Trumps Ear by Dea Warford
This is NOT teaching about politics but about God’s end-times involvement on Earth!
When Donald Trump was nearly assassinated, it became a shot heard around the world. Many believe it was a miracle. There are some big lessons and powerful truths we can observe and apply to our lives from one of the most dramatic photographs in American history.
I recently published my most important book called REVELATION: End Times Guidance. In it, I showed how the end times events displayed in Revelation call for every Christian to heed Christ’s warning, which is offered seven times, wherein He says, “Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” I, for one, believe that a shot taken in the ear by Trump could be a sign from heaven drawing attention to all of our ears. If Christians ever need to listen and recognize the Spirit’s voice, it is in this hour!
I read where an expert said it was a one-in-a- million chance that a sniper was able to kill the would-be assassin with only one shot from his poor vantage point on a roof. Most Christians, including me, believe that God supernaturally kept Trump from being seriously injured or killed. Following are my observations for your open- minded consideration…
1/ We are immortal until we fulfil our destiny:
What Trump’s future destiny is, we have yet to see, but if God were done using him for whatever purposes He had in raising him to the presidency in 2016, He could have very easily let the assassin take him out. Why did God go to such dramatic lengths to spare him?
I was supernaturally saved from drowning as a child. God had a destiny for me, didn’t He? You probably had a very close brush with death, and you survived. You give Him the glory and lived to see the further good works He had for you on this planet. Now, as I do, you likely sense that you have even more important work to finish before your death or the Lord comes to take you home. Your destiny is keeping you alive! Take encouragement today from the promise that, “No weapon that is formed against thee will prosper…This is the heritage (destiny) of the servants of the Lord.” (Isa. 54:17). Are you a “servant of the Lord?” Then why are you afraid?
2/ Satan can’t kill you without God’s permission:
The devil had to get the Lord’s permission to kill Job’s children, but God would not let him kill Job. Why? Job had a high calling as one of the Bible’s writers (42 chapters!) and the finest example of patient suffering and our ultimate triumph (Job 5:11). Satan could not short-circuit Job’s destiny!
Man can’t kill you either! Evil Babylonian leaders tried to kill Shadrach, Meshak, and Abednego with fire, but Jesus was with them in the fire to supernaturally protect them. They had a destiny to be superstars in a book written by Daniel to inspire the church throughout the ages.
Even animals can’t kill you. A den full of lions couldn’t kill Daniel! In my REVELATION book, I describe the time in the future when the animal kingdom will turn on mankind. But we can be like Paul and shake off poisonous serpents into a fire!
Persecutors cannot kill you until you fulfill your mission on Earth. Paul was hated by the Jews yet was scooted off to safety more than once when his enemies wanted him dead.
Trump has been called, “the most hated man on Earth.” But neither a 20-year-old with a BIG RIFLE, an inept secret service leader, or a bullet going 3 times the speed of sound could end his life. Joseph was preserved, though hated by his brothers, and told them, “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (Gen. 50:20). Believe that God has kept you alive to help reap the final harvest of souls. I really believe that!
Our immortality does have one caveat. We can short-circuit our destiny by disobedience. I underscore this truth again and again in my REVELATION book and PROVE that grace alone is not enough to save you from a sniper or even Hell. There are strict requirements for last-day Christians, as I show in my book. Thus far, God has given Trump grace. But I pray that he does not take advantage of such grace, humbles himself, and understands that if God did indeed supernaturally spare his life, it wasn’t because He is Donald but because he yet has work for him to perform. We must pray for Donald and OTHER LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES because we are told to do so in the Word, AND our peace, prosperity, and safety can depend on their leadership decisions (i.e. Adolf Hitler!).
3/ God is giving us signs of the end times:
Modern inventions were necessary for the fulfilment of many of the things I shared that are yet to happen as predicted in Revelation. A camera that could snap a picture at 1/8000th of a second and show us the actual bullet as it sped by Trump’s head is one of those inventions. What a sign that the whole world was able to view! I have my opinion of what the primary purpose of that sign is, but one thing I can guarantee you…it is NOT a sign that Donald Trump is the Antichrist. A supporter wrote me and was worried about that, since the Bible warns us of the BEAST receiving a wound to the head and referred me to the page in my book where she had read that. I reminded her that Trump’s minor wound to his head would NOT make him a candidate to be the Antichrist. Why? Because Rev. 13:3 says, “I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed.” A hole in the ear is hardly a “deadly wound.” (Ha, ha!). When the real Antichrist is revealed, his people will NOT be deceived by him and his mark!
I think, my reader, that there is no doubt in your mind that the bullet whizzing past Trump’s head was real. Nevertheless, that anybody could conclude otherwise is evidence why Jesus warned, concerning the last days…
4/ Great Deception is coming upon the Earth:
When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of the end times, the first thing Jesus said was, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matt. 24:4). Compare that with John’s warning, “Many deceivers are
entered into the world…This is a deceiver and an antichrist” (2 John 1). And also, “It is the last time; and as ye have heard that the antichrist shall come, even now are there may antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time” (1 John 3:18). We don’t need the actual Antichrist (the Beast of Revelation) to be on the scene to know the end is near. Politicians calling for the mutilation of children’s private parts and hiding that from their parents or calling for full- term newly born babies to be “kept comfortable until the parents decide (if they want to keep him or kill him!),” as one governor said. Proof of his being deceived was that he actually thought that would sound so loving and sympathetic. You and I could see right through it!
Furthermore, I read that many in the Democratic Party believe that Trump faked his assassination attempt. The fireman who was killed was just “collateral damage,” and some wouldn’t put it past Donald to kill his own supporters in order to win the election. Discerning Christians are not deceived by lies that so obviously come from evil leaders in the media or even Satan himself! Remember, “The thief comes to steal (elections?), kill (candidates?), and destroy (Nations God blesses and uses, like America!).”
5/ The Falling away is coming
“That day (The Lord’s return!) will not come except the falling away comes first” (2 Thess. 2:3).
Paul warned that in the last days, there would be a great “falling away.” We know this is especially speaking about the religion of Christianity, for in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3: “We ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first.”The world doesn’t believe in “the day of Christ.” Yet, they too will experience a “falling away” (in Greek this can also mean “rebellion”). The principles of the Bible was spread through so much of the world by the godly influence of missionaries through the centuries. Churches, preaching, and our stand politically have helped to hold at bay the “lawlessness” of the coming antichrist kingdom (through the “man of sin” which some versions say “man of lawlessness.”)
The widespread lies and “false news” to belittle Israel, criticize the church, and defeat conservatism (the bedrock of America since its founding) was predicted by Paul in 2 Thess. 2:10-12: “Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved…for this cause God shall send them strong delusion; that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” Take note of those words, “strong delusion.” There is surely no greater example in history of this than a political party that has decided that children should be free, without their parents involvement, to have their private parts mutilated.
Daniel speaks of events of the last days, and he even explains what will precipitate the great “falling away” in Daniel 11:33-35: “And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall FALL by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering. Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by intrigue. And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.” (Observe that in v. 35, “some of those of understanding shall FALL.” This fall does not necessarily mean to “fall away from Christ” but rather a worldwide time of unbelief and rebellion when many will fall into desperate times of persecution or even death). We know this is what it refers to because verse 34 explains that, “people who understand (That’s us! You and I can clearly discern the “strong delusion” in Washington D.C., in the media, and in the entertainment industry) shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering.” (These are acts of persecution, which we are already seeing,
that God will allow in order to…“refine them, purify them, and make them white.” (The Lord will be separating the wheat from the tares in these last days, as Jesus warned in Matt. 13:38-40). Read more in my book! You must decide for yourself what Trump’s ear means for America and for you personally. I truly believe it is a sign that God is highly involved in America’s welfare now. He wants to save our nation and our people. And for a debatable yet obviously important reason, He wanted to save Donald Trump. Pray for America! Pray for Trump. Pray for Kamala.
And please, more than ever…
Pray for the Warfords!

“It’s wonderful! It’s powerful! It’s informative, and it gave me peace about the future!” (Marzetta Alexander, Azusa, Calif)
“I really like the way Dea approaches this subject. He has studied and read the Book of Revelation repeatedly, and he shares others’ opinions. I like that he says (concerning a pretribulation rapture), “I hope they are right,” and I really hope they are too. This book helps us prepare for what is to come (If I’m still here) and will help me prepare others. I will give my family and friends a copy and encourage them to read it.”
(Debi Davis, Thatcher, AZ) “It is a rather awesome piece of writing. Dea is speaking directly to the reader in a conversation style of writing. His book is an excellent aid in the process (of my personal learning to read the Bible and to obey the Lord). I have been through it twice and will be returning to it over and over. As I am able, I will be ordering more copies to hand out. Thank you for this wonderful tool!”

August Report from
Missionary/Evangelist Nathan Warford…
Our Visas to Japan have been submitted! We now wait one or more months to receive them. Upon
reception, we will be ready to move! In a coming newsletter, I will detail more extensively what we believe God has in store for our team. Meanwhile, I have been studying Japanese and reviewing my notes on church planting, and our team has been preparing to share in another upcoming Japan prayer night event in August. Our launch to Asia should be coming soon!
A few weeks ago, we met online with our Visa Sponsors, YWAM Taito (a base located in eastern Tokyo), and had a wonderful time connecting with them. One of the older Japanese missionaries began to cry and express her heartfelt thanks that we would come and serve in her country out of obedience to God.
I know God is calling me to this dream, which is over a decade in the making! I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to not only make further connections for Japan here in the States but also to continue to disciple and work with people in my Long Beach and Irvine communities. There’s much to be done before moving to Japan.
I’m so grateful for God’s provision through partners like you who pray, give, and participate in His calling on my life. Thank you again!
