NEVER FORGET: Seventeen Years Later We Need To Remember The Real Lesson The Tragedy Of 9/11 Taught Us

Nearly 3,000 people left for work that 9/11 day for their offices in the Twin Towers, and they never came back. They stepped out of thier homes and into eternity.

Unable to get up, she softly repeated the same words over and over. She cried “The towers have fallen, no…no…how can this be? It all just collapsed…it’s all gone.”, as soft teardrops began to run down her face. It was in that moment when I knew nothing would ever be the same again

How well I remember this 9/11 day 17 years ago, when both towers of the World Trade Center were brought down. I remember the amazing and perfectly cornflower-blue sky that started the day, and how it would seem at such odds with the events that would shortly follow.

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” James 4:14 (KJV)

I was working for a large pharma company in New Jersey when the news came over the television and Internet that first one and then a second plane had hit both of the towers. To say that there was ‘shock and disbelief’ is an understatement that cannot be fully understood unless you were there. Much like the people in 1941 who struggled to wrap their heads around the attack on Pearl Harbor as it unfolded.

Complete and total bewilderment, and it only got worse.

As people started to leave the massive office complex, there is one scene that is forever etched in my mind. I was walking down a hallway to the elevator, hit the button and the door opened. Slumped up against the back wall of the elevator, sitting disheveled on the floor, was an upper-level manager looking down at the ground.

Unable to get up, she softly repeated the same words over and over. She cried “The towers have fallen, no..no…how can this be? It all just collapsed…it’s all gone.”, as soft teardrops began to run down her face. It was in that moment when I knew nothing would ever be the same again.

In the days and weeks that followed, as both the literal and metaphorical smoke began to clear, people began to express a certain level of outrage against the ‘enemy’ who had done this. Depending on who you spoke with, that enemy was the Muslims and Islam, the New World Order, George Bush, with some even saying Israel was behind it all.

For a time, I wallowed in that same grief and anger, looking for someone to blame and exploring all the ideas and theories that could have caused it. Whenever someone posted a convincing theory how 9/11 happened, I read the articles, watched the videos, looking for answers. But nothing truly explained anything, nothing truly satisfied.

Then the Lord showed it to me from His perspective

Nearly 3,000 people left for work that 9/11 day for their offices in the Twin Towers, and they never came back. They stepped out of thier homes and into eternity. I knew many people that lost loved ones, 9/11 widows were everywhere you looked in New Jersey. But the people who died in the towers that day were part of the larger group of roughly 250,000 people that die each and every day across the world.

Life is short, tomorrow is not guaranteed but neither is the rest of today. That’s a sobering thought to say the least.

Every single day is precious gift from God, how will you spend it?

Do you want to hate the Muslims and Islam? Guess what, Jesus shed His blood on the cross for them too. Do you want to hate our government, or George Bush, or Dick Cheney, or the shadowy figures of the dark web who plan and plot against us? How about venting your rage on Israel, the Rothschild family and “those Jews”? You can, but to what end? We live in a sin cursed world that is not getting better anytime soon. If you are going to cultivate hatred you will soon find it to be a full time job. Worst of all, it won’t accomplish anything.

So let me suggest something else instead on this anniversary of 9/11, seventeen years after the fact

  • Call your mom, your dad, brother or sister, a friend you’ve lost touch with, and tell them you love them.
  • Forgive somebody who has hurt you and needs you to forgive them, and watch two people get healed.
  • Show a kindness to someone who can’t pay you back.
  • Let go of hate and bitterness.
  • Let love rule in your heart.
  • Feed someone who’s hungry instead of just walking past trying not to see them.
  • Remember God, because you’re going to meet Him one day. And it just might be today.

There will always be wars and rumours of wars, there will alway be ‘enemies of the state’ and corrupt governments. Why? Because we are all sinners who need a Saviour, but God has provided that Saviour in Himself.

“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 (KJV)

God came to save a world of His own creation that had grown to hate Him, but He came anyway. He took upon Himself our sin, even while we asked not for it, even while we spit on Him and mocked Him. God laid down His life and offered us grace and mercy even though we deserved justice.

You think the Jews killed Jesus? Look deeper. You think the Romans killed Jesus? Look deeper still. It was you and I who put Him on the cross.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8 (KJV)

God died to save every race, every color, male and female, young and old, gay and straight, rich and poor. On the cross He cried, “Father, forgive them”. What is the cry of your heart today? Is it lusting for revenge, or asking the Father for mercy? How much grace should you extend to someone else? About the same amount as you think you might need one day.

“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:21,22 (KJV)

Go out and do something bold and radical this September 11th, go show someone mercy who doesn’t deserve it. Go out and love someone who’s not so lovable. Take yourself off the throne and let the God of Abraham rule and reign in your hearts today. Become a one-person revival.

Forgive them all. 

“And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:7 (KJV)

Donald Trump’s Iran ‘Victory Lap’ Ends With Him Ironically Ditching The New Muslim-Provided Air Force One From Qatar And Returning Home On The Old One

President Donald Trump’s Middle East Theater Meets Reality As Iran Threats Send Him Back To The Old Air Force One For The Flight Home

Trump is selling strength, victory, dominance, and deterrence over Iran, yet the image coming out of this trip is not victory-lap confidence but nervous calculation. He says Iran has been beaten, decimated, obliterated, and put back in its box, but when the moment comes to fly through a dangerous threat environment, the Qatari-gifted luxury jet suddenly stays behind and the old, battle-tested Air Force One gets the call. That is political irony at 40,000 feet. The boast is “Iran is defeated,” but his actions say, “not defeated enough for me to trust this plane.” Reports say the switch raised questions precisely because Trump was also talking about Iranian threats and being at the top of their “kill list.”

“Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1 (KJB)

Trump bragged about the lavish $400 million plane gifted by Qatar, took his first flight on it, and praised it like a symbol of prestige and power. But Qatar is a Muslim Gulf state with its own entanglements, relationships, and strategic calculations in the region, and the moment Iran re-enters the picture, that glittering “gift” starts looking less like strength and more like vulnerability. The old Air Force One may be aging, but it represents hardened American continuity; the Qatari jet represents spectacle, luxury, controversy, and foreign influence. One is built for the presidency in crisis. The other looks tailor-made for Trump’s brand.

Trump’s foreign policy is forever trapped between theater and reality. In the theater, Iran is crushed, America is feared, enemies are trembling, and Trump is the great wartime commander. In reality, Iran is still threatening, the Middle East is still burning, the ceasefire is being declared finished, and the president is making aircraft decisions that appear to reflect a genuine fear of exposure. He can call Tehran names, promise to hit them “hard,” and claim victory all day long, but if Iran is still shaping how the president travels, then Iran has not been removed from the chessboard.

So the old Air Force One becomes the perfect symbol of the moment. Trump wanted the new plane to say, “Look how powerful I am.” Instead, the switch back to the old one says, “Look how dangerous this has become.” He boasted about beating Iran, then appeared unwilling to put that boast to the test in the Muslim-provided luxury jet from Qatar. That is not just irony — that is the whole Trump Middle East doctrine in one image: loud claims of victory, foreign gifts wrapped in controversy, threats still coming from Iran, and America once again flying through the consequences of unfinished wars.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As Trump Resumes Bombing Of Iran, Emmanuel Macron Takes Center Stage In Stunning Visit To Syria With Ahmed al-Sharaa

The Middle East is undergoing a paradigm shift realingment now with Emmanuel Macron center stage in Syria and Donald Trump restarting the bombing of Iran

The Middle East is shaking on every side right now, and the headlines are lining up like pieces on a prophetic chessboard. Trump is in Turkey, strengthening ties with Erdoğan and signaling that he may reverse the F-35 ban and lift sanctions tied to Turkey’s Russian S-400 purchase — even as Israel has reportedly warned that arming Turkey with F-35s could destabilize the regional balance of power. At the very same time, the U.S. has restarted strikes against Iranian targets after renewed attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with CENTCOM calling Iran’s actions a violation of the ceasefire. Hey, Christian, if you’ve been waiting for the end times to start, you’re already late to the party.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7,8 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, then comes Macron, the man we are watching closely as the possible, and probable, biblical man of sin, walking into Damascus like he owns the place to meet Syria’s new president Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former Abu Mohammad al-Jolani. During that visit, two IEDs exploded near the Four Seasons Hotel where Macron was staying, wounding at least 18 people, while Macron continued his meeting with al-Sharaa at the presidential palace. That is an astonishing visual. Western diplomacy blessing a rebranded jihadist regime, bombs rocking Damascus, Iran burning again, Turkey being courted, and Israel surrounded by shifting alliances. This is Middle East Turmoil in every sense of the phrase – war, diplomacy, betrayal, reinvention, and prophetic foreshadowing all colliding at once. The world calls it stabilization, reconstruction, NATO strategy, and regional diplomacy. Now, the world may be confused watching all of this unfold, but the student of prophecy knows what’s going on. The nations are moving, the alliances are shifting, Damascus is shaking, Iran is raging, Turkey is rising, and Europe is inserting itself into the heart of the Middle East. Welcome to Day 2,307 of 15 Days to Flatten The Curve, and Day 130 of World War Trump in Iran. It’s a great day for an end times Podcast, so let’s get after it…TO THE FIGHT!!!
