The rubble then is the residue of human arrogance and defilement and sin that must be purged. And they will dwell in His presence forever and ever. And they will see His face and He will be their God. The building that He is building is called, in Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem, a Holy City, a combination of a spiritual and physical dwelling place where the eternal God, the Holy God, will dwell with His people, His cleansed people forever. I believe it also a physical Jerusalem as well. Biblically then the building site is ultimately the hearts of its people, the hearts of the people of God. It must be cleansed and then the building of God can be established. Across human history with the city that we know as Jerusalem and in our own individual hearts spiritually, until the wreckage that sin has left is removed the work of God cannot proceed. Without the clearing of that pile of smoldering rubble, the Freedom Tower, 1776 feet tall, could never be built.Īnd so it is also with the work of God in redemptive history. Now the clearing of ground zero in New York city was essential in order to go ahead with plans for building the proposed Freedom Tower in its place. It was draped in an American flag and recycled as the bow of the new San Antonio class amphibious assault ship, the USS New York, and the term pile was no longer used after this. The last piece of steel from the World Trade Center was removed from the site. On May 30 th, 2002, there was a significant ceremony. It was dubbed “the pile” by those who worked there. In the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, a huge pile of debris was left on ground zero - twisted steel, gutters, rubble and other wreckage which continued to smolder for five months after the attack.
