Omen of Another 911?

July 10, 2003

I have never posted experiences and dreams etc. except once when I dreamed of a huge tidal wave coming while swimming in the ocean.

I want to share what happened to me today. It may be nothing but coincidence and it could be God saying heads up. Feel free to share your comments pro and con.

I woke up today and grabbed my Bible first thing as I usually do and just opened it up. I never think about where I open my Bible until I look down and see where I have opened it. There have been a number of times when I know that God had me open my Bible to a certain verse or passage.

This morning I opened up to the little book of Lamentations. I was struck by it because I can't ever remember opening up to that little book and I haven't read it in a long time. I felt it was a God-thing, but thought it had to do with my favorite verse in Lam. 3:21,22. I like reminding myself that "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His compassions, they fail not, they are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness." The next few verses are good too, but I meditate on this verse daily and usually first thing in the morning to remind myself of how God feels about me.

But I thought I would just go ahead and read the whole book. As I did I began to feel like maybe God was trying to tell me something else. Lamentations of course is the saddest book in the Bible. (Ever hear a sermon preached on it? Didn't think so.) In it, Jeremiah laments over the complete destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple and the killing of thousands of God's people. It is full of grief and sadness over what happened to Jeremiah's people and nation.

As I read that I thought that one day, there will be those who will lament what is coming to America. I went on to read other things but I couldn't shake the sense that God had me open up to Lamentations as a way of saying, "This is what is coming to America."

Then I went to pray with some ministers and for no reason while in prayer I decided to open my eyes. When I did I looked at my watch and it read 9:11. I thought how interesting, not thinking about my earlier experience with Lamentations. At the time they were two isolated things.

Then tonight driving back from the store, I didn't look at the car clock the whole way home and then I did right before I got home. It read 9:11. Then I said whoa. I put all three things together and felt like God was saying something to me. I feel like God is saying that another attack is coming on America and it may not be too far away. I believe it to the extent that I will begin to pray and intercede for America.

Just thought I'd share this with you all. Like I said I don't post these kinds of things. I know it's not specific. No locality or time or weapon or who will do it. I think when it happens, I will remember this day and know that God told me it was going to happen. I pray it isn't on the scale of Jerusalem, you know, a whole city destroyed. But when it happens I'll know that God has everything under control and my faith in Him will be as strong as ever.
