Could Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine Be A Fulfilment Of Biblical Prophecy?

The world hasn't recovered but is still grappling with the devastating effects of covid-19 pandemic, as the vaccines have so far flattered to deceive, having not provided the desired results to curtail or stop the deadly virus.

Alongside this unusual pandemic which brought the world to her bare knees, there have been many other strange and unusual occurrences, including unprecedented natural disasters, taking place in different parts of the world.

Now we have a full-blown war in our hands in Ukraine that appears to be edging towards the 3rd world war which has been much spoken about, so could this be a fulfilment of biblical prophecy?

Jesus said:

Matthew 24:6-7 (KJV)

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.


I believe it is, because the signs have it that these are surely the last days. It's for this very reason we've been preaching and rigorously warning people to repent, because the end is at the door and the day of Jesus' second coming is very near.

I hope that all these warnings would not be in vain, and you still find yourself get left behind, because then you'd only have yourself to blame.

God bless.

Almost every century of recorded human history has recorded war or rumour of war so how is it prophecy to say that something that has frequency will occur? Is it prophecy to say people will wake up tomorrow and the sun will rise?

Infact Jesus made it clear that those who use wars, earthquakes and disasters as sign of the end times are liars;

Read Matthew 24 v 4-8;
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.



Just imagine the false alarmists running amok on this platform busy claiming what Jesus said are “beginning of birth pains” to shout Jesus is coming soon. Stark displays of religiosity and thick ignorance.

Jesus clearly mentioned, these things are expected to happen AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALARMED. THAT IS NOT A SIGN OF THE END TO COME.

Study the scriptures and stop falling for these false alarmists. Haba!!!

Just practice righteousness while you set your eyes on the goal "christ and the kingdom"

There is nothing like fulfilment anywhere. Ukrainians will be so foolish and stupid if they said they aren't expecting this war or invasion from Russia.

OkCornel:
Matthew 24;
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.



Until these things happen, don’t bother yourself with these false alarmists claiming Jesus will come in their lifetime, just like the liars in the previous generations before them.

Million dollar question: Is the Holy place where the abomination of desolation spoken of by Jesus and Daniel already constructed? undecided

Is the abomination that causes desolation the same as the abomination of desolation?

Same way I would pity those who witnessed WW1 and WW2 and falsely claimed Jesus would return that period too.

You are doing the same thing here, and not ready to tell yourself the truth.

Calm down and ask yourself if Jesus would come before the abomination of desolation will occur.

Is the Holy place where this will occur even constructed yet?

These are Jesus’ words in Matthew 24. Well, unless you know something Jesus doesn’t know.

Both of you are delusional.

Its a simple question oga righteousness. Defend what you believe in so others who believe in your alarm can have a strong faith. "I really pity you" is not a reasonable answer. Remember people in 1900 also said 'jesus is coming soon' but we are in 2022 already. So explain like logically to convince your audience that Jesus is coming really soon and define the 'soon'. The man up there just told you from bible things that will happen before the real end time, so do same. Remember sounds of war is an old time event.

In verse 3, the disciples asked for the signs and Jesus listed "Deception" as one of the signs.

This was validated in the subsequent verses

Before Jesus Christ comes, The Beast must be revealed

First,the temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem

We all know the temple location is Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in Jerusalem....This mosque is the third holiest site in Islam. And for the Jews to rebuild the temple,they must destroy the mosque.

It is the Beast that would protect Israel by signing a 7 year treaty so they can rebuild the mosque, After rebuilding it,the Beast would now desolate the temple by entering it and proclaiming to be God himself.

Once the temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem,then we can start talking about End times

You mean the temple prophet Daniel, Jesus and Apostle Paul spoke of are figurative?

Daniel 9 v 27;
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven. ‘In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.


2 Thessalonians 2 v 1-4;

1.Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us
—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.

3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up IN GOD’S TEMPLE, proclaiming himself to be God

You are missing the definition of the "END" in itself. The "END" has a beginning which is why it's also refers to as Last days

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Very good. My focus is on the END of the age (a point in time) and not the last days (an era spanning over 2,000 years and counting)

Jesus has clarified all of that in Matthew 24.

Even Apostle Paul made it clear Jesus won’t come until the man of lawlessness is revealed, desecrates the temple (which is yet to be rebuilt as of today) and declares himself God.

2 Thessalonians 2 v 1-4.
