Parallels Between the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11,
and the Two Towers that Fell
Two dates are given by the prophet Haggai concerning the rebuilding of the temple and "shaking of all nations." The first on Elul 24th, 520 BC (Hag. 1:15), and in the very next verse: Tishri 21, 520 BC (Hag. 2:1). Tishri 21st is the last of the 7 days of the feast of tabernacles.
Now it happens that exactly 1260 x 2 years from these two dates are when the Twin Towers fell (Kabul, Afghanistan time, i.e., ancient East Persia), and when the American's retaliated by bombing Kabul---exactly to the day both times. (Click here for confirmation of this. Kabul is 8½ hours ahead of New York, and evening would have occurred about 6:25 p.m.)
The bible code also addresses Persia by name. Persia conquered and annexed what is now modern-day Afghanistan about the same year that Haggai and Zechariah prophesied!
The NIV Study Bible notes that Haggai's prophecy initially applied to Alexander the Great when he defeating Persia, but that the NT applies it to Christ's second coming:
"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land,'" (Hag. 2:6).
NIVSB footnote reads:
"An announcement of the coming day of God's judgment on the nations---which the fall of Persia to Alexander the Great (333-330 B.C.) would foreshadow. Heb 12:26-27 relates this verse to the judgment of the nations at the second coming of Christ."{1}
The prophecy of Ezek. 31 is in agreement with all that was in this document.

One last thought: We explained how that the building of the temple of Zerubbabel was begun 1260 x 2 years ---to the very day---before Sept. 11, 2001. [The biblical period of "1260 x 2 days" [2,520 days] is the same as 7 years of 360 days in each year.]
However, a seven-year period using the Jewish lunar calendar can last 2,539 days. Amazingly, from the time of the fall of Babylon [and therefore, 'the writing on the palace wall'] in Oct. 539 BC, till when the writing on the wall was published as a code [less than 52 days before the Twin Tower disaster], are also 2,539 days of years!
Surely, it cannot be coincidence that Sept. 11, 2001 is the juncture of these two reckonings of a seven-year period! Keep in mind that a seven-year period is prophesied of in Daniel, and reiterated in the book of Revelation! Moreover, on the night of the writing on the wall, Daniel rebuked Belshazzar for not paying attention to the punishment inflicted upon his father [Nebachadnezzar] when he was sentenced to seven-years of madness! As a matter of fact, the account of Nebachadnezzar's seven-year madness [Daniel 4] sets the stage in the biblical narrative for "the writing on the wall" [Daniel 5]. Therefore, to have this code again deciphered and published [along with the picture-bible code of the hand writing on the wall] seven years of years later, is compelling evidence for its divine origin---and that, therefore, the Twin Tower Tragedy is a warning to America.
America---the writing is on the wall---again!

(Long after this article was written, 1260 days after 9/11, God allowed two great earthquakes to occur to further bring out the Two-Witnesses pattern. See those articles as well! See also Yasser Arafat, who died 1150 days after Twin Towers fell.)
Endnotes
1. Students of prophecy commonly consider the 7 days of tabernacles to be a type of the 7 years "tribulation period," (i.e., 1260 x 2 days.) Moreover, it is recorded in Ezra that 1260 days after the prophecy of Hag. 2:1 was the 7 days of Passover that they celebrated upon completion of the temple, (516 BC, Ezra 6:19-22). This is calculated by using the prophetic 360 days in a year. However, literally speaking there were 1263½ days---the number in Revelation 11:3 and verse 11, which concerns the two witnesses! Moreover, the total time from the start of the temple rebuilding (Hag. 1:15), to this same Passover (N.14 of Ezra 7:19) are 1290 actual days, (cf., Daniel 12:11).
For the sake of completion: Haggai's last recorded dates (Hag. 2:10, 20) both occurred 3 months after the Elul 24th date---that is, on Kislev 24, 520 BC. This happens to be the anniversary of the dedication of the temple in 165 BC---called "Chanukah,' when the prophecy of the "2300 evenings and mornings" (i.e., 1150 full days) was fulfilled, (Daniel 8:14). Now it happens that from the Kislev 24th prophecy, unto Adar 3rd, 516 BC, when the temple was completed, are exactly 1150 days! (Inclusive, and using the 360-days in a year, Ezra 6:15).
Will something else occur around Chanukah, AD 2001---1260 x 2 years after the prophecy, as it did on the other two dates of Haggai? We will have to wait and see. But be encouraged with these words from the book of Hebrews, said in regards to the prophecy of Haggai:
" See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire," (Heb. 12:25-29).
