Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."
The collapse of a crane at the Grand Mosque in Mecca on 9/11 is being called an “act of God” by local officials and engineers.
The crane, owned by the Bin Laden family, collapsed Friday killing 107 people just before the start of the annual hajj pilgrimage. Hundreds were left severely wounded by the collapse.
Witnesses said the giant polished white floor of the mosque turned red from the blood of all the victims.
The Saudi Arabia civil defense directorate said that a rainstorm with very high winds swept into the city on 9/11 and toppled the giant red and white crane. The crane then fell into the court of the mosque.
The Saudi Binladin Group (SBG) reported the project had been on that site for almost four years without any problems taking place.
“It was not a technical issue at all. I can only say that what happened was beyond the power of humans. It was an act of God and, to my knowledge, there was no human fault in it at all,” an engineer for SBG told reporters.
He said the crane’s heavy hook began to swing in the storm and then caused the collapse.
Four years with no problems and then on 9/11 anniversary, an ‘act of God’. God is sovereign; when He speaks it is impossible not to listen.
