In March, Briggs, during an interview with Steve Cioccolanti & Discover Ministries, said God gave him specific chilling details about the assassination attempt on Trump’s life as well as a dark time that would come with his presidency.

“I saw a red wave coming out of Michigan and then I saw Oklahoma, and there were embers of people and … they had torches all throughout Oklahoma. And they were raising up these torches that looked like fire and they were bringing forth a new patriotism upon the nation … and it just kept spreading like fire all throughout America,” Briggs said.

“And I saw Trump rising up, and then I saw [an] attempt on his life, that this bullet flew by his ear. And it came so close to his head that it busted his … eardrum,” Briggs claimed.

Coincidence??

It predicts our future almost exact in my view, try to watch it.

I don't recommend movies or tv shows very much, or very often, and most of what I watch is older, and even then I am highly selective, since I don't spend a lot of my time watching movies or tv shows much, etc. I have some of my absolute favorites though, etc. And I'd rather watch them over again than a lot of other stuff, etc. Especially some of the newer, or really new stuff nowadays, absolute garbage, etc.

I have to prepare my mind for things like that. Nothing serious but I have to be in the mood to decode and I don't like to put too much of that in my face. I'm looking at related messages on current events and have to do something similar with financial content. Which requires planning and strategizing. The mind needs rest but I'll watch it.

I like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. We haven't finished counting Dumbledore's fails and I see something new every time I revisit Tolkien. I like Bridgerton but this season pushed intimacy too far. And I'm looking forward to the final season of The Umbrella Academy.

And I'm following the Diddy case and learned a lot about the industry and things to guard against I'd never consider.

What are your faves?

Can you give me a link, or tell me where to find it?

This attempted assassination could not have been closer. Another inch and Trump would have been dead. That smacks of Divine Providence but why would God save Trump?

He seems such a divisive figure somebody who would break the current world order jeopardizing the freedoms of countries all over the world. Ukraine and Taiwan are two examples. He is a proven liar, adulterer and fraudster so he has not earned any special grace, so why save the man? What does God want to do here?

Why would the Sovereign Lord permit Trump to survive?
Romans 9:15-16 NIV

For he says to Moses,

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy."

Why did God spare Trump? Let's first ask why did He spare us? If we think it was for any other reason than His mercy and grace and just His good pleasure, then let's gird up our loins and post a list of all the reasons we are more 'deserving' than Trump, or anybody else.

Perhaps it was for Trump’s own salvation and nothing more. Something like his Damascus Moment.

I understand, I am the same way, but when you have time, or are in the mood, consider it, k.
What are your faves?
Other than select movies, anything Star Trek or Star Wars, or Tolkien, or LotR, etc. Science fiction and/or fantasy is my favorite genre mostly, with just a few select other things. Some action movies, etc.

~bella
I will check out the link, but I might have to go or get off here for a bit. Might not be able to get back until tomorrow now maybe, etc.

Take Care/God Bless.

God never picks those people we would pick, He tells us that He judges according to hearts which we, obviously can't see.

Since we have only actions to go on in order to judge our former President Trump we must look at his actions.

As a president even Bill Barr, who doesn't care for all the decisions Trump ever made, but he tells us that Trump always listened to people like Bill and other advisors and always gave his best on doing the right thing by our own citizens and our allies and always tried to make sure he was following the law in the way he went about things.

That's commendable, and honestly your not getting better from anyone. There was nothing but peace under Trump.

Washington is a cesspool of vicious, power hungry, backstabbing sinners and the religion of the moment is "Me". There's no rules held sacred outside of 'does it benefit me right this second'.

King of this cesspool is a demented old man completely out of his mind and grasping onto the last vestiges of power with skeletal fingers crying out that only God can unseat him...

In the turn of Donald Trump's head God told Washington - he's coming to do just that.

God uses men, broken men, and raises them up to be greater than themselves in times such as these.
There is no evidence that Biden is demented. Though he has made some serious fumbles in public appearances and sounds less convincing in public debate

Washington was built on a swamp, the imagery of political corruption is more ancient than the capital and goes back to attitudes to authority generally, even the revolution. There are specific examples of malpractice but in general federal authority works.

Trump has tapped some deep sentiments here. From an international perspective he appears incredibly selfish and to model a view of America that would break much that is good for the peace, prosperity and indeed righteousness of the nations. Biden is not a convicted fellon and Trumps crimes are worrying in a leader.

God did use Trump to overthrow Roe v Wade and there was peace under him but he mismanaged the pandemic and created the big lie about the election that is undermining democracy in the USA. He borrowed more money than any other president and built an economy on credit while pandering to the Saudis.

A lot of things were said in that YouTube which might be less true, but this seems on the nail in its details about bullets and ears

So his view is that the Christian nationalism evoked by Trump may bring dark times for the nation, but that Trump would win. All parts of that prophecy have to come true for this to be of God.

Or it was just serendipity. As someone has mentioned, Hitler narrowly escaped assassination attempts as well.
The movements that Hitler and Trump represent were Nazism and a distorted version of Christian nationalism. Which is it more important to break the movement or the man?

Serendipity is a poor choice of word as it implies positive chance. The sovereignty of God does not leave space for chance, if this is a test then Trumps survival is a feature of that.

I just now realized this thread was in the American Politics Forum, not far apart from this one, lol.

Duh, J, Duh.

Sometimes I get so caught up in just the threads I'm currently in, that I sometimes don't look at the rest much sometimes, etc.

Anyway, I'll check it out more tomorrow, for now I took care of all my nightly stuff, and got an appointment tomorrow, so I'm now off to bed.

Night.

God Bless.

Wether Biden is demented or not, something is up with him.

What does one say of someone who after making a speech turns around and shakes hands with thin air, haha.

Either he has gone round the bend or he is play acting.

World leaders that have had meetings with him describe a man who is cogent and in command of the issues. The performance on the public stage is also something required in the modern media circus but it just poor acting when he fumbles his lines or exits stage right, shake hands.... Oh there is no one there

Trump has the acting down pat, it is his agenda with NATO and world trade that scares me. America is no longer strong enough to stand alone it needs allies. A new era of American self centeredness would be a catastrophe for the USA and for the rest of us

When Trump was in office he sent the US ambassador to Germany to warn them,

if they did not drop Nord stream project, they risk being sactioned, remember?

Trump wanted Germany the powerhouse of Europe to give up cheap reliable oil, gas by turning on a tap.

No, buy from us he insisted, such a ridiculous idea, transporting over the Atlantic.

That is one minus (imo).

One plus would be cutting off all aid to Ukraine (imo)

LOL I didn't see that one. But I found myself rewinding or replaying what he said. And much like you I drew the same conclusion. After his address on the shooting I think he's fine. He was very articulate and only stumbled on Trump but the rest was flawless and he didn't look confused.

Janet Yellen makes similar faces and genuinely looks lost but she's smart as a whip. It usually occurs when she's lying but when you see her elsewhere it's absent.

I agree. But remember he's an actor and played himself. We keep forgetting that. He had years of experience before he ran. And that's probably why he did it. If you recall his rhetoric he talked about being the deal maker and hired Omarosa from the show. He was leveraging what we saw.

He is cogent and in command of the issues in small spurts...like any person that old.

A president needs to be cogent and in command of the situation in a dire month of 20-hour days and 7-day weeks while having a cold.

If God specifically saved Trump, why couldn't God have given the bullet just the tiniest difference in trajectory to miss the guy behind Trump who took the bullet? I guess the guy behind Trump who took the bullet must have been a very bad man.
What is causing many here to down play Gods protection of Trump with all of the what ifs? No matter how many demonize the man the fact is Trump was and is covered by prayer by many. I personally believe that those that keep tearing this man down are the ones who need to look inward.
