Echoes of 9-11

    Sorry, the echoes must have been canceled this year, and I and my family, must have missed the memo. You see, I thought we were a country at war against the terrorist and that as a nation, we were together in our outrage. Didn't I see that on TV?

There are no more echoes. The day that was to live in infamy died, I guess. On the eleventh of September, 2001,  for the first time I stood back and asked, "What can I do to help my country?" I knew I was just a thirteen year old kid, but I sought to find a way that I could make a difference- a rare thought in the rush of today's youth.

    Only 2 years past, and again we met the day that had been the most horrific since Pearl Harbor. A young man of fifteen now, I went to my upper middle class school and looked at the scene- this is what I saw...

    Had the school flag not been flown at half staff (which nobody noticed or understood), you would not have known that it was different than any other day. On my trip to school, I noticed no flags on anyone's porch... no banners, signs, or ribbons of any kind. No overt signs of patriotism. I was only a Thursday.

    I remember there being more emotion on Homecoming day than on the anniversary of 3000 innocent neighbors being incinerated. Although the administration suggested that the students wear red, white, and blue, few people did. Only in 2 out of my 7 classes was the day even briefly mentioned, and even then only in passing.  And among the students at lunchtime, I consciously listened to the conversations around me.

    Nothing. Not a word even remotely related the the day or it's meaning.

As for myself, I was frustrated that we didn't have the day off of school. I requested that my dad record the flashbacks, memorials, etc... It has been a constant source of conversation at our home (over dinner, the news) since July.

   I can't help thinking that my peers and the public at large are waiting to be told that it is now time to feel something, almost as if we need a daily laugh-track, or in the case of 9/11, a cry-track.

 What has happened to the outrage?

What has happened to the outrage?

It's still there and will never be forgotten.

Unforunately some have gotten to caught up in their own lives and rely on others to remember for them. Others just don't know how to honor those who gave their all because they were never taught to show proper respect.

The good news is that those that have forgotten are in the minority and we in the majority will not let them forgot what happen that awful day in September just like my parents taught me to never forget that awful day in December

We will stand proudly by our flag with our hand on our hearts and pray for all those that were lost and all those that continue to bravely defend our freedoms, our liberties and our lives.

Have faith Matthew, for without faith, what else is left?

We will never forget and We will never give up!

Thanks for the ping Carlo. Tell Matthew not to lose hope. Tell him that we are here and that there are many people that will never forget. With his letters posted here, he has made a difference already.

And tell him I'm bookmarking this.....

Where's the outrage?

[Wolfstar]

My frustration with the media knows no bounds. Just two years ago, the mainland of our nation was attacked by a foreign source for the first time since the War of 1812. We lost over 3,000 of our citizens, countless billions of dollars, and many thousands of children lost at least one parent. In addition, Congress AND MEDIA BIG SHOTS were attacked by the anthrax letters.

Yet here we are, just two years later, and what is the media obsessing about? A phony "who's the leaker" story, that's what. Never mind that the entire media house of cards would come tumbling down if it weren't for anonymous sources and leaks — real or invented. If they can bring down this president, they will, and what's best for the country be damned.

While what I'm about to write comes from frustration, and is not to be taken literally, I must confess there is a dark part of me that almost wishes the anthrax mailer(s) had taken out a bunch of media hot shots instead of postal workers.

Indeed. Thank you so much for the article!

God Bless you for your service in protecting us here at home. Thank you for what you do and have done.

Somehow, this thread and this just received email . . . seem suited for each other.

Hey Meri,

That is interesting about these three brothers dieing at this time. I believe there is also a birthing going on.

My son Stephen and I just got back from Morning Star's Harvest Fest 2003 conference where we set up a ministry booth for the feast of trumpets. I sold over 35 shofars and ministered to many about the release of women in ministry. I also was able to tell a few folks
about "The wonder of 9-11."

Steve Thompson spoke about seeing 9-11 over and over, so I made sure he got a copy of my article below which I addressed to Rick Joyner and Robin McMillan as well for their discernment.

Blessings,
Paul

The Wonder of September 11th

www.pauljab.net/Sept11-Sign.html

by Paul Jablonowski 9/11/2003

"Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion." Isaiah 8:18, Hebrews 2:13

Pictured to the left is my son Stephen who was born September 11th 1999. The tragic events which occurred in America two years ago today on September 11th 2001 was a sign from hell of just how desperate the kingdom of darkness is trying to keep control of the earth. On the
other hand, the events of September 11th 1999, four years ago, was a sign from heaven that God's plans to rule the earth are indeed right on schedule. You can be sure that what God has promised in destroying Satan He will certainly fulfill.

While most people are familiar with the September 11th 2001 events, not very many know about the sign from God that occurred on September 11th 1999. On this day there were signs in the stars that were very similar to the sign described in the book of Revelation chapter 12.

This passage of scripture talks about a pregnant woman who is clothed with the sun and giving birth to a male-child who will rule the earth with a rod of iron. The dragon then tries to devour her child but is unsuccessful (Rev. 12:1-5). This exact scenario was played out in the stars on September 11th 1999 when the constellation Virgo, which was just below the horizon (clothed with the sun), gave birth to the moon (male child) at the same time that the constellation Draco (dragon) stood at the feet of Virgo.

The details of this very rare celestial event and its similarities to the "star" of Jesus' birth can be seen
at the web-page

pauljab.net/Rev12-Sign.html.

Revelation 12:1-5 (with my comments in parentheses) - "A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman (constellation Virgo)clothed with the sun (just below the horizon), with the moon(male-child) under her feet and a crown of twelve stars (constellation Bernice) on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon (constellation Draco) with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.

The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child (the moon), who will rule all the nations with an iron
scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to His throne."

While these signs can always be perverted (such as in astrology), they were originally given to herald important events in the history of humankind (Gen. 1:14, Luke 21:25, PS. 19:1-6). The Jews understood this concept which is why they asked Jesus for a sign in the heavens to back up His claim of being the Messiah (Matthew 16:1).

While you may be able to fake a healing or an earthly sign, no one can manipulate or control the stars. Hence, a sign in the stars provided a fool proof way of prophetic identity. Jesus DID have the credentials in His prophetic birth and accompanying signs in the heavens, but the
religious people of His day missed those signs because they didn't come the way they were expecting. And so it is today.

While the signs in the heavens have been all over the sky in our generation proclaiming a new era is about to dawn, few people are recognizing them.

What does this sign mean? God is certainly birthing something of great significance, but what is it? The signs would seem to indicate that this birthing was foretold in the scripture similar to the birth of Jesus 2000 years ago when His life was the fulfillment of scriptures that he could not have manipulated.

I believe it has something to do with the apostolic office that God is now restoring to the body of Christ. The restoration birth pangs have been coming ever since the reformation with Martin Luther. Over the past 1500 years the ministry gifts of pastor, teacher, evangelist, prophet and now apostle are being restored to the corporate understanding of "church."

With the restoration of the apostle, we can expect not just a revival of the old order "church," but a whole new revolution of what "church" is and how we do it. Those who are desperately hungry for a genuine relationship with the living God and are weary of playing the religious games with modern day "Churchianity" are among those who
will receive and embrace this new revolution of church order.

I am certainly not degrading the labor of our forefathers who have fought valiantly by establishing the great denominations which are known throughout Christianity, but it is now the proper time in ecclesiastical history to unite under one banner and allow Christ in His body to reclaim the earth for His glory. Part of the apostolic
anointing in our generation is for the purpose of bringing together God's body according to His pattern or matrix.

The beginning of correct order involves Jesus truly becoming the chief cornerstone (Eph. 2:20) and the head of His church body. This can only happen when we start giving our lives and meetings over to Him instead of looking
to man's ability. Our natural abilities are often an affront to the finished work of Christ. We need to embrace the cross and let God be God.

One of the biggest wrong mindsets that true apostles will help to crucify is the clergy vs. laity mentality. The priesthood of ALL believers must be restored where Jesus is the only clergy and his body functions according to directions from Him. This is not an excuse for independence from others, on the contrary Jesus will most often speak to us through people in His body, and we must be able to discern His voice through whomever He decides to speak.

However, true apostles will not draw men to themselves but point them to Jesus. God is not impressed with the giftings that He gives to people and we shouldn't be either. Many of the Lord's apostles are working secular jobs and considering it a full time ministry. The marketplaces will be transformed when they witness the true life of Christ in action.

The correct pattern for church includes a restoration of a "divine culture" to house the "life" that is always a result of a true move of the Holy Spirit. This divine culture will be an integrated pattern of thought speech and action that is based on a proper balance of the Word of God and the Spirit of God.

I believe it involves small group "house-church" meetings weekly, larger "tribal" meetings monthly, and three big region-wide meetings yearly on the three main feasts of the Lord (Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles). This order is simply the biblical "wrapper" to contain the life of Christ. If it is done without the LIFE it will just be a dead religious work. Nevertheless, the feasts of the Lord are a big key to divine worship order. See

AwarenessMinistry.org

for how this is being done.

This sign and wonder on September 11th 1999 happened on the Feast of Trumpets which is one of the seven major feast days of the Lord (Leviticus 23). Trumpets in scripture are always symbolic of messages, and I think God is certainly trying to convey a message concerning the
birth of a new age in Christendom.

The specifics of this message will take years to fully understand, but the birth of something significant in the purposes of God in the earth has certainly been trumpeted for all who have ears to hear.

The leftist liberals took the opportunity to protest Col. North as the selected speaker. They just don't get it, do they?

No, they don't get it. This article points it out very well. September Tenthers

Pingpingping!

[Soaring Feather]

Where is the outrage you asked.
I'll answer you from my point of view,
it's worn on the faces of survivors
of that dreadful day.
Written on the minds of all who
witnessed the horror of planes
aimed at buildings filled with unsuspecting
humans, who in horror realized that
they would never see the light of day again.

In the dust, in crevices and places of the heart,
acid etched in memory
of terror, panic, and the awe of heinous acts
we had not seen in our lives so serene...
as a people of freedom land
the demons danced upon our land
and crying, moaning filled the hours
as visions flashed of falling towers
and people falling through the air
oh my God, what has happened here??!!

The outrage lives in some of us
we will not forget the death and gore
let loose upon our land,
let the young remember when our
land was safe from terror's hand
and hell's unholy band
of bandits and horrible greed, unleashed
and in our face, are we so dumb
to not remember that dark day??

NOTHING is going to take away MY outrage. I WILL NOT BECOME COMPLACENT. I believe that every September 11th we should watch the pictures of the people diving out of the top floors of the WTC to their death. Not to be gruesome, but so that we can truly remember the horror. Like the Darryl Worley song says -- "I;d show 'em every day." We have every reason to be angry and that anger (read: Righteous indignation) should not diminish with the passage of time. I for one won't let it!

(thanks for the ping Carlo3b)

[carlo3b]

Jenny, your post encouraged us to go out tonight and get a permanent pole so we could fly our flag more often. My boy was thrilled. I don't know why we didn't do it sooner.. Thanks

[carlo3b]

How proud you must be to have raised such a thoughtful Son!

More than you can know.. All of my kids are so special to me.. Matthew is the last one at home.. we have a great life together. I never want to regret not spending as much time as I can with him, he is so very special.. Thanks for your kind words.. :)

[carlo3b]

Breathtaking.. chills just from remembering.. thanks I will keep this link.

[carlo3b]

You are a such a special angel.. Matthew will melt when he sees this.. quick before that guy sees us.. {{{{{{HUG}}}}}}... :o)

[carlo3b]

We are not in your face with what not to do but we are behind you with what should be done. Just take the time to listen and you will hear us, as will the rest of the country and the world..

We talked about this at dinner tonight.. I told him that most folks are strong patriots that just don't wave flags until something happens.
I can't show him this thread yet.. If he knew I posted it before I told him he would be furious.. HA! I'll wait until I make the cannoli's this weekend.. then I'll spring it on him.. LOLOL

[carlo3b]

All we can do is remind our family and neighbors, and perhaps a teacher or two.. If we don't quit, it won't ever die..it lives on in our kids and those who we touch.. NEVER FORGET!

[carlo3b]

. Others just don't know how to honor those who gave their all because they were never taught to show proper respect.

That is so true, we have raised 2 generations of pampered kids that have never had to suffer a day in their lives.. sometimes I wonder if prosperity has been all that good for our country.. and then I look at my kids and their great friends and am relieved that we are indeed doing something right.. Bless you my dear friend.. :)
