He was with those dying horrible deaths that day. Actually, He is with all of us all the time. Some refuse Him.
Reconsidering the free will experiment.
Good post!
Thank you!
“Up on His throne in heaven observing everything and intervening where He knew it was needed. “
Did he ensure that the 19 hijackers made their flights?
You wrote this? Very nice.
God was also opening the eyes of the deeply blind and deceived of the worlds enemy....far too many continue to be willfully deceived and blind and lead others to be like them.
Where was man?
That’s like asking “where was God the day Jesus was beaten and crucified....”
He was watching a nation that would turn back too him for only a short time then it would largely reject him just a short while later.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Know Jesus, know peace.
Nicely written. God was with the children as they began their first day of school. The Tuesday after labor day is the first day of school in Ny. Many parents join their young children for first day of school and went into work late or took the day off.
This was tbe case with Howard Lutnick of Canter Fitzgerald. His firm lost over 600 people. By surviving, the firm continued he stopped the paychecks of those killed but gave families 10 years ins. And 25% of 5 years profits.
My question is how can HOLY GOD intervene for a nation that has turned its back on Him and His authoritative Word?
America has murdered some 60 million babies since Roe V Wade, legitimized sodomy unions, made divorce and fornication non-consequential acts, defends the guilty and condemns the innocent, and spews filth from their mouths like sewage pipes, just to name a few.
And unless you wine, dine and entertain them, you can’t hardly even get professing Christians to go to church these days.
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” - Psalm 9:17
And He was there to sentence the killers to hell for an eternity while wrapping his arms around the innocents being ushered into His kingdom for an eternity. He was/is there always.
He was on flight 93.
He was in FAA headquarters grounding flights. (Groups of 5 swarthy middle eastern men simply walked away from many of grounded flights, abandoning their luggage and quietly disappearing)
Always enjoy your posts, Blood of Tyrants.
Will read the responses tomorrow or much later in the evening.
Can’t do this today.
The friends I/We lost that day...it gets harder instead of easier and who knows why?
Maybe the changes in thinking as one ages makes the losses more profound and harder hitting.
Maybe the fact that those that died shouldn’t be in pictures up at parties and gatherings to remember them, but they should be there ALIVE.
Maybe the subtle changes in children that I’ve seen grow up without their dads who never quite seem to smile all the way.
And the Beautiful, majestic Towers. Those of us who had the pleasure of working in them. Of marveling at them. Of enjoying watching them from the staten island ferry on the way home as the sun set.
What a thing of beauty!!! Showing what a Republic and a capitalist yet God fearing society could build!
And we replaced them with some kind of building though I’ll be damned if I know what that HORRIFIC monstrosity is supposed to be.
It makes one want to weep. Why? Because the Twin Towers WERE majestic and they WERE beautiful, at least to me.
And they will never be beautiful again.
To add insult to injury we waited and waited for a justice that never came.
BTW, a piece of history. Only ONE MAN built a prototype of what the new towers should look like that MOST NYers agreed with.
THEY WERE EXACTLY LIKE THE OLD ONES!!!!
This was a man of vision and greatness!! A man who thought like the average NYer and didn’t want the monstrosities that are there now to darken our skies.
His idea was turned down.
But he had some relative success later in life as he became POTUS in 2016.
Good day to all.
There is not a finer group of people to share this day’s pain/memories/love of country with than all of you people here.
Never forget.
“Where was God on 911?”
I used to think the same thing about many unfortunate events. I have to believe that we as humans are not capable of having the infinite wisdom of the Lord and cannot understand His purpose for catastrophes.
He was with my stepfather when he canceled his flight to Pennsylvania (yes, the actual flight that ended driven into a field)on 9/10
Some time ago I heard an interesting idea. Tragedies, loss, deaths etc. are not always about the victims but about salvation and learning to those who nurse and care for their dying loved ones, who volunteer to help in tragedies. A single event might redeem a person who learned how to turn to God.
As much as it is painful for the people who lost families that day, 3,000 people is just a pinprick in the world’s population and there have been many events where more died, either from natural disasters or man-made evil.
God knew the eternal fate of everyone who passed that day from children to the elderly. He knows everything that will happen before it happens. Nothing surprises Him. He uses even disasters so that some might repent and turn to Him before it is too late.
God proclaims “I will have mercy upon whom I have mercy and compassion upon whom I will have compassion.”
