Comparing “Russian World” Teaching to Mystery Babylon: Part 2 of 2

Last updated on: March 17, 2022 at 12:11 am By Kermit Zarley

In my previous post, Part 1 of this subject, I quoted at length from the recent “A Declaration on the ‘Russian World’ (Ruskii Mir) Teaching.” Signed by over 500 church leaders around the world, it condemns the growing teaching called “Russian World” in which people like Russia’s President Vladimir Putin call for the formation an ultra, ethno-nationalism that would go even beyond the geography occupied by the former Soviet Union to replicate the Russian Empire of medieval times, which included...

Russia’s Lavrov Says U.S. Is the “Steamroller”

Last updated on: March 16, 2022 at 12:37 pm By Kermit Zarley

There is much diplomatic effort going on right now about Putin’s War in Ukraine. Even Ukraine President Zelenskyy is sounding a bit optimistic about it. Yet in his virtual speech to the U.S. Congress today, he called on U.S. President Biden to be a “leader of peace” while also pleading again for the West, led by the U.S., to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The U.S. creating a no-fly zone over Ukraine in this war would effectively be widening... Read more

Who Are Angels?

Last updated on: March 13, 2022 at 10:46 pm By Kermit Zarley

The Bible has many narratives about angels appearing to humans and sometimes conversing with them. However, there are many questions that people have about angels that the Bible does not answer or provide information about. Here are some of my beliefs about angels that I have gleaned from the Bible: 1. Angels are spirit beings who, like God, do not have physical bodies (Hebrews 1.14). 2. As spirit beings, angels do not die. Earthly flesh dies; spirit does not (James... Read more

Sounds Like Putin Wants Out

Last updated on: March 13, 2022 at 4:07 pm By Kermit Zarley

Russia and Ukraine held high-level talks today and, in contrast to all other such meetings, which have been many in only 18 days of war, both sides indicated they made progress. Under several false pretenses, on February 24th Russian troops amassed on the the mutual invaded and attacked the unprovoked, innocent, democratic “nation,” which Putin denies. The result has been that 2.5 million Ukrainians, almost all being women and children, have fled to neighboring countries to escape the path of... Read more

Putin Is right Now the Greatest Advertisement for Democracy

Last updated on: March 12, 2022 at 7:10 pm By Kermit Zarley

Putin’s War in Ukraine, and many things associated with it, is accomplishing exactly the opposite of his goal of promoting his view of authoritarian government in Russia. Vladimir Putin has given many speeches and written essays declaring how much he absolutely detests democracy and its human rights. Putin may be winning the war in Ukraine, but he is losing the war of authoritarianism versus democracy. And this loss will become greatly magnified when the Russian people eventually find out the...

My Grandpa Was Right: “You Can’t Trust the Russians”

Last updated on: March 9, 2022 at 11:41 am By Kermit Zarley

I posted three weeks ago, on February 19, what my Grandpa said to me when the Russians shot Sputnik up into earth orbit on October 4, 1957, “You can’t trust the Russians,” even though we were looking at it on TV. He was wrong about sputnik. Of course, those were the early years of the Cold War, and my grandpa had good reasons for believing that. Turns out my grandpa was right about right now. Early last year, the Russian... Read more

Three Studies Confirm COVID Originated in Wuhan Market

Last updated on: March 8, 2022 at 1:52 pm By Kermit Zarley

Three new, convincing studies support the original thesis that the coronavirus designated COVID-19 originated in the wet market named Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in the mega city Wuhan (population 11 million people) in China. This is what I documented in my book, Moses Predicted COVID-19. These studies involved multiple scientists including some from other countries besides the U.S., including one from China. Three Americans involved in both studies were Dr. Michael Worebey of Arizona State University, virologist Joel Wertheim of... Read more
