COULD 9/11 BE IN THE BIBLE?


   On the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen Islamic terrorists hijacked four American passenger planes.  Three of the planes were used to carry out successful attacks against both the World Trade Centers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a Pennsylvania field after the terrorists’ plans were foiled by heroic passengers. The combined attacks killed 2,977 people along with the hijackers. It was a tragedy that rocked our nation and the world. 
 Could this horrific, modern time event have been foretold by Zephaniah the prophet over 2,500 years prior?
  Zephaniah was a prophet around 625 B.C. Some call him the “royal prophet” because he was of the bloodline of David who had been the second anointed King of Israel. He wrote his prophesies during the reign of King Josiah, who was the last righteous king the kingdom of Judah would have.

"noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second"
Zephaniah 1:10 says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
In the time period that this verse was written, the fish gates were main entrances to the trade markets of the Judean society. These were the center of all the trade and business that was conducted in the city. 
Both the North and the South Trade Center Towers were the hub of the financial district of New York City and were visual examples of our nation’s economic strength and prosperity.;
Could the "noise of a cry from the fish gate", which was known as the center of economic dealings at the time of the prophesy, be referring to Flight 11 crashing into the North Tower, a modern day hub of economic activity? "A howling from the second" could be referring to Flight 175 crashing into the South Tower and "a crashing from the hills" could be referencing Flight 93 crashing in Pennsylvania. 

Zephaniah 1:15-16 says, “ That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and gloominess, a day of clouds and a thick darkness, a day of trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.” The day the towers fell, they created mast clouds of dust that covered as far as six blocks. It was literally and figuratively a dark day.
The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense which is a figurative “fence” protecting America from danger.
The events of 9/11 did not just have immediate effects but also long term ones that we are still dealing with today. 
September 11, 2001 set events in motion that ultimately culminated in an economic recession and the crash of the housing market in 2007-2009. 
This collapse triggering the government bail out which contributed largely to our nation’s current debt of over 19 TRILLION dollars. 
Zephaniah 1:13 says “Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.”

"day of clouds and a thick darkness"
In conclusion, while there are not specific references naming the World Trade Centers and the events of 9/11, there are many parallels and symbolisms that seem to match and describe the events that happened that day and the days that followed. Zephaniah’s prophesies were for the Israelites and every one of his God-given prophesies did come to pass for them.  However, sometimes biblical prophesies have a current and future foretelling. Could these verses in Zephaniah be one of those examples? Could they be referring to both the eventual destruction of the nation of Israel as it existed in Zephaniah’s time, as well as the beginning of the destruction of America?
