Local clergy affix letter calling for end to Ukraine war to Jerusalem Russian church

[SAT]

Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze clergymen and women affixed a letter to the outer wall of Jerusalem’s Russian Orthodox Holy Trinity Cathedral, beseeching Patriarch Kirill to ask Vladimir Putin to “take immediate steps to de-escalate the conflict, and seek a peaceful resolution to it.”

The organizers wanted to give the letter to local Russian Orthodox Church officials directly, but were told by the clergy that they were in prayer and could not receive it.
The posting of the letter in Jerusalem was meant to evoke the legend of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg in 1517, according to one of the organizers.

The letter and Monday’s public event in Jerusalem’s Moscow Square were initiated by Rabbi Yonatan Neril, founder and director of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development.

“I believed it was important that there be a public event of religious leaders in the Holy Land affirming the importance of peace, and publicly calling on Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church to speak with President Putin to seek peace,” Neril told The Times of Israel.

Vladimir Putin’s Holy Man, Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, Pushed for the ‘Eradication’ of Ukraine (thedailybeast.com)

“If we see [Ukraine] as a threat, we have the right to use force to ensure the threat is eradicated,” Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill recently preached to his church’s 90 million faithful followers. “We have entered into a conflict which has not only physical but also metaphysical significance. We are talking about human salvation, something much more important than politics.”
The wartime coalition between Putin and his patriarch is called symphonia, an ironclad alliance between church and state that assures reciprocal reverence, with neither institution presuming to dominate the other. Theologians have spent centuries bickering over the fine points, which have now impaled 44 million Ukrainians as the victims of a bloodthirsty land-grab that Putin and the Patriarch have packaged as a holy campaign to cleanse souls
To be sure, the only lingering question is how far into repression and hideous cruelty can Putin and his patriarch descend before the means no longer justify the ends.

IMVHO this has many statements(Putin & Kirill) one could really stop and think about.
Pope Kirill is talking about eradicating Ukraine because of sin!
Weighing a government and religious alliance. History tells us how that ends.

And Putin

“A new world order is born before our very eyes,” is how Putin described the relationship in a statement published at the start of the war, later warning those who disagreed with him “inflict maximum damage on people.” He said: “The Russian people will be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and spit them out like a midge that accidentally flew into their mouths.”

From another thread

Dugin, who has long pressed for the reabsorption of Ukraine, is sometimes called “Putin’s philosopher.” In 2014, Dugin said: “Only after restoring the Greater Russia that is the Eurasian Union, we can become a credible global player.” The Ukrainian revolt against Russian influence that year he called “a coup d’état by the United States,” a Western attempt to stop “the advance of Russian integration.”

Wow. I think that the statement by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church says something I never thought I'd hear a "Christian" person say. He has shown himself to be a Putin pawn which really is not new news. He will now come under condemnation from the rest of the Orthodox Church branches. It will be interesting to see what Francis the Argentinian Bishop of Rome has to say about this. It took years for the Orthodox Churches to come into fellowship with Rome. I think we have just seen an end to that.

I can remember reading the Tim LaHaye series Left Behind when it came out in the 90s. It's pretty amazing to see how accurate a lot of his scenarios were as we watch it all being played out.

Anyone else feel like everything, just everything in the prophetic realm has accelerated like a runner on steroids?

The banning of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church reflects the ongoing tensions between it and the Russian Orthodox Church.

Yep. I keep thinking of Pastor JD's teaching on Jesus saying, "I come quickly," * with the word "quickly" being tachus. Tachus >>>tachometer>>>revving up.

I remember that teaching by Pastor JD. That tachometer line is definitely up in the red now.
Thanks Flaxen. I was honored that Andy asked me to help. Being old and retired makes me pretty available.

In an article posted in here somewhere, years ago, Kirill was quoted as saying the US was the AC and that Putin was sent by God

Sad, as their actions are actually doing the complete opposite.

The Russian Patriarch is in Putin's pocket. End of story.
