The Angel of Death and 9/11

Jerusalem Prayer Team ^ | 9/13/11 | Mike Evans

[Evil Slayer]

Last Sunday was the tenth anniversary of the most horrible day in America’s history. I have been here in New York City praying and getting ready for the gravest battle we have ever seen; in just 7 days the proclamation of Palestinian statehood will be voted on at the United Nations.

The ideological, political, military, and strategic questions of why 9/11 happened have all been exhausted. The spiritual question has not been addressed. Without a doubt, God’s hand of protection was lifted from America on 9/11. Hundreds of glassy-eyed prophets of doom have come up with thousands of reasons why it happened. I’m not interested in joining that chorus. The key question, in my mind, is how we regain God’s protection over our beloved nation so that this never happens again.

The story of the Angel of Death is best known from the days of Moses and Pharaoh. In preparation for the final plague, Moses was instructed to place the blood of the lamb on the doorposts so that the Angel of Death would pass over and not strike the house of Israel.

During a dark hour in the life of King David, a famine and plague spread across the kingdom. David stood on Mount Moriah and saw the Angel of Death nearing Jerusalem. He experienced a theophany—a divine revelation—in which he was ordered to build an altar there. One of the original inhabitants of the city, Araunah the Jebusite, owned land on Moriah. This suggests that the city had expanded from the Ophel (a ridge of hills in Jerusalem) to the neighboring mountains.

David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. He built an altar unto the Lord and offered a burnt offering and a peace offering. His obedience was a crowning moment in his career—the bringing together of God and His people. After David’s death, his son, Solomon, consecrated the House of the Lord on that very spot. The cloud of God’s divine presence, the Shekinah glory of the Lord, filled the Temple.

Many years ago in Rome, Mother Teresa prayed with me for the children of Jerusalem. I said to her, “It must be difficult living in Calcutta, one of the poorest cities in the world, and with such terrible suffering.” She looked at me with sparkling eyes and said, “Where? Calcutta?” She said, “I don’t live there.” I was amazed when she said, “I live in the city of joy, but I’m going to the poorest country in the world tomorrow—America. It suffers from a poverty of spirit. Pray for me.”

Jesus looked at the Temple in Jerusalem where the Shekinah glory had abided and wept over it. He prophesied that it would be taken apart stone by stone. After a four-month siege of Jerusalem, and on the eighth day of the Jewish month of Av (our July) in AD 70, Titus, the Roman emperor’s son, ordered his entire army to storm the Temple at dawn.

The next day was the same day on which the Babylonians had destroyed Jerusalem five thousand years before. Within the walls of Jerusalem, nearly one-half million starving Jews were living in horrific conditions. The gates of the Temple were set afire. As the wooden doorways and windows burned, gruesome scenes unfolded. Thousands of bodies putrefied in the sun. Packs of dogs and jackals feasted on human flesh.

In the preceding months, Titus had ordered all prisoners crucified; five hundred Jews died each day. The Mount of Olives and the craggy mountains around the city were so crowded with crucifixes, there was scarcely room for any more to be stood upright or trees with which to make them. So, the Romans began ripping open the bellies of the Jews and disemboweling them while they were still alive.

Children who roamed the streets of the city fell over dead from starvation. Bodies were being tossed over the walls. The people were eating cow dung, leather girdles, shoes, old hay, and even cannibalizing the corpses. Six thousand Jewish women and children huddled inside the Temple, believing for divine intervention and protection. All were massacred.

Is it possible for America to truly believe it will be exempt from God’s judgment if Jerusalem was not? The words of Mother Teresa are echoing through eternity: America is, in fact, the poorest country on earth. It suffers from poverty of spirit. All of that can change. In the Oval Office during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he showed me a small sign on his desk. It said, “A man can become too big in his own eyes to be used by God, but never too small.” Then I saw his mother’s Bible opened to 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” In the margin she had written, “Son, this scripture is for the healing of the nation.”

We have 9 days until the UN Palestinian statehood vote. The bottom line is this…while a Security Council veto would deny the Palestinians official member status, they can also seek upgraded observer status at the General Assembly as a non-member state.

This could be interpreted as implicit UN recognition of Palestinian statehood because the assembly would be acknowledging that the Palestinians control an actual state. The advantage of this option is that it would require only a simple majority of the General Assembly. Since around 120 countries have already recognized the state of Palestine to date, it would likely win such a vote overwhelmingly.

If the Palestinians were to be recognized as a non-member state, they would be able to sign certain international treaties, such as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which they cannot currently sign. This will mean thousands of lawsuits against Israel and isolation and demonization of the State of Israel.

Every child of God must fight this battle in prayer. This is a spirit battle led by Satan himself…please join me right now in binding that spirit in the name of JESUS…and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

We must continue our national campaign to alert people to the danger posed—not just to Israel but to America as well—by the Obama Administration’s plan to divide Jerusalem and curse Israel. I have just returned from speaking to the world from Israel, and I must go to New York as your ambassador to stand for Israel in the face of opposition from nearly the entire world.

Every nation and individual that supports the plan to curse Israel and steal from her the land God promised the Jews as an eternal possession will suffer His chastisement and judgment. Every nation and individual that opposes this plan and stands with Israel as a blessing to her will enjoy His blessing.

America is on a prophetic countdown to the gravest days in our history. In a few days, a vote will be taken at the United Nations that will force America to choose between standing with Israel and standing with her enemies. Israeli leaders have asked the Jerusalem Prayer Team for its support at the United Nations and a week later as the nations of the world gather for the demonic Durban III conference to continue accusing Zionists of being racists. The first Durban Conference occurred in 2001. At that conference, the Palestinians distributed copies of the anti-Semitic The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to all delegates. It was the most evil, anti-Semitic UN assembly ever against Israel.

The conference ended on September 8, 2001...and 72 hours later, the US was attacked by Radical Islam. I can assure you that in the spirit realm, this was no coincidence. God's Word promises a curse on any nation that touches Jerusalem. Once before, an American President attempted to divide Jerusalem and surrender the Temple Mount to radical Islam. That president was Bill Clinton. Now President Obama plans to do the same—this time by formally recognizing a Palestine State at the UN in September within days of the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

I do not believe for a second that all the economic and political turmoil America is going through is coincidental. America needs Divine intervention that can only come from God's people standing in the gap like Esther.

I’d say Pearl Harbor was worse...

[Twinkie]

I don’t know how many were killed at Pearl Harbor; seem to have read somewhere that the number was pretty close to the 9/11 numbers.

As the book of Revelation says regarding the churches; that Laodicea says of herself boastfully, “I am rich and increased with goods!” But what she does not know is that she is “POOR, and LAME,NAKED, and HALT, crippled and BLIND!”

The remedy given therein is to buy of Him gold, that she may be rich, clean, white linen garments, that she may be clothed and her nakedness not be revealed, and eyesalve that her sight may be restored.

We are admonished in Revelation to READ that book, (even though our understanding of it is limited). We are told to read it and we’re promised we’ll be blessed by reading, not necessarily UNDERSTANDING, but READING.
