Was 9/11 prophesied in the Bible?

Here is the verse in Amos 9:1 that propelled this study:

Amo 9:1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:
“Strike the tops of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads of all the people;
those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
none will escape.

What is our Standard? God or Man?

Today's podcast deals with comparing ourselves with a standard.
Is that standard Man... or God? Can we truly see ourselves as we are if we compare ourselves with another person?

Comparing ourselves with God's Standards....

2Cr 10:12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

2Cr 10:17 But, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

2Cr 10:18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

Launching TruthStream Oasis!

Hello out there, there, there! Is anyone listening??

Okay, so I'm sitting here writing my first blog post wondering how all this is gonna go. I have no fixed plans in mind; just to get out some truth to those who are thirsty for it. Life has become a wandering desert for most, even if they don't real-eyes it.

I really want TruthStream to be an Oasis for those wandering around in the desert of confusion. I would like it to be a place where people can come and sort things out and get some information that makes sense of all the disinformation around them. A place to anchor their feet to when the whirlwind of events is blowing so hard that they feel like they may just fly away.

Ever since September 11th, 2001 , alot of people have awakened from their slumber. Most of us were busy just sleeping away and living the "American Dream". Most of us now realize that it is really a fantasy that has come at a huge cost in our lives spiritually. Many, many people are real-eyesing that the world is moving in the direction of global government and are starting to see how the Book Of Revelation in the Bible is actually playing out before our eyes.

But see, for Christians, we know the enemy is also watching and that they have access to our playbook. So they are going to take every opportunity they can get to confuse us with world events and try and make us think we are further along the path than we really are.... or maybe vice versa. See, it's particularly a war against the True people of God. Any other so-called "war" is just a cover or preparation for the masses to prepare to war against God's true people.

First off, let me just admit to you that I am an ordinary guy. I am living in extra-ordinary times, but I am no prophet or apostle or anything other than a man called by God to do whatever it is He wants me to do. Isn't that how it is with all of us?? I wanted to just get that confession out right away because we are going into a time where there are going to be TONS of people making extraordinary claims about their so-called "authority" from God and what-not. It's already happening. I don't want anyone to credit me with anything other than what is warranted by what I say or do. That's it.

I am a man with feet of clay... A wretched sinner, saved by the incredible grace of God. I have a past, like many others, that I am ashamed of. For some reason, known only to God, He chose to save me out of the pit of self-destruction I was in. He picked me up, nursed me back to health and gave me some wisdom as to what is going on in this world. It's His wisdom, not mine. I don't hold onto it and possess it. He gives it to me on the fly whenever I need it. For that I am profoundly thankful, because without it, I would be lost.

So, please bear with me. I've never done any type of broadcasting or podcasting before. I am not going to be talking to you guys in the measured tones that most of you are used to hearing. I am a normal guy with a normal voice talking to you normally. I don't care for the hypnotic chanting that most broadcasters use in the media. At first, this may seem like it makes the podcast boring, but it's the information that counts.

I know there are a lot of people out there who are making a habit out of taking people on tours that lead them DEEP into the rabbit hole of the Matrix, but I am not planning on doing that. I don't think it is necassary or productive. The goal here is not to secretly and covertly indoctrinate you into the occult under the guise of being a watchman. I think that a lot of people are falling into this trap. Once you learn the symbols and meanings of the occult, they can then haunt you continually thereafter.

I'm also not sure about the frequency of this podcast as well. It may be once a week or it may be three times a week. I am not going to FORCE myself to come up with stuff. I really onlly want to rely on the Holy Spirit for the motivation to speak about things. If I have a set schedule, then I will just be forcing things and there won't be any passion and power behind it. And what use would that be? I would just be throwing stuff out there hap-hazardly with no real reason or power behind it.

If there's one thing I've learned.... we really DO need the Holy Spirit behind everything we do. If not, you are just going to be talking, witnessing or serving till you are blue in the face with no effect. It's really rendered useless without the power of God behind it.

I'm going into this with no expectations. I am a nobody. My life is not my own. When God saved me on September 27th, 2001... I was at the end of a long trail of destructive ways. I had shipwrecked my life and for all intents and purposes could have died right then and there. This endeavour belongs to the Lord. It's His to do with what He wishes. Even if He decides it goes nowhere. Bless the Name of the LORD!
