Rick Wiles says Russian is warring against ISIS and the United States is on the wrong side of this thing.
He goes on to relate what the Patriarc of a leading Cathedral down the street from the Kremlin said about America: (Tweet that!)
"The wickedness in America is evidence that the day of Armageddon is drawing near."(Tweet that!)
Mr. Wiles talks about what America is sowing and predicts other countries are getting ready to deal with what the United States has been doing, quoting the Bible verse Galatians 6:7:
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Rick Wiles says we (that is, America) has been sowing bombs, bloodshed, turmoil, and agony in other countries.
I'm not sure I'm in complete agreement with Rick Wiles for two reasons:
- Is he saying America should not have gone to war against terrorist Islamics? I would disagree with that. Evil must be fought and beat back relentlessly. Although under the present leadership we are not fighting to actually win that war.
- Secondly, isn't it possible a leader in Russian, even the leader of a very large and prominent Christian church just down the road from the Kremlin who has the ear of Putin, might have reasons -- such as political reasons -- to speak against America?
So I'm not sure how much to trust Mr. Wiles analysis. Do we believe what he's saying about Russia? Is Russian really on the right side? And could this Patriarc have been making a political statement (like turning people against America) from the pulpit? While I'm unsure what to think about these things, I do think Rick Wiles' message is interesting enough to share with you. Because he could be right.

I read an article where Putin said Russia is a Christian nation. Who would've thought the US under Obama and Russia would switch roles. Carole
