Jack Hibbs Talks Presidential Assassination Attempt: ‘It’s Time to Say That Jesus Christ is Lord’
In a special message calling for the body of Christ to come together in prayer, Pastor Jack Hibbs decided to wear a special, symbolic robe in the face of what happened this past weekend when an assassination attempt took place on former president Donald Trump’s life.
Wearing a special black robe, Hibbs says this attire is for times when “acts of tyranny” have occurred.
“’ll put this one and wear it at times of tyranny,” Hibbs says. “I’ve done this during the passage of very bad laws. I’ve done this in times of very terrible things…[today] should be proclaimed as a solemn day of prayer and of meditation.”

Hibbs says he respects and would have done the same as Trump in regards to him raising his fist in the air after being shot, but that he feels Trump should have also taken a moment to praise the Lord right then and there.
“I would think that God would want to see the next shot, photo shot, image shot, camera shot, the next reel, would be Trump on his knees with his hands lifted to Jesus Christ as Love and Savior,” Hibbs says.
Reading Deuteronomy 28:1-68 with the congregation, Hibbs says this passage of Scripture highlights what we today would consider to be the symptoms of America. This passage includes discussions of plagues, idolatry and possessions being given to the enemies of Israel.
Hibbs says that part of the significance of what happened with Trump’s ear being grazed by the bullet instead of being immediately killed is not only a miracle, but it has a deeper, symbolic purpose to it as well.
“This is a strange connection, I know, but God said, ‘all those who represent me in the priesthood, there’s to be a sacrificial basin of blood. And I want the toe of the priest to be dipped in the blood, the big toe, the right toe, dipped in blood. I want the priest’s thumb dipped in blood because his feet and his decision making is covered in my blood. And then take the blood from the basin and put it on your right ear,’” Hibbs says.
This sentiment echoes Leviticus 8:22-28 when Moses consecrated Aaron and his sons. In this passage of Scripture, it is the sacrificial ram’s blood that is placed on Aaron’s right ear.
Hibbs then further points out that what happened to Trump is a call for him to declared Jesus Christ as Lord.
“Mr. President, if you’re watching this right now, your right ear was bloodied. It wasn’t your eye that got shot. It wasn’t your nose that got shot. It wasn’t your temple that was intended to be to be shot. Your ear was hit. But we would like and pledge and pray that you might bow your knee before the Lord Almighty,” Hibbs says. “It’s time to say that Jesus Christ is Lord. That He’s the one that rules over the affairs of men. He loves and died on the cross and rose again from the grave.”
