I have written extensively about the Kings of the East coming against the West, Israel, and the United States in the last Great War or Armageddon. Most know the prophecy that the Antichrist will unite the West and Israel to stand against the Kings of the East in this final war (Revelation 16:13-16). Please see below, “An Open Letter to President Putin and President Zelenskyy,” I sincerely hoped through the giving up of some land for Russia’s land bridge, and the opportunity of NATO membership for Ukraine, then peace could be realized. However, I now see that both parties are not interested in peace, which will unfortunately push the prophetic timeline forward. The prophetic timeline is beginning to unfold when we see Russia trying to enlist other Eastern powers (or Kings) to support their undeclared war against Ukraine and the West. Mr. Putin has spoken to many foreign leaders along with those in his Bloc to win support for the undeclared war. The prophetic timeline is beginning to unfold when the West is wholeheartedly joining in the undeclared war against Russia by supplying advanced weapons, technology, and many crippling sanctions. The prophetic timeline is being aggressively pushed forward to fulfill the prophecy.

Although we haven’t seen the Kings of the East effectively come together yet, which would include Russia, we have seen their hatred against the West, Israel, and the United States for many years. We are not unfamiliar with the hatred from Iran, Iraq, Syria, and many other Eastern countries against the West, Israel, and the United States. We have seen Russia purchasing kamikaze drones from Iran in their fight against Ukraine. We have seen Russia making a direct appeal to the leaders of China and India to support their war effort. We have seen Russia, our old nemesis, viciously attack Ukraine randomly destroying hospitals, apartment buildings, and defenseless civilians. We have read the reports of rape, torture, and the mass burial sites of civilians. We have seen one Jewish man, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arrogantly stand against a much more formidable power. We have seen him miraculously unite the entire West in his fight against Russia. Amazingly, he has spoken to the United Nations, addressed the MPs at the British Parliament, both houses of the United States Congress, the Canadian Parliament, Germany’s Bundestag, Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, and many different world leaders. Many world leaders have also traveled to Ukraine to personally talk to him. Yes, the prophetic timeline is being pushed forward and the war has already begun.

Every believer is appalled at the tragedy taking place in Ukraine. Every time we hear of little children being hurt or killed our hearts are torn asunder. We have all prayed for the safety of their citizens with many taking them into their homes as refugees. We must not allow this tragedy to blind us to the prophetic timeline being pushed forward in our day. World War III is coming. Following the Western world in stumping for victory will not stop the war. Glorying in their victories and accomplishments will not stop the war. Devising new and more devious sanctions will not stop the war. Sending more advanced weapons will not stop the war. Winning a few victories on the battlefield will not stop the war. This war could go on for many years draining our resources and killing many more citizens or it could end abruptly with a nuclear holocaust. As a pastor and preacher of the Gospel for many years, my concern is your eternal well-being, that you will have the assurance of your salvation. My other concern is that you are not led astray by the sheer wickedness of our day or led to escape your reality altogether through some kind of Metaverse or alternate reality because you cannot take it anymore (See my latest book, “God’s Loving Pursuit” – A Prophecy about the Metaverse).

I am convinced that all sides of the conflict are not interested in listening to God alone. If they were truly listening to God, they would be seeking peace, contrary to its temporal cost. They would trust the Prince of Peace and His loving providence. On the other hand, all sides are trusting in their own ability to wage war with newer weapons, better tracking capabilities, and perhaps one day soon robotic weapons or soldiers. They trust in their increasing sanctions. They trust in the power to enlist the entire western world to destroy Russia and every other nation that comes against them. Unfortunately, what we are seeing is an increase in ruthlessness on both sides, even if their polished propaganda says otherwise. This undeclared war will have a profound effect on the psyche of the entire western world that’s been put on a war footing and a further turning away from God. We have already witnessed an increase in lawlessness beyond the pale. We have already witnessed an increase in perverted lifestyles. We have already witnessed an increase in witchcraft and demonism. We must no longer go down this path but seek peace and reconciliation, with both God and man.

Unfortunately, for many years now humanity has been going down this path and no longer trusting in God exclusively. It started in the schoolroom by allowing science, psychology, and the new philosophy to lead us to trust in ourselves for most of life. The Antichrist, soon to be revealed, will embrace all these disciplines leading the entire world to do the same. I have written previously about how the beastly system is already teaching its citizens to trust in everything to the exclusion of God. (See my article, “It’s Much Later Than You Think”). We must trust God for all of life. If we trusted God as a nation, we would only supply our neighbors with food, clothing, and shelter. We would not supply advanced weapons and godless sanctions to destroy their enemies. If we trusted God, we would pray about everything, especially before making important decisions. If we trusted God, then we would follow His law at all times even if it causes us to be rejected or hated by others. The law is clear, love your neighbor and do unto others as you would have them to do unto you (Matthew 7:12). The law is clear, seek peace even if you must turn the other cheek or go the extra mile (Matthew 5:38-42). To follow Christ in love takes a great deal of faith and trust in His loving providence.

I will conclude with the words of our Savior, the Prince of Peace, who said, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be children of our Father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:43-45). Dear children, especially in these uncertain days when the clock is clicking even faster, we must seek peace and not war. Help us, Oh Lord, to slow down the prophetic timeline.

An Open Letter to President Putin and President Zelenskyy

There is only one possible path to peace if either of you is interested in listening to a humble servant of our mighty God. The rift between you both is essentially land. You both require guarantees of the safety and sovereignty of your respective nations. The solution is easy if you are interested in listening, if not then world war is inevitable. Nobody in their right mind wants a world war waged with nuclear weapons, so I encourage you to listen. Russia and Ukraine both must be willing to give up something for this peace between your two nations, which will be a sigh of relief for the entire world. They too will be required to do something to cement the lasting peace, at least, for the foreseeable future.

Mr. Zelenskyy, you will be required to recognize that the vote taken by the people in the four areas under dispute is legal and binding, which would require you to extend an invitation to the citizens in those areas to leave immediately if they want their citizenship in the sovereign country of Ukraine. You would also have your soldiers to respectively accompany those who wish to leave. Now, Mr. Putin, you have won your long sought-after land bridge allowing your country to have direct access to the sea. If you sincerely want this peace agreement, you will grant Ukraine full sovereignty and put into writing that you will not block their entry into NATO along with the other nations in the area who are also seeking membership.

The land bridge will act as the permanent barrier that you wanted to safeguard your country from possible invasion. It will also allow you to embrace the Russian-speaking people living in the contested areas as part of Russia. I pray that you don’t take their welfare lightly but do your utmost to supply and care for their every need. Mr. Zelenskyy, you now have an opportunity to rebuild your country not for war, but for a lasting peace among all nations.

Finally, every nation that has imposed sanctions against Russia and its citizens would be reversed immediately along with opening all trade, which Russia would gladly follow. I will humbly conclude this peace plan with the words of our Lord and Savior who said, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).
