New York Times' best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg lists reasons how Russian President Vladimir Putin fits into some aspects of Scriptural end-times prophecy, but warns it's still too early to tell if he is part of the Gog mentioned in Ezekiel.

Importantly, Rosenberg notes that Putin doesn't see himself just as president, but rather a czar, the difference being that czars are imperialists who want to expand their kingdom.

Putin, says Rosenberg, is definitely "probing" to do just that.

As a descendent of Jews persecuted in WWII, Rosenberg says that Jews in Ukraine are fearful, as well they should be.

"They should be on planes heading for Israel," says Rosenberg, adding that " It's amazing Jews have decided to stay in Ukraine," because of its history of anti-Semitism. (Photo via CBN News)

Indeed, says Rosenberg, "Israel may have to start airlifting these Jews to Israel."

Rosenberg also mentions end-time prophecies in Ezekiel 38-39 and says that, while Putin is definitely a dictator and building an alliance with Iran, it's still too early to tell if the scenario is a fulfillment of these Scriptures.

In conclusion, Rosenberg frames the long-held notion of understanding history so that we don't repeat ourselves and asks what we really mean when we say that? When we see evil rising and genocides in motion, as we do today, why do we allow it to continue?
