That is of course an artistic interpretation of Zechariah 14:12:

> And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the
> people that have fought against Jerusalem;
> Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,
> and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
> and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

All around that and other apocalyptic texts are images
I say terminate on the event of the 9-11 WTC collapse:

> 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
> which is before Jerusalem on the east,
> and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east
> and toward the west,
> and there shall be a very great valley;
> and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north,
> and half of it toward the south.

> 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;
> for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:
> yea, ye shall flee,
> like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of
> Judah: and the LORD my God shall come,
> and all the saints with thee.

I especially savor the correspondences in 1 Enoch, of great
columns of fire descending to the abyss (or "without-base");
and the match for hurled and pointed stones, after the fall.

Of course earthquake is merely "shaking". But the key is to
see a skyscraper as a type of mountain, or from above, as a
pit. And the WTC was uniquely located: on an island, in a
river, on the sea, to satisfy so many prophecies all at once.

Either, we are now in the new epoch, or it was our bow shot.
