On September 9, 2001 terrorists flew planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, brought both towers to the ground, killed 2,977 people, and caused over 25,000 injuries, with $10 billion in infrastructure damage. 343 firefighters were killed, and 72 police officers. In the midst of all that desperation and despair the workers found a Cross amidst the wreckage. I believe the Cross was put there by the Sovereign God as a symbol demonstrating that Hope shines in the midst of great sorrow. We have all seen pictures of the Cross draped with Jesus' grave cloth -- the grave cloth symbolizing His Resurrection {the empty tomb}. Note the "grave cloth" that is draped on the Cross they found in the wreckage of 9/11. It is a piece of white metal. The Cross found in the midst of the destruction and wreckage of the two towers of the World Trade Center -- Sept 11, 2001 -- proclaims in a strong clear voice that God is right there in the middle of His John 3:16-Human-Race-Love-Project no matter how severe the storms and fires we go through. He is right there with us and He will never leave us or forsake us, and He will bring good out of the evil that men do, overcoming the evil with good, and He will bring Hope to men and LOVE through the Cross. No power in the Universe can defeat and stop the power of the Cross of the Lord Jesus to bring Victory, Love, and Hope to the human race. The Cross found in the wreckage of the World Trade Center symbolizes this Hope. Best. JAG ``

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for this god to have prevented the death and destruction, rather than just placing a “cross” (which is just a t section of I beams) ?
Believers in God fly planes into twin towers, God leaves a memorial cross, doubtful if a God was gonna do something, he would have diverted the planes
Everyone has their part to play in existence. I believe the Muslims in 9/11 were as much part of god’s plan as the firefighters who were saving people. 9/11 was a catalyst, the beginning of something (or continuation) that would rock faith in governments, economies, and other man made institutions beyond the self. That event lead to our current failure in Afghanistan, showing that governments, no matter how powerful, are just fleeting ideas, as are all institutions, traditions, and ideologies. If that cross helps people on their spiritual path, then that is what it was there for. If others see it as just a chunk of steel, then that is all it is. Both can be equally valid simultaneously, as reality is unique to each being viewing it.
The fact that there is no cross at the location where the plane hit the pentagon is a symbol of faith for atheists everywhere. We can all relax knowing there is no universal despot watching everything we do and judging us for being what it created us to be.
If you have the free time what three time near death experiencer Dr. P. M. H. Atwater was shown going on in the hours and days after that attack is also truly encouraging. http://www.pmhatwater.com/resources/PDFs/911.pdf
Thanks for the link Dennis. Best Regards. JAG PS I's wondering, how many years have you been drawn to the NDE thingy? Its been a long time, hasn't it. Question: Are you drawn to the NDE thingy because it strengthens your faith in God? []
Yes.... by nineteen ninety I knew that there was something seriously wrong with what my old church.... The Worldwide Church of God led by Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong had taught me. I am truly thankful that they led me out of Atheism in nineteen seventy two or seventy three.... but the Soul Sleep doctrine was a major problem.... and once I read the near death experience of Dr. George Ritchie from nineteen forty three.... I began to understand so many scriptures in both the old and new testament so differently..... https://near-death.com/george-ritchie-nde/
No..... because humanity is on a course of action where eighty to ninety percent of us could well be Depopulated..... but if we will turn to our Creator that very likely future time line can be delayed and delayed.... and even prevented altogether....... We have far more power in our choices than we realize.... https://near-death.com/future/ Goliath Brain Bill Gates is a worthy rival to Messiah Yeshua Jesus... but he can be defeated and even flip from the darkness over to light..... like the Apostle Paul did.
