Revelation 21-22

Why Manhattan? There is a place on the Earth which symbolizes
very well this wonderful spiritual truth presented in this study: Manhattan with Elli’s
Island & Liberty Island. Since the United States won the War of
Independence in 1781, America become, in Thomas Paine's words, "the asylum for
the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.”
As part of the largest mass movement of people in world history during the 19th and early
20th centuries close to 60 million people sought to find a new life in United States
majority through Ellis Island gateway. At enter in the New York
harbor for all this immigrants, across the Hudson gulf stood the mythic vision of
America: salt-green and copper-clad, the Statue of Liberty offered a mute but powerful
welcome in the "New World". If there is a place most hated by
the general after Jerusalem this place is here for the idea of freedom, independence and
prosperity which these places transmit. For all this reasons Manhattan with Statue of
Liberty is “the city” of Revelation
11:13 which was struck on September 2001.
“The Kissing Post” At
Elli’s Island buildings complex there is a place named very suggestive: ”The
Kissing Post”. In this place the immigrants after weeks of journey across the ocean,
they finally meet the parents, children or spouses they hadn’t seen in years. There
will be in our salvation history a final happy moment when we will meet at last our friends
and heaven’s relatives which we hadn’t seen for long, long time. What a moment! |
The Lady from NY Harbor

Today the Ellis Island
gateway is close down and there now is only a museum full with memories, but the gateway
to Heaven is still open but
not for long, so hurries up. Now is up to you, we just show you the “door” (See John 10:9), only you can walk
thru. We pray and hope to meet you “up there”. Heaven is a good land and with God’s
help we can succeed. (See Numbers
13:17-27) |
