"O, My God!" Was the Exclamation on that Fateful Day 9/11 By Joel Joseph Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd Conclusion y Pastor Boyd
I watched a few clips of the events of that fateful day, 9/11 in New York, on its recent memorial. I was struck by the large amount of people in the crowds crying – “O My God” as the shock hit them.
The buildings were not the big thing, although they cried out with a roar too. It’s the human lives that matter. Buildings can be rebuilt. Not one of those lost lives can be!
With all the “O my God” cries, I wondered just how many of those people were crying the truth! How many of those, and those of other shocking tragedies, did have God as their own, and how many did God Himself know personally through newbirth?
I had a good school friend who died of cancer recently. He knew his end was coming. He cried out “O my God, save me,” in advance of his death. Like the thief on the cross, his faith-filled, timely cry to our Lord saved him.
The point is that when we see death coming, if wise, we prepare. When it comes suddenly, you don’t have the time to make right with God and in most cases, “O my God” is a futile empty cry.
If you think an aircraft hitting a building was sudden, I have news for you. The rapture will occur in a blinding, flash. It is an “atomo” (1 Corinthians 15:51) meaning the smallest division of time.
The tribulation period will begin suddenly.
Even you put sincere belief and hope in “O my God.” It will still take you a second to say it. Sorry – too late to catch the rapture!
“O my God” will immediately be a cry of lost desperation, of panic, horror, and terror, rather than a cry for salvation.
“O my God” can save you, or be empty, useless words on your way to hell.
And let’s just remember that our God is Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus the Christ, Jesu, Gesu, Isa and many other names.
Many people faced with sudden terror, swear or blaspheme. That really shows what is in their heart.
Right now, we are on the verge of sudden terrors which will lead into the tribulation period. We are on the verge of the pretribulation rapture. I don’t know exactly when it will be, but this I do know – it will be very soon, and it will catch many by surprise!
If the coming of the rapture / tribulation is going to be delayed for any significant amount of time, there is very much that has been fulfilled, that would have to be meaningless or have to be unraveled.
I wonder how many “O my God’s” will be produced by those left behind. You see you can scream the odds for being left behind in the parking lot by your angry wife, or by the bus or train, but imagine the thought process of those left behind by God!
They will suddenly have to admit that God was right and they were wrong and deceived!
God’s ways are supreme and way above our ways. His choice is sovereign and not open to discussion or vote. When we line up with His sovereignty and will – things just fall into place.
●A powerful example of God’s sovereignty:
Israel, Jerusalem and the Palestinians represent God’s choice and Satan’s. (2 Chronicles 6:6, 1 Chronicles 21:1, 1 Chronicles 23:25 2 Chronicles 33:4, Zechariah 3:2,)
►If you do not know these verses listed above very well, I strongly suggest you study them! They are perhaps the most important for the world today, and will produce billions of “O my God” cries. Any political leaders out there reading this – read those verses 10 times over.
If you exalt the fruit above the tree you are in trouble. The tree represents truth, with the fruits representing the product. If you are going to make the fruit of peace supersede the truth, you have to dethrone, or cast down the truth.
The Palestinians, in the name of their brand of peace, which is actually Islamic control, say that if you give us the land of Israel and Jerusalem, there will be peace. To do that you must cast down the truth, which says that dividing the land will bring war and not peace. (Joel 3:2)
When you cast down the truth a terrible God-created inversion takes place: You will praise the wicked! (Proverbs 28:4) Yes...God will allow you to praise the wicked!
WICCA IN RITUALISTIC DANCE Have you noticed how the world praises the Palestinians and rejects God’s choice and will?
Beloved brethren, do not lose sight of the very soon coming of our Lord. All these prophetic things are about to roll!
Psalm 62:5 “My soul, wait silently for God alone, my expectation is from Him.”
Song of Solomon 5:12 “I sleep, but my heart is awake.”
Sometimes we have to tell our human reasoning to shut up! Shut up and stop squealing!
Our expectation must endure. Even while we are sleeping, we are awake to our Lord!
As we wait faithfully for our Lord the endurance itself, is a form of brokenness in preparation.
Those who have been broken to self - will and self-reasoning are full of spiritual reality and usefulness to our Lord, in the short time that remains.
What remains untouched, unbroken in you, remains so in others too. Where you have gone, you can lead – right or wrong.
Daniel 2:22 “He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.”
Psalm 42:7 “Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfall; all your waves have gone over me.”
Deep calls unto deep! Shallow calls unto shallow too. The halfbaked call unto the half-baked and they all get sick! The lukewarm call unto the lukewarm and they all end up as vomit!
But to get the deep glory of the Spirit of God released out of you, you must be broken.
Our Stairway to Heaven When God is leading you into brokenness he works with tools of holiness, and brings you to His type of victory – His way. An ugly caterpillar becomes an ugly, useless pupa. Only then does the beautiful butterfly emerge.
When the devil is leading you to brokenness he leaves you shattered and crushed in your sin. You mutate into a monster.
Psalm17:15 “As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.”
When you cry, “O my God” may be it be the truth!
Conclusion We all thought terror cannot happen on our land until it did. Many think today we cannot be nuked, but scripture says in Revelation 18:1-8, where it is talking about The Fall of Babylon the Great, “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see
sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.” If you think commercial mystery Babylon is America then you must believe what God has said. There is another horror coming that will terrify the world as America is destroyed in a day leaving nations stunned and crying out for its loss. Cry out to God to save you now so that you will escape all these nightmares to come. Soon the rapture will await, are you worthy to go? Are you rapture ready? The lord is coming soon. Maranatha……….
