Mikhail Prokhorov

Hello
I first read about Mikhail Prokhorov late last year, and thought everything about him was "curious". He is running for Russian president against Vladimir Putin this March, and while he may not win....he is going to be getting a lot of attention. Other things about his profile I have read describe him as extremely rich, influential, charismatic, tall/athletic, popular in the US with models and wealthy people in the music industry.

Just read these 2 articles last night (click links below), and was interested to hear other's opinions on him, and then I found this forum so I joined

One of the sites you referred to said:

The reason we are including this article on Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, is to show how quietly and quickly someone from seemingly out of nowhere can suddenly become very important in world affairs, (and be a potential Antichrist candidate). While Russia is not really the Europe that most people believe the Antichrist will arise from ...

They are quite right in both statements ... that the A/C will not come out of Russia, but the rapid rise of this man does show how quickly a leader can pop up. Of course, Prokhorov may disappear as quickly as the previous richest Russian challenger did— tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who has been in prison since 2003, after running against Putin.

BTW, welcome to RF.

Interesting, glc, this guy is definitely someone to watch. Of course, this board watches Russia with keen interest as it is. Welcome to RF!

Thank you for replying.
I apologize that my first post wasn't detailed. The original article that I had linked to would have better explained what I was implying, but I am learning the rules on this forum as a Newbie, so I understand why my link was removed and replaced simply with a news article about this person.

What I had linked to was an article talking about how while we can't know the actual identity of the Antichrist, this person is an example of someone seemingly coming out of nowhere who could become very important in World affairs and it is additionally interesting that he is proposing a new European currency. It also stated that Russia is not really the Europe that most people believe the Antichrist will arise from (most think Western Europe), but it is interesting to see the rise of a European star with political, financial, and economic savvy who is still young enough to appeal to the masses (that was why I mentioned details about him dating models and being popular with rich Americans in the music and sports industries).

I was just curious if anyone else had any strong opinions about him being "the one", or "not the one" because of anything else they read or were aware of. I read about him in December and first thought "hmmmm?"....then read about him again this week and thought "wonder what others who keep tabs on Bible Prophecy-like news think about him?" That was it!
