God is not yet finished with Donald Trump.

Yesterday an assassin’s bullet nicked his ear. Had the rifle been pointing a few nanometers to the right, Mr. Trump would be dead. At the instant the bullet sped past at 3,000 feet per second, had he not had his head turned, he would be dead. Had his head been turned two inches further right, he would be dead.

But this would-be assassin, rather than turning the president into a martyr, burnished Trump’s image in many minds as a warrior and a hero.

Rather than throwing Trump’s political movement and the nation into chaos, this gunman united and rallied it behind the man he was trying to kill.

Had that bullet been a few millimeters to the left and missed Trump completely, you would not have these iconic images of a bloodied man, punching the air with his fist, mouthing, “Fight, fight, fight.”

Every effort by this man’s critics and enemies to weaken, impede, disqualify and now even murder him ends up not only failing but redounding to his advantage.

There is a reason. It is increasingly plain to anyone with eyes open.

This is providential. God still has work for Donald Trump to do.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has been pointing to prophecies in 2 Kings 14 and Amos 7 that pertain to Donald Trump. This is thoroughly explained in his book America Under Attack.

It was because parts of these prophecies remain unfulfilled that, when Trump left Washington 3½ years ago, Mr. Flurry said he would be back.

The improbable chain of events that have brought Trump back from defeat—after two impeachments, dozens of criminal charges, an fbi raid on his home, felonious indictments and a barely failed attempt on his life—to now being the inevitable next occupant of the Oval Office are jaw-dropping proof of the reliability of this prophecy.

Trump’s enemies are exasperated and fuming. They have talked for years now about the need for him to be eliminated. They keep shouting, louder and still louder, that success for this modern incarnation of Adolf Hitler means the death of American democracy and world peace. Some are now shamelessly lamenting the shooter’s poor aim. The way yesterday unfolded, however, will make any future assassination attempt on Trump less likely.

Grave questions about Trump’s Secret Service detail were exposed. The fact that a gunman could get within 150 yards of Mr. Trump at a public event and fire off several clear shots is catastrophic criminal negligence at best. Firsthand accounts suggest more sinister possibilities. Whatever the explanation, these security gaps are certain to be closed up. The threat to Trump must be taken more seriously.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Flurry was finishing up giving a public address about Abraham Lincoln and lessons from America’s Civil War. He spoke about how frustrated Lincoln was with his ineffective generals, and how it wasn’t until he found a man who bought into his grand strategy of “total war” that the North was able to make progress in ending the war and saving the Union.

Mr. Flurry ended his message on a sobering note, by reading, without comment, the concluding paragraphs of Lincoln and His Generals, by T. Harry Williams. They relate Lincoln’s last important order, a telegraph to General Grant: “Let the thing be pressed”—finish the job. God used Lincoln to reunite the United States of America and that job was complete.

In the book’s final paragraph, William then wrote, abruptly, “On April 8, a Saturday, Lincoln boarded the River Queen and started home. As the ship swung out from the pier, Lincoln stood a long time looking back at the land. He may have been thinking of the weary years of defeat—of McClellan, Burnside, Hooker—or of the hour of victory and Grant and Sherman. That day John Wilkes Booth registered at the National Hotel in Washington.”

Those who heard Mr. Flurry’s address pondered over his reference to Lincoln’s assassin. Just two hours later, a modern would-be John Wilkes Booth failed in his murderous aim.

God is not yet finished with Donald Trump. Expect the efforts to destroy this man to continue to boomerang and backfire—that is, at least until those prophecies are fulfilled.

What is the job Trump has yet to complete? That is a question whose answer you need to prove to yourself. And you can, by reading America Under Attack.

“It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Trump said in a statement this morning.

He’s absolutely right. His enemies are being thwarted by God Himself. They won’t acknowledge it. They will learn nothing from what happened yesterday.

What about you?
