Putin’s splendor or Putin’s border ?

What is going on in Russia: Changes in the Constitution – or worship?
If you are familiar with the third chapter of the book of Daniel in the Bible, you know what “the golden image” is all about.

– Radio Echo Moscow did let the political commentator and author Stanislav Belkovsky demonstrate a certain ambivalence in the face of the referendum about changes in the Russian Constitution, culminating yesterday.
Thus, he performed in two different roles, both as Stanislav A and as only Stanislav, and he eventually came up with something useful, since the discussion involved three major issues that the changes entail:

  • the “zero-ing” of Putin’s terms of office, so that he could theoretically remain in power until 2036,
  • – the introduction of the word “God” into the Constitution and
  • – – the emphasis on marriage as a union between Man and Woman.

Both Stanislav A and Stanislav were skeptical towards – and sometimes very critical towards – Putin. But Stanislav A believed in any case that one should go and vote for the changes, because after all and after all, Putin is a “president of freedom”, which is a guarantee for freedom of speech, yes “..the people are the only Source of power in Russia!“


But Stanislav said that one should go and vote against the proposed amendments to the Constitution.
Why?
Well: “Vladimir Putin doesn’t recognize the Source of power in our country as anything stemming from the People, but from himself “

If so , he is indeed echoing the mentality of the babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar: “ Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?” (Book of Daniel 4:30)

If not anything even worse …

The ram struck back ..

US – and Trump’s – drone attack on Iranian security chief Qasem Soleimani the other day could provide a contemporary illustration of Daniel’s vision about the ram and the goat in Daniel’s eighth chapter:

 “Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.”    – Book of Daniel 8:3 -7

The interpretation of the vision that Daniel received is, that the goat is Greece, and the ram is Media and Persia, or Iran. The goat comes from the west, “without touching the ground”. This seems to be more true about Donald Trump than about Alexander the Great.
But it also says that “ there was no power in the ram to stand ” before the goat.
