The two towers symbolize the two witnesses in the book of Revelation.

"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city…"Rev. 11:8

The "great city" in the literal sense is our great city of New York.

The Twin Towers are obelisks of steel, the word "obelisks" appearing in the Bible Code along with "steel "and "code key."

The code key is the symbolism, the ancient key that unlocks the mysteries, allowing us to understand the destructive events taking place so that we can begin the process that will prevent them from occurring in the future.

In the early morning of Sept. 12th, 2001 I heard upon waking: "This is the opening of the sixth seal" (referring to Sept.11th, 2001).

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake…Rev. 6:12.

At 8:46am a commercial jet was hijacked and flown into one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Eighteen minutes later, another commercial jet was hijacked and flown into the second tower. Soon after that, another hijacked jet would be flown into the Pentagon, and at 10am a fourth hijacked jet crashed before hitting its target... the Capital, the Heart of our great nation. Thank God it was not accomplished. In this is our hope!

North Tower - Spirit of God South Tower - Word of God Pentagon - Jerusalem (Protection) Capital - The Temple (The Heart)

The enemy that brought down the two towers was a radical lunatic fringe, those of the Arab nation, descendants of Ishmael, the son by the bondmaid, symbolizing bondage...

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by the bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. Galatians 4:22

But what continues to empower our external enemies is internal, dwelling within the mind of mankind. Two spiritual enemies, represented in two physical enemies: Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

A foreign nation terrorized our nation on September 11th 2001... a physical manifestation of a foreign spiritual nation, a terror that is hidden deep within, keeping us in the bondage, keeping us from being completely free.

For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. Gal. 4:25.

Jerusalem symbolizes the Mother, exemplifying protection. But it is important to note that Abraham had two sons by two different mothers. Sarah the freewoman and Hagar the bondwoman. The Jerusalem of today is far from free. She is in bondage, revealing man's internal bondage. This internal bondage is revealed through Rachel's bondmaid, Bilhah, which means terror.

Hagar is mount Sinai, where the children of Israel erected the gold calf, symbolizing that which causes us to err or sin, to miss the mark.

"The wages of sin, is death." September 11th, 2001 resulted in 2,973 deaths.

When mankind chose his own spirit and word over God's spirit and word he unwittingly gave power to a negative and destructive energy, which is responsible for the events of 9/11, all of our wars, and the catastrophies that are increasing in size, intensity, and frequency.

And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden, for you have perverted the words of the living God... Jeremiah 23:38

These destructive events are not God's doing, they are man's doing, and it is time take responsibility for what WE, as a people, have brought upon ourselves, by our own word, through our many false religious and personal beliefs!

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by the bondmaid, the other by the freewoman. Galatians 4:22

Ishmael and Isaac— two brothers, existing within, as well as without in the nation of Israel. The ongoing battle between the Israelis (descendants of Isaac) and the Palestinians (descendants of Ishmael) is a manifestation of the ongoing battle we are fighting from within.

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come thy not hence, even of the lusts that war in your members? James 4:1

If we don't get on with battling the enemy within there will be more and more laws added without, until we are left with no freedom at all. Our real enemy lies hidden within, and as long as it remains hidden the battle against evil will never be won, its negative and destructive energy continuing to bring death, destruction, sorrow, pain, and suffering brought on by the bondage of our many disorders and addictions.

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by the bondmaid, the other by the freewoman. Galatians 4:22

The nation of Israel continues to fight for peace, but there will be no peace in the city of Jerusalem until there is peace in the heart of mankind. It is a peace that comes not by purifying our mind, not by thinking differently, which the Bible refers to as repentance, but by purifying our heart, as it is written: put away the dead works of repentance and go on into perfection.

To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord. Ezekiel 13:16

9/11 was only the first in a series of calamities that will bring down the wall of false peace that has separated mankind from his heart.

So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall... Ezekiel 13:14.

The word Jerusalem means founded peaceful. Will we continue to choose mind peace through religious beliefs and practices that serve only to keep us in bondage, or will we choose to move beyond these mind-body disciplines, seeking authentic peace and freedom through the transformation of our hearts. Hagar or Sarah? Bondage or Freedom?

For this Hagar...answereth to Jerusalem which...is in bondage .... Gal. 4:25. But Jerusalem which is above is free... Gal. 4:26

Only a section of the physical wall of Jeusalem remains standing today. Referred to as the "Wailing Wall" it is symbolic of this day of devastation: 9-11 or 9-1-1... a desperate cry for help!

Ishmael (the son of the bondwoman) means God will hear. This is the first covenant, which is fulfilled when one cries out to be delivered, as the children of Israel cried out to be delivered of the bondage of Egypt, symbolizing the (spiritual and physical) addiction of the World.

The time of trouble that man has brought upon himself is an opportunity to be delivered, to experience a spiritual birth.

And at time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt…Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:1-3,10.

Godspeed.
