This is not 'prophecy, it is observation and then extrapolation. That is,
she lived at a time when buildings were indeed growing taller, and when,
indeed building fires were not uncommon, and firemen sometimes found
themselves hopeless. To say that there will be more of the same, but only
bigger, is insignificant and obvious.
Here is MY 'prophecy' for the day:
"I see a great storm hitting a people in Florida who thought they could bask
idle in the sun, forgetting the suffering of their fellow human beings, and
creating much havoc and panic amongst them. I see their bodies swirling in
the cruel waters, the hands of their fellows reaching for them, as they are
ripped away never again to be seen."
Yawn.
BTW, I can make up LOTS of these, and they would be even better with a bit
of time to draft them. Hmmmm..... I wonder if the world needs a new
prophet!
Now, if she had said something about airplanes flown by an angry people who
wanted to hit back at us for our support for Israel...well, then I would be
impressed. And this is not asking too much, for if she had a vision of
Sept. 11, surely the vision would have included airplanes hitting the
buildings, no? It is a pretty sorry vision that omits the single most
distinctive visual aspect of the event that the vision purports to describe.
Other aspects of the 'prophecy' are intriguing...is she (and you) saying
that the people who attacked the WTC were the instrument of 'the turning
and overturning of God's power'? And is she saying that the firemen were
unable to operate their equipment? This is the first time I've heard it
suggested that the fire equipment didn't operate.....
So, I think what we have here is a group of believers who search the
'prophetic' writings of the founder of their church to show themselves and
others how amazing and 'true' their prophet is. It may be a bit of stretch,
but any connection between the prophecy and a current event will do, as long
as its premises and claims aren't examined too closely, to comfort and
reassure the believers in their faith.
Best regards,

GEORGE:
Here are, in my opinion, a couple of her most remarkable quotes:
"In regard as to what is coming on New York ... I know that one day the
great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning
of God's power."
Much more specifically, from a vision:
"On one occasion in New York City ... I was called upon to behold
buildings rising story after story toward heaven .... The scene that next
passed before me was an alarm of fire .... these buildings were consumed
as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the
destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines."
Has anybody on this group heard or read anything more specific than this
that seems to have pointed to Sept 11th?
George
