The Mystery of the Shemitah Ch. 19 – The Mystery of the Towers


What is the connection between the mystery of the Shemitah and that of the towers – and what is its meaning?

For the answer we must return to the ancient vow spoken after the attack on the land, Israel’s first massive warning of coming judgment. Here now is the context of that vow:

          The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. All the people will know –         

          Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria – who say in pride and arrogance of heart: “The

          bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stones…”

The vow is introduced with the words: “Who see in pride and arrogance of heart…” What does this have to do with the mystery of the towers? The connection isn’t visible in English. But it appears in the original Hebrew.

In the original language the word translated as “arrogance” is the Hebrew word gadel . We have seen this word before. Gadal is the same word from which we get migdal, the Hebrew word for tower. Likewise, the word gadal not only speaks at magnitude, enlargement, and greatness, but also of arrogance, boasting, and pride. So a tower can symbolize a civilization’s magnitude, enlargement, and greatness – but it can also symbolizes arrogance, it’s boasting, and it’s pride.in

This is doubly striking since the mystery of The Harbinger connects the ancient vow of Isaiah 9:10, spoken in the wake of the ancient attack, with the destruction of the towers in the attack on 9/11. And in the original Hebrew the word describing the arrogance in which the vow is spoken is linked to the Hebrew word for tower – the very object destroyed on 9/11.

The Mystery of the Shemitah, Ch. 23 – The Last Tower


The destruction of the twin towers was not the end in the mystery of the towers. There would be another. It would rise up from the site on which the twin towers had been struck down – Ground Zero. It would become a symbol of the rebuilding of America in the wake of 9/11. American leaders would speak of it even before it came into existence and then, as it rose, hail its rising as a symbol of the nations pride and resilience.

And yet behind its rising lay an ancient mystery.

In the face of the enemy attack that involved the destruction of buildings and the first warning of national judgment – the people of Israel responded with defiance. They issued their fateful vow:

“The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stones…” Isaiah 9:10

They would defy the warning given them. They would rebuild that which had collapsed into ruins on the day of terror. The rebuilding would be an act of defiance. They would rebuild their fallen buildings bigger, stronger, better, and higher than before. It wasn’t the rebuilding that was wrong, but the intent behind it. They would not listen to God’s warning but would defy it. And that which they would erect would stand as a monument, not of the resurgence, but of their defiance – a defiance that would ultimately lead to their destruction.
