The symbols of the beast which will rise up out of the sea (a trident) and the beast which will rise up out of the earth (two horns) can be found in many places. For example, they were present at the original World Trade Center site. The twin towers represented the two horns:


and the facade on the ground floors of the buildings consisted of tridents on all four sides of both towers:


Does this mean the World Trade Center inherently represented evil? No, but good and evil are present all around us; they encourage and tempt, and we make the choice.

Is world trade in the context of neoliberalism good for the people of the world? We seem to think it is; obviously the attackers of 9 11 thought otherwise.
