Links: | StarTribune | map |August 2 (Day 214, Passover): The Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed yesterday about 6:05 PM CDT (2305 GMT). The bridge collapsed during rush hour with cars bumper to bumper due to construction on the bridge. A train passing underneath was crushed by the bridge. And high overhead an angelic representation of the rod of God was passing over. The bridge was built in 1967, where 19 is for the federal judiciary, and 67 is for giving of worldly possessions. The collapse was on August 1, for unity, and Day 213, for the double blessing of Israel.
Links: | Middle East Times |US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates finished their visit with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia yesterday. The pair went down to Egypt and then to Saudi Arabia. They were trying to convince the Saudi's to stop sending insurgents to Iraq, and they discussed a $20 billion arms deal, most of which would go to Saudi Arabia. The two sat side-by-side in their meetings, which is the sign of a witness. The Secretary of State then went to Israel and the West Bank to drum up support for another peace conference for a Palestinian state.
In their meeting with the Saudi's Rice and Gates sat side-by-side, the sign of a witness. The two bridges over the Mississippi between the twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, also represent a witness and correspond to Rice and Gates on their Middle East tour. The NASA STS-118 mission patch also has a pair of wagon tracks that represent the two bridges over the Mississippi.
Over the I-35W bridge at the time of the collapse was the image of a staff, which symbolizes the rod of God. The rod of God represents punishment. The year, 2007, stands for Categorical Punishment. The bridge was built in July 1967, which was 40 years ago, where 40 stands for maximum divine punishment. The bridge collapsed at the worst time during rush hour with bumper-to-bumper traffic and on top of a passing train. The collapse on the train and the blocking of the river symbolize the strategic failure of the Rice-Gates mission. Those who go down to Egypt will be cursed (Isaiah 31:1), and those who curse Israel will be cursed (Genesis 12:3).
