The Spiritual Truth about 9/11
September 11th (9/11) marks a day in history that is rather significant to the world, although, not for the right reason. It has become one of the most recognized and acknowledged days of our year, but memorialized and associated as a negative day. It is remembered as a day of violence, destruction, hurt, pain, death and terror. Leaving us a scar on our American pride.
It has become that every year on 9/11 we go on “high alert” as a Nation, wondering if we will be attacked again…
This article is not intended to discuss the potential cover up of what really happened on 9/11, but to look at the Biblical significance of such a date.
Why is September 11th such a significant day to attack our freedom?
What is the true spiritual significance of this day?
Four years before the infamous day in 2001, I became aware of some special knowledge. And I rejoiced at this privileged understanding that very few Christians knew, and certainly the world was oblivious to…
On the morning of September 11th 2001, I remember acknowledging God with thankfulness for the Truth that I knew regarding this day.
What is this Truth?
It is the birth date of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Following is a brief summation of truths and details supporting and Coinciding together to give an accurate picture of this reality.
Tradition has us celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25th. But this was a date that the Roman Catholic Church picked for his birth, admitting they really didn’t know when he was born… According to the Catholic encyclopedia, the day was chosen due to the relation to the pagan holiday celebrated on the winter solstice.
History of Christmas:
According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener, developed by B. Botte (Les Origines) and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian Calander and January 6 in the Egyptian) because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On December 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong in Rome. This theory finds support in some of the Church Fathers’ contrasting the birth of Christ and the winter solstice; indeed, from the beginning of the 3rd century “Sun of Justice” appears as a title of Christ (Botte, Les origines 63).
“Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church… The first evidence of the feast is from Egypt. Pagan customs centering around the January calends [the pagan calendar] gravitated to Christmas.”

Ed., article: “Christmas.”
“Christmas” is a man-made religious tradition, and is based on Paganism, NOT Truth. It is not the day Jesus Christ was born.
To find what we are looking for, we must look to the Bible. God’s Word gives us the Truth.
There is an accurate and precise knowledge called Truth, that “religion” seems to miss. And how we get to Truth is by study and research.
II Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
We “study” and we “rightly divide” the Word to get Truth.
To “rightly divide” in the Greek, means to “make a straight or right cutting”. It is to research it and put it together accurately. No guess work required. Study and research are required to get to Truth on matters of the Bible.
God’s Word contains “treasures” buried, that only serious students of Biblical research can find. This is one of those treasures!
Genesis 1:14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
“signs” (Hebrew) – To mark, and signify someone significant to come.
God in the beginning created the heavens and earth, and set in place and in motion the “lights” of the heaven (stars, planets, moon) to be “for signs” (knowledge) of something (or someone) significant to come…
The stars have meaning… they bring forth knowledge.
Psalm 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
God set perfect order and purpose in the Stars…
Our solar system is set with tremendous design and precision. It’s a perfect timepiece…and it presents knowledge to the world.
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament (universe) sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line (ecliptic) is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle (zodiac) for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat (sun) thereof.
Biblical Astronomy: The stars and planets in their courses give us a certain knowledge from God. The 12 main constellations of the zodiac tell a story. (not astrology) God’s plan of redemption for mankind. Jesus Christ as the subject, as “a strong man” running a race, the course is the path the sun travels in a year… night unto night, giving us a special knowledge…God’s Word written in the stars.
To understand the birthday of Jesus, we must look at the Written Word from the Bible and the Astronomical evidence (Word in the stars) that was announced in the heavens.
Matthew 1:18: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise (manner): When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
The “Wise men” were the Magi….they were educated Astronomers. They were of a religious sect of believers. They understood the significance of certain movements of the planets with different constellations. And they recognized that there was some astronomical significance to certain movements and alignments of the stars and planets…logically concluding that it was the birth announcement of the long awaited Messiah.
Here in the book Revelations, there is a figurative reference in Astronomical terms, setting forth certain events of the Kingdom of God, and giving us the month and day that Jesus was born.
Revelations 12: 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
The “great wonder” that appeared in the heavens was the birth announcement of God’s Son.
“wonder” in the Greek means: 1) a sign, mark, token; that by which a person or a thing is distinguished from others and is known; a sign, prodigy, portent, i.e. an unusual occurrence, transcending the common course of nature; of signs portending remarkable events soon to happen .
“a woman”- Virgo. One of the 12 main constellations of the zodiac. (also referring to the virgin Mary)
“clothed with the sun”- There are only about 20 days a year that the sun is in the constellation Virgo…in September!
And “the moon under her feet”…
Technology allows us to “turn back time” by looking at the placement of the stars and planets at any given time in their orbits and the earth’s position. If we turn back the timepiece at a planetary observatory, (or on our computer software program) there is only one day that the moon was in the constellation Virgo (“under her feet”) the year Jesus was born. And that is September 11th!
It is True, Jesus the Christ was born on September 11th….which was Tishri 1 on the Hebrew calendar.
It’s awesome to see the precision of God’s Word! And to know the truth on something that most are ignorant on.
So the Real Truth of September 11th is a treasure of knowledge that God put in the Stars, showing His handiwork. A masterpiece!
As the adversary directs the attention of this significant day to his work of destruction, and fear and terror…We believers can give God the glory because we now know the Truth!
Real Truth is 9/11 is the day our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born!
As we continue to live life here on planet earth, the stars and planets continue to show forth knowledge… Jesus Christ is coming back again one day, to gather his Church. Do the lights of the firmament hold the day and time of our Lord’s return? Will there be an Astronomical announcement?
