Also, September 11, 2001 .... 9+11+2+1 = 23

The most startling discovery was a book written in 1981, 20 years prior to the 2001 attacks, called "The
Birth of Christ Recalculated". The author, Dr. Ernest L. Martin, claims to have calculated the exact date of Jesus
Christ's birth based on the celestial charts for that era. The date of Christ's birth, based on the famous Star of
Bethlehem, is calculated to be September 11, 3 B.C.. Dr. Martin's findings have been accepted by many
scholars, theologians, historians, and astronomers. We also note that Jesus Christ has 11 letters. The crosses
found standing in the ruins of the WTC, and the dominance of the number 11 in the 9-11 events,
make this combination even more mysterious.

There is another significant religious event occurring about 2000 years later on September 11, 1999.
According to Hebrew scriptures September 11, 1999 was the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation, and
year 1 on the Hebrew calendar.

Most other historic events between those 2,002 years (3 B.C. -1999 A.D.) involve either war or violence.

Both the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon have September 11th in
their history. On September 11, 1609
the explorer Henry Hudson sailed into
New York harbor and discovers
Manhattan Island and the Hudson River.



On September 11, 1941 construction
officially begins at the Pentagon.



Other events that appear to have uncanny similar timing in relation to the 9-11-2001 attacks were the 1972
Olympics, and President Bush's 1990 Gulf War Speech.

The world was introduced to terrorism at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. These games ended on September
11, 1972. There were 121 participating countries (11X11=121), and 11 Israeli athletes were killed. Exactly 29
years (2+9=11) after this terrorist horror ended, another more despicable horror occurred - the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks.

On September 11, 1990 President George Bush (Sr.) made a dramatic speech to Congress, outlining the US
position in the Kuwait crisis, and the preliminary steps the US was taking towards the Gulf War. Exactly
11 years later, on September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America.

There is another oddity we noted in our research. On September 11, 1772, about 300 Indians and 50 British
soldiers began the siege of Fort Henry. This would be the last battle of the American Revolution. Researchers
and historians of this siege are puzzled by the meaning of a comment in a document describing these events.
It was recorded in a letter written by Lydia Cruger (11 letters), and it seems a fitting comment to this
section. She wrote, "The siege commenced about sun an hour high, Monday, 11th, at all events, the 11th."

September 11th plays a key role throughout early American history including a failed peace conference with
the British on September 11, 1776, and the first day the American flag was used in battle at the
Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777.

Following are the significant events of September 11 throughout history.

Many biblical scholars, theologians,
historians, and astronomers say that the
Star of Bethlehem, signifying the birth of
Jesus Christ, can be calculated to within a
few hours of September 11, 3 B.C., based
on celestial charts and alignments for that
time. Historian Dr. Ernest L. Martin first
article on the subject appeared in 1976,
and in 1981 he published his research in
"The Birth of Christ Recalculated". In 1991,
the book was re-released as "The Star that
Astonished the World." Dr. Martin revealed
in his book, that the signs in the sky on
the night of Jesus' birth occurred on only
one day in 3 B.C., and they occurred
exactly on September 11, 3 B.C. between
6:15 pm and 7:49 pm EST.

Sept. 11, 1297
William Wallace leads over 15,000 Scottish soldiers
to victory over the English Army at the Battle of
Stirling Bridge. Battle depicted in the film Braveheart.

Sept. 11, 1499
French forces take Milan, Italy, with little
opposition. At that time Italy was comprised
of regions with city states.

Sept. 11, 1609
Henry Hudson sails into New York harbor and
discovers Manhattan Island and the mouth of the
river later named in his honor - the Hudson River.

Sept. 11, 1709/Sept. 11, 1714
The Spanish War of Succession (1702-14) represents
the first European war of the Modern Era. On
September 11, 1709 an Anglo-Dutch-Austrian force
defeat the French in the Battle of Malplaquet, and
on September 11, 1714, after 13 months of siege,
Spanish and French troops broke into Barcelona,
ending Catalonia's sovereignty.

Sept. 11, 1776
After the fall of New York to the British, a Peace
Conference was held between General Howe and three
prominent representatives of the Continental Congress -
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Edward Rutledge.
After taking the Americans key city, Howe thought he
was entitled to a peace settlement. The Americans,
having declared independence in July, considered
separation from England as non-negotiable. The
conference of Sept. 11, 1776, ended and the war
continued for seven years.







Sept. 11, 1777
The British defeat the Americans, led by George
Washington, at the Battle of Brandywine Creek in the
American War of Independence. The battle is regarded
as the first where Americans carried the American Flag
(Old Glory) to battle.


Sept. 11, 1782
The siege of Fort Henry begins, and becomes the last
battle of the American Revolution.

Sept. 11, 1814
The American navy defeat the British in the Battle of
Lake Champlain in the War of 1812.

Sept. 11, 1855
The siege of Sevastopol ends when British, French,
and Piedmontese troops capture the main naval base
of the Russian Black fleet in the Crimean War.

Sept. 11, 1922
Despite Arab protests, a British mandate is
proclaimed in Palestine on September 11, 1922.
The mandate came into effect at the end of
September 1922.

Sept. 11, 1941
Construction of the Pentagon began on this day in 1941.
The purpose was to provide a temporary solution to the
War Department’s critical shortage of space. The ground
breaking ceremony also took place on September 11, 1941.

Sixty years later, to the day, the Pentagon is attacked
for the first time in it's history on Sept. 11, 2001.

Sept. 11, 1944
President Roosevelt, British PM Winston Churchill, and
Canadian PM Mackenzie King meet in Canada, at the
Quebec Conference. Also, the US 1st Army crosses the
border into German territory.

Sept. 11, 1948
Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the first head of state for Pakistan
dies in Karachi. He is called "The Great Leader" and "Father
of the Nation". Born on Christmas Day, 1876, he is
schooled in London and later returns to build the nation
of Pakistan. Jinnah, a Muslim, was a strong advocate for
Muslim - Hindu unity.

Sept. 11, 1972
The troubled Munich Olympic Games end on September
11, 1972 and the world witnesses the beginnings of
terrorism. Eleven Israelis are killed by terrorists.

Sept. 11, 1973
Chilean President Salvador Allende is killed in a violent
military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet.



Sept. 11, 1990
U.S. President George Bush addresses Congress on the
Persian Gulf crisis, vowing that "Sadam Hussein will fail" in
his takeover of Kuwait. Eleven years later, to the day, his
son George W. Bush, would face an even greater challenge.

Sept. 11, 1999
The Jewish calendar is 6,000 years old. September 11,
1999 is regarded as the 6,000th anniversary of
Adam's creation. September 11th is recognized by
many faiths as the end of a major cycle.

Sept. 11, 2001
Terrorists with connections to Osama bin Laden
hijack four aircraft. Two are crashed into the World
Trade Center towers in New York, collapsing both
towers. Another plane is crashed into the Pentagon
in Washington, collapsing one side. The fourth plane
crashes in a Pennsylvania field. The death toll
exceeds 3,000 lives. U.S. President George W.
Bush responds with a global attack on terrorism.

23 is the Bible number of DEATH. The word DEATH appears 138 (23 x 6) times in the KJV Bible New Testament. The first "DEATH" word in the Bible is in Genesis 21:16, 2116 = 23 x 92 and 92 = 23 x 4.



In A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, Sydney Carton is the 23rd person be beheaded by the guillotine

The Titanic broke in half at 2:21 a.m. 2 and 2+1 can be 23

I saw it at the theatre last Saturday. It was decent. Jim Carrey's performance and the twist ending were the highlights.
