Could the Actual Numbers of the Bible's Isaiah 9:10 Prophecy have Meaning?

For the past few weeks we've been exploring the prophecy in the Bible verse Isaiah 9:10 and its connection to the events in America on 9/11. I can't help but notice the reference number of the Isaiah verse.

I don't know, it just seems to be shouting to me that 9:10 is a warning that came just before 9/11. What do you think? (Tweet that!)

How do you feel when you hear leaders who do not know God or do not respect or reverence Him enough to study His Word quoting the Bible? (Tweet that!) It makes me perk up. I don't know if I should be nervous or excited because I know God is paying attention. But at the very least it makes me pay attention. (Tweet that!)

Look at Tom Daschle using Isaiah 9:10 in his speech on 9/12. While Senator Daschle thought he was speaking profound words, God was speaking much more profoundly through this man. And Senator Daschle didn't even know it! (Tweet that!)


God was using these leaders. He was using them for His own purposes. Without their knowledge. Unwittingly. (Tweet that!)

And God was doing so in order to tell us something. (Tweet that!)

Only those who are tuned in will hear Him. Only those who are willing to look into it when we hear the Word of God being spoken – no matter who speaks it. (Tweet that!)

What can we learn? Here are a few thoughts:

  1. We must know the Bible. We need to recognize when someone is speaking from it. (Tweet that!)
  2. Then at the very least we must be willing to look into it when we hear someone quoting the Bible. We must be willing to check out the context. (Tweet that!) What is it really saying? Then, what is it saying in the context of the uninformed or ill-informed speaker?  
  3. We must be paying attention, engaged, listening. So many people seem to have tuned out. It's time to reengage. (Tweet that!)

Are you engaged? Listening? Checking out what is being said?

Who do you know who needs to be engaged? Could pointing them to this blog help?

The Third Witness: President Barack Obama Repeats Isaiah 9:10 Vow

In the April 30th post here, we witnessed U.S. Senator Tom Daschle quote the vow in Isaiah 9:10 on the floor of the United States Senate on September 12, 2001, the day after September 11th attacks. (Tweet that!)

Then in the May 2 post we saw U.S. Vice Presidential Candidate John Edwards repeat the Bible prophecy in Isaiah 9:10 on the third Anniversary of September 11, 2001. (Tweet that!) In fact, Mr. Edwards built his entire speech around that Bible verse.

The Bible does not recommend that there be only one witness in any matter. Instead it requires a minimum of two witnesses with three being even better. If U.S. Senate leader Tom Daschle was the first witness of America's defiance against God, and if U.S. Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards was the second witness, was there a third? (Tweet that!)

Remember that Isaiah 9:10 in essence refuses to admit that God is giving a warning and instead vows to rebuild and to emerge strong than before the attack. (Tweet that!)

One month after his first inauguration, President Obama appeared on Capitol Hill in the same place where Tom Daschle had spoken the day after 9/11. On February 24, 2009, after the American economic collapse, the President said: (Tweet that!)

But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken, though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, I want every American to know this: 
We will rebuild. 
We will recover. 
And the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.
