The 911 2001 Terrorist Attack and the Predictive Aspect of Inspired Sources (Post 74. CVIIC7S8)

The discovery that some inspired sources have a predictive aspect gives inspired sources a new significance.  This discovery seems to confirm that inspired sources are inspired by a spiritual being, who is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.  In The Creation, this spiritual being is referred to as the Creator. 

In the past, prophets and seers of the Bible foretold the future (1 Ki. 18:41-46; Jer. 25:11-12), and, according to the Bible (Mal. 4:5-6; Rev. 11:3-14), in the day of the Lord, they will do so again.  In the Scriptures, we find that those prophets whose predictions came true were viewed as true prophets sent by God.  And those prophets whose predictions did not come true were viewed as false prophets sent by Satan.  Because the predictions revealed in the inspired source, “Lascaux Cave Artist” (Figure 20), have already taken place, and have been found to be true, the latter can be considered an inspired source that is inspired by the Creator.  Likewise, the predictive aspect present in this inspired source must be true light originating from the Creator, and not false light originating from Satan.

 

Nevertheless, one must ask:  Why did the Creator produce an inspired source thirteen years before the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 took place, but did not reveal this inspired source to man, nor the meaning of its symbolism, until several years following the attack?  The answer to this question is one that man may never know, and one that, in its entirety, can be known only by the Creator.  Since this is the view taken in The Creation, discussion concerning this matter will end here.  However, Isa. 45:7 may be of interest in this context.  It reads:

                           7  I form the light, and create darkness:
                            I make peace, and create evil:  I the 
                            LORD do all these things.

Finally, in a more secular vein, if man begins to discover other inspired sources in which the symbolism has a predictive aspect to it, and the events predicted are still future, man's response to this foreknowledge may allow him to be more effective in shaping his future and destiny.  This, of course, means a future and destiny that, ultimately, is still guided and directed by the Creator.
