I guess I still have a problem with preachers saying this is only a call to national repentance. Certainly, we should examine our faith when others die, even from old age. So the difference here is that it was murder. But we don't get this excited as a nation about murder unless it's serial killings, especially involving sex.

It seems to me that the significance here is three-fold. It was a murderous act and involved 6000 victims, a new record. So the act itself is mostly impressive numerically. And it was an attack on the States, probably the first since the War of 1812. I think it also underlines the basic insecurity we have about aircraft.

I think any revival will be short-lived. They generally are.

I consider that God may be doing this for other purposes in order to fulfill His larger plan, not necessarily as a punishment for national sin. That we deserve to punished, I've no doubt. I just don't necessarily believe that that's the only thing He intends.

There is much I could say, but I will leave it at this- you haven't even begun to see the revival, and it will not end until Jesus takes the church off the earth. Until then, the church will grow from one degree of glory to another. We are talking the Shekina Glory of God- the manifest presence of the Glory of God.

Then the great tribulation will come.
