“Many times, the prophet is shown a specific vision, but he doesn’t understand what he is seeing,” Rabbi Natan wrote. “This is explicitly stated by the prophets Daniel and Zechariah. Sometimes, the vision is a metaphor for future events. Sometimes, the visions show the events themselves, but the prophet is limited and can only describe them using his own vocabulary, using concepts and events that he is familiar with.”
“In his vision, the child, Nachman, saw the Statue of Liberty but didn’t understand what he saw and couldn’t put words to it. Only about 120 years ago were we finally able to understand what Nachman saw: a sign of the coming redemption, the destruction of the Statue of Liberty, a copy of the Colossus of Rhodes.”
This prophecy was also given by Rabbi Shimon Dahan, who passed away in Paris, France, about three years ago. Rabbi Dahan said in 2005 that the Statue of Liberty would be destroyed at a certain stage of the final redemption.
“When this happens, we will know that the Messiah is about to be revealed,” Rabbi Dahan taught.
While the destruction of the Statue of Liberty seems unlikely to most, in April, a French member of the European Parliament, Raphaël Glucksmann, demanded that the US return the monument his country had gifted to the US in 1876.
“We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: ‘Give us back the Statue of Liberty,’” local outlet France 24 reported.
“‘We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home,’” Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique movement.
