The Selichote – Chapter 07

Has the revelation continued?
Has the mystery progressed to a more critical stage?
Have more harbingers now manifested on American soil?
Is America closer now than ever before to judgment?
Could this explain what has been happening in recent days?
And what lies in store for the future?
The Harbinger II will open up the mysteries of the Watchmen, the Half Moon, the Day of Tammuz, the Parchment in the Ruins, the Tree, the Inscription, the Image, the Eastern Gate, and much, much more. It will ultimately lead to mysteries concerning the future, which include the Window, the Island, the Other Mystery Ground, and the Prophecy.

Up to seven, the I was walking through a landscape of devastation.
It was night. But under the light of the moon, I could clearly discern my surroundings which were ruins, the ruins of fallen buildings, fallen walls, fallen towers, ruins of what appeared to have been an ancient city.
I could see billows of smoke rising and fires in the distance.
And every so often I could hear the crumbling of a half destroyed building, collapsing to the ground.
I knew that whatever it was that had caused all this destruction had just happened.
As I continued walking, I heard the sound of a man’s voice speaking in a foreign language which I took to be Middle Eastern and most likely Hebrew, the tone volume and manner in which he spoke were in continual fluctuation.
At times, it seemed as if he was weeping and at other times pleading at other times reciting and it still other times worshiping what was beyond natural was the fact that I heard his voice for some time with no sign of his presence.
I finally saw him sitting on top of the ruins was a bearded man clothed in a simple cloth garment that covered his entire body, including his head.
His garment was in turn covered in ashes and illuminated by the light of the moon.
With his arms outstretched, his palms turned upward and his eyes sometimes closed and sometimes gazing upward into the night sky.
He continued his speaking, his pleading and his weeping as if totally oblivious to my presence.
I watched him for some time. Then I heard another voice standing behind me was the prophet.
You don’t have to understand his words. Said the prophet to know what’s happening.
He’s weeping. I said because of the destruction of his city. That’s correct.
Who is he a profit? Which one, one of several who mourned over Jerusalem’s destruction?
But they didn’t only mourn.
They came before God to confess the sins of their nation to acknowledge the justice of the judgment and to plead with him for mercy and restoration.
It was when he finished speaking that the scene began to undergo a transformation.
It was still night and I was still surrounded by ruins. But the ruins had changed.
How so asked Anna, they were now the ruins of ground zero.
The massive heap of ruins where the towers had once stood, metal beams and frames jutting up from the heap as if sculptures of modern art and all of it covered by the haze of white dust and ash.
And there sitting on top of the heap was the man in sack, cloth and ashes still weeping, still praying and still pleading with his outstretched hands.
There is said the prophet, a series of prayers recited by the Jewish people called the the prayers were committed to writing in ages past and contain scriptures from times, still more ancient to be spoken at the appointed times.
What does mean the word refers to forgiveness, the forgiveness of God.
The are pleas for God’s mercy in light of the nation’s sin.
specifically a nation that had known the ways of God but departed from them.
So they involve the confession of sin and its pleas for God’s mercy. They also involve judgment.
Judgment is the context behind their cries for mercy and restoration the day of national judgment.
Judgment in the form of what calamity.
He replied, national calamity and most specifically the attack and devastation inflicted by its enemies.
So one might say that the slit are prayers ordained for the days of national judgment.
You said they were written down in past ages to be spoken at the appointed times.
When are the appointed times for most of the Jewish world?
The appointed times fall in the last days of the Hebrew month of the days leading up to the feast of trumpets.
It is then that the first prayers of slit are spoken. How are they spoken?
I asked certain parts of the prayers require the presence of 10 men but other parts may be spoken in smaller groups or alone.
So the ancient words are recited in synagogues and Jewish homes and wherever else the Jewish people choose to recite them.
It all begins in the days before the feast of trumpets at midnight following the Sabbath.
So from Saturday night until dawn or sunrise on Sunday morning comes the first.
Then from midnight on Sunday to dawn or sunrise on Monday morning comes the second slit.
The prayers may be recited any time between midnight and dawn.
Though they are most often recited at the approach of dawn, the third slit ends at the breaking of day on Tuesday morning.
At that, he paused. Why are you stopping?
I asked the prayers appointed for the day of national judgment were finished at dawn Tuesday morning.
On that day, on what day, September 11th, 2001, the events of 9 11 happened to fall during the days of the slit, the days of the prayers appointed for a nation’s judgment.
And so as that day began, the prayers concerning national calamity were lifted up and it was then that the calamity fell.
On the morning of 9 11, they recited the ancient words that concerned the striking of a nation by its enemies.
And it was that day and that morning that America was struck by its enemies.
The words they prayed on the morning of 9 11 concerned the shaking of a nation that had once known God but turned away.
And it was that morning that the nation that had likewise turned away from God would be shaken.
What’s that? I asked?
I couldn’t make out what I was hearing or which direction it was coming from. Look.
No, he said, pointing to the cityscape that surrounded the ruins.
I saw a man standing on top of a building looking very much like the man I had seen in the ruins at the beginning of the dream robed and hooded and with his arms lifted up as if in prayer, then I saw another figure similar to the first standing on top of a more distant building and then another and another and then through the windows of lit up apartments, the silhouettes of like figures, all of them as if in the midst of prayer, what you are hearing said, the prophet are their voices, the voices of those speaking, the slit New York City is home to more Jewish people than any other city in America.
So what would that mean? It would mean that the would be spoken all over the city and throughout the region, it means that as 9 11 began, the ancient words were being recited all over the city concerning national calamity, an enemy attack and the devastation of a city before it took place.
What words specifically I asked for the Jewish people.
It echoed back to the destruction of their city, Jerusalem.
But it would now echo forward to speak of what was about to come.
The words recited the morning of 9 11, spoke of enemies who had come to the land and seek to bring destruction to the nation’s buildings.
They said raise it, raise it down to its foundations.
On 9 11, the high towers that embodied the glory of American civilization became a desolation.
So the ancient words that were spoken on the morning of 9 11 said this, our desires have been devastated and our glory has been demolished.
Our palace has become a desolation.
And the end of that day, as America gazed at the desolation of its crowning city, many were led to invoke the words God bless America.
But before the calamity had even taken place, the plea for God’s mercy was already echoing through New York City.
My God incline your ear and hear, open your eyes and look upon our desolation and the desolation of the city.
By the night of 9 11, the entire nation and much of the world had seen or heard of the devastation.
At midnight, it was time for the next series of prayers appointed from ages past to be lifted up.
They were the prayers of the fourth.
They would speak again of the nation’s devastation of the desire of its enemies to raise its buildings, to their foundations and of the demolishing of the nation’s glory.
But the greatest tragedy of 9 11 was not the loss of buildings but lives.
So the ancient words would now speak of the loss of life caused by the nation’s enemies.
They cut off our life, they spilled our blood in order to destroy us violent men drove them to destruction.
The calamity of that day began as the first plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Then as the first calamity was not yet finished. The second suddenly followed.
As the second plane crashed into the South Tower, the ancient words of the fourth slit said this, the first visitation of calamity was not yet finished.
When the second one suddenly followed, it, the most iconic image left in the wake of the calamity was that of the massive heap of ruins left in the place where the nation’s high towers had once stood.
The slit appointed for that night said this, my city is reduced to a lasting ruin heap and my high places are brought low.
And as the nation gazed in shocked horror that night, the dust covered desolation of ground zero.
The words of the Sligo a pointed for that night were recited, raise up the city that is lowered to the dust.
So it just happened.
I said that those words were appointed from past ages to be recited on the days of the calamity or the calamity just happened to fall on the days of the appointed words.
So on the morning of 9 11, when the nation’s defense Department had no idea what was about to happen, the ancient words were being recited of the attack of a nation and its city by its enemies.
And the words were being spoken, especially on the nation’s east coast.
And in New York City that morning, where the attack would take place.
The reciting of the was to be completed by daybreak.
And so on 9 11, it was in the last hour of the utterance of those ancient words of judgment that the terrorists of 9 11 set the attack in motion.
Daybreak came to New York City at approximately 6 30.
The prayers appointed for the day of calamity were now completed.
Within 15 minutes of that moment, the terrorists arrived at Logan Airport in Boston from which they would launch the nation’s calamity.
The next mystery would take me on to a centuries old ship on a voyage that would uncover the secret of 9 11 in a mystery of time.
