Meaning behind 9:11?
The terrorist attacks by Muslim fundamentalists on September 11, 2001 shook this country and to some extent the whole world. Was there any larger meaning to it than a group of religious fanatics making themselves known to the United States and initiating some sort of holy war?
Since the attacks, I have had this ability to notice 9:11 on clocks, whether it's in the morning while driving, at night while watching TV or most anywhere I happen to be where there is a digital clock. Many others have reported the same thing. At first I chalked it up to either coincidence or some psychological trauma related to the attacks of September 11.
But as time went by and the frequency of these occurrences increased, I began to think that there may be a larger message involved. As I had something to do with publishing a book on the Apocalypse, I looked to it for answers. Specifically, I looked to Chapter 9, verse 11. I found that this verse marked the end of the first woe, the first of 3 chastisements announced by an "angel" that would culminate in the final battle between good and evil. It describes the time of the 5th trumpet and the result of the Protestant Reformation.
So it occurred to me that the 6th trumpet may be about to sound, the beginning of the second woe. If so, things will get dicey indeed. If you read the book, that period of time will be the greatest upheaval in human history and will culminate with the final battle. All that is needed is for the antagonists, False Prophet and Antichrist to appear on the scene. The clues about when and how that will happen are all in the book...
