’ I will even appoint TERROR over you, …’”

Tribute in Light ── in remembrance of the September 11, 2001 attacks

Twenty-four years ago (September 11, 2001), Islamist terrorist suicide attacks by al-Qaeda against the United States of America hijacked four commercial airliners, two of which were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the third into the Pentagon. Murdering 2,977 and injuring some 25,000+!

This being the anniversary of this tragic and horrific event ── a life-changing event ── a great deal has been discussed. 

September 9, 2025

A terminally ill 9/11 hero and his first responder wife on Tuesday slammed Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani for associating with vile left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once said “America deserved” the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“How can you hang around with someone who said, ‘America deserved 9/11?’ That’s disgraceful,” Wendi Turturici, 52, who became an EMT after the 9/11 attacks, told The Post in an interview. 

“Mamdani doesn’t deserve to be mayor,” she said. “I’m calling on [him] to disavow Hasan Piker and his hateful words.”

The United States of America has spent large amounts of money “fighting” terrorism, as well as taking political and military positions.

The war in Afghanistan, which lasted from 2001 to 2021, killed some 66,000–69,095 Afghan forces, some 80,000+ Taliban insurgents, some 2,000+ al-Qaeda fighters, and yet, both the Taliban, which also refers to itself by its state name, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and al-Qaeda exist! Both of whom are terrorist groups!

Also, ever since September 11, 2001, the government of the United States of America has eliminated virtually all privacy, mandatory lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with threats of jail or fines, and even loss of employment, if individuals did not receive the “developed too fast” COVID-19 vaccines. 1 Also, the US made commercial airline travel even more difficult. All Americans have lost a great many Constitutional rights since 9/11.

Of course, after losing a great many of our rights and freedoms ── a few of which are inalienable ── the United States of America continues to be terrorized from within and abroad!

Sadly, the actions taken immediately after 9/11 changed the United States ── and the world as a whole! Certainly, in terms of law and privacy, creating and fostering a nation that is growing in its totalitarianism. 

There has been growing violent suppression of free speech from homegrown terrorist groups such as the left-wing group Antifa, the BLM movement, the social media and online search engine juggernauts Meta and Google, as well as the intentional “hiding” of certain YouTube videos, anti-freedom of speech and religion in the United States and Canada, and outright totalitarian decrees by governmental officials ── all of which are different types of TERRORISM!

Long before US President Abraham Lincoln gave his acceptance speech on June 16th, 1858, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ warned us ──  

“’ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25) And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.’” – Mark 3:24-25. 

Certainly, after our beloved President Donald Trump leaves office, what will happen to the United States of America, as well as our British-descended allies, will be far worse than anything that most people could ever imagine is possible! 

Five reasons American decline appears irreversible

1. Uncontrollable U.S. Debt.
2. Invasion of Illegal and Unvetted Immigrants Not Willing to Assimilate.
3. The Modern Democratic Party is Consumed with Hate.
4. Loss of American Identity and Patriotism
5. The Rise of Socialism and Communism In America.          

Truly, bringing into the US ── often by the cover of night ── certain Syrian immigrants, which several Anglo-Saxon nations have, will not end well (cf. Isaiah 9:8-9, 11-12). Many known and unknown terrorists have entered the US illegally in the past few years, who are now … surely… within a “sleeper cell.”

The Trump administration’s massive deportation of illegal immigrants from the US could certainly embolden terrorists to act inside as well as outside the US! President Trump’s “America First” and peace through strength, along with his bold and strong stance on tariffs, have changed how Europeans view the transatlantic alliance, according to a new poll. Half of European citizens consider the U.S. a “necessary partner,” which is more than twice that of those who viewed Washington as an “ally.” 2

Of course, it could be that the U.S. is no longer allowing the Europeans to take advantage of us. 

Notice this grave prophecy in Psalm chapter 83 ── yes, prophecy! 

Beginning in verse 3 ── “’ They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4) They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’ 5) For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: 6) The tents of Edom [the progenitor of the Turkish people] and the Ishmaelites [Saudi Arabia]; Moab [think Jordan] and the Hagrites [they anciently dwelt in the land known as Syria today]; 7) Gebal [Lebanon], Ammon [modern Jordan], and Amalek [Turks]; Philistia [modern Palestinians] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Lebanon] 8) Assyria [whose descendants migrated to Germany] also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot [Moab and Ammon in modern Jordan]” – Psalm 83:3-8. 

Nearly all of these peoples are in lands dominated by Islam! And, this divine prophecy in Psalm 83 is very likely to involve terrorism. Why?

Because ‘taking crafty counsel’ certainly sounds like the plotting of terrorism. Notice also that a deal will happen involving Assyria, which is prophesied to take the sovereignty of the USA as well as the UK. 

Terrorism in this modern age can certainly involve what are called “dirty bombs,” Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons (EMPs), mass shootings, interfering with the electrical grid, violent demonstrations and civil unrest, along with chemical and biological warfare. 

Many of our peoples globally appear to have lost their minds! (cf. Revelation 12:12). 

Sadly, especially since 9/11, the United States of America has taken away a great many of its citizens’ civil liberties that we have so cherished as a nation ── all while certainly thwarting many suspected terrorist plots. How our nation, as a whole, treats our peoples at commercial airports, including US veterans, is shameful. Citizens of the US no longer have the same rights that our Constitution afforded us; many of those rights get in the way of government intrusions, such as citizen surveillance. Of course, this surveillance often includes looking for potential terrorists ── which now includes a few illegal and unvetted immigrants from other nations. And, so often,  a leftist judge will intervene to protect the known criminals rather than the law-abiding US citizens!

Now… despite US government efforts ── especially from the last administration ── the time is soon coming when terror around the world will increase. Including in the United States of America! 

How do we know this? 

Because your Bible says it will.  

“’ But IF you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, 15) and IF you despise My statutes, or IF your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, 16) I also will do this to you: …’” – Leviticus 14-16.

Notice the first thing He says. The first thing, the FIRST CURSE – “…’ I will even appoint TERROR over you, …’” Have you ever seen that before? It’s been in my Bible ever since I’ve owned this particular Bible and all the other Bibles I’ve ever owned. Right from the Word of God, ‘IF you don’t obey Me, TERROR will come to your land!’ Now, think about all the terror which has come to our land here the last few years! Certainly, with September 11, 2001, and then all the other events!

Friends, just as we teach our young children, ‘every action has an equal and opposite reaction,’ God – the mighty and awesome CREATOR of His universe – teaches all mankind, “’ But it shall come to pass, IF you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, [for there is but ONE God, and ONE Mediator between God and all men, Jesus Christ; Isa. 44:6], to observe CAREFULLY all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: ….’” – Deuteronomy 28:15. 

“’ The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be TERROR within For the young man and virgin, The nursing child with the man of gray hairs’” – Deuteronomy 32:25.

“’ Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel. Terrors including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh.’” – Ezekiel 21:12.

“Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches. … 19) Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.” – Psalm 73: 12, 19.

That was true during the Prophet Asaph’s day ── and it’s just as true today in this present evil age. 

What is soon to come upon the nations of the world will be far worse than any 9/11! 

“Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures [a mighty and powerful archangel] saying with a voice like thunder, ‘Come and see.’” – Revelation 6:1.

“’ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. …’” – Matthew 24:7; Daniel 11:40-44; Revelation 6:3-4.

“ … ‘And there will be famines, …’” – Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:5-6.

“ … ‘pestilences, …’” – Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:7-8.

“ … ‘and earthquakes in various places.’” – Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:12. 

“’ And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; …’” ── See Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24.

“’ Wail, for the DAY OF THE LORD is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 7) Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man’s heart will melt. 8) And they will be afraid Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another; Their faces will be like flames. 9) Behold, the DAY OF THE LORD comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it. 10) For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.’” – Isaiah 13:6-10.

The sun, moon, and stars shall not give their light because of massive volcanoes erupting around the globe, spewing dark ash clouds into the atmosphere, blocking the light from shining ── certainly caused by the massive earthquake (Revelation 16:18). 

“ … ‘ and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring.’” ── See Revelation 8:7-12. “’ men’s hearts failing them from fear and expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’” – Luke 21:25-26.

Without national repentance to the Lord God ── the Creator of the heavens and of earth ── all nations, according to God’s living word, will be utterly consumed with terrors!          

Yet, personal repentance to the Lord God is still very possible. Are you able to see and hear what the Spirit has to say? 

If you do ── “Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7) Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him RETURN to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” – Isaiah 55:6-7. □
