Oh my goodness.
I just meant that Putin is being Putin, and showing a hint at his plans to take over the BRICS. A stepping stone in his view to taking over the world. For the good of mother Russia of course!
BRICS is just an economic group, they are dedicated to setting up their own currency at some point, and meanwhile their big thing is getting their money and their economies away from American (former Petro Dollar) control and sanctions.
My main point is that he's envisioning a form of Parliament in which he (or Russia, in his head, one and the same) control the biggest chunk of the economic pie, away from the oversight of America (sanctions) and allowing free trade within their group and later as other nations join, within the larger group. Right now Russia is chairing the group but as you can see Putin has bigger plans- if it's a Parliament, then someone is leading it and gets to boss the others around. Guess who Russia/Putin has in mind.
Whoever controls the money controls the nations that use money. Which is how the Petrodollar scheme worked.
Putin and Xi of China work together on all kinds of things to remove American dominance because the 2 of them think they can each use the other and then stab the other one in the back. It's how Russia and China always work together- eg when they were both communists. There was Chinese communists, and Russian communists and both versions cooperated when they had to against the West, but there was a LOT of infighting, and still is.
This is why they work together in the BRICS as well as the SCO Shanghai Cooperation Organization (NATO for Nasties) or the recent news article about the Moon plans. Always together, secretly jostling each other for dominance behind the curtain while presenting a united front against the west. Mudwrestlers.
But to clear something up.
BRICS are not the 10 kings, at least not right now, and maybe they never are. Depends on who or what the 10 kings turns out to be.
Putin isn't Gog - at least not yet - we can't know for sure who Gog is until the time of Ezek 38. Might be him, might be his successor, who knows. One thing I do know is that Medvedev WON'T be Gog. Some teachers in the west assume he's the next leader after Putin but he's always acted as Putin's puppet even when he assumed power so that Putin could go in again afterwards (Term limits even limit Putin at times) - think of him as Obama/Putin and Biden/Medvedev.
BRICS as far as Putin is concerned is a handy dandy means to an end. World domination (it's almost like an episode of Pinky and the Brain)
- Pinky: “Gee Brain, what are we gonna do tonight?” Brain: “The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!”
Because of the BRICS dedication to removing the Petrodollar (which Biden effectively did for them by not remembering to renew that deal with the Saudis) this gives Putin a chance to put the squeeze on the West, with Putin issuing sanctions against NATO and the West (including Western Europe).
At least that is how Putin sees it.
But we know a few things he doesn't. He or whoever is leading the Russian alliance, along with Iran, Turkey and the others, will meet the end of their plans for world domination when God deals with them during Ezek 38. Whenever that takes place.
All this does with BRICS is help Putin financially (which he needs) to finish what he started in the Ukraine invasion. It makes trading easier within the BRICS, evading sanctions. And eventually it finishes the American dollar as the world reserve currency. Somebody recently mentioned that some of these BRICS nations have been selling off all their Western holdings (before the dollar tanks I suppose)
This is also why you see the Saudis very angry with Biden because as usual, Biden has mishandled them from the start of his term and truthfully from the start of OBAMAS first term!!! The Saudis don't like the way Obama/Biden have pandered to Iran. The Saudis joined BRICS earlier this year - to keep a close eye on Iran and be in on the action of any new world currency, and quietly purposefully did NOT remind Biden to renew the Petrodollar agreement. They have taken sides and it's not with the USA. They actually fear that Sanctions could bite them if they anger America at some point.
@Tall Timbers has been making that point for some years now and he is absolutely right.
The US dollar has to be backed with something. It used to be Gold, but since the Nixon era it's been OIL, SAUDI oil. That is the valuable basis for the dollar. Now it's blowing in the breeze, not tethered by any valuable item, not gold, not oil, since that agreement died last month.
So that is all that Putin is up to with BRICS.
But the fact that it's happening as the US dollar is waning-
@PaidInFull could explain this better- means that we are seeing the inevitable fall of the West- the weakening of the old system, allowing some of the furniture to move around behind the curtain ready for the Tribulation period.
As many a prophecy teacher says, America isn't mentioned in Bible prophecy. While that is true, the absence of someone doesn't mean they aren't there, it just means they aren't a part of Israel's history in any big way that gets mentioned. However it does bring up the fact that nobody stands in the way of the Russian invasion of Israel. Tarshish and her cubs, Sheba and Dedan merely ask if Russia and company are on a looting expedition to plunder Israel.
As far as it's other prophetic implications, I don't know how it fits. All I know is that I pay attention to whatever Russia is doing because it's usually not what the western media says and one of these fine bright sunny days, Putin or whoever is leading Russia at the time will have a thought and Ezek 38 will happen.
