I do not know as much about the Shemitah as I do 9/11 "in the Bible" so I will answer that first. Saying that 9/11 is mentioned in the Bible is a very common hoax that takes the scripture of out context. Taking the Bible out of context is very dangerous and changes the meaning dramatically. The verse you provided (Deut 28:43) to claim that it 9/11 is in the Bible. This is not at all what it is saying.

The context of the verse (the whole chapter) is God telling the Israelites what would happen if they obey him and what would happen if they disobey Him. To zoom out a bit first, the Book of Deuteronomy was written in Israel, as a reminder for the Israelites of the events. Deuteronomy is not a prophetic book, and as I mentioned early the book and the chapter was written specifically towards Israel, not the the United States.

The specific verse you are providing is referring specifically to Israel being conquered by foreign nations, if they disobey God. Both literally and metaphorically. Metaphorically the foreign captives Israel end up influencing them (especially when they began intermarrying) and leading them astray from God with their other religions. Literally this refers to the countless times when Israel gets taken over by another nation, most notably Babylon. To say this verse to has do anything with planes and hijacking and bombings is a bit of a stretch.

By saying this would be 9/11, this part of the Bible would've had to be written for the US. When it says "you" it means the Israelites, not Americans. Also about the Israelites coming down "low" means that they are under subjugation of foreign nation, it says or mentions nothing at all about towers or bombs or anything in that sort. To get even farther, further verses talk about a "nation" not a people group- but an entire country (Babylon). You are right that it is a prophecy though, but that is of Babylonian siege.

About Shemitah, Shemittah was a specific period that God had implemented within the Israelite government in order to pay off their debts and aid them in their economics. This is meant specifically for Israel, specifically at the time and nowhere in the Bible in context can it be applied to how it is in the chart given.

The lesson from this, I encourage you not to take everyone's word for it. There are many false prophets who twist God's Word and take it ot of context. If you hear anything in the Bible and have a doubt about it, go read it yourself. Not only read the verse or verses but read the entire chapter and have an understanding of what it is specifically referring to.
