Hello Mike!

Hope you are well and your family and friends. About 6 years ago, I read comments by someone concerning Isa 30:25 that the “Towers fall” were the World Trade Center, but I disagree with that. It has nothing to do with 9/11 World Trade Center. Am I correct? I admit, I don’t understand what Isa 30:25 means, but I don’t think it’s connected to WTC. If you understand what it means, maybe you can help me understand if God so wills?

Thank you for your web site of Is, Was, and Will Be.

Hi B____,
It is always good to hear from you!

You are exactly right. Isa 30:25 has not more to do with the WTC than it has to do with the fall of the tower of Siloam.

Luk 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

What Christ says here is just as applicable to anyone who thinks that Isa 30:25 refers to the WTC, as it was to anyone who thought that Isa 30:25 referred to the Tower of Siloam.
You ask what it really refers to. What that prophecy, and all such dire predictions, always refer to is the high and exalted thoughts in the heavens of our minds and hearts, which exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. That is the spiritual meaning of ‘towers falling’.

2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Whether it is towers, kingdoms, principalities or the beast, if and when we think of any of these things outwardly, we are losing any personal benefit to be gained from these fiery words, and we are placing their purifying effects upon someone else, somewhere in the future or the past, or upon some up there in New York City, or over there in Jerusalem. All the while, there is a beast, a man of sin, sitting in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God, and when you place any word of God off on others like that, then those words do you no good. They will become personally applicable to all in the lake of fire, where their fiery character will finally do the work it is sent to do.

Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Our innate desire to place all the prophecies concerning the fall of our old “man of sin” upon someone else and not upon ourselves, is just an “idol of our heart” (Eze 14:1-9), and it is but one of the “towers” spoken of in Isa 30:25, which must be brought down and destroyed.

Isa 30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Here again is some of those “rivers and streams of water” which will accomplish this prophecy and bring down those “towers”.

2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

I hope this helps you to see more clearly that the “towers”, are the “high things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God”.
Your brother in Christ,
Mike
