PASTOR TROY BREWER, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 8, 2021
NEVER FORGET – LOOKING BACK AT 9/11
If you could go back through time one week ago and speak to this congregation and tell everybody that on this coming Tuesday, something so terrible will happen that the New York Stock Exchange, Capitol Hill and and law making will be shut down. Every commercial airplane in the United States would land at the nearest airport and every airport on American soil SHUT DOWN. The US postal system and anything else relying on air transportation. Every building in America over 20 story stories tall would be evacuated. Every national monument closed. Every national library and museum closed. Every national park in the United States closed. The American border to Mexico and Canada closed. Every major league baseball game postponed. Every NFL football game cancelled. Even though it’s opening week for the fall lineup, all television shows will be postponed and nothing but news would run. Disney Land and World closed. That this coming Tuesday, schools would be let out and everybody would just want to get home or get to church for the purpose of prayer. If you said that on Tuesday night, on Thursday and next coming Sunday the President, the Governor and the even the lawmakers on Capitol Hill would call for national prayer and nobody would be offended. That even the liberal press would ask for prayer and there would not be one voice of outrage over the nation seeking the face of God?
Even in your wildest imagination you could not have envisioned these scenes that have become so familiar to us by now.
How big is the army? 19 men
How horrible were their weapons of mass destruction? Box knives
See, you would not have believed any of this last week because this time last week most Americans believed that The United States was untouchable. And what we have learned this week is that we are indeed touchable.
The next time you begin to veer away from trusting God an thinking that your walk with God is not al that important because of country you live in remember that this Giant of a nation can be brought to its Knees by 19 men with Box cutters.
The fact that the pentagon was hit is in of itself a spiritual sign that our national security is down
This Nation is only a great nation as long we serve the one true and living God. The hedge of protection that surrounds this country is only as quality as the righteous walks of the people in This country.
In Ecc 10:8 The Bible says he that breaks the hedge gets bitten by the serpent
The word is out the hedge is broken and nobody imagined how great the snake is….
The prophetic pictures of
The pentagon Our national security attacked
The empire city in the empire state smoking as a burning furnace American airline and united airlines hijacked and crashed
AMERICANS UNITED
People falling from the skies and plunging to their deaths
All of new your city covered in ash a sign of great tragedy and mourning
Our fire fighters and rescue workers covered and descimated
And the the horror of the unthinkable
The first building came down before the next one happened
We knew it was going to happen and there was nothing we could do
29 minutes and 22 secs later
911 became known as the terrible day in our history we could never forget
I had been preaching on the the numbers 9 and 11
There are 2 numbers associated with judgment
9 11
9 = Judgment ; 11 = Disorder
911
Judgement on Disorder
There are nine Biblical sieges of Jerusalem.
There are nine Biblical situations when fire came down upon the earth from heaven:
In Haggai chapter 1, God’s judgment is poured out upon nine different things.
Nine people are stoned in the Bible:
There were nine healed lepers who were not thankful (Luke 17).
and God’s spirit is still Executing Judgment Today
There are nine members of the Supreme Court. In our country, nine is still associated with judgment.
The very last days of 2004 were interrupted by one of the world’s worst natural disasters. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the ocean floor of Indonesia. It moved the entire island of Sumatra about 120 feet to the southwest and pushed up a gigantic mass of water that collapsed into a tsunami.
This massive wall of water devastated shorelines around the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, killing over 221,000 people. This flood affected the lives of everyone on this planet in one way or another. It even made the earth wobble on its axis for a brief time!
“As it was in the days of Noah,” Jesus proclaimed in Luke chapter 17, “so shall it be at the return of the Son of man.” Remember, in the account of Noah, there was an earthquake on the ocean floor when “the springs of the deep burst forth” at the same time the rain started to fall.
A flood that affected the whole world in 2004, is created from an earthquake from the ocean floor with the number nine stamped on it. That underwater earthquake created an unprecedented tidal wave that hit Indonesia at exactly 9:00 a.m.
AND IT IS DOCUMENTED BY AN ORGANIZATION WITH AN ACRONYM NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Biblical Examples of Disorder and 11
Canaan, who was cursed by Noah because his father Ham jumped way out of order, had 11 sons. He was also the 11th generation from Adam. (Genesis 10)
Samson lost everything because he would not put God and His calling first. It’s no coincidence that Delilah betrayed him for 1,100 pieces of silver. Again, we have judgment on disorder.
Jesus’ life on earth was about 33 years (3 x 11), then He was “cut off.” Now that’s a big deal because 1,100 is mentioned only twice in Scripture. Both times it refers to days in which there was no king. (Judges 16:5; 17:2)
Remember, when the King is not allowed to be the King, He will judge that as disorder. That’s what 11 is all about.
11/22/1963 in America
Our country truly began to disintegrate in the year 1963. We walked right out from under God’s banner by taking prayer and the Bible completely out of our government and public school system.
Madelyn Murray O’Hare, a perverse writer for Larry Flint’s “Hustler” magazine, organized a small number of people called the American Atheist’s Organization. With a few liberal judges and an apathetic church on her side, she was able to change the entire course of our nation.
Forty-two years later, she was murdered by David Waters, one of the convicted murderers she loved to hire for her staff. Do you think his name is a coincidence or do you have an eye to see?
After kidnapping and murdering O’Hare and her family, he dumped their bodies into oil drums filled with acid. Just like the Biblical Jezebel, she would not have a grave for the world to mourn her.
I am sorry for the terrible way she, her son and her granddaughter died. It’s just terrible, but I’m not surprised at her outcome whatsoever.
Luke 19:27
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Remember, when you get out from under spiritual, vertical alignment, judgment comes in the form of disintegration and things start to fall apart. Just consider a few of the polarizing events that happened right after we removed prayer and the Bible from our government.
1963, Chaos and Judgment
America entered into the Vietnam War.
The Birmingham church bombing.
The Beatles came to America and changed our youth culture forever.
Hugh Hefner introduced the Playboy Bunny to mainstream America.
We’re talking about sex, strife, drugs, and rock n’ roll: The four horsemen sent to America in judgment.
But the greatest single event in 1963 that marked the death of “Camelot,” or you could say the king ruling in America, was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It’s not by chance or blind mechanical fate, but the very voice of God that speaks through the date of his death; November 22, 1963, or 11/22 (11×2).
Judgment, Disorder and the United States
There have been many 11s stamped on national American tragedies throughout our history.
On 11/11/1778, loyalists to England and local Indians massacred 42 American settlers at Cherry Valley, New York. It sent our fledgling nation into shock.
President Lincoln’s final public speech was given on April 11, 1865, just three days before his assassination.
But there is no greater 11 associated with American tragedies than that of 9-11.
9-11 and the Call for Help
Matthew 13:13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
9 = Judgment ; 11 = Disorder
I told you there are two Biblical numbers associated with judgment: the number nine represents judgment by God’s Spirit and the number 11 represents judgment from disorder. Consider the 11s emphasized during this particular event:
The date of the attack: 9/11 (9 + 1 + 1 = 11).
September 11 is the 254th day of the year (2 + 5+ 4 = 11).
After September 11, there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
Henry Hudson discovered Manhattan Island on Sept. 11, 1609.
The State of New York was the 11th State added to the Union.
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11.
Flight 11 had 92 on board (9 + 2 = 11).
Flight 11 had eleven crew members – two pilots and nine flight attendants.
Flight 77 had 65 passengers on board (6 + 5 = 11).
Twin Towers, standing side by side, looked like the number 11.
The WTC Towers were each 110 stories high.
The first WTC tower hit, the North Tower, collapses at 10:28 A.M. (1+2+8=11)
The WTC towers collapsed to a height of 11 stories.
The first fire unit to arrive at the WTC towers was FDNY Unit 1; they lost 11 firemen.
New York City has 11 letters.
Afghanistan has 11 letters.
The Pentagon has 11 letters.
Henry Hudson has 11 letters.
The World Trade Center fires burned continuously for 99 days, between Sept. 11, and Dec. 19, 2001. It is the longest burning commercial fire in U.S. history.
On Sept. 7, 2002, NYC Medical Examiners announced the revised official death toll from the World Trade Center attacks was 2,801 (2+8+0+1 = 11).
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2002, the names of 2,801 victims were read at a Ground Zero Ceremony. It took 2 ½ hours to read all the names.
You can’t get away from the numbers, because the numbers are the message.
On that same day, exactly one year from the disaster, something else incredible happened and everybody was talking about the numbers nine and 11 again.
The Message in the Numbers
Just in case we didn’t think the numbers mattered, a year to the day after the event, the same numbers gained national headlines again. God was still preaching.
On Sept. 11, 2002, New Yorker’s felt like someone was pulling a cruel joke. Fox News announced that, minutes before, the New York lottery drew 9-1-1 as the winning pick-3 combination in their digit lottery!
The news anchor exclaimed that it was incredible and put his hand on his head! He was looking in disbelief at the New York lottery website on his laptop. What’s more amazing, if you know what God speaks through numbers, is according to nylotto.com, the evening payouts were a staggering $4,999,990 in prize money.
The Ninth of Av
There was a 9-11 for thousands of years before that day became a national day of tragedy for the United States. The ninth day of the 11th month, the Ninth of Av, has long been mourned as a national day of tragedy for Israel. Whereas in the western culture Friday the 13th tends to be feared, you can multiply that greatly for the Jews when it comes to the Ninth of Av.
Amazingly, both temples were destroyed on the very same day nearly 500 years apart. Since then, the Jews have paid very close attention to the day with the two numbers associated with God’s judgment (nine and 11). They have noticed that tragedy has stalked them on this day throughout the centuries.
Examples of Ninth of Av Tragedies Throughout History
The golden calf in 1312 B.C.
The failure of the 10 spies which caused 38 additional years in the desert.
The destruction of Solomon’s Temple in 587 B.C. Over 100,000 killed and a nation exiled.
Two million killed and a nation exiled with the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D.
The crushing of the Bar Kokhba Rebellion in 135 A.D. Over 580,000 Jews were killed, with 50 fortified towns and 985 villages razed.
The Pope orders the First Crusade in 1096. Scores of thousands slaughtered.
The expulsion of the Jews from Britain by King Edward the Longshanks in 1290.
The expulsion of the Jews from Spain and the beginning of the Spanish Inquisition in 1492.
The eruption of WWI in 1914.
The end of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the massacre of 50,000 survivors in concentration camps in May 1943.
Arab terrorists bombed the AMIA (Asociación Mutua Israelita Argentina) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, killing 86 and wounding more than 120 in 1994.
The mandatory evacuation of the Gaza Strip and the demolition of thousands of homes of Jews in 2005.
When you see this, it’s no wonder Tisha B’Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people. These tragedies were the result of not walking with God. The same as our own 9-1
911 – Call for Help, America!
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
New York could not get away from 911 on 9-11.
Nor is it coincidence that on that same exact night, the New York Yankees won 5-4 in the 11th inning. It was in all the papers the next day and people felt like they needed to pay attention to the numbers.
It’s not just the numbers people need to see, but the Word of God that the numbers point to.
In the 1980s, our government began to install the 9-1-1 emergency system throughout the U.S. It is the designated number you dial when you have an emergency and you need to call the authorities for help. We all knew that 9-1-1 meant “emergency” before 9-11 ever happened!
It’s amazing that we don’t call it Sept. 11, 2001. We simply call it 9-11. That never happened before this event. We all know that December 7 is the day of the Pearl Harbor attack, but we don’t refer to that date as 12/7.
No, in this case, the numbers are the message and God is speaking to people who have no clue of His voice. Nonetheless, the Lord is faithful to speak.
Is the date significant? 9-11-01
Hebrews chapter 9 verse 11 talks about Jesus Christ being the perfect building that was not made with Hands heavenly building
and after seeing 3 buildings fall that we believed were impossible to fall it makes since that hebrews 9:11 would point is to a true industuctible building
John 9:11 the verse whee the blind man recieves sight and thats a good verse verse if your beiliving God to open th eyes of america
Acts 9:11 is the verse where Jesus tells anninias to arise go to the street called Strait and thats a good verse if your believeing that this is america wake up call to get right with God
“ Arise and go to the street called strait” Jesus says in
Acts 9:11
1 corinthians 9:11 says what you sow in the spirit is what you reap in the natural and I certainly believe that this scripture applies to the nation at this time
Revelation 9:11 introduces us to a demon from hell named abbadon which means “destroying angel” after so much destruction theres sure to be a revelation there
And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
Revelation 9:11
Amos 911
“On that day I will raise up
The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
but the fact of the matter is **** you dont have to be a theologian or a bible schollar and you dont HAVE to get spiritualy deep to know what 911 means
911 is the call you make when your in an emergency******
911 is a call for help.
when you admit you can not handle the terrible thing that is hapening and call the higher authority for help. The main reason that hedge of protection is down in the united states is because the wall of intercesion is down.
Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
It’s amazing that we don’t call it Sept. 11, 2001. We simply call it 9-11. That never happened before this event. We all know that December 7 is the day of the Pearl Harbor attack, but we don’t refer to that date as 12/7.
No, in this case, the numbers are the message and God is speaking to people who have no clue of His voice. Nonetheless, the Lord is faithful to speak.

Next level 911 revisited
Joel 2:2
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
The encounter with the Lord in 1991
The measure of judgement
The dream of my office in the rubble
“Give us hope…. tell us the truth”
In the headlines this year
Miami surfside complex collapsed *****
Afghans falling ******
Look at the tail number on the plane
A mirror image of 911
Americans were united A huge revival.
We are at war
Put on the whole armor of God!!
Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Let me tell you something real about war. Its not romantic , its not dramatic its horrible. Im talking about real down and dirty mud blood and the beer kind of hand to hand combat. let me talk to you about trench warfare. lets all come to an angreement o the understanding of armed conflict. the pain of war. the horrors of war. the reality of war is that in the midst of a conflict its either Kill or be Killed . Our generation is so ignorant of warefare that we have come to belive that wars are about peace keeping and not peace making.
WE HAVE ENTERED ON TO A BATTLEFIELD SPIRITUALLY THIS WEEK AND WE ARE AL EXPECTED TO BE WARRIORS
1 john 3:8 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Jesus did not come to keep peace Jesus came to make peace
we needed a warrior that could slap death in the face and Jesus showed up!!
this generation needs a warrior church. your family needs you to be a warrior
your spouse needs you to be a warrior The people you work with need you to be a warrior! This is not peace time this is war time and it requires you to be the kind of christian that is up to task of going to war!!!
look back at Ephesians 6******
You are required to think differently than you thought all the days before you.
You are required to have some answers ready first and foremost in your mind
You are required to know the Truth. You need to do what ever you can to get this word into your head. You need to read it. you need to hear it. You need to discuss it with other Godly people. You need to meditate on it. YOu need to profess it . Get the Word of God into your mouth. declare I will know the truth! I will not be fooled by the devil. I will not buy the lies of this world but I will have an answer to this lost and dying generation and I will not be afraid to go to war!!!!!!!!
***** We need to have a clear word for the people around us
1 cor 14:8 for if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying?
Aren’t you afraid of all the things that are happening? Im horrified by the things that are happenig to our nation today but my trust was never in the strong towers of the world trade center but my trust is in the Jesus Christ
For the name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteouse run into it and are saved.
**** We need to have a ready answer
1 PET 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Soon and very soon the eastern sky is going to crack wide open and the Ancient of Days, the Savior of the word Jesus will return and rightfully claim what belongs to him. And in that, I do not mourn but I rejoice saying, “Come Lord Jesus come” or as I would say in modern day terms, “bring it on Lord Jesus. Bring it on!”
YOU MAY BE SAYING, “I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN THESE LAST DAYS.”
I DON’T THINK I CAN HANDLE ALL OF THESE TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPENING
God could have had you born anywhere at time throughout the centuries but he has entrusted you with the responsibility to be a city set on a hill in the midst of this worlds mess.
You are anointed to live in this day and You can handle it!!!!
Esther chapter 4 The bible says that a horrible thing was about to come upon all of the nation of Israel from the hand of a terrible King. The only person in the world that anybody knew could stop it was a woman that had influence with the King a woman by the name of Esther
….BUT SHE WAS AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE not proper protocol. it was not politically correct
YOU MIGHT BE SAYING I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN HAVE A READY ANSWER I DONT KNOW IF I CAN HAVE A CLEAR WORD BUT IT BREAKS PROPER PROTOCOL ITS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT.
HEAR THE WORDS OF Mordechi
ESTHER CHAPTER 4 VERSE 13 and 14 ********
“Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?”
If you don’t speak it God will raise somebody else up to speak it
GOD HAS RAISED YOU UP FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Look at the person next to you and say “Your up to bat Now hit a home run!”
You don’t know it but you are annointed to speak in this hour you are annointed to make a difference you are annointed to convince people of the truth. The things you do matter the things you say matter so let the people of God rise and know that they have been saved for such a time as this!
YOU HAVE TO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU TO BE AN EFFECTIVE WARRIOR IN THIS DAY OF BATTLE
