Was it now G-d who did this? No!!! It was the law of cause and effect! Satan had free hand to destroy, for by taking the lead in dividing up G-d’s own Land and city, and oppressing His people rescued from the Nazi Holocaust, a threefold curse became activated. The first one is by G-d Himself in regard to all those sharing in the Abrahamic covenant: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse [Gen. 12:3].” The second one is by the patriarch Isaac when blessing Jacob: “… Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you [Gen. 27:29].” Now the reference is not only to the more general Abrahamic household, but more specifically to the patriarch of the Jewish people, Jacob. The third identical blessing and curse by the greedy Gentile prophet Balaam in Numbers 24:9 is made when he looks down upon the tents of tribal Israel encamped enroute to the promised Land. Whoever curses this people will be cursed himself.

G-d has not changed! He is the same today as He was yesterday¹⁷. G-d is love, but He also is a jealous G-d. “But why did this judgment come upon America only?” you may ask. Whether judgment or blessings, authority or anointing, it always comes upon the “head.” The head represents the whole person. America is the “head” of the Western world, and of the industrial powers. Hence, it was upon her “head” that the judgment of warning has descended. And because of the curse G-d could not prevent this most terrible tragedy. Doubtlessly it would still have been much worse had it not been for the fasting and pleading with G-d by many thousands of intercessors on behalf of America. (But trust me when I say that there was no joy in heaven over this. There was only one people who rejoiced --- the Palestinians!) Instead, as a sign to all the peoples the two temples to the gods of capitalism and economy --- the twin towers of the World Trade Center, New York’s glory and pride, were struck by the downward-[plane] vortex, and the seat of America’s compound might --- the Pentagon!

Oh, how clear the message!

The proud, lofty towers of man’s might and trade – a heap of rubble and ashes in a matter of just one hour! Thousands of innocent, defenseless civilians were sacrificed for the “cause” of Islam and “Palestine”¹⁸ just as Israeli victims have been readily sacrificed on the altar of capitalism, oppressed by America’s might.

This did not have to happen! For twenty years the Lord has warned of the consequences for oppressing His people and dividing up His land and city. But now, as formerly, the Lord’s true prophets were not heeded, but rather called “doom sayers!”, accused of teaching error and talking “politics” from the pulpit. Let us now see what G-d says.

Zechariah 1:14-15, 18-21 [Amp.Bible]: “So the angel who talked with me said to me, ‘Cry out, Thus says the L-RD of hosts¹⁹: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease [such as has been the U.S.]; for while I was but a little displeased [with my nation Israel] they helped forward the affliction and disaster… Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold four horns [symbols of power]. And I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns [powers] which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem [i.e., the Westbank, Israel proper and Jerusalem for a capital of a Palestinian state, my insert]. Then the L-RD showed me four smiths [one for each enemy horn, to beat it down]. Then said I, What are these horns and smiths coming to do? And he said, these are the horns or powers that scattered Judah [dismantling the Jewish settlements there to make room for a Palestinian state, my insert], so that no man lifted up his head. But these smiths or workmen have come to terrorize them and cause them to be panic-stricken, to cast out the horns or powers of the nations who lifted up their horn against the land of Judah [called “Westbank” by them, my insert] to scatter it.”

Zechariah 2:6-8, 12, 13: “Ho! Ho! Hear and flee from the land of the north[America?], says the L-RD, and from the four winds of the heavens, for to them have I scattered you, says the L-RD. Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon! For thus says the L-RD of hosts, after His glory sent me [His messenger] to the nations who plundered and spoiled you, for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye… And the L-RD [not Arafat and his PA] shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land , and shall again choose Jerusalem. Be still and silent, all flesh, before the L-RD; for He is aroused and risen from His holy habitation

Zechariah 8:2-3: “Thus says the L-RD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath [against her enemies]. For thus says the L-RD: I [not “Palestinian” exiles, my insert] shall return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem [not the PA, nor the Wakf, nor Moslems, my insert]; and Jerusalem shall be called the (faithful) city of truth, and the mountain of the L-RD of hosts [i.e., the Temple Mount Arafat claims for the PA and all the Moslems, my insert], the holy mountain [and not …..].”

Jeremiah 50:11-12, 24-25, 29, 31-32, 33-34 [RSV; inserts and amplifications are mine]: “Though you rejoice, though you exult, O plunderers of My heritage, though you are wanton as a heifer at grass, and neigh like stallions, your mother shall be utterly shamed… Lo, she shall be the last of the nations, a wilderness dry and desert…” 24 “I set a snare for you and you were taken, O Babylon [New York city], and you did not know it [in advance, but were unaware]; you were found and caught [by surprise], because you strove and struggled and contended against the L-RD. The L-RD has opened his armory, and brought out the weapons of His wrath, for the Lord G-D has a work to do in the land of the [“free and the brave”]. 29 “Summon [modern day] archers [such as missile launchers] against [New York, modern day] Babylon, all those who ‘bend the bow’ and [are experts in aiming and launching missiles]; let no one escape. Requite her according to her deeds, do to her according to all that she has done; for she has PROUDLY DEFIED the L-RD, the Holy One of Israel [and not of the PA or the UN].” 31-32 “Behold, I am against you, O proud one [you who are pride and presumption personified, Amplf. Bible], says the Lord G-D of hosts; for your day has come, the time when I will visit and punish you. And Pride, the proud one, shall stumble – totter - and fall, with none to raise him up, and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all that is round about him.” 33-34 “Thus says the L-RD of hosts: The people of Israel [my newly raised up nation] are oppressed, and the people [of the settlements] of Judah with them; all who have taken them captive are holding them fast; they refuse to let them go. Their Redeemer is strong; the L-RD of hosts is His name. He will surely plead their cause²⁰, that He may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of ‘Babylon.’”

Jeremiah 51:1-2, 5-10, 13, 45-46, 49, 53, 58: “Thus says the L-RD: ‘Behold, I will stir and raise up against [modern city of] Babylon, [New York], and against them who dwell in the midst of them that rise up and rebel against me, the spirit of a destroyer, or a destroying [East] wind²¹[that shall blow against her shores]; and I will send to New York strangers or winnowers, and they shall winnow her and empty her land, when they come against her from every side on the day of trouble.” 5 “For Israel and Judah have NOT been forsaken by their G-d, the L-RD of hosts… [contrary to the teaching in many churches] … Flee from the midst of New York [Manhatten, Brooklyn, etc.], let every man save his life! Let not destruction come upon you through her [punishment for] sin and guilt, for this is the time of the L-RD’s vengeance, the requital He is rendering her. New York was a golden cup in the L-RD’s hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine, therefore the nations went mad. Suddenly New York [was struck, her glory] has fallen and been broken; wail for her! Take balm for [America’s] pain; perhaps she may be healed. We would have healed her [with our many prayers and countless Christian TV programs], but she was not healed. Forsake her, and let us go each to his own country [from which we emigrated]; for her judgment has reached up to heaven and has been lifted up even to the skies [with the “Babylonian” towers of her defiant pride and self-glorifying “sky scrapers”]. The L-RD has brought forth our [Israel’s] vindication; come, let us declare in Zion the work of the L-RD our G-d.” 13 “O you who dwell by many waters²², rich in treasures, your end has come, [because you have filled up] the measure of your covetousness.”
45 “Go out of the midst of her, my people [of 2.5 million Jews]! Let every man save his life from the fierce anger of the L-RD! And beware [O you my children through faith in Yeshua, and you my people Israel], let not your heart faint, and be not fearful of the report heard in the land; for in one year shall one rumor come, and in another year another rumor and report, and violence shall be in the land, leader against leader…”
49 As “Babylon” has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so for “Babylon” have fallen the slain of all the earth.”
53 “Though ‘Babylon’ should mount up to heaven [for there is but one city on all the earth whose buildings ‘mount up to heaven,’ and that is New York, modern day city of ‘Babylon’], and though she should fortify her strong height [such as they are doing with the Sears tower in Chicago], yet destroyers would come upon her from Me, says the L-RD.”
58 “… The peoples labor for nought, and the nations weary themselves only for fire.”

If the righteous remain silent and do nothing, the wicked overrun the land. G-d does not expect sinners and the godless to understand and act. G-d expects of His saints to understand and take action.
