They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:30

Introduction

In The Sign Of The Cross, I showed how a major Old Testament prophecy is encoded with an incredible cluster of numbers and symbols, linking the terrorist attacks that took place in New York and Washington DC, on September the 11th, 2001, with two momentous events: the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the ‘day of the Lord’. In this page I will expand on the connection between 9/11 and ‘that day’. This will be achieved by revealing further ‘crossed’ numbers within the Bible and by solving what appears to be a geometric puzzle compiled from the 9/11 targets and the three strikes on them.

I would like to stress that my interpretation of the information that appears to have been encrypted within and around the events of 9/11 should not be taken to imply that I support the actions of terrorists. However, I am asserting that 9/11 takes on a new and breathtaking meaning when it is seen from a higher perspective. If you can accept that possibility then please read on.

A word on nomenclature: my findings in this page are almost entirely based on the officially accepted names for the structures targeted in the terrorist attacks. These are the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. (1, 2 and 3) The two structures within the WTC complex hit by the hijacked airplanes were known as the North Tower and the South Tower. (4)



The World Trade Centre and the Pentagon

In the New Bible Code, numbers are nearly always encoded as ordinal values, so lets look at the ordinal values of the names of the two building complexes targeted on 9/11.

the Pentagon (o) ...................................................= 125
the World Trade Centre (o) .................................= 218

Observe that the ordinal value of ‘the Pentagon’, 125, is the cube of 5 and therefore figurate. (5) A cube of 125 units can be constructed from uniform spheres or cubes, as shown:

A Cube of 125 Units

If we now sum both ordinal values we see that a second cube is created:

125 + 218 = 343

343 is the cube of 7, so 218 is the number of units required to form a shell that will surround cube 125 to create cube 343, as shown below:

A Cube of 125 Units..........A Cubic Shell of 218 Units ..............A Cube of 343 Units

................. ....................

the Pentagon + the World Trade Centre (o) = 125 + 218 = 343

So the two 9/11 targets appear to encode cube 343 and the two numbers into which it is split when it is ‘shelled’ to reveal the inner cube of 125 units. The encoding of numbers that imply two cubes, one nested within the other, is certainly intriguing, but could reasonably be regarded as coincidence wihout further evidence. However, more evidence is right at our fingertips.

Of the collection of buildings comprising the World Trade Centre, only two were struck, the the North Tower and the South Tower. Again, lets take their ordinal values.

the North Tower (o) ....= 189
the South Tower (o)......= 197

Lets now sum the ordinal values, as before.

189 + 197 = 386

This is the precise number of units in a cubic shell that can surround cube 343 to create an even larger cube, with 729 units!

A Cube of 343 Units.....A Cubic Shell of 386 Units ......A Cube of 729 Units

..................

Therefore the ordinal values of the 9/11 targets appear to encode the numbers required to construct a series of nested cubes, those of 5, 7 and 9:

the Pentagon (o)..........................................................= 125 = 5 x 5 x 5
the World Trade Centre (o) + 125...............................= 343 = 7 x 7 x 7
the North Tower + the South Tower (o) + 343...........= 729 = 9 x 9 x 9

I think that the ‘reasonable’ explanation of coincidence is seriously undermined by this second discovery, which takes us beyond the reasonable world into a realm where at least some events, far from being senseless accidents of history, are created by an infinite intelligence, which has imbued them with deeper meaning.

The meaning behind 9/11 is locked into the nest of cubes mysteriously encoded into the names of the 9/11 targets. These present a kind of multi-disciplinary puzzle, to be solved by finding the links the Puzzle Maker has forged between the numerico-geometric properties of the nest of cubes and a group of meaningfully related phrases. The first part of the solution is shown below. The overall context within which it can be understood is given by the number 9, the index of the largest cube, which in biblical numerics represents endings, finality, judgment, fruits and suffering.

The rest of the solution is shown in the pages The Crucifixion and The Day Of Atonement.



The 9/11 Cube

9/11 was the result of three strikes made by three hijacked airplanes on the WTC and the Pentagon. Likewise the nest of three cubes representing those targets can be ‘struck through’ three times to reveal the meaning behind 9/11. If we cut a cross-section through a cube, separating it into two equal half-cubes, then repeat this process in the other two spatial directions, we obtain the following figure:

Three Slices Through a Cube

I have coloured the three cross-sections so you can see how they intersect at the centre of the cube, and also so you can see that they look like a hexagram when viewed along an internal diagonal of the cube. (6)

A similar operation can be performed on cube 729, the three strikes this time being represented by three red bands, one unit thick, bisecting the cube in each spatial direction.

The 9/11 Cube

This cube embodies the essence of the 9/11 message. Notice that the three slices again produce the illusion of a hexagram and also delineate the innermost of the three nested cubes, cube 125, as shown below.

Cube 125 within Cube 729

The World Trade Centre and the Twin Towers

This brings us neatly to the next step in solving the puzzle: the removal of cube 125 from cube 729, to leave a hollow, two-layered shell.

........Cube of 729 Units...........Cube of 125 Units ..........Double Shell of 604 Units

...........................

125 is the ordinal value of ‘the Pentagon’, therefore 604 must be the sum of the ordinal values of the WTC and its two towers, the inner shell of this structure representing the WTC, the outer shell the twin towers:

The World Trade Centre + The North Tower + The South Tower (o)..= 604

However, 604 is also the standard value of these momentous words:

The Second Coming (s).......= 604

Before we solve the next part of this geometric puzzle lets look at the three structures that collapsed on 9/11.



The Three Collapses At The WTC

Three of the buildings making up the World Trade Centre collapsed on 9/11. These were: WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7. The chronological order in which the three buildings fell was as follows:

WTC 2 at 9:59AM, WTC 1 at 10:28AM, WTC 7 at 5:20PM

This ordering gives us the sequence 2, 1, 7 which implies the number 217.

I have found convincing evidence that the Bible appears to be structured so that the numbers 217 and 911 meet at two important points:

1. The Bible’s 217th verse is Genesis 9:11. This describes the making of a covenant between God and man.

Gen. 9:11 (NIV)
I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.

The reference to a covenant is of interest here, as in some theologies, the Second Coming is the ultimate fulfilment of the new covenant.

2. The Bible’s 911th chapter is Haggai 2, which begins as follows:

Hag. 2:1 (NIV)
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai.

From the ordinal ‘twenty-first’ followed by ‘seventh’ we can infer 217 once more. Haggai 2 is a prophecy of the restoration of the temple, which, in Christian theology, is also usually associated with the Second Coming.

I would propose that these ‘crossings’ of 911 and 217 are purposeful, rather than coincidental and that the purpose was to bring the number 217 to our attention. Why? Because it is built into the geometry of the 9/11 cube!

If we place a cube in a beam of light, orienting one of its internal diagonals in the direction of the beam, it will project the shadow of a regular hexagon onto a surface. (7)

A Cube Can Project the Shadow of a Regular Hexagon

If we do this with cube 729 it will project hexagon 217, also the ninth member of its numerical series. This projection is shown below.

...Cube 729 ....................projects ..................Hexagon 217

.......

The importance of the number 217 lies in the message it links to 9/11 through gematria:

Christ’s Second Coming (o) ...= 217

This is an ordinal value rather than a standard value, the latter being more convincing because they are shared by fewer words and phrases. However, as you will now witness, figure and phrase are also linked through their internal structures.

The rendering of cube 729 used for the above projection showed no internal structure, therefore none was visible on the projected hexagon. However, if we project the 9/11 cube onto a surface by shining a light through it - imagine it to be a made from glass marbles with the slices represented by coloured marbles - we will see internal structure within the projected hexagon. (8) The beautiful figure that results is illustrated below:

Cube 729 (Sliced) Projects Hexagon 217, with an internal Hexagram/Hexagon Pair

......

The hexagram/hexagon pair within hexagon 217 is a genuine product of this procedure. The pale red colour is caused by the light path passing through one red marble, the darker red is where the light path passes through two red marbles or a marble that stands at the intersection between two slices.

By counting the individual units in each of the three coloured zones of the projected figure we discover that these three numbers are the ordinal values of the individual words in the phrase ‘Christ’s Second Coming’!

Christ’s (o) = 96 = units in outer rhombii
Second (o) ..= 60 = units in outer triangles
Coming (o) .= 61 = units in inner hexagon

If we next subtract the six outer rhombii - equivalent to projecting the three cross-sectional slices within cube 729 - we are left with the figure that symbolises Jesus Christ, through its instantly recognisable form, and His return, through its structural properties. This is a Star of David with 121 units.

The Star Of David

Second Coming (o) ....= 121

Second (o) .= 60 = units in outer triangles
Coming (o) .= 61 = units in inner hexagon

The Star of David is formed from two intersecting triangles, representing the meeting of heaven and earth. The magnificent star above, shining from the heart of the 9/11 cube, delivers the breathtaking news that heaven and earth intersected on 9/11.

The Twin Towers and the Pentagon

In Signs Of The Times, I show some of the mountain of evidence that the twin towers were associated with the number 11 and the Pentagon with the number five, as well as visually depicting the numbers. These numbers are linked in two ways to the geometry of cube 729.

To show you the first link, I have to perform a second dismantling of cube 729. By subtracting the inner shell of 218 units from cube 729 we obtain two elements representing the Pentagon and the twin towers, the units in which sum to the significant number 511.

........Cube of 729 Units ......Inner Shell of 218 Units .....Remainder of 511 Units

.........................

The number 511 is the sum of the ordinal values for the three individual targets on 9/11:

The Pentagon (o) + The North Tower (o) + The South Tower (o) = 511

Like cube 729 and hexagon 217, 511 is linked to nine (the number of endings, finality and judgment), this time through number theory in mathematics. 511 is the ninth Mersenne number and consequently the sum of the first nine rows in Pascal’s Triangle. (9)

The second link to eleven and five is through hexagram 121, the figure that contains the essence of the meaning conveyed by 9/11. The number 121 has the notable property of being bifigurate, and can be rendered as the centred hexagram - as already shown - and also the square. These figures are the 5th and 11th members of their respective geometric series. 121 is the fifth hexagram and the 11th square, as shown in the following table.

The two figures are illustrated below:

Hexagram 121 ......................................Square 121

................

As this second illustration shows, 121 is the square of 11, the number clustered most strongly around the events of 9/11. So here is another connection to the number 121 - ordinal value of ‘Second Coming’ - through numbers encoded into the twin towers and the Pentagon, this time 11 and five, the numbers for which these structures were virtually pictograms.

As I showed above, hexagram 121 contains an internal hexagon (only 1 in 3 hexagons have this property). Similarly, square 121 contains an internal diamond (only the odd squares have this property). That makes 121 a interesting specimen amongst the figurate numbers. However, both internal figures require the same number of units - 61 - which is the ordinal value of ‘coming’. Therefore, astonishingly, both figures have internal properties that perfectly mirror the ordinal values of the words ‘Second’ and ‘Coming’!

Hexagram 121/Hexagon 61........................ Square 121/Diamond 61

...............

Second (o) = 60 = number of units in the six/four outer triangles
Coming (o) = 61 = number of units in internal hexagon/diamond

The stunning degree of coordination shown here between numerical values, geometric properties and symbolism is singularly appropriate for the message being conveyed. It is also further evidence of the workings of an infinite intelligence: the spellings of all the phrases to which the numerical properties of the encoded cube assuredly points must have been deliberately brought into alignment with those numbers over many centuries.



The Day of the Lord

In answer to those who feel that Jesus Christ could not be the guiding hand behind 9/11, I quote some passages from the New Testament, which plainly warned us that our Lord’s return would be a day of calamity. I will begin with the verse from which the above quotation was taken.

Matthew 24:30
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

Luke 17:26-27
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying “Peace and safety”, destruction will come on them suddenly, as labour pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

Revelation 19:11
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.



Summary

Encrypted within names, numbers and forms associated with the two structures at the heart of 9/11 is a multi-disciplinary puzzle, the solution to which provides a profound, disturbing and ultimately moving explanation for the carnage wrought on that day. September the 11th, 2001 was the prophesied final ‘day of the Lord’, when our world was called to judgment by Jesus Christ, who came “on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory” and destroyed the two most potent symbols of man’s sin.

In addition to containing direct prophecies of the Second Coming, the Bible is replete with other prophecies, visions, stories and histories that also resonate with the events of 9/11. One of the most important of these is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, its relationship to 9/11 being the subject of the next page.
