911... The Harbinger -
The Lord warns before he wounds – Matthew Henry.
After 911…
8 Harbingers - A harbinger is a sign, a warning or omen. Amazing!

(For update scroll to the bottom of this page)
1) THE BRICKS HAVE FALLEN” – After the attack of 911, New York Post writer Richard Pyle said “For three months, the acre site had the look of post World War II Berlin, reduced to piles of BRICKS”. Another wrote “tons of twisted metal, BRICKS and ash”. Yet another wrote: “glass and BRICKS’
2) ”BUT WE WILL REBUILD.” – Soon after the destruction of 911, came the call to REBUILD with “The Freedom Tower”. A sign said “A new icon will rise above the skyline; The Freedom Tower”.
3) WE WILL REBUILD STRONGER/BETTER. – The leaders of New York City and New York State came together and gathered around ground zero and made a vow.
They said: ‘We will build this great Freedom Tower. It will be BIGGER and BETTER. We will show the world that we will stand taller than ever.” Donald Trump came into it with his own plan to rebuild. He said this: “I want to see the new Freedom Tower built maybe a story taller. We should have the World Trade Center BIGGER and BETTER.”
4) WE WILL REBUILD WITH HEWN (CUT) STONE – On July 4, 2004, an object was lowered by crane to ground zero. It was a stone. The leaders of the city waited for the stone to come down, as it was the beginning of the rebuilding of ground zero. They called it the “Freedom Stone”, the first stone of the tower. It was a stone quarried out of the mountains of New York. Among many news agencies, CNN did a story on it and said it was a quarried stone of granite hewn out of the Adirondack Mountains. A large ceremony was made about the stone and they praised it. New York’s mayor Michael Bloomberg said: “By laying this magnificent corner stone, we are sending a message to people around the world.” They said: “This stone will remain symbolic cornerstone for the rebuilding of New York and the nation.”
5) SPIRIT OF DEFIANCE. – Specifically the words: “THE SPIRIT OF DEFIANCE” were used. On the day they laid the cornerstone, Governor George Potake said: “Today, we the heirs of that revolutionary spirit of defiance lay this cornerstone.”
6) THE SYCAMORE TREE (fig/mulberry) tree. –Though sycamore trees don’t grow in New York, on September 11th a freak event happened. A steel beam from the North Tower was hurled though the air and struck down an object. It was a tree. The next day when people returned to ground zero, they found a tree lying on the ground, pierced by a steel beam from the falling tower. It was the western version of the sycamore tree.
7) THE CEDAR TREE. – Though the cedar tree of Lebanon doesn’t grow in America, a version of it does. The pine tree. Two years after 911, an object was lowered by crane into a hole in the ground on the site of ground zero where the sycamore tree had been struck down. It was a pine tree.
Both the Cedar (Pine) tree and the cut stone were lowered by crane into ground zero. Both were labeled as icons; one called the “Stone of Freedom” and the other called the “Tree of Hope. Both had ceremonies. Both had clergy men at the ceremonies. One of them said” “We are gathered here today on Holy ground. Ground witnessed to the dust and destruction of September 11th. The ground is sanctified by our presence here as we dedicate the Tree of Hope, and witness to the divine in each of us. It replaces a sycamore tree destroyed on September 11th 2001 by the collapsing towers. Our prayer is that this ground zero tree of hope will be a sign. A sign of the indomitable nature of human hope. As we walk this hallowed ground, may this tree be an icon of hope, the symbol”.
8) A vow. The ultimate harbinger is a vow. When you hear a leader of the land follow the same words, you know you are living at a time of impending judgment.
So the 8 Harbingers are:
1) THE BRICKS HAVE FALLEN
2) BUT WE WILL REBUILD
3) WE WILL REBUILD STRONGER/BETTER
4) WILL REBUILD WITH HEWN (CUT) STONE
5) SPIRIT OF DEFIANCE
6) THE SYCAMORE TREE
7) THE CEDAR TREE
8) A VOW
The first response of the leaders was to say “we will defy this”. The first response after 911was sent by the capitol building in Washington DC, and it was given by the head of the US Senate (representing the congress and the people), Tom Dashel. He said this not knowing on that very day, they were actually discovering the sycamore tree. “It is with pain, anger, and resolve I stand before the Senate a symbol for 212 years, of the strength of our democracy. And say that America will emerge from this tragedy as we have always emerged. These attacks were an assault on our people in the American community. I am outraged, Last night we sent a message to the world, that even in the face of such cowardly heinous acts, the doors of democracy will not close, the joint resolution we laid down today condemns yesterday’s attack. The world should know the members of both parties and both houses stand united. I know there is only the smallest measure of inspiration that can be taken from this devastation, but there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah, that I think speaks to all of us at times like this: “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild. The sycamore trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars (Isaiah 9:10). This is what we will do, we will rebuild.”
Of all the thousands of scriptures he could have chosen, he chose this scripture that most believers aren’t even familiar with, not knowing it was about rebellion against God and judgment to follow.
On the third anniversary of 911, the democratic candidate for Vice President was John Edwards. He was speaking at an engagement, and since it was a prayer breakfast, he chose a scripture. This is what he said: “Good morning. On this day of remembrance and mourning, we have the Lord’s word: The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with dressed (cut) stones. The sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.” Isaiah 9:10. He linked it to 911 and said it was “the Lord’s word for us”. Then he based his whole speech on this scripture. He closed by saying ‘the cedars will rise and the stones will go up.
Just As In Ancient Israel
When ancient Israel fell away from God by mixing the worship of Him with the worship of Pagan gods, He sent them prophets. When they rejected the prophets, He removed the protective hedge that He had around them and allowed one of their enemies; Assyria to attack the northern part of the land, in order to wake them up. Though the Assyrian people were ungodly, He used them to chastise His nation/people (Israel). It was an evil act by an evil people, but YHWH allowed it to wake up His people. Instead of repenting however, they rebelled and defied the judgment, so a word came from the prophet Isaiah:
8 “The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel. 9 All the people will know it— Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria— who say with pride and arrogance of heart, 10 " THE BRICKS HAVE FALLEN down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars." Isaiah 9:8.
(Ancient) Israel said:
1) “THE BRICKS HAVE FALLEN” - The bricks have fallen (in ancient times bricks were weak).
2) “BUT WE WILL REBUILD” - The actual ancient Hebrew translation of Isaiah 9:8 is: The bricks are fallen down, but we will build for ourselves, a TOWER.
3) “WE WILL REBUILD STRONGER” - You may take down our bricks, but we will rebuild with strong stone. You may cut down our Sycamore trees, but we will replant with strong Cedars. With arrogance they say, “We will build bigger and stronger”.
4) “WE WILL REBUILD WITH HEWN (CUT) STONE” - with stones that are cut and quarried out of the mountains. The cut stone was to become the symbol of the rebuilding in Israel.
5) Spirit of defiance – Israel did not repent, instead they had an attitude (spirit) of defiance.
They were saying: ”Even though YHWH is trying to get our attention, to get us to repent, we will defy this". We will rebuild. We will undo the judgment.”
6) THE SYCAMORE (fig/mulberry) TREE. The Sycamore tree being struck down is a sign of judgment (Psalms 78:47). They were cut down by the Assyrians during their first invasion of Israel
7) The Cedar tree. The Sycamores have been cut down, but we will replace them with strong Cedars.
8) The vow itself. The leaders of the nation say “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with cut stone. The sycamores have fallen, but we will replace them with strong cedars”
America was not born on July 4th. It was conceived on July 4th but the clue of America’s birth was given in the speech by Tom Dashel when he said: “I stand before the Senate a symbol for 212 years”… If you take away 212 from 2001 you come to the year 1789.
America was born to a fully formed nation on April 30th, 1789. On that day for the first time, America had a constitution, a house of representatives, a senate and a president. On that day they all gathered in the nation’s capitol for the inauguration of the first president; George Washington. It was the nation’s dedication day.
Often in the Bible, the threshold of a new beginning gives promises and warnings and prophetic truths. After being sworn in, George Washington entered the capitol building and issued the first presidential address. In the middle of it was a prophetic warning. He said this: “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and the right Heaven itself has ordained.” The warning was: America’s future blessing would be as with Israel, would hang on its relationship to God. If America should begin to depart from God, its blessings, prosperity and protection would be removed.
After the address, the whole group traveled on foot to a small chapel. They went there for one purpose; to dedicate the nation to God. They spent two hours in prayer committing consecrating the nation into God’s hands. The entire government was kneeling before God.
In ancient Israel, when judgment came, it came to the place where the nation was dedicated to God. America, like Israel, also departed from its foundation. It sought the prosperity instead of the one who gave it. The warning of Washington on that day was the removal of God’s blessings if that happened. There was a day that optimized that removal of God’s blessing. That day was September 11th 2001.
The question is: Where was America’s ground of consecration? Where was America dedicated to God? The first inauguration did not take place in Washington DC, or Philadelphia. The first capital of the United States was New York City. Lower Manhattan. You can go there today and find a famous statue of George Washington commerating the inauguration. This all took place in the southern part of New York City with his statue overlooking Wall Street. It took place in a little chapel at ground zero where they dedicated the nation to God. As was said before, the place a nation is dedicated to God is where that nation would face judgment if it turned away from Him and His ways. The place where America was dedicated to God, and received the first wave of his judgment, was ground zero.
Remember the sycamore tree that was pierced by the steel beam on 911? Strangely, the people made a big thing of it. They made a display of it and a sculpture was commissioned, by taking the fallen sycamore tree and making a cast of it. It was cast into bonze, which was the biblical metal of judgment. The plan is to display it on Wall Street.
The Significance of the Fallen Sycamore Tree
In the late 18th century, bonds and stocks were sold in America’s new banks by wealthy merchants on the side of their primary businesses. With the end of the Revolutionary War, the volume increased. On March 1792, Twenty-four Manhattan’s leading merchants convened at a secret meeting in a hotel to bring order to the securities trade and to secure their trade from competition.
Two months later in May 1792 they gathered again outside of 68 Wall Street under a buttonwood tree, this time to sign a document to accomplish their goals. The document was called the Buttonwood agreement. It was the beginning of Wall Street as we know it. The association was called The Buttonwood Association. Later the name was changed to the New York Stock Exchange. It would become the largest stock exchange in the world, and it would be the foundation of America’s rise to superpower as a financial giant. The buttonwood was the foundation of America’s power. What kind of tree was the buttonwood? A sycamore tree. America’s foundation started with a buttonwood tree. So when the steel beam on 911struck down the sycamore tree, it actually struck down the symbol of America’s power.
This is significant, because now there will be a symbol of a fallen sycamore tree which represents YHWH’s judgment, on Wall Street which represents America’s financial prosperity. A sycamore tree uprooted, to symbolize a nation’s power symbol (financial) being uprooted.
On the Day of Judgment, a nation’s foundations are exposed. YHWH said “I will break down the wall, so that its foundations are laid bare”
The sycamore tree that was struck down by the steel beam was located in none other than the backyard of that small chapel, in a grave yard. In the wake of 911, all the buildings at ground zero were badly damaged except for one; the small chapel. It was basically untouched. They called it “The Miracle at Ground Zero”. Even though buildings beyond it were damaged, the chapel where America was dedicated to God was untouched.
What they believe protected it was the tree; the sycamore tree. The only thing protecting the chapel from the steel beam was the tree. The Biblical sign of judgment is also a sign of the mercy and grace of YHWH.
America, like Israel was called to be light to the nations. It was founded as a new Israel. Like Israel, we would be blessed if we followed God, but if not, we would be removed. America, like ancient Israel, has largely departed from God. To much that is given, much is required. Instead of being a light to the nations, we have become the world’s largest exporter of pornography; we have become the leader of the advocacy of homosexuality. Like ancient Israel, we have offered up our children (now about 50 million children) through abortion. In ancient times children were offered up to pagan gods such as moleck. *It is interesting that the organization behind abortion (Planned Parenthood) is the Rockefeller Foundation. Rockefeller among other Bilderbergers/elitists), who worship satan through the pagan god molek (see Bohemian Grove).
In ancient Israel as well as on 911 God allowed a destruction, but on a limited scale. As the first stage is not followed by repentance, there will come a second stage. If the second stage (the crash of Wall Street) is not followed with repentance, a judgment will fall on unrepentant man. If it refuses to face what the symptoms imply, nothing then can avert judgment.
The Lord warns before he wounds – Matthew Henry.
If the nation does not turn back to God with the first sign of judgment, a second, greater judgment will occur.
What does it mean “to turn back to God”?
In Hebrew “repent” does not mean “to go another way”. It means “to go back to where you started”. To go back to the way the original followers of Yeshua (known to the Western world as Jesus) worshiped and obeyed Him. Something we have strayed away from. Just as ancient Israel was warned and judged for mixing pagan worship with the worship of our Creator (YHWH), the church today is doing the same thing.*
A nation that cannot hear the whispers of God, can only be reached by His shouting.
The primary purpose was not to destroy, but to save. Repentance often only comes through the hand of the judgment of God. After 911, houses in America were filled with people saying “God bless America” but God cannot bless America if America does not bless YHWH. The awakening that happened was short lived, but that awakening was a shadow of a greater awakening.
Tens of thousands of Christians are waking up to the fact that paganism has infiltrated the church. They are keeping His Holy (seventh day) Sabbath, keeping His feasts/festivals/Holy Days (appointments), they are calling Him by His real name; YHWH (Yahweh) and our Savior by His real name; Yeshua, and keeping His commandments.*
Prophetic Signs of 911 Prior To the Event
Two years BEFORE 911 (to the day), Rabbi Cahn and a group of intercessors from around the nation gathered at the gate of America (New York Harbor) to intercede for America. They gathered to pray because of concern for a future attack of terrorism. While praying for the repentance of America, they sounded a shofar. They took a picture of it, and in the picture the tip of the shofar can be seen touching the World Trade Center at the Northern Tower where the first plane would hit two years later.
The Second Warning
In the Bible, God said to the prophet Jeremiah: “That which I have built up, I will break down, that which I have planted, I will uproot.”
God allowed Israel to rise and America to rise to un-presidented blessing. The warning is; if that nation so blessed departs from YHWH and does not turn back, that nation's blessings will cease.
Israel in its apostasy from YHWH put its trust in itself, in its walls its prosperity. America in its apostasy from YHWH put its trust in itself, in its walls (military), its prosperity (economy/“the almighty dollar”) and its idols.
America is continuing to turn away from YHWH, ignoring the warning
America has gone farther away from God
The first purpose is warning then judgment
The first calamity brings a second calamity
The effects of 911 seven years later, would cause Wall Street to collapse again, and more seriously than ever before.
A 7,000 pound bronze statue was created as a symbol of Wall Street in the shape of a bull ready to charge, to symbolize American power as unstoppable. The image of a bull cast in metal has ancient origins. It appears in Sinai as the golden calf. In the time of rebel King Jeroboam, it appears at the borders of his kingdom. It appears again in the worship of the god baal, who was depicted as a bull. In every instance, the image of a bull cast in metal was an idol. In every case it was the sign of a nation abandoning the worship of YHWH.
Israel would begin to rebuild, re-build walls repair the breeches and fortify her defenses. It would seek to strengthen its security.
America would begin to re- build (freedom towers), strengthen its security (Department of Homeland Security) and repair its breeches (Patriot Act). Launching of global war against terror (Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and the list goes on).
Israel did not repent
The power God used to bring His nation to judgment was Assyria, the earthly instrument behind Isaiah 9:10. Israel rebuilt with a housing boom. Assyria is the modern nation of Iraq.
The Isaiah 9:10 principle:
The attempt of a nation to defy the course of its judgment apart from repentance will instead set in motion a chain of events that will bring about the very judgment it sought to avert.
The attempted strengthening of our national security resulted in more government spending adding multiple billions to the federal budget. Funds and resources that would have been used to strengthen the economy were diverted. America’s military campaign in the Middle East would de-stabilize the price of oil. America’s war on terror would produce a debt of unprecedented proportions. This would add another drain on the economy.
A looming danger
The wars would become unpopular with enough of the population that it divided the nation erasing the unity after 911. Because of 911, the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for 6 days. When it opened, it suffered the largest crash in its history up to that day.
On September 17th the Federal Reserve lowered its interest rate to put liquidity into the market. Low to begin with, it went down to extreme levels and stayed there for several years. 911 had forced the rate below inflation. This is when the Isaiah 10:9 effect began to operate. The interest reductions created a whole new area of easy loans, easy rates, causing the housing market to explode beyond all fundamentals. Capital from Asia compounded it, producing the housing bubble and other financial bubbles. The actions by the Federal Reserve were copied by banks all over the world producing similar bubbles.
The Global collapse was set off by a trigger of a series of events in early September 2008. The mortgage market and housing markets began to collapse. The two Giants Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac on which the housing market depends were failing so to prevent total collapse, the government bailed them out (in a way, released their debts) Seven days after the first collapse, came the second. One of the largest financial firms (Lehman Brothers) also collapsed filing for bankruptcy (released from their debts), which was the largest bankruptcy in the history of the nation. This has begun to affect every nation of the world in some way. When did this happen? On the seventh anniversary of 911.
The stock market is built on debt and credit. When you invest in the stock market, you are loaning to them. They are in debt, you are the creditor. When it crashes, in a way, debt is wiped out (released).
The Significance of Sevens
7 years after 911 to the day of the Hebrew/YHWH’s calendar (not the Gregorian calendar), the stock market collapsed.
The stock market collapsed on the 7th month of the Jewish year (Tisherie)
The portion of money wiped out totaled 7%
It reached 7% in the 7th hour
The points total was 777.
The bailout was $700 billion
Under the current economic crisis (and even its timing) is the Shimita.
What is the Shimita?
Deut 15 1-2 and Leviticus 25:2 says the land will enter a Sabbath rest every seventh year called a Shimita (means remission or letting go), just as every seventh day was a day of Sabbath rest as commanded by YHWH. They were instructed by Him to rest the land and not grow any food.
During Shimita, purchased property goes back to the Nation, and all remaining food in the fields goes to the community (especially the poor). Each land owner had to open up his land to everyone to come and take of it (food) what they wanted/needed. In the seventh year, the fruit of the land belonged to everyone: To the nation. They were also to apply the Shimita release to each other. Over the years Jewish Rabbis came up with something to get around it, using rituals to represent it without doing it.
The Shimita was also a time when all debts (including financial) were to be forgiven and cancelled. While the Shimita was originally considered to be a blessing, when not followed, it became a judgment.
The Shimita increases in intensity until the last of it, when all debts are released in one day. At the end of September 2008, the New York Stock Exchange plunged 777 points (the worst day in its history up to that day). This happened on the 29th day of the Hebrew year (Ellule), which is the crowning day of Shimita. It was the mass nullification of debt (the greatest in history) that happened on the very day YHWH ordained to be the day of wiping away of credit and debt. That which might have been for profit in previous years, was cancelled.
How did the year of Shimita begin?
On the first day of the Year of Shimita (September 13th 2007), A corporation in Brittan called Northern Rock invested in subprime mortgages. The company they partnered with was Lehman Brothers, which one year later would go bankrupt.
In the spring, Bear Stearns began to fail. Production started to decrease, businesses started to close and un-employment started to increase
Just Like Ancient Israel
For seventy years, Judah did not follow YHWHs instruction of keeping the Shimita, because they didn’t want to let go of their monitary profits, so He said “I’m going to make you forgive debts and make you let the land rest”. How did he do this? He used Babylon (one of their and His enemies) to punish them by allowing them to take Judah into captivity, removing them from the land. For how long? For seventy years. One year for every year they disobeyed YHWH in not keeping the Shimita.
Just like ancient Israel, America has rebuilt, but with a house of cards. As of September 2008, the collapse of America has begun. This is because we ignored the second warning. The second warning came because we ignored the first. 911.
Since America (as a nation) has not repented, expect the soon complete collapse of this once great nation which will lead to a global economic collapse, that will in turn lead to the one-world-government spoken of in the book of Revelation, which will lead to the Orwellian society (police state) just like ancient Israel was taken captive. This is the beginning of the Tribulation also spoken of in the book of Revelation. Many Christians think they will be “raptured” to Heaven, but will soon find that is yet another lie they have been told.

8) The vow itself. The leaders of the nation say “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with cut stone. The sycamores have fallen, but we will replace them with strong cedars”
America was not born on July 4th. It was conceived on July 4th but the clue of America’s birth was given in the speech by Tom Dashel when he said: “I stand before the Senate a symbol for 212 years”… If you take away 212 from 2001 you come to the year 1789.
America was born to a fully formed nation on April 30th, 1789. On that day for the first time, America had a constitution, a house of representatives, a senate and a president. On that day they all gathered in the nation’s capitol for the inauguration of the first president; George Washington. It was the nation’s dedication day.
Often in the Bible, the threshold of a new beginning gives promises and warnings and prophetic truths. After being sworn in, George Washington entered the capitol building and issued the first presidential address. In the middle of it was a prophetic warning. He said this: “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and the right Heaven itself has ordained.” The warning was: America’s future blessing would be as with Israel, would hang on its relationship to God. If America should begin to depart from God, its blessings, prosperity and protection would be removed.
After the address, the whole group traveled on foot to a small chapel. They went there for one purpose; to dedicate the nation to God. They spent two hours in prayer committing consecrating the nation into God’s hands. The entire government was kneeling before God.
In ancient Israel, when judgment came, it came to the place where the nation was dedicated to God. America, like Israel, also departed from its foundation. It sought the prosperity instead of the one who gave it. The warning of Washington on that day was the removal of God’s blessings if that happened. There was a day that optimized that removal of God’s blessing. That day was September 11th 2001.
The question is: Where was America’s ground of consecration? Where was America dedicated to God? The first inauguration did not take place in Washington DC, or Philadelphia. The first capital of the United States was New York City. Lower Manhattan. You can go there today and find a famous statue of George Washington commerating the inauguration. This all took place in the southern part of New York City with his statue overlooking Wall Street. It took place in a little chapel at ground zero where they dedicated the nation to God. As was said before, the place a nation is dedicated to God is where that nation would face judgment if it turned away from Him and His ways. The place where America was dedicated to God, and received the first wave of his judgment, was ground zero.
Remember the sycamore tree that was pierced by the steel beam on 911? Strangely, the people made a big thing of it. They made a display of it and a sculpture was commissioned, by taking the fallen sycamore tree and making a cast of it. It was cast into bonze, which was the biblical metal of judgment. The plan is to display it on Wall Street.
The Significance of the Fallen Sycamore Tree
In the late 18th century, bonds and stocks were sold in America’s new banks by wealthy merchants on the side of their primary businesses. With the end of the Revolutionary War, the volume increased. On March 1792, Twenty-four Manhattan’s leading merchants convened at a secret meeting in a hotel to bring order to the securities trade and to secure their trade from competition.
Two months later in May 1792 they gathered again outside of 68 Wall Street under a buttonwood tree, this time to sign a document to accomplish their goals. The document was called the Buttonwood agreement. It was the beginning of Wall Street as we know it. The association was called The Buttonwood Association. Later the name was changed to the New York Stock Exchange. It would become the largest stock exchange in the world, and it would be the foundation of America’s rise to superpower as a financial giant. The buttonwood was the foundation of America’s power. What kind of tree was the buttonwood? A sycamore tree. America’s foundation started with a buttonwood tree. So when the steel beam on 911struck down the sycamore tree, it actually struck down the symbol of America’s power.
This is significant, because now there will be a symbol of a fallen sycamore tree which represents YHWH’s judgment, on Wall Street which represents America’s financial prosperity. A sycamore tree uprooted, to symbolize a nation’s power symbol (financial) being uprooted.
On the Day of Judgment, a nation’s foundations are exposed. YHWH said “I will break down the wall, so that its foundations are laid bare”
The sycamore tree that was struck down by the steel beam was located in none other than the backyard of that small chapel, in a grave yard. In the wake of 911, all the buildings at ground zero were badly damaged except for one; the small chapel. It was basically untouched. They called it “The Miracle at Ground Zero”. Even though buildings beyond it were damaged, the chapel where America was dedicated to God was untouched.
What they believe protected it was the tree; the sycamore tree. The only thing protecting the chapel from the steel beam was the tree. The Biblical sign of judgment is also a sign of the mercy and grace of YHWH.
America, like Israel was called to be light to the nations. It was founded as a new Israel. Like Israel, we would be blessed if we followed God, but if not, we would be removed. America, like ancient Israel, has largely departed from God. To much that is given, much is required. Instead of being a light to the nations, we have become the world’s largest exporter of pornography; we have become the leader of the advocacy of homosexuality. Like ancient Israel, we have offered up our children (now about 50 million children) through abortion. In ancient times children were offered up to pagan gods such as moleck. *It is interesting that the organization behind abortion (Planned Parenthood) is the Rockefeller Foundation. Rockefeller among other Bilderbergers/elitists), who worship satan through the pagan god molek (see Bohemian Grove).
In ancient Israel as well as on 911 God allowed a destruction, but on a limited scale. As the first stage is not followed by repentance, there will come a second stage. If the second stage (the crash of Wall Street) is not followed with repentance, a judgment will fall on unrepentant man. If it refuses to face what the symptoms imply, nothing then can avert judgment.
The Lord warns before he wounds – Matthew Henry.
If the nation does not turn back to God with the first sign of judgment, a second, greater judgment will occur.
What does it mean “to turn back to God”?
In Hebrew “repent” does not mean “to go another way”. It means “to go back to where you started”. To go back to the way the original followers of Yeshua (known to the Western world as Jesus) worshiped and obeyed Him. Something we have strayed away from. Just as ancient Israel was warned and judged for mixing pagan worship with the worship of our Creator (YHWH), the church today is doing the same thing.*
A nation that cannot hear the whispers of God, can only be reached by His shouting.
The primary purpose was not to destroy, but to save. Repentance often only comes through the hand of the judgment of God. After 911, houses in America were filled with people saying “God bless America” but God cannot bless America if America does not bless YHWH. The awakening that happened was short lived, but that awakening was a shadow of a greater awakening.
Tens of thousands of Christians are waking up to the fact that paganism has infiltrated the church. They are keeping His Holy (seventh day) Sabbath, keeping His feasts/festivals/Holy Days (appointments), they are calling Him by His real name; YHWH (Yahweh) and our Savior by His real name; Yeshua, and keeping His commandments.*
Prophetic Signs of 911 Prior To the Event
Two years BEFORE 911 (to the day), Rabbi Cahn and a group of intercessors from around the nation gathered at the gate of America (New York Harbor) to intercede for America. They gathered to pray because of concern for a future attack of terrorism. While praying for the repentance of America, they sounded a shofar. They took a picture of it, and in the picture the tip of the shofar can be seen touching the World Trade Center at the Northern Tower where the first plane would hit two years later.
The Second Warning
In the Bible, God said to the prophet Jeremiah: “That which I have built up, I will break down, that which I have planted, I will uproot.”
God allowed Israel to rise and America to rise to un-presidented blessing. The warning is; if that nation so blessed departs from YHWH and does not turn back, that nation's blessings will cease.
Israel in its apostasy from YHWH put its trust in itself, in its walls its prosperity. America in its apostasy from YHWH put its trust in itself, in its walls (military), its prosperity (economy/“the almighty dollar”) and its idols.
America is continuing to turn away from YHWH, ignoring the warning
America has gone farther away from God
The first purpose is warning then judgment
The first calamity brings a second calamity
The effects of 911 seven years later, would cause Wall Street to collapse again, and more seriously than ever before.
A 7,000 pound bronze statue was created as a symbol of Wall Street in the shape of a bull ready to charge, to symbolize American power as unstoppable. The image of a bull cast in metal has ancient origins. It appears in Sinai as the golden calf. In the time of rebel King Jeroboam, it appears at the borders of his kingdom. It appears again in the worship of the god baal, who was depicted as a bull. In every instance, the image of a bull cast in metal was an idol. In every case it was the sign of a nation abandoning the worship of YHWH.
Israel would begin to rebuild, re-build walls repair the breeches and fortify her defenses. It would seek to strengthen its security.
America would begin to re- build (freedom towers), strengthen its security (Department of Homeland Security) and repair its breeches (Patriot Act). Launching of global war against terror (Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and the list goes on).
Israel did not repent
The power God used to bring His nation to judgment was Assyria, the earthly instrument behind Isaiah 9:10. Israel rebuilt with a housing boom. Assyria is the modern nation of Iraq.
The Isaiah 9:10 principle:
The attempt of a nation to defy the course of its judgment apart from repentance will instead set in motion a chain of events that will bring about the very judgment it sought to avert.
The attempted strengthening of our national security resulted in more government spending adding multiple billions to the federal budget. Funds and resources that would have been used to strengthen the economy were diverted. America’s military campaign in the Middle East would de-stabilize the price of oil. America’s war on terror would produce a debt of unprecedented proportions. This would add another drain on the economy.
A looming danger
The wars would become unpopular with enough of the population that it divided the nation erasing the unity after 911. Because of 911, the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for 6 days. When it opened, it suffered the largest crash in its history up to that day.
On September 17th the Federal Reserve lowered its interest rate to put liquidity into the market. Low to begin with, it went down to extreme levels and stayed there for several years. 911 had forced the rate below inflation. This is when the Isaiah 10:9 effect began to operate. The interest reductions created a whole new area of easy loans, easy rates, causing the housing market to explode beyond all fundamentals. Capital from Asia compounded it, producing the housing bubble and other financial bubbles. The actions by the Federal Reserve were copied by banks all over the world producing similar bubbles.
The Global collapse was set off by a trigger of a series of events in early September 2008. The mortgage market and housing markets began to collapse. The two Giants Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac on which the housing market depends were failing so to prevent total collapse, the government bailed them out (in a way, released their debts) Seven days after the first collapse, came the second. One of the largest financial firms (Lehman Brothers) also collapsed filing for bankruptcy (released from their debts), which was the largest bankruptcy in the history of the nation. This has begun to affect every nation of the world in some way. When did this happen? On the seventh anniversary of 911.
The stock market is built on debt and credit. When you invest in the stock market, you are loaning to them. They are in debt, you are the creditor. When it crashes, in a way, debt is wiped out (released).
The Significance of Sevens
7 years after 911 to the day of the Hebrew/YHWH’s calendar (not the Gregorian calendar), the stock market collapsed.
The stock market collapsed on the 7th month of the Jewish year (Tisherie)
The portion of money wiped out totaled 7%
It reached 7% in the 7th hour
The points total was 777.
The bailout was $700 billion
Under the current economic crisis (and even its timing) is the Shimita.
What is the Shimita?
Deut 15 1-2 and Leviticus 25:2 says the land will enter a Sabbath rest every seventh year called a Shimita (means remission or letting go), just as every seventh day was a day of Sabbath rest as commanded by YHWH. They were instructed by Him to rest the land and not grow any food.
During Shimita, purchased property goes back to the Nation, and all remaining food in the fields goes to the community (especially the poor). Each land owner had to open up his land to everyone to come and take of it (food) what they wanted/needed. In the seventh year, the fruit of the land belonged to everyone: To the nation. They were also to apply the Shimita release to each other. Over the years Jewish Rabbis came up with something to get around it, using rituals to represent it without doing it.
The Shimita was also a time when all debts (including financial) were to be forgiven and cancelled. While the Shimita was originally considered to be a blessing, when not followed, it became a judgment.
The Shimita increases in intensity until the last of it, when all debts are released in one day. At the end of September 2008, the New York Stock Exchange plunged 777 points (the worst day in its history up to that day). This happened on the 29th day of the Hebrew year (Ellule), which is the crowning day of Shimita. It was the mass nullification of debt (the greatest in history) that happened on the very day YHWH ordained to be the day of wiping away of credit and debt. That which might have been for profit in previous years, was cancelled.
How did the year of Shimita begin?
On the first day of the Year of Shimita (September 13th 2007), A corporation in Brittan called Northern Rock invested in subprime mortgages. The company they partnered with was Lehman Brothers, which one year later would go bankrupt.
In the spring, Bear Stearns began to fail. Production started to decrease, businesses started to close and un-employment started to increase
Just Like Ancient Israel
For seventy years, Judah did not follow YHWHs instruction of keeping the Shimita, because they didn’t want to let go of their monitary profits, so He said “I’m going to make you forgive debts and make you let the land rest”. How did he do this? He used Babylon (one of their and His enemies) to punish them by allowing them to take Judah into captivity, removing them from the land. For how long? For seventy years. One year for every year they disobeyed YHWH in not keeping the Shimita.
Just like ancient Israel, America has rebuilt, but with a house of cards. As of September 2008, the collapse of America has begun. This is because we ignored the second warning. The second warning came because we ignored the first. 911.
Since America (as a nation) has not repented, expect the soon complete collapse of this once great nation which will lead to a global economic collapse, that will in turn lead to the one-world-government spoken of in the book of Revelation, which will lead to the Orwellian society (police state) just like ancient Israel was taken captive. This is the beginning of the Tribulation also spoken of in the book of Revelation. Many Christians think they will be “raptured” to Heaven, but will soon find that is yet another lie they have been told.
Update On The Harbinger
Those words of defiance were uttered again in 2009. The first time he appeared in front a joint session of congress on February 4th 2009, President Obama said “We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.” (future tense). Then three years later, when the new Freedom Tower (aka Tower of Defiance) was being built, President Obama wrote this on a beam which was to be the highest beam of the new building; “ We remember We rebuild We come back stronger!” (present tense).
This year, on January 20th 2015 during the State of the Union Address he said “You are the people I was thinking of six years ago today, in the darkest months of the crisis, when I stood on the steps of this Capitol and promised we would rebuild our economy on a new foundation. And it has been your resilience, your effort that has made it possible for our country to emerge stronger.” (past tense).

On January 1st of this year, when Andrew Cuomo, the Governor of New York was being sworn into office from the Freedom Tower (the location was changed from Albany) said: “You knock us down, we get back up twice as tall”.
The Tree of Hope (defiance)
The tree that was planted at ground zero as the “stronger” tree started to wither away, so they tried a few things, finally resorting to replacing the soil and it still withered away. The branches were broken off because they were diseased. This matches Jeremiah 8:13 which says:
“I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
Then President Obama came to ground zero at the sight of the Tree of Hope and read Psalm 46:8 which says:
Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.
He also read Psalm 46:9 which says:
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.
But instead of reading bow like a bow and arrow, as the scripture says, he said bow as in the bow of a ship. Breaking the bow of a ship is a judgement sign in the scriptures. Finally the Tree of Hope was destroyed. Not on any day but the biblical feast day of Passover which also happened that night to be the first blood moon of the four blood moon tetrad which the final blood moon will be this year in September.
Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.

The Freedom Tower (aka Tower of Defiance)
Isaiah 9:10
…”and let us build for ourselves a tower”
During the inauguration of President Obama, he enlisted the nation into ending the biblical definition of marriage (first time ever), but also the poet he chooses to speak, gives praise not to YHWH, but rather praise to our own hands. Later, speaking of the Freedom Tower he said “the heavens yield to our resilience.”
The Spire
The day (April 29th) they chose to put the spire at the top of the Freedom Tower, was the day the cross went up on Cape Henry as the first object to go up on American soil when they dedicated America to YHWH.
Fast forward to 2015: Because of high winds, they were not able to put the spire atop the Freedom Tower that day and were forced to do it two weeks later. As it went up, the scandal broke about the IRS persecuting Christians and pro-Israel groups. On that day the sun was darkened with a solar eclipse.
When the Freedom Tower finally opened up, it was the same day as the beginning of the Shmita year. On a Friday, they opened up the top floor of the tower. Two days later on Sunday, a storm developed and the tower was struck by lightning three times.
Calling Evil “Good”
“Deep-seeded religious beliefs have to be changed”. – Hillary Clinton What reason did she give for saying this? So abortion can expand.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
May YHWH have mercy on our nation.
