Gay Isn't Okay in Russia



Russian police arrest a protester at a gay rally

In Russia, if you want to be gay, then you'd better stay in the closet, or else.

MOSCOW (AP) - Kissing his boyfriend during a protest in front of Russia's parliament earned Pavel Samburov 30 hours of detention and the equivalent of a $16 fine on a charge of "hooliganism." But if a bill that comes up for a first vote later this month becomes law, such a public kiss could be defined as illegal "homosexual propaganda" and bring a fine of up to $16,000.

Rev. Sergiy Rybko, who certainly understands that political correctness isn't something the clergy have to be concerned with in Vladimir Putin's new Russia, followed up with this interesting tidbit: "Until this scum gets off of Russian land, I fully share the views of those who are trying to purge our motherland of it."

Rybko probably won't be invited to give the benediction at any future presidential inaugurations in America, certainly not after the White House Presidential Inaugural Committee revealed that Atlanta pastor Louie Giglio "decided" not to give the benediction at Barack Obama's recent inauguration. The reason why? It turns out that some liberal "watchdog" organization discovered that Giglio declared homosexuality a sin in a sermon he delivered about 20 years ago.

More likely, Giglio was told to get lost after his 20 year-old sermon that condemned homosexuality surfaced. Someone named Addie Whisenant, a member of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, admitted as much with this statement: "We were not aware of Pastor Giglio's past comments at the time of his selection, and they don't reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this inaugural." (The Berean Call, 1/21/2013)

In Russia, they'll be celebrating diversity sans gays and lesbians. Many Russian lawmakers, including President Putin, are concerned about Russia's declining birthrates, and they believe that homosexuality contributes to that decline. They want those birthrates to rise and they feel that condemning and outlawing homosexuality will strongly discourage young people from choosing "alternative" lifestyles.

Russia's crackdown on homosexuality has prophetic significance. Biblical prophecy reveals that Russia is going to become a global superpower in the last days and we're seeing the fulfillment of that. And religion is going to play a significant part in Russia's return to global prominence. Nearly 2,600 years ago, the ancient Hebrew prophet Daniel prophesied of a powerful northern kingdom (Daniel 11) that would rise in the end times and threaten the entire world. Daniel's prophecy also reveals that the dreaded Antichrist will eventually come from this nation. I believe that nation is Russia.

Under Putin, Russia is greatly expanding its military and nuclear capabilities while the United States, under President Obama, is emasculating its military and disposing of its nuclear weapons. Furthermore, while the U.S. and many western nations chase the pipe dream of clean green energy, Russia has a plan to take control of the world's fossil fuel supply through its energy giants such as Gazprom and Rosneft.

When green energy inevitably fails to deliver on its promises to rid the world of its dependence on fossil fuels, the Russians will be in a position to control the world's energy supply. The nation that ultimately controls the world's fossil energy will control the world.

And so, while leftism relentlessly destroys the United States like a methodical cancer, the Russians are on the rise politically, economically and militarily. And the Russians want nothing to do with homosexuality. As far as Putin is concerned, the western world can have it. And soon enough, the Russians will have the western world as well.
