As believers (unlike the unbelievers), we have access to understand spiritual things by spiritual means (1Cor 2:13).
But generally as humans, if not because we are used to comparing the things made by God in the physical (which we are deceived to believe to be more real due to the effect of the fall) to partially understand spiritual things (Rom 1:20); no one would have known the Armour of God in reality. Thanks to God and the man He reveals it to - Apostle Paul.
We are talking about spiritual armor here not the kind of protective material worn or used to cover any warrior or instrument of war to avoid penetration of weapons. That is why the sword (a weapon of arsenal by spiritual description) that is offensive is also named among the Armour meant to be defensive; though all is still in the course of protection. (Eph 6:10-18)
Natural realm is coined from the Spirit realm, a prove that the natural realm and everything in it including you (physically) is deceptive of its true self.
Have you ever wondered why everything related to, associated with or attributed to God are represented by the angels? That is because He needs them for the purpose of His creation not Himself (just like a system).
Yet, He created you different and better than the angels, but like Himself, so that you can contain and replicate Him and all His attributes and qualities each angel represents. Awesome right? How do you feel? God-like right? (Job 7:17, 15:14, Ps 8:4, 143:3)
Good, that shows you should be closer in relation to God than the angels. You think that's not possible? How? Tell me why you have the Spirit of God Himself that no angel has inside of you? Now, do you believe it is possible because God is involved?
God is everything good that ever existed, all in all with or without the angels and the creation. All were in God but He gave creation (including the angels) the permission to choose to remain in Him or not. (Jh 1)
So, the same way the Armour of God is not meant for God to put on. What will He be protecting Himself from? That is why you would be shocked that the Armour of God is God Himself. The same thing applicable to everything you want to talk about, that was created (being good before the fall) or that depicts creation (beauty, Glory, light etc).
Now, since God is A Spirit and He created the angels to interfere in the affairs of man from the spirit realm but partially in the natural. He however still made Himself available to interfere permanently in the affairs of man through the dimension of the "Son" (the personality of His thoughts and words) by His Spirit (the true identity of His being). (Jh 4:24, Jh 3)
So you would know now that because you are in the physical, Jesus being the God in man who came in the natural and became the Christ is the Armour of God and this you can never know or make use of without the personality of the drive responsible, even the spiritual entity and system of God - The (Holy) Spirit of God.
That is why even the Armour of God constitutes the representative elements of God Himself - Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Faith, Word, and Prayer which can only be done, demonstrated through and found in God the Spirit (Gal 5:22).
