Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has been on the hearts and minds of everyone worldwide. People wonder what\u2019s going on in Vladimir Putin\u2019s mind and why he\u2019s continuing this assault on Ukrainian people. Now, some are comparing him to the antichrist. A recent\u00a0proclamation\u00a0from a Ukrainian Orthodox Church official that Russian President Vladimir Putin is the \u201canti-Christ of our current time\u201d has added yet another layer of intrigue to the mounting eschatological questions surrounding Putin\u2019s Ukraine invasion.<\/p>\n
Some people may wonder who the antichrist is and what it means to be like it. These are just some of the questions emerging after\u00a0Yevstratiy Zoria, spokesman for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,\u00a0told BBC reporter\u00a0Harry Farley he believes Putin is the \u201canti-Christ because \u2026 what he does now, is totally against Gospel, against God\u2019s law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Author and end-times expert Jeff Kinley explained that the word \u201cantichrist\u201d occurs five times in Scripture. While there are many perspectives on the rapture, tribulation, and everything in between, Kinley broke down his take on the antichrist\u2019s placement in the end-times paradigm. He says, \u201cHe\u2019s depicted as an end-times figure who will arrive in the last days and who will be in prominence during the last seven years of earth\u2019s history,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019ll basically be a global leader. He\u2019ll be the global leader of the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
