The Mysterious 11 and the World Trade Center
Disaster
On Tuesday, September 11, 2001,
the worst tragedy in the history of the United States occurred, as American
Airlines Flight 11 bombed into the World Twin Tower. As authorities were
frantically searching for what went wrong on Flight 11, just 55 minutes later,
like a speeding missile, with 92 innocent people, American Airlines Flight 77
exploded through Twin Towers number two. No one who has seen the TV scenes of
the airplanes turned deadly missile exploding into the Trade Center, full of
innocent victims, can ever be the same.
Our
country was shattered. . .
Our
lives were shattered. . .
For
many, their loved ones and dreams were shattered. . .
In such a terrible and senseless tragedy, it’s
only natural to search for some possible "hidden" meaning. Is there a
deeper reason for such a tragedy? Is God trying to get America’s attention?
Why did God allow something so evil to happen? Could something so
devastating, so evil, so senseless, happen and God not have something to say?
Many people have emailed about the numerous
occurrences of the number "eleven" found in the disastrous events
associated with the September 11th World Trade Center Bombing.

Does the repeatedly occurrences
of the number eleven have a deeper meaning?
Or are they just a weird
coincident?
Note. There is also another
unusual occurrences of another number that we’ll look at later.
As any serious
Bible student knows, God has specific meanings for certain numbers. Several
books have been written about the Bible and numbers, such as, Biblical
Mathematics by Ed. F. Vallowe, Bible Numerics by Dr. Peter S. Ruckman,
Number in Scripture by E.W. Bullinger, Numbers in the Bible by
Robert D. Johnston, and Triskaidekaphodia - The Fear Of The Number 13 by
Dr. Paul Heaton.
Bulllinger,
writes in his excellent book, Number in Scripture:
"The question which we have to answer is--Is number used
with design or by chance? Surely if God uses it, it must be with infinite wisdom
and with glorious perfection. And so it is. Each number has its own significance
. . . Numbers, . . . and their secrets, hold an important place in the words as
well as in the works of God. . ."
(E.W. Bullinger, Number in Scripture, pp. 20-21)
Ed Vallowe,
writes in Biblical Mathematics:
"If the Bible is an inspired Book as it claims to be, are
not its numbers as well as its words inspired? One of its books is called
'Numbers'. . . One out of every five Scriptures in the Bible contains a number.
. .The Bible is a book from beginning to end that is built upon a vast system of
numbers which is interwoven with the doctrines of the Word of God."
(Ed F. Vallowe, Biblical Mathematics, p. 20)
Is there a specific meaning
connected with the number eleven found in the Word of God?
There are two clear meanings
associated with the number eleven.
One meaning of the number
"eleven" is urgent, the last chance, or something is about to happen.
This meaning is expressed in
the "eleventh hour". The Lord Jesus Christ speaks of the number
"eleven" only twice, both times in Matthew 20, in the phrase "the
eleventh hour".
The "eleventh hour" is
urgency, the last chance before something happens.
Matthew 20
20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into
his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the
marketplace,
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I
will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I
will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They say unto him, because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye
also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call
the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man a penny.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more;
and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the
house,
12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal
unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not
thou agree with me for a penny?
In Biblical times, a day was
measured in 12-hour increments, from sunrise to sunset, and the twelfth hour was
darkness and night. So the phrase the eleventh hour referred to the very last
hour, the hour just before sunset.
In Matthew 20, the Lord Jesus
coined the famous phrase "the eleventh hour". The "eleventh
hour" has echoed through the years as a warning or urgency: "time is
running out" – "the last possible moment."
A few secular definitions of
the "eleventh hour":
Idioms & Axioms currently used in America,
says of the "eleventh hour":
"To come at "the eleventh hour" implies that it comes in the last
hour before the deadline."
(Idioms & Axioms currently used in America, www.pride-unlimited.com/probono/idioms1.html)
Idiom
Archive, writes:
"at the eleventh hour (adv): at the latest or last possible time. The
latest possible moment. Time just before it is too late"
(Idiom Archive, www.eltc.com/idioms.html)
Info
Please, has under "the eleventh hour":
"The eleventh hour: the last possible moment for doing something: to change
plans at the eleventh hour."
(www.infoplease.com)
The number eleven is clearly
connected with "the last chance".
Is the Lord sending America and
the world an urgent "eleventh hour" warning? Are we standing at the
"eleventh hour" before the "deadline"?
Are we watching the
"eleventh hour" of a major event in human history?
Maybe. . .
The Bible plainly paints
another portrait of the number eleven. One that unmistakably weaves throughout
the Word of God.
And one that is much clearer. .
. and much, much more alarming.
The Bible clearly associates the
number eleven with "judgment".
THE FIRST
JUDGMENT AFTER THE FALL. . .
The first "judgment"
executed upon mankind after the fall of man, resulted from Cain killing his
brother Abel. The judgment was executed in Genesis chapter four verse "eleven".
Genesis 4:11
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to
receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
Somebody's probably
thinking. . . Whoa!
Just a minute. . . The chapter and verse numbers aren't "inspired" —
there are no chapter and verse numbers in the "original Hebrew"
manuscripts! So that eliminates any chapter/verse number "meanings".
If the chapters and numbers for
the verses aren't "inspired" — are the "vowels" and
"spaces"? There are no vowels, spaces or lower case letters in the
"original Hebrew" text. (also the Hebrew text read left to right).
If only the "original
Hebrew" manuscript is inspired, etc. — let's remove the spaces, vowels
and lower case letters from the Old Testament! By doing so, can you read the
following chapter?

Have we

Thank you. . . ;-)
THE SECOND
JUDGMENT WAS NOAH’S FLOOD. . .
The second judgment was the
flood of Noah’s day. The "judgment" was executed in Genesis chapter
seven verse "eleven".
Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken
up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
THE THIRD
JUDGMENT FELL UPON CANAAN. . .
Noah had three sons; Shem, Ham
and Japheth. Because that Ham looked upon the "nakedness of his
father" God executed judgment against Ham’s son Canaan. Note: God
couldn’t curse Ham because God had already blessed Ham in Genesis 9:1, so the
curse fell to Canaan.
Genesis 9:25, describes the
judgment of Canaan:
Genesis
9:25
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his
brethren.
Ever wondered why God
"judged" Ham's son Canaan? Ham had at least four sons; Cush, Mizraim,
Phut, and Canaan (Genesis 10:6). Why the curse on Canaan? Normally, the curse or
blessing is bestowed upon the first-born. Why the "cursed be Canaan"?
Was it because Canaan had
"eleven" sons? The "curse of Canaan" was executed upon the
"eleven" sons of Canaan.
Genesis
10:15-18
15 And Canaan begat Sidon (1) his firstborn, and Heth, (2)
16 And the Jebusite, (3) and the Amorite, (4) and the Girgasite, (5)
17 And the Hivite, (6) and the Arkite, (7) and the Sinite, (8)
18 And the Arvadite, (9) and the Zemarite, (10) and the Hamathite: (11) and
afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
THE JUDGMENT AT
THE TOWER OF BABEL. . .
The Bible describes the
infamous "Tower of Babel". The Tower of Babel was Nimrod’s attempt
to bring in history’s heralded "one-world-order". And God executed
judgment on Nimrod and company by confounding their language, so they couldn’t
understand each other:
The judgment on Nimrod occurred
in Genesis chapter "eleven" verse seven.
Genesis 11:7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
THE JUDGMENT OF
THE MEN OF SODOM. . .
Because of the wickedness of
Sodom and Gomorrah, God sent two angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. As the
two angels came to Lot’s house, the men of Sodom surrounded Lot’s house,
calling for Lot to let them have the men (the angels) for sexual perversion. And
the two angels executed "judgment" on the men of Sodom by smiting them
with blindness. The judgment was executed in Genesis chapter 19 verse
"eleven":
Genesis 19:11
And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both
small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
THE JUDGMENT OF
EGYPT. . .
In B.C. 1700, the children of
Israel were slaves to Egypt. And God called a man named Moses to deliver Israel
to the "promised land". But Pharaoh, king of Egypt refused to let
Israel go. Because Pharaoh, king of Egypt refused to release the children of
Israel, the Lord executed "eleven" judgments against Egypt:
THE JUDGMENT OF
ISRAEL. . .
After the Lord God delivered
Israel from the bondage of Egypt, Israel was to return to the land promised to
Abraham in Genesis 17:8. As the children of Israel came close to the promised
land, in Numbers 13, they stopped at Kadeshbarnea. There, they sent out twelve
men, one from each tribe, to search out the promised land. Even though, the Lord
God had already promised the land to Israel, when the spies returned —
"eleven" elected not to go in and possess the "promised
land". In Numbers 13:30, it was only, Caleb that said, ". . .Let us go
up at once, and possess it;. . ." The other "eleven", the Bible
says in Numbers 13:32, brought back an "evil report".
Numbers
13:32
And they [the eleven] brought up an evil report of the land which they
had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we
have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and
all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
Because of the evil report of
"eleven", Israel refused to go into the Promised Land. And
"judgment" was executed on Israel as they wandered in the wilderness
for forty years.
Because of "eleven"
– judgment was executed upon Israel.
But there’s more. . .
In Deuteronomy 1:2, the Bible
specifically tells us when Israel stopped in Kadeshbarnea, in Numbers 13, where
the Lord executed the judgment upon Israel – it was an "eleven" days
journey from Horeb!
Deuteronomy
1:1-2
1 These be the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side Jordan in
the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel,
and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir
unto Kadeshbarnea.)
If Israel would have only kept
going! If Israel would have traveled twelve days – only one more day, they
would have been in the God ordained, promised land. But because they stopped at
"eleven" – judgment was executed upon Israel.
|
Because
of an "eleven" days journey. . .
| |
|
Because
of "eleven" men’s evil report. . . | |
|
Judgment
was executed upon Israel – for forty, long, wandering, suffering years!
Is there any doubt
"eleven" is God’s number for judgment? But there’s much more
evidence. . . THE
JUDGMENT OF SAMSON. . . Judgment was executed upon
Samson because of "eleven" hundred pieces of silver. The
Philistines paid Delilah "eleven" hundred pieces of silver to sell
Samson out. Judges 16:5 THE
JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON. . . One of the keys for
unlocking any specific meaning to certain numbers in the Bible is match the
book number, chapter and verse with the selected number. Dr. Peter Ruckman
explains this technique in his book, Bible Numerics: "As a general practice in trying to find a number, the
thing you do is find the number of that book – like if you are looking for
eleven, you take the eleventh book in the Bible. Then when you have
found the eleventh book, take the eleventh chapter and look at the eleventh
verse." Shall we try it? The eleventh book is I
Kings. I Kings 11:11 reads: Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done
of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have
commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give
it to thy servant. I kings 11:11 is a obvious
reference to judgment upon Solomon. Solomon was the greatest,
mightiest and wealthiest kingdom on earth during his day – ditto U.S.A.
And because Solomon disobeyed God’s word, and "kept not my covenant
and my statutes", God removed His blessing and protection from him –
ditto U.S.A? THE
JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL. . . Only TWO Kings, Jehoiakim
and Zedekiah, reigned "eleven" years in Israel and both brought
terrible judgment upon Israel. THE
JUDGMENT OF JEHOIAKIM. . . 2 Kings 23 and 2 Chronicles
36, reads judgment was executed during Jehoiakim’s "eleven" year
kingdom. 2 Kings 23:36 – 24:4 2 Chronicles 36:5-8 THE
JUDGMENT OF ZEDEKIAH. . . 2 Kings 24 and 2 Chronicles
36, tells of the judgment that was also executed during Zedekiah’s
"eleven" year kingdom. Notice also, in 25:2, Jerusalem was
besieged "eleven" years before judgment fell. 2 Kings 24 2 Chron 36 It’s worth noting also,
that Zedekiah was the "last chance" or "eleventh hour".
Zedekiah was the last king. After Zedekiah, Nebuchadnezzar in 606 B.C. came
and destroyed Israel. And the nation of Israel ceased to exist until 1948! Zedekiah reigned
"eleven" years, at the "eleventh hour" — the
"last chance" before judgment that was from the ". . .wrath
of the LORD. . . till there was no remedy." Is there any doubt
"eleven" is God’s number for judgment? Somebody is probably
thinking, that’s all "just coincident". . . Nothing is "just
coincident" in the Word of God. . . Every single word, every
single number is EXACTLY what the Lord ordained. Every single word, every
single number is there for a purpose – nothing in the words of God is just
coincident! Luke 4:4 According to the Lord Jesus
Christ, inspiration of the words of God, apply even to the smallest,
"one jot or one title". Matthew 5:18 A "jot" is the
smallest letter in the Greek or Hebrew. The "title" is accents and
diacritical points. A "title" would be similar to the
"dot" on our "i". In other words, a jot or title is the
smallest stroke of the pen. And if, inspiration, preservation and
fulfillment includes each "jot" or "title", then numbers
in the Word of God, would certainly be inspired. Even the world system,
unknowingly, connects the number "eleven" with judgment. In Brewer's Dictionary of
Twentieth-Century Phrase and Fable, under the definition for "eleven
plus", Brewer's writes: "eleven plus The name given to the much-abused
selection test formerly set to school-children at the age of eleven,
or just over that age, and used in England and Wales as a means of judging
their suitability for the various types of secondary education. .
." Somebody’s probably
thinking. . . You could do the same thing with any number. THE
JUDGMENT OF TRUSS. . . Ezek 26:1-4 THE
JUDGMENT OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT. . . Ezek 30:20-23 THE ELEVEN
APOSTLES. . . Judgment at Calvary was
executed on the Lord Jesus Christ while there were "eleven"
apostles. The judgment of our sins
was placed on the sinless, Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. He
died as a curse. God’s judgment for sins was satisfied. (Isaiah 53:11) Galatians 3:13 Even though, the Lord Jesus
taught and preached openly for over three years, it was only after the
defection of Judas, and the "eleven" apostles that
"judgment" was executed. The Bible says, the night
Judas defected, Jesus Christ was taken to the hall of "judgment": John 18: Ever wondered why, in Acts
chapter one, just before the Holy Spirit comes in Acts 2, that the apostles
chose a replacement apostle for Judas? One reason is they needed twelve
Apostles because they were promised to set upon twelve thrones, one for each
tribe of Israel (Matt. 19:28) But could it also be . . . that the judgment
had passed. And the "eleven" Apostles must now be
"twelve" Apostles? THE BIBLE -
GOD'S JUDGMENT ON MAN. . . The number of books in the
Bible is 66 or 6 x 11. "Six" is the number for man.
"Eleven" is the number for judgment. The Bible is God’s
judgment on man. That’s one reason it’s
the most hated book on the earth. That’s why the Bible has been burnt,
condemned, mocked, forbidden, attacked throughout history. That’s why
people fight against having the simple Ten Commandments displayed. It
"judges" them. Hebrews 4:12 says, the
Bible is a "discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart". A
discerner is a judge. Hebrews 4:12 All through the Bible, the
words of God are referred to as "judgments". Exodus 24:3 In John 12:47-48, Jesus
Christ, said the Bible shall "judge" us in the last day John 12:47-48 God’s "66" (6 x
11) books are "judgments" (11) against (x) mankind (6). In fact,
you can not even be saved, until you are "judged" by the Word of
God and found guilty! Romans 5:6-8 Another interesting
reference to the Word of God, "eleven" and judgment, occurs in
Psalm 119. The subject of Psalm 119,
(which is the longest chapter in the Bible), is the word of God. It’s
interesting, that the word "judgment" occurs 22 times in Psalm
119. 22 is 2 x 11. In the Bible, one of the meanings of the number
"two" is a "witness". I also found it curious, that
Psalm 119 = 1 + 1 + 9 = 11. Matthew 18:16 says: | |
|
Two
thieves witnessed the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ (Mark
15:27) | |
|
Two
angels witnessed the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke
24:4) | |
|
Two angels witnessed the ascension of the Lord
Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:10-11)It’s interesting
the book of Revelation has 22 chapters, 2 (witness) x 11 (judgment). The
book of Revelation is the "testimony" (Rev. 1:2 – a testimony is
a witness) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the faithful "witness" (Rev.
1:5) of the "judgment" of God. (Rev 6:17, 11:18, 14:10, 14;19,
15:1, 16:1, et al). Guess what shows up in Revelation chapter 11?
The "two" witnesses (hence 2 x 11 = 22)! Revelation
11:3 When Jesus Christ sent the Apostles out to be
a witness, He sent them out "two and two": Matthew
6:7 Even today, every "witnessing"
program or course, I’ve ever seen sends out the "witnesses" into
groups of "two" (ditto Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc.). Also,
every major event in the Bible, the Lord has at least two witnesses. Why do
you think Moses took Joshua with him into Mount of God to receive the ten
commandments (Exodus 24:13)? The word of God is a "witness" (2)
to the righteous "judgment" (11) of God. The 22 (2 x 11) "judgments" in
Psalm 119:
If you also notice in your Bible, Psalm 119,
has 22 divisions (2 x 11) for the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This is
the only chapter in the Bible with such divisions. Interesting. . . THE JUDGMENT OF JESUS CHRIST.
. . Jesus Christ was 33 (3 x 11) years old when
He died on Calvary. The number "three", in the Bible, clearly
refers to deity, or God. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16).
When Jesus Christ died on Calvary, God (3) took our judgment (11). Gen
22:8 Acts
20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which
he hath purchased with his own blood. THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT. . . Interesting, when John was watching the Great
White Throne judgment in Revelation 20, John saw "eleven" things,
which just so happens to begin in verse "eleven". Revelation
20:11-15 There is no doubt. . . The number
"eleven" is connected to judgment and urgency in the Word of God. AND THE NUMBER SEVEN. . . There is also found in the Bible and in the
world an interconnection between the numbers "eleven" and
"seven". E.W. Bullinger, dedicates several pages in
his book, Number in Scripture, to the "seven" and
"eleven" combination. Bullinger writes: "It
is sufficient for our purpose now, merely to note that these two numbers,
seven and 11, have been specially selected. . . that there is such a
remarkable relation between them must be due to design. . .Why should it
be these two numbers seven and 11? Why not any other two numbers? Or why two
at all? Why not three? We may or may not be able to explain why, but we
cannot close our eyes to the fact." Bullinger lists several incredible relations
between the number 7 and 11, such as: | |
|
In
Music: seven primary notes and eleven semi-notes. | |
|
In
Geometry: As 7 is to 11, so is the height of a pyramid (whose base is a
square) to the length of its base. As 7 is to 11 expresses also the ratio between the diameter of a circle and its semi-circumference; or between a semicircle and its chord. | |
|
(Note:
Bullinger (pp. 20-47) has much more detailed info on this 7 and 11
phenomenon in relation to science, math, etc)
The "7 and 11"
combo has some interesting occurrences in the world system. For instance:
The famous dice roll of "seven come eleven", or the famous chain
of convenience stores of "Seven Eleven". It’s also interesting
that "seven" and "eleven" are the only two primary
numbers that rhyme. It’s also worth noting that 7 = 3 + 4, and 11 = 5 + 6,
and that 3,4,5,6 are a perfect arithmetic progression, and the product of 3
x 4 x 5 x 6 = 360. Our world is divided into 360 parts; for instance, there
are 360 days in the Biblical year, 360 degrees in a circle, 360 degrees of
longitude and latitude, and the "circle of heaven" used in the
Zodiac is divided into 360 parts. What about the number
"seven" in scripture? The meaning of the number
seven is one of the clearest in scripture. It is the number for completion.
This is found throughout scripture. Peter Ruckman, writes in
his book, Bible Numerics: "Now we come to the number Seven. There is no need for a
great deal of thought or research or study or consideration as Seven is so
obviously the number of completion that it doesn’t need any
justification." (Peter S. Ruckman, Bible Numerics, p.23)
A few examples of the
number seven and completion in the scriptures: The Creation: (this is the
first time the number seven occurs) Genesis 2:2 The last book in the Bible,
the book of Revelation is filled with the number seven (59 times in
Revelation): For example, in the last
book, Revelation, there are: | |
|
Seven
Churches (Rev 1:4) | |
|
Seven
Spirits (Rev 1:4) | |
|
Seven
Candlesticks (Rev 1:12) | |
|
Seven
Stars (Rev 1:16) | |
|
Seven

|

|

|
Seven Kings (Rev. 17:10)Why so many
"sevens" in the book of Revelation. Because Revelation completes
the plan of God – it’s completed — at seven. A couple of other examples of seven and
completion (and many, many more could be given) Revelation
10:7 Rev
16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and
there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne,
saying, It is done. If "seven" is the number for
completion, and if "eleven" is the number for judgment – is
there a connection in the Word of God? Did you notice that the "judgment"
of the flood of Noah occurred in Genesis 7:11 and the "judgment"
of the Tower of Babel occurred in Genesis 11:7? (Yes. There is a reason. . .
You should be able to figure that one out.) There is also some peculiar occurrences of
the number "seven" in the World trade Center bombing – and
significantly — it’s relationship to the number "eleven". | |

11th is the 254th day of the year: 5 + 4 + 2 = 11, but 5 + 4 - 2 = 7

New
York City = 11 letters, but New York = 7 letters
| |

Flight
11 had 92 passengers, 9 + 2 = 11, but 9 - 2 = 7
| |
|
The
second flight was Flight 77 = 7 x 11

And
the month of September is actually the Latin name for seven!
Does
this mean, with the large number of occurrences of the number of
"eleven", that God allowed the Trade Center bombing as a judgment
on the US? Could this be a warning that America is heading for judgment? Does the combination of "seven" and
"eleven" mean that America is finished, complete, and headed for
judgment? Have you wondered, how did the greatest and
most widespread surveillance technology in history fail to get a hint of the
Trade Center bombing? With such elaborate spy technology as the NSA’s
Echelon, which captures every form of electronic communication, such as
telephones, computers, emails, etc. — how did we miss it? With spy
satellite systems that can spot a tennis ball, with their "eye" on
Bin Laden — how did they not see something happening? How did countries
like Israel, with world renown terrorism surveillance technology miss it?
The Trade Center bombing was planned for over a year, involving hundreds of
people, several countries, millions of dollars, passport fraud, airplane
licenses, and scores of other "red flag" warnings — and yet over
and over — everyone missed it! How? Congress has rightly, called for
investigations into how in the world, with all our high-tech surveillance
technology miss something this huge and elaborate. It’s almost as if
somehow, 10,000 to 20,000 surveillance and spy personnel, were
"blind" while all this went on. As Christians across America has
asked, "Did God remove His protection from America?" Is America heading for judgment? Maybe. . . Maybe not. . . To be honest, no one, but God knows. This could be the "beginning of the
end" of America the great, or the greatest days in America’s history
could be just around the corner. No one knows for certain . . . But one thing we do know for certain — we
will all stand before the judgment of God. . . Make no mistake about it — one day, you
will stand before God. One day you will die and you will stand
before the judgment of God. Hebrews 9:27 is very clear: And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this THE JUDGMENT.
And friend, there is only ONE that can get
you through that judgment. . . ONLY ONE! The Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus saith unto him, I
am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me. Death is certain. . . One day you will die. .
. I remember seeing on TV, the wife of a man
that died during the World Trade Center bombing. She was crying and saying,
"It started off just like any other day. He got ready for work. Kissed
me going out the door. And a few hours later — he’s dead! He had no
warning!" You could have been in the World Trade
Centers. . . This very minute — you could very easily be
in heaven — or in hell. It could be tomorrow, maybe next week, next
year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 50 years . . . Boast
not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. One thing is certain — death is coming. Friend, I want to ask you the most important
question you’ll ever answer. . . Have you ever received the Lord Jesus Christ
as your Savior? Have you trusted the payment Jesus Christ made on the cross
of Calvary for your sin? To be honest, the real reason for this
article is not the World Trade Center bombing, that’s mainly to get your
attention to illustrate just how fragile and uncertain life is. The real
reason for this article — I do not want you to spend eternity in a lake of
fire. And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake
of fire. When I first heard the tragic news of the
World Trade Center bombing my very first thought was how many of those
unsuspecting people were prepared to meet God? Are you prepared to meet God? One thing the World Trade Center certainly
showed us death can happen in an unsuspecting second — with no "last
chance" of getting prepare to meet God. And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this THE JUDGMENT.
Hebrews 9:27 Friend, If you've never
trusted the Lord Jesus Christ, you can be saved this minute on this
computer. YOU
CAN BE SAVED THIS VERY MINUTE! It's
simple to be saved. . .

Know
you're a sinner. "As
it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans
3:10 | |
|
That Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins. "Who
his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, ..."
1 Peter 2:24 | |
|
And the best way you know how, simply trust Him, and Him
alone as your personal Savior. "For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John
3:16 WOULD
YOU LIKE TO BE SAVED?
And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: What
man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? He
that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. For
what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? |
