(CNN) -- If not for the Bible, the bullets would have gone right through his heart.
A public transit bus driver in Dayton, Ohio, was attacked by three teenagers early Monday morning after his bus broke down on the side of the road, police told CNN affiliate WHIO.


 
Rickey Wagoner, 49, was shot three times at point-blank range and stabbed in the arm, but survived because both bullets aimed at his chest were stopped by a New Testament devotional Bible in his front pocket, according to WHIO. The third bullet struck him in the leg.


 
"There was obviously some kind of intervention involved in this incident, because he probably should not be here," Dayton Police Sgt. Michael Pauley told WHIO.
 
Wagoner told police he believes the assault was part of a gang initiation. Wagoner said he heard one suspect tell another that he needed to "kill the polar bear" in order to be "all the way in the club," according to WHIO.
 
 
Isaiah 54:15-17
If anyone attacks you, don't for a moment suppose that I sent them.  And if any should attack, nothing will come of it.  I create the blacksmith who fires up his forge and makes a weapon designed to kill.  I also create the destroyer --- but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.  Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar.  This is what God's servants can expect.  I'll see to it that everything works out for the best.
 
Dayton police, however, said it was too early in the investigation to draw any conclusions about the motive.
 
During the attack, Wagoner told police, he used an aluminum pen from his pocket to stab one of the teenage boys in the leg, according to WHIO. The suspects dropped the gun and fled as Wagoner picked up the weapon and opened fire.


 
Wagoner was transported to a hospital and was being treated for a bullet wound to the leg, among other injuries, according to WHIO. His injuries are not life-threatening, police said.
Police were searching for the three male suspects.
 
The condition of the book, which police described as a religious devotional entitled "The Message," was unknown. "The Message" is a translation of the Bible into contemporary language by Eugene Peterson.

BLOOD MOON SIGNS: What Does It Mean?

Image
  There has been a lot of talk and discussion about the Blood Moons phenomenon this year.   Every time you turn around someone's posting a video or blog about them.   But what does this mean to you, to Israel, or to the world? We know the first blood moon is April 15, 2014.   And that is the date on the Gregorian calendar.   This is the calendar you and I use every day.    Basically, it is the world's calendar.   But there is another calendar, the Hebrew calendar used by Israel.   However, the Hebrew calendar is God's calendar.   So, April 15, 2014 is also Nisan 15, 5774 which seems strange to us, but not to God or the Jews.   God has been using His calendar since the beginning of time! In the Bible when God was freeing the Israelites from Egypt, He told Moses about His 'feasts' and 'seasons', which in Hebrew is translated as the word 'moed'. Moed means 'divine appointment'. So, the first divine appointment is Passover.
