"July 4th Celebrations - New York Harbor - Mystery Babylon?  Revelation 18?"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
I was starting to work on a letter about the Statue of Liberty - with possibly a connection to Mystery Babylon - when I got distracted with the July 4th celebrations in New York City - specifically the celebrations involving the ships...'New York Harbor is preparing for one of the largest maritime celebrations in U.S. history as the nation marks its 250th anniversary.'
 
We keep hearing about 'sleeper cells' and we've seen nothing 'big' happen...yet.  July 4th, the 250th anniversary, would certainly be a tempting target date with all the BIG events planned.
 
And the Sail4th 250 event organizers will provide "AquaMap" that will live track the ships with identification, routes, positions, etc as they enter New York Harbor.  That would certainly make them easy targets.....
 
I've mentioned before that this July 4th celebration in NYC involving the ships reminds me of Revelation 18.
 
And there may be a connection to the 3 groups of men seen entering the sewer system in three locations around midnight - two in Brooklyn (May 29) and one in Queens (May 5).  All are near the East River.  And these events took place not all that far from July 4 and not that far from the routes of these ships.  These 3 events were caught on video...were there more?  Most probably.
 
New York Harbor July 4th Celebrations:
 
"New York Harbor is preparing for one of the largest maritime celebrations in U.S. history as the nation marks its 250th anniversary."  The Sail4th 250 event and the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard will be taking part.  This will take place in the Port of New York and New Jersey.  Over  120 U.S. and allied aircraft, led by the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels, will be there.  And "On July 4, tall ships will sail from under the Verrazzano-Narrow Bridge, past the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson River toward the George Washington Bridge."
 
The celebration will include:
 
48 tall ships in the International Parade of Sail
 
20 foreign nations represented among the tall ships.
 
44 nations represented in New York Harbor
 
More than 120 aircraft.
 
About 15,000 U.S. and foreign sailors in port.
 
An estimated 6 million spectators along 15 miles of waterfront.
 
A projected $2.85 billion total economic impact.
 
Tall ships will come from "Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, India, Italy, Monaco, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay and the United Kingdom."  U.S. Navy ships will be anchored in the Hudson River:  USS Arlington, USS Kearsarge, USS Iwo Jima, USS Farragut, USS Nitze, and USS Jason Dunham."  There will be allied ships from "Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Spain, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Brazil, Germany, Morocco, Turkey, Peru, Senegal and Cameroon"
 
"New York Harbor stands ready to welcome the world."
 
Also, Sail4th 250 is launching "AquaMap" "a real time vessel tracking platform that will allow spectators to follow participating ships during the week's events.  The platform will show ship positions, identifications and routes and vessels travel into New York Harbor."
 
"Private and foundation-owned Class B tall ships will sail down the East River from Long Island Sound, pause at South Street Seaport and then head to anchorage in Gravesend Bay."
 
On July 4, the "International Parade of Sail begins at 9:30 AM with tall ships traveling from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge past the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson River."
 
On July 8, "Class A tall ships depart from Boston, with several historic ships set to race for the International Perpetual Challenge Cup."
 
"..the full schedule will continue to be updated ahead of the July 4 celebration."
 
This will be an absolutely amazing sight to see!  They are expecting 6 million sightseers at this event.
 
Makes one wonder about security with so many foreign ships coming in to the Harbor...
 
Any Connection With the Men Seen Entering the Sewer System in Brooklyn and Queens?
 
1)  Gravesend, Brooklyn Event:
 
"A group of men shocked onlookers as they emerged from a manhole in a busy New York street in an incident that sparked a police probe.  Seven people were seen climbing out of the sewer system in Brooklyn's McDonald Avenue in Gravesend.  The dramatic exit was caught on camera as it occurred at about 2am on Friday..."
 
This event took place at the intersection of McDonald Ave. and Colin Place.  Six men exited the sewer at about 2 AM.  Another man had removed the manhole cover for the six to emerge.  Three cars were waiting for them. This was five miles away from Event #2.
 
Colin Place intersects McDonald Ave east to west, and is about two blocks south of Kings Highway.   Based on the names of places in that area, it's a very Jewish neighborhood.  And it's not very far from Gravesend Bay.  ..
 
"Private and foundation-owned Class B tall ships will sail down the East River from Long Island Sound, pause at South Street Seaport and then head to anchorage in Gravesend Bay."
Gravesend - Directions
 
The "International Parade of Sail" is to anchor in Gravesend Bay.
 
2)  Williamsburg, Brooklyn Event:
 
Another event occurred in Williamsburg.  At a manhole at Bedford Avenue and Lynch Street (one news article I saw had Hayward Street and Bedford Avenue) "early Friday morning.  The unusual activity is part of a series of incidents reported over two consecutive days in Williamsburg." 
 
They entered the sewer system around 1 AM on Friday and climbed out around 3:40 AM.
 
This event took place at Bedford Avenue and Lynch Street.
 
This map shows the intersection of Bedford Ave and Lynch St.  It's fairly close to the East River and Upper New York Bay.  Liberty Island is almost straight west of this intersection.  The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island.  
 
On July 4, the "International Parade of Sail begins at 9:30 AM with tall ships traveling from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge (connects Brooklyn and Staten Island) past the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson River."
 
The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge divides the Upper New York Bay from the Lower New York Bay.  Gravesend is next to the Lower New York Bay.  And Liberty Island/Statue of Liberty is in Upper New York Bay.  Lower New York Bay connects to the Atlantic Ocean.

3)  Astoria, Queens Event:
 
A third sewer system incident was also caught on video - in Astoria, Queens.  This was witnessed by a man working at Aki Auto Care - so the exact address is known.  This is at the intersection of 20th Ave and 36th St..  Three men were seen removing the cover and entering the sewer.  They were wearing chest high waders, head lamps, boots..there were vehicles 'assisting' them.

This site is not very far from the East River and the Robert F Kennedy Bridge on the East River.  And it's near LaGuardia Airport and Rikers Island.  If one travels SW on the East River you come to Liberty Island in Upper New York Bay.
 
Here's my Doves letter from last week:
What's Going On In The Sewers in NYC? Something Sinister?
 
Conclusion:
 
  Maybe it's just a coincidence that these sewer incidents happened this close to July 4 and this close to where these ships will be during July 4.  And where there will be millions of people celebrating July 4th - with all kinds of parades, special events, public gatherings, fireworks, boat rides, fairs, etc.
 
The third event showed men entering - but with no shovels or equipment - very odd.  Just the waders, boots, headlamps, and reflective jackets.  Seems no one knows what they did...  These three groups of men all looked very comfortable with entering the sewers - like they had done it many times before.  The Brooklyn groups had various items with them.  And all three groups had vehicles shining headlamps on the manholes as they entered and exited.  These were well planned out events.  I doubt they could find enough 'coins/jewelry' to pay everybody for their time and trouble.  I'm leaning toward something nefarious going on....
 
It's impossible to secure so many ships and so many people - from so many countries.  Right there in the NYC area - New York Bay.
 
I had speculated before about Revelation 18.  Could NYC or the eastern seaboard be Mystery Babylon?  In Revelation 18:4 John heard a voice say "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues."  That sounds more like the Rapture.  As 'my people' would be the Believers (not Jews as they go through the Tribulation)  This would put the destruction of Mystery Babylon at the start of the Tribulation - following the Rapture.
 
Mystery Babylon's plagues "come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire:  for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."  Revelation 18:8
 
"For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.  And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off.  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city."  Revelation 18:18
 
They all stand "afar off for the fear of her torment."  Revelation 18:10
 
IF NYC/area is not Mystery Babylon, there could still be judgment coming on July 4 - as this is a huge target for the enemies of America.  Could an attack come from the sewers?  And there is the possibility the sewer people are just looking for coins/jewelry that fell into the sewer over the years.
 
"New York Harbor stands ready to welcome the world."  This seems ominous to me. 
 
I've never been to NYC and as far as July 4th celebrations go...I'm not going to be anywhere near there.  Even though the celebrations sound truly awesome!  A once in a lifetime experience!  I'll watch You tube videos...
 
Happy July 4th!  Happy 250th Anniversary America!
 
 
Be safe and blessed.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha~
