Statue of Liberty in Brazil has Fallen

Many years ago, there was a video about the destruction of the Statue of Liberty being a sign of Mashiah.  It was based on R' Yaakov Nathan's find.

Here's the Hebrew-only version of the video. 


I couldn't find the version with English subtitles, but it did exist a couple decades ago.

To review, over 1500 years ago, the child-prophet Nahman Ketufa prophesied about the Colossus of Rhodes falling.  But many nowadays have interpreted it to be referring to the Statue of Liberty.  This is because the Colossus had been destroyed many years ago and the Geula has still not come.  It therefore makes sense to say that it refers to its close copy - the Statue of Liberty.  The video explains that Emma Lazarus' poem, "The New Colossus", is on a plaque on the base of the Statue of Liberty. 

I referred to it a long time ago in this post, and the video is even older than that.

Sefaria has the prophecy along with an English translation of the introduction of The prophesy from Nahman Ketufa, but not of the prophesy itself, presumably since it is difficult to understand even for native Hebrew speakers.

Here is the relevant part of the prophey:

צ׳) צולמא דרודוס [דרודם], כד אתיהב לגרוס, קריב אגרוס, רומי למהרוס.

It is not clear, but it seems to say that when the Colossus will be destroyed, then Rome will be destroyed, and the Geula will come.

Due to strong winds, a replica of the Statue of Liberty - admittedly a copy of a copy of the Colossus - toppled in Brazil.
