Is Vladimir Putin a Time Traveler?

[Maria]

Watch the entire video. Unfortunately, there are a few profane words that should have not been uttered.
I would rate this video as a P-13, not X.

The pictures of the three soldiers is mind blowing. if you're in a hurry, go to minute 1:47

[Matthew]

Putin cannot be a time traveller nor can he be hundreds of years old. The Scripture says, before the flood men lived for hundreds of years. But afterwards...

In Genesis 6 ESV it says:
"When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ... "

After the Flood:
Psalm 90:10 ESV
"The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away."

As for time travel, a writer on the web had this to say and I think it holds water:

Question: "Does the Bible say anything about the possibility of time travel?"

Answer: The Bible does not directly address the idea of time travel, at least not the type of time travel commonly featured in science fiction. Scripture indicates that each person has an appointed time of death (Hebrews 9:27) and that his days are known by God before they happen (Jeremiah 1:5; Acts 17:26). Scripture speaks often of events occurring according to God’s timetable (Genesis 21:1; Matthew 24:32; John 7:8; 1 Timothy 2:6), which runs counter to the idea of people changing historical events through time travel.

Do not worry, Matthew, I am not a New Ager.

I just think it is fascinating that pictures of two soldiers who existed before Putin was born look so much like him. I guess he has a rather classic face.

[Matthew]

Yes indeed the photos are interesting in their striking resemblance to Putin. It is the gene pool. I remember when I was living in BC, I ran into a young chap who had been adopted by an English family, and was raised entirely in the English culture and ways, yet he looked exactly like the typical french Canadian youth where I grew up in Quebec. He totally looked Quebecois. Russians are the same as are all homogeneous racial groups. They have many lookalikes.

I think the video is intended only for laughs.
The tone of the part I heard is so silly.
Comparing Putin with the Mona Lisa is ridiculous.

More striking than that is the video which I saw a long time ago comparing the features of the american president as of 2015 and those of his most famous quarry. The similarity of even their ears was breathtaking.

Some observers suggested therefore that these latter 2 were one and the same person : a different take on the idea of the purported chase of that quarry.
Most people could feel there was something rigged up about the entire "Hunt for ___ story".

Here, idle minds spun this out of the myth of Putin's invincibility.

Don't forget, though, that when Putin disappeared from the public eye for 2 weeks or so last year [or was it 2 years ago now ?], there was mass speculation that he had reposed or was sick in the hospital.
That demonstrates that not all view him as 'immortal" !

Matthew is quite right about the explanation. It's just the resemblance inherent in people born in the same country.
