The Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) of Righteousness (Eph 6:14)
IBA is heavy, a burden, and uncomfortable.
This 16.4 lb vest is similar in weight and purpose to the roman breast plate that Paul referred to in Ephesians. Here are the observations that I jotted down in my journal:
IBA is heavy, a burden, and uncomfortable.
It is protective (I feel safer inside it).
The weight, though oppressive in 120 degree heat, is balanced.
It protects my vital organs.
There is a video taken from the view of an enemy sniper shooting a soldier wearing this armor. The man falls to the ground, immediately jumps up, readies his weapon, takes cover, and begins to fight.
When I get around to it, I will write about how some of these observations apply to the Armor of God. Right now I'm just too darn lazy to write all this stuff in one sitting.
