Nicely done and to me very thought provoking as well as stirring of my spirit. I can say for sure that Putin is not a rational human being, so that should concern the entire human race! He sits upon the largest nuclear arsenal, quite advanced by current standards!
Putin is on the same “Dark Path” as you say; which is the one that Lenin, Marx and Stalin along with many others followed straight into hell! And I assure you there is a hell just as there is a heaven; and it’s just that cut and dry! Communism is absolutely spawned from the darkest forces in the universe to counter the light of God and Jesus Christ which makes it totally antichrist! The Devil’s plan to rule all humanity and bring those souls to hell for eternity!
Please check this first link out then the subsequent ones to get a bit of perspective of where I’m coming from in all of what I say and what I commit myself to 100%! Perhaps later I can take some additional time to expand on any of these important matters before us all.

I take the Lightning Seed’s point about the anti-Christ. They didn’t know 2,000 years ago and we of course don’t know his identity now. From what I can remember the anti-C will be wildly popular and makes of himself a god, ruling for 3 1/2 years. Personally, I don’t look at any political or religious leader like that… Oh, and I think Putin’s lost the plot. The man’s brains are scrambled. Or he just took advantage because Biden is President.

Totally agree, holy Toledo Pam; with all you said! Yes the 3.5 years and going through those final 7 is the deal I think too! Yes the antichrist will deceive the masses from the way it reads in Scriptures and that fits with what would have to transpire to bring everything to a head!
I run with ideas a bit at times trying to see where I can take it but generally I have always seen it the way you pointed it out here! I just tried to talk to a priest/friend today that I hadn’t called in months and found out sadly that he passed suddenly! He was a great man and good friend to me, we had long conversations and he helped me think through so many hardships I was working out on my own; even a legal injury case when in that government job; so he was like another father and brother! The priest taking his place is excellent too and straightened me out on my outlook a bit, because as I see a lot of corruption and its really there; he pointed out there is already a backlash and God is in control!
He helped by mentioning this one Scripture which led me to think of these other verses.
He definitely is a man looking at the glass half full and I’m sure his job should be to look for the positive which he said would be the backlash from all of the deception and God is in control; how many people are already pushing back which is true, but I see some very evil persons at the top of the food chain are out of control or under the influence of pure evil and what if one just goes completely mad! So many people where ranting back in 2016 that if Trump got elected he would start WWIII, but, where is all that ranting now in the MSM? And look what we have such loose out of it canons; that actually could start that end war!
Here is the Scripture he mentioned which I’ve quoted often over the last view years in my writing;
1. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
Also I should mention here this additional truth. 2. John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.”
So in essence I think what I want to crystalize is what you and I have said along with now the priest’s perspective; is that we must not have blinders on as we move forward, but also fear nothing, if we are seeking God’s will because of course;
Roman’s 8:30-32 “And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. 31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?”
I guess too that we have no choice but to see it this way, and I’m good with that, but, I mentioned to the new priest, how when I lose a friend or loved one, even a pet; I get so sad and want them back! But a man that I used to work with in that government job once told me something about this. He was going to be a priest but after an epiphany he didn’t go through with becoming a consecrated priest; but he said that I don’t let go of those I love and I don’t own them, they belong to God so I should accept God’s will in these things and let go, not being selfish! I’m not possessive but wanting to hold on to those I love is natural for me and I know it’s futile! I just get too sad and sensitive, but, after a while see God is in charge and I’m OK again; I make the necessary adjustment that God expects from me! So in a sense maybe this is the same I need to do in these larger global changes and agendas taking place and keep trying but adjusting as I go forward!
Thank you Pam!
God bless you and yours!
