Does King Louis XII Look Like Vladimir Putin?

Louis XII, King of France and Russian president Vladimir Putin
Whether acquiring power through one's birth right or through a democratic process, running a nation is no easy task. Louis XII, King of France in 1498, ran the country for two decades. Some of his actions were controversial, such as the war that he instigated against Italy in 1494 as a commander, but he still remained a beloved ruler by his followers by protecting them from oppression and civil war. Hundreds of years later, the same holds true for Russian president Vladimir Putin, who was elected to the presidency three times by the public, despite some of his controversial dealings, such as his country's close relations to the civil war-torn country of Syria. Could it be that the pressures of running a country have given these leaders the same stressed out expression?

How does the aforementioned tie in with the Beast of Revelation Chapter 13?
Furthermore, if we were to scrutinize the date the Louis XII became the King of France, 1498, it can be noted as an anagram of 1948, the year Israel became a nation? Additionally, two decades is two sets of ten and ties in with the prophecies of ten horns and ten crowns in Revelation Chapter 13? More than likely the aforesaid means nothing at all? On the other hand, it may be history repeating itself all over again, and may just give us some sort of an inkling as to the correct identity of the Antichrist? As the old saying goes, if you want to see what is going to happen in the future then you can do no better than to look at what has happened in the past? However, that still does not infer that the Antichrist will be anything like Louis XII, King of France in either word or deed? Instead, he will be the personification of every evil and brutal tyrant who has ever walked the face of the earth all rolled up into a single individual. He will kill more people during the brief term of his reign of terror of just 42 months than the total number who lost their lives during the first and second world wars combined. The vile reign of the Antichrist commences with the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
