was a sign that this nation is not following God’s laws for mankind. It has become a desire for men and women
to disobey God. It seems to be the given right of freedom to live against God’s laws as long they obey the laws
of the land. There is no fear of God. It is scripture that tells us that our pride will bring us low. This seems to

parallel what the U.S. congressional official did after 9/11 in their speeches.

Proverbs 29:23 “A man’s pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.” 105

How does one know the destruction of the Twin Towers is from God unless we look to the heavens? It is
another way to confirm the event through the heavenly signs. It is in Genesis that God explains why the heavens
were made. This is in the context of God’s creative acts and the very beginning of this visible universe. It makes
the statement the heavens were created “for signs and for seasons.”

Genesis 1:14-15 “Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day
from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for
105
lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth” and it was so.”
Heavenly Sign – Leo the Lion

The sun, moon and stars, which include planets, were in the divine scheme of things, intended to be “for signs and
for seasons.” The heavenly sign occurs after the Twin Towers terrorist event with the Constellation of Leo
surrounding the moon and the sun (see page 62). We will take a look at the Constellation of Leo which was
called the “Great Lion” in Babylonian times. Leo is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Its name in Latin is the
lion and its symbol is . Leo lies between the Constellations of Cancer to the west and Virgo to the East.
