A few weeks ago, I published an article in which I shared a Bible code I recently discovered concerning Mohamed Atta—the hijacker pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 and ringleader of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In that article, I showed how an ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequence) search for the name “Mohamed Atta” in Hebrew, within the ELS range of 1–150,000, returns only one single hit in the Leningrad Codex—indicating that it appears only once in that version of the Hebrew Bible. I then demonstrated how this lone appearance just so happens to intersect on the computer-generated grid with Judges 9:51—a passage that describes the people of Israel fleeing for refuge in a strong tower within a city and ascending to the top of it. The following verse, Judges 9:52, recounts how a man named Abimelech approached the entrance of the tower to attack it and burn it with fire.
In light of the fact that the month of September is now upon us—and with the twenty-fourth anniversary of 9/11 breathing down our necks—I thought it fitting to keep the ball rolling and share another September 11 Bible code discovery I made a couple of years ago, on September 11, 2023. Whereas the Mohamed Atta Bible code identified the ringleader of the 9/11 attacks and foretold his assault on the North Tower, the 9/11 Bible code I am about to share foretells the duration of the attacks with eerie precision.
Timeline of the September 11th Attacks
The following is a detailed chronological timeline of the morning of September 11th from start to finish:
7:59 a.m. – American Airlines Flight 11 departs Logan International Airport in Boston for Los Angeles. 92 people aboard.
8:14 a.m. – United Airlines Flight 175 departs Logan Airport for Los Angeles with 65 aboard. At the same time, controllers receive the last routine transmission from Flight 11 before its cockpit is seized by hijackers.
8:19 a.m. – Flight attendant Betty Ong aboard Flight 11 calls American Airlines operations in Cary, North Carolina, reporting that the plane has likely been hijacked, passengers have been stabbed, and the cockpit is unresponsive.
8:20 a.m. – American Airlines Flight 77 departs Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C., bound for Los Angeles with 64 aboard.
8:24 a.m. – Hijacker Mohamed Atta, aboard Flight 11, accidentally broadcasts a message to Boston Air Traffic Control instead of passengers:
“We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you’ll be okay.”
8:33 a.m. – Atta again mistakenly transmits over radio:
“Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves you’ll endanger yourself and the airplane.”
8:37 a.m. – Boston controllers alert NORAD. F-15s are scrambled from Otis Air National Guard Base.
8:42 a.m. – United Airlines Flight 93 departs Newark, New Jersey, for San Francisco after a 42-minute delay. 44 aboard. At the same time, United 175 makes its last routine radio transmission before being overtaken by hijackers.
8:44 a.m. – Flight attendant Amy Sweeney on Flight 11 relays the hijackers’ seat numbers in a phone call to American Airlines staff in Boston.
8:46:40 a.m. – Flight 11 crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, striking floors 93–99 at 466 mph. The building is set ablaze instantly.
8:50–8:55 a.m. – News outlets initially report that a small plane may have hit the tower. Many assume it was an accident.
8:51 a.m. – Flight 77’s transponder signal is shut off, making the plane harder to track.
8:52 a.m. – On Flight 175, passengers Peter Hanson and Brian Sweeney make phone calls to loved ones reporting the hijacking and stabbings.
8:55 a.m. – White House officials begin to suspect terrorism.
8:59 a.m. – The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey orders both World Trade Center towers evacuated.
9:03:11 a.m. – Flight 175 crashes into the South Tower, striking floors 77–85 at nearly 590 mph. The second strike confirms a coordinated attack.
9:05 a.m. – President George W. Bush is informed while visiting a school in Sarasota, Florida: “A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.”
9:25 a.m. – The FAA halts all takeoffs nationwide.
9:28 a.m. – The cockpit voice recorder of Flight 93 picks up sounds of the hijackers forcing their way into the cockpit.
9:32 a.m. – A flight attendant on Flight 77, over the intercom, reports the cockpit has been seized.
9:37:46 a.m. – Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon, killing all 64 on board and 125 inside.
9:42 a.m. – The FAA orders all civilian aircraft in U.S. airspace to land immediately.
9:58 a.m. – On Flight 93, passengers—including Todd Beamer—prepare to storm the cockpit. Beamer recites the Lord’s Prayer, then says the famous words:
“Let’s roll.”
9:59:04 a.m. – The South Tower collapses after burning for 56 minutes. Lower Manhattan is engulfed in debris.
10:03:11 a.m. – Flight 93 crashes into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers fight back. Investigators conclude the hijackers intended to target the Capitol or White House.
10:07 a.m. – President Bush, now airborne aboard Air Force One, is informed of the Flight 93 crash.
10:28:22 a.m. – The North Tower collapses after 102 minutes of burning. The Twin Towers are gone.
In total, the entire duration of the attacks from start to finish was roughly two hours. Precisely how long they lasted depends on where one chooses to begin the count.
If you begin from the moment American Airlines Flight 11 first struck the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. and end with its collapse at 10:28 a.m., then the attacks lasted for one hour and forty-two minutes.
If, on the other hand, you begin from the moment American 11 was hijacked at 8:14 a.m. and end with the collapse of the North Tower at 10:28 a.m., then the entire coordinated assault of September 11 unfolded over the course of precisely two hours and fourteen minutes.1
Four planes were hijacked. Three were turned into weapons. Two skyscrapers fell.
And it all happened in just over two hours.
It is in light of this exact timeframe that we now turn to our promised presentation.
9/11 Bible Code
On the morning of September 11, 2023, I ran an ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequence) search for the phrase עוד שעתים (“in two hours”) across the Hebrew Bible using the Leningrad Codex. I set the search range to skips of 1–150,000 letters—well beyond the typical short-range window in order to capture any longer-distance encodings.
The software returned a total of three hits, indicating that the phrase “in two hours” occurs only three times in this particular manuscript of the Hebrew Bible within the specified range.2
As I began examining each of the grids, one in particular stood out. What I saw was so specific and topically aligned, that I immediately recognized it to be a genuine Bible code. The image below is an exact reconstruction of that matrix (The encoded phrase is highlighted in red; the primary line of topical correspondence is highlighted in blue):
As shown above, the encoded phrase appears at an ELS of every 80,672 letters. When dealing with letter skips of this magnitude, it’s inevitable that the encoded phrase will span across multiple books of the canon. In this case, each of the nine letters of our encoded phrase is found in a different biblical book—the phrase spanning across nine books in total.3 This of course makes any code found at such a distance even more miraculous–as only an all-knowing God with perfect, unlimited intelligence could be responsible for codes encrypted across multiple books of the canon.
Line of Topical Correspondence (Primary)
What makes this so extraordinary is where the code appears. One of the nine encoded letters lands directly adjacent to Isaiah 30:25—a verse that plainly reads:
“On the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.”
(Isaiah 30:25)
This is, without exaggeration, the most overt plain-text prophecy concerning the events of September 11 in the entire Bible. And here, encoded right alongside it, is the phrase “in two hours.” It is a cryptic declaration, embedded deliberately: a statement of duration, placed beside a statement of event. One declares what will happen, the other declares how long it will take.4
That this specific encoded phrase just so happens to travel across the Hebrew Bible, with one of its nine letters landing beside this specific verse—is no coincidence. The convergence forms a deliberate prophetic pairing: the plain text of Isaiah 30:25 speaks of what would occur, and the hidden text declares how long it would last.
Together they proclaim the central facts of the 9/11 attacks:
A day of great slaughter
- A day of great slaughter
- The falling of towers
- A sequence of events that would unfold within the space of two hours.
The details are too specific and too accurate to simply attribute to random coincidence. And there’s more.
Line of Topical Correspondence (Secondary)
In addition to occurring in close proximity to Isaiah 30:25 on the grid, one of the nine letters of the encoded phrase is also located in Judges 9:49 (highlighted in yellow on the matrix above). This is significant because it places the encoded phrase in direct proximity to Judges 9:51–52—the same passage that formed the primary line of topical correspondence in the Mohamed Atta Bible code I published a few weeks ago.
As some readers will recall, those verses describe the people of a besieged city fleeing into a strong tower and ascending to its upper levels for safety. In response, a man approaches the tower with the intent to burn it with fire. The parallel to the events of September 11 is difficult to overlook.
By intersecting both Isaiah 30:25 (which references “the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall”) and Judges 9:49–52 (which describes an attack on a tower full of people, with the intent to set it ablaze), this encoded phrase—“in two hours”—not only defines the duration of the attacks, but does so while embedded within two of the most prophetically charged tower-related passages in the entire Bible.
Conclusion: A Long-Distance ELS Bible code foretold the duration of the 9/11 attacks.
What are the odds that a nine-letter Hebrew phrase meaning “in two hours” would appear only three times in the entire Hebrew Bible? What are the odds that one of those encryptions would occur directly beside Isaiah 30:25 on the grid—a verse that speaks of a great slaughter and the falling of towers? What are the odds that this same encoded phrase would also intersect Judges 9:49, placing it in immediate proximity to a passage describing people ascending to the top of a strong tower, which is then attacked and set on fire? And what are the odds that the actual events of September 11, 2001 would unfold in precisely two hours and fourteen minutes, beginning with the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11 at 8:14 a.m. and ending with the collapse of the North Tower at 10:28 a.m?
Such convergence cannot be attributed to random chance. It bears all the marks of intelligent design. It is the unmistakable fingerprint of the one who declared through the prophet Isaiah, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:10). This Bible code, discovered on the twenty-second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, is no anomaly. It is yet another testimony—another watermark of divine authenticity—engraved upon the sacred text by the Spirit of prophecy himself. Like the Canonical Column, it stands as a witness to a truth that so many today would prefer to ignore—namely, that the Bible is not a product of human ingenuity or invention, but a divinely constructed document whose every letter, structure, and sequence was composed and ordained by God.
- I personally deem this to be the more accurate of the two durations, as we know that first-class passenger Daniel Lewin, as well as the pilot and co-pilot of American 11, were killed or incapacitated shortly after 8:14 a.m., when the hijacking began. Two flight attendants on that flight were also stabbed during this time. ↩︎
- The fact that the encoded phrase only appears a total of 3 times even within the range of 1-150,000 letter skips attests to the miniscule statistical probability of finding this nine-letter phrase encoded anywhere in the Hebrew Bible by chance. ↩︎
- The letters of this encoded phrase are found in the following verses: Psalm 122:1 (ע), Zechariah 6:3 (ו), Ezekiel 27:21 (ד), Jeremiah 29:24 (ש), Isaiah 30:26 (ע), 1 Kings 21:20 (ת), 2 Samuel 6:5 (י), Judges 9:49 (י), Deuteronomy 20:11 (ם). ↩︎
- That Isaiah 30:25 is referring to the 9/11 attacks is further reinforced by the testimony of the Canonical Column, in which Isaiah 30 corresponds to the book of Amos within the First Isaiah branch of theframework. As explained in a previous article, the book of Amos is saturated with prophetic imagery and dual-application warnings addressed to both the Northern Kingdom of Israel and, prophetically, the United States of America on the eve of 9/11. Consequently, Amos’ two witnessing chapters in the Canonical Column—Genesis 41 and Isaiah 30—have been divinely structured to mirror the content and imagery of the book of Amos itself, and therefore these also (like Amos) contain prophetic allusions to the events of September 11, 2001. I explore this more fully in the Amos Canonical Column installment. ↩︎
