A Ukrainian Orthodox Church archbishop, Yevstratiy Zoria called Putin the “antichrist of our current time”, according to the Yahoo News and other media outlets, as they quoted a podcasted interview of the BBC, aired on February 27, 2022.  The archbishop’s bitter  grudge is certainly more than justified against Putin, especially in hindsight of the ongoing genocide of the last weeks, however the very term of the “Antichrist” is an oxymoron. The fitting and real biblical term is “the Beast”, which means an Empire level global predator.
