed men came to me. "I woke you to show you what is to come," he said. "Come with me."
I didn't know where I was being taken, but when we reached a certain place he said, "Stop here!"
A pair of binoculars was handed to me, and I was told to look through them.
"Stand there, don't move, and look," he continued. "You will see what they are saying, and what they are preparing for America."
As I was looking, I saw a great light. A dark cloud appeared over it. I saw the president of Russia, a short, chubby man, who said he was the president of China, and two others. the last two also said where they were from, but I did not understand. However, I gathered they were part of Russian controlled territory. The men stepped out of the cloud.
The Russian president began to speak to the Chinese one. "I will give you the land with all the people, but you must free Taiwan of the Americans. Do not fear, we will attack them from behind."
A voice said to me, "Watch where the Russians penetrate America." Then I saw these words being written: Alaska, Minnesota, Florida.
Then the man spoke again," When America goes to war with China, the Russians will strike without warning."
The other two presidents spoke, "We, too, will fight for you." Each had a place already planned as a point of attack. All of them shook hands and hugged. Then they all signed a contract.
One of them said, "We're sure that Korea and Cuba will be on our side, too. Without a doubt, together, we can destroy America."
The president of Russia began to speak insistently, "Why let ourselves be led by the Americans? Why not rule the world ourselves? They have to be kicked out of Europe, too! Then I could do as I please with Europe!"
The man standing beside me said, "This is what you saw: they act as friends, and say they respect the treaties made together. But everything I've shown you is how it will REALLY happen. You must tell them what is being planned against America. Then, when it comes to pass, the people will remember the words the Lord has spoken."
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am the protector of America. America's sin has reached God. He will allow this destruction, for He can no longer stand such wickedness. God, however, still has people that worship Him with a clean heart as they do His work. He has prepared a heavenly army to save these people."
As I looked, a great army, well armed and dressed in white, appeared before me. "Do you see that?" the man asked. "This army will go to battle to save My chosen ones. Then, the difference between the Godly and the ungodly will be evident.
I prayed. then went to bed. I was still awake, when suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. A voice cried out to me, "Stand!"

Henery Gruvers 1985 & 1990 visions of an attack on U.S.A.
If a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness,
and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread,
send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast,
even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst
by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves,
declares the Lord God. Ezekiel 14:12-14
Henry Gruver's 1985 VISION January, 1990
I was in Wales, on December 14, 1985.
I went up on top of the Eagle tower in the Caenarvon Castle.
It had eight points on it. Each of the points all it were eroded eagles.
This castle was built in the 12th century.
I was overlooking the Irish Sea toward the North Sea
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the tip of Scotland, Greenland, Iceland in that area.
All of a sudden I was up above the Earth looking down upon the earth
like a globe. As I looked down on the earth, I saw all of these massive
amount of all kinds of ships and airplanes. They were coming from up
above Norway, out of this inlet.
They headed down between the United States and Europe.
They literally covered the whole Atlantic.
Then I wanted to see what was happening to the United States.
I looked over on the globe at the United States.
I saw coming out of the United States these radio communication towers.
I saw the jagged lines I like they draw to show that communications are coming out.
All of a sudden, as I was looking down on them they began to sparkle
down on the earth like dust. I thought
"Oh no! They are not getting through!
They don't know what is happening! They are totally oblivious!"
Then I began to see all of these submarines emerging from under the surface.
I was surprised at how close they were to our boarders! They
were in our territorial waters! Then I saw the missiles come out of them!
They hit eastern coastal cities of the United States.
I looked over across the country where my family was over in the
northwest side, and I saw the submarines. I saw the missiles coming out
and hitting the western coastal cities.
I cried out and I said, Oh God! Oh God! When will this be, and what
shall be the sign of its coming?"
I heard an audible voice speak to me amid say, "When Russia opens her
doors and lets the masses go. The free world will occupy themselves with
transporting, housing and feeding and caring for the masses, and will
lets down their weapons and cry peace and safety. Then sudden
destruction will come. Then is, when it will come."
That was December 14, 1984. Glastnost and Parastroika were unheard of at that time!
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Ezekiel 38
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall also come to pass, that at the same time
shall things come into the mind. and thou shalt think an evil thought.
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;
I will go to them that are at rest. that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls and having neither bars nor gates. To take a spoil,
and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places
that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations,
which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Sheba, and Dedan (Saudi Arabia) and the merchants of Tarshish, (Britain)
with all the young lions shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?
Have you gathered thy company to take a prey? To carry away silver and gold,
to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
January 1990 VISION
St Johns, North Portland, Oregon
I saw missiles coming out of the waters of the Pacific Ocean,
airplanes coming in towards certain cities along the Northwest.
When it looked like they would do their devastation,
I heard a voice speak from heaven, like thunder. It said,
“Watch what I will do!”
The mountains along the coastal range began to shake and tremble
and puffs of smoke shot out of them in all directions,
into the paths of the missiles and the planes.
The missiles just hit the ground, didn’t explode.
The smoke had destroyed the missiles ability to navigate,
to fly through the air, and they didn’t hit their targets.
It was also like shields or domes came over certain cities.
Even the contaminated air couldn’t go into those areas.
It went around them.
I saw many vehicles coming in on our waters,
like ships opened up in the front, and all these personnel,
carrying things, came out armored, right up on our beaches,
and all these thousands of people began to head out.
I saw the proud look on the faces of those that were driving the vehicles.
I heard, again, the thunderous voice from the heavens,
“Watch what I will do!”
Suddenly, mountains puffed out smoke,
and rivers of golden lava began flowing down a path,
right across the beaches in front of the invaders.
Terror came on their faces, and they turned back and
headed to the sea, fleeing for their lives,
as the waters behind them turned to steam.
And the Lord said,
“I have people in this land that I will not let them touch,
for they are Mine! They are My chosen,
and I will keep My chosen safe!
For I have a work for them to do yet in this land,
and in many lands.”
2 Chronicles 20:20
Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established.

My vision of the destruction of America; A.A. Allen July 4th, 1954
As God said through the prophet Joel, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sonsand your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, youryoung men shall see visions." So today, as we approach the end of the age and the time of the Lord's return, God is speaking through His people with dreams and visions. The following vision was received by Evangelist A.A. Allen on July 4, 1954.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of
Liberty, illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread
before me like an animated map, is an area sixty or eighty miles in
diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me,
there atop the Empire State Building. Why should I feel such a surge
of His Spirit and power there?
Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord. It was as clear and as
distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of
the giant telescope. But when I looked at the telescope, I knew it
hadn't come from there, but directly from heaven. The voice said,
"The eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart
is perfect toward Him. Herein you have done foolishly.
Therefore, from henceforth, you shall have wars."
Immediately when I heard the voice of God, I knew this was a
quotation of Scripture. But never before had a thing come to me so
forcibly by the power of the Spirit. The ticking of the telescope
stopped. The man before me had used up his dimes worth. As he stepped
away I knew that I was next. As I stepped to the telescope and
dropped in my dime, immediately the ticking started again. This
ticking was an automatic clock which would allow me to use the
telescope for a definitely limited time only.
As I swung the telescope to the North, suddenly the Spirit of God
came upon me in a way that I had never thought of before. Seemingly
in the spirit I was entirely caught away. I knew that the telescope
itself had nothing to do with the distance which I was suddenly
enabled to see, for I seemed to see things far beyond the range of the
telescope, even on a bright clear day. It was simply that God had
chosen this time to reveal these things to me, for as I looked through
the telescope, it was not Manhattan Island that I saw, but a far
larger view.
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.
There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American Continent, with
all it's 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, there 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.
And as l 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. lt 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 saith the Lord of hosts, Drink ye and be
drunken, spue 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 25:7.
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, "Thus saith the
Lord of Hosts, YE SHALL CERTAINLY
DRINK." (Jer.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, saith the Lord of Hosts."
(Jer.25:29) When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statue 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, "Ye shall drink and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no
more because of the sword that I shall send among you."
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 terror by night, nor for the
pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction
that wastes at noonday." Psalms 91:5,6.
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.,
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 towards 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 the
entire attention seemed to be focused upon the U.S., overlooking
Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud
in the form of a skeleton bending towards America, bending from the
waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out towards both coasts,
I knew it's one interest was to destroy the multitudes.
As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above
the great lakes region, and turned it's face towards 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 L.A. area was covered with it's vapors
Then towards the center came a third great puff. As I watched,
St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on
it came towards 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
maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside
down, and scattereth 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 buyer, so with the
seller, 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
mourneth and fadeth away, The world languisheth and fadeth 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 are left."
(Isa.24:1-6)
As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person
was about to cough out his lungs. The Statue 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, and 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 death. Tears ran down my
face as I realized that she was dead! Only The lapping of The waves,
splashing over her body, which was partly under the water, and partly
out of water, broke the silence.
"A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame
burneth;
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind
them, a desolate wilderness." Joel 2:3
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, 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
struggling to regain her poise and balance, and finally falling 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, and above the
moaning and groanings, 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, saith the Lord.
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 onto the other end of the earth: they shall not
be lamented neither gathered nor buried; they shall be dung
upon the ground. (Jer. 25:31-33)
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 towards The U.S. On The
ground, the sirens screamed louder. And up from the ground I saw
similar rockets begin to ascend. To me, these appeared to be
interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over
the U.S. 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. Them suddenly, the rockets
which had leaped out of the ocean 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 in the South Pacific. In my vision, it was so real I seemed to
fell a searing heat from it.
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 that "Except
the Lord keep The city, The watchman watches but in vain."
Then as the noise of the battle subsided, to my ears cam this
quotation from Joel, the second chapter, "Blow ye 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
cometh, 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 hath not been ever the like, neither shall
be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
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..." (Joel 2:4).

As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of
Liberty, illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread
before me like an animated map, is an area sixty or eighty miles in
diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me,
there atop the Empire State Building. Why should I feel such a surge
of His Spirit and power there?
Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord. It was as clear and as
distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of
the giant telescope. But when I looked at the telescope, I knew it
hadn't come from there, but directly from heaven. The voice said,
"The eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart
is perfect toward Him. Herein you have done foolishly.
Therefore, from henceforth, you shall have wars."
Immediately when I heard the voice of God, I knew this was a
quotation of Scripture. But never before had a thing come to me so
forcibly by the power of the Spirit. The ticking of the telescope
stopped. The man before me had used up his dimes worth. As he stepped
away I knew that I was next. As I stepped to the telescope and
dropped in my dime, immediately the ticking started again. This
ticking was an automatic clock which would allow me to use the
telescope for a definitely limited time only.
As I swung the telescope to the North, suddenly the Spirit of God
came upon me in a way that I had never thought of before. Seemingly
in the spirit I was entirely caught away. I knew that the telescope
itself had nothing to do with the distance which I was suddenly
enabled to see, for I seemed to see things far beyond the range of the
telescope, even on a bright clear day. It was simply that God had
chosen this time to reveal these things to me, for as I looked through
the telescope, it was not Manhattan Island that I saw, but a far
larger view.
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.
There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American Continent, with
all it's 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, there 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.
And as l 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. lt 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 saith the Lord of hosts, Drink ye and be
drunken, spue 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 25:7.
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, "Thus saith the
Lord of Hosts, YE SHALL CERTAINLY
DRINK." (Jer.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, saith the Lord of Hosts."
(Jer.25:29) When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statue 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, "Ye shall drink and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no
more because of the sword that I shall send among you."
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 terror by night, nor for the
pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction
that wastes at noonday." Psalms 91:5,6.
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.,
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 towards 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 the
entire attention seemed to be focused upon the U.S., overlooking
Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud
in the form of a skeleton bending towards America, bending from the
waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out towards both coasts,
I knew it's one interest was to destroy the multitudes.
As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above
the great lakes region, and turned it's face towards 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 L.A. area was covered with it's vapors
Then towards the center came a third great puff. As I watched,
St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on
it came towards 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
maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside
down, and scattereth 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 buyer, so with the
seller, 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
mourneth and fadeth away, The world languisheth and fadeth away,

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 are left."
(Isa.24:1-6)
As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person
was about to cough out his lungs. The Statue was moaning and
groaning. She was in mortal agony. The pain must have been terrific,
