Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministry is calling believers to attention after a significant and seemingly symbolic event occurred on Sat. May 17, 2025.
According to Grace, the Mexican navy ship named Cuauhtémoc, which struck the Brooklyn Bridge, is laden with prophetic meaning.
“Yesterday, something very profound happened,” Grace shared in a video message. “A Mexican ship that is called the Cuauhtémoc…hit the Brooklyn Bridge…”

Grace emphasized the spiritual and symbolic significance of both the ship and the bridge. “The Cuauhtémoc is translated to ‘Descending Eagle,’ and refers to an Aztec ruler. Descending Eagle can also be translated as ‘bringing the eagle down,’” she explained. In Grace’s view, this phrase may represent a targeted message to America, whose national symbol is the eagle.
The fact that this occurred at the Brooklyn Bridge—one of the nation’s most iconic and symbolic structures—just may be more than pure coincidence. Grace tied this moment directly to a prophetic word she had received previously. The prophecy reads:
“And says the Spirit of the Lord this day: ‘Bridges,’ says the Lord. ‘Watch the bridges in your nation with symbolic names to your freedom, for another round is about to occur…Pray and intercede, for some of these plans will fall through the prayer of the saints and will not have the effect desired. The largest bridge in your nation…pray,’ says the Lord. ‘Pray.’”
Grace believes the striking of the bridge by a vessel named Cuauhtémoc is not coincidental. “Something is definitely going on,” she warned. “And I don’t think this was any accident, either—that this was a Mexican ship, as well.”
The event, as she interprets it, is part of a larger pattern of prophetic signs. “These profound events are happening for a reason,” Grace said, urging Christians to step into the role of spiritual watchmen. “Be watchmen right now. Keep watch on this.”
Her exhortation is not simply to observe, but to actively pray and intercede in light of current events. She believes that through the prayers of the saints, some destructive plans may be thwarted.
