The Destiny of Russia and Vladimir Putin

[00:00:02] I'm Rich Young iii. And this is an amazing thing. [00:00:17] I am here to facilitate learning the word of God on a fundamental level. [00:00:23] So join me and let's grow together and build a relationship with our creator. [00:00:29] And that starts now. [00:00:39] Hello, everybody, and welcome to an amazing thing. Thank you for joining me today. [00:00:44] We've learned in previous lessons that there are many of the modern nations that we know today are in the Bible. [00:00:52] On today's show, through God's foreknowledge and what's written in the word of God, we'll determine what's going to happen to those nations as well as the leader or leaders of those nations. On today's show, we're going to be discussing the destiny of Russia and Vladimir Putin. [00:01:09] So that's going to be a very amazing lesson, in my opinion. So let's go ahead and begin with this. On our previous show that was entitled US in the Bible, we talked about animal symbols that represented different nations that were on that would be on the earth at the time of the return of Jesus Christ. [00:01:31] And so that lesson helped us to identify that. And we're going to go ahead and recap that a little bit and then we'll flow into our show for today. We learned that in Daniel, chapter seven, verses one through six, the lion was Great Britain. And out of the lion came eagle's wings, which we know Great Britain is our mother country and the eagle's wings belong to the United States of America. [00:01:58] So we know that we are in the Bible, the bear. And I think everybody knows that the bear is Russia. I mean, no matter where you go in the world and ask who's the bear, I think everybody would answer that one correctly. [00:02:10] We learned that the leopard is Germany. [00:02:14] And we do know that Germany has had many animal symbols, but the one that God recognizes is the, is the leopard. And the leopard had four wings of a foul. And that represented France. And we do know that France and Germany have close ties and they even go back to a common ancestor. And even Charlemagne was an ancestor of both those peoples. [00:02:39] So we know that the leopard is Germany and the, the wings of a foul belong to France. Because Francis, animal symbol is the rooster, the Gaelic rooster. [00:02:50] And we know we have a dreadful tin horn beast that we'll have to identify in a future show when we get there. As we put all these things together, the band which we studied in the previous lesson, animals symbol to Russia had three ribs in its mouth which could be represented by three notable territories that Russia or the Soviet Union conquered. [00:03:15] And so we know we have Crimea. [00:03:18] Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 following a controversial referendum which was condemned internationally by most people. But, you know, Russia took it anyway. [00:03:32] And so we know that Russia, the writer that we covered in one of our other lessons, we the people, why we believe the Red Rider had a huge sword and it talked about how he went forth conquering and to conquer. So we know that all the red nations are noted for conquering with a huge sword. And Russia is one of them. So Crimea was one of those, those countries that they conquered and took. Well, this one through annexation. But, you know, the threat of what that whole thing was about certainly contributed to that. [00:04:09] Okay, we have Kaliningrad, which after World War II the Soviet Union took control of was known as East Prussia. [00:04:17] Konanberg was the prominent city in this territory and the name was changed to Kaliningrad. And it's still a part of Russia today. So that was one of the territories that Russia took over, the Baltic States. [00:04:32] After World War II, the Soviet Union annexed the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. And they were going regained their independence after the Berlin Wall fell. But I think many, many, many people around the world still see that as see it as a part of Russia. [00:04:50] These are three prominent examples of how Russia has historically taken territories or acquired territories through conflict. Most of the time it is conflict. [00:05:02] And so the three bears in the mouth of it certainly would lend itself to that being the case here Also could be future events ahead of us because at the time of this recording, you know, we had the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, which is going on right now. [00:05:23] We are not sure how that's going to turn out. And if that does turn out to be one of the countries that Russia is going to conquer, then they have two other countries to conquer in the near future. And I say near future because there's not much time left before the wrapping up of these things the Bible teaches us. [00:05:43] We also remember that in the prophecy Russia, in Daniel 7, verse 5, it said the bear arise and conquer much flesh. [00:05:53] So that certainly would lend itself to conquering that Russia has been doing. So we know the three ribs in the mouth of the bear, which means that they conquered these countries by military conflict. [00:06:06] And there is enough time left, as we said, that's approaching. These events will have to take place if they are future events very shortly because there's not very much time left in the church age in which we live in right now. [00:06:23] And so another thing that we notice about the bears, the bear was raised up on one side, which represents Most of the wars that Russia has fought has been toward one direction, and usually that's the direction they've gone into, that one direction. Except for two times there's a conflict with Japan, which Russia lost. [00:06:46] So that may be one reason why they don't go that way anymore. [00:06:50] Also, there was a conflict with the Ottomans in 1850 for the control of the Black Sea as well as some of the Holy Land. And Russia did not fare well in that adventure either. [00:07:03] So most of Russia's offensive domination has been toward one direction. So we can certainly see that from the prophecy in the Bible of the bear being raised up on one side. [00:07:15] Let's talk about where Russia will eventually end up in the future in a very, very short time. Now, as we said, because we look at the speed in which these things are coming to pass, we can know that it's not going to be very, very much longer. [00:07:30] Things are certainly shaping up that way. [00:07:33] Let's read Ezekiel, chapter 38, verses 1 through 4. [00:07:39] And it says, and the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, son of man, set thy face against Gog and the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal prophesy against him, and say, thus saith the Lord. Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and I will turn thee back and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth and all thine army and horses and horsemen, and all their clothing and sorts of armor, even the great company with bucklers and shields, all of them wielding swords. [00:08:23] This future event, there is a united army, that is the bulk of the arm is made up of Russian troops, According to Ezekiel 38, verse 2 here, because Gog and Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tuba, are all names that have relationship in Russia, along with the members of the former Soviet Union. In addition to that. [00:08:48] So we can pretty much know that the bulk of what this is talking about is Russia. Now, we know at the time of this event, this is a future event from our time now. [00:08:57] But when this happens, Russia will make up the book along with other countries that join in. [00:09:04] And we know that it will be because of other scriptures in the Bible. Russia is going to be a part of it. Persia, Ethiopia, Turkey, those will be countries that will be involved in this. [00:09:15] But the bulk, as we said, will be Russia because this, this prophecy tends to lend itself toward Russia being the. [00:09:25] The main culprit involved in this. Okay, let's continue the. And this army is, is going to be a united and come against Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. All those countries I named, our countries that are named that are going to come against Israel, and they will think it's their own idea, it'll be because of some resolution that they have the one World Government which will rule the world at that time. [00:09:52] But if you notice, God says he will put hooks in their jaws and bring them down to a specific place in battle. [00:10:01] Really, it's God bringing the enemies into one place so he can deal with them. Now they will think it's their ideal. They'll have some type of resolution because Israel won't do something that. [00:10:13] That the world says they must do. And it will have to do with the confirmation of the Covenant and so on and so forth, which we will have further shows discussing all of these things in detail because there's so much that can be understood and so much that has not been taught until we have to kind of take these things slowly and steady. So to bring you up to speed, because this may be the first time you've heard these things before. [00:10:39] And so we certainly want to not lose anybody with all the technical jargon of what's going on here. [00:10:46] Okay. At the time of this event, most of the world will be with the European Union, will be the heart of that, which really will be the Holy Roman Empire. Because as we November the ninth, I'm sorry, November the fourth, I believe, of 2009, was when the Holy Roman Empire through the European Union came together once again. Now there's only a few more countries that will be a part of the whole Roman Empire, and that was traditionally a part of the whole world empire that have not joined them. And Russia is one of those that was a part of it. At least part of Russia was. [00:11:25] So we know that that whole Roman Empire in its entirety is just ahead of us. [00:11:32] So these things will have to be done in a very, very short order in order to be able to put these things together in the time frame that we're talking about here. And so they'll bring these countries together under the banner of globalism and the New World Order. That's a word that we're hearing quite a lot of as of late, the New World Order. And it's been the vision of a lot of world leaders for a long time. When we know that FDR put New World Order on the back of our dollar bill, it was a dream of his. Like we said, novus ordo seclorum, that is New World Order written in Latin. So we know that he was a Proponent of the New World Order to where one global government should run the world is what that vision really entails. [00:12:20] This will be the. [00:12:24] They would be feel like this is necessary to come together to stop a lot of the conflicts that's going on. Now we know that there is a war just ahead of us, the War of a Third. Now we did a show on that and it was entitled the Trump Administration and the War for Third, which talked about that war which is part of the six Trumpet prophecy. And we know that after that happens, people will say we can't have this kind of destruction ever again because one third of the population of the earth if it happened today would be 2.7, 2.8 billion people. [00:13:02] And so according to present day population. So after that happens then that is certainly going to happen. The Bible, Bible prophesies that. [00:13:10] And so when that happens, people gonna say we can't have this kind of carnage, this kind of death ever again or the world won't survive this. And so that event of that particular war is found In Revelation chapter 9, verses 13 through 21 talks about the entirety of that. Now the outrage and the outrage and the cry for peace will be on a world catastrophic level. The people of the world will join together to prevent this kind of atrocity in the future. [00:13:43] And you know, you remember Hillary Clinton said once that when you have a terrible event or some type of thing like that, don't waste it. You can get people to do things at that time that you wouldn't be able to get them to do any other time. And so certainly that's going to be true after we wake up and find out that almost 3 billion people have died. And so that's going to be a catalyst for this coming together. [00:14:08] What we're describing right now. [00:14:10] So all the things that we're discussing sounds like a lot to take place and but we're gonna have to, like I said, continue to produce shows giving us a little bit of time so that we can come to grips with these things and know that this is a part of the Bible and it can be understood by somebody. [00:14:27] And we want help you to study these things so that you can say that you understand. Not that Rich on the An Amazing Thing podcast understands, but you yourself understands this. [00:14:41] Okay, so we're going to continue to, to create things and add to this and, and go at a pace where you can follow along and so and you can go back and watch some of our shows and catch up. Anything that you can't understand you want to add to it. You can do that. [00:14:56] As I mentioned early, the banner of globalism. Most of the world will come together. [00:15:02] We see in the final beast or nation in Daniel chapter seven, which will become the united. [00:15:09] They'll become united together along with other beasts, our nations, which is what those are. [00:15:15] And we'll read Revelation chapter 13, verses 1 through 4 to let us know that this is going to happen and what it's going to look like. [00:15:25] I'll start reading in verse 1. Revelation 13, verse 1. And I stood upon the sands of the sea and. And saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beach which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth was as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his seat and great authority. [00:15:55] And I saw one of the heads that was wounded unto death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered after the beast. [00:16:04] And they worshiped the dragon and gave. They gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? [00:16:15] What we read is the scripture that the description of the union of all these kingdoms, our countries and what they will look like. [00:16:23] So it'll be such a. [00:16:25] A united, powerful nation or kingdom that is all these other kings become a part of until nobody will want to stand against it. [00:16:37] Okay, let's talk about and break this down what we've seen here. [00:16:40] We see that the countries that make up this beast or these, this united beast, are united nations, if you will. In Daniel, chapter seven, we see them all come together, except for the eagle's wings, and also except the wings of the fowl are not there. Now we know that if something is specifically prophesied in the word of God, it's going to happen. [00:17:07] So we know that the eagle's wings. We will have to have a future lesson to determine this. [00:17:13] But for now, just accept this. For now that the eagle's wings are going. I'm not going to be a part of this beast because we protect Israel all the way through the great tribulation from this one world international beast that we have described here. So we can see what the destiny of the United States is going to be in that the eagle swings. Now, we don't know about the wings of the foul. [00:17:38] We know that France is such an integral part of Europe, the European Union, and the whole Roman Empire until it's kind of hard for us to believe that it won't be a part of it. But the Bible doesn't tell us that. So we'll have to wait and see how that turns out. [00:17:53] So that is an interesting thing right there. [00:17:55] This end time, one world government, global union will involve more than just those kingdoms in Daniel. Those are the prominent kingdoms that it will cause. But it'll have to be the most of the world because the sea in which the Bible describes here are people's multitudes, nations and tongues. So it'll be an international system and probably people joining together from different regions, from all over the world. And everywhere that this nation is going to be in rulership, those people will be involved in this. [00:18:30] And so we know this is a compilation of countries and the heart of it being Europe. [00:18:35] And one of the heads was wounded unto death is what it said here. Now we know that Germany after Hitler's Third Reich, when the Berlin Wall, that that was the deadly wound because they, they broke Germany in half. There was East Germany and West Germany, and that is the deadly wound that this, that the word of God is talking about here. Well, we know that when the Berlin Wall came down, the God in his word said that is the healing of the deadly wound. [00:19:05] And so we can certainly know that Germany and the leopard is going to be a part of this, of this union of all these countries. So, and, and we can look at this especially after the war that kills one third of mankind. And we're constantly fighting wars and rumors of wars and things such as that. So most of the countries of the world would think it's a good idea that we should all join together so that we can not have this kind of carnage again. [00:19:34] And then you have people who say things like, well, if you had, we all joined together, we had one army. One army cannot fight with itself. [00:19:43] Well, that's true, but just say an evil dictator gains control of that one army, then there's no counter for that. That means we're subject to, to an evil dictator who's running the world and there's no way to stop him. [00:20:00] And so we certainly don't want to have this. No response to me in other kingdom that that can, that can stand up to him. Now we know that when this happens, that is going to happen. My dad always told us when we was growing up, if you got a man on a corner selling apples, you need another man on another corner selling apples so they can keep each other in line. [00:20:22] Well, you know, you know when you have these, this kind of thing happening where one Dictator is going to gain control of that one world government. [00:20:34] When we're governed, we know eventually that is going to be the Antichrist is going to be that ruler and he'll rise up through peace to gain control of this. And people when he first gains control is going to seem like a very, very good idea. [00:20:52] But you know, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. So it's going to be just a matter of time. And there's so much like I said before, we're going to have to cover to really, really understand what this is trying to get us to see and who these people are and what we can expect here. [00:21:12] And so so the Bible in Revelation 13:4 says that the dragon gives this kingdom, this compilation of different kingdoms, their power and great authority. [00:21:27] So we can know that this is not something that God is for, this is something that God is against. [00:21:33] Revelation chapter 12, verse 9 tells us that the dragon is that old serpent. [00:21:38] The devil and Satan. So the devil and Satan is what is behind this united all these companies getting all these countries getting together and becoming one. [00:21:52] There's one united kingdom. [00:21:54] Satan is the one who this is a creation of his own doing here. [00:22:00] So the one world kingdom, the ten horn beast, Russia the bear is going to be a part of that along with other kingdoms as we said before, will be completely malevolent because it's a whole thing like I said just now, is contrived by Satan himself. So certainly that's not going to be something that is going to be good for us. [00:22:24] And we certainly don't want to be a part of that. [00:22:29] And so also shows us that globalism is also not a good thing unless it's the leader, Jesus Christ. [00:22:41] Then we know that it'll be a good thing then because it'll be under the leadership of the proper leadership of Jesus Christ that we know that just ahead of us Jesus Christ will return and all of the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. [00:22:59] So that is the only time that I want to live under a system that is united with one leader of Jesus Christ is not the leader I don't want to be a part of. [00:23:08] Also shows us that globalism is a terrible idea because like we said before, this is going to be the, the brought together by Satan himself and, and it's going to be a leader that is going to be over this and he's going to eventually require you to worship him. Now one of the definitions of worship is to depend on something or someone for your well being. [00:23:37] Well if I have to submit to some type of number in order to participate in the, in the society, to be able to shop, have a job, buy goods and what I need. Then if I have to pledge allegiance to something or someone, that would constitute worship, if you think about it. [00:23:58] And so we have to understand that can't be something that God would have us be a part of unless Jesus Christ is the one in charge of it. [00:24:08] The title of this show is the Destiny of Russia and Vladimir Putin. [00:24:14] So we've talked about what Russia is going to be doing here, but we're going to also need to find out what Vladimir Putin is going to be doing. [00:24:27] And so we'll be back, we'll talk about that.

[00:25:05] In our fast paced world, we're constantly bombarded with news reports from around the world. [00:25:11] But none of those traditional news sources understand what's going on in the world from a biblical perspective. [00:25:18] So here at an amazing thing, we'll bring to you special reports that we like to call moments of clarity. [00:25:26] When events happen around the world that relate to Bible prophecy and where we are on God's prophetic time clock. We will bring you that report and explain how it does. [00:25:37] So subscribe to an amazing thing and you won't miss a thing. [00:25:52] Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we're back and we're going to talk now about Vladimir Putin. [00:25:59] From the clues that the Bible gives us now, we know that Vladimir Putin's name is not in the Bible. So this is speculation, but we can know what the destiny of Russia is going to be and determine what the leader is going to do or what he's not going to do. [00:26:15] And so let's go ahead and talk about that as well as the army that Russia is going to be a main participant in how we get there. At the battle of Armageddon, in my opinion, the world become united in the prophecies of the Bible. We know that there are certain nations that have veto power and we have UN Security Council and these kinds of things. Those things will have to be transformed in order to be able to accomplish what from my opinion, what the Bible says, you know, the UN and the veto power have to be transformed or abolished. [00:26:56] The Power of Russia would have to be eliminated, and their power to veto things would have to be eliminated. Therefore, the power figure like Vladimir Putin would have to be eliminated. Somehow the one world government and these countries that make up the powers that will come together will have to trust their leaders that are involved in this. And I really don't see that happening. As long as Vladimir Putin is the leader in Russia, we know that the European powers and leaders would never trust him. He's a threat to Europe and their natural resources, the pipeline, he's in control of that. [00:27:43] And so that would be something certainly, that they would have to consider, allowing Russia, with him as the leader, to join in. And I just, I certainly don't see them trusting him to be able to do that in what they're trying to build. [00:27:58] We know that the Bible tells us that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. [00:28:03] So certainly this will have to be dealt with somehow. [00:28:09] Vladimir Putin allegedly ordered the bomb to be placed on the, on the plane of Yevgeny Prigozhin. I hope I'm pronouncing his name, but we all remember that, that whole thing. He was the guy who defied Vladimir Putin and had a convoy of tanks, things heading toward Moscow before he stopped. [00:28:29] And so we know that, or it's alleged that Vladimir Putin was the one who assassinated him by placing that bomb on his plane. [00:28:38] Now, that man was a very, very respected man, and respected by the generals in the Russian army as well as the mercenary groups of Russia. And those men have not forgotten, nor have they forgiven Vladimir Putin for that. And they want to avenge and have the opportunity to avenge their friend and what Vladimir Putin did to him. Now, with that being said, Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine is, was underestimated the Ukrainian people, and he's failing in that award, looks like. And quickly and decisively have reduced the fear of the people of Russia for him. Like, he's made so many mistakes by going into Ukraine. [00:29:26] He doesn't look like the leader and the strategist that they thought he was and the ruthless KGB agent that they thought he was. So he's become very, very vulnerable. [00:29:40] And now that he's sending so many troops to their death in the Ukraine war, some say 30 or 40,000 soldiers a month are being killed there. [00:29:50] I doubt that even they have fear for him and the protection he has around him and the ability he has to, to defend himself. [00:30:03] I, I just see people getting to where they're sick and tired of dealing with him. And I don't see this leader being Someone that the European Union, which will become the Horon Empire, will trust and put in a position where most of the army will be in his hands. And when we say that, that's what the Bible says, because the bulk of the army will be Gog Magog, Magog and Tuba Roche, and all those nations of the former Soviet Union and Russia. [00:30:35] So Vladimir Putin wants to see a return of the Soviet Union, which is not prophesied in the Bible. So we know that he's never going to give up on that mission. But I don't see it. Therefore, in my opinion, from what we see and what we know and what we talked about in this lesson, Vladimir Putin is not long for this world. [00:30:55] And so Vladimir Putin is a man of the sword. [00:30:59] The Bible says, he who lives by the sword will die by the sword. [00:31:03] And so that gives us an idea of what will happen to him. [00:31:08] And so, and that also is in the very near future, it's going to be so quick because the wrapping up things and when we see the timeline, we will have a future show called the Timeline of these Future Events so that we can know that we are certainly on that timeline. [00:31:25] Time is getting short. [00:31:27] So for what the Bible is prophesied, once the World Union, which is a Europe, European Union, along with Russia and other countries make up the reborn Holy Roman Empire. And we're going to talk about that in a future lesson, too. So we're just getting started here in these, all these countries, so we pretty much know what is going to happen. [00:31:48] And we'll have to add to this by future shows. And like I said, we don't want to give you too much to where it's hard to follow along. And as we go along, we'll add a little more and a little more and you'll be able to follow along here. But my conclusion is, again, Vladimir Putin is not long for this world. [00:32:08] And so I think that we're going to see that in a very, very, very near future. [00:32:14] And so that's some of the things we've discussed in our shows. And, and like I said, these may be things you never heard before, but we're gonna have to cover these things, add a little bit, and remember, we're gonna talk about these anywhere you receive your audio, podcast, video content. [00:32:37] We'll, we are on there and we're constantly adding those every day.
