In 1968, 9-1-1 became the national emergency number for the United States and in 1972 for Canada and other countries. In theory at least, calling this single number provided a caller access to police, fire and ambulance services. In theory. A recent article revealed when dialing 911 you will not always get the response needed to help you in an emergency situation. Though not a perfect system, it is one we rely on in trouble. But where can you turn when you need access to a greater Help? When you turn to books of the Bible that have chapters 9 and verses 11, you will find God's promises, protection, deliverance, guidance, healing, security, truth and even warnings. It is worth knowing these numbers.
Genesis 9:11 "I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."
Deuteronomy 9:11 "And at the end of forty days and forty nights the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant."
Nehemiah 9:11 "YOU divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into might waters."
Job 9:11 "When He passes me, I cannot see Him; when He goes by, I cannot perceive Him."
Psalm 9:11 "Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what He has done."
Psalm 91:1 "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
Proverbs 9:11 "Through Me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life."
Isaiah 9:11 "For the LORD has strengthened..."
Daniel 9:11 "All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey You. Therefore the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You."
Amos 9:11 "In that day I will restore David's fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be."
Zechariah 9:11 "As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit."
Luke 9:11 "HE welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing."
John 9:11 "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. HE told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."
Acts 9:11 "The LORD told him, "Go..."
Romans 9:11 "Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad-in order that God's purpose in election might stand...not by works but by HIM who calls"
Hebrews 9:11 "When Messiah came as high priest of the good things that are already here, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation."
Revelation 9:11 "They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon." (In the Hebrew scriptures, Abaddon comes to mean "place of destruction," or the realm of the dead, and is associated with Sheol)
I believe this last 9:11 verse found in the last book of the bible is a final warning for those who refuse to receive the help God has brought to us now in Jesus. To those who don't recognize the God of Israel's Messiah as King, Savior, and Lord, who is able to rescue us from all trial - they will instead chose to have the king of Sheol or death over them.
Not calling on God in our trial is like refusing to dial 911 because unbelief gets in the way. Utter foolishness! The telephone system is designed to help - even if on occasion it proves faulty. But remember, God set up a system to help us that trumps all others. His system is perfect, and by His Word He always answers your call.
