I have had a prompting or perhaps some may call it a visitation
on Saturday night June 12th, at approximately 2:38 a.m. I had looked at my computer
which I have near my bed on a rather large kitchen table using it as my
desk. As I approached my desk from coming back
from the other room, I felt the Lord say to me, I want to
show you
something, a little tired I said what Lord, and He said to me, I want to
show you, your country's miscarriage.
I said in my heart
miscarriage?
Yes, miscarriage.
When the Lord
spoke to me miscarriage I began to feel this agony of heart within me.
He
said, Your country is bleeding in the
Gulf...................OIL.
The sin of your country
is two fold;
it's people have turned to the anointing of petroleum or "rock oil".
The second is the church is a leaking cistern...I do not watch T.V... so I had no idea what was going on only through bits of conversation with friends...see what one man of God saw in 1954.
An Excerpt from A. A. Allen's Vision July 4th 1954
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.
Comment: As to Brother Allen's words I
say...
Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of
Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established;
believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 2 Chronicles 20:20
