What does "911" mean (not Sept. 11/01 or the emergency phone #)?

Question

Ever since I was 11 I see the numbers 911 everywhere. Almost everytime I look at a clock its says 9:11. Clocks have stopped in my house and other peoples houses and it notice it says 9:11. I amost never notice license plates unless they have the numbers 911. A lot of times when I go to the store my purchaes come to $9.11. I have no idea what it means but it's been going on for 10 years. I'm not supersticious but was wondering ppls ideas?

Answer 1

It just one of those things you are sensitive too. You have trained yourself to look for that number weither you want too or not. I have the same thing happen to me, but my number is 210. Don't know why its always there. Just one of those things that makes you who you are.

9-1-1 Emergency Telephone Number Day
9-1-1 Emergency Telephone Number Day was proclaimed, by President Reagan in 1987, to occur on the 11th day of September, the ninth month, of that year. The proclamation was made to promote the North American universal emergency telephone number 9-1-1.

Until 2001, September 11 was celebrated by many United States communities as "9-1-1 emergency number day" or simply "911 day". The promotional effort was often led by firefighters and the police. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the reminders of 9-1-1 were merged with or dropped in favor of remembrance of the attacks.

Another way of recognizing the efforts of the people involved in 9-1-1, and Public Safety Communications in-general, is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week (or as it is commonly called: Dispatchers' Week).

[edit]
September 11
When the 9-1-1 system was originally introduced, it was advertised as the "nine-eleven" service. This was changed when some panicked individuals tried to find the "eleven" key on their telephones (this may seem bizarre and amusing, but it is important to remember that in emergencies people can easily become extremely confused and irrational). Therefore, all references to the telephone number 9-1-1 are now always made as nine-one-one — never as "nine-eleven."

Some newspapers and other media require that references to the phone number be formatted as 9-1-1; nine-eleven is rarely used since the term came to refer to the September 11 attacks in the United States, as the American date format writes the month before the day. It is advised that members of the media or other persons writing or speaking of the events of September 11, 2001 should never refer to those events as nine-one-one as this causes even more confusion.

Answer 3

Part of it, I'd guess, is that we're trained to remember the numbers 9-1-1 in that order. When we see 9-2-2 it doesn't really register in our minds. I've noticed that I also look at the clock & it says 11 minutes past the hour frequently. My wife pointed out that most TV shows take their first commercial break then & when I started checking it, she was right. As far as clocks stopping then, I haven't had that happen to me. Yet!

Answer 4

Don't you think that it's interesting where our Bible verse is found today? Psalm 91, verse 1! That's 911! Just as you would dial 911 on your telephone in case of an emergency, you can also call 911 in the Bible for an emergency too. (Although God would want you to call on Him all the time, not just in emergencies.)

Let's take another look at Psalm 91:1: "…Live in God's shadow…" Now what do you think that means?

Well, what do you think of, when you see a shadow? If you go outside and stand in the bright afternoon sun, you will see your shadow. Your shadow is kind of a reflection or "copy" of yourself.

You can't be separated from your shadow. Your shadow will always be right next to you, to follow you wherever you go. If you go for a walk, your shadow will walk. If you jump, your shadow jumps. And if you run, your shadow runs.

The Bible tells us to live in the shadow of God. Remember, a shadow cannot be separated from the person it belongs to. Really, they are one. So when the Bible commands us to live in the shadow of God, it really is telling us that we should be one with Him. When God moves, we move. If God stops, we stop.

So I believe that the Lord God has been speaking to you through all these things, so I will pray for you, you make sure you cover yourself in the shadow of our Lord.

God Bless

Answer 5

You will probably think I am crazy & some others may also but that does not bother me right now. You asked a question, so now I am going to give you what I believe is going on.

PSALM 91:1>>He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall ABIDE UNDER the SHADOW of the Almighty.

JOB 9:11>>LO, HE GOETH BY ME, AND I SEE HIM NOT; HE PASSETH ON ALSO, BUT I PERCEIVE HIM NOT.

Answer 6

If you look for a number to be everywhere, you'll find it somehow. Really, it's a matter of chance. I just looked at the clock and it said "12:03", and the other day it was "3:03". It's just a coincidence.

Answer 7

maybe it's just the fact that it DOES represent sept 11 and that there is an emergency and so you tend to notice it more. i think that you see 9:11 on your clocks a lot is just coincidence.

Answer 8

yep, same thing happens to me, but its 3:33.

Maybe there is some cosmic reason for it, which would be cool. When you figure it out, lemme know.

Answer 9

you just dont notice other numbers.

Answer 10

i dont know thats a great question
