After getting over the initial shock on Tuesday [9/11/2001] I had begun to question the Lord about the terrorist attack on the USA.  To my knowledge no prophet, including me, had prophesied about this specific event.  I wanted to know how this fits into the prophetic picture.

Early on the morning of September 13, about 2:00 a.m., God woke me out of my sleep and began to reveal to me a link between an event and prophecy that occurred years ago.  During this revelation in my spirit I had this feeling of dread on me.  I believe this was the dread referred to in the prophecy.  The revelation in my spirit went on for over an hour as God continually emphasised the facts over and over.

I had forgotten about this particular prophecy until the Lord reminded me of it that night.  Below is the prophecy that God referred to.

~ (Prophecy, #202); The Dread of the United States:  [Bombing of Iraq has severe U.S. Consequences]
- January 9, 1999.  A prophecy received by Thomas S. Gibson.

The great dread against the United States came in December of 1998 when they invaded Iraqi airspace to bomb Iraqi targets.  That dread upon the United States shall not leave until the United States has suffered a severe blow -- more than once, says the Lord.

[ Note: This attack occurred years after the January 1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm).  On Wednesday, December 16, 1998, this attack on Iraq was ordered by then President Clinton, presumably in an effort to derail the impeachment proceedings against himself.  The House of Representatives ignored this diversion and moved on Saturday, December 19, 1998, to indict President Clinton on two articles of impeachment.]

It was mainly that [Dec'98] attack [by the USA] that the terrorists used to justify their actions.
 
The Lord made it clear to me that He was not saying that Iraq was behind this: nor was the Lord saying that they were not.  He was not revealing to me who was behind it,
 
but that the [Dec'98] attack by the US spurred on the terrorists to take the action that they did.

this [WTC & Pentagon 9/11/01 strike] is the first major occurrence.

Many other occurrences will occur,
 

and all of this will lead to extreme trouble for the United States of America.
