Good revelation. Some will say it's a coincidence. I think not.

As I've tried to tell you before, this entire chapter deals with Egypt, not America.
You CANNOT take a partial verse, isolate it, and come to a valid conclusion. This has lead you into scriptural error.
Ask yourself this: were there on "every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters" when 9/11 happened? No. Therefore, this reference does not pertain to 9/11.
Honestly, you're making me cranky.
Here's Matthew Henry's commentary:
"The prophecy of this chapter seems to relate (as that in the foregoing chapter) to the approaching danger of Jerusalem and desolations of Judah by Sennacherib’s invasion. Here is, I. A just reproof to those who, in that distress, trusted to the Egyptians for help, and were all in a hurry to fetch succors from Egypt (v. 1-7). II. A terrible threatening against those who slighted the good advice which God by his prophets gave them for the repose of their minds in that distress, assuring them that whatever became of others the judgment would certainly overtake them (v. 8–17). III. A gracious promise to those who trusted in God, that they should not only see through the trouble, but should see happy days after it, times of joy and reformation, plenty of the means of grace, and therewith plenty of outward good things and increasing joys and triumphs (v. 18–26), and many of these promises are very applicable to gospel grace. IV. A prophecy of the total rout and ruin of the Assyrian army, which should be an occasion of great joy and an introduction to those happy times (v. 27–33).
4. Even the tops of the mountains, that used to be barren, shall be so well watered with the rain of heaven that there shall be rivers and streams there, and running down thence to the valleys (v. 25), and this in the day of the great slaughter that should be made by the angel in the camp of the Assyrians, when the towers and batteries they had erected for the carrying on of the siege of Jerusalem, the army being slain, should fall of course. It is probable that this was fulfilled in the letter of it, and that about the same time that that army was cut off there were extraordinary rains in mercy to the land."
I hope this clarifies things once and for all! My goodness!

That is taken out of context. The context of the whole chapter is speaking of Israel.

I totally thought this was going to be a miscategorized LOTR question.
