  1. Date significance on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone know why the terrorists chose September 11? I haven't seen it discussed anywhere. I really don't think it is to do with the emergency phone number. I also don't think it had to be that day for logistical reasons. The date is likely to have religious significance. I have my own theory, Read verses "9-11" revelations chapter 14. http://www.awitness.org/biblehtm/re/re14.htm I'll summarise it. "Any who worship the beast will be tormented by fire...and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever" Now read this http://www.lis.net.au/~dbird/ifanyworshipbeast.htm Note that the website was created before 09/11/2001, it explains that "the land of the beast" can be interpreted as the USA. I just find this all too much of a coincidence. No other group of verses in the revelations fit as perfectly as 9-11. btw I am not religious at all I just decided to do some research into the significance of the date and came up with the above.

    It needs a fast PC though.
