President Trump was shot at 6:11, Ephesians 6:11 says this.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Now does that really mean anything or a coincidence?

I just found it to be interesting is all.

Makes me wonder how much god played a part. I'm not saying trump was chosen by God, but God does tend to pick the imperfect to do his work because gods work is hard and it takes a hard man to do it.

perhaps "a wake up call".

2 Peter 3 "God is not willing for any to perish but rather for all to come to repentance" even though God knows that it is only the "few" of Matt 7 that will wake up and be saved.

What do you mean Trump was shot at 6:11

"Local law enforcement later told ABC News they had been alerted to suspicious activity in the area and were in the process of looking for a potential suspect.

6:11 p.m. Gunfire erupts​

"Trump was eight minutes into his speech when the shooting began, according to officials.

If one wishes to use time of injury as a sign for a scriptural reference let us at the very least interpret the message correctly and stick to the one verse in Ephesians 6:11.
It reads:

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Who are we Christian's warned against? "The wiles of the devil ". Who was shot ? The person delivering such wiles. This message is a waring to Christians.
My take if I must fall into such a tale.

Be blessed.

Christians are doing a poor job with the wrestle with flesh and blood part of scripture. While the powers to be manipulate us.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

I was thinking the other day that God may have very well used Judge Meachem to save Trump's life too. He refused to let Trump be gone from court and kept him from campaigning on court days. Less campaigning of course means less chance of anyone taking a shot. We should all send the Judge a thank you for protecting Trump.

Romans 8:28 (NASB)
28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
