Why Russia Wants the Hagia Sophia?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]
A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Hagia Sopia is in Istanbul, formerly Constantinople. It was built in 537AD by the eastern Roman Emperor Justinian. Initially a cathedral it became a Muslim mosque, a museum and in 2022, much to the displeasure of the Russian President Putin, a mosque again. For over a millennium Russia has viewed this cathedral as the centre of eastern orthodoxy and is keen to regain religious control of it. The Bible through the prophecy of Daniel highlights the Russian intention to take military control of Constantinople and in so doing using Turkey as a stepping stone to invading Israel. This will trigger Armageddon.
