Putin is the 'Most Dangerous Man' in the World

We are watching Russia closely because many prophecy watchers believe that Ezekiel 38-39 speak of a coalition that one day will come against Israel.  That coalition will be led by Russia and will include Iran, Turkey and some North African Muslim nations.

Putin may turn out to fill the role of Gog of Magog...or he may not.  If he doesn't fill it, he certainly is a foreshadowing of the man who will.

Garry Kasparov: Putin is 'the most dangerous man' in the world and a bigger threat to the U.S. than the Islamic State

Arguably the world's best chess player ever, Garry Kasparov is on a new mission. He hopes to convince the world that the biggest threat to global unrest is not the Islamic State, al-Qaida or North Korea. Instead it is Vladimir Putin, Russia's president from 2000 to 2008 and then again from 2012 to today.

In an interview with Yahoo News and Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga, Kasparov outlined his reasons for believing that Putin should be what keeps the world up at night. He chided President Barack Obama for being too late in addressing Putin's aggression in Ukraine — ultimately annexing Crimea. And while he views the president's speech at the United Nations — calling Russia's invasion into Ukraine  and ideology of "might makes right" backward —he still believes that actions speak louder than words. Kasparov has extremely harsh words for what he views as European indifference to Putin's actions, and he compares the world's complacency with the lead-up to World War II.

Kasparov calls the Islamic State militant group (also known as ISIL and ISIS) a diversion for the world to focus on. He finds it hypocritical that the U.S. and other Western allies have agreed to supply Syrian rebels opposed to IS, while refusing Ukraine's similar request.

Regarding the current sanctions imposed on Russia, Kasparov believes that at some point they will hurt not only the Russian economy, but also Putin and his inner circle. However, for that to happen, he believes the sanctions will have to be in place through at least March 2015. He adds that Putin will use Russia's vast supply of natural gas as leverage ahead of what he calls the "upcoming cold winter," threatening to shut down supplies to Europe and other former Soviet republics and satellite nations. Kasparov fears that the threat will be enough to persuade an easing of sanctions. He also believes Putin is telling his inner circle of Russia's richest and most powerful business leaders, who are facing the ramifications of stiff sanctions that the western governments "will blink.  As before, they will capitulate.  We'll get what we need." Kasparov believes that Putin is calling the world's bluff. "He is playing poker while everyone else is playing chess."

Putin is playing poker while the rest of the world is playing chess...that's good.

He brings up some interesting points.  Why is The West so willing to supply arms to militias that are willing to fight ISIS...but NOT willing to give arms to the Ukrainian army in their fight against Russia?  However, please remember that Obama DID send the Ukrainian army some sleeping bags....so that should qualify as military aid.  "Sleep tight, don't let Putin's army bite!"

Poor Obama.  He just can't seem to do anything right!  He seems to have screwed up almost everything he has touched...Iraq, Egypt, Syria, ObamaCare, Russia, ISIS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, border security, Ebola response, ...and I'm sure there is a bunch more I'm forgetting.

Just maybe, being a community organizer was NOT enough job training to be the Leader of the Free World.

Could it be that the world's problems are soon going to become so large and so complex that it's going to take some type of super-human man with super-human answers to actually solve them?

Could it be that the stage is being set for the Antichrist to show up on scene and calm a frantic world....who are still looking for some valid answers as to how 300,000,000+ Christians all simply vanished from earth?

Could it be that the world is falling head first into the most tumultuous days that planet earth has EVER seen!

"If those days were not cut short, no flesh would survive." said Jesus.  And of course those days of Tribulation will be cut short by Jesus return to earth.

Certainly we live in exciting times!

And finally,  just imagine if WE are the final generation...the generation that Paul spoke of in 1 Thessalonians, "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever."

Amen!  Come Lord Jesus!  We are ready for you to come and call us into the clouds!
