Before G-d does anything He shows it to His servants the prophets.”⁴

In 1996, the Lord had me warn of His impending judgments on America (see the “The Unchangeable Calendar of G-d” under “Years of Impact”⁵). Just as G-d had warned, so has it come to pass. When G-d spoke of the “East wind” approaching, or blowing, against the shores of America, I thought this might refer to China planning an aerial attack against America. However, when planes piloted by men from the East rode upon the wings of the wind against America’s most vital shore - New York City - into the Twin Towers of world economy, this word of the “East wind” took on a different meaning.

The message of September 11th was unmistakable, as following upon the heels of America’s insistence of Israel implementing the Road Map. Although the pretense here was for a Palestinian state, the truth was that it was to bolster the West’s economy -- foremost that of the United States, since much of the world’s industry and therefore economy depends on Arab oil.

Within minutes, the twin symbols of world economy were utterly laid waste, with the added judgment of thousands dead, because President Bush had condemned Israel’s act of self-defense and measured retaliation in response to a major terror attack which killed many innocent Israeli civilians, while, at the same time America pounded Afghanistan regardless of civilian casualties.

America prides herself of her military might as though by it she has become the world’s leading power, even if she has never won a war on her own, only in alliance with other nations. The strike at the Pentagon proved that the nation’s military is as nothing in the sight of G-d, as no king, no President wins a war by the strength of his military force⁶. 

The third plane, Flight 93, crashed in a barren place in SHANKsville on LAMBerstville Road. As Pastor Brian Tunstall, of Cross of Christ Believer’s Fellowship, Ebensburg, PA, so rightly stated: “The Lamb (Jesus Christ) took the fullness of the destruction and appropriated to us the deliverance. The Lord is showing us that His mercy through His Son has stopped the full intent of the judgment and it has passed over us. His faithfulness is everlasting!”⁷

In all of these judgments G-d exercised mercy. The twin towers were daily visited by a great number of people and accomodated any given day 15,000 people or more. Yet on September 11, only a few thousands were in the buildings. Furthermore, the buildings collapsed within themselves rather than sideways, preventing yet more damage and death. G-d kept the death toll to a “minimum” in precise equivalence to the death toll by the Palestinian terror attack in Israel. 

As the President demanded⁸ that Israel implement the Road Map and in the same breath condemned Israel for its retaliation upon terrorists while American bombs pounded Afghanistan, the “East wind” was released against the East coast of America.

Likewise at the Pentagon G-d’s mercy intervened to minimize the death toll, for thousands of employees had just been placed elsewhere because of renovation works, and newly installed, special windows kept thousands more safe.

Indeed, as believing Christians petitioned G-d to show mercy in judgment, so He did! 

These days, the approaching “East wind”, blowing against the shores of America, has taken on yet another meaning. The tropical storms that develop into hurricanes, form in the “East” of the United States, off the African coast, and “approach” as well as “blow” against America’s East coast. A hurricane is a severe tropical storm that forms in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E. Hurricanes need warm tropical oceans, moisture and light winds above them. If the right conditions last long enough, a hurricane can produce violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains and floods⁹.
