Shallow Water
These locations are from The Great American Writing on the Wall by AC Katz, I will be adding some of my interpretation, but the locations are in order as the eclipse moved across the US.
Nebraska means shallow water. This reminds us of a story of a prophet who gets into the water, at first it is shallow, but it gets deeper and deeper until eventually it is over his head. New believers and those left behind will now be in "shallow water".
Berea -- we start here, the bereans were more noble because they examined the word to see if these things were so. Those left behind ignored the word or were asleep or in some other way were not that serious about it, however, after all these things take place they begin again and this time they are Bereans, examining the word to see if these things are so.
Alliance -- This is the big event in the world, they respond to catastrophe by all rallying around the Antichrist and making an alliance. The One world government.
Antioch -- At the same time the Christians begin to form small home meetings and refuge cities. Antioch was the first place in the book of Acts where believers were called Christians, indicating that they were expressing Jesus Christ.
Cairo -- This is now the second time that the lights have gone out over the capital of the world. Darkness descends as the Antichrist is revealed.
St. Paul -- Here we have Paul mentioned again, along with the Antichrist we have the two witnesses, and remember, they are witnessing that Jesus is Lord and the Bible is the word of God.
Geneva -- Again, we have the city where the UN is headquartered indicating the one world government. Two or three witnesses are required to confirm every word, we have two witnesses that there will be judgement on the world and judgement on this one world government.
Hebron -- This is the mountain where the fallen angels came to. When the manchild is raptured to the heavens Satan and his angels are cast out. This is going to be a terrifying time for unbelievers. If you believe in Jesus you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise and the fallen angels cannot touch you.
Mount Gilead -- This is where Laban made a peace treaty with Jacob. Song of Songs describes the woman's hair as being like "goats on the sides of Mount Gilead". Hair is given to a woman for a head covering, her father is given to her for a head covering and her husband is given to her as a head covering. Laban and Jacob were "goats". Any woman can submit to a husband that is a shining white knight on a beautiful stallion, but these women (Leah and Rachel) were submitting themselves to a husband that was a goat. That is the most beautiful head covering. The situation now for Christians will not be rich, and glorious. You will be submitting to a goat of a husband, but that is the path to salvation.
Alexandria -- This is considered Egypt's second capital. Antichrist will use every form of deception he can so that if possible he can deceive even the elect. Same lump of cheese in a different wrapping paper. In the NT Apollos was born in Alexandria. Apollos distorted the gospel and he is named after the Greek god that refers to the Antichrist.
Crete -- This is where Paul's ship was shipwrecked. It seems like it is bad news, but in reality God changes the death water to wine. Paul heals the people of the island, he saves everyone on the ship alive, the people on the island give them a new boat and they ride on to Rome victorious.
Palmyra -- meanwhile Palmyra was where the arch of Baal was indicating the worship of Baal. This arch has been placed in an auspicious spot in Washington DC indicating they have descended into Baal worship and have become the Great Babylon. This next stop of the eclipse indicates God's judgement on the Baal worship.
St. Mary -- The next city is a clear reference to the Catholic church and the "Queen of Heaven" which was also part of the Babylonian worship.
Syracuse -- The city in Sicily where Paul landed. Any city that ends in "cuse" in the US has a salt mine. Believers are to be the "salt of the earth". Salt was used to preserve food, kill germs and was also used as fertilizer.
Salem -- now we come to "peace". This does not mean "the absence of war, it means that Jesus is our peace. If you have faith that He is the King of Kings and our savior then you follow Him in peace regardless of what the enemy threatens to do.
Troy -- A famous city in the Illiad and the Odyssey of Homer. This is where we get "trojan horse" from. Expect the Antichrist to employ this deceit. In this deceit the enemy feigns surrender and gives a big gift. When you bring that gift into the city it will destroy you from within.
St. Joseph -- Again, a reference to the Catholic church indicating who might be involved in this trojan horse, but also we are seeing Mary and Joseph in "shallow water" indicating the word of God being incarnated into these new, born again believers.
King City
Paradise
Liberty -- These are the next three spots. The city of the great King is a reference to Jerusalem and particularly the Jerusalem which is above, which is our mother. Paradise is where the thief who believed in Jesus went after being crucified. Liberty is a word for freedom. This indicates the believers who hold to Jesus as King, are martyred by the Antichrist and in death are free.
Independence -- This is a reference to those who are not joined to Jesus, they trust in themselves. In the US people have been raised to think we should all be independent. Well this will turn into a cruel mockery. Once you take the mark of the beast there will be no independence and no salvation. You will be joined to Satan and joined to his eternal damnation.
Town of the large canoes and tribe of the superior men
Pride goes before a fall. Missouri means town of the large canoes and Illinois means tribe of the superior men. The first four states have already given us a view of the tribulation from the rapture of the Bride, through the revealing of Antichrist, the two witnesses, the mark of the beast and being martyred.
Think of this as being more about the central issue, this is where the two eclipses intersect.
We begin with Alma, a young woman, a virgin. This is what the Lord wants for His bride. All of this other stuff, the wars, the atomic bombs in the cities, the desolation, this is simply the price the Lord is willing to pay for this girl. Then we go to Florence (Mo) which happens to be the first city hit in Europe by the Covid pandemic in 2020. Then we go to Syracuse for the second time. A city on Paul's evangelical journey, a salt mine, once again reminding us that the believers are salt and light. Next we come to Pisgah, the name of the mountain that Moses viewed the promised land. At this point we are so close to the promised land we can almost taste it. In addition, Moses might be one of the two witnesses, certainly a top candidate.
California
Columbia
Mexico
Yep, these are the next three places. Judgement will fall hard on California and the district of Columbia, they have forsaken the Lord and embrace pagan worship and Satanic worship. They opened the door to millions of migrants from Mexico, the "trojan horse" that will bring this judgement.
Enon -- This is where John the Baptist was baptizing. So on one hand we will see terrible judgements on the East and West coast of the US, but in the center you will see people flocking out to the wilderness to be baptized of John the Baptist (signifying the two witnesses).
St. Elizabeth -- A reference to Queen Elizabeth perhaps. There is a strong possibility that the Antichrist will be descended from her.
Kingdom City -- I think this might not be referring to the church but to Rome. There will be a whole lot of deception and attempts to deceive even the elect.
Reform -- A reference to the reformation. Remember, believers are not "reformed" they are "reborn". That said, many who were in the apostate church will repent and be reformed into home churches seeking the Lord Jesus and His righteousness.
New Florence
Americus
Rhineland
Fredericksburg
Vienna
Obvious references to Europe, Italy, Germany, and Austria. The US as a superpower will be destroyed and that will then leave Europe as the world power.
Hope
Canaan
Safe
So this seems to be a reference to the church during the tribulation. There will still be hope despite desperate situations, Jesus will be our good land and you will be safe in Him. This is in contrast to the kingdom of the Antichrist.
Cuba
Washington
Defiance
Cuba is derived from a word that probably means "great place". Washington is derived from a word that probably means hunting. Defiance is self explanatory. Nimrod, a type of the Antichrist, was a "great hunter" and this is explained to mean he hunted men. Antichrist will be hunting down the Christians at this point. He will portray himself as a great man, a great leader of a great place. Anyone who defies him will be hunted down and executed. I would recommend speaking the gospel, worshipping the Lord, spending time in the word and joyfully going to your execution. Who wants to be caught hiding in some hole in the ground like Saddam Hussein.
Union
Huzzah
These are the next two places. United with the Lord as one and you have a shout of the Lord expressing approval and delight. This is the goal, that the Lord would say "well done, thou good and faithful servant".
There are many more places -- to be continued...
