Statue of Liberty - New York

MTW-DVD-102 - Situated in New York Harbour, the Statue of Liberty has become the proud symbol of the United States of America.The statue of the Goddess of Freedom carries the light of the spirit of enlightenment to the Free World.

Alexander Gustave Eiffel, whose tower later made him famous, built the statues ingenious iron frame construction supported by a central shaft.Around this framework a 2.4 millimeter thick copper coating was attached to the statue and it is mainly due to Eiffels frame that the monument has withstood the bays savage winter storms.

On the 28th October 1886, North Americas most important statue was inaugurated by President Grover Cleveland.The statue was the design of a young sculptor, Bartholdi, who had eagerly accepted the work due to the fact that the commission of his design of a large female statue for a lighthouse on the Suez Canal had not reached fruition.

At first, the statue received little love and affection.Indeed, New Yorkers used the statues unveiling ceremony for a protest demonstration! Since then, however, it has most assuredly conquered the hearts of those who have seen it and it has become a symbol of freedom for the whole of America.

I could see the twin towers.

[MrGoodygumdrops]

And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.

Well . .don't blame me. . .that's just Gods view.

@2getha4eva2 Your words struck a cord with me & I remember watching it on TV that morning. God Help those people. When the towers went down, I watch on TV and just cried to think this was taking place ! I know Jesus when he comes will send these cowders to where they belong ! The C.I.A know exactly where these terrorist are & every one of their names. They can go get everyone them right now if they want too ! They won't & use them to their benefit ! God Bless America but not the C.I.A. !

If you were John and lived 2,000 years ago, and could see into the future, and saw the Statue, How would you describe it? Does John's description in Revelation match the Statue of Liberty? Rising from the waters, Many heads, and Horns, A cup in her hand, and more. Read Revelation
