Thanks LittleFish for your thoughtful post and your interesting question.
No, I never thought Putin was really going to resign January 2021... which is what makes the "coincidence" even more interesting [if Biden does indeed win, Trump leaves power January 2021.] Rather, I believe this interesting "coincidence" to be a sign that something more is afoot.
Repeatedly, the Bible uses the phrase "like a thief" to indicate a sudden surprise event that few could foresee.
For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief
1 Thessalonians 5:2 & 5:4
But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief...
2 Peter 3:10
Interestingly, "like a thief" is also repeated in Rev 16:15.... right before the verse about "Armageddon"!
Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed, so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed.
And they assembled the kings in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
Rev 16:15-16
In addition to that... I know from my Biblical and historic research, that God's anointed King Cyrus [Isaiah 44:28, Isaiah 45 & Ezra 1] conquered ancient Babylon 'like a thief in the night' when he dried up the Euphrates river at Babylon [which matches Rev 16:12] to allow his troops to secretly enter the city of Babylon and conquer Babylon by stealth!
Daniel 5 - the famous night when Babylon's king was celebrating and feasting and God's "handwriting on the wall" appeared [that only Daniel could interpret] was the same night that ancient secular history tells us that Babylon was having a huge celebration with Babylonians reveling drunk in the streets when Cyrus diverted the water of the Euphrates river, Cyrus' troops secretly invaded the city, and Cyrus conquered Babylon "like a thief!"... or as the Bible puts it: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN = MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting. PERES; Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
In the book of Revelation, Babylon is used to symbolize the end of the age global evil empire... and Cyrus [who is an OT archetype of Christ] is symbolically hidden!
