Directive from Heaven - No. 313 - American Cities given at to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#313 - American Cities

"That great city Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come.... And mariners ... in the sea, stood afar off and cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city? And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in one hour she is made desolate." - Apocalypse 18:10,17-19

GREAT CATASTROPHE APPROACHES CITIES
"I ask that all unite in a crusade of prayer that the Almighty Father in Heaven will spare you and yours from the great catastrophe that will soon fall upon many. I have asked you--through the intercession of My Mother for you, I ask you as your God to listen well, for you must prepare your families for what is to soon fall upon you. The cities shall feel a great measure of the destruction. My children, My Mother has asked that you pray and retain the directions from Heaven.” – Jesus, June 2, 1979

SHALL BE WIPED FROM THE FACE OF YOUR EARTH
"Remember, My children, Sodom and Gomorrha, the great cities of sin. Your city and the cities of your country shall be wiped away--wiped from the face of your earth, so great is the sin in your cities!” – Our Lady, December 28, 1974

U.S. ON BRINK OF DISASTER
“You have become a frivolous nation, condoning all manner of sin, immorality! Where shall you come to but a fast destruction.
"Your leaders, even the highest men in your courts, now condone homosexuality, an offense to your God and all mankind. And what are the fruits of this condoning of sin? Mur-r-rders!!! Murders of the young! Bands of roaming homosexuals going throughout all of the major cities in your United States of America, the once proud country.
"My children, you must understand that as a nation you are on now the brink of disaster. If you do not listen to My pleas, the counsel I have given you while coming to you upon earth, you will be destroyed as a nation. Countries from far off will stand on boats from your shores and weep out and cry: O whatever has happened to this beautiful country that had all the gold, the silver of the worlds, all the nations bowing to it. And now, within a few short hours, it is destr-r-royed!!!” – Our Lady, June 2, 1979

FORCES OF EVIL
"Your city and all of the cities of your nation and the countries of the world will receive a scourging through their children because of the laxity exercised by parents in safeguarding the morals of their children's souls.
   "The state of the world at the present time has called down upon it a punishment that has been abated for a short time by the acts and sufferings of those who have given themselves as victim souls to the merciful heart of the Father. There are many, My child and My children, in the world who care for their fellow human beings. There are many who will fight to the bitter end in bringing justice to the world, in keeping the light of faith burning in the hearts of the children that can be reached by them.
     "Parents, you have now the chance and the time to right the wrong that has been done to your children. Can you in all sincerity and honesty say that you have been guiltless in the fall of your children? O parents, great suffering has been given to many, and much suffering will still be experienced in your world.
     "Through many earth-years the Eternal Father sent to you prophets; the Eternal Father gave you warnings of what was to come upon mankind. The days approached for the final battle between good and evil, and how many prepared for this battle, My children?
     "In the cities of the United States of America there are forces of evil, dark forces working now in your schools, in your medias of entertainment; and these dark forces have entered into the highest positions of wealth and power.” – Our Lady, September 28, 1977

MANY CITIES SHALL FEEL THE PLAGUE
"Your city and many cities throughout your country shall feel the plague. It is for the murders of the unborn that your city receives the plague.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975

ABORTION
"Your city and many cities and countries throughout the world will suffer for the murders of the Holy Innocents. Life, the spirit of life, is breathed--the soul placed by the Eternal Father into the body of the unborn at the precise, exact moment of conception. Do not fall prey to the fallacy there is no life until the child emerges from the womb. No! I say to you: life begins at the moment of conception. The Eternal Father breathes the spirit of life at the moment of conception. No man shall take this life, for as such he is guilty and found guilty by the Eternal Father of murder!” – Our Lady, September 6, 1975

“SURELY YOU WILL REMEMBER SODOM”
"My heart, as a Mother, is torn asunder because of the permissive attitudes that are allowed by the teaching fathers of My Son's Church. I hear little children of a tender age of three and four being taught immorality of word and action. O My children, the sin upon your earth is far greater than any sin in the past! Surely you will remember Sodom and the punishment that fell upon that city.
"My children, the cities of earth now are polluted with sin and are cesspools of error in teaching, especially in the rearing of the young. O My children, many young children shall be taken from the earth in order to protect them from the pollution.
"While the peoples of earth concern themselves in materialistic pursuits, with the values leaning towards immorality, lesbianism, homosexuality--My children, I could go on and on listing for you all the manner of aberrations that man has allowed to come upon his generation.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1978

GREAT DESTRUCTION IS COMING
"Even at night, satan roams the earth. You will cry out when your children fall, and shall they die without absolution or repentance, My children? Shall a mother's heart be torn not knowing where the soul of the child now is?
"Prepare your households that you may not weep at the great destruction that is coming upon many cities.” – Our Lady, May 23, 1979

A CESSPOOL OF DEGRADATION
"Your city is a cesspool of degradation. Your city shall not escape the punishment planned by the Father. This punishment, this great Chastisement, shall be meted in measure of the numbers of countless murders committed within your city and the cities of the world--cesspools of sin!” – Our Lady, May 30, 1974

“YOU WILL BE REDEEMED BY A BAPTISM OF FIRE”
"Your city, My child, is a cesspool of sin. The cities in your country and the world have become cesspools of sin. Remember Sodom! Remember Gomorrha! The sin being committed now upon earth is far more grievous than during those times. Therefore you will be redeemed by a baptism of fire. The hand of God grows heavy; The Father will not tolerate these murders.” – Our Lady, June 15, 1974

“THE GREAT CITIES SHALL FALL FROM TRIBULATION”
"Know ye all who hear My voice, as a Mother of great sorrow for Her children, that mankind has turned away from the light and sin has become a way of life. The multitudes are hastening to the cities for wealth, riches, and power. The great cities shall fall from tribulation. The great powers of the world shall be defeated slowly, until the ultimate victory over evil comes with My Son and the angels from Heaven.
     "My children, there is now raging upon earth a battle of the spirits. Every man, woman, and child shall be affected by this war of the spirits. You must go forward now as disciples of My Son, and many saints shall come forth from the great tribulation.
     "How many times in My past travels upon earth did I counsel you to avoid the pitfalls that would bring what was to happen in the future upon your present generation? How many listened to My counsel and acted upon it? Too few, My children, too few!
    "My children, do not despise prophecy. The Eternal Father has found it necessary to set among you many prophets. They are not prophets of doom nor false prophets. They are prophets appointed by Heaven to guide you in these desperate days. I say unto you, look for the false prophets in My Son's House, those who bring you doctrines of demons. So powerful are they under Lucifer that many of the hierarchy now go forth with itching ears, searching for a new religion, deluded by satan and his agents.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1978

GREAT DESTRUCTIVE ACT
"There will be a great destructive act committed in your city of New York." - Our Lady, September 14, 1976

MAJOR ROLE OF NEW YORK CITY
"Because of the major role the city of New York plays in the world governments and the governing of your nation, the United States, My child, it is for this reason that satan chose that area for his start to bring into your country a full overthrow of Christian belief." - Our Lady, October 1, 1977

GREATEST PUNISHMENT
"Your city, New York, shall be set in reserve for a punishment far greater than shall be given to any city upon your earth." - Jesus, June 18, 1976

NEW YORK: THE CITY OF MURDER AND EVIL
"My child, you will be discriminated against; you will be scoffed at, for your words from My lips are not those of comfort at this time. They are words of truth of what is to befall man, for he has become a perverse generation, worse than in the time of Noe.
"Your city We place as Babylon--your city, the city of murder and evil, corruption and godlessness--your city will fall!
"Those who have remained in the light and accepted the graces given to strengthen them in these dark days will be saved. This I promise you as your Mother. My Son, and in the Father, does not wish that any be lost. Every opportunity will be given to man to prepare himself and be made ready for the trial.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1973

NEW YORK CITY, BABYLON
"I have come to what I believe, My children, to be an oasis in a barren land, to this seat of evil--your city of Babylon. But, My children, I know within this city of evil there are many that can rise above it and reach out and save their brothers." - Our Lady, April 1, 1972

SHALL BE DESTROYED
"We want the world to know again that there was a locution given to My child, Veronica, and it talks of this: Sodom and Gomorrah. Does this seem similar to you, My children: are you not living now among the realms of Sodom and Gomorrah? And what happened to that adulterous city? It was destroyed, just as Babylon the Great shall be destroyed, also." - Jesus, October 6, 1988

BABLYON THE GREAT WILL FALL
Veronica - And I see now about three-quarters of the world has turned dark, almost black. Now underneath, there are letters forming underneath the large globe. The words are: "WHAT IS TO BE." W-H-A-T "IS TO BE." Now there is a hand pointing up, a hand pointing up far above the globe. And now the finger is pointing and starting to write across the sky: "GOD": G-O-D, and a large letter "I," "IS." "GOD IS." Now the hand is pointing way over to the right side of the flagpole by the trees. Now there, it's--the finger of the hand is pointing, and it's starting to write again: "WARNING." W-A-R-N-I-N-G. "TO MANKIND SOON." S-O-O-N. Now I see an eagle. There's a very large eagle in the sky; and over the eagle is written: "UNITED STATES," and under the eagle is written: "NEW YORK."
Now Our Lady is appearing. She's coming closer. There is a very large cloud formed over the words and the picture of the eagle. Now the cloud is floating over, and Our Lady now is coming through the cloud. And She's now bending over.
Our Lady - "Yes."
Veronica - Our Lady says:
Our Lady - "Most of this message must remain secret at this time. Only part may be revealed.
"This is--Babylon the great will fall. Babylon, the master of deceit, will fall. Many good must suffer as martyrs with the bad. Babylon the great will fall! She has raised herself high above her God, and she invokes the vengeance of a just punishment. Ships will look upon her as she burns. Woefully they will shield their eyes from the sight. Babylon the great, the harlot upon nations, the harlot among nations, will fall. Babylon the great, who has led many astray, will fall.” – July 15, 1973

AS NOTHING IN COMPARISON TO NEW YORK CITY
"I have cried, My child, many bitter tears of sorrow. It is a great remorse to know that We are watching a repetition of the terrible days of old. Sodom and Gomorrha--they were as nothing in comparison to your Babylon today! Your world and your country have accepted sin as a way of life. The young are the victims of their elders. The example is poor, and many souls will be led onto the road to eternal damnation.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1974

MORE CORRUPT THAN SODOM AND GOMORRHA
Veronica – Our Lady says that the United States has given itself over to satan, and many cities are far more corrupt than even in the time of Sodom and Gomorrha. And in this knowledge one may well perceive the just punishment that shall be given by the Eternal Father for a generation without repentance. – May 3, 1978

SUFFERING FAR GREATER THAN EVER SEEN BEFORE
"As in the time of Noe and the cities of sin, Sodom and Gomorrha, it fell upon the Eternal Father to cleanse this evil from your earth.
"As the evil accelerates, there will be given to the Eternal Father no other choice but to loose upon mankind the Ball of Redemption. Many will die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption. Your earth shall go through a suffering far greater than ever seen before by mankind. All who live through this will envy those who have died.” – Jesus, December 27, 1975

COMET DESTROYS LARGE CITY
Veronica - Now I see coming through the sky a tremendous, huge ball. Oh, it's like a giant sun. But as it's traveling through the sky now, it seems to be turning colors--white and orange, and spinning so fast that it's like it's hurling through space. Oh, it has a tremendous heat. It feels like I'm just watching it, standing so close to it, and it's awfully hot. Oh! Oh!
     Oh, now as it's going through space, I see now it's going towards a very large ball. But now as I'm looking at it, the other ball is coming close to--no, it's like, it's a globe of the world. Now this ball is coming.
     And now Our Lady is coming forward.
Our Lady - "Watch, My child, what is to be."
Veronica - Now I'm looking into a street. It's a very large city. And I see people pointing up to the sky, and they look like they are filled with terror. They're running and they're screaming. And I see mothers with children in their arms, and they're running. They're all running, but they seem to be running from the city. They're going out into the country. And I see them running. Oh!
     But now as they look back, a great voice is saying: "Don't look back. Take what you have and flee!"
     Oh, my goodness! Oh, I see, back--if I look back I see what looks like bodies, but I can't recognize them because they look--oh, they look like they've been burned, burned black.
     Now I see--everything is flattened back there. It looked like it was a city, but it's flat. And there's smoke rising, and everything looks like it was just knocked over like a stack of cards. Oh! Oh!
     It doesn't--I'm looking now--it's so quiet; there isn't anything there. It looks like a very large city, but there's no one there.
     Now I'm looking out--I'm standing, and Our Lady said:
Our Lady - "Look, My child, out there. The mariners are weeping."
Veronica - Mariners weeping? Now out on the water there are ships out on the sea. And I see something very strange. I see the men there. They're all holding their hands to their faces. And they look like they're actually crying. The men are crying. And then one man is saying: "But that I could have the dust to throw over my head of that once great city. Oh, Babylon the great, you have fallen!" They're all looking now onto the--over towards the land, and the land is just like it has been completely destroyed. – April 13, 1974

MARINERS WILL STAND FAR OFF AND WEEP
"Now, My child, I will tell you one major reason why the Father sent Me to you and chose this site as a center of reparation. It is because of the murder of the young. It is because your city, your nation, has great influence throughout the world. Your example will be followed by many. But you must return the Father and restore discipline in your daily lives, or you, too, will fall to the sword.
     "I repeat, the evil spreads out like a cancer, strangling all in its web. The mariners will stand far off and weep in grief as they see you burning.* O city of Babylon, your sins have caused your destruction. Repent now or be lost forever."
Veronica - Our Lady is showing me the great disaster. I see large buildings. They're like a deck of cards that have fallen over. A great shaking of the earth, and the buildings are falling.
     Now written over the sky is the word "DEATH": D-E-A-T-H. And underneath it is written the word "SIN": S-I-N. Now Our Lady is looking over to the writing "DEATH, SIN."
     Our Lady says:
Our Lady - "They are inseparable, My child." – March 18, 1974
