Biblical prophecy reveals that in the very last days directly preceding the return of Jesus Christ, a global government is going to arise that will feature 10 nation groups headed by seven powerful rulers. (Daniel 7:7, Revelation 13:1, Revelation 17:3)
Those seven rulers will be under the authority of a supreme global ruler who the bible identifies as the Antichrist. (Revelation 17:11) Furthermore, according to biblical prophecy, an extremely large and powerful nation that the bible describes as a northern kingdom (Daniel 11) is going to become the dominant nation of this world government. And, according to prophecy, the Antichrist will come from this nation.
But before this happens, several events must still take place on earth including (1) the reunification of the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church and (2) the realignment of 193 world nations into 10 nation groups. While the former event is closer to happening than the latter event, both are going to occur in the next 50 to 100 years.
But what does the reunion of the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church have to do with a world government? Because the dreaded Antichrist is going to be both a religious figure and a political figure as well. And he will most likely be a Roman Catholic pope.
How do we know that the Antichrist is going to come from the Roman Catholic Church? From a vision that the apostle John received from God in about 90 A.D. while he was in exile from Rome on the desolate island of Patmos.
Here's what John saw and recorded: "I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries." (Revelation 17:3-4)
John also saw this written on her forehead: "Mystery, Babylon the Great, The Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth." (Revelation 17:5)
Then John revealed that this mysterious woman was symbolic for a world city that is surrounded by seven hills. (Revelation 17:9) There are only two cities in the world that are surrounded by seven hills; Rio de Janeiro that is located in Brazil, and Rome that is located in Italy and is the world headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.
Furthermore, the woman's colors--purple and scarlet--are the colors worn by the Roman Catholic priesthood. And "Mystery Babylon" is a moniker that the Catholic Church has historically used to describe herself. When John recorded this vision, the Catholic Church didn't exist and wouldn't come into existence for another 250 years.
And so, John's prophecy reveals that the Roman Catholic Church is going to eventually become partners with a global government that he symbolically described as a scarlet beast with seven heads and 10 horns. But where will the Antichrist come from? What is the identity of the northern kingdom described by the Hebrew prophet Daniel 2,600 years ago?
I believe that nation is Russia because the bible always places Israel at the center of its geographical map. The nation located to the furthest north of Israel is Russia that is rapidly rising as a global power. And the ancient prophet Ezekiel, who lived over 2,500 years ago, also prophesied that this nation he named as Gog (Ezekiel 38) would rise up in the last days to become a world power. Who is Gog? Gog was an ancient name for the Caucasian tribe of Rosh that many modern Russians are descended from.
But how does this tie in with the dreaded Antichrist? Because when the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church finally reunite after being separated for 1,000 years, the prophetic door will be opened for this man to rise to world power through Rome.
The Antichrist is going to be a religious figure as well as a political leader. He will be a counterfeit Jesus Christ who will be embraced by the world. (Revelation 13:8) And he will possess supernatural powers that will convince many that he's divine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin isn't the Antichrist. But he's a prototype. He's a ruthless man who destroys his enemies and he believes that compromise and capitulation are signs of weakness. He aims to make Russia the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth in place of the United States that is rapidly declining economically, militarily and morally.
Recently, Putin sent fighter jets equipped with nuclear cruise missiles that invaded American-controlled airspace over Guam in an attempt to provoke the United States. Certainly, Putin no longer fears America or its military.

Here's one more item of interest concerning Putin; he's a devout Orthodox Christian. Therefore he believes that Russia has a religious duty to become the leader of the new world. He desperately wants to make that a reality. And in the not-to-distant future, one of his successors is indeed going to make that happen.
