There is a scripture rejected by the Western churches which I believe called the Book of Enoch and it foretells someone so, so very much like Putin that I wonder whether the rest of what it says about him is about to come to pass. If you know the Book of Enoch you might know who I mean, described there. The 'dabela' in Ge'ez language (the language the scripture is preserved in by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church). The billy-goat among the predators, defending sheep but a bit more rough than a sheep and yet not like the predators. If this is Putin, and believe me, the description of the context of this foretold person and the person himself seems an exact match, then we are perhaps very close to seeing Christ return. Perhaps just years or a couple of decades away rather than several decades. It tells how the sheep cry our under constant attacks from the air and from around them and he defends them and then it says that all the predators, wolves, lions, hawks, eagles, they will all try to stop him and will hate him and fail to stop him, even though it seems like the whole world is turning on him as he defends the oppressed sheep from these predatory attackers. Then he will lift up his cry to heaven and the Lord will come down and save him in the eyes of the whole world. Then there will come the end and the powers of heaven allowing this oppression will be judged by the Lord. This prophecy ties in with the millennium rule of Christ because it comes a thousand years before the final judgement. Could this mean Putin will live to see Jesus come and that Jesus will be helping him by his coming? It seems a plausible interpretation of the prophecy to me. Jesus loved the Book of Enoch and called it scripture which was essential to know if you want to escape being in error.
