Following the September 11, 2001, Moslem terrorist attacks by airliner on the U.S., the U.S. has now justifiably declared a war on terror against these Muslim terrorists of Ussamah bin Laden and the countries that harbor them, including the Taliban in Afghanistan. I must say that is has been a wonderful thing for we Americans to see on Television the joy of the women of Afghanistan after they have been freed by the U.S. invasion from the reign of terror of the Taliban. It is a wonderful thing the U.S. has done, to free the people of Afghanistan from this great evil under the Taliban: people's limbs were hacked off in the stadium by the Taliban as a show of terror, and young women were abducted and sold as slaves by the Taliban. Paintings and Buddhist statues were destroyed by the Talibban. This war began as a war to defend the U.S., but a side benefit of it has been to free the people of Afghanistan from a great evil, the most backwards and oppressive government on earth. And similarly the U.S. has freed the people of Iraq from this murderous dictator, Saddam Hussein.
Astrologically, note that the Sept. 11, 2001 attack occurred 3 months after the planet Mars, connected with war, reached opposition, being the brightest its been in 13 years. Also, beginning in June 2001, a giant dust storm spread over the planet Mars, covering half of the planet by September, another indication of war. Also, war occurring is related to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding beginning in April 2001, as described on this page.
So how does this fit into the pattern of the End Time events that I describe on the main page of this Revelation 13 web site, related to the rise of the Antichrist? How does this war against terrorism relate to the prophecies described in Revelation?
Elsewhere on this site I explain my belief that the greatest long term threats in this decade will be from a Russia / Red China alliance, as well as Muslim Terrorists and Iran getting weapons of mass destruction.
It was a good step for the U.S. to invade Iraq in March 2003, because Iraq has been a major sponsor of international terrorism, and Saddam had been cooking up nasty terrorist weapons such as Nerve Gas and biological weapons.
And note that Russian President Putin has recently formed a military alliance against the U.S. with Red China, and other Central Asian Commonwealth of Independent States countries.
What we could be headed for here, in the war with these terrorists, is that this will be an area where Russian President Putin will help the U.S. defeat Bin Laden's terrorists. If Russian President Putin is the Antichrist, and I think he is, then there will be a great world crisis. But eventually Russian President Putin and/or Muslim terrorists I think will cause a world war in November 2010, by pitting nation against nation. I think this may be because Putin is helping Iran with its nuclear program, and Iran will develop the ABomb and attempt to use it on Israel and the U.S. in 2010. Note that a previous Vlad in history (that I discuss in my page on Russia), Vlad the Impaler, a prince of Romania who was also known as Dracula, was known for his bloodthirstiness, but he did halt the Moslem advance on Europe by his brutal methods.
Therefore, I think that the terrorists of Islam are causing events that result in the four horsemen of the Apocalypse riding -- in particular the second horseman, war. But longer term, I think that Islamic terrorism and Iran will become a nuclear threat to the U.S. by 2010, and another threat by year 2010 will be Russia and Red China. Note that the prophecies of Nostradamus do appear to vaguely talk about a Muslim attack on the West, that we are seeing now. But I think this Muslim Terrorist War is more part of the events that bring about the rise of the Antichrist, Putin, and possibly a world war in November 2010, involving Muslim countries including Iran and Russia. Note that the crescent moon is a Muslim symbol, and the moon is associated with childbirth; and Muslim terrorism will help give birth to the Antichrist Putin, by the world crisis it creates, and Muslim terrorism in Russia resulting in Putin cracking down and turning Russia into a dictatorship. This world war in 2010 could be caused by Muslim terrorists and Iran getting nuclear weapons and missles, and biological weapons.
It appears that there were 2 political families that were destined to guide the U.S. through the 20th century and into the 21st century: Kennedy and Bush. Note that there were similar origins to both of these political familes: both George Bush and John Kennedy were World War 2 heroes in the South Pacific war against Japan.
Concerning the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the U.S., consider the quote with that number (9:11) from the Book of Revelation, King James version, that I have listed below, beginning with 9:1:
Revelation 9, King James version:
"9:1: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2: And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3: And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4: And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5: And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6: And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7: And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8: And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9: And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10: And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon (meaning "The Destroyer")
12: One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13: And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19: For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."
Note that Revelation 9:11 refers to the "Angel of the Bottomless Pit", I think this is referring to the dark angel, also called an evil spirit or demon, Osama Bin-Laden, who is responsible for the Sept., 11 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S.. So this "Angel of the Bottomless Pit" is a demon inhabiting the body of a Moslem terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, who twists religion into his urge to hate and kill. Note that the names in Revelation 9:11 translate as meaning "the destroyer", certainly a fitting name for Osuma bin Laden. So the date 9-11 tells us that passage of Revelation 9:11 applies here, the passage about the Angel of the Bottomless Pit, "The Destroyer", an unclean spirit from the depths of Hell (the Bottomless Pit), now on earth as Osama ben Ladun. And this is why it is so difficult to nail Osama bin Laden with one of these bunker-buster bombs, because he is a demon, he is very difficult to hit, possibly because he has demonic psychic powers that allows him to avoid getting hit. But the U.S. should keep after him until Osamma's luck runs out.
Also note the description in Revelation 9 of war involving attack helicopters in 9:7 and missles being launched in 9:17. This appears to be describing war in the Middle East.
Also, two Rennaisance era artworks have a resemblance to Osama. Look at "The Fifth Trumpet", from "The Apocalypse of Angers", by Nicolas de Bataille, Angers, France, 1380 A.D.. This shows "The Destroyer" of Revelation 9:11, note that there is a resemblance to Osama on horseback. Also "The Devil and the Antichrist", from "The Last Judgement", about 1500 A.D., Fresco Cathedral, Orvieto, Italy. By Luca Signorelli. Again note the resemblance to Osama, of the Antichrist in this painting of the devil speaking into the ear of the Antichrist. These works of art again indicate that Osama is "The Destroyer" of Revelation 9:11.
Also, this passage in Revelation 16 refers to unclean spirits, also called demons, which I think again would be referring to Ossamma bin Laden and these Moslem terrorists, since they bring about war:
"16:13: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14: For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
16: And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
So what this is describing is demons or evil spirits on earth, such as Osama bin Ladden, causing wars and terror. So our world is being attacked by demonic spirits in the form of men, and that is why they are so hard to stop. It certainly is a scary image, but that is what the Book of Revelation describes.
Also, consider Greek mythology: similar to "Laden" in Osama bin Laden is the evil dragon Ladon, which was at the entrance to the great garden of Hesperides, which was where the golden apples were. Hercules killed the dragon Ladon and seized the golden apples. Note golden apple -- New York City. This is sort of like the evil dragon Osama bin Laden attacking the golden apple, New York City. Note that dragons in mythology live in deep caves, as Osama bin Laden has lived in caves in Afghanistan. And the Greek Historian Herodotus around 440 B.C. wrote about dragons, that he described as winged snakes with bat-like wings, in Arabia, this being the only place they existed, according to his account. Note that Osama bin Laden is from Arabia.
Also another legend of Hercules in Greek mythology that could be relevant here is the defeat of the Hydra, a large serpent with nine heads, that kept growing a new head each time Hercules cut one off. I think that this is similar to Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda terrorist organization, that has organizations in several countries, which would be the nine heads. The Hydra was defeated by Hercules, by his nephew Iolaus burning each of the mortal heads as Hercules cut them off, and burying the immortal head under a stone. It could be that Osama bin Laden is the immortal head, being a demon and therefore very hard to eliminate. I like other Americans will be very happy to hear that a bunker-buster bomb has landed on Osama, but it has to be admitted that he is a cat with nine lives. Somehow the mythology of the Hydra may be a clue for the U.S., each of the nine heads of the Hydra should be burnt and cut off by U.S. aircraft bombing campaigns, and the Osama head of the Hydra must be buried under a stone, which could mean landing a bunker-buster bomb on him. Note that I also discuss the mythology of the Hydra concerning the AIDS virus, it appears that Al Qaeda is a holographically analagous to the AIDS HIV virus, a killer disease that keeps mutating. In fact, AIDS appeared in 1981 around the time that Osama became active in Afghanistan; it appears that Osama and AIDS are both demonic forms of the Hydra of Death. The defeat of Osama may be holographically related to the defeat of AIDS; if Osama can be destroyed then AIDS may be also. Do not underestimate Osama! I believe that Osama actually wants to destroy the human race, and if he could unleash a killer virus on the world then he would, even if it also hits the Moslem countries. Osama's true motivation is to destroy all of humanity, not just the Western countries. But Osama is the immortal head of the Hydra - if he can be eliminated, then Al Qaidda can be destroyed, and there may be progress against the AIDS virus. I think that Osama as a demon is also Pazuzu, the evil wind demon and bringer of disease, in Assyrian and Babylonian mythology. This is the demon that haunted a house in the U.S. in the novel and movie "The Exorcist". This demon was said to blow out of the Arabian desert on the hot winds that originate there. Pazuzu was part scorpion with wings and a lion's face, reminding one of the description of the Destroyer of Revelation 9. Pazuzu I think also originated from Seth, the evil deity of ancient Egypt. Pazuzu's breath was said to cause disease. That is why I think Osama relates to AIDS disease. This is why the U.S. must be very careful that Osama's terrorists do not unleash a new disease epidemic on the world.
Note that a new head of the Al Qaida dragon has formed in Indonesia, and Indonesia somewhat resembles the Hydra in shape, as shown below. See my page on New Age Geography, where I discuss how the shapes of countries can relate to their role in history. Also note that in ASCII code used in computers, "Indonesia" adds up to "666", another clue to us that something very evil is brewing in Indonesia. And note that the Komodo Dragons, a large reptile with a nasty bite, live in Indonesia; this relates holographically to the Muslim terrorist dragon existing there.
Above: A Komodo Dragon at the National Zoo in Washington D.C.
Also, a woman rides the red 10 horned beast (assumed to be the Antichrist) in Revelation 17; I think this woman is Europe-- Europa, in mythology, was a woman riding a bull. The beast eventually turns on the woman and burns her with fire. But this attack on Europe could be Muslim missle, nuclear, and biological attacks on Europe rather than Russia - this I'm not sure on. In Revelation 17, the 10 horns of the beast are 10 kings who are in league with him (King James Version):
17:3 "...and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
17:12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."
17:16 "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the (woman), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."
Perhaps here the 10 kings are Muslim countries that hate the West. The 10 horned beast may have two fullfillments - one as Russia and the C.I.S., the second as the Muslim terrorist hydra or serpent. Europe rides the Muslim beast where Europe is located above North Africa and the Middle East, as if Europa was riding the Muslim serpent. And Europe has been increasingly come under more Muslim influence because of the large numbers of Muslim immigrants that have gone to Europe, in particular France. In Bible prophecy there can be more than one fullfillment for prophecy - I think the woman is Europa, but she rides two dangerous beasts - the Russian 10 horned beast and the Muslim hydra. Note below how the Muslim invasion of North Africa and Spain in 700 A.D. resembles a serpent.
Also, my guess is that unfortunately Ossamma ben Laden has survived the war in Afghanistan, and has moved to another country to think up more evil schemes. Note Osama's tape communication in November 2002 referred to the Pharoah of Egypt, apparently referring to the ten plagues in the time of Moses; so it may be that Al Qaidda will try to use biological weapons against the West.
Note that historically the first Moslem invasion of Europe was stopped in 732 A.D., at the Battle of Tours, when the Moslem Army was defeated by a French army led by Charles Martel "The Hammer". The battle resulted in the death of the Moslem army's leader Abd-er Rahman, and then with a lack of leadership the Moslems retreated back to Spain. The lesson of this story: the Moslems are usually inclined to fight with each other, except when a Moslem leader unifies them in a campaign against the West; you get rid of this leader or leaders and they may return to fighting with each other again. So if we can nail Osama bin Laden and a few others of the top Al Qaida leaders, then Al-Qaida may be a headless dragon, and the Moslem radicals will likely go back to fighting with each other, rather than attacking the U.S..
Also historically, a second Moslem invasion of Europe was stopped on Oct. 15, 1529, in Vienna. The siege of Vienna Austria by an Ottoman Moslem army ended in their defeat, ending this attempt by the Moslems to invade Europe. This Moslem army was largely defeated by disease and bad weather. And note that shortly after that on Dec. 4, 1532, the Shroud of Turin, believed to be the burial cloth of Christ, was damaged by a fire in a cathedral in France, near the time of the Protestant Reformation in Europe which was a time of great change for Christianity, and there were three bright comets in three years in 1531-1533. These comets I think represented the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And note that in our time there been again attacks on the West by Moslem crazies, four years after the Shroud of Turin escaped another fire in 1997, and there were 2 bright comets in 1996 and 1997, and another bright comet in January 2007.
The Heroes of Flight 93:
Let us discuss for a moment the heroes of United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001. This flight was scheduled to leave Newark, New Jersey, at 8:01 AM EST (although it was delayed, and left late); it was a Boeing 757 headed for San Francisco. When it was approaching near Cleveland, Ohio, it changed direction and headed towards Washington D.C.. It crashed at 10:06 A.M. in near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Southeast of Pittsburg, in Somerset County. The passengers on the aircraft fought with the hijackers to regain control of the plane, and the plane apparently crashed during the struggle. The plane was apparently being flown by the terrorists to hit an important government target in or near Washington D.C.. The passengers on the plane will be remembered in the history books as American heroes. It took great bravery for them to tackle the hijackers, who were armed with knives. They saved the U.S. from another great disaster in Washington D.C.. The American people will never forget the brave passengers of Flight 93.
As I do elsewhere on this web site, I will consider numbers and Biblically interpret them, to analyze this event. Note that the geographic coordinates (see more on this page) of Shanksville, Pennsylvania are at 40.01 degrees North. So the plane hit exactly on 40 degrees North. It would be interesting to check this impact point to see if it is precisely at 40 degrees North. The significance of the number 40 in the Bible is great, and it is generally connected with periods of trial and testing, such as 40 days and nights of rain flooding the earth in the time of Noah, and the 40 years of wandering of the people of Israel in the wilderness, and also, Jesus Christ was tempted by Satan in the wilderness for 40 days. This number 40 could indicate the period of trial the U.S. is going through now. But I am sure that things will be O.K. for the U.S., because the U.S. is a righteous and just nation, and the destiny of America is to destroy the forces of evil.
Also consider the time that Flight 93 was scheduled to leave New Jersey, 8:01 A.M. EST. In Greek, the language of the Bible's New Testament including the Book of Revelation, each letter is also a number. "Alpha" is the number 1, and "Omega" is the number 800, so the Biblical phrase "Alpha and Omega" would be 801. In Revelation 1 there is a statement by Jesus Christ, who has appeared to John, the author of Revelation:
1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending"
1:11 "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last"
So "Alpha and Omega" and the number 801 are connected with Christ, and Flight 93 leaving at 8:01 AM EST is a sign that Christ was with the people on that plane that day, and gave the people on the plane the bravery to fight the terrorists, and save the U.S. from a greater disaster.
The "11" Pattern and the World Trade Center Attack
One rumour concerning the World Trade Center attack is the connection to the number 11: the attack was on Sept. 11; 111 days were left in the year; Flight 11 was the first plane to hit; New York was the 11th state to join the union; Afghanistan has 11 letters; the two World Trade Center buildings look like an "11"; etc.. This is generally considered to be just coincidence, but let us consider Revelation 11:
Revelation 11 (King James version):
"11:1: And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2: But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3: And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4: These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5: And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6: These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7: And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8: And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9: And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10: And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11: And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12: And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13: And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14: The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16: And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17: Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18: And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19: And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."
In Revelation 11 above, could the two witnesses, who are two prophets, be represented by the twin towers of the World Trade Center? And the Holy City is Jerusalem, but New York City has been referred to as the New Jerusalem; it has two great cathedrals, St. Patrick's cathedral, which is Catholic, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the second largest church in the world, which is a cathedral dedicated to John (and which is at 110th street, 110=11x10), the author of the Book of Revelation. (And on December 18, 2001 there was a fire in the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, note that this date was when the U.S. was achieving victory in Afghanistan, and 4 days after a solar eclipse). Notice that in Revelation 11 it says a tenth part of the city fell in a great earthquake, and 7000 died, within a few thousand of the number who died in the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S.. Also note that in 11:7 the beast from the bottomless pit (which I connected with Osama bin Laden in Revelation 9:11) attacks the two witnesses. And concerning the rejoicing over the death of the two, note that there was unfortunately a lot of rejoicing in the Arab world in the Middle East over the Sept. 11 attack. Certainly the two witnesses are people, two prophets who have not appeared yet, but perhaps they are represented by the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and New York City is the New Jerusalem. And this also means that great disasters will hit those who destroyed these two towers, which are now Ground Zero, and trampled on this New Jerusalem. Notice the image of 11:4: "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth", the "two candlesticks" being the World Trade Center towers.
So perhaps the "11" pattern is telling us to look at Revelation 11. Also, note that I have quoted Revelation 9 and 11 as the relevant sections of Revelation, and the attack date was 9:11. And note that the World Trade Center towers had 110 floors = 11x10 . Also note that recent previous plane crashes out of JFK Airport, New York City somehow relate to this number pattern:
--TWA Flight 800 on July 17, 1996, crashed when going to Paris, and Swissair Flight 111 on Sept. 2, 1998, crashed off Nova Scotia; note that if you add these flight numbers: 800+111=911 (September 11 again).
--Egyptair Flight 990 crashed off Nantucket on Oct. 31, 1999, Halloween, after the Moslem copilot went looney and dived the plane into the ocean: note that 990=110x9, the World Trade Center having 110 floors, and there you have 9 and 11 again.
Also, in Revelation 1 there is a reference to the "seven candlesticks", which could be the seven World Trade Center buildings, another indication that New York City is the New Jerusalem. And Christ is there among the seven candlesticks. This is a vision of the future seen by John, the author of Revelation, two thousand years ago on the Greek island of Patmos. So John saw that the seven towers of the World Trade Center, the seven candlesticks, would be built in the city of the New Jerusalem, New York City; and he also saw that two of the candlesticks would be destroyed by the beast from the bottomless pit; but I think he also says that the World Trade Center will rise again one day in New York City. This is part of New York City's great destiny as the New Jerusalem. Revelation 1:9-13:
"1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man..."
Recent Terrorism in Israel
Concerning the recent terrorism by these Palestinian suicide bombers blowing themselves up to murder Israeli citizens, I think that Israel is very justified in the harsh measures they have taken against these Palestinian terrorists. The U.S. justifiably relatiated against Osama bin Laden after September 11, and similarly Israel is justified in defending itself against these terrorists by invading the Palestinian territory. We in the U.S. must always remember that Israel is the closest U.S. allie in the Middle East, and the only country there that the U.S. can really depend on. For example, Pakistan is helping greatly now with defeating El Qaida and the Taliban, but we must remember that Pakistan helped previously create the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Note that Easter in 2002 was on March 31, and it saw fighting in Bethlehem, with tanks there, and with Palestinian terrorists in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. My personal opinion is that these Palestinian terrorists deserved the pounding they got from Israel, Israel has shown great restraint in this and it is understandable that Israel has had to deal harshly with these terrorists and Arafat the terrorist leader, or as he has been called "Bin Laden with good P.R.". We in the U.S. should remember that Israel is only defending itself against terrorist attacks from these Moslem crazies. Israel is our closest allie in the Middle East, and a strong Israel is the best defense against these Moslem terrorists. Note that in Genesis 12, God's promise to Abraham that he would father a great nation, the nation of Israel, and also this can be interpreted that those who curse Israel God will curse, and those who bless Israel God will bless. That is why the U.S. has done so well in recent years, because the U.S, has always defended Israel. And that is why the U.S. should continue to back Israel 100% through Israel's war with these Palestinian terrorists. The Palestinians will be cursed, and will continue to suffer misfortune, because of their attacks on Israel. But as long as the U.S. continues to strongly back Israel, the U.S. will be blessed and survive well through the chaotic end-time events of the next few years. But if the United Nations should turn against Israel, I hope the U.S. will support Israel's cause in the U.N.. THE U.S. MUST CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ISRAEL 100%, THIS IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO AMERICA'S PROSPERITY AND DESTINY!
Genesis 12:
"1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
Some New York City photos, showing the September 11 Attack damage:
Above: the city skyline before September 11
Above: the city skyline in November 2001
Above: the damage near the World Trade Center streches several blocks over to the the Fulton Street subway stop, where this photo was taken in November 2001.
Above: when I took these 2 above photos in New York City in November 2001, I also saw this beautiful view of sunbeams coming out of the clouds, with the Statue of Liberty in the distance. I saw this as a sign of hope.
Also see:
This page has pictures of Saint Paul's Chapel, near the World Trade Center Ground Zero, which miraculously escaped damage from September 11, although buildings near it were damaged. And amazingly, this church was built before the Revolutionary War, and George Washington when he was President attended services at this church. This brings to mind a quote from Jesus to Peter, the builder of the Christian Church, in Matthew 16:18 (King James Version):
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
This page discusses the timetable of events, and this page has a predictions calendar. This page translates Osamma bin-Ladden's name to Greek, the original language of the Book of Revelation, for more clues on his evil nature. And see this page on Muslim prophecies, and see this page for more on Osama, Osama's deputy Ayman Al-Zawahiri, and al-Qaida. Also, see the page on the King James bible code which discusses King James Bible code patterns related to Muslim terrorists and terrorism.
