Putin HAS experienced God's saving grace. Aside from building some 200 Christian churches in and around Moscow, they've rebuilt that huge cathedral (Храм Христа Спасителья) in Moscow which the commies tore down and made into a swimming pool complex in 22/23, take a look and think real hard and see if you can guess, between the US and Russia, whose side God is more likely to be on at this point in time:
While that is good, God’s Will may depend on what putin does within the next 72 hours for much if not all of mankind. Where so-called leaders lead does create consequences. No doubt America is blessed with a zer0 but putin is not the answer to prayer either.
The mafia has financed church construction and parks too. But I don’t think that is the path to winning God’s favor.
It’s called payback for the Orthodox church being merely a branch of the KGB/FSB for decades. For centuries, the Tsar ruled WITH the Orthodox church, like the later Roman Caesars ruled WITH the Roman church, aka the Pope. Nothing but religion, NOT relationship.
