It’s been nearly impossible to find anyone able to justify Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. And then there’s Pat Robertson.

During a recent appearance on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s The 700 Club, which the 91-year-old televangelist returned to as a guest after hosting for 55 years, Robertson said Putin invaded Ukraine because’ he’s “being compelled by God,” per the Washington Post.

“I think you can say, well, Putin’s out of his mind. Yes, maybe so,” he said. “But at the same time, he’s being compelled by God. He went into the Ukraine, but that wasn’t his goal. His goal was to move against Israel, ultimately.”

Gog and Magog.

The retired religious talking head cited verses from the book of Ezekiel and suggested that Ukraine is a “staging ground” for an Armageddon battle, insisting that “God is getting ready to do something amazing.” Ukraine has already suffered 1,500 civilian and military casualties as a result of Putin’s invasion, per U.S. officials.

Robertson—who once inaccurately predicted the world would end in 2007— has made his fair share of controversial and outright absurd statements in the past, as the former Republican presidential candidate said in 1980 that “by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on the world.”

He might be correct. The end is coming.

Recently, he claimed that Donald Trump would win the 2020 presidential election, and that it would immediately be followed by an asteroid hitting earth—both of which certainly did not happen.

In Ahmadiyya

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (d.1908), the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement, identified Gog and Magog with the European powers that had emerged from the Slavic and Germanic peoples respectively, with particular reference to their political duplicity and shattering of world peace.[68][69][70][71] Ahmadiyya exegeses draw upon the etymological connection of the Arabic cognate Yaʾjūj wa-Maʾjūj with the underlying themes of "blazing fire", "hastiness" and "boiling water" to what is viewed as the superlative industrial use of fire and steam by these peoples and to their restless political character.[71][72] According to these teachings, the conflict between Russia and the United States as two superpowers, or the militant rivalry between the communist and capitalist systems and their impact over the nations of the world, is thus seen as having occurred in accordance with prophecies concerning Gog and Magog.[72][73] These powers cannot be defeated through military force and are to be overcome through prayer and divine intervention.[74] Islam is then seen as that which alone would succeed in bringing people of different nations together as per the Quran (18:99).[68]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gog_and_Magog

In the early 19th century, some Hasidic rabbis identified the French invasion of Russia under Napoleon as "The War of Gog and Magog".[137] But as the century progressed, apocalyptic expectations receded as the populace in Europe began to adopt an increasingly secular worldview.[138] This has not been the case in the United States, where a 2002 poll indicated that 59% of Americans believed the events predicted in the Book of Revelation would come to pass.[139] During the Cold War the idea that Soviet Russia had the role of Gog gained popularity, since Ezekiel's words describing him as "prince of Meshek" – rosh meshek in Hebrew – sounded suspiciously like Russia and Moscow.[18] Even some Russians took up the idea, apparently unconcerned by the implications ("Ancestors were found in the Bible, and that was enough"), as did Ronald Reagan.[140][141]

Some post-Cold War millenarians still identify Gog with Russia, but they now tend to stress its allies among Islamic nations, especially Iran.[142] For the most fervent, the countdown to Armageddon began with the return of the Jews to Israel, followed quickly by further signs pointing to the nearness of the final battle – nuclear weapons, European integration, Israel's reunification of Jerusalem in the Six Day War in 1967, and America's wars in Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf.[143] According to an unconfirmed report, US President George W. Bush, in the prelude to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, told French President Jacques Chirac, "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East." Bush is said to have continued, "This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase His people's enemies before a new age begins."[144] Officials from the Bush Administration claim there is no record of this conversation and that making such references, "doesn't sound at all like Bush", and French officials on the call have similarly claimed to have not heard any such remarks.[145]

In the Islamic apocalyptic tradition, the end of the world would be preceded by the release of Gog and Magog, whose destruction by God in a single night would usher in the Day of Resurrection.[146] Reinterpretation did not generally continue after Classical times, but the needs of the modern world have produced a new body of apocalyptic literature in which Gog and Magog are identified as Communist Russia and China.[147] One problem these writers have had to confront is the barrier holding Gog and Magog back, which is not to be found in the modern world: the answer varies, some writers saying that Gog and Magog were the Mongols and that the wall is now gone, others that both the wall and Gog and Magog are invisible.[148]
 
Gog and Magog, in the Hebrew Bible, the prophesied invader of Israel and the land from which he comes, respectively; or, in the Christian Scriptures (New Testament), evil forces opposed to the people of God. Although biblical references to Gog and Magog are relatively few, they assumed an important place in apocalyptic literature and medieval legend. They are also discussed in the Qurʾān (see also Yājūj and Mājūj).

Revelation was added to the Bible to scare the shit out of Christians. I'm not buying it. God isn't that petty or vicious.

I understand you but you gotta understand where they are coming from.

This is the very final ending according to the Biblical prophecy. Gotta admit how eerie it is. How coincidental it is.

I was raised a Fundie. Gog and Magog was one of the major prophecies in our belief system.

Gog and Magog refers to the enemies against whom God will wage an apocalyptic war at the dawn of the messianic age. The wars of Gog and Magog have come to be understood as essential to the Jewish eschatological vision of the end of days, a final battle between good and evil that will usher in a period of eternal peace.

This one is from a Jewish site.

What's coincidental? Our history books are full of war, peaceful times are the blank pages between chapters.

Christian groups have been predicting the End of the World for the last 2000 years all due to Revelations....which has nothing to do with Jesus because it's contrary to the words of Jesus.

Despite this warning, at various points in Jewish history, Gog and Magog have been identified with different global powers whose conflicts were believed — or hoped — to usher in the messianic age. In the 19th century, some leaders believed the Napoleonic wars against Russia were the war against Gog and Magog. Nevertheless, as with most issues relating to the Messiah and the End of Days, contemporary Jewish theology does not dwell much on the matter.

Just giving you a background.
