God punished Mexico. Dios Castigo a Mexico por sus hechicerias y sus brujerias. Dios odia tanto estas cosas. Por eso Dios los castigo. Porque los ama como a quien su hijo no ama,porque los castiga como a quien su padre corrige ama a su hijo? Porque Dios es amor, y le castiga con amor lleno de fervor porque Mexico no se arrepiente. Mexico tiene que arrepentirse y dejar de racismos y de todos sus pecados y que vengan a Cristo Jesus que murio por todos ustedes y no lo rechazen y vengan a el.
