This week the nation remembers the anniversary of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.
We have been praying through the 40 day Jewish season of repentance, Teshuvah, which ends on Yom Kipper. As we complete the prayer journey we want to share a prophecy given in 1998 which warned us of the 9/11 catastrophe and launched the Teshuvah Prayer Initiative.
In the summer of 1998 a well-known prophet, Chuck Pierce, warned the Church to cleanse itself during a 40 day period corresponding to the Hebrew repentance season of Teshuvah, which ran from August 22, 1998 to September 30, 1998. He warned the Church of the coming rise of the Islamic spirit and the Spirit of lawlessness in the U.S. He also warned that, if the Church did not repent and find God’s plan, it would be unable to stop the disaster which would come at the end three years.
On September 11, 1998 the special prosecutor appointed to review to the scandals of President Bill Clinton announced that the President had committed perjury about an affair with an intern, and committed other abuses of power. Instead of removing the President, as the Republicans had done when Nixon was caught lying, the Democrats lined up behind him. By doing so, they endorsed his lawlessness and released the Spirit of Lawlessness on the country. And the Church, divided by politics, made no effective response.
Exactly three years after the announcement by the special prosecutor, just as the prophet had said, a catastrophe hit the United States. The Islamic Spirit warned of in the prophecy rose up and killed 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Few understood the judgment that had fallen on America. Many politicians made a show of defiance by quoting from a scripture, Isaiah 9:10, about rebuilding bigger and better. What they failed to understand in their ignorance was that Isaiah 9:10 scripture was condemnation of their attitude of defiance against God.
Last year the prophecy came to our attention as we prepared to pray for repentance, unity and healing the land during the 2017 Teshuvah season.

This year we have again prayed through the Teshuvah season, which ends with the Hebrew Day of Atonement on September 19.
We believe that God has begun to deal with the spirit of Islamistism in answer to our prayers. The so- called caliphate of the ISIS terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq has collapsed, and the worldwide terrorism wave is receeding. The U.S. has also scotched the terrible Iranian nuclear deal and has brought the terrorists in Tehran under tremendous pressure. Much remains to be done, but much progress has been made against the Islamist scourge.
Here in the U.S. we are seeing the exposure of the lawlessness loosed by the Clintons and fostered under President Obama. Senior officials of the Justice Department and FBI have been caught colluding with the Clinton presidential campaign to excuse Clinton’s wrongdoing while working to undermine the Trump presidential campaign and his presidency. Many Obama era regulations, promulgated illegally, have been rolled back. And the appointment of a second originalist Supreme Court Justice promises to bring back the rule of law into our judicial system.
We thank God that in His mercy He has brought relief from the threats of Islamistism and lawlessness which the Church failed to deal with 20 years ago.
Let us pray that the Church will continue the Teshuvah prayers of repentance, unity, and healing of our land and will seek God for His plans for our generation.
