Most of us have seen pictures of former US President Donald Trump standing up with blood streaming from his ear after being struck in the ear by an assassin’s bullet while campaigning in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
The Bible tells us that “Certainly the Lord God does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret plan, to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7 NASV).
I don’t want to rehearse the number of failed prophecies concerning Trump’s re-election in 2020, but there seem to have been a couple of fairly accurate prophecies regarding this assassination attempt.
If these prophetic words are legit, it suggests God may be concerned about what is happening in the US politically.
Trump Assassination Prophecies
The two prophecies included one by JospehZ, a YouTube prophet, who earlier in the morning of the assassination attempt prophesied “…a shout, and like also going to begin to bring the shot heard around the world. I believe that is coming in a tremendous way.” He added that this “attack will turn to a comeback!“
While the prophecy was vague about an actual assassination attempt, the timing of this word and the phrase ‘shot heard around the world’ certainly described what took place later that day.
The second was given by Brandon Biggs on March 14, 2024, in an interview with Steve Cioccolanti & Discover Ministries posted on the ministry’s YouTube channel, Charisma News reports.
“I saw Trump rising up, and then I saw an attempt on his life,” Biggs stated.
“This bullet flew by his ear and it came so close to his head that it busted his drum, eardrum,” he added. “And I saw he fell to his knees during this time frame and he started worshiping the Lord. He got radically born again during this time frame. People say he’s saved now, but he becomes really on fire for Jesus for what I saw coming.”
While certain aspects of Biggs’ prophetic word seem accurate, some elements are uncertain. We all saw blood streaming from Trump’s ear, but I am not sure his eardrum was broken.
Secondly, Trump did fall to his knees after the shot was fired, but it was very brief. While the prophecy stated that he was worshiping God on his knees, it is uncertain what was going on in Trump’s heart during that moment.
But certainly, without the last-second movement of Trump’s head, as he turned to read a chart, he would have died.
In a statement released shortly after the failed attempt on Truth Social, Trump stated, “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.“
He downplayed it a bit in a later interview with the New York Post.
“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle,” Trump said.“I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead.”
“By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here,” Trump added.
Biblical examples of God’s involvement in world politics
We know from scripture that God was not only directly involved in Israeli politics, but as well the politics of other countries.
We see it when God raised up King Cyrus of Persia, who is described as Jehovah’s servant (Isaiah 45:13-15). King Cyrus would ultimately allow Israel to return to the Promised Land after 70 years in captivity.
We also see God involved when an angel of the Lord struck down King Herod of Agrippa (Acts 12:23), He was the grandson of Herod the Great of the nativity story.
Herod of Agrippa was involved in a heavy persecution of the early church. He had already ordered the execution of James, the brother of John, and had arrested Peter, probably intending to execute him as well (Acts 12:1-3). God may have directly intervened to derail this persecution of the early church while it was in its infancy stage.
