At first thought, I thought it would be impossible, we already had a Pearl Harbor. So I put it to the back of my mind and never pondered much on it.\u00a0 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0In July of 2001, I was faced with a difficult decision on whether to re-enlist in the Navy or to get out. My decision was final by the second week of August of 2001: I planned to stay in the Navy. At this point, my dad, who is all gung-ho for the military, was telling me to get out. From July till 9-11 he was waking up at 3 a.m. every morning with the sweats and with an urgency to pray. I found all of this quite strange and thought that maybe he was losing his marbles. So all&#8217;s I thought of doing was to just humor him and put it in the back of my mind. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Well, when you re-enlist in the military you have to pick a date of when you want to re-enlistment. I knew that September 17 was the end of my current re-enlistment, so I set the date for September 12th. All the while my dad kept telling me to get out of the service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">He told me that he felt something very bad was going to happen and he felt that it was going to happen in New York, a possible attack. At this point I didn&#8217;t know what to think. In the meantime my wife was supporting me to stay in. Then September 11th happened, at this time I was over by the Sandy Hook area on the military base. I heard the rumbling from where we were and witnessed everything as it unfolded on TV. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Now my father was silent on the choice that I would have to make, and the wife, well she wanted me out&#8230;go figure! As for me, I knew the paperwork was ready so I went through with it and re-enlisted as scheduled. Normally re-enlistments are supposed to be happy, but I only found out that this time all of that has changed and it was tough to hold back the tears during the ceremony. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As time went on, soon after that, <a href=\"http:\/\/spiritdaily.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><i>Spirit Daily<\/i><\/span><\/a> along with a whole host of people were spreading the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Revelation_18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Revelation 18<\/span><\/a> all over the place. I found that strikingly on the money in a lot of aspects and yet some things not yet fulfilled. About one week after the events, I could do nothing but contemplate the events of that day and those who died. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Then something hit me, kind of out of no where. As I remembered how the towers once stood, the <i>Book of Daniel <\/i>came to mind and I thought of the statue that Daniel interpreted for the king, that each part of the body on this huge statue was an empire, seemed to stick out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">When reading the description of the &#8220;Legs of Iron&#8221; it seemed to say the United States&#8230; the Twin Towers, as if the events of 9-11 were to serve as a warning that we were somehow going to diminish in power and share power with another superpower&#8230; hence &#8220;the feet of part iron and part clay.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Again I put this in the back of my head trying to ponder what to make of it. Is this mere coincidence or and over-imagination? It just seems that the more I read the more that seems to make sense. I thought that this was worth sharing.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Thank you so much for your time.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><br \/>\nSincerely,<br \/>\nKen Leahey Jr., USN<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"archives,mail\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1498070160\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Navy Man Recounts Prediction By Esperanza And His Father\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from\u00a0spiritdaily.com Navy Man Recounts Prediction By Esperanza And His Father (From the Mailbag) Dear Michael Brown, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My dad and I.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[108,148],"tags":[427,496,621,568],"class_list":{"0":"post-8525","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-archives","7":"category-mail","8":"tag-archives","9":"tag-mail","10":"tag-mail-archives","11":"tag-mailbag","12":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
