The 9/11 Aftermath

 2Chronicles7:14 “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

This is exactly why the Lord allows nations to be shaken. 

But following the attack on 9/11, the repentance never came…


In the aftermath of 9/11, I sat listening to a famous TV evangelist, who seemed to be speaking more like a political leader rallying the citizens, than a pastor, shepherding his flock…

He was talking about what had just happened to America…And I quote - 

“You attack one of us, you attack all of us…Why? Then he jokingly sang: “Because 🎵”we are family”🎵”. 


As I set and listened to him, I remember feeling confused:

My first thought was” Not everyone in America is saved….some parts are extremely secular…so how can everyone in America be your family?

My second thought was “I thought we (the Church) were your “family”. As I continued to watch I remember thinking “Is he preaching a Gospel of Salvation or of patriotism?”


Was he passionate and pumped up? Yes

In a way, I totally understood: had it been my country, I would have been the same way…and indeed, a few months later Great Britain was attacked in a similar way…

but where was the sorrow…where was the call to repentance?


I was to realize over the next few weeks, listening to one Christian minister after another, that this was no longer about repentance and Salvation…this tragic event, which was supposed to be the Church’s wake up call for repentance, had become a parade of patriotism. And more and more prominent Christian leaders were jumping on the bandwagon. 

It is because of this…a failure to hear what the Spirit was saying to the Churches, that we are now in the devastating situation of today. 


Where did we go wrong? By placing nationalism before the will of God and aligning ourselves with our country rather than separating ourselves to our Lord. Had we done the latter, we would have recognized the warning signs and the need for repentance much sooner. 


It would not be so tragic, were it not for the fact that we have just done exactly the same thing with President Trump…and again with have been disciplined for it. 

When will we, in the Western church learn…? What will it take for us to learn…? Another COVID…or worse? To assume as a nation that God was on OUR side - no matter what?

No, it is for us to forsake all of this world…and step over the line to God’s side. For the sake of the nation, the Church must do this.


See Joshua 5:13-14

This has been on me since 2001…and only now do I feel spiritually capable of releasing it. I ask for everyone’s forgiveness, for not speaking out…

but trying to be heard over the domineering voices of the masses of TV ministers…the so-called “pillars of the church”, I confess that I have sometimes wondered if there was any point in my saying anything at all.


I love this country…

Ch.14 The Unraveling to the End

  Isaiah 52:7 This picture - taken from the movie “ War Games ”, is as close as I can get, to describe the John 12:24 glory over the nations: the overlapping and arching lines are the Body of Christ as we go out to preach the Gospel; the dark background is the evil of the anti christ regime and the white orbs are literally bright white explosions, representative of both Salvation and martyrdom : because in the days I was looking at here, there would not be one without the other. These two things went hand in hand! “ Now   is   my   soul   troubled .  And   what  shall   I  say ?  ‘ Father ,  save   me   from   this  hour ’?  But   for   this  purpose   I   have   come  to  this hour .   Father ,  glorify   your  name .”   Then   a   voice   came   from   heaven :“ I   have   glorified   it ,  ...

Ch.13 The Unraveling ~ Part III

I saw a world without borders: As if all borders between nations (at least, borders as we understand them to be)  had been dissolved  - the anti-Christ system had seen to that…but of course, the Lord was way ahead of him and using it for His purpose and His glory.   I knew that the unraveling was not going to stop until the End. And it would end in the very place where the Gospel first began: Israel   ~ see previous chapter. i To Every Nation And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the world, as a witness to all nations and then the end will come…Matthew 24:14 {From  Kim Clement vision ~ “The Resurrection”: see prefix to ch.3 “Last Call” Kim Clement: “Everybody SHOUT!…there’s a victory!…Shout and clap your hands!” This one final surge against the darkness…God’s “Last Call”…seemed to penetrate everywhere…people started rushing from all over…every tribe and people…even unto the farthest islands of the sea…through the Door that is Christ…and whi...

Ch.8 ~ The Love of a Motley Crew

~From now on, whenever I write “the clock was ticking” or words along that line, I am referring to the winding down of the time of the Gentiles spoken of by Paul in Romans 11:25 - and the lead up to “ Jacob ’s trouble”, spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7 (which I believe to be the (7) or 3 1/2 years of great tribulation) *With regards to the differing views on eschatology, I can only write what I saw, enforcing it, as best I can, with the Word of God. You the reader, may or may not agree.* ~~~ {In 1607, landed at Cape Henry, Virginia and surrounded by a motley crew of sailors, ex-criminals and prospectors, the Rev. Robert Hunt kneels under a seven foot cross, brought with him from England and prays the following: “Father, we come to you in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Savior to dedicate this land to the glory of God…Father in Heaven, we consecrate this Cross.   We consecrate ourselves to the Great Commission, making disciples of all the people of this new land.   We consecr...
